Just finished Season 2 of Avatar.


Season 2
Episode 3 “Return to Omashu”
--Hooray for return of Crazy King Bumi! I wonder if Mai had to interact with him at all? I bet he would have driven her nuts.
--Mai and Ty Lee/the girl sidekicks are endlessly amusing.

Episode 5 “Avatar Day”
--So Zuko’s listened to his uncle’s pep talk and decided that he needs to go off on his own to angst. He’s not all that bright, is he?
--I have fun imagining Zuko-the-bandit meeting Robin Hood. Robin Hood starts going off on his “steal from the rich and give to the poor” thing and Zuko says that he’s a moron.

Episode 9 “Bitter Work”
Context: Zuko talking about wanting to beat Azula: “I know she’s my sister and you’ll say we should try to get along.” “No, Azula’s crazy and she needs to go down.” I love you, Uncle Iroh!

Episode 11 “The Desert”
--Toph’s stone angel!
--This episode could be retitled “Aang’s Berserk Button”

Episode 13 “The Drill”
--In the first episodes, I never would have expected Sokka to turn into an engineer.
--Well, the general did say “please”
--Mai: Azula can shoot all the lightning she wants at me, I’m not going into that sludge.

Episode 14 “City of Walls and Secrets”
--I would love to see all the main characters end up on the same train. Hijinks ensue
--the tour guide’s face is creepy
--Iroh: This tea is nothing more than hot leaf juice!
Zuko: That’s what all tea is.

Episode 15 “Tales of Ba Sing Se”
--Aang honey, next time just move one animal at a time
--poetry slam!
--Zuko’s emo is always entertaining but it’s also fun in the moments when he acts like a normal 16-year-old boy (who doesn’t know how to talk to girls)
--Iroh and Momo’s stories: I’m just going to be over here, bawling my eyes out.

Episode 16 “Appa’s Lost Days”
--the ending: Fuck that shit! I want to see Appa and Aang reunited!

Episode 20 “The Crossroads of Destiny”
Sometimes I worry that Mai’s on sedatives but “Just take the bear” was pretty funny.


I enjoy the audio commentaries, even though I haven’t listened to all of them. One of the bits I really like is during Toph’s first episode, when several of the male directors/writers are talking about how they intentionally decided to have multiple strong female characters in this show.

Iroh in the Tales of Ba Sing Se makes me cry every. single. time. For a kids show, that really surprised me.

I know! I'm watching and oh, it's a happy day and then you realize what it's been leading up to and WHAM. Cue the waterworks. And then I found out the original Iroh voice actor died partway through the series!
