I get the idea that naruto is a lot looser

it is much looser

people are born with up to 3 elements

And a given character's powers can follow any sort of gimmick needed for a fight scene

i never finished naruto but they pulled a lot of stuff out from nowhere

the final arc has the two main characters becoming essentially natural 6 element users

and the final boss is a space alien

Just like avatar

really?

No

But the moon is a character

naruto goes to the moon in a canon movie

fights another space alien up there

I wouldn't call avatar grounded

Sokkas first girlfriend became the moon

That’s rough buddy

But, it never gets even close to that

The moon is a fish

Not anymore

Well yeah

Tui and la, moon and ocean, push and pull, yin and yang

Nvm

Yue became a second moon spirit I believe though

That’s what I gathered at least

Something or other

Instead of korra they should have shown Kiyoshis story

Or Kurrik

The surfer avatar

Eh

actually leg this might be off topic but i need to ask if you remember those couple naruto shippuden episodes where they were like, in a town in a crater in the middle of a desert. and there were like bugs and crazy snake boy kabuto was there masterminding something

You already know how they're going to go

better year

Yet

Don’t tell another story

i guess

Most of what I know about naruto is from plague's scathing review of the early stuff

Were those made by a different team or something

they felt weirdly different from the rest of the series

there were a ton of filler episodes in Shippuden

yeah that's why i stopped watching it but i'm just saying those felt off to me

I don't remember a hidden sand thing that had kabuto involved

i skipped the filler

Avatar has very little true filler in the story, even most of the season 1 stuff becomes important later on

Avatar isn't an adaptation of a currently running manga

Tales of ba sing sei was supposed to be filler

Leaves from the vine

That was the best episode

The one thing that was actually filler was ember island players

But was done well

And...the divide

if you want to finish Shippuden get a filler list and just skip everything except stuff like the kakashi and minato back story arcs

I think divide had purpose

Taught aang how to heal conflict

They were doing that anyway

Fair

Cleaning the lake

That episode was pretty mediocre

Yeah painted lady was eh

I guess it had katara story

Fucking environmentalist message

Maybe that factory halted the production of more airships

We don’t know though

Your animation is all out sourced by foreigners, who have to travel by plane!

The Pilot episode could pass as being written today tbh

Katara screaming at sokka for being sexist

so Korra ruined the Avatar lore, but the Boruto manga is actually helping explain the stupid ending of Naruto

the chase was a filler episode in s2

But entertaining

The chase introduced azula and led directly into zuko's training with iroh

Omashu introduced azula

Oh right

To the gang

It also established toph's and iroh's relationship

True

When I say filler I don’t mean it has no bearing because I don’t think a single episode in avatar does that

Which is also important to zuko's redemption

Maybe the southern raiders one was filler

That didn’t really have any impact

Other than aangs violence one
