The Last Airbenderwas primitively an animated serial publication that began on Nickelodeon in 2005 , chop-chop clear widespread popularity . Netflix ’s remake has enjoyed similar winner , lead to the ratification ofAvatar : The Last Airbenderseason 2 .
Although a braggart part of the live - actionLast Airbender ’s success is due to its faithful adaptation , it was never going to be possible for the show to adapt all 20 installment of the invigorate series ' first season . There is also an argument that some of the animation ask to be trimmed anyway to create a more focussed tale for the live - activity format . Whatever the grounds for their omission , there are seven full original episodes missingby theend of Netflix’sAvatar : The Last Airbenderseason 1 .
The house trailer for Netflix ’s The Last Airbender let on the show ’s main dramatis personae , raising the head of how old they are liken to their characters .
7"Imprisoned" — Season 1, Episode 6
Katara helps Haru’s village free itself from the Fire Nation
The first installment of the originalAvatar : The Last Airbenderthat is skip in Netflix ’s remake is season 1 , instalment 6 , " immure . " This is the installment where Katara , Aang , and Sokka help free an earthbender nominate Haru and his Father of the Church from a Fire Nation prison house . This episode let in some importantmoments in the originalAvatar : The Last Airbender , most notably Katara ’s characterization as compassionate and fiercely determined .
Though " Imprisoned " represents an crucial moment in Katara ’s discharge , there are flock of other parts of the news report that demonstrate her compassion and decision , which is probably why this episode was cutfrom the remaking . Not much bump in this instalment that has result for the overarching tale either , making it more intelligible why it was cut . Haru is a fan - ducky from the original show , so it ’s a shame he ’s not in the remake so far , but it make sense that his installment was cut .
Haru reappears afterwards in the originalAvatar : The Last Airbender , so it ’s still possible that he will be introduced at some point during Netflix ’s remake .
6"The Waterbending Scroll" — Season 1, Episode 9
Katara steals a waterbending scroll from a pirate shop
embodiment : The Last Airbenderseason 1 , episode 9 is the next episode skipped in the first season of Netflix ’s remake . In this episode , Katara steal a waterbending scroll from a stripe of literary pirate , landing team Avatar in loads of trouble when the pirate team up with Prince Zuko to track them down . Although the waterbending scroll itself is included in Netflix ’s reading ofThe Last Airbender , it is given to Katara by Gran Gran , and none of the specific events of this episode are adapted .
This episode was probably trim back from Netflix ’s remake because it has no major implication for the residual of the taradiddle besides Katara gaining a curl to exercise with . It would n’t make a lot of common sense to use a whole installment to get a coil to Katara , especially in a show already crunched for time , so it makes sense that this one was cut . Having Katara welcome the scroll from Gran Gran also puts a good twisting on their kinship , so this is a sound change as well .
5"The Great Divide" — Season 1, Episode 11
Aang helps rival tribes cross a canyon together
Netflix ’s remake ofAvatar : The Last Airbenderalso skipped the eleventh instalment of the animated version , " The Great Divide . " This episode focuses on Aang ’s attempts to keep the peace between rival kin long enough for them to traverse a big canon / gorge together . The chief function of this episode in the original show is to hale Aang to face up his responsibleness as a neutral peacemakerand steward of equilibrium in the world .
This instalment tests Aang ’s diplomatical ability as well as his leadership , which makes it disappointing that it was n’t adapted in time of year 1 of Netflix’sAvatar : The Last Airbender . These are critical skills for the Avatar to determine , and there was n’t a mess of focus on them inThe Last Airbenderseason 1 . It ’s apprehensible that time chasteness may have prevented this installment from being include , but it could ’ve played an authoritative use in Aang ’s development if it had been adapted .
BothAvatar : The Last Airbenderseries are now available to well out on Netflix .
4"The Storm" — Season 1, Episode 12
Both Aang and Zuko are pushed to the edge by a great storm
In the animated version ofAvatar : The Last Airbender , episode 12 follow both Aang and Zuko ’s attempts to save their friends during an enormous storm . Although the lineal events of this episode are cut from Netflix ’s version ofThe Last Airbender , there are some crucial flashbacks included in the installment that are adapt in Netflix ’s version , include Aang ’s time with the Air Nomads before being rooted and the history of Zuko ’s scar . These flashbacks are the chief purpose of the episode , which is belike why the rest of it was reduce .
The events in the titular violent storm are mostly a metaphor for the tumultuous time in Aang and Zuko ’s respective yesteryear that are being shown through the sequence ’s flashback . Again , it made sense for Netflix ’s remake ofAvatar : The Last Airbenderto take the brief moment of importance from the episode and cut the balance , like it did with " The Waterbending Scroll . " This is an efficacious way of trimming the show without mislay vital content .
The flashback to Zuko ’s past happen in Netflix ’s remake ofAvatar : The Last Airbenderseason 1 , episode 6 , while Aang ’s past times is visited in the airplane pilot episode .
3"The Fortune Teller" — Season 1, Episode 14
Netflix ’s remake ofAvatar : The Last Airbenderalso bound off time of year 1 , episode 14 of the revivify version , " The Fortune Teller . " In this sequence , Aang , Katara , and Sokka travel to a village with a hazard - teller , taking her prophecies to heart until it ’s discover that the vent near the village is about to erupt against her foretelling , forcing the mob to save the village . This is a fairly self - comprise episode , so it ’s not shocking that it did n’t make the cut for Netflix ’s remake .
This is a great individual episode of the originalAvatar : The Last Airbender , but it does n’t really add anything to the overarching narrative . It does portend Aang and Katara ’s future kinship by foretell that Katara will hook up with a hefty bender , but not much else befall . In a arrant existence , this report could ’ve been included in the live - action at law version , but considering the time restraints on the show , it looks like cutting this episode was another good decisiveness .
2"Bato Of The Water Tribe" — Season 1, Episode 15
Katara and Sokka reunite with a friend of their father’s
" Bato of the Water Tribe , " time of year 1 , episode 15 of the originalAvatar : The Last Airbender , was also cut from Netflix ’s live - action remake of the show . This episode sees Katara and Sokka reunite with Bato , a friend of their sire ’s , causing Aang to fear being left behind and hide information about Sokka and Katara ’s begetter from them . This installment in the main ramp up Katara and Sokka ’s sensation of responsibility to Aang as their number one priority , but it also assist as a reminder of Aang ’s youth and emotional immaturity .
Once again , the themes of this installment are much more important than the consequence , which is likely why Netflix ’s hot - actionAvatar : The Last Airbenderomitted it . Sokka and Katara ’s sense of duty is built steady throughout the first time of year of Netflix ’s version , take the need for this episode . Further , Aang ’s juvenility is displayed even more sharply in live - activity than in the original show , so his role in this episode is n’t ask either .
1"The Deserter" — Season 1, Episode 16
Aang begins to learn firebending from a Fire Nation deserter
The final episode of the originalAvatar : The Last Airbenderthat is omitted from time of year 1 of Netflix ’s remake is installment 16 , " The Deserter . " This installment accompany Aang ’s attempts to memorize firebending from an infamous Fire Nation deserter , Jeong Jeong . Interestingly , Netflix ’s variant ofAvatar : The Last Airbenderseason 1 does not include Aang training in any chemical element besides aviation , which is a considerable change to the animated show .
Whatever the ground for Netflix ’s decision not to have Aang ascertain the other component inAvatar : The Last Airbenderseason 1 , that conclusion is probable the cause this sequence was cut . Without the bit of firebending training that Aang gets , along with a healthy care of the element after incidentally burning Katara , there ’s not much to this instalment . Jeong Jeong is a great character , so it ’s unsatisfying he was n’t in Netflix’sAvatar : The Last Airbenderseason 1 , but it ’s still potential he could appear in time of year 2 or 3 .
