Does Avatar: The Last Airbender get better?

It was a bad message for kids, that Aang had no interest in the ugly girl with pig-tails (she even talks about how her hair isn't nice), but wants the cute Katara instead.

If they made the pig-tail girl good looking then I could have seen the message. Instead the writers implied Aang should pass up the ugly girl for the good looking one. What a great message for kids, but that's how it works in real life 90% of the time anyway.

This is wrong on all levels.
Try harder.

[Peanut]

Don't bother talking to him.

[plastroncafe]

It's less "to" and more "at."

[BabyTurtles]

She wasn't ugly! She's freaking adorable!



Just because Katara wasn't paying attention to Aang doesn't mean she's not interested in him, she was caught up with the fortunetelling.

Watched the next episode, how ironic in the one directly after Katara kisses Aang on the cheek.

Anyhoo that woman with the black hair and her beast with the tongue were pretty cool, do they come back? It would be nice to see more recurring characters than just Zuko and his Uncle.

I think a problem I have with this show is the main cast is too small. Its just the main trio and Zuko and his Uncle...and that's it. There aren't any other recurring characters so far and everyone they meet seems to never appear again. There is that Fire Nation Admiral but he's kinda bland personality wise.

I think that's the reason I feel these episodes are moving slowly, the main trio seems to go through the same motions every episode as does Zuko/Uncle. Its taking them an awful long time to get to the North poll too due to the amount of filler padding.

Yeah she does comeback.
One of my favorite episodes is actually a filler episode and I believe it is coming up....actually I think you already saw it. its called "blue spirit"

When is the end of the first season? I think I'm at episode 14 now, which is the last episode? Also I'd rather call it "seasons" not "books" since this is a show and not Harry Potter.

Episode 20. Just keep watching. I can't believe you hate the show.

Really? Are you reeeeeeeeeally shocked? Because you shouldn't be.

[CyberCubed]

Is Korra more action paced than this show? Avatar seems more about the adventure and just exploring the world and meeting a new Pokemon in every episode with Zuko/Uncle constantly tailing the gang.

I can't believe its been like 10 episodes and Aang still isn't at the North pole. Its like waiting for Goku to finally arrive on Planet Namek or Ash to get his next Gym badge. You know its coming but its taking forever to get there.

You are so nitpicky. Why in the world are you still watching?

The show is 61 episodes long, I'm only up to episode 15. Why would I give up before I've seen at least half the show? I heard it picks up after season one anyway.

[CyberCubed]

The next episode was really weird. Katara's hands get burned but the camera didn't make it clear what happened at first so she started crying and you had no idea what was going on. And Sokka jumping on Aang made me think they were done with him since Katara ran away.

Why would the two siblings stick with Aang after he burned Katara's hands? I also didn't understand why she was crying, shouldn't she have been in excruciating pain or does fire bending not work that way?

I can't understand that scene. Aang should have been disowned right then and there.

[DarkLightDragon]

It was an accident, he apologizes later, and the whole experience makes him not ever want to fire-bend again.

Don't think he should be "disowned" for that.

[MrTMNT2012]

I'm seriously starting to question your mental status.

[CyberCubed]

He burnt her hands, had Katara not discovered that healing ability would her hands have been permanently scarred? She was also still hurting from the burns so that could have taken weeks/months to heal had she had to go to the hospital.

I don't know why Katara was so quick to forgive him at the end of the episode, its something that should have caused a rift between them.

What? Aang felt extremely bad! This is going to haunt him for the next seasons and affect his ability to learn firebending! (if you stick long enough to find out)

Katara is a kind character, she's like a mother for the group. She would never disown Aang because he accidentally burned her....even if she never learned how to heal.

it shocks me how little you understand these characters when you are this far in the season....

[DarkLightDragon]

Then they'd never get to the North Pole together and Katara would never get to master her waterbending. None of them would've benefitted from that.

It would've made the entire time of them bonding over this big journey entirely pointless had they let this one incident cause a rift between them, even for too long.

Katara and Sokka were already going to split from Aang to find their father in the previous episode. Aang even crumbled the map so he didn't want them to leave him. If the two siblings were already going to stop traveling in the middle of the journey just to see their father, that's the same deal.

Katara getting her hands burned is unforgiveable even if it was an accident. Sokka's initial rage was spot-on, but he shouldn't have calmed down at all. After Katara healed herself and she comes to warn Aang about the fire admiral, she's like, "Nevermind how I healed myself" like it wasn't a big deal.

[DarkLightDragon]

So they should split from Aang, have him fly off on his own to the North Pole, leaving them stranded and no quick or safe way back home or the North Pole, because they shouldn't put up with his crap that he was quick to feel guilty about and apologized for? Never mind that all three are wanted by the Fire Nation already, so splitting definitely wouldn't be a wise option.

At this point, I really don't think you'll ever get into this show if you continue to get hanged up on trivial s*it like this...
