Avatar is great, but only if we're talking about Last Airbender. Kora was mediocre, but after you got done with Airbender, Kora was downright insulting.  

[hider=Regarding your concerns]
Amon was able to block the blood bending because he was a far more powerful blood bender. In fact, he was so strong he was able to replicate Aang's ability to block bending, which was just done through blood bending I guess? Season one of Kora wasn't too offensive, but some of the stuff wasn't spelled out for you. And I seem to recall Kora unlocking Aang's memories and just undoing the blood bending. If Aang and Kora were both alive at the same time, that's a huge lol moment.

Season two sucked. It only gave us those twins and "JULIE, DO THE THING!" but was otherwise something that more or less shouldn't have happened. 

Zaheer is why I think Kora is worth watching at all. I really wanted to see what an evil air bender would be like and season three delivered on that. going back into how they don't explain things great, it wasn't untill several days after I watched the episode that I realized the only reason he was able to fly was because his waifu who died was the only thing he cared about in the world. So once she was dead, he had no more worldly desires. 10/10 villain, wasted on this show though. His skill with bending was a little weird, but the idea of people just magically becoming benders was a weird angle. I guess they justified it because he more or less worshipped the air benders, and most of their training was inner strength stuff, which he had in spades.

Sorry to hurt you though.

In regards to the Oscars, I'm pretty sure people will take it seriously again when/if it gets back in touch with reality and doesn't serve huge media conglomerates by being a popularity contest.
