    Honestly, with an ending like it did, I can't think of anything other than this meager truism "good prevails over evil", which honestly is a bunch of BS.

    The only thing I can think of is "Violence isn't the answer".

    I think its something like, "You can always find a life, but you can't always find a destiny."

    something from IROH!

    its from "the crossroads of destiny"

    "life is like a dark tunnel you never know what is on the other end, but if you follow it you will come to a better place."

    not really a moral but a great quote.

    NOW back on topic.

    blind girls can be hot?

    there are different themes for each episode, sometimes there are many different themes and subthemes.
    we could name a hundred different themes for the avatar series.

    im having trouble thinking what the main theme is though. (its really complicated)
    though im leaning towards good versus evil a.t.m.

    Everyone is capable of great good and great evil, as stated in The Avatar and The Firelord.

    lies, since I pretty much wrote a longass moral in my review, check it out (it's in my sig)...

    since I kno a lot of u won't read it I'll post the end of my review here (read the whole thing anways)

    Avatar's about a struggle we all endure, that we have to take a journey even though it might be hard, and our hearts can be broken, and it's easy to turn away from the path we should be taking, but staying true to who you are, and giving yourself the courage to not give up even when your whole world is falling apart makes you a hero in ur own right.

    I'll have to disagree. Sure Aang defeated Ozai without killing him, but Aang almost died in Ba Sing Se and the Fire Nation effectively conquered the Earth Kingdom. So you could either rephrase the whole thing like "In the end, justice will bring order" or like "Determination brings victory closer"

    The innocense of a child can be more pure than a god.

    We choose our destiny, never the other way around.

    That's all i can think of.

    i know this might not go alone with your question. But i always saw the fire nation as an society they we live in today. And showing it might not be the best way of life, Like the water tribes or earth kingdom
