Bitter Work: Training montages always feel great because they make the audience feel like they're accomplishing something, but rarely are they given so much emotional space and full arcs... This is show is just gonna keep getting better isn't it? (This is rhetorical don't answer)

"I thought I was trying to be strong, but really I was just running away from my feelings." Can't tell you how long it takes to learn this. Even kind or sympathetic people can be so afraid to be weak or vulnerable, often because they never learned how. I love this show.

Went back for part 2, THE DRILL: which turns out is a giant set-piece that is literally "fury road good." I'm constantly delighted by how smart the action is too when it comes to the ingenuity of using the elemental magic and how they can all work together.

“You dont know what I had to do to get seats this near the bear!” This is a good show.pic.twitter.com/guxBRUAmX5

City of Walls and Secrets: Yeah, yeah, yeah it's mostly set-up but YIKES. Also, the aforementioned just a bear.

Tales of Ba Sing Se: No doubt, a love letter to each character and I feel we could speak in depth about each, from hurtful make-up politics to secret memorials to animal cruelty to haiku battle rap an angry boy's vulnerability to a homeward bound journey pointing forward...

But throughout all, the simplest message: For a show about epic battles and grand gestures and destinies long since written, in truth, we show who we really are in how behave towards those we barely know.

Appa's Lost Days: Earlier in this thread people would ask "what kind of bender are you?" and I would joke "I'm pretty sure I'm just Appa" so JESUS FUCKING CHRIST AVATAR I'M TRYING TO SPEND TWENTY TWO MINUTES *NOT* CRYING MY EYES OUT THESE DAYS

Lake Laogai: 1. Seeing Uncle Iroh passionately yell for introspection was, well I don't what to say unexpectedly powerful, because it both took me by surprise and yet makes all the sense the world 2.

The Earth King: yeah yeah lots of putting pieces in position, but now crazy super excited for finale...

Part 1 - The Guru: A cynical, simplified comparison would be to call it "Luke's Dagobah choice," but because this show is so freaking grounded in psychology and meaningful story choices it just plays so beautifully - and with genuine insight into Aang's mind and journey.

Part 2 - The Crossroads of Destiny: I have seen many stories and shows attempt to nail this kind of difficult crux in the story, to hit those difficult notes, to make those difficult choices... but I have never seen it executed as well is this. Wow.
Show this thread -
The Awakening: Largely a quick re-set, but works because it so rightly gets to Aang's feelings of failure. More just excited for what's next.

The Headband: Now THAT's what I'm talking about. Organic world building, small stakes story, a dance party (!!!) and HILARIOUS- "you must be one of those popular kids I'm always hearing about!" / "And this one I made out of noodles!" / "Sapphire Fire!" / Toph's Nelson laugh.

The Painted Lady: A little more clunk than normal, but the final stand-off seals the functionality of the build-up. I wish other shows understood apotheosis like this one. Every detail builds. "Now you look just like a little hill with horns!"

By the way I love when shows redesign their standard models and the new fire outfits are

Sokka's Master: A lovely episode that shows how much of our value lies in the way we're missed, and all the ways Sokka brings such strength, creativity, and versatility to all those around him. It's honestly best version of the "xander" archetype I've seen. Plus...

1. A brief moment to talk about Toph's incredible comic timing and characteriztion, "you see nothin once you've seen it 1000 times." / "I learned from badger moles!" and 2. Iroh's training sequence!.

Wait til I finish it cause I'm only five mins in, but holy shit there is basically a HORNY TEENZ HANG OUT ON THE BEACH episode!??!?!
Show this thread -
The Beach: HORNY BEACH TEENZ. 1. Zuko and Mai's disaffected goth romance is everything to me. 2. Azula as a sociopath trying to be social vs. Ty Lee's inherent likability... This is everything I didn't know I needed.

The Avatar and The Firelord: Once again, it's all about quality writing. So much fantasy gets lost in the nonsense of history and lore, but Avatar takes those details and paints lovely brush strokes of how our family's history can effect our psychology in the here and now.

The Runaway: Ah the "3 days earlier" trope, how I hate thee. At least the ep understands that it can ONLY work as misdirection, but again I hold fast and true to there is nothing you can with it that you can't do better in straightforward story. Also the scamming montage is aces.

The Puppetmaster: 1. There show literally has a HELLRAISER HOMAGE. 2. I'll be honest, an unexpectedly poignant ending. Sometimes the worst thing we can pass on is the powers we should never possess, and the will to do whatever it takes :(
