Landon and Michael have finally arrived at the conclusion of Avatar. Topics for this episode include Aang's reluctance to kill the Fire Lord, the appearance of a giant turtle, Momo's demise, and the Fire Lord declaring himself the Phoenix King. The big takeaway from this episode is that everyone is against Aang when it comes to killing the Fire Lord. He is a sane man in an ocean of madness. Also, someone should probably give Azula a hug. Gently, of course. Join the conversation at...
