Its bending disciplines are based on different martial arts including Northern Shaolin Kung Fu and Tai Chi. The world of "Avatar," as Nicole Clark wrote in Vice, is on par with other fantasy greats like "Lord of the Rings." However, it draws inspiration from a variety of Asian cultures (primarily Chinese, Clark notes) as opposed to European, as is the case in most Western fantasy fare. In turn, the Avatar is tasked with maintaining balance in the world, particularly between humans and spirits. Certain members of each nation have the ability to bend one of the four elements, and one individual known as the Avatar has the power to bend all of them. In the years since, the series has stood out as one of the century's fantasy greats.Īvatar takes place in a world comprised of four nations: the Earth Kingdom, the Fire Nation, the Water Tribes, and the Air Nomads. It's been over 15 years since "Avatar: The Last Airbender" first premiered on Nickelodeon.
