Every Avatar the Last Airbender Episode Ranked

You know Avatar is a masterpiece when you think almost every episode on the list should be rated higher.

The tale of toph and katara hits more when you realize toph could tell if katara was lying.

I think that The Painted Lady is important because it shows that fire nation isn't prosperous all around and that its own citizens suffer because of their war.

Everyone hates The Painted Lady, but I loved that episode. Showed how the Fire Nation's war has decimated even the villages in its own homeland. And any time they gave Katara to be a badass was well worth it.

“I’m not the biggest fan of Appa.” Don’t tell Aang that. He’d kick your ass.

I have a soft spot for The Headband. I think the jokes in that episode are iconic, especially Sokka as Wang Fire

The Southern Raiders gets 40?!?! I think it's one of the top 10 episodes for me because of MANY reasons. You get to see how Katara's and Zuko's relationship goes from her trusting him in Ba Sing Se, to him willing to go to any extent to regain her trust. Also, the BLOODBENDING!! You get to see the horror in Zuko's eyes when he finds out Katara can bloodbend. It's such a powerful scene which is really overlooked upon. And the way he is in awe of what Katara can do when they face the guy. It shows the development of Katara's skills so so well. It shows how far she has come from the first episode. Also I love how they showed the guy who killed Katara's mother - he's just living a boring life, and he has a commanding mother, and he's sick of it and he literally has nothing in his heart. The line where he's like "I'm so sorry, you deserve revenge, maybe you could take my mother?" (idk I'm not sure what the exact quote is). Alsoooooo it shows how Team Avatar saves Zuko after Zuko's and Azula's fight, but Azula has to save herself. It reinforces how Azula spirals down in the final episode and in the comics after the show. Azula being feared, and not likeable is one of her weakest points. And the way Zuko is concerned when she's falling: "She's... not gonna make it. [...] Of course she did." It ties in so well with the comic Smoke and Shadow where Zuko is telling Ursa that if nothing else, Azula knows how to survive. Plus the episode shows how Zuko can finally be happy and funny with Team Avatar. Another thing I love about the episode is Aang's advice to Katara. It shows his character so well. And of course, Sokka being the comedic relief character when he expects Suki to come, but Zuko shows up instead. Every. Single. Second. Of that episode. Is so. Perfectly. Created.

"The Headband" is actually a pretty good episode, it shows that Fire Nation children are normal innocent people before being indoctrinated by their school with Fire Nation propaganda. Also it's nice to see Aang loosen up and be a kid again, after getting his Avatar State blocked by Azula's lightning.

Re: Sokka’s misogyny, I agree that the payoff would have been better if the arc took a bit longer, but I think it would have been a bad idea for a kid’s show to have one of its main characters being *that* sexist for any longer than it did.

I think The Desert is by far the most underrated episode of Avatar. It really shines a light on how important Appa is to the team. Not just as a mode for transportation, but what keeps Team Avatar together. When he's gone, they struggle. A lot. I especially love Aang's grief in this episode. He's so distraught he can barely talk to his friends without getting angry, and my jaw dropped when he killed that buzzard because his pacifist morals took a backseat when he was so blinded by his own rage. This is also a super good Katara episode. She's clearly the mother of the group, and some people criticize her for that. But I think this episode really brings out some of the best of that nature, forcing her to carry the team when they're all falling apart. And her face when she pulls Aang down from his Avatar state flip out says it all: everyone's tired of this suffering, especially Katara, as she lets Aang cry on her shoulder. Also, cactus juice will never not be funny for me. 8/10

The Beach will and always be probably my favorite. I love seeing villains being humanized in media, it is massive for all of their redemptions/fallouts and that campfire scene is just perfection. This show just does exposition and flashbacks in some of the best storytelling ways ever

Crossroads of Destiny is my hands down favorite. On the best season finales of all time. It really is the empire strikes back of this show. Azula launches herself to the mount rushmore of tv villains, the battle is probably among the best in the entire show, the killing of the avatar state is an amazing development and of course there is the absolute gut-punch of Zuko siding against team avatar. Its subverting expectations AND also not out of character for him. He is just not there yet. It is so good and layered and extremely well written and makes you so desperately want to see whats next. It is the ultimate testament that this is not just a kid's show.

It's not acknowledged by the show or needs to be, but Sokka's sexism arc has been poetically completed by the finale as he's working with two strong and capable girls (Toph and Suki) and depending on them, which he would've laughed at a year prior.

I really liked how Roku just went "Fuck the cycle, dude, we don't have time. You fucking teach that kid firebending!" And my personal favorite episode is Into the Inferno, just because of the Final Agni Kai.

The Puppetmaster is one of my favourite episodes in the show, because I love learning just how far you can stretch your bending, just what exactly the limits are. Which makes me sad, because Katara doesn't use these for the rest of the show. Ignoring the fact that she blood-bends only once, since she's a nice person, she doesn't draw water from plants or people around her, she doesn't draw water from the air, none of it. She has 2 moments of being creative with how she gets water: her sweat and blood-bending, and she only does EACH of these once. Bitter Work is also really good, since I love the idea of learning ways of using one form of bending by observing another. That's part of why Crossroads of Destiny (or is it the episode before?) holds a special place in my heart: Zuko firebends by waterbending "This episode also includes Toph inventing metalbending because she fucking feels like it" Ah, Toph being Toph. Fuckin' love her Day of Black Sun, Part 1, is also one of my favourite episodes, purely because Iroh pulls a "I like you, don't come to school tomorrow"

I used to dislike the desert episode (S2E11). The problem / emotional chaos was somewhat too much for me. However, rewatching it as an adult, I really admire Katara’s maturity, and I grew loving this episode! She shines while Sokka and Momo were high on cactus juice, Toph couldn’t see on the sand, and Aang was coping with losing Appa. I mean.. Remember earlier when Toph first joined the gaang and being selfish carrying her own weight which triggered Katara so much during the Chase (S2E8)? Well, I think Aang basically did the same on the desert when he left the gaang briefly in search for Appa. Katara didn’t get angry about Aang leaving and was focused more on surviving and getting the rest of the gaang to safety. Later when Aang rejoined, Katara was also understanding and empathetic. She wasn’t triggered and didn’t lash out like when she was to Toph. Probably because Katara knew how important Appa is to Aang. She tried to navigate the desert using the stars and map from the library when normally Sokka does this. She remained calm when Aang freaked out after acquiring a little bit of water from the cloud. She helped Toph shoot rocks at the buzzerwasps. And most importantly, she stays and comfort Aang when he went full Kyoshi during their encounter with the sandbenders. Oof, I wish I can be this mature. “ We’re getting out of this desert and we’re going to do it together. Aang, get up! Everybody, hold hands! We can do this. *we have to.* “ CHILLS

“I’m angry at myself!” - Zuko So powerful, that campfire scene is so pivotal in Zuko’s story!

The Desert is criminally underrated apparently. Imo its a top 10 episode of the entire series

22:02 "You miscalculated. I love Zuko more than I fear you" One of the coldest lines in the season

The last agni kai never fails to give me goosebumps and bring tears to my eyes. You hit it right on the head. It’s just a masterpiece within this masterpiece of a show.

nightmares and daydreams is where the animators got to just have fun with the episode. i think it's fantastic

I don't see Katara as jealous in the Kyoshi warriors so much as annoyed that not one of her friends will listen to her and leave before something bad happens like Zuko finding them...Like she said in the beginning of the episode..

Idk why the painted lady is so hated, Katara yelling "No, I will never EVER turn my back on people who need me" was such a powerful moment for me as a kid that I have always liked her ever since

I'm always flabbergasted when people wonder about the realism of Zuko's getting sick. People can feel physically ill because they think they should be, or if something upsets them a lot. Some throw up when you *talk* about something particularly upsetting! Maybe it's just because it's something I've been through. Sometimes the subconscious stuff in our head does some crazy stuff.

The southern raiders should be wayyy higher on the list.

On a side note I’d personally put Hama’s bloodbending episode higher on my list since the ending was so well foreshadowed at the start of the episode and it really pushed the boundaries in terms of what you could get away with in terms of the tone for a kids show!

"no firelord ozai, YOU'RE not wearing any pants" is one of the best moments in the entire series and i will stand by that

Zuko exlpoding about being mad at himself in The Beach is probably my favorite character building moment in all of fiction.

I respectfully disagree with Tales of Ba Sing Sa as #1. I've always thought Finale part 3 was the obvious best episode. Don't get me wrong the Tale of Iroh is probably the best 4 min in the whole show (a close contender would be the Final Agni Kai) but the rest of the tales seem like they get overrated just to lift this episode higher up people's rankings. Sokka and Aang's stories are overall pretty boring. Katara and Toph's story is ok. Momo's story is cleverly written as a short preview of Appa's lost days but still just good. Zuko's Tale is interesting and needed for his character growth but I can't help thinking how Zuko lighting the candles felt out of character for him. He got mad at Uncle Iroh for warming up his tea but Zuko goes and performs a fire bending performance in the middle of a courtyard. Hard to imagine no one saw it or that Jin wasn't smart enough to figure out Zuko was a firebender. The overall episode is so good in one 4 minute sequence that on repeat viewings of the episode I sometimes go straight to the Iroh tale and skip the rest of the episode. Maybe watch the Zuko and/or Momo one but definitely skipping the others. I'd still put it in my top 5 though I'm not crazy.

Wow. Some real hot takes in here. I really think Tales of Ba Sing Se is overrated. It was written as a filler episode, and while it's pretty great and manages to add something to the show, it definitely feels like one. The only tale that really stands out is Irohs.

Fun fact: you can actually get sick from too much stress. I would say switching sides would cause enough stress that you would get pretty sick, so Zuko getting sick after switching sides isn't too out of question from reality

The Headband is one of my favorite episodes because it shows how strict fire nation schools are and how much propaganda they feed the kids. Aang with the dance party would probably be the first taste of freedom for those children and may start to shift their views. Also, "Flamey-O, Hotman" is incredible

i think Ozai’s scenes in part 3 and part 4 of the finale are underrated. the most terrifying scene in the whole show is when he uses the comet to begin razing the earth kingdom, imo. then his reaction to seeing the avatar, the only person in the world who could possibly challenge him and someone his family for generations had been searching for, is priceless. his challenging of aang before the fight was great, as was his hyper aggressive fighting styling which he paired with constant verbal attacks. it was a really great performance and direction for the final villain of the show.

I think this was a great breakdown and you cant make everyone happy but your knowledge is impressive and I think you gave a fair assessment overall thank you for the wonderful video

Aang's dilemma in The Old Masters makes perfect sense. Yeah, the Fire Nation genocided his people, and yes, Gyatso killed a bunch of Fire Nation soldiers in self-defense, but Aang is the *last* airbender. He doesn't have the luxury of killing the Firelord if he also wants his culture to endure. The airbenders being ambushed did. If they had won, any airbenders who didn't have to resort to taking lives would be able to carry on the tradition unencumbered with having violated a core principle. If Aang kills the Firelord, as far as he knows, and from his position, the genocide of his culture would be complete, and it would die with him still alive. That's a horrible fate to endure. And that's a real thing to struggle with balancing. It's also possible that him being 12, even as a master of the technique of airbending, he may not yet have learned the nuance of the pacifism in Air Nomad culture. His view of it might be understandably juvenile. But that's the only view he's got, and he's got no airbender to talk to about it to change that outlook.

I love the season 1 “goofiness” because it shows Aang’s maturity that we later see throughout the show.

because atla seems to be universally adored, i always enjoy seeing different, well-informed opinions. real fans of the show shouldn't watch this video to compare your opinions to theirs but to use it as an opportunity to see things a little differently

Disappointed to see The Drill so low. I absolutely loved the video and the effort it took to put this together, and since it's television it's ok that people have other opinions and such. But I thought I'd share an opinion of my own. The Drill has so much to offer, some of the best combat in the entire series, a pivotal plot point where the Fire Nation try to literally end the entire war right here in this episode. Azula v Aang which is a pretty rare duel, and the climax is one of the best out of any episode in my opinion. Not to mention it comes back later when the Earth King sees the drill and learns that the war is real. It just fits everything together so well, and AANG RUNS UP AND DOWN A DAMN WALL. I think realistically it's a top 15 episode on merit, but I have personal bias because it was my favorite as a kid so it's top 5 for me.

I liked Jet because of the "Sokka's instincts" jokes, as well as Sokka's statement about honor. Personally, I thought the Fortuneteller was all right because of its social commentary on psychics, as well as some other brilliant Sokka moments. And I think that the writers weren't trying to make it make sense, because of how often psychics are outed as fake. Appa's lost days won an award from an animal rights organization for certain accurate portrayals of animal abuse. 16:49- all the evidence I need that Toph is the greatest Earthbender in the world.

The fact that after so much time avatar is still being discussed or talked about shows how important this series is for most of the young adults today...just a really really well developed series. its timeless.

I really can’t argue with the tale of Iroh being at the top of your list it’s an absolute masterpiece. I ended up introducing my flatmate to this series and he weeped when Iroh was singing at the end just like I did as a kid.

Damn, i thought you were like a 300k youtuber during the video. I dont usually comment much but you sir are underrated. Seeing this video having 800 views hurts my brain because even though i disagree with some of your ratings such as "the southern raiders", which is easily a top 10 for me, i enjoyed this video more than most other. Good luck with your content

I loved the beach episode it’s in my top 5 because it explores the complexity and issues of each character. It starts as the pivotal moment that Zuko starts to make a change and realize what he is doing is wrong

I think the beach is criminally underrated. It’s one of, if not my favourite episode of atla. I love seeing the fire nation squad get some development and portray them as normal teens. It’s kinda heartbreaking that they can’t function in a peaceful setting, especially Azula. It’s hard to think she’s 14, but is so used to war, she cannot function like most people her age. The campfire scene is always an emotional ride and the gang going back to the beach party and wrecking up the house is a satisfying ending on every rewatch

“A fleet of heavily armed, solid metal, Earth-Kingdom-Eradicating machines... also known as blimps” was the funniest line you wrote into this script to me 😂

I’ve always hated Avatar day. I think it’s mostly that I find the just-us system is really weird, not at all entertaining. The Avatar should be a polarising figure, with people who hate him, in all nations. I have no idea why they decided to make those people so silly.

i'm glad to see someone else who acknowledges suki as a full-fledges member of team avatar

Ouch right outta the gate, The Painted Lady is my favorite episode. I like them exploring the fire nation, seeing them more as ppl who need help instead of hating and distrusting them. I feel it serves as an interesting insight into Katara’s character as to the lengths which she will go to do what she believes is right. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I absolutely disagree that the amazing finale of the book two "The Crossroads Of Destiny" is not in top 3 episodes. For me that was the best episode. The way that this episode put the Avatar State Ambiguous was the key aspect of whole season 3.

Southern Raiders is ranked far to low IMO

Something that I really like sokka'a master is that it also shows how much he is the leader of the group that without him they have no idea what to do and how his presence makes them happier they all felt a bit depressed without his goofiness to lift up the spirits

I love the Headband. It’s such a cute yet pivotal episode, even though it’s filler. It shows that fire nation kids are being taught propaganda from such a young age. It shows what goes down in a common fire nation city. I loved that Aang just randomly showed up at a fire nation school for two days and threw a banger party. Oh, and Aang and Katara’s dance scene. Amazing. Also, The Puppet Master is definitely in my top three. It shows how powerful bending can be, with a focus on Katara (who i love). It was so interesting that Katara learned how to bloodbend out of fear of losing Aang and Sokka. And the way she felt bad about it still sent chills down my spine. The whole episode is just so eerie and it’s definitely one of my favorites.

Overall a great video! I disagree with your placement of both the painted lady and imprisoned. They’re not good, by Avatars standards, but they deserve to be higher than at least the great divide and nightmares. The comment section of Overanalysing Avatar’s analysis of the painted lady do a really good job of explaining why so many people disagree with you, and him. I would definitely recommend taking a look, there’s a lot of insights to be gained, both on what redeems it and what could have made it better.

#30: I wouldn't say that Aang struggled with fire bending. On the contrary it looks like he could be quite good at it, if he could stick to the principles Jeong Jeong tried to teach him. Aang could easily bend, and create, fire (if we compare him to when he couldn't even move a pebble when he tried earthbending), but he couldn't control it, yet.

Hot take: the headband is a great episode that characterizes the fire Nation as actually having normal/ good people. Also the Blue Spirit is the best episode!

Freaking crushed this video! I love the insight and humor you bring and really loved reliving the series in under an hour! Thank you!

You know in zuko alone, when he’s walking on the ostrich horse through the field, and there’s these circles with squares in the middle, it shows the first avatar dying there in the legend of korra

Puppetmaster is my personal #1 such a beautiful standalone episode with a creepily good ambiance and worldbuilding

solid analysis. just your recap of iroh’s part in the tales of ba sing se made me tear up. i appreciate your dedication and work towards this video.

The Guru is my favorite episode. “Now, let all of those attachments go. Let them flow down the river, forgotten.” It makes my eyes water all the time. Everything going on with Azula, Toph metal bending… my favorite.

I'm really glad I came across this video. Toward the end I started thinking about making a list myself, and it made me realize how much time this must have taken to make. Really great work and I'm sure the algorithm will bless you soon!

I disagree with most of your hot takes but we agree that Avatar is a masterpiece and there are no bad episodes so I can't be mad

I underestimated the swamp episode, but later found it’s meaning since Aang saw Toph for the first time in the swamp with one of his visions, then later in TLOK, Korra found Toph in the swamp. Of course the whole thing is connected, however it gives you a nostalgic moment where best friends from previous life found each other in the same spot.

The Ember Island Players episode has literally saved me months of rewatching the entire series in my life. Every time I get nostalgic for Avatar, I just rewatch that one episode. Nostalgia quenched. Haha

here from over analyzing avatar good job by the way your really underrated

For me personally, in terms of fight scenes Zuko vs Azula will always be the best because the way they fight was so good. Not to mention Zuko's fighting style is very unique compared to many firebenders and watching that with all that power was incredible.

"That's rough buddy" is my text notification tone. I love when it goes off perfectly with whatever is going on around me and I giggle every time.

Okay, its been a couple months since you updated this video so I'm not sure if you're going to read this but I just wanted to congratulate you. The script quality, the audio and the general feel of the video made this 46 minutes fly by. I don't understand how you only have 1,7k subscribers, it honestly blows my mind. Definitely one of the most underrated youtubers out here. Subscribed!

This video was a masterpiece. A heartwarming trip back through the entirety of the show while also making me cackle numerous times at the expertly written wit and humor in the script. Well done

This is a nice ranking to listen to while I was working. Also noticing the sprinkling of Canadian accent. I like your reasonings and I'm now inspired to rewatch this series.

The work you must have done for this video is impressive. And good work too i might add, i really like the analytic style.

Your Futurama and avatar content is really fun to watch thanks for making these videos

I really like the Guru it’s one of my favorites. It made me reflect on my life and what I’m holding inside. And I think the scene with the guru talking about Aang going through a lot of grief in his life but love has moved in is one the most emotional parts of the show. Makes me cry everytime I watch it

even tho i dont agree with some of what you say, your points are so well explained that it makes me consider every bit of it. really good video! i hope your channel grows more

Phenomenal rankings, I didn't agree with everything but it's hard to argue with your points. It's clear you put a lot of love into this video, and I hope it helps your channel take off!

Thank you for your comments regarding Mae and Jin! I totally agree and am surprised more people don’t feel this way!

Really epic video, dude. I like how you really tried to mesh your personal tastes with objective aspects of the show, and I think you did a fair job ranking them all. I'd disagree with some placements, but hey, tons of people disagree with me. I'm glad you had the courage and love for this show to speak your mind honestly. And thank you for giving The Firebending Masters the credit it deserves, I don't think it's talked about enough. Again, great job, I'll watch more videos from you for sure!

This was absolutely fantastic. Thank you for making this video

I think the point of the painted lady episode was to show that the war has taken as much of a toll on the fire nation as it has on the others. Which is a very important thing that they needed to get across. I also think it furthers katara’s ark, and helps solidify katara and sokka’s sibling relationship. Definitely would be higher on my list. Not my favorite, but definitely doesn’t deserve to be in the bottom 10. Also, half of the bad episodes you say are bad because they’re irrelevant and only contain character development. Character development isn’t relevant to you?

11:32 "Between Hama and Toph, it seems like you can create a new form of bending whenever you want" *Legend of Korra: Hold my cactus juice.*

You deserve a lot more than 1k subscribers. This video is a masterpiece and I was captivated the whole time. This is some great work.

Honestly I don’t think many horror movies scare me, but god damn that scene with koh the face stealer still gives me chills and just gives me a completely unsettling feeling

Thank you so much for this video my man, much appreciated!

Man I still cried when you just showed the scenes of iroh at the end

I know its not a popular opinion but I really like the painted lady and avatar day. Avatar day feels very coen brothers to me with how unreasonable, cowardly and stupid the villagers are. The Painted Lady was the first episode I remember watching as a kid so I have a soft spot for it. And I also like how the moral is that the villagers have to be self reliant. I feel that people oftem forget that Katara did learn that she couldnt be there for everyone. I dont know my reasons arent great its mostly nostalgia and gut feeling but I do feel both episodes are well written

I really like your personality. It sets you apart from other channels that do the same kind of content. You're pretty cool :)

i’m amazed that you named every episode i tend to skip up to and including Jet. you nailed this list

The fortuneteller episode is so out of place. That episode is so important because it give roku a redemption arc through aang. Roku couldn’t save his home village from the volcano when it erupted and when he needed he’s friend the most he turned on him. Aang completely redeems that arc by saving the village with the help of his friends. It’s also one of the first displays of aangs true ability as a master air bender, people like to overshadow the fact that he was the youngest master airbender to exist, even before he knew he was the avatar. This episode is the first display you get of his true power. It’s a beautiful episode

I agree about the Sokka thing. He's one of my favorite characters in the whole show but when I saw them saying that he invented the submarines I was so confused "When would have time to make them?" But then it turned out the inventor just saw sokka's drawing and he actually made them.

you are bang on with all my faves too, great video

14:55 I'd say yes, at least in part. There have been a few situations in my life where making hard decisions has definitely caused me to have a physical reactions. I had stomach aches, headaches and smaller nervous breakdowns for days after quitting my first university or contemplating whether to break up with my girlfriend or not. And if you get a small infection during that time, I'm sure the stress can amplify that into fever dreams and all the stuff we see Zuko go through.

The desert at 55??????? I realise it's about opinions, but I'm sorry what? It's my 3rd favourite episode, and I know I'm not the only one. I can understand why everyone doesn't have it that high, but at least in the top 40. Edit: Ok, the southern raiders at 40. After watching the full video, I can definitely conclude that we have very, very different opinions. We barely fully agree on a single episode, although respect for the Runaway being at 20, it's at 22 for me. One of the most underrated episodes. I feel like you tried to put the 2 parters (and 4) too close together. They don't have to be so close. You could just think they're so close, but I highly doubt it. Winter solstice part 2, is so much better than part 1. The same with the sozin's comet episodes, you even said it yourself. Part 1, my least favourite, is 49 episodes below the 3rd part, my favourite. I doubt you actually think that episode is better than a lot of the episodes below it, but you simply group it with the other episodes. The 2nd part is also way lower for me. I'm not you though obviously, so I might just be wrng, but that is just what I feel like is going on here. Despite how much I disagree with this list, good video, it was very well made, and although I don't agree with most of your reasonings, you still gave understandable arguments. I can't be bothered to spent too much time, writing my arguments for episodes being where they are, but I guess I'll just share my list, which probably has quite a few extremely unpopular opinions, but it's an opinion. If anyone wants me to explain why an episode is where it is, just ask, I'll probably answer. I've also worked on and changed this list over like 15 months, so it's a very well thought out list. Something might very well change soon, idk. 61. The great divide (Season 1 episode 11) 60. Winter solstice part 1, the spirit world (S1 ep7) 59. Nightmares and daydreams (S3 ep9) 58.

I gotta say this is a really great ranking, although I might disagree with very few parts, but anyway, you really did a very damn good video. Also, this made me appreciate again the animation and artistic value of this show, which is outstanding for one that was made for TV in the 2000s, so props to the people at JM Animation for that, because they absolutely killed it.

This is just beautiful and made me cry! A+ work with this!

The firebending masters is probably my fav ugh, its like the first time the show presented fire in a different way. the whole culture of the sun warriors is so beautiful and I get chillsssss when the dragons come out

This video was great, I hope you blow up soon! You deserve it

"Another highlight of this episode is Toph developing metalbending just because she fucking feels like it." I adore Iroh with all my heart, but damn if Toph isn't right up there with him. What an icon

Wow I love this video very good and well thought out can u please do one for the logand of koora
