Cody and I have watched 11 episodes of Avatar so far. I really want to watch more. He's sleeping right now; just got home from his night shift three hours ago. So... we can't. But I really want to. This is one of those series I could totally marathon.
I don't want to go into a lot of detail with my thoughts until I finish the first season - I'll try to do a proper review at that point. But I will say a few things.
1. I like all of the characters who recurr on a regular basis. Even Zuko and Uncle Iroh, despite the fact that they are kinda on the evil side.
2. Sokka needs more love. He is awesome and has most of the best lines so far. It kind of sucks that he doesn't get a big piece of the action, not being a bender and all. Hopefully this will be corrected later. He's probably my favorite character, too.
3. Aang is just too freakin' adorable. What a sweetie! I hope it'll go into his past more. I suspect he's going to end up being more than just 'that happy-go-lucky kid who's going to stumble his way into saving the world'?
4. Katara is pretty cool. Usually characters with her personality type don't leave much impression on me. I really like her, though. She's got more zest to her than the atypical "responsible female".
5. Zuko has a bad haircut. And... I hope the scar will be explained at some point. Other than that, he seems... honorable? I wouldn't be surprised if a change of heart was in store for him later on.
6. I haven't figured out if Iroh is really crafty or starting to go senile. Or both.
7. I really liked those warrior girls in the one episode! I was hoping at least the one would come with them and maybe become Sokka's love interest. Bleh. Oh well. If he does get a love interest, she'd better be badass.
8. Seems obvious to me that Aang and Katara are going to be each others' love interest. It's very cute. Given that I'm marrying a guy two years younger than me, though, I might have a bit of a soft spot for this dynamic. And adolescent romances are just so adorable.
9. I like this world that's been set up - it's very colorful and well designed. And I like the story. Overall, I'm very happy to be watching this. It's cute and funny and has some decent action. Very much looking forward to more!
