The Essential Episodes of Avatar: The Last Airbender

Look, I get it. Watching things is hard. No one has the time to watch TV anymore. With all the things that are going on in the world, we need to cut corners. I’m here for you. Avatar: The Last Airbender is one of the greatest shows ever made and just dropped on Netflix. Don’t have time for all three seasons? Well, let’s cut it down to the essentials, shall we?

Book One: Water

We’ll make this pretty easy for you. You need to get introduced to the main characters and the world of Avatar. You need to learn of Aang’s mission and why he needs to defeat the Fire Nation. You need to learn more about the Blue Spirit, and even the stellar Koizilla. This is all revealed in the Water arc. Just watch episodes 1-20.

Book Two: Earth

In Book Two, we have to deal with the repercussions of the first arc. Here Aang has to master water and earth bending and fight to save the Earth Kingdom. He and Prince Zuko have to learn to adapt to their new status quo. The best way to get the full backstory is by watching episodes 21-40.

Book Three: Fire

You hanging in there? You’ve made it to the final season! Team Boomeraang is going to deal the finishing blow to the Fire Nation and (hopefully) liberate the rest of the world. Are you ready to finish this out? You only need to watch episodes 41-61 to get the major plot points.

See? That wasn’t so hard! It’ll only take a little more than a day to get through it. You’ll be glad you did.

Thanks for reading. I’ll be back with more Avatar features soon. Stay flamin’.
