I don't know about anybody else, but it feels like 2025 is shaping itself up to be a rather horrid year even though it's only January. Feeling worn down, I've found that my writing has been slow and I'm in need of a comfort watch. With that in mind, I've decided to kill two birds with one stone through another blogging marathon. To commemorate the show's 20th anniversary in February, I'm looking at my favourite animated series: Avatar: The Last Airbender (also known in some places as The Legend of Aang).
Now, here's something a little ironic about my looking at this show; it originally passed me by when it first aired. I would have been eleven years old in 2005, but I wasn't really watching cartoons other than The Simpsons at that point. Flash forward to my 21st birthday, I was visiting my older brother and he showed me the first couple of episodes on Netflix. With that, I was hooked. As soon as I got back from my trip, I got my own Netflix subscription and slowly worked my way through the series. It's since become one of my favourite comfort watches. I love the characters, the animation, the worldbuilding, and the deep themes. It was such a ride, and I love the epic journey the characters embark on.
I'm going to start the marathon tomorrow, looking at two episodes per post (possibly more if there's two-parters). I'll try and keep spoilers to a minimum, but that's not always easy for events that carry over into subsequent episodes.
I hope you can join me this odyssey, and save me some cactus juice.
