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

randomly placed even in the middle of arcs

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

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

But that was already there kinda

As much as I like it Appas lost days could be filler

Guru patiq

That shows how he contacted aang

I guess

Yeah also shows how azula infiltrated

Nvm

"A filler episode is one in which nothing happens to affect the progress of the long-term story arcs or to develop the main characters, and no returning side characters, or other significant persons (other than the main characters), appear."

Ok so yeah no episode is actually filler by that definition

Nah, I'd say the divide, the pollution episode, the school episode, and ember island players should qualify

Oh right the school episode

Didn’t that teach him some things about the fire nation though

That was aang's midlife crisis

Again we don’t know what implications that factory had on the fire nation though

None

Could have stopped ship production

It didn't

Ok

I’m nitpicking and being biased you win

hello

Also apparently in korra bosco was eaten by the earth queen

How he lived that long I don’t know how

It's a rumor, but she's his direct daughter right

Yes

King also did not look old

So assuming he took his rule back

Bears must live a long ass time
