EXACTLY! i find when people hate a character’s choice it’s because they’re stuck seeing in only black and white. while yes, aang shouldn’t have hidden the letter, his choice makes sense from his perspective. a young child with the fate of the world on his shoulders, growing into himself as a person, learning his people whom he saw a few days ago actually were all killed 100 years ago, living in a world that developed while he was gone. he’s going through so much in such a short amount of time and it’s amazing what the mind will do to convince you that this choice will save you from more pain and abandonment. and with that, sokka and katara’s reactions also made sense. a parent they haven’t seen in YEARS was so close and their new close family kept it from them? of course they’d feel betrayed. it’s never b&w and trying to get others to see that is always so exhausting 😅

W Overanalyzing Avatar reference

Watching Appa actually square up and go toe to toe for the first time blew my mind as a child

This is honestly a very important episode for Sokka specifically. Much of his development is very subtle here. We of course have him showing off his leadership abilities and problem solving, but my favorite thing about this episode, is that this is where Sokka, according to his father's definition, finally becomes a man. Ice dodging is seen as a right of passage for young water tribesmen, after doing that, Sokka reflected back onto when his father told him "Being a man is knowing where you are needed the most." Sokka became a full fledged MAN when he decided to turn around and help Aang, as that is where he and Katara were needed the most.

@gemgem-hl7ii

I have never thought about it this way, but you're right. This rite of passage is a big deal to their tribe and it also symbolizes his growth. I always focused on Aang in this episode.

I will never understand people thinking this is like out of character or something. He's literally a 12 year old in a strange world, everyone he knows is dead, no friends, no family. Sokka and Katara are pretty much all he has in the entire world, while it's obviously wrong, I think it is completely understandable that a 12 year old in his position would do something like that.

People tend to give Aang α lot of flak for the mistakes he makes and lies he tells throughout the show, but he’s α traumatized grade-schooler. Of course he can’t be expected to be reasonable in the same way an adult can, especially when his only remaining support network is involved.

I think this is the first time I’ve seen someone think Jim was zuko’s sister LOLOL And aang wasn’t JUST jealous. He was practically DEVASTATED to think his new found family would leave him so easily after being the last one of his people🫠

@@icyycold1094 That too. Would love to see a small movie or short series on Iroh’s journey from a general in the army to a wise grand Lotus. Feel like he was a true terror on the battlefield considering how amazing he is as an older man, though I’m sure a lot of his wisdom and skill came after meeting the masters.

"they're dancing" talk about foreshadowing lol

This episode is the prime example of uncle iroh supporting zuko but letting him try to be the one to capture the avatar himself rather then doing all the heavy lifting for him

What he did was wrong but very understandable considering the position he’s in seems like a few times when Aang does wrong it isn’t ok but still makes sense to a degree with his mindset and life experience. What I love is that everytime he messes up he learns from it and does better

Ok Aang was in the wrong here but I can't really blame him. The fact he is the last of his kind with a chance of losing the current people closest to him must hit hard

Regarding Iroh, he's powerful, but he also understands this is Zuko's quest and he wants him to have his own teachings and failures along the way. He's more of a coach and mentor to Zuko than a straight up teacher or ally. He's being the kid's fatherfigure and letting him fight his own battles.

He was 12 and his people had been completed wiped out as a result of genocide. It wasn't right to lie and it does feel slightly out of character but avatar or not, it was a very human and relatable thing to do - even if it was wrong. He owned up to it and was willing to face the consequences, I think that says more about his character than the mistake itself.

sokka is also a traumatized teenager who misses his dad so his reaction is just as understandable as aang. For that reason I'm glad that the show decided for sokka to be the one who decides to go back

19:03 my man's karma is so high he can steal from nuns and still have a positive score

The one thing that I feel that a lot of people kinda get wrong about this episode was that, I don't think Aang was jealous, I think he was scared. From the beginning when Bato got there he was trying to learn more about them, he wanteed to be engrained, be a part of their lives, he wasn't trying to get them away from Bato, it was only after they kept disregarding him and shrugging him off that he did what he did, he wanted to hear stories, he wanted to know more about their father. Because at this point Aang feels that Katara and Sokka are his family. Thats why he fessd up when he did, because he got that acceptance and he wanted to come into it with a clear concious. He is a 12 year old kid whos whole life basically is gone now,. Also, one thing that I got from this episode, and maybe I misread the vibe, but, I don't think Katara was angry, she was dissapointed, and there is a difference, especially when she lingered slightly before going with Sokka. Personally, I think she had already forgiven Aang. She understand what he went through, she was the one that told him, that they were his family now. But, she found herself in a similar situation to episode 1. Sokka was angry, Sokka was her brother, that's why when Sokka said "We need to go back" She smiled. it was permission, Sokka had realized the same thing she had, and now, since her older brother was on board, she couild go back and keep her family. Yes, they want to see thier dad, but when Sokka looked past his anger and realized that they couldn't abandon ANY part of their family, they were both in agreement, Aang was too important to their hearts to really leave behind.

Ironically, out of all of the “bad things“ Aang does in the show the only one I hear having a unanimous agreement on is Aang lying in “the great divide” Everything else I could easily see being very understandable, for why he makes it seems that he does. It may not be the correct decision, but it makes sense.

This episode is one of the most quality fight action packed ;D Fight between Zuko and Aang was great. Both of them felt pretty serious and skilled.

I hate the first part of the episode. Not because its bad. Its just so cringe inducing how much you feel Ang doing a bad thing. Its a huge compliment to the writers for making a situation this real. But I will watch this episode everytime I can just for that fight scene at the end. The choreography of Aang Vs Zuko is so good. Like when you notice Aang did the same sweeping attack Zuko did on the roof tops, because he isn't used to taking offensive strikes with air bending and the tip toeing around the well. ITS SO FUCKING GOOD

The Animation aged so well 🔥

With the still frames in Ben 10, it’s because they’re harkening back to the style of comics as most of the original creators in Man of Action started as comic artists.

This was the first avatar episode I didn’t want to finish as a kid. I just hated plots about characters lying to their friends and really didn’t feel like listening to whatever painful drama that was going to happen because of it. I understand what it was going for, but something about characters going through drama that is obviously going to be resolved later but still having the characters go on and on over how hurt they are by just gets on my nerves after a while.

@19:00 yall are are right Iroh was just giving zuko guidance and would only step in to fight if zuko was in danger. However he is not the most powerful of the fire benders that would be Ozai then Iroh. Followed by Azula arguably as 3rd.

Iroh is more like Dark King Raleigh. He's old, semi-retired, wise and cocky, and trains/guides Zuko while letting him fight his own battles and only intervening to save Zuko when things get too dangerous. I'd say the closest to Garp would actually be Bumi. He throws Aang into insane unconventional trials, still actively holds a high position of power, and places his professional/national duties first.

The choreography on this show is always crazy.

This episode is a lil wonky to me for a few reasons, but one of the weirdest decisions that feels super inconsistent with Iroh’s character is that they inexplicably made him the “pervy old man” anime trope for JUST THIS EPISODE.

This episode is both funny with Iroh being perfectly wise and charismatic and heartbroken because it's so easy to understand why aang did this and why katara and sokka are upset so you can't pick sides...also, god damn june is just badass 😂😂

His age aside and while I do understand why Aang did what he did in this episode, I don’t think it’s that out of character for him, as much as we do like Aang, let’s be honest here, he can be more than a little selfish and self centred when he wants to be, he used Sokka’s food as kindling for a fire, spent money on a whistle without informing the group, complains about walking and looks down on people for eating meat, none of this has to really do with his age or his culture, their just flaws to his character.

21:01: Uncle Iroh has W rizz.

Man if you like the fight scenes in season 1 wait for season 2. They bring in a group of new “villains” that have some of the most kick ass moments in the show. Some of which I’d argue can compete with the final fight in s3

This episode has a really slow start but it also has the best fight in season 1 and one of the best fights in the entire series
