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

I love this picture because life (and love) doesn't end once you get older.

Wow, that's just stunning! It looks like it should be in a museum.

This is so Amazing! I love all the details in this as well as the way the characters are portrayed.

I like this picture because who else would have Zuko's back other than Mai. If anyone could manage to get pass Zuko they most likely wish they had not since the last person they would want to deal with is Mai. She's that good.

It is hard to pout when someone is trying to make you laugh. They are so cute together.

This is so adorable and funny. Fire Lady Ursa is the only one actually enjoying the play while the rest of the family probably wishes they were somewhere else.

This is just too funny. Thank goodness someone is always foiling Zuko's plans. Look at Aang's arm hanging out of the cooler.

Quote: Zuko from Avatar: TLA

"With Zhao's resources, it's just a matter of time before he captures the Avatar. My honor, my throne, my country. I'm about to lose it all." ~ Zuko

It looks like Zuko may have lost a bet to Sokka and now has to carry all of Sokka's shopping bags. The artist did not draw a green purse for Sokka, the Avatar series did. Sokka might be a warrior but he does love his shopping. This is so funny.
