  Zuko didn’t run, and everything was stripped away from him. Aang felt like everything was going to be stripped away from him, and so he ran. Every time I watch this episode I’m blown away by how convincingly the creators of this show made Aang and Zuko mirrors of one another

  Correction: They wanted to send in a DIVISION to be sacrificed, not a battalion. Meaning they wanted to sacrifice 12-20 thousand new recruits

  The Storm, Zuko Alone, and the beach are easily like top 5 in the show imo which is fun since they all are mostly about Zuko

  It&apos;s a rule of thumb that any Avatar episode that heavily features flashbacks will be one of the best entries of that season 😊

  Aang is 12 as everyone else has stated, but the monks told him he was the avatar early because of Fire nation expansionist. Traditionally they would inform an avatar at age 16-18.

  this episode still gets me. I remember watching when it aired, being the same age as Aang at that time, and just sitting there. I hated Zuko so much and suddenly I just. couldn&apos;t? It was one of the first shows I can think of that ever challenged my young brain to think past &quot;this is the good guy, he does good things. this is the bad guy, he does bad thing.&quot;

  &quot;The avatar gives Zuko hope&quot; is a great line! This parallel of Zuko and Aang gets set up a lot more obviously as the series progresses, but to see it this early and kinda subtly is really cool. The show transitions motives in super intersting way. Zuko&apos;s goal changes but motive stays pretty consistant? Zuko still hinges hope on Aang even as his goals change, so having Iroh point that out so early makes the transition of Zuko&apos;s transformation a lot easier. It&apos;s built throughout Zuko&apos;s arc. I agree for sure that this show did so well in part because it allowed it&apos;s characters room to grow in authentic ways! Great video :D (also pls ya&apos;ll I know he asked to be corrected about Aang&apos;s age and stuff and prolly would&apos;ve been best to look up before finishing the script and filming but this is a super great analysis and deserves more said about all the effort that went into it!)

  Aang is 12 and if you want to see an even greater example of how bad the world is and how much common people don’t like the Avatar read the novels and compare how they treat them then and now

  It also has one of my favourite jokes. &nbsp;Sokka: I&apos;m too young to die! &nbsp;Fishmonger: I&apos;m not, but I still don&apos;t wanna!
