Avatar: The Last Airbender has some of the most vast and expressive means of power through the form of elemental bending. Users like Aang, Toph, Bumi, and many others portray exactly that. Toph in particular stands out more than others because of her unique usage of earthbending, making up for the limitation that she cannot see.

Abilities such as that of earthbending, sandbending, and metalbending help her become stronger than many of her opponents. That, alongside her charming wit and sass, make her a formidable opponent for the enemies that try to cross her. Her unique insight into various situations and her strong senses apart from that of sight make up for her inability to actually see. However, one of her most interesting abilities may not even be part of earthbending.

Avatar: The Last Airbender has an entire variety of characters who lie on the moral spectrum. Some are morally white while others are blinded by their goals. There are also characters that had an entire arc of their own understanding. To be a character in the fan-favorite series was no less than being an actual person, just with special abilities.

Some of the most complex characters are part of the franchise, bringing about layers upon layers of development and understanding. The show has managed to create bonds not just among characters but also among the fans who watch them. One character, however, is a mystery to this day.

Avatar: The Last Airbender had its second live-action outing with Netflix, taking significant liberties that caused the show to deviate from the source material. One such difference from the source material introduced Azula very early in the story, at a time when she was nowhere to be found in the original.

While fans of the show are largely upset by the change, given that it changes the dynamic between the characters of Azula and Zuko and leaves them lesser for it, Zuko actor Dallas Liu was excited that the writers were able to pull off the rivalry depicted on screen between the siblings, without them having to interact.

We have a bit of good news for the fans who loved Netflix’s live-action adaptation of the beloved Nickelodeon animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender, as the streaming giant has just renewed the fantasy adventure series for two more seasons in advance.
Based on an animated series of the same name by Michael Dante Dimartino and Bryan Konietzko, the Netflix live-action series is set in a world that is divided by four nations – Air Nomads, the Earth Kingdom, the Water Tribe, and the Fire Nation. All of the Nations are fighting a 100-year war against the Fire Nation, who are trying to conquer and rule the whole world. The three nations might get a chance at winning this war if the prophesized Avatar reappears, who has been missing for 100 years.

Netflix’s Avatar: The Last Airbender is a live-action adaptation series of the original animated series from 2005. Revolving around the story of Aang the Avatar, who needs to master the four elemental powers to fight and save the world at war, it stars Gordon Cormier, Kiawentiio Tarbell, Ian Ousley, Dallas James Liu, and Elizabeth Yu.
Gordon Cormier as Aang in Netflix’s Avatar: The Last Airbender
While Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, who starred in The Mandalorian (2019) and Kim’s Convenience (2016), played General Iroh in The Last Airbender, reportedly got a minimal salary for every episode. The South Korean-born Canadian actor and television host is best known for his roles as Randy Ko in Train 48 (2003–2005) and as family patriarch Appa in the play Kim’s Convenience (2011) and its television adaptation (2016–2021).

The Avatar: The Last Airbender universe has introduced fans to some of the most intriguing characters to have ever been created. While the leading team including Aang, Katara, Sokka, and Aang’s flying bison Appa, is interesting on its own, there are other characters as well who are more amusing than the rest. One of these is Avatar Kyoshi, whom fans call the most violent airbender.

However, while Kyoshi is highly perceived by the audiences to be the true owner of this title after getting acquainted with all the ruthless acts she pulls in the series, there is another character who is more brutal than her: the Air Nomad before Aang, Yangchen. In fact, Yangchen’s inhumanity goes to such an extent that if the series showed her, Kyoshi would look like a cuddly bear in front of her!

Following in the footsteps of One Piece‘s success, the new adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender debuted on Netflix on 22nd Feb, but unlike the former, it has struggled to appeal to the fans of the IP. But despite not surpassing the bar set by the original show, it was a notable improvement over M. Night Shyamalan’s The Last Airbender, and it’s reasonable to assume this isn’t the last of it.
With the first season being a massive hit, racking in more than 22.2 million views within just four days after its premiere, it’s safe to say a sequel will be underway soon. And this could allow fan-favorite Mark Hamill to star in the live-action version, who has previously shown interest in working with the IP.

Azula is arguably one of the most psychologically interesting characters in Avatar: The Last Airbender. Posing as one of the key antagonists in the series, her descent into madness was a spectacle that was almost difficult to watch. There are many reasons why a character as masterful, calculating, and smart as her, turned into an erratic and reckless leader who led to her own downfall.
Azula in Avatar: The Last Airbender
Her entire life was a constant power struggle, trying to prove to her father and herself that she was worthy of the empire of Fire Lord Ozai. On top of this, there are layers of insecurity and constant use of fear as a form of gaining loyalty, which made her the way that she was. However, many could argue that it all can be traced down to one moment; the betrayal of Mai and Ty Lee.

This article contains spoilers for Netflix’s Avatar: The Last Airbender.
It’s easy to call every main character in the original Avatar: The Last Airbender a fan favorite but master Earthbender Toph Beifong deserves special mention because she earned that status with only 2/3’s of the screen time. Introduced near the start of season two, she won over the hearts of viewers the moment she mocked “The Boulder,” a big and brutish fighter, with the sickest nickname ever: “The Pebble.” How could you not love this small girl who just destroys someone with two words and backs it up with the most impressive Earthbending yet seen in the series?
Toph quickly established herself as a core part of the cast, also notable for her status as a rare blind lead character in television. She even invented an entire form of bending all her own! With Toph being such an important character,...

By now, those of you reading this site have no need to be reminded of the greatness of Nickelodeon's animated "Avatar: The Last Airbender" series -- we've written as much in detail time and again, after all. The elemental story of Aang and his friends joining together to battle the evil of Fire Lord Ozai is the stuff of legend, having gained countless fans during its original airing on Nickelodeon and in the years since. Although that viewership is exactly the demographic most leery about any further adaptations of that story, especially in live-action, Netflix is nevertheless forging ahead with their own spin on the classic tale (even after the poorly-received news that the Netflix series had parted ways with the show's original creators over "creative direction").
But one way to win fans back is to further flesh out the already-impressive cast with even more big names and fan-favorites...
