#62: Avatar: Bloodbending
So, we all agreed that Avatar: The Last Airbender is the greatest animated American TV show ever, right? The writing and animation were absolutely on point, and it was a show that could definitely handle being hilariously funny, seriously thought-provoking, or heart-rendingly poignant.
Or it’s just sort of terrifying, as was the case for the episode in which the Gaang meets a water bender who has developed a technique called blood bending that turns out to be quite dark. This fan theorizes that this dark and dangerous power can be directly blamed for the death of Sokka and Katara’s mother.
