Mark Watches 'Avatar: The Last Airbender’: S01E14 – The Fortuneteller

Over at Watches the review for 'The Fortuneteller' should be up soon. (Second time's the charm, right?)

Spoilers (and cheating at Operation) below.


Katara
-1 for destroying Aang's crush by comparing him to Momo
+1 for the advice
+1 for hating papaya
+1 for trying to warn the villagers
+1 for bending the clouds
I don't know whether to give Katara a plus or minus for realizing Aang is a powerful bender and so could be the guy in her fortune....

Sokka
+1 for the fish taunting him
+1 for the advice
+1 for being the anti-prediction man
+1 for proving Aunt Wu's predictions true
+1 for trying to talk sense to the villagers and failing miserably
+1 for thinking that Aang is talking about Mai
-1 for the shitty girl advice
+1 for trying to warn the villagers
+1 for science being able to explain why it rains
+1 for the lava plan

Aang
+1 for making Katara a necklace
-1 for using up their fishing line
+1 for the advice
-1 for eavesdropping
+1 for confessing to Katara
-1 for taking Sokka's shitty advice
+1 for going to get Katara a pandalily
+1 for the trip down the mountain
+1 for trying to warn the villagers
+1 for bending the clouds
+1 for using airbending to defeat lava

Momo
+1 for stealing Sokka's food
+1 for helping out

Appa
+1 for scaring away the platypusbear

Meng
+1 for love at first sight for Aang
+1 for the cute stalking of Aang
+1 for realizing that Aang doesn't like her back and taking it well
-1 for calling Katara a floozy. It's Estrogen Solidarity! Not, insulting others behind their backs!

Aunt Wu
+1 for sending an umbrella their way
+1 for the hot butler dude... Seriously, who is that man and where can I get one?
+1 for pwning Sokka
+1 for getting Aang's future right and for making him feel better
+1 being annoyed by Katara's unending requests for future information
+1 for telling Aang he has the power to shape his own destiny

Yeah, so when I watched this I totally wanted Zuko to be the powerful bender. Come at me bro.

Of course there's no review on the one day I would actually get to participate :( Oh well, I should be doing something for my little brother's birthday anyway. I wonder if he knows his birthday is Star Wars Day.

OMG I am still awake way later than I should be - I have an exam in 2 days - but I just finished series 2 of ATLA and OMG HOW THE HELL DID YOU SURVIVE WAITING FOR THE NEXT EPISODE!?!?! SERIOUSLY!! MY BRAIN HAS EXPLODED!!!

So I went to double check the rules for ELSOS' character competition:

"To make sure minor characters can still get a shot at the top, once season 1 is over, I'll divide the number of points accumulated by the number of episodes the character was in for a final score. This will determine our season winner! At the end of the season, the slate will be wiped clean and a new tally will be started. At the end, each season winner will compete to see who wins and becomes the BEST CHARACTER IN AVATAR."
(link to that post, if anyone wants it)

What that means now is that basically, Bumi's gonna win without much competition. Aang and Sokka have the most points, but their average per episode is 4.36 (whereas Bumi has 9).

Um, the more you know?

Heads up for those that want to know the Reads schedule (this is posted on Reads, but I don't know if all the Watches people check it):

Mark should finish Book Thief Mon or Tues, then is NOT doing reviews the rest of the week in order to focus on the ebook thing.
Week of May 16th will be a week of HP rereads and Infinite Jest.
Week of May 23th will be the start of the HDM trilogy.

(What this means for me personally is an extra two weeks to finish the last HDM book, which I just started. Didn't realize how long it was, so this is good for me.)

Spoilers for season two of Avatar in my reply to this.

I think Meng should get another point for being voiced by Jessie Flower, who was so amazing they just had to have her back as Toph.

It's possible I'm just saying this because I love Toph and want her to have points-by-association before her character is even introduced.

Maybe.

Aunt Mu. Ahahahaha I love Mark's typos!
Why are people upvoting the '"crazy" isn't a slur' comment on Watches? Do they agree with that (WHY DO THEY EVEN GO HERE THEN), or do they agree with the atheism/agnosticism stuff (really?), or are they upvoting something they disagree with?

I honestly don't get it - I saw it at -2 near when it was first posted, meaning since it's at 6 now, at least 8 people upvoted it.
