Moreover, the Gaang give the village a way to fight back against the Fire Nation, which has been forcing TeoвЂ™s father to build machinery for it.

Teo is wheelchair-bound with the soul of an airbender, so Aang decides to share his culture. Book 1, Episode 17: вЂњThe Northern Air TempleвЂќ Here, вЂњAvatarвЂќ tells us that such violence is never okay.Д¤7. People in pain may do terrible things and convince themselves that awful violence and hatred are excusable. Jet is the original bad boy, and the first seed of one of the showвЂ™s ultimate messages is shown: No one nation is the good guy, and no one nation is the bad guy. Book 2, Episode 2: вЂњThe Cave of Two LoversвЂќДЄs well as being a Kataang episode, this one showcases a delightfully wacky group of nomads who increase in number as the episode goes on, sing the absolute jam вЂњSecret Tunnel,вЂќ and make Sokka facepalm so much his face goes red. Here he does something bad out of fear and reaps the consequences, as he learns to trust his found family.Д¤9. Up to this point in the series, Aang has been a funny, lighthearted and well-meaning kid. Book 1, Episode 15: вЂњBato of the Water TribeвЂќ When Zuko wins he shows more honor than Zhao does by taking his victory with grace, further setting up ZukoвЂ™s spectacular redemption arc.ДҐ0. We also meet antagonist Admiral Zhao, who Zuko defeats in the showвЂ™s first Agni Kai. You thought this was going to be a happy-go-lucky kids adventure? Sorry, turns out Aang is the only survivor of a genocide of his people. Book 1, Episode 3: вЂњThe Southern Air TempleвЂќ The exposition has a point, thankfully, so itвЂ™s ultimately an enjoyable episode.ДҐ1. Naked Iroh fights off Earth Kingdom soldiers, we meet AangвЂ™s predecessor Avatar Roku, and the Gaang successfully convince a murderous panda spirit not to kidnap villagers. Book 1, Episode 8: вЂњWinter Solstice - Part 2: Avatar RokuвЂќ Book 1, Episode 9: вЂњThe Waterbending ScrollвЂќДЄnother Katara episode - in case you were starting to think she was the Mom Friend, she decides to steal from pirates, before ZukoвЂ™s cronies get involved, and it goes about as well as youвЂ™d expect. It turns out the Gaang canвЂ™t make people want to fight because вЂњAvatarвЂќ is all about choices, the Earth Kingdom prisoners have to choose it for themselves.ДҐ3. Honestly, itвЂ™s exactly in the spirit of Avatar. Like the preteens and teenagers that Aang, Katara and Sokka are, they see getting captured by the enemy and becoming a literal prisoner of war in order to incite resistance against oppressors as a good plan. Book 1, Episode 7: вЂњWinter Solstice - Part 1: The Spirit WorldвЂќД®xposition time: In addition to learning the four elements, the Avatar has a spiritual responsibility. This episode gave us memorable exchanges like вЂњCan your science explain why it rains?вЂќ вЂњYes! Yes, it can!вЂќ - not to mention some lovely messages about shaping your own destiny - but is largely inconsequential.ДҐ5. Sokka learns that girls can fight too and Aang learns that hero worship is a double-edged sword. Book 1, Episode 4: вЂњThe Warriors of KyoshiвЂќ

Insane King BumiвЂ™s introduction is fun, even if itвЂ™s a bit obvious that heвЂ™s AangвЂ™s childhood friend.ДҐ7. It deftly establishes ZukoвЂ™s potential, and when Aang, Sokka and Katara take off on Appa, itвЂ™s the real beginning of the show.ДҐ8.

And off the bat, Zuko shows he has honor - he promises to leave in peace if given the Avatar, and he does. Book 1, Episode 2: вЂњThe Avatar ReturnsвЂќДЇor the record, Aang was never officially unbanished from the Southern Water Tribe. ItвЂ™s a bit moralistic and heavy-handed, even if AangвЂ™s lie to the two tribes is hilarious.ДҐ9.
