Ranking Every Episode of Avatar The Last Airbender

having the awakening, the deserter, AND siege p2 below avatar day is absolutely insane

“Aang’s feelings for Katara are never a major part of the story”. The entire reason he delayed in learning to master the avatar state is because of his feelings for Katara. It was a huge plot point

The fact that he didnt say that the worst episodes were outright bad just shows how good of a show atla is

Bro put the water bending scroll over the boiling rock 😭 ur taste is horrendous but I respect it

I love how Zuko actively went out of his way not to firebend as the Blue Spirit to not get suspected. The only reason Zhao found out is because he has no respect for privacy lol

The Last Agni Kai is still the best moment on the series in my opinion. Not only is the best of all three Agni Kais, but everything is elevated to 100. The visuals, the music, the feels, the culmination of Zuko's arc, the fact that Azula breaks down due to all the accumulation of abuse she received, and her own choices coming to haunt her is incredible, and her crying in defeat is heartbrealing because she is a child, Zuko's little sister. I love it.

Putting siege of the north Pt 2 that far down is crazy to me. Zhao literally murdered the moon, he upset nature in such an enormous way that the ocean itself turned against the fire nation, I think it's thematically rich and the ending is truly awesome (awesome in the old sense, inspiring awe)

The boiling rock has the best dialog of the whole show: - My girlfriend became the moon - That's rough, body. Just because of that it should be way higher 😂😂

The look on ozais face when aang redirected the lightning strike has to be my favorite shot in the entire series.

Respect for having the headband so high. A lot of other list have it in the bottom 5 episodes. Nothing but love to fellow headband enjoyers.

The Puppet Master is a top 10 worthy episode in my opinion, the themes and symbolic undertones surrounding Katara were executed so well. Not to mention the fight scenes and the context behind blood bending and the water tribe as a whole make it really stand out from other season 3 episodes

I will rebut that in the King of Omashu episode Bumi’s trials did serve a purpose, if Aang had known the other elements he could have solved those trials easier so in a way Bumi was seeing if Aang was trained in that hundred year gap of course that’s just a theory but with how much insight Bumi usually has it could totally fit

The whiplash between watching a video describing The Fortuneteller as a top 3 episode, and immediately following it with a video describing it as a top 3 worst episode, was crazy. My favorite episodes are The Blue Mask and The Southern Raiders!

My ranking would be completely different & you have some takes that I'm sure much of the fandom would strongly disagree with. With that being said, very enjoyable video & I always appreciate the effort creators put in to produce such lengthy videos. Keep it up!

Personally I would put The Boiling Rock episodes a lot higher on my list, but I love prison escape arcs. This is a very good list. I’m glad you took the time to do this.

Feel like the placement of The Painted Lady was way too generous considering some of the episodes lower on the list I'd personally put far above The Painted Lady

I really disagree with some of his opinions. I understand his view on the siege of the north but ranking it beneath episodes like bato, the painted lady, the waterbending scroll and avatar day is criminal. The season 1 finale might be the worst compared to the other 2 but it still had far greater story and worldbuilding than any of the ones i put above especially bato. That ones only saving grace was the end fight. The rest was just character assassinations all around.

Siege of the north part 2 is numbered 53. Oh this is gonna be alot of hot takes

2:39 I'd argue it's foreshadowing for the finale. As Bumi observed, Aang couldn't just use his airbending habits as a crutch, he had to learn to think outside the box. 38:11 The fight was slower than most of the others, but that's because it was a formal duel. I thought it was appropriate for the circumstances, and a good showcase of firebendering technique. And regarding Aang's talk with his past lives, they did NOT explicitly tell him he had to kill the Firelord. That was how he chose to interpret their words until he found a better way. But he still followed all of their advice (except Yan-chen's).

Am I the only one who finds the ToBSS segment with Katara and Toph adorable and heartwarming?
