Something that recently refilled my “geek-meter” was rediscovering the Nickelodeon animated series “Avatar: The Last Airbender” over quarantine. The show premiered when I was a young kid, and my brother and I used to watch it religiously. What is crazy is how it is equally appealing to me now as it was 10 years ago. I think if we all take a minute to get ourselves, and understand that just because a show is animated (or intended for children), doesn’t mean it is not brilliant with complicated characters and their arcs. I’m having a similar experience while watching “Star Wars: The Clone Wars.” One of the coolest things about watching Avatar is all of the fighting styles. In the show, you have elemental “benders” of earth, water, fire, and air. Each form or bending has its own unique style, and each style was inspired by real fighting arts. I highly recommend watching to anyone, of any age.
