So a lot of people have created a theory regarding the Painted Lady. They believe that the pollution was actually preventing her from appearing at all. After Katara helped the village clean the river she was able to appear once more. That is why she personally thanked Katara. Not only helping the village but cleaning the river
Nickelodeon originally wanted Aang to have armor and stuff so they could sell toys. Writers said no and the little bit with him in the crazy getup was them mocking the idea.
The thing, imo, about Sokka saying he's useless is, he's not. He's always been the squad's tactician. The first example that comes to mind is how he was the one who figured out how to take down the Drill in Ba Sing Se. He figured out when to invade the Fire Nation. A lot of breakthroughs the group has when faced with an obstacle come from him. All in all, I don't think the point of his training was to turn him into a master swordsman overnight; notice how Piandao complimented him on how he fought smart, because he was clearly outmatched when it came to sword-fighting ability. The point was to make him understand that his greatest strength was having a good head on his shoulders
One thing we all forget is that Sokka knows how to fight-maybe not great-but would likely be competent with a sword, even if the boomerang was his preferred/favorite weapon.
24:45 "that is the wrong type of show for that!" - exactly! 🙂 Nickelodeon urged the Avatar creators that Aang should wear such an armor (probably to sell more toys). That scene is the Avatar creator telling Nickelodeon what they think of that idea... 😁😁 27:48 "I didn't think it's gonna be that easy!" - the master probably has heard lots of "I'm the best warriors in my village" types (that was season 1 Sokka) but no one who is humble enough to admit that they have a lot to learn. That's what impressed him. Season 1 Sokka, who introduced himself to the Kyoshi warriors as the best warrior in his village, would've been sent away immediately. That shows how far Sokka has come since season 1. 30:27 "That's gonna make you stronger?" - I guess a swordmaster should observe his surroundings and the positions of his opponents in an instant and then remember it all during the fight when there's no time to constantly look around.
Sokka says he's sorry to Piandao for lying about being from the Fire Nation. And Piandao responds by saying "Me too" I always wondered if he is referring to the sword not belonging to one nation. And Piandao was sorry that Sokka felt that way.
Sokka was already a competent warrior, not a master of course. But the sword master was teaching him that using your mind and being smart is what makes a good warrior into a master while also refining his sword technique. He didn’t become a master in a day. The teacher just showed him that he needed to use all his skills when fighting to truly be great.
I dont think you really understood the second episode. It wasn't about strength training, it was about using your mind creatively and being able to take things in instantly.
16:15 That's what I thought at first, then I noticed that it is part of The Painted Lady's costume, you can see it really does nothing for Katara and that The Painted Lady is wearing it in the little figure Shoe/Dock/Bushi shows to the gaang

Idk if anyome else mentioned this sokkas sword master is also the man zuko trained with to get better at sword fighting
Another reference to the White Lotus? Surely that doesn't mean anything....:)
