Avatar Book 3 Episode 3
Avatar Book 3 Episode 1
Ahead of 2010's blockbuster-to-be The Last Airbender, we're revisiting the Peabody-winning cartoon serial from which it got its name, Avatar. The Southern Air Temple First, a disclaimer: at times I will be making a bit of a deal out of the fact that Avatar was the recipient of a 2008 Peabody Award. I can't help it. If you're unfamiliar with the Peabody Awards, they are made to celebrate excellence in radio and television.
Last year, when Avatar was honoured, the committee said this about the show: 'Unusually complex characters and healthy respect for the consequences of warfare enhanced this American-made, anime-influenced martial-arts adventure.' The big part of that is 'consequences of warfare', and it's something that Avatar explores thoroughly throughout its three seasons. The pilot hinted at the consequences of a wartime society lacking male role models, but it never became the main focus - there was penguin sledding and lots of other fun to have! In episode three, The Southern Air Temple, the cost of the hundred-year war becomes the main focus. With Katara and Sokka in tow, Aang returns to the Southern Air Temple, his old stomping grounds from a century ago to see what his home has turned into.
Of course, a hundred years have passed, leaving very little of Aang's (first) youth there: no monks, no flying bisons, really only empty temples and a disused airball court. (I wonder how exactly you play this game? It makes about as much sense as Quiddich!) Katara lightly warns Aang that the Fire Nation may have wiped out the Airbenders, but Aang works around denying this with his regular positive stance, claiming that the Fire Nation would have never made it to the Air Temples without the use of a flying bison. In a flashback, we are introduced to Monk Gyatso, Aang's cheerful-looking mentor, who says that Aang should have been told he would be Avatar at age sixteen, not age twelve as he was. (Hmmm.) He also says that within the Air Temple's sanctuary, a spirit will guide him in his journey.

Avatar The Last Airbender Book 3 Episode 3
So, of course, the gang heads for the sanctuary, where we are introduced to the reincarnation cycle of the Avatars via a number of statues, all of whom have come from the four nations. This means that Aang is the reincarnation of Avatar Roku, a Firebender, one of the first signs that the Fire Nation aren't always the bad guys. And then, lemur! Sokka, hungry as ever, chases the lemur - one of the last inhabitants of the Air Temple - while Aang chases after him as protection. In all of this tomfoolery, Aang stumbles upon Gyatso's skeleton, surrounded by Fire Nation bodies, the final proof that the Fire Nation did trigger a genocide of the Airbenders. In an outpouring of grief, Aang triggers his Avatar spirit and works on destroying the rest of the Temple.
