Zuko's story is great too, perhaps the most compelling arc on the show

I honestly think A:TLA is my favourite show full stop. I think it's the character development and the satire of the real world that make it so interesting. Every character has depth.
Korra is objectively not as good. Season 3&4 are interesting, but at best are 7/10. Where as the last airbender is as close to 10/10 as possible and every season is gold.
The blue spirit is favourite episodes of book 1. Zuko alone is best of Book 2.

What they did to Amon should be a crime.

I'm just gonna rant a little about the movie and post any spoilers for the show.
M. Night obvious did not do any real research on the show. Him making Fire benders only able to bend from a source (unless they're powerful benders) completely made it implausible and illogical that the Fire Nation would be able to dictate or oppress anyone. Fire has to be made to even exist, it isn't like the other 3 elements which all exist naturally. The show clearly explained that
The episode where the Earth Benders were isolated from land and earth was completely botched in the movie too... they were literally surrounded by earth and could have dropped some dirt on their fire source and slaughter them. I can't go on, getting upset.

Fire Benders source is the sun and the heat of it (That's why they're more powerful in the day.

incredible antagonist, beautifully creepy... turns out to be

Got chills just thinking about it. Been so long since I rewatched this show.. This thread has me wanting to immediately.
It gets darker. Not too dark. Just dark enough not to wallow in it.

You'll definitely want more. Season 3 is actually my fav.
You need to make a post with time-stamps of your thoughts as the finale is going. Or, y'know, just sit back as you watch it and cry like the rest of us did in knowledge that it's over.

The reaction of the other fighters, Toph's and Katara's comments, the music...made it pretty clear that he was dying

Sadly yes. It would need to be very big budget but for an external IP; one that hasn't been particularly relevant in a decade. I don't see any publisher taking that up. Maybe if the Shyamalan series had gone all the way and been not terrible (seriously; how do you fuck up such amazing source material?!) it might be more likely, but that ship has sailed.
(Seriously though; once you've finished watching the animated series, watch the movie The Last Airbender. Shyamalan claims he's a fan of the series and it's fascinating how everything about it is wrong. Literally everything!)

The Blue Spirit was the episode that made the show click for me. I watched that part of the movie on Youtube and it told me everything I need to know about that movie.

I swear the movie just seems like it was written by a chain of people who were just summarizing what the person before wrote. And only the first person in the chain actually watched the TV series. By the end of it, you just get these weird scenes. And then they're like, these scenes need explanation now.
Just amazing how they managed to ruin the movie so bad.
