"I didn't realise they had such a connection already"
I mean... he's basically been the travelling circus at a backwater town, where's work work and train for war.
There's some seriously masterful character building here that teaches us a lot about who the characters are without outright stating it.
Aang is playful and doesn't pay much respect to Sokka's seriousness or Katara's warnings and he's full of little phrases like "to be a bender, you have to let go of fear" that *sound* smart, but aren't, really. He's still just a kid. On the other hand, as soon as he realises the village is in trouble, he has no hesitation about facing down Zuko's whole crew. On the other hand, he immediately realises he's risking the people around him, and surrenders rather than put them to any more risk. He's also back to fun mode immediately after being rescued, although he clearly has some deep emotions about his status as Avatar. Aang is confident in his abilities, he's reckless and doesn't really think about consequences, but when his recklessness causes danger to others he'll put himself at considerable risk to help them. He's also an irrepressible goofball.
Katara gets into a flaming row with her entire community and leave home with Aang... but after she cools down a little, she knows she can't. She's got responsibilities, so much so that she doesn't think of herself as a kid any more. She's got a lot of righteous anger - for all the duty and love of her culture, she's not prepared to be talked down to by Sokka. Her first instinct seems to be to help people - Aang in this case. Waterbending is very important to her, it's part of her culture and she's eager to learn, but also displays great adaptability. She's self-taught herself one move, that doesn't work how it's supposed to, but she's able to change her expectations and stance to make it work. She's passionate, dutiful, caring, and has one heck of a temper.
Sokka's a jerk to Aang in the early episodes, but as you saw, he's the only warrrior left to protect his entire village. He takes it very seriously, and ends up facing down an entire ship of Fire Nation soldiers alone, with no expectation of help. He worked hard to try and train children into warriors - getting mocked mercilessly all the while - and it paid off when one of them helped him during the fight. Sokka is brave and dutiful, he's overprotective of his sister and people to the point of hostility, he'll do what he thinks is necessary no matter how silly it makes him look and it sometimes pays off.
Zuko is a villain. He's invading their town, and clearly feels entitled to push the people around and threaten them. When he grabs Gran-Gran it seems like a standard villain threat, but no: he's using her as a visual aid - "he'd be about this age". He's being a bit callous, but not downright evil. When Aang offers to surrender in exchange for the village's safety, Zuko agreed and honours his word.
So, he's a bad guy, but he's honourable and can be trusted to keep his word, and is above directly threatening prisoners. Zuko effortlessly beat Sokka in a straight-up fight but was taken by surprise by an unexpected weapon, but Aang beat him pretty soundly - we understand his threat level. He's angry and impetuous, he's an accomplished fighter but not good with surprises. He has a very prickly pride and is infuriated by any reverse, however minor. He's very entitled and superior, but clearly holds himself to that superiority with a strong sense of personal honour.
Uncle Iroh is stern when instructing Zuko, relaxed and somewhat lazy when hes' not. He seems fairly well informed and is full of advice for his nephew, but is fairly dismissive of his quest and when the Avatar is captured just goes to bed, but seems to include himself when talking about The Fire Nation and didn't hesitate to attack Ang et al at the end of episode 2. He's relaxed, tough when he needs to be, is trying to gently rein in his nephew's impetuousness and clearly doesn't feel as strongly about the Avatar, but has pretty clearly decided which side he's on - Zuko, and the Fire Nation.
Avatar is excellent at world and character building through subtle writing and is a very rewarding story to dig deeper into! Thought has clearly been put into the characters, the world and the setting.
Apologies for the 3am essay, too much caffeine today. I hope you enjoy the show as much as I have!
To clarify Sokka's dad said protect them from threats, not foreigners, Sokka said "the foreigner is banished" but he never said his dad had a problem with foreigners.
So, you think this show might cause you to get emotional? You have no idea. Love, hate, respect, sorrow, grief, and joy are just some of what you are in store for.
You are in for a JOURNEY!
Melon lord cult!! Victory screech!!!! 😂❤ haha WHOOOOOOO🎉
yeah they will explain how zuko got his scar in the episdode called the stormand yes there all based on differn martial art water is based on tai chi firebending is Northern Shaolin kung fu. earthbending is hung ga kung fu and airbending is baguazhang
Stop pointing out what episode things happen. He's a WRITER. Let him enjoy the experience of natural discovery so he can appreciate the excellent writing in this show. It's simply not necessary and lessens the experience for everybody.
Appa’s age is 6/106
Aang’s age is 12/112
Katara’s age is 14
Sokka’s age is 15, his name is pronounced Sah-Kah
Zuko’s age is 16

The bending's are based on real world martial arts.
The Bending List is in Avatar cycle order.
Fire bending is based on Northern Shaolin. Fire Nation culture largely draws from Imperial Japan, as per behind the scenes interviews on the originally released dvds.
Air bending is based on Circle motions of Baguazhang. Air Nomad culture is based on Tibet, as per behind the scenes interviews on the originally released dvds.
Water bending is based on Tai Chi. The Water tribes are based on Inuit culture, as per behind the scenes interviews on the originally released dvds.
Earth bending is based on the martial art of Hung Gar.
The Earth Kingdom is largely based on Chinese culture, as per behind the scenes interviews on the originally released dvds.
All music in this show is original, and was created for this show.
The soundtrack is beautiful, incredible and perfectly suited to the show..
The Arrow tattoo's on Aang's head, arms, legs, and back are the proof of fact markings, on his body, which directly indicate that he has reached and obtained / is the full rank of an Airbending Master.
Appa's arrow is just Appa’s fur pattern.
Most creatures in this world are made up of 2 or more animals from our world.
Appa is a combination of both a bison and manatee.
“…Power in fire-bending comes from the breath. Not the Muscles. The breath becomes energy in the body. The breath energy then extends past the limbs and becomes fire. …” [Uncle Iroh episode 1 Avatar the Last Airbender]
Fire Benders create fire by igniting their own breath energy as it extends past their limbs. Focused breath energy enables the fire bender to control the created fire. Unfocused fire creation is dangerous, wild, and destructive.
This is an American cartoon, which originally aired on Nickelodeon beginning in 2005, so approximately 19 years ago on February 22nd 2005. (Netflix launched the live action version on February 22nd 2024 in honor of its 19th year anniversary. which covers season 1 and some scenes from Season 2 Episode 2. I think they swapped Season 1 Ep 6, into season 2 of the live action, while moving season 2 Episode 2 into season 1 of the live action to keep the Omashu events together, and keep Season 2 of the Live action Earth-bending focused.)
Avatar the last Airbender is not an anime. English is the original audio, and the creators are Americans. This show is NOT dubbed at all. Season 1 has 20 episodes originally aired in 2005-2006; Season 2 is also 20 episodes and aired from 2006-2007; Season 3 has 21 episodes and aired from 2007-2008.
When watching on Netflix, all the multi-part episodes tend to be combined, so you will see a different episode count. The finale is 4 episodes (I.e. episodes 58-61; aka season 3 episodes 18-21)which all aired as a single 93 minute movie, in primetime, in 2008. It was a HUGE event on Nickelodeon. Still one of their highest watched airings ever!
Nothing, is superlative in this show. The amount of tie ins, call backs, and fore shadowing, which occurs is astounding. Every time you watch this show, you the viewer, will see more connections, more fore shadowing and nuance. This show is amazing to the 9th degree, in that way. Enjoy the journey. No filler in this show.
Only episode 11, the least liked episode of the series could possibly be considered filler, but even this episode gets a call back in episode 57 (I.e. Season 3 episode 17). Episode 11 is disliked because it was the episode, after its original airing, which aired whenever, and I mean whenever, there was no new episode for a given week. Fans all excited for a new Episode tune in and groan, grumble, grumble, it is episode 11, again, and again, and again, ad infinitum!!! It was as if Nickelodeon was playing a Groundhog Day movie joke on Avatar the Last Airbender Fans. Episode 11 is fine on first viewing, or on a full rewatch of the series. It is the most stand alone episode of the series, but the fact that it was ALWAYS the episode aired, when there was no new episode for a given week, caused fans to see it as the worst episode of the series, and dislike it because of how often it was aired and used by Nickelodeon.
Part of the major excitement for Episode 12, was IT was episode 12! Finally!!! Also Episode 12 is one of the best episodes of season 1, and in the top 10, for me, of the whole show. I can not express how happy and blown away by Episode 12, all the fans were, when it finally, aired originally. Some of that was Hooray!, We finally are getting a new episode, continuing the story, and part was Episode 12 itself in its own amazing way. Enjoy the ride. This show is fantastic.
Stop calling out episodes! Just let him discover it naturally! Geez you people.
I really like the information you add but you really should not add information about upcoming episodes because they can be spoilers.
