I'm sorry, I know this is slightly off topic, but I'd like to know exactly how you can say Naruto is good at all, much less better than Avatar (I'll give you Death Note and Bleach). They just stand there, shouting out corny lines, shouting the names of their attacks, then throwing clones and needles at each other. Then you have ten filler episodes of Naruto being stupid and/or eating ramen. Zuko may be the most developed, but he's hardly the only one... |

Well, Naruto actually has a maturity factor. That and a better plot.

| Hey, just so you know, the user that went to the boards a few hours ago is a n00b, don't think that all Avatards are as stupid as him. Well, you have to watch the series to know. I'm not the best at explaining stuff, specially characters, so i can't tell you how much they've all developed. [Except maybe Toph] But, the story is quite original, the pace is very good, the fighting scenes are ok and the humor is quite good. That's what i look for in a show, if you don't, then Avatar isn't for you, and yeah, there are a bunch of flamers here and you're outnumbered, i suggest you leave guys^_^;; |

| Avatar plot is pretty straight forward. Destroy the Firelord and save the world. In Naruto there are many different goals such as destroying Akatsuki, Naruto becoming Hokage, Naruto saving Sasuke, Sasuke getting his revenge and so on. |

Zuko at first restoring his honor, then meeting at the crossroads and then falls to the dark side, then wakes up mentally and realizes he's a good guy and goes to join the good guys. Ty Lee at first we see her, she's kinda like Azula's yes-woman, but as said on "The Beach" (A true Character-developing episode) She was never really noticed and started to work at the circus so she could be unique. Mai, at first we see her as this depressed chick, then we realize she has a crush on Zuko. During a childhood episod "Zuko Alone" (A great Zuko's past episode) and also started to show in Season 3 was that Mai and Azula weren't the neccesary friends. And on the Boiling Rock, Mai betrayed Azula to save her boyfriend. I got 10 more to go, I can do this all night. |

I take it you think Naruto is better simply because it has violence for the sake of violence? As forZuko being the most developed, he really isn't, he just went through the most changes. He was intended to be the character to go through the most changes from the start. As for the other characters, they've changed quite a bit as well.
Aang is no longer the happy go lucky kid we saw come out of the iceberg. Little innocent Katara has now made a death threat and meant it. Sokka is still a wise guy but he's gone from believing he's useless to knowing he's a valuable asset to the gang. Toph used to be an abrasive girl who seemed to not care too much about anything, and now she admits that she does love her parents (as well as Sokka). Ty Lee, Mai, and them are side characters so they don't really count, except for the bit of background information we have about them.
Avatar is a pretty excellent show that's intelligently written and isn't all about over-the-top violence as much as it's about the characters themselves. Naruto has nice action, but is it even as meticulous as the motion-captured martial arts action in Avatar? Didn't think so. They mostly leap impossible distances at each other and punch each other in the face. I do like Naruto, but Avatar is a more planned and better written show that was meant to have a beginning, a middle, and an end.
