** The Rough Rhinos were a band of EliteMooks that appeared a few times in Book 2. They were never actually defeated or dealt with by Team Avatar, having been driven off by Team Avatar and then Zuko and Iroh. Much later on, they were revealed to have been the band of Firebenders who destroyed Jet's village, giving them some attachment to his character. While they did appear in the comics, it would've been nice to see them have more encounters with the good guys. Most likely, the writers figured that Azula was the more interesting villain and so decided to focus on her instead of splitting the antagonists too early.

** Zuko had received this treatment since the show first aired, with many fans often forgiving or looking past his flaws or wrongdoings well before his eventual redemption. The interpretation of Zuko as being an awkward and demure young boy whovis pure of heart has become almost ubiquitous with the character, in stark contrast to his angry, impatient and selfish nature which caused many of his problems depicted in the series.

** The creators flew all over the world to find inspiration and art references for architecture and landscaping, studied martial arts in order to create realistic combat sequences, and hired someone with a [=PhD=] so that all the Classical Chinese ideographs seen in the series would be accurate. They also hired consultants for these things.
** The background posters that Sokka walked past one episode were seen for less than ten seconds, yet they still included a realistic poster for a theatre company (foreshadowing for another episode) and a poster for a town meeting about air quality (referencing the industrialized Fire Nation) and all the gambling being done on the streets. All in archaic Chinese.
** Constellations that are seen in the sky of [[Recap/AvatarTheLastAirbenderTheWaterbendingMaster "The Waterbending Master"]] are the same as those seen a season later on a star map in [[Recap/AvatarTheLastAirbenderTheDesert "The Desert"]].

* NeverLiveItDown: There exists a {{Vocal Minority}} of fans who will never forgive Katara for telling Sokka that he didn't love their mother the way she did. Not helping matters is that she never apologized for this. While it's true that what Katara said was pretty mean, it's human as she was consumed by negative emotions. The lack of forgiveness these fans have for this glosses over the fact that Zuko has had many more such moments like this with Iroh and that, throughout the series, Katara has been a supportive sister to Sokka to the point where he sees her as a mother figure.

** Jet is an incredibly divisive character because of his radical approach to decolonization. The series portrays him as an extremist and he is eventually killed off. This rubbed many fans the wrong way because they saw Jet as a traumatized teenager who only did what he had to to survive and they thought it was bizarre that Jet was one of the only characters to die in the series while the BigBad Ozai did not. Other fans agree that Jet was in the wrong and they do not like him because of his manipulative personality.

** Zuko has limited social ability, an obsessive personality ("I must capture the Avatar to restore my honor!"), suffers flashbacks under certain conditions, and has trouble controlling his emotions. Again, as with Azula, a lot of these issues could stem from childhood trauma. But even before the abuse became really nasty, he showed social anxiety and naïveté, and was emotionally dependent on his mother. (Then again, given that his only potential playmates were Azula and her lackeys, social anxiety is to be expected.)
** Azula seems to have some kind of antisocial disorder. She is manipulative as all get out, such a ConsummateLiar that [[LivingLieDetector Toph]] can't tell when she's lying, and she's charismatic and threatening enough to control a secret police force made up entirely of elite earthbenders. However, beneath her confident and capable exterior, she shows herself to be less surefooted and more emotionally needy than a down-the-line sociopath. In "The Beach," she proves to be [[NoSocialSkills cringe-inducingly inept]] when it comes to casual social interaction, [[spoiler:and the loss of her friends and validation from her father end up contributing to her mental unraveling.]] Even as a child, her mother wondered just what was wrong with her because she already demonstrated what amounts to AmbiguousInnocence at best and TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior at worst. According to[[WordOfGod Bryke's]] commentary in ''Sozin's Comet: The Final Battle,'' Azula’s antisocial behavior developed from her feeling that her mother [[TheUnfavourite didn't love her]] as much as Zuko and that while she could have turned out better, her nation's TakeOverTheWorld policy only worsened her problems. Since she is under the age of 18, she most likely has Conduct Disorder, which is treatable if caught early enough. Hopefully, Azula can still have a relatively normal life after a whole lot of therapy.

** The city of Ba Sing Se, considered the best-protected sanctuary, operates on "Outside is Burning, Inside is Safe". The city makes sure everyone inside is safe from the war (how well depends on social class), but mentioning the war is prohibited, and don't cross the Dai Li, the inner police, or they will brainwash you or make you disappear.
** In the Fire Nation's case, it can be said that they are the ones burning the outside. The Fire Nation enjoys a great standard of life inside its frontiers. In fact, the reason why they started the war in the first place is that their way of living, access to resources, and technological prowess are far superior to that of the other nations.

* SlowPacedBeginning: The first two-thirds or so of the first season is considered by some to be a bit of a slog because it’s mostly world building. It’s not until episode 8 (40% mark) that Aang meets Roku who then explains the MythArc to him. The story plods around for another handful of filler episodes before really hitting the home stretch with Zuko’s development episodes and the kids getting to the Northern Water Tribe.

** Zuko's character arc -- the WhiteSheep of the villainous group, trained to be evil with horrible consequences for resisting, raised by an abusive single parent who gives him a scar on his left eye, eventually attempting to change sides and initially being rejected -- is almost identical to Kovu's plot in the 1998 DTV Disney sequel ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKingIISimbasPride''. Many a fan has noted that the film's song "Not One Of Us" fits Zuko's story without changing a word.

** Due to her role in the story, viewers tend to either treat Azula as a monster who cannot be redeemed, or as a victim of mental disabilities that isn't to blame for her actions. The series really sits in the middle: she does have a mental disorder, and her father was not a positive influence on her at all, but Azula still makes choices on her own that make her an antagonist that needs to be stopped. Various episodes show her insecurities and flaws, making it clear she is a byproduct of the Fire Nations war, and other episodes show her being cruel out of her own desire to be. Like the above examples, Azula is presented as a terribly flawed human being, and while she should be accountable for the harm she has caused, she sill deserves to be treated with kindness and compassion given her circumstances rather than as a lost cause. The finale of the series hammers home the middle ground more by showing both sides of these, but despite that, many tend to stick to one side and view her as innocent or a monster.

Cute per thread. BBC and EDH are mutually exclusive, Suki is generally well liked, and Jet is more divisive.


** Suki. When she was introduced, she was a near-unanimous EnsembleDarkhorse for being an ActionGirl, but her joining the Gaang for the final battle split the fandom. Some are happy to see her return with more spotlight, others thought that she was just sort of thrown in without much consideration or fanfare and it wound up making her duller. Not to mention she lost her distinctive Kyoshi Warriors garb, which some saw as one of the best parts of her character, while others feel her character is more than just a cool outfit.
