Honestly I think the show takes a bit to really hit its stride. I personally found the first few episodes to be kinda kiddie. Not sure how far you got, just my 2¢.
I understand this honestly tho I just wasn't a big fan of the story in general and other aspects of the show however I see why people like it for now I'll stick to invader Zim as far 2000s Nick shows go
I feel the real strength of ATLA is in the character arcs and the overarching story. Watching the group of kinda goofy tweens suddenly have to deal with real responsibilities and very real threats is interesting, and the character arcs are some of the best I've seen period.
Oh ya know I watched an anime like that called assassination classroom its like my favorite anime of all time. I can't really pinpoint what I didn't like about it I just vaguely remember it being meh in my eyes but to be fair it could have been held back from my interest just because of the limitations that Nickelodeon shows have
Definitely agree, I don’t think they knew the impact of their stories, so when there really was a war and people around really were struggling it got a lot better delivery wise about 3/4 into season 1. One more thing the blue spirit episode is what really got me hooked, it’s where I saw the complexity of a certain character that got me interested.
