AtLA 30 Day Meme: Day Fourteen - Favorite Fight Scene

What is your favorite fight scene?

Spoilers will be below!

My favorite fight scene would have to be the final battle of Azula when Zuko and Katara team up and take her down. That was epic.

What about you? What is your favorite fight scene?

Tomorrow: Write a haiku for your favorite character!

I have a few favorites.

1) Toph taking down all those pro earthbenders by herself in Blind Bandit. It's one of the many reasons I love that episode so much. SHE IS SO BADASS.

2) The battle at the end of Crossroads of Destiny, Aang and Katara vs. Azula and Zuko. It doesn't end well at all for our heroes, and it's so wrenching and frustrating to see Zuko side with Azula, but that's precisely why I like it: it has that emotional resonance in addition to being a fantastic display of bending, and it totally screws with your expectations in a brilliant way.

3) Azula vs. Zuko (and Katara) in the finale. It was everything it should have been, and more.

4) Aang vs. Ozai in the finale. It was the explosive final battle we'd been waiting for, and did not disappoint.

I have trouble picking a favorite fight scene in this show, but I'm going to go with the first one I saw. The first episode I saw was The Earth King, and that sequence of them fighting their way into the palace is fantastic. It really the first time we see the Gaang (including Appa) all work together seamlessly. I remember being fascinated, wondering why each person could do different things, and wondering why that bald kid could use all the elements. It's such a brilliant scene!

I'll have to go with either

1) Katara vs Pakku

2) The Zuko vs Azula vs Aang fight in 'The Chase'

or 3) the Gaang fighting their way into the Earth King's palace.

I don't think I can narrow it down more than that :p

I'm not sure you can really even call it a fight scene, but when Aang goes into the Avatar State in the S1 finale. Gorgeous.

Otherwise, I guess Toph beating everyone in that earthbending competition. Both during the competition, and when she takes out all those dudes single-handedly.

Jet and Zuko's swordfight, and pretty much anything that involves the Dangerous Ladies.

Every time Toph fights I become glued to the screen.
The fight in Crossroads of Destiny was pretty amazing.
The Aang vs Ozai fight didn't disappoint. It was completely epic and an amazing way to end the show.
Even though I'm usually not a big fan of firebending, the fight between Zuko and Azula was awesome. And the music that went along with it? Completely heart wrenching. Why is there no official soundtrack for this show???

I wish that every show had fight scenes like Avatar because, for me, they are perfection.

I really enjoy the first Agni Kai we see in Ep 3, mostly for shallow reasons. It's also a great introduction to how bending works in a fight, as prior to that we only had a few short ones, mostly between Aang and Zuko.

Aside from that, I love in S2 when the Gaang fight their way into the Earth King's palace, and of course pretty much every single fight scene in the finale, from Zuko vs Azula, Oza vs Aang, and the OWL retaking Ba Sing Se. (Jeong Jeong has rocket boots! :D :D )

I loved the Old People Club! I agree, that scene was amazing. I loved being able to see more of the fighting styles of the different masters.

I think my favourite moment of that part of the storyline was Iroh setting fire to the Fire Nation flag and it burns away to show the Earth Kingdom insignia underneath. Just the way he does it and the expression on his face. :D

1. Aang vs. Ozai after Aang went into the Avatar state.

2. Azula vs. Zuko in the comet-enhanced Agni Kai.

3. Toph taking down the pro-earthbenders of Earth Rumble Six.

4. Appa vs. Momo hallucination. Because COME ON, Momo totally looks like Yoda there! XD

Azula vs. Aang vs. Zuko with some Iroh and Katara thrown in in The Chase. It wasn't really much of a fight once everyone arrived, but I got really excited when it looked like it was going to be Azula against everyone.

And the Order of the White Lotus taking back Ba Sing Se.

The three-way Aang-Zuko-Azula fight in "The Chase".

Zuko and Azula vs. Aang and Katara in "Crossroads of Destiny"

EVERYTHING FROM THE FINALE.

I love pretty much every major fight scene (Katara vs. Pakku, Toph vs. Wrestlers, "The Chase" Mexican standoff, "The Earth King" invasion, All of the finale fights), but one scene that I think deserves to be mentioned is the 3-stage fight in "Lake Laogai," going from the Gaang and the Freedom Fighters vs. The Dai Li to Aang and Jet vs. Long Feng to The Gaang (Plus Appa!) vs. Long Feng and the Dai Li. Sokka and Katara don't really get to do much, but Toph, Jet, Smellerbee, and Longshot get time to shine. Plus, whoever came up with the scene where Jet throws his hook sword at Long Feng deserves a metal. I just love how the music crescendos dramatically, and the camera angle is just awesome. And then Appa gets to skip Long Feng across the lake like a rock. :D

I have to admit this isn't really my absolute favorite, but it's a scene that I believe needs MOAR LOVE.
