Makes it all the more hilarious to know that Aang revealed that they two guys in question were just toddlers and fighting over a stupid game... But really? the two brothers would hold a grudge over something like that? Seems REALLY stupid and forced...
Probably why it was all made up... Well, fair enough, since they would have continued fighting otherwise, which got on my nerves.
It's a neat twist, and the animation styles of the three stories was pretty cool.

so uh why did you put one part of the spoiler in a spoiler tag and not the other?

i mean most people have probably already watched so it doesn't matter that much, but doesn't it defeat the purpose of putting things in spoilers??

People who still haven't seen A:TLA on this forum in it's entirety still exist :P

Some of the best moments of the series are better left if they're surprises to those watching.

Dunno... Probably because it was a last-minute thing, and maybe I was just subconsciously playing along with the joke.

Incidentally, I just finished the first season, I thought the season finale was awesome and I'm looking forward to the second.
 
season 2 is better just because its finale reaches a teensy bit higher on the epicness ladder

also, leaves from the vine
 
So I just started the second season, and there's one burning (pun not intended, you'll see) question on my mind...

This princess girl, Azula was it? Apparently she controls electricity... I electricity really the same as fire? I feel like that's stretching it a bit... even if the call-back to the uncle guy transferring electricity through is body in that season one episode was pretty cool. But she seems to be quite the perfectionist, almost like Zuko, though Zuko seems to imply that everything just seemed to come naturally to her... Maybe that's just his perspective. Speaking which, I think the whole Zuko/Azula B-plot of this episode is more interesting then Aang dealing with his Avatar State. Zuko is so anxious, so desperate to make his father proud, to be welcomed back with open arms, that he easily falls for Azula's ploy and shouts at his uncle, who really has been the kindest member of his family, especially to Zuko. I think I'm with Doug, in that Zuko might be my favorite character, second only to his uncle. Also, I assume those knots in their hair were a symbol of their relation to the royal family, and cutting them off is supposed to be symbolic of them leaving the family. I like it, it's subtle.

As for the main plot, well, it's certainly an interesting dynamic, and I totally understand both sides, and just how desperate the Earth Kingdom general is, but, eh, couldn't get too invested in that. Or rather, I find myself disliking the guy for trying to push Aang into his Avatar State, not fully understanding what it means or knowing fully of it's awesome power. I think he's a bit too eager to end the war, which is understandable, though I feel he crosses a line when he and his men start attacking Aang, hoping to trigger that state... And then he DEFINITELY crosses a line when he attacks Katara! I mean, really, what do you think will happen?! Do you really think an angered Avatar Aang is going to listen to the guys who just attacked him and his friend?! God, what a freaking dumbass! That being said, as always, the action and fight scenes in this show are great, as always!

Also, I like how the former Avatar, Roku, pops up whenever exposition is needed, and this is good information to know, for future reference. If the Avatar is killed while in his (or her) Avatar state, the Avatar will cease to be... So it's like a glass canon, powerful when used, but incredibly vulnerable; guess that's why is a defense mechanism.

Anyway, sorry to once again comment on episodes long past, I just really wanted to comment on this.
 
It's lightning (lightning's hot and burns things). You'll find that there are some benders who can bend variants of their elements.

Meh. I don't feel as though you-know-who (the person to whom it was directed) was developed enough for that moment to be as effective as it could have been. I found myself not reacting to it at all.

Roku is actually one of my favorite characters. I don't know why. There's something about him that interests me. Maybe it's the voice, maybe it's his epic scene in the winter solstice episode, maybe it's his backstory. Who knows. For all I know, it could be that his name is one letter off from Goku.
