At the same time, our first glimpse at Ozai is of a man who is larger than life and everything Aang fears. Realizing how Zuko got his scar is an early horror in the series, a warning that this "kids' show" (it opens in a post-genocidal authoritarian society) is going to push us. In Zuko's, we see a curious, empathetic boy, the polar opposite of the angry jerk we know. In Aang's flashbacks, we meet Gyatso, who makes it clear where Aang gets his personality, and their personal connection amplifies the pain of knowing the entire Air Nation will be brutally wiped out.
#AVATAR THE LAST AIRBENDER SEASON 2 EPISODE 15 SERIES#
It's both a riveting episode in and of itself and one of the most crucial to the entire series - a 20-minute microcosm summarizing the character arcs of Zuko and Aang through flashbacks, unexpectedly humanizing the former and highlighting the parallels between them both. The first half of Season 1 brings us into the world of A:TLA, but The Storm gives us the history we need to invest in this story moving forward. Season 1, episode 12: "The Storm"Īang revisits his past and the events that led to him ending up in the iceberg. With that in mind, here are 10 perfect episodes of Avatar: The Last Airbender to binge right now on Netflix. And we didn't rank them, but stayed to sequential order.
(A top 10 list gets boring pretty fast when half the contenders are "Sozin's Comet.") We tried to have a healthy mix of seasons, but it's tough when Season 3 slaps so damn hard. To keep this list somewhat fair, we didn't include multiple parts of the same episode. Before you start your 872,374th rewatch and try to convince everyone else in your life to watch from the beginning, we thought it would be fun to revisit some old favorites. The magnificent Nickelodeon series is finally back on Netflix after years away from a streaming subscription service (no doubt to build hype for the promised live-action series). There are two types of people in this world: those who are ride-or-die for Avatar: The Last Airbender and those who are wrong.
