This article is written by Devin Faraci, who is obviously not too bright. He wrote that ATLA is "lame ass" and "kiddie crap", and he hasn't even seen the show. That's the worst part.
I sent Mr. Faraci an email, which I suggest all of us do so that he will see that there is a loyal fanbase for ATLA. Below is my email to him. (Of course, I was clean and tried to be diplomatic so he will actually read it.)
Mr Faraci,
I find it hard to believe that someone who claims to be in the entertainment journalist industry is so quick to judge a show that you have not seen or care to see.
You are right in that Avatar: The Last Airbender is targeted to children, as Nickelodeon predominately is. However, to hastely determine that it is "lame ass" and "kiddie crap" is narrow-minded and short-sited. In this day and age, it is difficult for parents to find a show that both they and their children can stomach. Avatar: The Last Airbender is one of those rare shows.
Granted, most Avatar: The Last Airbender fans are not excited about a live-action film, especially when the creators and writers of the series are cut out of the process to be replaced by Shyamalan, who has had a series of duds in the box-office.
You have every right to speak your opinion, but do not jump to conclusions about something of which you are ignorant.

To quote a Spongebob episode, he is 1% Evil and 99% hot gas. He just writes that garbage to get more hits on his website so he can charge more for advertising, etc. etc. and he just wants attention. He just needs a girlfriend.
