Avatar has the fortune of having a good sense of character arcs and some smart writing decisions. Toph and Iroh are really good takes on the "side character who's stronger than the main character" thing. And while not every character is S-tier like those two, there's a sort of attentiveness even to the less interesting characters. Like, nobody remembers loving Pakku but even he has a trackable arc and conclusion.

Most people watched it as kids and aren't necessarily big animation fans as adults so even being decently competent and thematically coherent rockets it to "best cartoon ever" status for a lot of people.

The year Kill la Kill and Korra were running at the same time was an absolutely dire time for female protagonist posting
