Book 3: Chapter 6: The Avatar and the Firelord
Come on an auditory adventure with the Ember Island Podcast (Leslie and Barbara) as we analyze, review, and rave about every episode of Avatar: The Last Airbender (and The Legend of Korra) from start to finish!
This episode's discussion includes: Aang's emergency spirit call from Roku, the framing of this episode compared to The Storm, why Zuko is a light sleeper, Zuko's invisible ink destiny scroll makes no sense and it makes Barbara angry, Toph can feel hundreds of empty houses and graves under the volcano and can somehow sleep at night, how Zuko's surroundings make him look small and alone, the awesome dragon catacombs, how Roku and Sozin both tell the truth in their stories from their different perspectives, Roku and Sozin were best bros, how condensing the story of a lifetime in twenty minutes somehow works well, how smart Avatar is with showing relationships, Roku and Sozin's fight for power and dominance, Roku unleashes the Avatar State onto Sozin and doesn't talk to him for twenty five years, Roku's roll in the 100 year war, Spirit World appearance theories, Roku/Sozin/Zuko's crown prince crown metaphors, Roku's tragic final acts and Sozin's final betrayal, Fang being a good boy and we're both sad, Roku's death to Aang' birth, Sozin's Roku-hate fueled Avatar paranoia and Zuko's banishment, Zuko's internal war and mixed legacy impacting his destiny of restoring balance, "Is this the push Zuko needs to commit to the good side?", Iroh and Zuko's imprisoned framing, the message of choice, we rewrite the episode, and a friendship so strong it transcend lifetimes (and us gushing over it).
