Avatar: The Last Airbender: The Beach (2007)
Extremely fun and underrated episode
Although this episode may not further the plot in any significant way, the subtleties and overall message Presented within this episode can easily be overlooked. The beach presents our antagonists with an opportunity to experience what it truly means to experience life as a common teenager, I.e crushes, socialisation etc, as Opposed to solely being Military assets. It subtly conveys the extent to which Zuko and Azula are so socially detached, solely due to the militaristic and morally reprehensible ideals they have been nurtured to pertain to. This episode further explores Azula as Nuanced character, by allowing the viewer to understand that she isn't a full blown Sociopath, but an individual that does indeed wield the capability of displaying emotions such as sympathy, but due to her upbringing and Subsequent indoctrination, those feelings are suppressed by her.
