What’s Avatar: The Last Airbender about?
Aang (Gordon Cormier) the last Airbender and his friends Katara (Kiawentiio) and Sokka (Ian Ousley) from the Water Tribe must save the world by defeating Fire Lord Ozai (Daniel Dae Kim) and ending the destructive war with the Fire Nation.
Season one ended with Aang and his companions stopping the Fire Nation — led by Prince Zuko (Dallas Lee) , his uncle Iroh (Paul Sun-Hyung Lee),and Commander Zhao (Ken Leung) — from destroying the Northern Water Tribe, but it was a distraction from the larger war.
Zuko’s sister, Princess Azula (Elizabeth Yu), conquered Omashu, one of the two Earth Kingdom cities that had managed to stave off the Fire Nation and took King Bumi (Utkarsh Ambudkar) prisoner.
In the final two seasons, the four nations – Air, Water, Earth, Fire – unite “to bring The Legend of Aang to its proper conclusion”.
Fire Nation:
Fire Nation’s Prince Zuko (Dallas Liu) and Uncle Iroh (Paul Sun-Hyung Lee).
Fire Nation’s Princess Azula (Elizabeth Yu) and Lord Ozai (Daniel Dae Kim).
The Earth Kingdom:
Earthbender Toph (Miya Cech).
TOPH is sassy, confident and unfiltered. For most of her life, her strength and formidable earth bending skills have been suppressed, but now on the run as the Avatar’s earth bending master she is uninhibited to become the fierce warrior she believes she is inside.
