Season 1 Review

⚠ Spoiler alert Season notes below reveal how the story develops.

Long ago, the four nations lived in harmony. Then, everything changed. The animated show’s original creators helm a flesh and blood take on Aang’s story.

Season Review

The foundation season: Aang wakes from the iceberg, the world’s stakes are established, and Zuko’s hunt begins. It’s the most kid focused season (the filler-y early episodes), but the seeds are all there, the genocide backstory, Iroh’s quiet grief, the Winter Solstice finale giving us the spirit world and Aang’s Avatar State. The Storm (Zuko’s backstory) is the first legendary entry episode, and the finale’s siege of the North ( Zhao vs. the Ocean Spirit, Yue’s sacrifice) is the first sign of the epic it becomes.
