My thoughts on the Netflix Avatar: The Last Airbender series

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Did you watch anything interesting?

On Sunday, I watched the Avatar: The Last Airbender live action Netflix TV series. And you know what, it turned out to be a pretty good adaptation of the original series. The first season only has eight episodes, so they couldn't show everything such as not including a moment from one of my favorite episodes The Waterbending Scroll (season 1 episode 9). But I can watch that episode anytime. (Edit to add: For some reason, I totally overlooked Katara waterbending with the scroll. I guess next time I won't watch a show so early in the morning. Yes, I am currently re-watching this.)

Quote: Iroh's Speech to Zuko (Avatar: The Last Airbender)

Iroh has shared plenty of insight and good advice throughout the Avatar: The Last Airbender animated series but this conversation he had with his nephew was so perfect. What I find interesting is that Iroh rarely raised his voice to Zuko. However, at that moment when his nephew was about do yet another stupid thing, he couldn't let him continue on this struggle following his so-called "destiny". He wanted his nephew to stop and think about what he truly wants out of life.

"I'm begging you, Prince Zuko. Its time for you to look inward and begin asking yourself the big questions: Who are you? and What do you want?"

~ Iroh, from Avatar: The Last Airbender season 2 episode 17: Lake Laogai

30 Day Geek Chic Challenge, Day #8: General "Uncle" Iroh: Geek Out With Your Favorite Beverage

Day #8: Uncle Iroh: Geek Out With Your Favorite Beverage

Uncle Iroh may be one formidable guy in battle but one thing this kind hearted guy loves is tea. He loved tea so much he even opened a tea shop.

Tea is a very essential beverage for him and he makes sure to take time out to enjoy a cup. That's very relaxing for him. Iroh also enjoyed making and offering tea to others from his nephew Zuko to Avatar Korra while in the Spirit World where he now resides.

The challenge for this evening is to take a few minute and enjoy a warm cup of tea or whatever your favorite beverage maybe as you sit back and relax. Maybe even while watching one of your favorite shows or movies.

These are the last two parts of this fan made Avatar comic. As I have stated before, this really feels like the cartoon and the artist did a great job.

I think the artist did a really great job because this feels just like the show.

Part 2, has Aang trying to hurrying General Iroh so they can reach Katara and Zuko. Because Zuko is still being happy and nice, Aang doesn't want Katara to start falling for Zuko instead of him.

Part 3, fills in the scene where Zuko was trying to decide if he should join his sister to stop the Avatar or instead to help the Avatar. I think it's really funny how their uncle explains why Zuko is so out of character with a simple statement of "he's on medication".

This fan made comic is based on the second book (season) finale. It's the author's amusing way of explaining why Zuko suddenly became so nice.

I don't know what's funnier Mako being nervous around Azula or Zuko being annoyed by his uncle Iroh.
Either way this picture is just too funny.
