doubt it many cinemas in oz have stopped screening it after less than two weeks. According to wiki its revenue is less than its budget.

"Box office
The Last Airbender opened with $16 million, which includes $3 million from its midnight showing, and earned $16.7 million the following day.[61] The film ranked fifth for a Thursday opening at $16,350,000.[62] After bringing in an estimated $40.5 million over the three-day, Fourth of July weekend, its Monday gross brought its four-day total to an estimated $53.2 million and its five day total at an estimated $70.5 million. 54% of its gross was from 3D presentations at 1,606 screens.[63] In its second weekend the film fell 59% compared to its first, and grossed an estimated $16.6 million marking M. Night Shyamalan's most financially successful release since his 2004 film, The Village.[64][65] Opening overseas in 1,205 sites, the film grossed an estimated $10 million, $8 million of which was from 870 sites in Russia, making it the number one movie there.[66]" -Wiki

Consistency didn't bother me. It was that Shamalnanan just fucked up nearly every aspect of the series. No story. No comedy. No Suki. NO SUKI?! What the hell was he thinking?!? Not only was she cute, she was a played a very important roll in the series... not the mention Sokka's love interest in the later chapters.
I mean, really. Did he even watch the series? *rant*

Never followed the series. Maybe because I watched the beginning part which was targeted at kids and highly obnoxious. I hear the later was catered to older people though.

Yeah, pretty much. First season was light and fluffy, second and third were much better in every manner.
Example of a joke in season 2.
Group is flying around on Appa looking for a temple in the desert.
Toph (blind earth bender): "I see it! I see it!"
Sokka: "Where? WHERE?!"
Toph: *turns around, grinning madly. Waving her hand in front of her eyes*
Sokka: *frown*
^funny as hell
Of course Shamalananan wouldn't know about things that are funny! What a dick.
agbaba:
toph sokka were such a good combo for humour in the last two seasons esp the 2nd.
Also, I think there was childish elements (esp Aangs jokes) throughout the series. But you quickly grow to like it because the plot and characters are so good so the childish elements provide some light comic relief.
