+250 points for Dream Aang’s ‘90s shōnen gear. John O'BryanĪ:TLA actively triggers insomniacs with this interlude about Aang’s stress dreams. "Nightmares and Daydreams" (Season 3, Episode 9) w. +50 points for a newly refurbished bed chamber. You really can’t help but love our tattooed flying monk boy after this one. What starts out feeling like an obligatory usage of the Three Trials trope ends up being an entertaining showcase of Aang’s best qualities. "The King of Omashu" (Season 1, Episode 5) w. +200 points for industrial-imperialist comeuppance.
+100 points for a little hill with horns. +50 points for Doc Shoe Bushi’s rise-and-grind lifestyle. The Fire Nation invasion plot takes a backseat for some environmental awareness boosting. "The Painted Lady" (Season 3, Episode 3) w. Unfortunately, the story these episodes tell isn’t all that engaging when taken on its own. The bulk of this two-parter is Spirit World exposition and setting up the stakes for the rest of the series. "Winter Solstice (Parts 1 & 2)” (Season 1, Episodes 7-8) written by A. 150 points for banal tribalism clichés.Ĥ8. It’s true that this episode doesn’t have any real point, direction, or relevance with the rest of the series, but its biggest crime is that it’s one of the two A:TLA comedy episodes without consistently good jokes. Is this episode really as bad as every A:TLA fan who tells you to skip it says it is? Or is it yet another underappreciated Season 1 gem? I lean towards the former. "The Great Divide" (Season 1, Episode 11) written by John O'Bryan 25 points for the sexist flattening of our main characters.Ĥ9. 25 points for a very convenient volcanic eruption. Considering how spirituality informed the rest of the show is, one would believe an episode titled “The Fortuneteller” would have some fresh observations about prophecy and premonition. This episode is cute, but its cuteness doesn’t make up for its trite jokes. "The Fortuneteller" (Season 1, Episode 14) written by Aaron Ehasz & John O'Bryan
NO AMSN SKY DEFENSE CHIT MOVIE
Remember to applaud directors Giancarlo Volpe, Dave Filoni, Lauren MacMullan, Anthony Lioi, Joaquim Dos Santos, and the animators at JM, Moi, and DR Movie for their essential contributions to the series.ĥ0. For brevity’s sake, I have only credited the writers of each episode as the author. I’ve devised a rigorous system to quantitate the qualitative aspects of the show, and with it, I have ranked all 61 episodes of AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER, based on their objective quality.īefore we begin, a couple notes: Multi-part episodes and episodes which first aired on the same date are being considered as single episodes for the purposes of this list. But how do we objectively locate the best episode of what’s objectively the best series?
NO AMSN SKY DEFENSE CHIT SERIES
It took several years of research, but we now know-objectively-that Nickelodeon’s mid-2000s animated action-adventures series AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER is the best show ever made.
