Will never understand--to any extent--the constant derrogation of season one, or of episodic or "childish" shows in general. Perhaps its because I was an adult when Last Airbender premiered and so had been raised in an environment when there was no such thing as non-episodic television, and everything followed the, "Arrive at new place, meet new people, solve their problem, continue on your journey," formula.

@@BonzoDrummer I think for for me, it's not anything inherently wrong with Book 1, which I'd say is a solid 7 or 8 out of 10. It's moreso that the second and third seasons are so strong they tend to overshadow it a little bit. "The Storm" is right up there with the best episodes of the series, but the rest of my top 10 would be episodes from Books 2 and 3.

In the lore of bending, there are a lot of similarities between waterbending and airbending, in terms of mindset and "ways of facing the bending" so yeah, it's totally understandable that Aang gets it easier on this one. That also makes the two others totally understandable too. Just like Aang got the whole meditation/spirit thing easily, because he's been taught all his life how to meditate, and even pushed it further when he got his tattoo.

The why you have to go through these episodes to get to the juicy part is actually quite simple in this case. These episodes lay the groundwork for the characters, the world, and the magic system. Every episode establishes something important about one of these elements (with some exceptions). That's why most people will freak if you even suggest skipping episodes; because there are little things that add up later. Establishing these characters as they are, when we do get to the juicy parts, we are with them and understand what this means to them. If they had tried to set up episode 8 where the comet deadline is established in the first episode, we would just say "What are you waiting for Aang? Get to it, what are you complaining about?" Rather than fully appreciating how hard the task will be, what is at stake if they fail (the people we have met along the way), and how great of a burden this is for Aang, who yes is a superpowered being but is also just a child. It's the human factor, not to mention just establishing how this world works. And I know when I say this that everyone is waiting with baited breath for episodes 12 and 13. I stand by my step by step guide. Episode 8 is where the quest is defined Episode 12 is where most people get hooked if they were not already The season 1 finale hooks any stragglers.

Think of it this way: it starts off childish because an 11 year old kid was frozen for about 100 years. When he comes back, he’s still an 11 year old kid who just wants to have fun and shouldn’t have any worries. Problem is he’s the Avatar and the world needs him because of a war. He never wanted to be the Avatar, so he almost tries to suppress it by still being a kid. As more time goes on, he understands the power and responsibility he has

This is one of those series that sneaks up on you. It starts out just fun and a little silly. Then it gets interesting with world building. As the story unfolds, the characters get more depth and the stakes are gradually elevated. The effect is subtle from episode to episode, but before long it's hard not to end up invested in everything happening on the screen. The first season does have the most childish tone. But it also does the most heavy lifting when it comes to introducing us to the setting, the plot and the main characters. When you get to the later seasons, the value of the first one becomes apparent. At least that's my take when I first saw the series.

You called it. There is a lot more to both Zuko and Iroh’s story and much more to come. If my memory serves “The Storm” is a great upcoming episode in Book 1. You guys will definitely enjoy the backstories that one brings to light. Another thing to keep in mind (without spoiling anything in particular) is that if something is mentioned in an episode or seen in the background it most likely has significance later on. It’s just not realized until later so there’s a lot of well planned execution and groundwork in this series. There’s also a fair amount of characters that will show up and then appear later on that might be missed if not paying attention.

This show has a lot to teach. Look for the little lessons in each episode, how there's a darker story in the background of even the lighter episodes. As a show meant for little children, it manages to present awful incidents (genocide, war, racism, prejudice, power corruption, poverty and many more situations that would be considered spoilers) without glorifying them, but it makes them light enough that people can bear to watch them and still get how horrible the situation is.

By Season 3 we were another year older, and that much more prepared to tackle the harsher reality of war and what it can truly bring. That's how I look at it.

I also think that when it comes to children's shows, a lot of people, myself included, enjoy them from an art or creative industry perspective as well. Character design, world-building, animation, art style, story-telling. Many of these elements are why people develop such a connection to children's shows. For example, Tangled the Series and Carmen Sandiego are some of my favorites based on beautiful art style alone.

You've probably been told this, but in case you haven't, Appa and Momo's sounds (and a bunch of minor chacters voices) are done by Dee Bradley Baker, who voices the clones in The Clone Wars

There’s a song that is played at the end of a couple of the episodes that takes me back to when I watched it when it first came out and it hits me in the feels every single time! Usually the more sad ending episodes . Good stuff !

All you need to know is, the ending of book 1 is your first taste of the epic animation and the climax of this chapter (water). And the ending won major awards for the animation and it's absolutely beautiful, you for sure can't do a blanket reaction to the final 5 episodes

Aang picks up waterbending so easily, cause Kitara never actually had a teacher, and Aang has already mastered a complimentary element. It's like a chef who learned on their own, teach someone who studied how to bake pies, to make a cake. Aang already knows the basic principals, whereas Kitara had to figure them out for herself, and is still learning. Can't wait for you to see the final confrontation with one of the series main antagonists, and see how your opinion has changed based off the first 5 episodes. Not bashing you for thinking that way, btw, the series starts out pretty kiddy. But keep in mind it aired in 2005, back when more "mature" western animation was stuff like Family Guy and Simpsons, so it had to ease into the more complex storytelling, otherwise it might have been rejected before getting the fanbase it got.

Just as a suggestion for the future seasons: If you continue doing the 5-episode-structure, you'll eventually run into a little trouble because season 3 has 21 instead of 20 episodes. Episode 10 of season 3 in particular is part one of two episodes, so it probably would do well to do episodes 6-11 in one go. That way, when you head into the final batch of episodes (17-21), you'll have a perfect finishing video, because those episodes are literally the finale. Hope we'll get to see you growing to love this show as much as we do!

10:12 Very cool you picked up on Iroh being the only other person to see the dragon in spirit form! - there's certainly relevance later This show is like Back to the Future in that everything is quite predictable but not in a bad way. They lean into classic story & editing tropes rather than using them to purposely mislead audiences. It's super satisfying because of how well done the execution & pay offs are.

i know its really early to even suggest this but for the last season you guys should group the episodes like 5, 6,6, and then 4. the episode groupings can help with the fact that season 3 has arcs that are "part 1" and "part" 2 so you guys can watch both parts for each video and the last four episodes are one arc that is ideally seen altogether

The first half of season 1 is substantially lighter in tone than the entire rest of the show, so I think if you're already both trending towards liking it more from episodes 6-10 then you're in for a treat.
