Iroh Sings Leaves From the Vine (Little Soldier Boy) 🍃| Avatar


We all remember one of the most touching moments in Avatar history–– Iroh singing Leaves From the Vine while mourning the loss of his son, Lu Ten, on his birthday. The emotional weight and beauty of this scene is one aspect (of many) as to why Avatar: The Last Airbender is regarded as such an iconic show. Now, come watch and remember this scene in its original quality.

The news follows Netflix adding Avatar: The Last Airbender to its library.

Created by Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko and airing between 2005 and 2008, the critically-acclaimed Avatar: The Last Airbender is set in world people can manipulate the elements of Earth, Water, Fire, and Air, and they lived peacefully in different regions until one of the nations started a world war. One master who can manipulate all four elements, dubbed the "Avatar," had been able to prevent this war, but disappeared soon after. 100 years later, a new Avatar named Aang awakens and sets out on a journey to master all the elements in order to bring peace to the land once more by defeating Fire Lord Ozai and ending the destructive war with the Fire Nation.

The series managed to be such a hit with fans by combining amazing animated action set pieces with three dimensional interesting characters set in this magical fantasy world.

The animated series originally aired for 61 episodes over three seasons ("Books") originally on Nickelodeon, where it began in February 2005 and concluded in July 2008. The series was nominated for—and won—Annie Awards, Genesis Awards, a Primetime Emmy Award, and a Peabody Award.

Its success led to the creation of adjacent consumer products, including video games, and a follow-up series, The Legend of Korra, that returned to the world of Avatar years after Aang’s death to follow Korra, his successor as Avatar. That series ran between 2012-2014. In 2010, the series got its first feature-length film, The Last Airbender.

The stories of both Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra have since continued on in graphic novel series.

Netflix will be putting out an Avatar: The Last Airbender live-action series from original creators DiMartino and Konietzko sometime in the future, with filming set to begin this year. The streaming giant has said that it plans to stay true to the location and “background heritage” of the animated series after the 2010 film failed to do so.

Paramount Home Entertainment and Nickelodeon Home Entertainment released the Avatar: The Last Airbender – The Complete Series 15th Anniversary Limited Edition Steelbook Collection in February 2020.

New SpongeBob Theory Suggests That Bikini Bottom's Flower Clouds Are Actually Oil Pollution from Military Testing

Ah, flower clouds. These colorful flower-shaped clouds can be seen in the Bikini Bottom sky in every episode of SpongeBob SquarePants. But, could they be hiding a sinister secret?


Twitter user @CahayaSakinah_ has come up with a new disturbing theory that these flower clouds - although pleasant to look at - could actually be oil pollution. And when you look at the photos @CahayaSakinah_ posted along with the theory, she does have a point.


One of the most well-known theories about Nickelodeon's beloved animated series is that Bikini Bottom is actually Bikini Atoll. SpongeBob voice actor Tom Kenny even confirmed that Bikini Bottom is "kind of named after Bikini Atoll".

The real-world Bikini Atoll is a coral reef in the Marshall Islands that consists of 23 islands surrounding a central lagoon. Between 1946 and 1958, the United States military detonated 23 nuclear devices there both in the air and underwater. The inhabitants of Bikini Atoll were relocated in 1946 and some allowed to return in 1970 but it was soon discovered that the area remained highly radioactive and were removed again in 1980. The area remains mostly unhabitable to this day.

A popular fan theory about SpongeBob suggests that the world of Bikini Bottom is inhabited by creatures who were mutated by that nuclear testing. Specifically, another fan theory suggested that Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy were Navy divers accidentally caught in the Bikini Atoll tests --

With all the devices being used in the area, it would make sense that they would discharge a certain amount of oil over the years.

And the theory that the flower clouds are really oil pollution does have some merit. In the series, they can be moved and interacted with, and when outside of the town, they appear stretched out and distorted. They are even able to fall from the sky.

Stephen Hillenburg, the late creator of SpongeBob SquarePants,

The late creator of SpongeBob SquarePants, Stephen Hillenburg, was a marine biologist who first came up with SpongeBob as a way to teach children about taking care of the ocean. So it would make sense that oil pollution - although a negative aspect of the sea - would make its way into the series, a sort of way to encourage viewers to take better care of our oceans.

What do you think of this new theory? Let me know in the comments!
