KPop Demon Hunters Meets Avatar: The Last Airbender In Netflix’s 3-Part Fantasy Series

by

As a huge animation fan, I’m really excited about this new Netflix series! It feels like the perfect thing for anyone who loves both KPop Demon Hunters and Avatar: The Last Airbender. Honestly, there’s a lot of crossover between those fanbases – both shows are animated, yes, but they appeal to way more than just kids. I wouldn’t hesitate to call both of them masterpieces, truly cultural moments that go beyond typical children’s programming.

Considering how loved both KPop Demon Hunters and Avatar: The Last Airbender are, it’s no wonder that a show blending their best qualities is also fantastic. That show is Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia, a three-season animated series on Netflix. Like its inspirations, Trollhunters has earned a high score from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, with a 96% approval rating.

KPop Demon Hunters 99%
Avatar: The Last Airbender 98%
Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia 96%

Like Avatar: The Last Airbender, Trollhunters tells a thrilling story with complex themes that appeals to a wide audience. Both shows feature a “chosen one” – Jim Lake Jr. in Trollhunters and Aang in Avatar – who is destined to be a hero. Importantly, neither hero faces their challenges alone; both have loyal friends who offer unique skills and support. Finally, both Avatar and Trollhunters draw inspiration from real-world mythology and cultures, adding depth to their stories.

Both Trollhunters and KPop Demon Hunters have similar themes. In KPop Demon Hunters, the pop stars of HUNTR/X secretly fight demons, while in Trollhunters, Jim balances high school life with being a magical hero who protects the troll world. Like the main character in KPop Demon Hunters, Jim is special—he’s the first human ever chosen for this important role. Ultimately, these two shows share a lot of common ground.

Netflix’s Trollhunters Is Just A Small Part Of A Larger Universe

Like Avatar: The Last Airbender, Trollhunters has three seasons, which is a good length for getting invested in the story. And just like Avatar (and the upcoming KPop Demon Hunters), Trollhunters is part of a larger world. If you enjoy the animated Netflix series, you’ll be glad to know there are two more shows and a movie to continue the adventure.

Following the success of Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia, the Tales of Arcadia universe expanded with the sci-fi series 3Below: Tales of Arcadia and the time-travel fantasy Wizards: Tales of Arcadia. These stories all culminate in the epic finale, Trollhunters: Rise of the Titans. This interconnected world is impressively detailed and imaginative, thanks to its creator, fantasy expert Guillermo del Toro.

Guillermo del Toro is famous for his dark and imaginative fantasy films like Pan’s Labyrinth, The Shape of Water, and Frankenstein. He brings that same creative vision to Trollhunters, even though it’s designed for a younger audience. This is likely why the Netflix series and its related shows, collectively known as Tales of Arcadia, have been so popular with viewers of all ages, consistently earning high ratings – between 91% and 100% – on Rotten Tomatoes.

There are many fantastic reasons to watch Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia, and it’s part of a really wonderful world of stories. It’s excellent animated fantasy, similar in quality to shows like KPop Demon Hunters and Avatar: The Last Airbender. Plus, it’s entertainment the whole family can enjoy!
