Yay for themes of redemption!!!

I finally finished the Avatar: The Last Airbender seasons. Seriously, I have not been this excited about a story since I learned that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows had a publication date. I was literally on the edge of my seat watching the season finale and I can only hope that Season 3 isn't too far off!!

Anyway, I found this interview with the co-creators of Avatar and they talked about one of the themes I had noticed, but not really expected to be talked about openly.

It's really important to Mike and I on the show that these aren't black and white characters. We love stories of redemption. That it's possible for people to elevate to something better than they started out with, or maybe that they fell into. That's really paramount to Mike and I.
