Bryke is back at Nickelodeon in a big way.

⚡️💙⬇️💙⚡️

Mike and I are heading up a new studio dedicated to expanding the Avatarverse. Here’s our quote from EW.com (link for the full article):

“It’s hard to believe it’s been 19 years since we created Avatar: The Last Airbender. But even after all that time, there are still many stories and time periods in Aang’s world that we are eager to bring to life. We are fortunate to have an ever-growing community of passionate fans that enjoys exploring the Avatarverse as much as we do. And with this new Avatar Studios venture we have an unparalleled opportunity to develop our franchise and its storytelling on a vast scale, in myriad exciting ways and mediums. We are exceedingly grateful to Brian Robbins and Ramsey Naito for their enthusiasm and respect for the Avatar property and us as its stewards. From the start, they’ve supported our ambitious plans and created a positive, proactive environment for us. We’re excited to be back at Nickelodeon where Avatar began, doing what we do best in the biggest way possible. We can’t wait to build the great teams and productions to make all of this fantasy a reality.” – Bryan Konietzko & Michael DiMartino

let’s talk about how amazing Avatar: The Last Airbender is for a second

Fantasy world not based on typical medieval Europe

Was a children’s show that openly discussed war, death and genocide

Had several handicapped characters, one of whom was the show’s most powerful person

Every single character was a person of color, drawn to represent Asian and Inuit peoples

Had a character story arc centered around both emotional and physical parental abuse, whose arc was about learning that they didn’t need the parent who abused them

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL ART STYLE AND DIRECTION

Three dimensional writing that rivals even most adult dramas

Characters dealt with sexism in society

Showed citizens on both sides of the war, including showing how the people in the enemy nation were merely influenced by propaganda and an oppressive regime

Had romances that developed overtime and actually talked about the issues of forming a relationship instead of just “and now they’re in love.”

Characters died. On a children’s show. Characters who you fucking knew! Who had story arcs and were their friends and were kids like them!

When those characters died, they left an impact. It wasn’t ignored after a few episodes, the feelings they had for these characters stayed through the entire show

Had environmental messages that weren’t cheesy, and they made you take the destruction of the environment seriously

SUPERB world building, fleshing out many cultures and histories that always felt real

Had a magic system that never felt like magic. It always felt natural and like a solid part of this world with rules that couldn’t be broken

The cute animal sidekicks weren’t just there to sell toys. They were characters who had so much emotion to them and were vital parts of the show’s dynamic. Also, the animals never talked yet somehow still portrayed an insane emotional level that some Disney films only dream of

Spawned a sequel series that dealt not only with sexism, but with sexuality, religion, and the benefits and dangers from the rapid progression of technology

The point is, Avatar: The Last Airbender is one of the greatest shows of all time and the proof is right there
