Top Fifteen Avatar Episodes, no I won’t be taking criticism at this time
These are the top fifteen best episodes, according to me, a person who just binged the show in three days. This is opinion but also my opinions are always right, so there.
Bad ass villain girl gang chases the gaang and everyone comes together for the first time for a big ol’ fun fight which ends an emotional gut punch. Everything I ever wanted
Badass mysterious guy with swords rescue’s Aang and turns out to be ZUKO??? Stunning. Makes us question who Zuko is as a character. Also, cool sword fighting
Listen, you all know why this shit is here. It made you cry. It made me cry. We all cried. Let’s leave it at that
12. The Siege in the North
First major battle, high emotions, great action, soaring music. Good stuff.
Villains being awkward and trying to be normal + therapy session on the beach = things I love
Excellent character work. Paralleling our antagonist and hero. Diving into their deepest fears and mistakes. Stunning
Great battle plan, good showing from Azula, epic confrontation between Zuko and his trash father. The invasion was a failure but it didn’t fail to win my HEART
Listen. It’s just a solidly paced episode with amazing action and it makes me cheer at the end. It’s not deep. I’m a simple girl. I like a good action movie.
Heart breaking. Gut wrenching. A poignant character study.
Look blood bending is sick, both in the cool way and the horrifying way and also katara is a bad ass, thanks
Prison breaks and Sokka x Suki and the Zuko and Sokka bromance already made this great. But that Ty Lee, Mai betrayal at the end? GOLDEN
4. The Cross Roads of Destiny
Stellar character conflicts and inner turmoil. Heart wrenching. Dramatic. Makes you want to shake Zuko while still understand why he made his mistakes. Also, Azula is a stone cold bad ass and can shoot me with lightning anytime
Her name is Toph. It sounds like tough. This has one of my favorite action sequences. Toph is welcome to kick my ass. I’d thank her for it.
I’m a Zutara. You know why this is here.
1. Sozin’s Comet, the four part finale.
Listen, I like good endings. I like endings that do the characters justice. I like happy endings that are earned through suffering. So this finale is great. Zuko and Katara vs Azula is still one of the best fights to ever happen. Aang’s final show down with the Fire lord is stunning. The White Lotus going to town is breath taking. Zuko and Aang hug and the balance is restored. Love it. Best episode. 10/10
And that’s it. The correct and definitive ranking. Honorable mention: the Waterbending scroll. Because I am, as I said, Zutara trash.
