Although I was disappointed how terrible the movie was , the TV show series "Avatar the last Air bender " is amazing and full of archetypes from mythology. I started watching this show with my brother and we ended up watching it every single day of the summer. We ended up watching every single episode at least twice. This TV show is full of kick ass archetypes that everyone will enjoy.
The world is divided in four nations based on four elements. Water represents spirituality and passivity, earth represents receptive and solid, air represents movement and freedom and lastly fire represents control and violent passion.The world is being dictated by the fire nation and the world has been waiting for a savior (avatar) for a hundred years to free them from the destruction of the fire nation. Finally the avatar is found and his name is Anng the last last air bender alive. This goes well together because the world needs a savior to be free and air represents freedom. Anng starts he's quest with his friends to find his mentors to train him to learn each element to defeat the fire nation. Anng is also accompanied by two friendly beast Momo and Appa which reflect that nature is on the hero's side.
This show has three seasons, so there are many more archetypes to be seen. If you love action and a great battle between good vs evil and seeing good ultimately triumphs over evil despite all the challenges faced.
