On this episode of the podcast our hosts Cody, Tierra, and Tim take an in depth look at episode twelve of the first season of the animated series Avatar: The Lat Airbender. The three of them remind us that we can let the trauma of our past shape us but we should never let it rule us and that we should never use past trauma as an excuse to hurt people in the present. They also cover a wide variety of other subject matter including: the power of positive role models, how when we suppress our emotions they often times come out in unhealthy ways, the bonfire as a symbol of sharing, how actions always speak louder than words, the power of found family, how you don’t owe anybody forgiveness for their actions, finding out who you really are by confronting adversity head on, letting the viewer form their own opinions on the characters in a story before overloading them with backstory, the comparisons between Zuko and Aang, and they attempt to answer the questions is Azula the ultimate evil force within the show? and Does she deserve a redemption arch?
