With great heroes you need great villains, and that's where the exiled Prince Zuko and his uncle Iroh come into play. She goes through some major changes and she even manages to changes lots of lives in the process, she was a fun one to watch. Katara the wise Waterbending teenager was one of the most interesting to watch this season. Each with an interesting point of view and individual voice, they are distinct in their own right. From the first episode "The Boy in the Iceberg," Avatar gets you completely invested in these new characters. The writers know where they are going and know how much they can give us to keep us locked in and still drooling for more.Īs story-driven as this show is, I don't think it would be anywhere near as good as it is without its ability to create such strong characters. That's not to say there are still questions that need answered, but the ones you may have like where did Zuko's scare come from, or when did Aang find out he was the Avatar get answered in this freshman year for the show. Whereas with Avatar when you have a question, you don't need to wait four seasons to have it answered, it gets answered in this first season. The big reveal of a lot of things that happen in this world is a breath of fresh air from other cartoons, and television shows that offer you interesting ideas with very little to no pay-off, and then drag it on for seasons and seasons, and if you pay attention you quickly see that there is no clear direction those shows are going. Episode after episode in this first season we learned more and more about the world they live in, and its back story, and the major characters' back stories. For starters, in order to have a successful show you need good to great storytelling abilities.
Avatar the last airbender season 2 episode series#
Coupled with fantastic story telling, fascinating characters, and some pretty incredible story arcs it's no wonder why this series has received such critical acclaim. By taking the style of animation that the Japanese invented and making it their own the creators of this fresh and unique series struck cartoon gold. That risk I am referring to is an old style of animation done an American way. Toph's parents, believing Aang has kidnapped her, promise Xin Fu and Master Yu a chest of gold if they bring her back.When trying something new it is always a risk, but sometimes when you take that risk it pays off, and with Avatar: The Last Airbender it paid off in spades.
Toph reveals her power by defeating Xin Fu's gang, but her parents become even more restrictive. Xin Fu kidnaps Aang and Toph, thinking he was cheated.
But Toph cannot become Aang's teacher due to her wealthy and overprotective parents, who attempt to keep her isolated from any danger and to make her conform to the expected social role of a young woman of the Earth Kingdom aristocracy, despite the fact that Toph is by nature tough, sarcastic, and intentionally unrefined. Toph uses earthbending to sense her environment, perceiving the lay of the land around her and the subtlest movement of her adversaries, allowing her to launch effective counter-attacks she therefore fits Bumi's advice that Aang's earhtbending instructor should be someone who "listens and waits before attacking". At Xin Fu's earthbending tournament, Team Avatar witnesses a display of powerful earthbending by a young blind girl named Toph, who Aang recognizes as the girl from his vision in the swamp. Episode Description:Aang is searching for an earthbending teacher, but with little success.
