Avatar the last airbender season 2 episode 9 full episode series#
This leads to the two groups teaming up to capture our heroes, leading to an interesting scene where Zuko tries to get information out of Katara (teasing her with her mother’s bracelet) while pulling the pirates’ bluff by threatening to destroy the scroll.The television series Avatar: The Last Airbender was followed by an event called Avatar Extras, where selected episodes included various text pop-ups that provided commentary on the events in the episodes. What made the link between the pirates and the Fire Nation villains? Well, bargains, of course! Iroh goes in looking for a bargain and Zuko overhears the pirates talking about Team Avatar’s thievery of the Waterbending scroll. To summarise quickly: Iroh lost his favourite Pai Sho tile, so they headed to the nearest market. Zuko and Iroh were back in this episode, and it was the uncle’s faffing about that found them close to the Avatar. Sure, she mastered the water whip in the end, but it’s got to be at the back of her head from this point. There’s an interesting idea about what actually is ‘yours’ and what isn’t, and the episode dealt with it in an interesting way, with Katara learning that she wasn’t entitled to Waterbending skills because of who she was. It made sense for her to steal the waterbending scroll from the ship, especially when you take into consideration she was stealing back something for her tribe. Her failure to work as well as her friend Aang made her look somewhat unreasonable considering Aang’s Airbending past, but the jealousy was relatable. The focus of the episode was on Katara’s frustration with Aang’s Waterbending skills, especially when she was the teacher. Through some really exciting action and the challenges brought to Katara and Aang’s friendship, the episode overrode my pirate-itis. That show would just irritate the hell out of me.) And the pirates weren’t that different or interesting, really, aside from the fact that they all looked oddly effeminate, so this episode could have been a total washout for me. (It’s for this same reason as an uppity killjoy that I’ve never bothered to watch OnePiece. Yeah, eyepatch, parrot, right, okay, “arr”. Pirates have never been my favourite thing to watch in pop culture because, really, I think it gets old really quickly. And everyone knows you don’t steal from pirates. So, in a very un-Katara moment, she steals it. It also would help Katara become a better Waterbender herself, seeing how she feels ostracised by Aang’s natural skills with water.

One of those heirlooms turns out to be an ancient scroll containing ancient Waterbending techniques that would help Aang greatly in becoming the Avatar. the suspicious-looking ship full of stolen heirlooms appeals to him. Aang, however, likes buying tat, as shown by his purchase of a seemingly useless bison-shaped whistle, so. The pirates came into the plot after Team Avatar headed into a nearby town to gain supplies. But The Waterbending Scroll offered new twists on already familiar characters and shenanigans and a pretty great chase down a river by… pirates! Sure, there were irritating flaws, most obvious being the total abandonment of the great Zuko-alone cliffhanger at the end of Avatar Roku (seriously, so lame.
