Avatar: The Last Airbender (TV Series) Sozin's Comet, Part 3: Into the Inferno (2008) User Reviews

Intense and Awe Inspiring

I think a valid argument can be made that this penultimate episode is actually better than the very final episode. The intensity and action is borderline overwhelming. Into the inferno indeed!

I think it was so well constructed. My jaw was on the ground, agape in amazement. I wish I could score an 11/10 as this is one of the rare times something actually exceeds perfection. Truly blown away.

Goosebumps

One of the best fights occurs during the episode. Avatar's soundtrack never fails to impress me. What a shock this episode was. Brilliant!!

My favorite episode

All the 4 parts of Sozin's Comet are a masterpiece, but I liked this one in particular. Every scene is so well done, all the characters finally face their destiny and their greatest challenges.

The animations are incredible and the battles are perfectly done.

I have never seen such a great ending for a show.

Best Animated Show In History

[spartanben-00183 · 10/10 · 13 October 2018]

This episode is has one o f the most surprising animated scenes, and the history is just PERFECT, it was in this episode, where i can realize how the show is very well made, they care for every single character, believe me, they care for every single character in the lotus community, even with Suki they make a real piece of work, the development in MAGNIFICENT, for me this is the best Cartoon in History, the history have violence but it show to Kids and Adults that this is bad, no other show can do it, like the way this show did, every cartoon that i have seen make fun of violence and treat it funny, but inn the real world, violence hurts, even if you are protecting yourself, i have seen many cartoons, and i still doing it, but no other show will show me life lessons, this show has to been seen by every kid, we need more beautiful histories, not funny violence like Dragon ball, we need a real hero, and thats what every single character in this Tv show is, Sokka, Katara, Toph, Suki, Iroh, Aang, Zuko, etc. i can not mentioned all, but they all one thing in common, they have mistakes but they always try to be good.

It's so good, I feel badly about what comes after it

Azula going mad with power is something which always surprises me but somehow always makes sense. Now, I know a lot of us (myself included) sometimes fall prey to playing armchair psychologist and diagnose Azula with Antisocial Personality Disorder or Schizophrenia but that's not a good way to go about this. 1) You have to be 18 years old or over to be diagnosed with Antisocial Personality Disorder and (I think) the same holds true for Schizophrenia 2) Azula wouldn't have felt remorse for insulting Tai-Li in The Beach if she were an Antisocial Personality Disorder case and schizophrenia can only be diagnosed after six months of consistent hallucination 3) Most importantly, that isn't actually a good way to examine a fictional character.

That having been said, Azula's paranoia makes senses. She "trusted" Zuko (meaning she thought he was on her side) and he betrayed her. She trusted Mei and Mei betrayed her. She trusted Tai-Li and Tai-Li betrayed her. And the only reason she has the Dai Li on her side is due to them betraying both of their previous masters (the Earth King and Long Feng) so of course she doesn't trust them.

What's more Ozai making her Fire Lord as "punishment" isn't even a slap on the wrist, it's a reward and an undeserved one at that. Azula 1) spoke out of turn during a war meeting and was praised for it 2) failed to kill the Avatar and knowingly covered up his survival and reaped no consequences for it and 3) repeatedly tried to kill Zuko and/or capture the Avatar but consistently failed and reaped no consequences for it. Ozai isn't abusive to her, he rewards her so much that her treating her fairly seems to her as if it were abject cruelty "you can't treat me like Zuko" and that's what causes her to snap. (Though I like how in her heart of hearts, she knows her mother truly cared about her.)

Beyond that, everything about Zuko's duel with Azula, I love. Everything about the Battle of Ba Sing Se, I love. Everything about Sokka's battle against the Fire Nation Air Force, I love. Ozai is honestly extremely generic in comparison to most of the villains of the show but the battle against Aang is still a pretty neat fight scene. I also love the humour of this episode.

This is a great episode and honestly makes me feel badly about the next episode being an unworthy follow-up.
