I hugely appreciate Appa's willingness to fly us all over the world, however, no one is perfect, and an issue I have with him is that he can just be a touch too panicky at times XD. I'm looking at you, "The Cave of Two Lovers".

But I will say that during episode 15, my heart softened a ton toward the big sky bison. They did a phenomenal job with that episode. In this recent rewatch, I began to suspect that Momo is older than Appa because Momo seems more steady and mature. And there's a scene in episode 15 which implies Appa is somewhere in the ballpark of 4-6 years old, which, if that's still young in sky bison years, it totally accounts for the vibes I'm getting. So I would assume maybe Momo is more of a teenager or older in animal years.

Azula is one of the coolest and most terrifying villains ever, Toph is my role model, and I lowkey understand Katara a little better for how she acts toward a certain character in the next season. What happened was pretty bad, actually.

It's crazy, I know, but I actually like the songs sung by the wanderers in "The Cave of Two Lovers". I've had the one they sing at the end of the episode stuck in my head off and on for years.

Well, this looks amazing.
I still wish they'd brought back the original voice actors but I can’t complain too much cause this looks phenomenal.

edit: just found out Keith from Voltron: Legendary defender is playing Zuko, so now I really can't be mad XD.

First off, yes, this show still holds up after twenty-something years. It's amazing, and definitely deserves its highly esteemed place in pop culture.

The humor is top-notch. It's the perfect kind of slapstick, silly comedy that always has me chortling.

Sokka was actually a lot more useful than I originally thought. Aang and Katara were constantly being foolish, and it would be Sokka who got us back on track. Or at least he tried to. They rarely listened to him. XD

Momo is the hidden mvp. He was wildly useful. Don't know why I never noticed him before. He's probably my favorite character now lol!

"The Great Divide" is still one of my favorite episodes in the whole show. I was dying laughing just as much as I was when I first watched it years ago.

Loved all the parallel shots between Aang and Zuko. It's especially noticeable in "The Storm". Also, their fighting synergy in "The Blue Spirit" was honestly peak.
