The original is pretty dark for a childrens show. Even as an adult episodes like the one about blood bending made me shiver a bit.
Yeah but they weren't allowed to show or too directly imply death. That's why Jet's "death" scene was bizarrely vague. Getting rid of that restriction on the original writers would probably be interesting.
That's basically what happened with Legend of Korra. It wasn't TV-MA, but it was definitely a far darker show overall.
And when Korea got into the more obvious deaths they actually pulled it from broadcast and went streaming only.
The Earth Queen's murder was the one that crossed the line for the Nick execs. There was no way they were showing that on TV.
Nah. Avatar isn't dark at all for a kid's show.
Nobody dies. Nobody gets cut. Bending really just amounts to "pushing" in most fights.
Naruto on the other hand is quite dark for a kid's show.
