Introduced in this season is quite possibly the best character ever – Toph, a blind girl of Earth Nation descent who uses her ability to sense motions in the earth to guide and to see. (It also makes this season even easier to binge-watch!) But because of the interlocking web of episodes in season two, it feels matured, and the stakes feel greater for the characters. I can’t fault the first season in retrospect for it.

For a cartoon show to focus such acute attention to character development is uncanny, and I loved every second of it.Īnother place where this season succeeds over its predecessor is the understanding that serial storylines are better than a handful of one-off adventures. Each began as dull side-missions, or day-to-day errands, but all turned into brilliant snippets of insight into each characters feelings and lifestyle. Literally 6 short stories following the two factions of main protagonists on individual adventures. Let’s focus on that second filler episode I mentioned: Tales of Ba Sing Se. The first was enjoyable yet-childish, and the second was brilliant. With more than a handful of story arcs to overlap and interweave each other, recurring themes, characters, and seemingly throwaway lines, the “fill the episode quota with filler” episodes were rare.
This has, for the most part, been done away with throughout the second season.
Many episodes worked seemlessly together, while others felt thrown in to fill gaps.

My only real concern with the first season happened to lie with the 20 episode quota the series needed to face. This will eventually lead him to learning mastery over all four elements. The first season (or book) focused on how the Avatar, a young boy named Aang mastered waterbending, but this go-round he must train in earthbending. Easily my current favorite cartoon, one that last aired over 7 years ago, the show is terribly addicting, and endlessly creative. Avatar: The Last Airbender is the way to go. Binge watching is rarely healthy often accompanied with too little sunlight and/or copious portions of junk food.
