Avatar: The Last Airbender is more than just another children's show, and its epic and philosophical finale cemented its place in TV history.
resolutely refused to be a breezy, episodic kids’ show. It was a serialized adventure story with deep intentionality from its very first episode, and the fact that its finale resolves the conflict from that very first episode marks it as a masterpiece of the form. Back in 2005, nobody saw this one coming, but kids born during the show’s run have now grown up in the cartoon landscape it created.
But, in a way that really shows how deeply the show integrated its Eastern philosophy, so too does the show’s least serious character, Sokka. Sokka is the only member of Aang’s group who isn’t a bender: He’s just a guy. He begins the show as a braggart and something of a chauvinist; one early episode features him getting rocked by a group of female warriors founded in honor of the Earth Kingdom’s last avatar, and it teaches him not to be a sexist jerk.
The show features dozens more memorable characters and arcs, and going into them all would be impossible. But it also featured a finale that shook the pillars of the world and sent its characters off in style.Nothing short of an epic four-part finale would do for a show themed around the four elements, and “Sozin’s Comet” is a two-hour TV movie jam-packed with extreme emotion and the kind of destruction you see in a Godzilla movie.
