Nickelodean's "Avatar: The Last Airbender" Discusion

[Shambler]

No new episode yet.


I'm sure this counts as spam but ARGAGAGRAGAGAGAGAGHHHHHHHHHH!!!111!!! :mad:mad:mad:mad:mad:mad:mad

[Ema Skye]

lol Hawky is the next Mr. Muggles.

Lol thats true :lmao

[plox]

so was there a new episode??

[Mider T]

Why should we even answer? Since you obviously don't read the thread before asking questions.

[Graham Aker]

No new episode until AprilFoolshah!. :del

I thought to myself "LOLZ interwebz":LOS
Lawl, that's exactly what I thought of as well. :lmao

[plox]

Why should we even answer? Since you obviously don't read the thread before asking questions.

maybe cause i dont wanna read the thread

[Mider T]

:facepalm Then you'll never know an answer to your question, thus this whole thing=spam. Spam=cry for attention. And we all know that cry for attention=rape at home. But this is the interwebz, where we laugh not cry. So why don't you just scat? Go on. 'the fuck off my court.

[Talone]

Does he really? There doesn't seem to be any indication that he even remember he has a messenger hawk. Just like his swordsmanship. :pek

But he DOES remember that he has a sword made from meteorite rock!

....at least, I think so.

[Mider T]

Come on, you know when Nick gives someone a sword they're not actually gonna use it. Because slicing is a no no for today's young minds.

[kamikazi]

he'll use it, he'll just never actually cut anyone with it :sag

[Misha-San]

*sighs* I knew not to get my hope up when I knew it wasnt going to air.

[Mider T]

Stop getting your hopes up then. Put yourself in a comatose and wade out the years, as your friends and family forget about you and die. So you'll be all alone.

[ReikaiDemon]

Does he really? There doesn't seem to be any indication that he even remember he has a messenger hawk. Just like his swordsmanship. :pek
I know there's a tvtrope about that somewhere. Seriously, it's like Dungeons and Dragons cartoon back then, all of the main characters were all designed WITHOUT a sword, only the bad guys or temporary characters used a sword, and the good guys who did, didn't even have to touch anyone with it to kick their ass. I bet if the Standards and Practices were more lenient, Sokka would be making deli meat out of everyone, albeit, it might be offscreen most, if not all the time. Still, they could at least throw in some weapon on weapon battles, and he could show his prowess disarming the baddies spectacularly. And I'm reminded of that other fact that Sokka learned a soft style hand to hand technique from Suki, we haven't seen him use it since. I guess Sokka just isn't meant to be the Badass Normal (http://www.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BadassNormal)?

Oh yeah, and fuck Nickelodean, those executive bastards. I bet the show gets better treatment in some alternate universes where Warner Brothers or something helps produce it. I wouldn't be surprised if Nick DID cancel Avatar. They'll probably do some stupid shit like replace it with a Spongebob with powers set in some Asiatic continuity. They fucking love Spongebob......GRRRRR.

[Mullet_Power]

I don't know they have been pushing the limit of what you can show in a children's show, with Blood Bending and the nightmare Aang had that showed the characters dying. So though i don't expect a bleach level of blood spill, or any blood spill, I could see Sokka using his sword to cut or perhaps kill someone in very dramatic but non graphic way.

[Perfect Moron]

I guess Sokka just isn't meant to be the Badass Normal (http://www.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BadassNormal)?
Give it up, those names will never catch on.

[JB the Jedi]

he'll use it, he'll just never actually cut anyone with it :sag

if not cut people wtf is he gonna do with it. Cut down bushes to make a path for the gang?

If there's no slicing I don't see the point for the sword.

[Dragonus Nesha]

if not cut people wtf is he gonna do with it. Cut down bushes to make a path for the gang?

If there's no slicing I don't see the point for the sword.When storming the Fire Nation, Sokka used his sword to slice Fire Nation weapons and gesture for a charge. :zaru

[kamikazi]

if not cut people wtf is he gonna do with it. Cut down bushes to make a path for the gang?

If there's no slicing I don't see the point for the sword.i could see him using it in battle and using it to disarm people but i doubt he's gonna actual kill anyone with it or use it to deal any real damage (atleast not on screen).

and when you're dealing with people who shoot fire from their fists a sword isn't the best weapon to use anyway :lmao

[The_X_box_360]

Come on Nick. Time to air a new episode. :pek

[Hakke360]

so not even in canada or England they'll give new episode ahead of Nick. At one time they did.

[Muk]

this is just like during the second season ... there was this erm huge break between that "movie" that nick aired which were the library episode and afterwards until the end of the season

really pisses me off

nick sucks

[Sunuvmann]

Griping about Nick amounts to spam.

Please refrain from doing so. If all you are going to do is bitch and moan, then don't post. If you have an actual legitimate discussion topic or news, please go ahead and post it.

But otherwise, kindly shut the fuck up :)

[@lk3mizt]

lol.

hey sunuvaman, do you have the links for the latest episode? i still haven't seen it!

[Sunuvmann]

313 is the newest.

Just wound up viewing S2 and managed to squeeze in the first ep of S3. Toph is easily my favourite character; Zuko's little happy stint at the end of S2 was plain frustrating - his relationship with Iroh was one of the character's strong points and I felt not having that contrast in personalities took away from Zuko's character. Also, his reversion back to his S1 persona at the start of S3 has just turned him into a completely unlikeable character now. I hope he redeems himself over S3.

Toph's use of earthbending is by far the most creative of any bender in the series, whether it be using her earthbending focus to hear a heartbeat, to being the first to be shown to bend metal (although I believe that Bumi is privy to the same knowledge). There are times when I think that Toph would be a more believable avatar than Aang.

Also Aang with hair is retarded.

What is the release schedule like for S3?

[Robotkiller]

^
We got thirteen episodes into season three before Nick put us on the waiting list. We're looking at roughly three or so months until new episodes at this point if popular rumors are any indication.

[/root]

That's a bit gay.

Perhaps there are renewal talks following the end of Book 3, and the writers are waiting to see whether or not to wind the series up for good or whether they will continue following Ozai's defeat, which I'm guessing is likely at the end of this season.

[Stallyns808]

^It would be cool to see the show continued after Book 3, but I doubt they will do it. This is Nickelodeon after all. They've fucked over so many of their great shows.

[kakoishii]

aint that the truth so of my favorites such as Hey Arnold and Angry Beavers recieved premature ends due to negotiation conflicts between nick and the creators, honestly Hey Arnold was meant to have a third movie that would've cleared up the mystery behind Arnold's missing parents and his last name, but no nick screwed that over big time, now we're stuck with sponge bob 24/7. To be honest I really think Avatar's creators should remove themselves from that network before it's too late for a show like Avatar the outlook looks bad the longer they're with nick, just look at the crappy treatment their currently recieving. Though CN isn't the best of alternatives at least they would get airtime by way of reruns there.

[Gamble]

Toph is easily my favourite character

There are times when I think that Toph would be a more believable avatar than Aang.

Also Aang with hair is retarded.


This, tenfold.

Toph's take on Earthbending definitely makes her one of the more interesting characters in the show, that and the entire episode where Toph is first introduced made me weep many tears of joy. :gar

[Sunuvmann]

Toph is easily my most favorite of the characters. Her introduction episode was actually the first episode I saw.

I never fangasmed more in the series then when she first did metal bending.

I liek Aang with hair and headband. It looks pretty cool. I have to admit, to an extent I was kinda disappointed when he shaved it.

[Dragonus Nesha]

In Avatar-verse time, how much time has elapsed since the first episode?

[Graham Aker]

I support Stallyns theme, TophXZuko FTW!!! :yell

[Stallyns808]

LOL I see them more as sibings. Zuko needs a better little sister than that evil bitch Azula, a hot evil bitch but an evil bitch nonetheless. Which is what I'm hoping to see happen in the upcoming episodes. Zuko & Toph interaction will be godly. :wtf

Book four will be "The New Adventures of The Blue Spirit & The Blind Bandit" :zaru

[Cindy]

I agree with this. I'd absolutely love to see more Zuko and Toph develop a better sibling-like relationship than with the one Zuko has with Azula.

Honestly, any interaction between those two is what I've been waiting for since Toph's first (non-cameo) appearance. =D

[Talone]

^It would be cool to see the show continued after Book 3, but I doubt they will do it. This is Nickelodeon after all. They've fucked over so many of their great shows.

They have DEFINITELY not fucked over as many great shows as Fox.

Would you rather them drag out the story past its limits and destroy it like so many other brilliant television series have done in the past? I think the fact that it ends like it does makes viewers appreciate it more. And having around 60 some GREAT episodes is better than having several additional seasons of progressively mediocre content.

You want to tell me a good way to extend Avatar: TLA after the Fire Lord is defeated and peace is returned to the world?

The show IS continued after Book 3, but Aang's saga ends there. A new story comes afterwards. The Last Airbender Saga should leave as it is: at the top of its game. I'm definitely looking forward to the rest of Season 3.

[Stallyns808]

Thing is I wasn't talking about Fox, nor do I give a shit about that channel. I was only talking about how Nick had their best shows screwed over like Hey Arnold, Angry Beavers, etc. in the past and more recently shows like Danny Phantom and Invader Zim. Those were all great shows and they got fucked over. :cry A lot oof people in this thread would agree since it's already been discussed about before in here.

I already know that the third books is the end Aang and Zuko's story as it's been stated many times before. They can always just introduce new characters, or go into the past or the future to tell another story. Or they could continue stuff with the old crew in comic book form. The possibilities are endless. Heck they could even do a movie sequel, they are already doing a live-action movie version of Avatar.

[Sunuvmann]

In Avatar-verse time, how much time has elapsed since the first episode?
Sozen's comet is supposed to come at 'summer's end'

So lets suppose the series started Jan 1st. It probably didn't. I'd estimate they probably left about a month before the Sozen comet for him to learn fire bending. So I'd say maximum of 8 months have passed, minimum of two (if it began at the start of summer)

[Mider T]

I say the story started in late fall, I think the gang met Toph when spring was beginning

Season 1: Late fall, most of winter

Season 2: End of winter, beginning to middle of spring

Season 3: Middle of Spring till summer


I'd figure it to be somewhere around late April/early May, considering they use our calender.

[Banhammer]

A good time to extend it is to do the same tope as all the other shows
In the fourth-sixth season (air, light, shadow) they are going to have to fight a new enemie, a comon enemie, imagine something like shadowbenders that is invading the world from the spirit realm


ONLY A FEW MORE HOURS OR THE NEXT EPPIE

YES, PRAISE KUNG ACTION JHEEEZUZ
CAN I GET AN AMHEEEN?!:shakefist

[Roy Mustang]

Im about to find out if new ep comes out :del

edit: shit a half an hour left, fuckin naruto :-(

Eehh don't get your hopes up, just saying we should use the last couple of fridays as an example.

I agree with this. The first few episodes, when Jet comes strolling in, definitely gave you the vibe that autumn was near.

[Sunuvmann]

Its really hard to tell and judge by seasons though considering they are going all over the world. Remember, fall in northern hemisphere is spring in southern.

That could just as easily have been March or April and in the Southern Hemisphere.

[kakoishii]

^perhaps, but is shouldn't be overly difficult to figure out the times line for the first episode till now since all the events that have happened so far had to take place before the comet that's coming in the summer.

[Gamble]

Well the fact that they wound up at the North Pole at the end of season 1 was my grounds for assuming that they were indeed in the northern hemisphere. However, the beginning of season 1 they were in the south pole..which I completely forgot about until now. :lmao Didn't the winter solstice occur during season 1 though?

Yup, that happened during episodes 107 & 108; The Spirit World (Winter Solstice, Part 1) & Avatar Roku (Winter Solstice, Part 2).

Well in that sense, they were at the north pole at that time. But there was sunlight at the north pole for at least half the day. Thus we can assume it wasn't winter in the northern hemisphere or else there would be little if any hours for them to have their siege.

However we can tell from geography of the world the fire nation appears around the equator...though sometimes it appears in the Southern Hemisphere >.>

Argh so confusing. >_<

[Gamble]

'tis confusing :shifty

[infinite]

Agreed, I think it's sort of impossible to tell, and I must admit I don't really care either. it's just such a good show :amuse

[Mider T]

Well a person that doesn't care about information is bound to be an idiot. Personally I don't think Aang killing Ozai will be the last scene of the show, rather him and Katara starting their new life travelling and rebuilding the world.

dont they know that these delays are killing the market?

[Trias]

Killing the market? Well, we're waiting still, even though our asses are dropping out... Other fans should be waiting as well.

I've giving up on them showing it any time this month or even next month. April seems far away....

[Stallyns808]

But you can /wrists right now if you want. :P

[Linkdarkside]

so any one knows wend episode 13 gonna air?

[Stallyns808]

Episode 313 aired already. We're waiting for episode 314+, which probably won't start airing 'til April.

Interesting discussion I had with someone last night after watching from the Bloodbending to the Black Sun eps and raging about Sokka not stabbing Azula in the face, the total plot-no-jutsu nature of waterbending, and celebrating Toph, earthbending, and Zuko basically winning Book 3 with his confrontation against Ozai. But I digress.

Now, in the Book 3 episode where Aang goes on a journey through Roku's life, and Zuko is reading the journals, I took note that Roku's death was almost instantly parallel to Aang's birth, leading me to believe that a new avatar is born the moment the current avatar dies.

Now, I know that the word is that Book 4 will not be about the same characters, but I considered; is it possible, since Aang has actually died, that following the defeat of Ozai we could be looking at a possible storyline with two avatars?

I had that same thought. It made me think of Buffy the Vampire Slayer in which Buffy temporarily died, and another slayer showed up, who was then killed giving rise to Faith. But then, I wondered whether or not the Avatar cycle had ended since he had just gone into the Avatar State. Is it then, still a possibility that another Avatar from the Water tribe was born? Is there some kind of cosmic loophole in which the Avatar must be completely in the Avatar state for the cycle to be broken?
Guess we'll find out in a few months...

Oh, and I agree on the Zuko bit. I actually clapped then, and squeed a bit.

[Chatulio]

Now, I know that the word is that Book 4 will not be about the same characters, but I considered; is it possible, since Aang has actually died, that following the defeat of Ozai we could be looking at a possible storyline with two avatars?

Maybe not a new born Avatar but maybe an evil spirit who took advantage of the fact that Aang died to claim the avatar state.

Well in my idle mind a storyline came to me in the avatarverse. It is largely based on the statement during the finale of season 2 of that there is fundamentally no difference with the elements. Thus the idea was that anyone can wield all 4 elements. And anyone who can learn to do so gains immortality. And the first avatar was the first person to do so and all the other avatars are able to learn the 4 elemental wielding much easier then anyone else because they've done it so many times making it look much easier. So my idea is another character who strives to become a new avatar and has already mastered an element or two and he's trying to master all 4 so his spirit becomes immortal and he can begin the avatar cycle for himself.

[Seto Kaiba]

Such a person would make an interesting villain do you agree? Or is that to Shaman King-ish? Probably be a good way to extend the series a little.

[Sunuvmann]

Such a person would make an interesting villain do you agree? Or is that to Shaman King-ish? Probably be a good way to extend the series a little.
Aye. And it would make a helluva fight, if both had mastery of all elements. And the new avatar was trying to force Aang into the avatar state so he could kill him and become the true new avatar.

Yeah but an Avatar is the incarnation of a divine being or deity. No one anyone can strive to become a new Avatar. It isn't an achievement that someone can make. The reason that Aang and others before him can wield 4 elements is because he's the human vessel for the Spirit of the Earth. The world wouldn't want itself to implode because of some people who can't handle the awesome responsibility of manipulating elements so therefore the Avatar must keep the balance. What we don't have is backstory on why the planet decided to implant it's spirit into humans but we accept what we do know.

Not necessarily.

The avatar is not the god of such Hindu stories. He isn't Vishnu. Rather in this mythos, he is seen as the bridge between the human and the spirit world, a human who is of the spirit world for he transcends the flesh and his spirit is forever bound to this world...unless he dies in the avatar state, killing the entire lineage of avatars. While he may draw his power from the spirit world and the cosmos, that which he is drawing is fundamentally human, it is the sum of the experiences of infinitesimal lives.

To think that some person could be able to break into the realm of the spirit and become a human with an immortal spirit doesn't seem that far fetched in this series. There has to have been an original avatar and since all further incarnations were human, logically this was a human who entered that realm and was rewarded.

[UltimateDeadpool]

I've heard before that Aang is the spirit of the Earth.

[Mider T]

You need a Q-tip.

[Roy Mustang]

Damn it, stupid YTV reruns :mad
I've heard before that Aang is the spirit of the Earth.
lol, just lol

[Sunuvmann]

I've heard before that Aang is the spirit of the Earth.
Lol. No. All that has been said on the matter is he's the link between the real and the spirit words. He isn't the spirit of Earth.

[Superstarseven]

Lol. No. All that has been said on the matter is he's the link between the real and the spirit words. He isn't the spirit of Earth.

Well...it's not a hilarious a notion as you believe it to be. Aang being the incarnation of the spirit of the planet isn't something brand new. He's much more than just the bridge between the Spirit and Human world. Yes he serves that function but really it just takes the place of the fifth element seeing as how the show uses the Greek or Hindu classical element system
The Hindu/Buddhist system is this:
Prithvi / Bhumi — Earth
Ap / Jala — Water
Vayu / Pavan — Air / Wind
Agni / Tejas — Fire
Akasha — Aether

The spirit world takes the place of Aether.
Anyway the idea of Aang being the spirit of the earth comes from Nick itself which I imagine wouldn't take liberties with Mike and Bryan's vision and pass it off as canon...that's what the trading cards are for. Malu The Ghost Witch anyone?
Here's the archived info that used to be on Nick.com
http://www.avatarspiritmedia.net/thelegend.php

If Mike and Bryan speak out against this at any point after the series is over, I'll continue then to believe what has already been written about the Avatar's history.

[Spidey]

hmm, I see to remember them saying something about him being the spirit of the earth in the official guidebook or something.

[Emery]

Is there a new episode tonight?

[plox]

no theree is no new episode

[Nizuma Eiji]

Lol. No. All that has been said on the matter is he's the link between the real and the spirit words. He isn't the spirit of Earth.

Ummm yea i've heard the thing about the Avatar being the spirit of the earth as well.

[Nizuma Eiji]

No i take back what i said, Aang IS without a doubt the spirit of the earth manifested in human. Avatarspirit has it in their overview of the show, & next to nick they're the most reliable website since they're in contact with the series creators. Here's a link. http://www.avatarspiritmedia.net/thelegend.php

EDIT: I see Steven's beaten me to it. Also in retrospect i probably should've just edited my 1st post. Can somebody merge my posts???

[Sunuvmann]

Hmph. I still say that rather bullshit that if killed in the avatar state that makes him forever dead and him being the spirit of the world. These ideas can't coexist. The only thing that could resolve that discrepancy is he doesn't really die but just is no longer reincarnated and remains bound to the World. However one would think that someone could then reestablish that connection.

Well look at it this way, we can probably assume that if he is killed in the Avatar State, the world looses it's "life." Life in the sense that nothing that draws power from the earth will die out. I mean look what happened when the moon spirit was killed. The moon suddenly disappeared. Maybe the same will happen to the Avatar.

[Wuzzman]

Hmph. I still say that rather bullshit that if killed in the avatar state that makes him forever dead and him being the spirit of the world. These ideas can't coexist. The only thing that could resolve that discrepancy is he doesn't really die but just is no longer reincarnated and remains bound to the World. However one would think that someone could then reestablish that connection.

is a fictional world loosely based on other pieces of fiction....your lucky they haven't started to pull the real illogical shit out their ass.

Actually Sunuvmann, you might not be too far off with the latter assumption. Perhaps it isn't a discrepancy at all. Let's see what Roku has to say on the matter:

Roku: If you are killed in the Avatar state, the reincarnation cycle will be broken and the Avatar will cease to exist.


Alright then so the human vessel for the Spirit of the Planet will cease to exist, we can assume that the spirit itself will live on. Otherwise Earth would crumble and everything on it would die off immediately. Although now the nations would have to defend themselves seeing as there would be no more divine medium.

[The Question]

^I've been wondering if the Avatar cycle could possibly start over, if it is the spirit of the earth. It's just that there would be no past lives. Whoever the first 'new' Avatar would be probably would have no idea who he/she was, since no one may even be looking for a new Avatar to appear.

Well no, I think it more on the order of Bending ceasing. Bending itself seems like a spiritual power, to have mastery over elements. So if the link of the spirit and real world is cut, then bending seems likely to cease.

Well I think it less likely the Earth spirit just doting on the world with a new vessel, rather I prefer the idea of reward that if someone who is able to master all 4 elements is a worthy vessel. However that would pretty much invalidate my previous statement :sag

[Tenrow]

Well no, I think it more on the order of Bending ceasing. Bending itself seems like a spiritual power, to have mastery over elements. So if the link of the spirit and real world is cut, then bending seems likely to cease.

Not necessarily, bending in this world seems to tie into spiritualism, but if we go by what the story tells us thus far, the humans in this world were taught by the embodiments of each respected elements.

Dragons>Fire
Air Bison>Air
Badger Moles>Earth
Moon>Water

I think if those were taken away from the world, then bending or at least their sources would cease to be.

Although it seems to be a theory, I would like to say that maybe that being killed in the Avatar State isn't exactly like the earth was killed per say. I mean according to Roku what the avatar state is, is basically a state of mind body and spirit collectively gathering every experience of every Avatar that has come before it. Since it's been established that time is an illusion... maybe the reason why dying in the Avatar State causes the chain to break is because dying in that state would mean that the Avatar Spirit itself has "died"

When your not in the Avatar state, you may not actually be the Avatar. I mean during the Lost in the Spirit World segments, we found that the other Avatars were actual people, each different. So it could be that maybe being reincarnated as the avatar doesn't necessarily mean that as a whole your are the Avatar.

It's sort of confusing for me to say, but basically we shouldn't think of Aang as the Avatar, but as Aang. Just like we can't think of Roku as the Avatar either. I mean each of the other Avatars probably did have lives. I mean we know that the last 4 Avatars before Aang did have lives and each established individuality.

Roku>A fire nation citizen who the best friend to Fire Lord Sozin. Tried his best to keep the balance between the 4 nations, but failed. Got married to who eventually became Zuko great-grandmother

Kiyoshi>An Earth Kingdom village leader who cared deeply about her homeland as well as the Earth Kingdom as a whole. Although acting on selfless reasons, she established the Dai Li to compromise with the Earth King to establish a voice for the lower class and ended up isolating her home and people from the rest of the nation.

Kuruk>A bombastic Northern Water Tribesman who had great pride in his skills. He was aggressive and often pushed his skills to his limits and liked showing off. He got married, but Koh the Face Stealer stole his wife's face.

The reason why you have to open all the chakras to be able to control the Avatar is because you are purifying the body, according to Guru Pathik. That state of purification is supposed to make the Avatar enlightened in every aspect, and that in this state of enlightenment, you can truly control every spirit that makes up the Avatar.

I mean even Avatar Yungchen states that the Avatar is reincarnated as a human to understand what it means to be human. In that sense wouldn't it mean that the Spirit of the Earth itself is an observer living within different individuals?

[Dynamic Dragon]

lol i dont think moon was the water's source of bending 8S...

because the sun wasnt the fire's source... or the comet. Those are just the things that amplifies their power...

its probobly that sea serpent or something... or even the penguins lol...

Actually it is. It's been specifically stated that it is the source of waterbending. When the moon was removed the waterbenders lost their bending abilities meaning that the moon itself is the source. I mean if it was the case of amplification then wouldn't that mean that even if the moon wasn't there, they would still be able to bend?

I mean they even state "The legends say the moon was the first Waterbender. Our ancestors saw how it pushed and pulled the tides and learned how to do it themselves... Our strength comes from the Spirit of the Moon, our life comes from the Spirit of the Ocean. They work together to keep balance."

[Muk]

where did you find out about all the other avatars' past? they didn't show much background story in the serie itself

got a link?

there's some stuff about the past avatars in a lil mini comic series called "Avatar: Escape From the Spirit World". dunno if you know about it.

[Superstarseven]

It's in the game and was confirmed by creators as being canon.

(They just confirm anything nowadays huh? Games, books, snacks....)

Mider T is talking about the Escape From The Spirit World online comics that were released last year. They take place right after the defeat at Ba Sing Se and deals with Aang in the Spirit World. You can find it here.
http://www.nick.com/avatarescape/index.jhtml

You can bypass all of that other stuff and just watch the comics on Youtube.
Here they are in order -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPV7B0BGWD0

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvQymfC2HIM
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_1VHrjK51k

They deal with the previous Avatars Roku, Kyoshi, Kuruk and Yangchen.
By the way the only things that are confirmed as canon is all of the background info on Nick.com, the online comics and the comics that came in the all-Avatar edition of Nick Magazine. The video games and trading card game are not canon. The snacks are just delicious treats.

I kid you not, that's the title. I guess Toph and Zuko build an Impala and hustle Pai Sho on the beach, stopping only to breakdance on the hood.

A Grey Delisle interview from a few weeks ago reveals at least part of the episode:

If you were given a choice to voice any Avatar character, who would you voice over?

Answer: Katara. I actually got to play an actress portraying her in an upcoming episode. I cried a lot. It was fun!

What was that middle bit about? It did not compute.

Basically, it was about how Azula's VO indirectly revealed the purpose of this episode. Not too long ago, Grey Delisle was interviewed by some website, and this was one of the questions:

Q: If you were given a choice to voice any Avatar character, who would you voice over?

A: katara. i actually got to play an actress portraying her in an upcoming episode. i cried a lot. it was fun!


The full interview is here: http://www.freewebs.com/harlequinade/greydelisleinterview.htm

She did not clarify whether she was providing additional voicework as an actress character, or if Azula herself was the actress. I'm hoping for the latter.

Either way, that quote is enough to say that 317's A-story will almost certainly involve a play of some sort, most likely a sort of savage burlesque about the Gaang, by a troupe named "The Ember Island Players."

Azula is probably my favorite villain since Megatron (old transformers not that new crap) she is just so evil. I just love how she doesn't have the weaknesses that most villains in fiction have.

A good example of one is how she didn't just watch when Aang was powering up in the season 2 finale. Most villains would be like "OMG what is with all this power, what will I do!" then they let the main character powerup. She is like "Fuck that" *lightning bolt* :rofl

Heh, the females in Avatar are even superior to the ones in Naruto and Bleach. The ones in Naruto are useless and nothing more than cheerleaders. And the ones in Bleach are there just for eye candy and have become nothing more than damsels in distress.

Anyone else hoping for another appearance of King Bumi before the series' end?

Yeah I agree, Jun is a hottie. I was hoping for her return as well, but it doesn't look like they will bring her back. And agreed about Toph

I think Bumi will reappear in the show. They should've broken him out of his prison and gotten him to join in during the eclipse. Maybe he will appear in the final battle along with Paku and Jeong Jeong.

[The Question]

Bumi and Iroh will join forces at some pont to bring pwnage to the land while sipping on some ginseng tea.

Then they will be joined by Toph and Zuko for even more awesome.

Well, that's what should happen anyway.

[Taurus Versant]

I find it hard to imagine anything that could handle that level of win. I mean, my computer screen would just implode from Bumi and Iroh so close. And if you added Toph to the mix? Sheesh.

who's Jun?

I don't remember her character ... anyone got a pic? or link?

and avatar is far better then naruto in so many ways. character development and story are far superior to that of naruto or bleach. its more consistent then what ever naruto or bleach is spitting out.

[Naruto Uzumaki]

[Mider T]

When it does, now go search if you want the answer that badly.

[Muk]

[Naruto Uzumaki]

Well you don't have to be a dick about it you if i would have asked who want to get they ass flamed you won't be so motherfuckin smart would you

[Sunuvmann]

Jun was the one who rode the giant lizard who saw by smell.


Please don't flame those who ask about new episodes. Perhaps we should make an FAQ post and have that merged with the first post as we did in the Heroes thread so we don't have problems like this.

[arcanecapricorn]

Be patient.

No episodes since 13. Probably won't be until April apparently.

Iroh's VA died at the end of season 2. They had a new one for the speaking roles he had in season 3. There is a slight difference in voices so thats why his role has been kept to largely non-speaking in season 3.

There have been rumors of that. Its up in the air and there has been no confirmation.

Nothing really.

[Sylar]

If new eps HAD come out...

WOULDN'T SOMEONE HAVE MENTIONED IT?

Common sense is a long forgotten art...

Haha funny :laugh
Both of those series can get pretty damn boring ya know. IMO i think Avatar is much better since the story moves forward at a good pace, the series isnt running on forever & the animation is magic.

It was actually pretty bad until season 3, save for a few moments in season 2 (Toph's intro..finale)

Even still, I find the framerate to be..lacking. It doesn't take away any from the show, it's just not particularly "magical," as you put it.

Is that what you're going with? Framerate, really? I guess that's nebulous enough that you might get away with it. It's just technical-sounding enough to obfuscate anything having to do with the immaculate, often majestic backgrounds, bursting with detail; the appealing color scheme; the assiduousness of the animators, drawing careful movement to nearly all background characters; the perfectly rendered bending movements; and the supurb direction, with excellent framing and sequencing, which only began to falter after Book 2.

I really don't think the framerate is an issue, besides the fist couple of episodes. You weren't talking about the video game, were you?

[RAGING BONER]

z0mgbbq are thar new episoads yet :argh

Not to mention that framerate = money. And as a show marketed for kids, of course they're not gonna put a ton of money into the animation to make it look smoother.

I think it's great, myself. Better than any shit animation we get on Naruto, when you can tell which team drew what episode. For what the show is, the animation is impressive, and they don't cut corners.

[Seto Kaiba]

You know the aggravating thing is, that Nick has all the episodes for Season 3, but for some reason they've been holding them back for so long...

... which means more Spongebob reruns...

Nah, I'm pretty sure the lack of Iroh is a coincidence not a compensation. I would imagine they had most of the script for season 3 done prior to Mako's death, so it would be highly unlikely that they would go back and write around him due to his VA. Besides they already have a new voice for Iroh, so to say that they haven't written him in for the reason of a voice change is sort of ridiculous.

You're completely right. They said as much on one of the DVD commentaries.

^LOL I saw a pic similar to that on Deviantart. It had Itachi and Azula getting married and Sasuke and Zuko in the background hiding and probably scheming against the two.

Found the pic right here (http://sractheninja.deviantart.com/art/Itazula-The-Wedding-54637804).

ItachixAzula = Scary as fuck :dupe

[Muk]

itazula is the most perfect villain pair ever

zula just has style

and itachi got style

and it'd be like style squared which would be fantastic

can't get wrong with this pairing

the evil they would bring to the world ...

Hmmm... I would have went with Azuchi.

I like this one because you know Azula would eventually figure out a way to counter the sharingan and control the relationship, and Itachi would always let her think she's in charge, because no matter how many jutsu she finds out about, he'll always have one more haxx stored away (as long as Kishi is writing his half).

[Muk]

Yeah well maybe true ... Azula would try to be the dominante one, she's just the type to dominate

if not with bending than with words,

she's got her ways with words XD and so much better then what kishimoto can come up with

[Mider T]

What are you talking about? Itachi can control that ass with a blink of an eye.....literally. He wants Sexy Time then 3 second/72 hour eye rape!

Don't underestimate Azula. She'd find a way to make Susano'o work for her. In your scenario, she made an Uchiha show interest in a girl; she CAN do the impossible!:nod

[Mider T]

It's only because she perfected the art of run in The Invasion.

[Linkdarkside]

hey havent Nick confirmed the new episodes air dates?

[Taurus Versant]

ItaZula/Azuchi is a force of nature. None could withstand it. EVER.
