    Avatar lost it's hype...

    Was there any to begin with?

    The last time Nick hyped Avatar was in that "Secret of the Fire Nation" special. I remember watching those comercials every comercial break and being all liek "FN haz nuke! FN haz nuke!"

    I was wrong.

    But still, that's the last time Avatar was hyped.

    I don't know why the "FN haz nuke!" thing made me laugh so hard. Must macro that!

    And I think, I think that they mean hype among the fans. I could be wrong though.

    Suki agrees with you.

    And so do I.

    You'd think a station would treat their best show better than this? I guess I'll send my seeker after that info too.

    I still stand by my statement that come TWO WEEKS BEFORE THE FINALE, the hype, anticipation, and excitement leading up to the new episodes will be through the roof.

    Exactly. Any Avatard will practically crap themselves at any mention of the word "Avatar" or anything that you can possibly connect to the show. Even the most obscure thing.

    I know I'll be mentally fangasming everywhere I go. Mentally, mind you. Because it would be rather odd if you see a girl randomly gasm at seemingly nothing.

    I was thinking about Avatar the whole week leading up to the season 3 premiere, I can't tell you how many grades/homework I shrugged off so I could watch the trailer at home or watch AMVs. I also almost called my friend Katara. And she (as well as all of my other friends) have absolutely no idea that I like Avatar. That would have been interesting to say the least.

    And here I come, late the the party...

    As far as it's place on Nick, I have to agree, Avatar has no hype. When has it ever? Even back whenever they started showing the third season and had 10 weeks of new episodes, it's like it almost got passed over. They showed each episode once, maybe twice, and that was it, period. When was the last time an Avatar episode was even shown on Nick? Honestly, it seems really weird to me.

    As far the the Internet community, I don't know, I don't hang out here. But personally, yes, these long hiatuses are just killing my interest in the show. I still want to watch it, of course, but I used to be obsessed with it. Now it seems like the only thing I think when I think of Avatar is, "Meh." I mean, it's still two months until we get new episodes, it's been more than six months since the last batch, and there were months between the season 2 finale and that. How excited can I get about something I experience twice a year at best? Which drives me nuts because I want to love this show - and I do, when I see it. Unfortunately, with this schedule that translates to hardly ever.

    Yes, Avatar has lost its hype. I say S2 was better overall. Sokka may have not been a good fighter in S2, But Zuko was awesome in some ways...

    I don't care which was the 'best' in everyone's minds, but my favorite episode was Siege of the North Part II. Now that was good, and it was in the season finale of book 1, which people didn't like as much as season 2. Season 3 is mostly funny stuff I think, like the beach etc. idk, I don't really know if season 3 is worse than season 2 because I really haven't seen it in so long.

    Avatar hasnt lost its hype, Nick just treats it like it has. The last time i seen so much uproar in any fandom anywhere thats matched what ive seen with this show was probally when everyone found out 2pac had a album named Makaveli comming out 2 months after he died.

    The hype will only get worse (In a good way) during the summer BEFORE the Finale. No school and no holdbacks. Uh-oh, I can practically see my Apple Juice shaking.

    can't really say avatar has ever been really "hyped" up.

    however, i can certainly say that the gigantic gap between premieres sure has made me lose some interest in this show.
