A hundred years prior to the TV show, the Avatar, a generational spirit who changes between elements every lifetime, disappears and the Fire Nation attacks, changing everything. This peace was encouraged by a person who could manipulate all four elements, known as the Avatar. The opening credits for the show get across a very complex idea in a perfectly simple manner: they show people manipulating water, fire, air and earth, and go on to say that people who were able to manipulate these elements lived in different nations who lived in relative peace.

The animated Nickelodeon show, Avatar: The Last Airbender is about a lot of things, but first and foremost it is about genocide.
