The Waterbending Master

The group finally arrive at the Northern Water Tribe, a spectacular ice city full of majestic temples and canals; eager to begin training, Aang and Katara meet Master Pakku.

The Water Tribe is so cool! I love how they use their bending abilities to function. So many people have to hide their abilities and seeing an entire tribe relying on their water bending was like being able to glimpse what the past might have looked like before the Fire...

The Northern Air Temple

After hearing a story about surviving Airbenders, the group head to the Northern Air Temple in search of Aang's people.

It was fascinating to see how people use technology rather than magic to function. I do wish aspects of the Air Temple had been preserved though. It was sad seeing such a sacred place being decimated.

The Deserter

Eager to learn Firebending, Aang convinces Katara and Sokka to attend a Fire Nation cultural festival in disguise. Along the way, they meet a former Fire Nation soldier.

It was nice to see a bit of the Fire Nation culture that doesn't have to do with war. It's also a great plot twist to see Aang struggle with his skills, since he's often a natural at bending.

Hey everyone! Dune has been such a highly talked about film and I was so excited to sit down and watch it!

Paul Atreides and his family accept a stewardship over the planet Arrakis. The planet is an inhospitable desert wasteland. There is only one ...

Ultron continues with his plans after having successfully transferred his consciousness into Vision's body. The Watcher must break his oath. Hopefully, the Guardians of the Multiverse can save the day!

This show is AMAZING! I didn't realize that this was the season finale until it was over. I'm sad that season 1 is over. This is my favorite of all the MCU shows we've seen together. I'm so glad there is a season 2.

Episode 14: The Fortuneteller

A village fortune teller makes a prediction that Katara will marry a powerful bender. Aang overhears the prediction, and assumes that he is Katara's future husband.

Love is in the air!! I am so excited that they are incorporating a little romance in this show. I can't wait to see how that all plays out!

Also, we have to give some credit to Sokka in this episode. He is a skeptic in a world of magic, but sometimes his pessimistic ...

Episode 12: The Storm

A powerful storm brings up painful memories of the past, and puts everyone in jeopardy in the present.

We learned so much about Aang and Zuko's past! It was such a pleasure being able to get a deeper look at their lives before the show started. Seeing how Zuko got his scar and was banished was heartbreaking. Also, seeing how Aang was asked to grow up way too fast made me better understand why he wanted to hold onto his childhood.

Episode 11: The Great Divide

Aang and friends come to the rim of a giant canyon and must guide two rival groups of refugees across. It seems that this will be no easy task.

Watching Aang step into a greater position of leadership was so lovely. There is a philosophical dilemma that this episode brings up. Is it okay to lie? Utilitarians would argue that lying is okay, so long as it benefits society. Some would argue lying is wrong regardless of the circumstances. ...

An American soldier called Killmonger rescues Tony Stark when his Humvee is suddenly attacked in Afghanistan.

It's wild to see how great Killmonger is at strategizing to get what he wants! He is a seriously intelligent and seemingly unstoppable character. It was so fun being able to see a young Princess Shuri as well!
