I finished this for the first time last month and was surprised by how much I loved it. I think the second and third season are better the the first. But man I kept thinking of other franchises that tried to do similar story telling but was such trash compare to this show
It’s overall great. I once met this creator of this series in my classes who was nice. Too bad I lost his signature as I always have with previous celebrities I ran in as a kid 😪. Apparently that wasn’t much a loss in reality I guess lol
I just started watching it for the first time and I knew I was going to like it when I saw Zucko’s back story. He’s a little punk, but I appreciate an interesting villain. Also Aang is adorable and Sokka is hilarious. Katara is okay... they just introduced Azula and Toph where I am in the story and I’m interested to see how the other girls are written.
this is considered a hot take in fandom but: katara is boring and outright irritating until later in the series -- and fandom makes her more boring bc she's their self insert character for shipping
I have a love/hate relationship with Katara. I love how she sticks to her values and stands up for what’s right. But sometimes I’m like “can you just stop for like a second?” She can be a bit overbearing. She’s kind of why I dislike most of the first season.
i personally ship zukaang when their older (don't stone me ontd) and i find zutara to be different flavor dramione het stale and i feel like kataang worked in the show but doesn't pull my fannish interest. it's simply hilarious that they both fight so hard... but a lot of zukaangs i know are also zutaraangs!
and edit to add that i think portions of the zutara fandom (rightfully) get dragged bc of the way they choose to talk about aang and i think portions of both fandoms should reconsider how they view katara -- canon!katara is not fandom katara esp with zutara. the self insertion is rly transparent.
yeah It's one of those things that I was glad to have seen as a kid and then rewatched as an adult. Like, I get to appreciate it as a fun fantasy kid show and now I get to analyze it for the mature show that it is.
