Noel, Allison, and Kate continue Streaming In Place with Avatar: The Last Airbender season three, episodes four and five, “Sokka’s Master” and “The Beach.” When did Sokka get this close to our cold, detached hearts? And how about Aang’s armor, and Toph’s meteorite bending? Plus Noel explains The Beach Episode for Allison and Kate as a significant trope in anime, adding context and even more fun to Zuko and Deathtiny’s Child’s dramatic flame-out in the Ember Island teen social scene. Tune in for our thoughts and come back tomorrow as we discuss episodes six and seven, “The Avatar and the Fire Lord” and “The Runaway.”
Shout-out to our Zoom listeners, Diego, Keenan, Marcus, and Scottie. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on these episodes!
