Given that 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Avatar: The Last Airbender has been called one of the best cartoons ever, the Netflix adaptation had a lot to live up to. Everything in the cartoon was perfect, from the character arcs to the personalities, and the worldbuilding was amazing and som🌞ething we haven’t properly seen in other shows since.

Netflix’s Avatar: The Last Airbender had to faithfully adapt the cartoon in a way that would live up to Nickelodeon’s smash hit, but given the massive failure of the movie adap💃tation, hopes were already low. Thoওugh Netflix’s show is no masterpiece like the cartoon, it still manages to deliver an entertaining TV show for us to enjoy, and some episodes really shined through in the way they approached the story.

8 ꦑ𒐪 Episode 3: Omashu

IMDb Rating: 7.0/10

After Aang, Katara, and Sokka leave Kyoshi Island, they decide to head on over to the Northern Water tribe after Aang sees Avatar Kyoshi&rsqဣuo;s vision of the destruction of the water benders. On their way there, they stop at Omashu, where they meet an engineer and his son after being smuggled in by Jet.

The reason this episode is ranked at the bottom is because of how many characters and stories they crammed into this one episode, and these characters failed to develop as well as they did in the original show. This episode also finally introduced Azula and the iconic cabbage guy, but even fan-favorite characters couldn’t improve the pacin🐎g that made it so mediocre.

7 Episode 4: Into The Dark 🦹

IMDb Rating: 7.0/10

The second part of the Omashu episode, Into the Dark introduces the fan-favorite King Bumi, one of Aang’s friends from a hundred years ago, who emphasizes the responsibility Aang has of protecting the world. This episode has the same issues as the last one in that they cꦚombine a lot of the stories into one narrative, but it does improve on them a bit.

Ambudkar plays King Bumi quite faithfully, bringing the eccentric nature of the earthbender to the Netflix show. Besides that, Iroh&rs✃quo;s story and him losing his son is touched upon in emotional scenes showing how🉐 Zuko was there for him throughout. Overall, Into the Dark was an enjoyable episode of Netflix’s Avatar, and it only gets better from here.

6 Episode 5: Spirited Away ꦿ

IMDb Rating: 7.2/10

This episode focuses on the spiritual aspect of being the Avatar, introducing several iconic characters from the orig📖inal show and even improving upon some. For starters, after entering the village, instead of the spirit of the forest abducting the villagers nearby, it was actually Koh the face stea🧸ler who got very little screentime in the cartoon but was explored much more deeply in this episode.

The psychological aspect of the episode, like the trauma faced by both Katara and Sokka, was expertly crafted, showing just how it affected their character while Koh replayed their nightmares over and over again. The best part was the reunion of Gyatso and Aang in the spirit world, where 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Gyatso plays a game with Aang and reassures him in an emotionally resonant conversation ꩲthat had the actors give it their all.

5 Ep⛦isode 7: The North

IMDb Rating: 7.4/10

The entire show revolved around Aang and his friends reaching the northern water tribe to warn them of 🌱the destruction that awaited the final big stronghold of the water benders. Not only did this episode manage to make the North extremely beautiful, it did it without altering the story in any major way.

Some would argue that the two-part finale that took place in the north was, in some ways, an upgrade over the cartoon, giving us more context to the choices made during the battle. Zuko, Azula, and even Yue were explored in this episode, which 𓆉added much-needed depth to their characters, especially Yue, who we didn’t know much about in the cartoon beyond the basics. It’s a much more grounded and well-paced episode compared to the previous ones and deserves its spot on the list.

4 𒉰 Episode 1: Aang

IMDb Rating: 7.5/10

The very first episode of the show, we see a differently-paced story-telling from 🅷the original cartoon. We see Fire Lord Sozin’s attack on the airbenders that wiped all of them 🎐out, as well as Aang’s mistake of running away to clear his thoughts.

One of the best things about the show, though, is the emphasis on Aang and Gyatso&rsquoꦯ;s relationship with each other and the action-packed bending fights between the firebenders and the airbenders that showed them holding their ground. But just like the rest of the show, the episode suffers some pacing issues that could’ve been improved upon. Regardless, it was a great introduction to the show and showed us that Netflix’s version wasn’t going to be a carbon copy but a fresh take on the story.

3 Episode 8: 💦Legends

IMDb Rating: 7.9/10

The finale of Netflix’s Avatar managed to be such a huge upgrade compared to the original live-action movie that it managed to go beyond expectations of the final fight. The episode starts off with the trio taking out a Fire Nation ship only to realize they are vastly outnumbered. Admiral Zhao also reveals his secret pl🐈an to Iroh during the battle🦩 and has Iroh emphasize the stakes of messing with the spirits.

Unfortunately, Zhao succeeded in his plan, which led to the iconic ocea🦹n spirit rampaging and destroying the Fire Nation fleet in a cinematic treat for the eyes. Yue’s emotional sacrifice to bring back the moon and prevent the extinction of the water benders was also well done. Towards the end, Aang finally realizes the sacrifices he needs to make to save the world as the Avatar in this amazing finale.

2 Episode 2: Warriওors ♔

IMDb Rating: 7.9/10

Although some would argue that the Kyoshi Island episode was done better in the cartoon, Netflix’s version had a very welcome addition to this part of the story. For starters, Sokka and Suki instantly have a connection, and their chemistry is noticeable from the start of the episꦓode. Though 🎃this episode has a much more serious tone in the story, if we had the same exact story, nobody would watch the show.

The serious ♏tone is welcome, especially if it’s done right, like in this episode where Zhao and Zuko attack Kyoshi Island, forcing Aang to enter the Avatar state and take the form of Kyoshi herself. What followed was a badass fight brought forth by Kyoshi, who destroyed the Fire Nation troops in an action-packed fight that displaye🌟d just how powerful and big of a threat the Avatar is to the Fire Nation.

1 💟 Episode 6: Masks

IMDb Rating: 8.4/10

Perhaps one of the best episodes of Netflix’s Avatar was 'Masks,' which added character development for some of the characters that might’ve been missing from the original cartoon. Avatar Roku, for example, was much funnier and more laid back than his cartoon counterpart. But the best part of the episode was the flashbacks that showed Zuko and the circumstances that led him to become the person he is now.

We see that Zuko was initially good-natured, and spoke out against his father for sacrificing troops to gain an edge in bat🦄tle. Those very troops became his crew as punishment when he was banished from the Fire Nation. We see exactly why Zuko is obsessed with retrievi🃏ng the Avatar, only seeking to go back home after three years of traveling, and it leads him to save Aang from Admiral Zhao as the Blue Spirit. Zuko and Aang manage to converse and make a connection that goes beyond their rivalry so far, making Masks the best episode of Netflix’s live-action Avatar.
