Please use subtitles. Also, please read the description in full.

This is an analysis video about some aspects of Avatar the Last Airbender that weren't handled very well, and why they don't work thematically. But it isn't just me being relentlessly negative, I also talk about some of my favorite shows and why I like them! =^.^=

I don't play Avatar footage in the video itself, because I don't want to get accused of copyright infringement. Like, I know that it is fair use, but YouTube and Nick probably won't see it that way.
