the fall of azula is one of the best written story arcs in cartoon history and i will stand by this comment forever
you know another thing i really love about this scene? despite knowing their martial art and acrobatic prowess, azula still underestimated and looked down on mai and ty lee. the audience knows mai has the precision to cut and kill—and she was ready to do it. but ty lee chose to disarm and temporarily paralyze azula with the one tool she always has at her disposal (firebending) with two unsuspectingly swift hits. those skillsets are terrifying. people kept saying they (nonbenders) were mediocre compared to benders but atla made sure non-benders could be just as much of a threat as any bender.
The Fire Nation is threatened by a prophecy told by the Kemurikage--mysterious figures thought only to exist in legend--remove Zuko from the throne or the country will perish!
Avatar Aang and his friends escort Zuko and his family back to the capitol completely unaware of the looming threat growing in the city. Unrest is brewing as the New Ozai Society prepares to make its move against the crown, and children begin to go missing from their homes under mysterious circumstances!
PART 2:
(December 29)
With the disappearances of children in the Fire Nation Capitol, Avatar Aang and his friends are doing everything they can to find out what is going on.
Aang and Zuko must work together to keep the peace but the emergence of the New Ozai Society and the mysterious Kemurikage from legend appearing may prove to be too much even for the Avatar when the true culprit of the kidnappings is revealed!
PART 3:
(April 12)
Children are disappearing in the Fire Nation capitol! Avatar Aang and his friends are doing everything in their power to save them--but will it be enough?!
What's worse, when Azula--the mad sister of Fire Lord Zuko--appears on the scene, Zuko locks down the capitol to catch her, igniting fear and riots in the streets! Will Zuko follow in his evil father's footsteps in order to save those he holds dear?!
I was going to make a post consisting entirely of jokes that are only funny if you’re familiar with The Silmarillion but it never happen. THIS IS WHAT YOU GET INSTEAD
