Moving on. Maybe I was expecting too much from a kids show. Now, I don't want you to think I don't like what happened. I do. Its just as I said, I wish there had been a few more episodes to explore the following points:
This isn't part of the finale but the "dark and angsty" Katara thing was thrown in there at the end with no time for the other characters' reactions. Everyone is just okay that she ran off to kill a guy?
I liked Azula going crazy but I would've liked to see her lose her mind over a few episodes. Then again, watching four episodes in a row doesn't help my perspective on the pacing.
Everyone loves Zuko. I know this is a kids show but I think Zuko's loyalty should've been called into question more/tested in other ways rather than letting the characters take "Zuko Field Trips".
Ba Sing Se geriatric battle could've been so much more fun. I could've watched a whole episode on it.
Aang's chit chat with the other Avatars? One of them just needed to say, "Pussy! Kill him already!". That part seemed rushed too.
Also, I really wished the directors hadn't tip-toed around Iroh's character after Mako's death. Rather than slowly easing into a new voice actor, Iroh was pushed aside until the end. My one friend reacted really poorly to the new voice. It wouldn't have been such a big deal if he had returned sooner. The episodes prior to the finale were really missing his presence.
