Seems like everyone has been invited to Lake Laogai by the Earth King. It's disappointing, but not really surprising, that not a single review here has pointed out why Avatar: The Last Airbender is one of the most IMPORTANT pieces of art ever created. Sure, it has great characters, cool action sequences, and beautiful animation, but what makes ATLA a MASTERPIECE is its exploration of real-world socio-political issues in guise of a kid's cartoon, issues that has become more relevant than ever as we continue to fight the Fire Nations of our own world: > Return to Omashu - colonialism > The Swamp - interconnectedness, environmentalism > Avatar Day - historical revisionism, fake news > Zuko Alone - police brutality > The Serpent's Pass - war refugees > City of Walls and Secrets & Lake Laogai - classism, institutional lies, censorship, fascist propaganda, genocide denial, indoctrination > Appa's Lost Days - animal cruelty
