Avatar the Last Airbender

It’s hard to imagine Avatar: The Last Airbender without Toph Beifong. She quickly became one of the show’s most popular characters thanks to her confidence, sarcasm, and ability to defeat opponents twice her size. But what many fans don’t realize is that Toph almost looked—and acted—completely different. During the early stages of development, Toph wasn’t […]

One of the biggest questions left behind by The Legend of Korra is where the new airbenders actually came from. After Harmonic Convergence, people across the Earth Kingdom suddenly developed airbending abilities despite having no known connection to the Air Nomads.

You don’t know the characters, you don’t understand the world, and if that first episode doesn’t immediately grab your attention, there’s a good chance you’ll move on to something else. That’s what makes Avatar: The Last Airbender’s premiere episode, The Boy in the Iceberg, so remarkable. In
