So I really think I'm going to like this show. 3 episodes in now; I'm surprised they actually said "hell." On to episode 4!

But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

Ah yes, the Beach Episode. Only it's the villains at the beach. And they torch a guy's house for fun. And we're supposed to sympathize with them. And it still works, somehow.

I just finished season 3, episode 4. Toph is my favorite. Also Itoh.
That reminds me.

The kitchenette mold free, you move on to the pantry. it's nasty in there. The bacon is grazing on the lettuce. The ham is having an illicit affair with the prime rib, The potatoes see all, know all. A rat in boxer shorts smoking a foul smelling cigar is banging on a cabinet shouting about rent money.

Pnx

Well the villains have three people who look good in bikinis, the good guys don't.

Well some of them do end up being less villainous than others.

Yeah, Iroh is the best character in any media ever (not hyperbole).  His moment in Tales of Ba Sing Se and that one "Do you know why they called me the Dragon of the West?" moment were both amazing.
It's just too bad he never had GREAT FLAMING EYEBROWS.  Just imagine...

Iroh would be my hero if he actually existed. He is THE awesome old guy.


It's even better because, at the start of the series, you think he's going to be one of those generic mentor guys that dies or turns evil. Nope. He just becomes progressively more badass and laid back.

Okay, season 3 is just getting sort of tedious at this point. It's become "let's aimlessly wander around in the fire kingdom with some filler episodes". I just finished episode 7 and it looks like it's going to take until episode 10 for the plot to get going for real again.

Episode 8 had some interesting world building, but nine is kind of tedious, yeah.

Yeah, that's why one of my favorite parts of the show is the dynamic between her and Zuko. He's older, but she's every bit the big sister until he does his epiphany thing.

Re: Cartoon/Western Animation Thread. -- Toph can't read your post.

Note to self as to why I should not browse TvTropes on a series before actually seeing it.


1) You may read that someone will get shot in the show.
2) You may come across an obvious Very Special Episode about guns.
3) You may see a gargoyle playing with a gun in an irresponsible manner around a character you like.
4) You may pause the video at this point.
5) You may not be able to continue.



This sounds specific but I assure you it has happened before. In recent memory, too.
