My own mother…thought I was a monster.

Particularly in the Southern Raiders when she does it in front of Zuko and he gets an epic "oh shit" look on his face for a second then goes back to paying attention to the issue at hand,

Does that make Zuko's character arc the greatest or the greatest ever?

I may be making this up, but isn't it explicitly stated that he was an urchin kid in the past? I always assumed King in Omashu was some sort of weird post one could be elected to, like Queen was on Naboo in those horrible prequels.

This is not so hard

Can't wait for the Last Airbender gangsta rap, a la the epic Star Wars gansta rap

I cannot wait to get off from work and watch this tonight with sound! Thanks for posting it.

This would be the greatest crossover in the history of crossovers.

The Batman movies after The Dark Knight Rises will need a lead!

I think it makes sense. If we are to believe in Zuko's transformation after he double crossed Katara and the GAang in the season 2 finale we need to see him change on his own. Iroh had imparted all the love and knowledge he could in Zuko at that point in Zuko's life, so we needed to see Zuko make more decisions on his…

I also didn't see how closely tied Appa's kidnapping and Aang's decision were to the future world changing consequences until I read this review. God I love this show.

That matron was the dopest little shorty in all Ba Sing Se, Earth Kingdom

I totally noticed the strange refined cadence of this post too

I always thought so too, but I thought she left to purposefully put the suspicion on herself instead of Ozai, which would ensure that he would stay in power and make it more likely that Zuko could remain safe because this is a plan she and Ozai agreed to

I would imagine Royal marriage would be very meritocratic as I'm assuming they try to marry those who will give them the most powerfully bending children. Add natural talent from eugenics with all the privileges of unimaginable wealth and add a splash of horrible parenting and you get Azula!

Teen Girl Squad is so great. Zuko is the ugly one.

*SPOILER* The only redeeming quality of that episode is community service and the Kyoshi backstory

@Cheese, "Avatar Day" is still one of my least favourites, but at least it introduces us to Avatar Kyoshi's back story. She's one BAMF

Troutmask1, you just made my life appreciably better. Thank you.

I also didn't understand the true impact of what the Earth Kingdom girl said either until this rewatch. How is it that this show has so many layers? It simply boggles the mind.
