Avatar the Last Airbender is one of the greatest animated shows of all time.

I've watched it twice and have seen Muslims talk for hours about it. There are 3 ways this show appeals to Muslim viewers and gets them to fall in love with its story. If you're a Muslim who wants to create any type of content online you need to be using these 3 techniques to hook viewers.

Here they are:

Cultural Similarities

One of the main reasons Muslims find an affinity with this show is because they share cultural similarities with the characters. All the characters in the show come from tribes, they all wear modest clothes and they all have traditional beliefs that have been around for over a thousand years.

The Common Enemy

This basically means giving people a villain to root against. In Avatar, the common enemy is The Fire Lord, an evil man who uses fire to murder people and destroy their lands. The reason why this is so effective is because as Muslims, we have our own evil enemy who's out to get us: the Shaytan. This makes us able to relate to the show that much more.

Intense Adventure

The last thing this show does to hook viewers is give them an intense adventure. Every episode of this show contains flying, a chase scene, a battle or all of the above. This keeps viewers watching as the show gives them a sense of adventure that they don't find in every day life.

So if you're a Muslim content creator, remember to use these 3 things to make your content more engaging: tap into cultural similarities, make mention of a common enemy, and provide a sense of adventure.
