For Avatar fans: Where does Avatar rank in your list of top American action toons?

Actually, much like Gargoyles, there were story details in Avatar that weren't planned from the get go (According to interviews and commentaries):

- Toph was originally suppose to be a guy (Earthbender you see in the opening and reason for Man-Toph in Ember Island Players).
- Jet's return wasn't in the early plans.
- Zuko's relation to Avatar Roku.
- While Zuko's actions in Crossroads Of Destiny were planned, I believe he was meant to join the Gaang sooner than he did.
 
Yeah, it's a bit unrealistic for people to think a show was planned out everything from the beginning. People get new ideas or change mid-way through, and they also have to take into account a lot of ideas come from the writers and people working on the show besides the creators (fight coreography, background characters, etc) I know the Foaming Mouth Guy was originally created by one of the Korean animators, and they reused him a few times after that because they liked him.

The writing in the third season also gets pretty wonky/inconsistant, which makes me think they must have chanegd something dramatically about it as they finished the third season (perhaps the whole Zuko plotline)
