In honor of the completion of Nickelodeon’s Avatar: The Last Airbender animated TV series, here are nine moments from the epic saga that shine brighter than the rest:
9. “It’s important that you be prepared for anything!” (Book 1 Chapter 5)
8. The Firebending Masters shoot colored flames (Book 3 Chapter 13)
7. Aang becomes a giant water monster to fight the Fire Nation (Book 1 Chapter 20)
6. Katara learns bloodbending and fights Hama (Book 3 Chapter 8)
5. Sokka and Momo trip on cactus juice (Book 2 Chapter 11)
4. Suki captures the Warden at Boiling Rock prison (Book 3 Chapter 15)
3. Wan Shi Tong’s Spirit Library (Book 2 Chapter 10)
2. “Flameyo Hotman!” (Book 3 Chapter 2)
1. Aang energybends to take away Fire Lord Ozai’s bending ability (Book 3 Chapter 21)
I co-wrote this list with Justique. She nominated a few moments I never would have thought of (see numbers 9, 4, and 1), while I definitely had a few that weren’t at the top of her list (in particular, number 3). Then, of course, there were a few unanimous nominations that couldn’t be denied (especially numbers 8, 5, and 2).
It’s all in your court now, M. Night Shyamalan. If you’re going to write, produce, and direct the live action Airbender movies, you better be on the ball. Don’t @#$% this one up!!!

Why the Top 9? Because 10 is too many and 9 is better. 3 X 3 = Awesome. Now that’s what I call math.






I’ll second #10, #6, and #5. Oh, I definitely agree regarding Shyamalan. Don’t eff this up!
#10? Neal, this is The Top 9. There is no #10!!! Are you tripping on cactus juice?
uhm yes?
then let me get some of that
