    You shut up. Avatar is for babies. Deal with it.


    Have you actually watched the show? For more than a moment?

    Did you leave it because you stopped liking it or because other 5th graders said it was dumb?

    HengeWeeder, can you get any more immature than that?

    Plot for Avatar:
    He doesn't "just bend air l0lzzz!!1!" like you said. His ultimate goal is to defeat the fire lord and eventually keep peace in the world after mastering water, earth, fire and air. There are even lessons that can be learnt... bravery, love, sacrifice, etc.

    Major complications arise (usually in kids' cartoons they just end up living happily ever after) and there are dark moments, action-packed scenes, fighting, and even deaths. They keep you guessing about what'll happen next. It's HARDLY a kids' show anymore! Hell, I bet there are lots of teens watching the show too.

    And have you noticed that Avatar's on the TV.com chart? And how there aren't many people posting on the SB boards? Because most of the SB fans are KIDS.

    Don't judge by the little that you have seen of Avatar. Or... wait, have you even TRIED watching it?
    Also, don't get me wrong, I enjoy SB and watch it when it comes on on Nick sometimes, and my whole family likes it, but I'd choose Avatar ANY day!

    Also, SB is the more "baby" show. Sometimes the plots are... brainless.

    Spongebob, because Avatar is for 6 year olds.
    did you really just say spongebob is better because avatar is for 6 year olds? if anything spongebob is the one for 6 year olds, although it's true that lots of older people watch it, and i don't blame them, but avatar has the same situation, first, it's TVY7, meaning 6 year olds can't watch it, second, it too has an older fanbase that love it.
    seriously, avatar is a little more complex than spongebob, it can be enjoyed by a wide range of audiences, that's something that both shows have in common.

    now on to my main point:
    i apologise spongebob fans, my fellow avatar fans are angry because 'atlantis squarepants' took the timeslot of the much anticipated avatar movie event 'day of black sun', the people who have come here to argue with you aren't really angry with spongebob, they just think they are, they're really angry at nick for taking away day of black sun and pushing it back a week.
    i'm a fan of both shows, i like spongebob because it's quite funny, but i like avatar more because it has more dimensions to it, it has humour, not the same humour as spongebob, but humour, it also has action, romance and drama. this is why i like it more.

    please stop with the spongebob hating fellow avatards, but also, spongebob fans, please stop the avatar hating. (specifically you hengeweeder, you seem to be the main person doing the flaming, i'm sure if you took the time to get into the plot of avatar you would realise it's more than a kid trying to bend air)

    I think we should all listen to you Tomtitan . Despite the fact that me and you have different opinions, I respect your opinions and what you say.

    It is about time we close this topic altogether. Is the editor around?

    the sad thing about this thread is that even though it is in the Spongebob forums, there are still more Avatar fans in this thread... Which kind of disrupts the poll results... and stuff...

    I'm sorry. As much as I hate to bring this up, I say that you can't compare these two shows. You're comparing two completely different genres. Just because SpongeBob airs more doesn't mean that it automatically gets the right to be compared against Nick's ONLY good action show.

    Honestly, I should just march up to the Avatar forums and make a thread called "Avatar or Family Guy?". Or I should post a thread here saying "SpongeBob or Heroes?". And people would continue to vote even if you can't compare both shows... That's the same with Avatar and SpongeBob. There's nothing linking them together in genre. Even if they both use comedy, they both use different types of comedy...

    Don't worry; Minerva doesn't do "flamming" . But really, this topic has gone longer than it should have.

    How do you people hate Avatar?! It's the best! Maybe you guys that hate it but never watched it, should try it out. Trust me, I thought it was stupid judging by the first commercial at first, but then I tried it and now it's my all time FAVORITE.

    Even my cousins thought it looked stupid, but I convinced them to watch my Avatar DVDs and now they say it rocks. It's a mixture of Action/Adventure, Comedy, Drama and even some Romance! You've GOT to try it. Plus Spongebob is old already. Try something new.

    spongebob is better but i like avatar too. katara is my favorite avatar character.

    the Avatar fans can get over losing a few time slots for SB.

    Not just a timeslot. nick lied to us. for SB. IT WAS GONNA BE THE BIGGEST EVENT OF THE SEASON SO FAR!!!! AND THEY CANCELED IT!!! The fact that they lied was the part that made me mad. not just showing SB, but the false advertising.

    Look we all now that Nick is more than just a tv network thingy thing. They are trying to take control of todays children and give them shows that stupify them so they can be easier to control when they grow up. So by common knowledge we will be ruling Spongebob Fans in the future cuz they hav the weeklings brain.

    But it's up to the parent to guide their child or at least the child should know whether or not to be "stupified" as you say by SpongeBob.

    Perhaps you're the one who has been "stupified" by Avatar because you're using words like "thingy thing" which people like Sokka might say...

    No offense to that user, but I laughed at their post .

    But really Minerva, this thread has to be closed. Where is the editor ?
