Appa = win
So I just watched 3 episodes of Avatar, the first two and then episode 20, I think.
My main thought was that they should make a spinoff called "The Appa Show". It would garner better ratings and be fucking awesome. Also I watched the first two and then skipped way ahead and didn't feel like I missed much. The element bending is cool; I kind of wish the characters didn't talk. Also the fire nation looks super lame. I also had some major thoughts:
1) The southern tribe is like 15 people in igloos and tents...and the northern tribe is hundreds of people in a sophisticated, massive, ice fortress?
2) Lollin pretty hard at the water master and the water chick's reaction to him. He's sexist until he finds out she's related to someone he loved...then he agrees to teach her and everyone is just sort of...fine with that. Also the apparent governor of the tribe seems to have 0 sway of the masters decisions, which is odd.
3) The fact that Ang is the fucking avatar (elemental jesus) should really count for more than it does (e.g. the water master should under no circumstances refuse to teach the world's savior necessary world saving skills).
4) Appa is awesome
5) I think I would be infuriated by the rest of season 1 considering it takes them 20 episodes to get to the north pole WTF.
6) Curious avatar decisions (curious because they're different)
a) Shit I'm drowning, freeze self in massive ice block
b) Shit I'm drowning, create massive waterspout to defeat nearby attackers
Anyway, those are my thoughts on Avatar.
