Now, if I could write ANY episode of AtLA it would be called 'The Search for Ursa' and in it Zuko would leave Iroh in charge of the Fire Nation and go looking for his mother. He would find her, have a touching reunion, find out what exactly made her banished, and then come back to find that Iroh had created an annual Tea and Music Night festival.
Much implied off screen hilarity would then ensue.
What about you? What episode would you write?

Okay, my episode would be "Azula, Mai, and Ty Lee Hang Out Together and Be Awesome"
Should be set in S2 or early S3, and using extensive flashbacks of their childhood - so basically, when they are happiest together. Don't get me wrong, I find the dynamic between the three of them fascinating all the time, but I consider pre-"betrayal" to be more fun and enjoyable to watch.
Uh, they could be snarky together? And give me fuel for my ot3? Like do each other's hair while Ty Lee and Azula make fun of Mai for liking Zuko, and them doing hilarious Zuko impressions, and Mai not being able to hold back a smile, and joins in on the snark, and then maybe whacks them with a pillow, and then Azula pretends to banish her from the nation, and um, stuff.
Also, I desperately want to see them younger and learning to fight, and watch them become the characters they are in the series.

It would consist of Zuko looking for Ursa. Toph would be there to help, kick ass, and finally get her field trip with Zuko since her first one was not sufficient.
The B story would be Iroh drinking tea.
(Pretty similar to yours, lol. I think a lot of people want to see this story).

Did you know that Iroh and Ozai are never so much as in the same building together within the show? Do you know how sad this makes me? I really want to see their interactions! And seriously, where fuck is Ursa? I mean, don't tease me, show.
I suppose if I had to come up with a more concrete episode idea, it would be like this. It would take place after the finale, when Ozai's lost his powers and Iroh's running his tea shop. Zuko's not been very effective with the "where's Mom?" line of questioning, so Iroh offers to go and talk to Ozai. Presumably, this episode would be interspace with flashback to both their youth's, so we could see how they interacted and maybe even how Ursa and Ozai's relationship was. And Lu Ten, because I want more Lu Ten. The episode ends with Ozai finally giving up the goods, and Zuko finds Ursa living in the North Pole or somewhere random. They hug and it's all kinds of sweet.
Basically, it's a wish-fulfillment kind of thing.

The first would be called 'Dragon of the West', and would be 22 minutes of Iroh backstory, growing up with Azulon as his daddy, why Ozai is like, 20 years younger than him and what that dynamic was like, seeing his wife etc.
The second would be a four-or-so part mini-series, possibly grouped together like Sozin's Comet called 'The Seige of Ba Sing Se', and would be a story of the 600 day siege, Lu Ten's death, and Iroh's trip to the Spirit World and subsequent induction into the Order of the White Lotus. (I'm betting Bumi is the one who brought him in.)

A Plot) Ursa gets wind of War's End and proceeds to make her way from the Earth Kingdom Backcountry to the Capital of the Fire Nation... while Zuko tracks her to a village in the Earth Kingdom Backcountry
B Plot) Toph Bei Fong announces her return to her family compound by retracting the surrounding wall into the ground. Then she and her parents finally get some information as where each other is coming from

the fire nation royal family history is depressing and sad so here is 47 minutes of that
and it would be tons of flashbacks of the royal family from when ozai and iroh were little, to when zuko was banished. and i would absolutely love to see more azula backstory. and lu ten. LU TEN IS A MUST.
and then at the end there will be 15 minutes of pure kataang fluff. the last part is optional, but greatly appreciated. ;D

"Avatar: The Last Air Guitar": S2
The Gaang arrives in a village being plagued by a mysterious red spirit who causes everybody in town to break into song. Zuko and Iroh, by sheer coincidence, end up in the same village, closely pursued by Ozai's Angels. Awesome Asian-inspired musical numbers ensue.
"Azula Alone": S3, in place of Boiling Rock Part 2
Azula wanders around the Fire Nation palace alone, the betrayal of Mai and Ty Lee causing flashbacks to her childhood. Said flashbacks give more hints as to the location of Ursa and help to make her descent into madness less rushed. Character development ensues.
"The Ghost of Kuzon": Early S3
Feeling nostalgic, Aang leads the Gaang to Kuzon's old house, only to find the whole village deserted. A terrible storm prevents them from leaving, and they spend the night in Kuzon's old house. Haunted house shenanigans ensue.

I just want lots and lots more of Azula, Mai, and Ty Lee (plus Zuko).
Also, I would want a post-finale episode wherein all the ladies of the Gaang get together and be awesome.

Also, after rewatching Suki's EPIC BADASS MONUMENTALLY KICKASS scene in Boiling Rock, I really want an episode centered around HER. Especially about what it was like growing up on Kyoshi Island.
MichelleZB · 726 weeks ago
Sokka's coming with Suki to be all relationshippy, but there's drama there too because what he really wants to do is go back to the Fire Nation and study swordsmanship with Piando again now that he has the time. He leaves her in the episode and it's SO SAD but there's still hope for them yet, because he has Hawky again and they can still write!

Sooooooo let's have a really fluffy episode called Everyone Is Getting Married and it's Effing Adorable. Summary: Everyone Looks Beautiful cuz there's awesome clothing design here and They're All in Love and They're Not Twelve/Fourteen/Sixteen Anymore so it's No Longer Creepy. And I dunno, they're some bullshit that someone pulls but then Aang's all like "Not on my wedding day!" and BAM there's a cool fight scene and everyone works together and it's like they're back in the Gaang again, and then they all trade adorable knowing glances and we all have like Nostalgia pangs and it's great.
Sorry guys, I think I'm traumatized because ZUKO JUST LEFT IROH and they're my favorite relationship in the show and I just want it to be the third season finale already so that they can reconcile and EVERYTHING WILL BE BEAUTIFUL AND NOTHING WILL HURT ARGH

Plague.
Okay, this would probably never happen, because of the scale of death- but this was a show that brought a world of genocide and war to the screens. In this one, the episodes would be set as a plague begins to sweep across the Avatar 'verse. Aang (or possibly Korra) would have to be fighting to give people safe passage to places without disease, while at the same time realising that this is an enemy you can't fight. Similarily angst would ensue by the fact that Aang/Korra would sometimes have to fight citizens rioting for supplies, or leave the diseased behind...
Um. Yeah. I like angst.

The pic in this post reminds me that we've only seen Zuko laugh twice in the whole show - first time in "The Waterbending Scroll" when Iroh points out that the Gaang stole the pirates' ship, and second time in "The Headband" when he giggles at Mai hating orange. That's not much, is it? I mean, he does smile more often once he joins Team Avatar, but he hardly laughs... :P

A-plot was Zuko, after the first unstable years as Fire Lord, feels his position is secure enough and officially starts his search for his mother. He declines help from the Gaang, preferring to go alone, but when a rehabilitated and mostly-reformed Azula (backed by Ty Lee) demands asks to join him, he realizes that he can't refuse as she has almost as much reason as him to find Ursa. Much of the tension would come from Zuko being afraid that Azula will betray him, not helped by Azula still keeping her old ruthless tendencies.
B-plot was Aang's search for news of possible Air Nomad survivors. He finds a lot of myths, but the stories with the most truth only paint a picture of how thorough the genocide was. He does find descendants of Air Nomad children adopted by sympathetic villages, who have the spirit of Airbenders, but can't yet airbend. His most encouraging discovery is of a colony of Sky Bison and flying lemurs. In the end, he uses Energybending to turn volunteers with potential into full-fledged Airbenders, teaches them as much as he can about the old Air Nomad culture, and they form a new Air Nomad society.
