Zuko is still my favorite character on that show, easily. But Azula and Iroh are up there too. Also Katara and Sokka.

Surprisingly, despite being the protagonist who the show mostly revolves around, Aang wasn't really one of my favorite characters. Still like him more than Korra though.

He's not a bad character by any means, and he's a solid lead, but his supporting cast is just so damn good, Aang doesn't look as great by comparison.

Korra's my top character personally, but obviously this isn't a popular opinion. Zuko, Iroh, Sokka, and Katara (in that order) are close behind, though.

I think most people would agree about Aang getting overshadowed by his supporting cast. Toph also has this problem too. Her joining the group as a battle goddess hamstrings her growth potential and forces the writers to either push her to the side or put her out of her element in big battles ('where's the most tactically-effective place to put our earthbending master during the final showdown? In the air, of course.'). Her brief flashback showing how she learned Earthbending from the Badger-Moles is one of the best and most heartwarming moments on the show, but unfortunatelt we're only treated to a glimpse of it, and not privy to her development firsthand the way we are the other characters.

That is probably a fair way to put it.

I never disliked Aang, found him boring, or failed to enjoy episodes that focused on him. I guess it's just that the other characters, especially Zuko, were that much more engaging. Zuko's character arc from episode 1 to the end did feel like the most rewarding to watch.

If I had the time and knowledge I'd turn the crowd's reaction and Toph's face into a 'that's my fetish' gif.

the whole episode is fantastic. i laughed so much, and the writers have nailed sokka as a great character

i liked the line zuko said about watching over the way how he acted, that he feels even more shame and disappointment

although it only leaves 2 episodes to finish the whole show :/ thats not a lot to wrap up the show

You'll be sad, but satisfied

Like eating a small but extremely delicious meal

You should definitely watch Korra as well though, it's not as good overall, but has some highs that match the highs of the original, and continues the story quite well

You'll probably end up watching it again later.

I've watched through the series three times myself.

Twice on my own and a third time with my wife.

We then watched Legend of Korra through. Never really felt the desire to rewatch LoK though.

So, I guess you can see why I said before that Zuko is my favorite character because he has the most engaging character arc from episode 1 go the finale.

also i bought the bluray earlier today and i'm rewatching the storm episode. so many things make sense now

- when iroh is telling the story about how the fire lord burned zuko, azula is there smiling and grinning at it
- iroh redirected lightning that was about to hit the ship
- and just seeing how the air kingdom was like 100 years ago when aang was younger

it also took me a while to warm to iroh since i thought he would turn out to be just as evil as the fire lord

i'm gonna start watching korra soon

i loved it, all the fight felt epic and the comet gave a nice backdrop to the sky. and zuko finally became a man

i kinda wish they had a bit more time after the war was over, i felt like that was a little rushed
