>I don't know what Zuko Alone is doing this high

I think Crossroads of Destiny is a little overrated. Very good in the last part and with Azula's speech to Long Feng, but the rest of the episode felt kinda rushed.
Imho the scene between Zuko and Katara was not that well written, also the fighting coreography was weaker than usual.

Personal top ten:
10. The Drill (just for the kickass animation)
9. The Awakening
8. The Blind Bandit
7. The Library
6. The Avatar State
5. DOBS Part 2: The Eclipse
4. The Siege of the North: Part 2
3. Avatar Aang
2. The Waterbending Master
1. Into the inferno

I left out a lot of episodes I loved, and my list would probably change if I rewatched the series.

>the series finale wrapped up all the loose ends

>Shit Tier:

This tier does not exist. And even if it did, what the heck is The Beach doing on it????

>>81082

This is a fucking terrible tier list.

>>81085
>>81086

>>81085
Oh come on, the Shit Tier does exist.
It's called "The Great Divide"
Hell even the SERIES agrees about that.

>>81082

Firebending masters was a great episode tbh.

>>81082

What the fucking fuck is wrong with you.

>>81082
>Meh Tier
>The Cave of Two Lovers

The Great Divide was the episode on air when I first watched the show and something on it convinced me to give it a chance and watch the series. So it can't be that bad. At least it doesn't have a preachy moral about "always telling the truth even if it good for nothing".

>>81103

>Meh Tier:

>The Swamp
>Nightmares and Daydreams

I'm not even gonna bother looking for a reaction image to fit my rage, sadness, and confusion.
Just...no. No.

How could anybody put The Southern Raiders on a shitlist? That was easily one of my favorite eps.

>>81161

My younger sister hates the episode, and Katara in the entire Book 3 because "She's such a bitch." I thought the Southern Raiders showed a different side of Katara, the once again appeared during the finale. And, as much as I hate Zutara and its shippers, I like their interaction in the episode.

>>81161

Seriously.

And personally, The Painted Lady doesn't deserve to be in it as well.

Nightmares and daydreams is fucking awesome. NOT shit tier. Oh no.

>>81177

You probably like their interaction because there was almost no subtext in their interactions. It did very little for the Zutara ship, other than stop Katara from hating Zuko (as much).

My only problems with the Southern Raiders are two-fold.

First, the opening scene where Azula attacks the group feels way too rushed. It puts half of current gang on a bus until after the finale, including Hakoda, who we had just spent two episodes breaking out of prison. What's more, Azula seems a bit too over-the-top. She's far more frenzied and manic than usual, which doesn't really fit with her being paranoid and depressed just a few episodes later. It's like the writers just wrote the attack in to split up the group and get the main Gaang out of the Western Air Temple.

My second problem is the fact that Katara uses bloodbending, something that she had previously vehemently opposed. The real tragedy at the end of The Puppetmaster was that Katara was forced to bloodbend to protect Sokka and Aang. She acted like she had committed some kind of mortal sin in doing so, even if it was justified. But then she turns around and uses it again the very next full moon. It ruins the emotions she previously had about it.

But the encounter she has with the man who killed her mother is pretty awesome. The way she stopped the rain really hammered home just how screwed the guy was.

>>81202
'Nightmares and Daydreams' is probably my favorite episode except for 'Avatar Aang.'

>>81091
'The Great Divide' belongs on the meh tier. It is the only episode on this tier. There is no shit tier for AtLA.

>>81232
Yeah. To me 'The Southern Raiders' was all one big Katara=>BROFIST<=Zuko. Which is awesome.

>>81232

>She's far more frenzied and manic than usual, which doesn't really fit with her being paranoid and depressed just a few episodes later.

Maybe she's bipolar?

>My second problem is the fact that Katara uses bloodbending, something that she had previously vehemently opposed.

I actually liked that. It showed just how vengeful she was about this, and how much her hunt for revenge was twisting her morals.


Anyway, my least favorite episodes are Imprisoned, Warriors of Kyoshi, and The Great Divide. They're all just meh tier though, I can't think of an Avatar episode that I actually hate.

>>81235

I like the idea of a Katara and Suka friendship because they always feel like the polar opposites of each other, but not exactly in a way that would work romantically, since it seems that uko puts up a front of anger to hide any feelings of hurt/rejection, while Katara has this front of always being hopeful/motherly/the morale boost while concealing any anger she has over her mothers death. I always thought she was just as pissed off as Sokka usually is about what happened to their mother/the Northern Water Tribe, but knew she had to play the straight man to avoid losing Sokka, and later any of team Avatar.

It's funny, though, because with that, I always see Azula and Sokka as the polar opposites of each other, but that's kind of off topic.

>>81238

Suka? Lol, Zuko. I shouldn't respond here while intoxicated.

>>81238
>I always see Azula and Sokka as the polar opposites of each other
CAN'T UNSEE

The Beach was the first ep I watched. I thought the whole damn show was like that :(

It took me another year and a half to give atla one more shot.

>>81264
Same with me but the episode was the waterbending scroll.

>>81232


For quite a few individuals I know, before they get ubber depressed about something they have a higher tendency to just explode on people. It was only just a day or some after the TBR part 2, I'm sure that since she knew where they were she just got the anger to want to start something immediately, something to distract her.

The moment she lost sight of them, the moment she was stuck to herself and her paranoia and depression really kicked in.


And to Katara using the bloodbending again, I was absolutely fine with it. It not only showed just how blood-raged she was to finally get the guy who killed her mother, but almost immediately afterwards she realized just how much anger she had invested in this now weak man and using bloodbending is probably what internally told her "Wait, what am I doing here? This isn't right" and what at that moment stopped her from actually killing him.

>No blind bandit
>No warriors of Kyoshi

Fuck this shit

>my face when I check /a/ 5 days later and my tier list has inspired:

>>81152
> rage, sadness, and confusion

>>81082
>Shit tier
>Appa's Lost Days

NO. Appa's Lost Days is on my personal tops list. In conjunction with that, The Desert.
