Nickelodean's "Avatar: The Last Airbender" Discusion [Archive] - Page 3

well, it could also be another airbender....doesn't aang need a airbending master? I mean I know he's good , but he didn't live long enough to know all the tricks of being a master air bender....then again the show's title wouldn't be correct anymore "avatar, the last airbender" haha.

Well, there's the "the last airbender" part, but there's also that Aang has always been very talented at airbending. He made up more tricks and games than any of his friends from 100 years ago. I mean, he was raised as an airbender from birth, or at least from very, very early in his childhood.

hm? i dont think he has to master an element he already has control over. maybe he could learn newer techniques, but i think he has a good hold on airbending already.

Well, given that Toph is his earthbending teacher and Katara is his waterbending teacher, he's likely good to go as far as airbending is concerned. He did create that air scooter he uses, after all.

*off topicness*
(soka reminds me of shika. thas why i liek him ^_^)
*end off-topicness*

there have been times when aang goes to another dimension thingie to learn new techs, and that prolly happens later so he can master air bending. That or he has to battle for some uber secret scroll. >_>

Well, I was watching an episode of Avatar today -- the one with the storm (Is it called "The Storm"? I don't remember) -- but in Aang's flashback, I noticed that he was the only kid who had the arrow tattoos. Does that imply that he was already deemed a master?

I dunno. I'm just grasping at straws.

But to everyone else, he's still a master, since he's the only one left.

Yeah, you're right, the arrows mean that he's a master... I completely forgot about that.

EDIT: And I think Sokka resembles Shikamaru a little, too.

Sakura Kaijuu

Heh heh. Only not as smart.

Sokka's actually pretty smart, he's just smart in a different way than shikamaru. He's pretty witty as well.

Huh? But haven't people recognized him as an airbender in previous episodes because of the tatoos? I thought they were, like, some symbol of the airbenders. Guess they're not, I'm going to have to go back and re-watch the episode that you're talking about and see...

Hat Hair

06-11-2006, 02:25 PM

Well, they are. The tattoos, among airbenders, denote mastery, so only master airbenders have the tattoo; naturally the tattoo would be attributed to being an airbender, but there's always the possibiliity of meeting airbenders that aren't masters and thus don't have the tattoo.

Avatar is cool. what ever happened to that guy that taught Aang firebending for that short amount of time. He also taught Avatar Roku i think.

Avatar is cool. what ever happened to that guy that taught Aang firebending for that short amount of time. He also taught Avatar Roku i think.

He just disappeared so he wouldn't be captured or die. Other than that we have no idea where he is.

But he couldn't have taught Roku firebending, because he's not that old. I mean, he's kind of old because he was Zhao's teacher, but Roku just came to him in essence to order him to teach Aang firebending.

The only reason the avatar goes to the spirit world is to learn more info/techniques............the only one who can give aang the info he needs is the face stealer so he must confront him

Sakura Kaijuu

06-13-2006, 05:46 PM

No problem, Gangsta :laugh

He still has to kill that face stealer that killed one of his previous incarnations in the spirit world.:nod

Hmmm...Did the face stealer really kill one of the previous avatars? Because didn't we just learn that if the avatar is killed in the avatar state, the line ends? I am confused. Methinks they may have contradicted themselves... :huh

NeoDreamer

06-13-2006, 11:15 PM

NO no no no no no NO!

the face stealer guy wants to kill the avatar i think...cause a former avatar did something to the face stealer....i don't have the ep saved, but I believe that's the case.

i wanna see more of the firebender/avatar that talks to aang, dude is badass.

Hat Hair

06-13-2006, 11:30 PM

Yeah, the face stealer stole the face of one of the previous avatar's loves and unpleasantness (for the face stealer) ensued.

I believe it is. Avatar, Fairly Odd Parents, and Danny Phantom are the only quality cartoons Nick has anymore. They don't show their other good ones anymore. And they keep producing all these crap ones *coughcatscratchandspongebobcough*.

At least it's not in Slimetime anymore. That was just annoying.

*CLOUD*

06-15-2006, 02:03 PM

well the ratings that CN pulls in really killed Nickelodeon :pwned

CN shows good shows only late at night and on Sat..........but still infinately better than Nick.......if it weren't for the loooooooong breaks in between episodes of Avatar then Nick might actually get regular viewers.

Well...it is Nick...And they have been stupid since the middle of the 90's.

You'd figure that they would be plugging avatar every chance that they get, seeing as how well the dvd's sold.

It'd be cooler if it was the 21st, since that's the summer solstice.

And they Clearly meant June here considering the 21 of June is summer solstice......and the 14 of July would be an early release of Avatar if they meant July 21........so before you bash ppl for getting days wrong be sure to read carefully :wink .

but u are correct i did mis interperut the comments..my bad. but as for it being perfect...not really considering it's no where near the summer solistice in the anime...now if it was, that'd b the shit.

Sakura Kaijuu

06-17-2006, 08:39 AM

*shrug* The episodes entitled "The Winter Solstice" didn't premiere around the actual Winter Solstice (at least I don't remember that happening). I just think it'd be neat if they did it that way because those times of year are so important to the setting of the story. :)

NeoDreamer

06-17-2006, 01:22 PM

yeah, but that messes with the scheduling of all their shows I think...and to spread it out like that is a bad idea too....I just wish they would have more eps on teh actual training....they just go over like a day of it and then they are all of a sudden masters...i wanna see the training...or learning of some kool techniques.

Well....You are 19 now. Called growing up.

Though I do admit, back in our day Nick had better shows (the exception being Avatar and Invader Zim).

Hi. I have been watching the show since the beginning. I think Toph is a great new character.

Anyway, I have been searching for some pictures of Toph and so far I havent found any. I decided to get my own. I uploaded about 9 if anyone wants them.

http://www.nimoshi.com/avimg.php

Anyone know of any other sources?

Sakura Kaijuu

07-03-2006, 09:55 PM

Nice! :laugh

You're right. Toph is a pretty cool addition to the cast. I love her to pieces. Now they just need Zuko to realize what his uncle's trying to teach him and become Aang's firebending teacher. XD

Nimoshi

07-04-2006, 01:47 AM

Yeah, Zaku would be a great addition. I have been trying to buy the avatar DVD's. I need to find Naruto ones too. :laugh

I hope what you predict comes true. I also hope that when this 2 part episode Movie thing comes out it works with the plot. Not just go into a little side story like the Avatar Day episode. Although that did go into the history of the Avatar.

I am going to draw the main cast soon. Ill post them up here! :amuse

What day are the new episodes coming out?

Spidey

07-04-2006, 02:13 AM

I think the new episodes start on july 14 or something, but maybe I should check. Also, does anyone know when the boxset of book 1 comes out. That's gonna rock!

Sakura/Nimoshi, no offense, but I don't think Zaku will be teaching anything beyond soundbending, which would more than likely fall under airbending anyway. Now Zuko on the other hand... :P

But, seriously, welcome to the board Nimoshi and thanks for the link (you have excellent taste in characters, btw). Hope to see you around the forums !

Nimoshi

07-04-2006, 06:42 PM

Typo's and misspellings are what forums are all about! I thought?

*Clenches teeth* Tonights 4th of july.

Thanks for the welcome.

Toph is awsome because she is a blind little girl and a bada$$ at the same time. She could be the most powerful one in the group now.

I dont know if Zuko will even last. With all the stuff that has happened to him he might become a suicide case.

Well, I just downloaded episodes 1 - 20, so now I have them all!

I would really like to see the character Jet comeback and his crew. They were only in 1 episode ;_; T_T .

In another, the one in which Zuko frees Aang from that fire nation commander or whoever he is, and around the end Aang tells Zuko that if it was during the time before he was frozen, They could of been friends.

More evidance that Zuko may become Aangs firebending teacher.

What happens after Aang learns all the elements? Will the rest be about him fighting the fire nation? It seems so.

Did anyone else kinda recognize the giant barn owl in the preview? It looked kinda familiar to me, like I've seen it in a previous episode or something...

I think we're all just waiting for it to start so we can either a) bitch about it not living up to our expectations, b) go completely fangirl/boy over it, or c) do both. :amuse

Megaharrison

07-14-2006, 08:22 PM

Ah yes...I forgot about the double episode tonight.

Aang vs. a giant demonic owl. For some reason, I think this will be a side-story and am not expecting much from it. Of course, this show rarely fails to upset so I may very well be wrong.

After watching this some more:

1) Holy crap, Sokka tripping on cactus water is the best thing ever.

2) And I guess one of our questions about variations on earth bending is answered:

Sandbending. Cool beans.

3) Iroh is even cooler than he was before!!!!!! And I heart Zuko more than I did before!

4) Vulture bees?!

----

If I'm reading into this right, no new Avatar for another two months...:cry

And poor Aang!!! I like how that jackass of a sandbender thought that if it wasn't the avatar's bison it would be okay. I had been wondering how long it would be before Aang fell into the avatar state. He'd been pissed for a long time. Almost irrationally pissed. A focus for anger can be a dangerous thing... :(

But I bet a dollar he'll meet up with Zuko and Iroh again in the city. XD

07-14-2006, 09:59 PM

It's just 2 regular episodes. Nick wants "movies" so they combined 2 episodes into 1 and called it "The Fury of Aang".

After watching it, I stand corrected. It was great...The ending being the best part of course.

If they meant the next episodes were the fire nation secrets ep, I'M GONNA BE SUPER PISSED. I almost shed a tear at the end when aang was about to go crazy avatar state.

and yes I'm a guy ...but I got a sensitive soul.

I gotta wait for this one site to start working b4 I can make sure if there is a new ep next week or not.

Best. Movie episodes. Ever.

Toph was the best in this episode; only Avatar could come up with so many blind jokes, and still make it funny. Other shows (like the crappy One Piece dub) would make it look stupid.

LOL, the "drunk" Sakka parts were funny. But of course, Sakka is always funny. And did anyone else think that those "Sandbenders" were airbenders at first? It seriously looked like they had little tornadoes going in those sled things. Guess it was just mini sandstorms. Also, who knew that Iroh's game actually had a meaning to the series.

The ending was awesome, Aang's out-of-control voice rocked! Can't believe they're having another "movie" event in September. I'm glad, as long as we don't have to wait that long for new episodes. I'm assuming at least 20 episodes per season, judging by season 1; I think they're only at 11, unless they're skipping around again.

Once again, Eastern Standard Time ftw!!! :kukuku

She's definitely important, but she's at a disadvantage. But they make some excellent blind jokes. Without being offensive. Toph is made of win.

To everyone else:

Yeah. I think we're going to be waiting until September for the next new Avatar.

We can't ask Nick to mess up they're nice neat summer schedule of crappy movies. :notrust (Though admittedly, their hour-long cartoon specials are pretty good.)

According to Wikipedia (which is normally correct on the showings) it says the next 2 episodes "Secrets of the Fire Nation Part 1 and 2" is going to be shown on September 15th.

We have quite a ways to go.

Sakura Kaijuu

07-16-2006, 01:28 AM

Yeah, it was definitely really intense through the second episode. And kind of scary. I've never seen Aang that pissed before. Especially for that long. I'm used to associating that kind of anger with Zuko.

Anyway. I'm pretty sure the next new Avatar will be in September. Stupid Nick.

Just saw the "movie", and it was pretty good. Wonder if Sokka's plan will actually come together. Also, who's going to teach Aang fire bending?

Sakura Kaijuu

Well, between the last regular episode premier and the double eps, it kind of got buried, and then someone bumped it right before the new episodes. So that's probably what will happen.

Join me in mourning, fellow Avatar fans, for the passing of a great man. According to the LA Times this morning (thanks to user nfreakct for the link), Japanese actor Mako died Friday from esophageal cancer at the age of 72.

The rest of the season two episodes are already completed, so there will be no change in Iroh's voice until next season. That said, Mako did such a wonderful job bringing Iroh to life for the audience that it is hard to imagine anyone else doing his voice. His skill and energy will be sorely missed.

Rest in peace, friend, your life was a blessing for everyone you touched.http://images.avatarspirit.net/voice_actors/mako.jpg

Oh my God...Are you serious? :( That's so sad...I mean, it sucks that Iroh will be voiced by someone else, but the fact that he died is just so sad... :cry

Let's hope his successor in Avatar does a good job. It's not like they can help it that Iroh's voice has to change.

Now when I watch Avatar I'll be sadder than I usually am. (I mean...Avatar does have some very depressing undertones...)

Spidey

07-23-2006, 06:00 PM

Well, Nick's being retarded with its summer schedule (something none of us should be particularly surprised about since around 2000) and they're doing movie/hour long specials all summer on Friday nights. The world is a cruel, cruel place, and we won't have any new Avatar until a new "movie" September 15 (I think), which is another double episode.

It's a pity though, he did an exceptional job with his character (iroh was by far my favorite) his laid back voice and attitude was kind of calming.

He'll be missed by this fan.

I don't believe so, as said he finished doing all the voice work for the rest of season two, and unless Iroh gets killed sometime before or at the end of season two, then he'll most likely be replaced (which will be a shame).

I guess I'll search through some bittorrents.

Or, you could visit the Avatar fanclub as linked to in 2Shea's sig, which has the youtube links to every episode available. And joining wouldn't be too bad either (although I haven't :P ).

Nimoshi

08-05-2006, 03:48 AM

He can't, unless someone teaches Sakka how to fight. He got some lessons from the girl in Kiyoshi Island. He still isn't good enough to fight jet. I love his weapon btw, hooked blades. XD

I just downloaded all of Fullmetal Alchemist, and I heard there was a movie coming out on the 25th of this month. I guess thats something to look forward to while we wait for the new Avatar.

Or am I wrong?

Spidey

08-05-2006, 05:17 AM

Good to see that their are other fans of this show on the board. Just to fill in for all i've missed: It sucks that there's a 2 month wait until a new episode, R.I.P Mako, I dont think Iroh will be killed, Toph is a badass blind gurl, Azula is a bitch, Zuko looks better with hair, & sokka was at his funniest in the cave of 2 lovers & the episode where Aang is learning earthbendin, & hopefully the group will find Appa. Plus we all know that Avatar isnt a rip-off of Naruto. And that about covers everything talked about in the thread after i spent all last night & some of today reading the 33 pages.

EDIT: just a quik question
with these bending skills he can control elements rite?

and because the first Book(season) is water does that means he learns water bending??

1) I can't answer anything about Book 0, because I don't know anything about it. :laugh

2) Yes, the books are like seasons.

3) Yes, by mastering all four types of bending he's able to manipulate all the elements.

4) Yes, the Book of Water is all about Aang going on a mission to learn water bending. It's actually a little tragic. In Book Two, he's already managed to find an earth bending teacher, but Aang is having more issues learning earth bending because it's against his nature as an air bender.

Aang learning fire bending from AT LEAST Zuko is a given. It was foreshadowed that they'd team up a long time ago. But the latest was in The Chase where Toph, Aang, Katara and Zuko all bend their elements into Azula. And boy that was bad.

That's too bad for Iroh's VA. R.I.P. He did a REALLY good job. In fact, all the VA's are really good. THe whole show in general for being on Nick. Y'know, actually having a plot and all that.

I hold in my hand my brother's latest issue of NICK MAGAZINE, which included in it some very interesting Avatar-related news.

First of all, the AVATAR CHARACTER CONTEST. It reads: "Come up with a character who has a special skill. Your character does not have to be a bender, and the skill can be amazing, funny, silly, or even useless." Then it has a form to fill out and send in. The prize is this: the three winning characters will be drawn into an Avatar comic that will appear in their December/January 2007 issue. Winners will recieve a framed copy of the comic and 10 copies of th eissue as well as other great Nick prizes. My guess - Avatar merchandise.

Second: a full-page ad about the Secret of the Fire Nation special. Aang is in this cool stance, taking up half the page, with what looks like stone glove (probably an Earthbending move). Behind him, Katara seems to be forming/coming out of some wave, and behind her, in the water, is this awesome-looking green sea dragon thing that looks a little similar to the Inagi, from the Kioshi Island episode.

Third: An ad for the last of the Water Volume DVDs. The art on the cover, if no one has already seen it, is still in the beautifully style that it has been in for previous DVD covers, and the picture is of Aang, Katara, and Sokka on Appa. The DVD comes with episodes 17-20 of the first season, as well as audio commentary by creators, cast and crew. This is due out September 19th.

Next: An ad for Avatar merchandise, including toys, T-shirts, and a Video game coming out soon.

Finally: the last bit of news is a DVD containing the entire first season, all of Book 1: Water Volume, coming out in September. The cover is awesome, with Aang, Katara, and Sokka all in awesome poses on the front. Fire covers most of the background, with an zoomed in image of Zuko's face in the fire. Those of you who have been waiting for the entire first season of Avatar on DVD - it's here (or will be, in September).

Finally: the last bit of news is a DVD containing the entire first season, all of Book 1: Water Volume, coming out in September. The cover is awesome, with Aang, Katara, and Sokka all in awesome poses on the front. Fire covers most of the background, with an zoomed in image of Zuko's face in the fire. Those of you who have been waiting for the entire first season of Avatar on DVD - it's here.
Very nice find, thanks for the contribution.

Arg! I wish I'd known that already! I miss getting Nick Magazine...I kind of let the subscription lapse when I was about fourteen...The true articles were usually pretty cool.

At least Nick is giving uber amounts of attention to what's become one of their most successful shows.

wow avatar TLA. I remember when i used to be hooked on it. My feelings for it is neutral. It's the best american cartoon attempt to be an anime that I've seen so far. The only problem with it a little is that it kind of drags on the same problem all the time. Trying to master all the three elements. Earth.Fire.Water. It's pretty good it just needs more twist to it. After awhile it kind of gets boring. Something better happen in it

*Mega-Bump*

Just saw a commercial on Nick about the new Avatar special. Apparently, a very popular and controversial character will be re-surfacing: Jet.
The commercial commentary went like this: "The first time he appeared... He couldn't be trusted. Now that he's back... he still can't be trusted."

(Also, it had a short shot of him with Zuko) :amazed

Iijyanaika

09-03-2006, 08:35 PM

hey there everyone. i've been watching since the very beginning. this is a great series all around. if any of you study wushu and taiji, you'll notice a lot of well put references in how they fight and their philosophies. hun gar, taiji, bagua zhang, chang quan, etc. the correct use of elements with the specific fighting styles.

the creators did an excellent job. i was relieved to see how much research they did for it, and the actual wushu training they did so they could feel how each move actually works.

someone mentioned how this might be a rip-off of naruto. far from it! this is so much more closely related chinese mythos/wushu/buddhism than naruto.

i'm happy to see there are others who watch it, but if you want the full affect, read up on the i-ching, bagua/bagua zhang, taiji, wushu. or actually train in one or all of these disciplines. this is a great show, and i'm excited in just a few weeks for the new episodes to come out. pluse we're getting video games next month <:o hopefully they're done well.

if you have any questions on the above mentioned or want to talk about it pm me :D

-spidey: how weird is it that jet is coming back......that kinda threw me off. i wish they wouldn't have mentioned his name, cause then it would have been a huge shocker >:B

I stopped watching for a while, well not because I didnt want, but mostly because I got lazy cause they seemed to have changed the schedule (because everytime I checked on friday nights, it was something else) I stopped at the end of season one. There weren't a lot of good fights in the season but overall it's good. Season two seems awesome, I watched all the episodes on youtube today just to catch up. I especially like Azula's alternate way of firebending, with the blue flame and lightning. It gives me a feeling there might be some alternate way for other bending styles also. I really liked Iroh's VA, too bad, R.I.P. man... the episode with zuko, aang, katara and toph versus azula is awesome and how there's a group of three elite firebenders after aang ( some cool action coming up), especially ty lee, since she's sorta like neji with the tekken and stuff, plus she's cute smile-big .

Iijyanaika

09-05-2006, 01:15 AM

season 1 had plenty of good fights, plus it was mostly an introductory part of the story. but there were definately good fight scenes.

iroh is not dead, you find that out in the very next episode.

the series does get a lot better as it progresses. it's already passed the 11th episode, and 12-13 will be coming out in less than 2 weeks. character development, story, the research they did for each characters element/fighting style, the humor and creativity with the animals. it's really a well rounded series

Hokage-of-my-hood

09-05-2006, 06:25 PM

i didnt say iroh was dead, I said his V.A. was. If iroh died, I would die with him. The series is very funny indeed. Season one had some good fights, but from the way season two has started, im looking forward to much more exciting stuff, especially the secret of the fire nation movie.

1 hour movie~the past one and i'm betting this next one are so much better than some of the crap hollywood is putting out that's over an hour >.> i'd much rather pay and wait for secret of the fire nation, rather than thatn idiot samuel l jackson and snakes on a plane?

less than two weeks! woo hoo!

a little off topic, but does anyone know why haru is in the video game and not toph? i've only seen a few screen caps for the xbox version :(

I'm pretty sure he finished out season two. So it's season three and on that they'll need a new voice for Iroh. Unless he's dead by the end of season two.

Iijyanaika

09-06-2006, 02:47 AM

i think we'll have iroh till season three. we still have to learn how iroh could see aang's spirit, while the earth kingdom warriors didn't see him. and he's the comic relief. plus he suffered enough having his son die. i think he'll be a nice father figure for zuko in the end.

but! if he does have to die, it's either going to be through helping beat azula, or ozai

sakura kaijuu- i feel your pain(your sig) my past roomates weren't into it, and i now live with my sister and 2 other people who also aren't into anime or manga >.> so i get to be a hermit in my room, until i can meet people in this new city who share the interest :`(

Not much. We haven't had much to talk about since the Library/Sandbender special. And it was a very cliffhanger-y special, so there's not much to discuss until the fifteenth. :(

aang being all mad, was great. i don't see why everyone is in a rave about jet though. he was willing to destroy an entire town >.> we'll have to see if he's changed his ways.or if he tries to put the moves on kataara and aang gets all pissy again <:o

i think iroh is going to end up teaching aang fire bending, strong prediction there.

09-08-2006, 08:56 PM

Yea this thread dies between the wait for new episodes. Seeing as how the new avatar 1 hour episodes is coming on, its been resurrected. Well at least when the new episodes start airing on Fridays regularly again, season 3 will start as soon as season 2 ends. That's the reason why I love avatar. But getting back on topic, I wonder what Jet is up to??? Also what he could possibly be doing with Zuko.

Iijyanaika

09-09-2006, 01:40 AM

i think it's jet who's trying to uncover that zuko and iroh are fire nation people.

so who wants to bet with me that we get a nice little fight between jet and zuko???

i bet this hour special is going to blow away the past ones. although seeing aang angry is still at the top of my list.

Just because his VA died, doesn't mean that they will get rid of his character. The creators of the show probably have plans for Iroh, plans that can't be altered due to the VA's death. Plus, when the actor who played Dumbledore in the Harry Potter Movies died, they didn't get rid of his character for the third and forth movies, did they?

Looks like we can look forward to more Avatar after the special. In the latest Nickelodeon Magazine issue, it says that "starting on Monday, September 25, be on the lookout for Avatar: The Last Airbender every weekday." I don't know what will happen to new episodes, but it looks like Avatar is going to be shown regularly.

Iijyanaika

09-13-2006, 12:24 AM

i think they're just going to show reruns as the every weekday thing. they've got almost 2 seasons worth of material. all of the new episodes will continue to be on fridays. here's a rundown for the next few episodes :D

32. The Serpent's Pass

First aired: 9/15/2006 Production Code: 212

33. Secret of the Fire Nation (Part 2)

First aired: 9/15/2006 Production Code: 213

It is up to the gang to stop the threat and save the city. Meanwhile, Zuko and Iroh make crucial mistakes which begin to attract Jet's suspicions.

Director: Giancarlo Volpe

34. City of Walls and Secrets (edit)

First aired: 9/22/2006 Production Code: 214
Having finally made it into Ba Sing Se, the kids are given a house in the upper ring. The kids are anxious to tell the Earth King their plan but there are complications.

NeoDreamer

09-14-2006, 12:17 AM

nice sneak peeks. I think the fire nation secret besides their losing strength in an eclipse ; is that they air ships...now i dunno if they already have them...cause I forgot how they destroyed the air temples...but I remember from the ep that aang found that one air temple and they had those inventors there...and the fire nation attacked them there and ended up stealing the hot air-balloon that the inventors had made but was shot down or something. I know they said they would find this useful in the future...so that's my take.

Iijyanaika

09-14-2006, 05:30 AM

wow, for those who have direct tv, or what not, the episode is already out >.< lots of great stuff going on in these episodes too

-Toph's jokes. She was HILARIOUS in these two episodes. Her puns were awesome. Like Toph builds them a tunnel thing under ground and sokka goes, "I cant see! How good does this do us?" and toph goes sarcasticly, "OH no how will we ever survive?" and then sokka goes, "Oh, sorry."

the part after toph saves sokka from the crushing rocks was great. "Thanks toph for saving my life, oh no problem sokka." There are some other ones she says but I cant think of them at the moment.

The Suki sokka moments were adorable and the kiss between them as well.

Sokka during the birthing was funny. Katara was really good at coaching the lady. It was the most I have ever seen from a children's cartoon. I can see that little kids are going to be asking now, "Mommy where do babies really come from?" After watching this.

You get to see some of the country side and how the monerail really works. That stuff was beautiful, its a really pretty place, ba-sing-se. The way the drill blows up was cool, and the earth general is kinda funny. After his plan doesnt works toph goes, "Uh huh, so now you want to ask the avatar for help?"

You see Aang standing there and the general slides over cartoonishly looking like a little kid and goes, 'Avatar Aang will you help us?"

so for those of you, it's an awesome special! and there's plenty more to look forward too as well :D

I think I know what the Fire Nation's big secret is.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this before, but if you look back in chapter 17 of book 1 where Aang and Company go to the Northern Air Temple, Sokka conjures up a hot-air balloon blimp to rain down stink bombs onto the enemy forces.

At the end of the episode, one of the soldiers, probably the captain, looks at the abandoned and wrecked hot-air balloon and makes the analysis "this will be to great aide to the fire nation." <Paraphrased, I can't remember word for word.

Perhaps it is now come to pass. They probably didn't create simple blimps, but a airborne fleet. All thanks to Sokka's genious.

Semi-random thoughts:
Not at all what I was expecting, but damn if that didn't kick ass; however, maybe this is just me, there seems to be a certain level of repetition. I'd like to see some more firebender antagonist beyond Azula and her crew like in the first season. As usual everything involving Toph and/or Sokka was gold and its nice to really see Aang show off some earthbending. Part of me wanted Tsuki to join the group, though I realized that may end up making the group a bit too large (and there's not much more that she could add to the group dynamic anyway). I do wonder if we will see Appa again, I'm starting to entertain the possibility that you won't see him again (or at least for the rest of the book).

You can let me drown now." :laugh :laugh :laugh :laugh

Poor, poor Mako, he was so funny, too, especially when Iroh was conversing with the large ugly woman. I can't believe he's gone, I can't imagine anyone else voicing Iroh. :cry

09-16-2006, 12:07 AM

Damn, Sokka's a pimp. First he's all hugged up on Tsuki. Then he's got Tai Lee flirting with him mid battle.

I like how this episode showed that Aang's almost got a handle on bending all elements by showing him using 3 of the 4 in battle. Plus he knows a little bit of fire bending already.. he's just too wild with it.

Chatulio

The one thing I love about the comic relief in Avatar is when someone says a joke that's supposed to be funny it actually is funny. Sokka's sarcasm never fails, and Toph's blind jokes have yet to get old. Can't wait till next weeks episodes.

I have said this in my FC already but I would like to discuss with people who are not in my FC also.

Some of the things in The Drill doesn't make sense. When Aang and Toph used earth bending to lift everyone to the top of the wall, they shouldn't be in the same side as the drill did. And the time doesn't match what they were doing. How could they cross the lake in 2 days and arrive the wall in a few hours? That's not possible.

Also, I think avatar is getting not a kid's show any more.:wink

so, it just ended now. Did anyone catch the latest episode of Avatar? This one was really good with the whole "no war" conspirarcy in Bah sing say, and I loved that part where Katara was reading the announcement for the party for the bear and Aang and everyone kept asking which kind of bear, and she's says just bear and they all were like this city's weird XP priceless.

Sokka's just a pimp.

Sokka is a pimp. I didn't watch the latest episode yet but I will it's recorded on DVR.

But the one hour special they showed last week so awesome beyond words. I'm really liking Avatar more and more when I see it.

Just saw the episode recently.

It was average up until the end. The crazy dude in charge of Ba Sing Se and his war censorship was just awesome.
