On its own, however, it is a whole lot less electrifying even though it still manages to remain compelling the whole way through due to its many ideas that would receive better opportunities to be expanded upon in the future. Paired with part 2 this chapter definitely works as a strong buildup. Its real highlight moment that caused a stir of speculation had to do with Uncle Iroh as the audience discovered that more people than just the Avatar can see spirits outside of their homeworld. The real event these two episodes focus on is the upcoming Winter Solstice Aang is told to utilize, except part one sadly falls victim to being the chapter that is forced to succumb to the events that escalate to the exciting back half. Parts 1 and 2 are practically completely different chapters even though they revolve around the same location, the spirit world. The Winter Solstice story arc works far better as a back-to-back two-parter rather than single episodes- that really is a statement subjected to the first half though. Chapter 7, Winter Solstice Part 1: The Spirit World For a show that constantly brings several surprises to the table, it is shocking how typical this story unfolds. The character himself may not have been as well developed as he could have been during his debut, but he certainly had a hard-earned redemption in book two. Although the episode initially starts off interesting with its Robinhood-like charm, it ends on a rather bland note as we see how Jet’s darker viewpoint of life causes him to go too far to take down Fire Nation soldiers. Chapter ten unquestionably has a strong moral and a likable cast of newcomers that would return on several occasions later down the line, but it is shrouded with a predictable outcome that affects the payoff viewers would hope to find in a scenario that was more well built up than its unfortunate foreseeable ending. Jet is a character with a great overarching story, however, his first standalone episode does not land as perfectly as it could have- at least for Avatar quality when it comes to introducing and developing reoccurring minor heroes and villains. His final decision can be compared to numerous lies across real history that solved longtime feuds. Sure Aang’s decision on how he ends the feud between the Ghan Jin and Zhang tribes may be rather questionable, but that does not mean there is absolutely nothing to take away from The Great Divide. For The Last Airbender’s standards, it undeniably does not live up to the respectable themes or relatability that we find in the show’s stories and characters, yet the episode’s narrative can be rather justified from a certain moral standpoint.

While it may be proclaimed as the worst chapter- with even the creators going as far as to take a jab at this entry in the penultimate episode to the four-part series finale- that does not make it a poorly executed television show episode by any means. Chapter 11, The Great Divideįor the largest canyon in the Earth Kingdom, The Great Divide lacks a lot of depth compared to any other episode in Avatar although it also stands as the only filler episode in the series. This is our chapter ranking for the season that kickstarted it all, Book 1: Water. Meanwhile, you can expect veterans of the franchise to likely be on their (insert number) rewatch binge again because any reason to rewatch Avatar: The Last Airbender from start to finish is a good one! What better way to celebrate Team Avatar’s grand return to the world’s largest streaming platform than to rank every single chapter in each book from the least best to the best of the best- and let’s be honest, there are no rotten cabbages within this incredible batch. Now that Aang and gang’s adventures have finally made their way back to Netflix in the United States, many younger viewers will finally get a chance to experience the gratifying world of deep philosophy and fun action that previously captured millions of eyes over ten years ago.
