Summary
- Season 2 and 3 of Netflix's Avatar will feature bigger moments of action and character development.
- Toph's introduction showcases her Earthbending skills and unique personality, a crucial moment for the show.
- Aang's final battle with Ozai is the climactic duel the series has been building towards and could be a visual highlight of the series.
Netflix's Avatar: The Last Airbender's story will take the series to even greater heights than season 1.
The most important ones are the sequences that highlight the exciting action in huge bender battles, the best of which simultaneously include major character development and comedic beats. These sequences are some of the show's best moments and would be vital to the show now that Avatar: The Last Airbender has been renewed for two more seasons. If the creatives behind the Netflix series can nail these moments, then the adaption will soar beyond even what the first season accomplished. Here are the ten scenes from Avatar: The Last Airbender's second and third seasons that need to be adapted for the live-action series.

Who Is Koh? The Last Airbender’s Terrifying Spirit Villain Explained
A central antagonist in Netflix Avatar: The Last Airbender season 1 is Koh, but who is the show’s terrifying spirit and what powers does he hold?
10 Toph's Introduction From Season 2, Episode 6, "The Blind Bandit"
There's A Reason Toph Is A Fan Favorite
Toph is the fourth primary member of the Gaang, and becomes one of Avatar: The Last Airbender's most important characters. Notably, Toph's introduction comes on a massive stage, with the young woman showcasing her Earthbending skills by facing off in the Avatar: The Last Airbender's version of pro wrestling. Toph's skills in the ring are a great introduction to her amazing abilities and her boisterous personality. It's an ideal way to introduce Toph, especially by pitting her against other fighters.
Toph's introduction is a comedic highlight that should translate to live-acton well, especially if it retains Sokka's quick fandom of the Earthbending fighting ring. It's also a crucial moment for the show to nail on a character level. The sequence quickly establishes the differences between Aang and Toph. The relationship between the two is one of the most important elements of the original show's second season, as it forced Aang to adapt to a mindset he always had a natural aversion to. Toph's introduction is funny, awe-inspiring, and vital to the show's dramatic development.
9 Zuko's Duel From Season 2, Episode 7, "Zuko Alone"
The Live-Action Series Needs To Give Zuko His Western Adventure
A large element of Avatar: The Last Airbender season 2 is the character growth experienced by Zuko. After being shaken by the events of the first season, Zuko spends much of season 2 wrestling between his desperate ambition with the noble elements of his personality. This led to one of the original show's best single episodes, "Zuko Alone." It focused on Zuko traveling on his own through the Earth Nation. Playing out like a mini-western, the episode's final confrontation was an exciting sword duel that forces Zuko to reveal his identity and abilities.
This fight is one of the show's most tragic beats, as Zuko's victory saves the town but ostracizes him from the community he protects. Recreating elements of "Zuko Alone" for an episode of the live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender would be a perfect showcase for Dallas James Liu, giving the young actor a way to blend his dramatic acting chops with his stunt skills. The fight scene is an exciting blend of practical skills and bending abilities, and would look great in live-action. It'd also be an ideal story beat for the live-action Zuko, highlighting his continued growth and self-discovery.
8 Azula's Trio Vs. Team Avatar From Season 2, Episode 8, "The Chase"
Tyl Lee & Mai Need A Good Showcase For Their Skills
A solid chunk of season 2 of Avatar: The Last Airbender was dedicated to Azula, Ty Lee, and Mai's attempts to hunt down the Avatar. The first real showcase of how dangerous the trio could be early during season 2. "The Chase" pitted Ty Lee and Mai against Sokka and Katara while Aang lures Azula away. Recreating some of their fights in live-action adaption would be an ideal direction for the show, as it could highlight just how dangerous the trio are to Aang and his friends.
While the live-action series hinted at Mai's skills with a knife during a training sequence alongside Azula, actually seeing Mai in action against the heroes could showcase why Azula makes sure to bring her along. Ty Lee also needs a good chance to show off her Chi-Blocking, which proves to be a very important skill in the franchise as a whole. Pitting the two teams against each other in something similar to their fight from season 2 episode 8, "The Chase," could illustrate how threatening Azula and her friends can really be.
Avatar: The Last Airbender is now streaming on Netflix.

Iroh’s Last Airbender Nickname Explained: Dragon Of The West Meaning & Future Set-Up
Netflix’s Avatar: The Last Airbender season 1 refers to Iroh as the Dragon of the West, raising several questions about both his past and future.
7 Aang Vs. Jet In Long Feng's Prison From Season 2, Episode 17, "Lake Laogai"
Jet's Fate Sets Up The Increasing Stakes Of Avatar: The Last Airbender
Long Feng is one of the most important minor characters in Avatar: The Last Airbender's second season. An advisor to the Earth King, Long Feng is revealed to be pulling the strings behind Ba Sing Se, the Earth Kingdom's most powerful city. His efforts to discredit and distract the Avatar end up causing the heroes several problems in the latter half of season 2. This built to the revelation that he's been hypnotizing people and using a secret prison to contain threats to his rule.
Team Avatar confronting Long Feng would make for a great set-piece in live-action, especially after the introduction of Jet and his Freedom Fighters in season 1 of the live-action series. Jet is one of the people brainwashed by Long Feng, and is forced to fight Aang until he manages to break free — only for the villain to deliver a deadly blow, leaving Jet's final fate somewhat ambiguous. Recreating this scene in live-action would further justify bringing Jet into the adaptation's first season while highlighting the rising stakes of their battles.
6 Aang & Katara Vs. Azula & Zuko From Season 2, Episode 20, "The Crossroads of Destiny"
Zuko & Azula Working Together Is Impressive & Heartbreaking
The final fight of Avatar: The Last Airbender season 2 is one of the show's most impactful, as it sets up the radically altered status quo of the show's final season. Aang and Azula face off underneath the Earth Kingdom capital, with Zuko's arrival only complicating things for the Avatar. Alongside Katara, Aang does his best against the Fire Nation royals in a highly dramatic and deadly battle. The scene would be an exciting chance to see Zuko and Azula together, as it's one of the few times in the show where the pair fight on the same side.
The fight builds off of much of the show's proceeding dramatic beats. Zuko's decision to fight the Avatar goes against all the growth he's struggled with throughout the proceeding season, adding to the tragedy of the character. In live-action, it'd be a heartbreaking and necessary turn. The fight also ends with one of the show's most dramatic turns, as Azula nearly kills Aang mid-fight and comes close to ending the Avatar Cycle once and for all. The fight would make for a dramatic and exciting finale for season 2 of the Netflix adaptation and set the stage for season 3.
5 The Bloodbending Battle From Season 3, Episode 8, "The Puppetmaster"
Avatar: The Last Airbender Could Briefly Turn Into A Horror Story
One of the best elements of Avatar: The Last Airbender season 3 are the unexpected mentors that the Gaang end up discovering. While Aang helps solidify Zuko's redemption by becoming his student and Sokka finds an inspiring swordsman to train under, Katara's mentor is a far darker character — and would be perfect for live-action. Hama is introduced in "The Puppetmaster" as an old woman stolen from the Southern Water Tribe, who developed bloodbending while in prison. She teaches Katara this ability and improves her combat skills.
However, Hama is a horrifying character, kidnapping innocent civilians as part of her vendetta against the Fire Nation. Her live-action battle with Katara could showcase the frightening potential of bloodbending. Seeing this version of bending in action would be a unique way to approach a fight scene, with Katara forced to fight an unwilling Aang and Sokka during her duel with Hama. The battle could be a great showcase for Katara in the latter half of the live-action series, allowing her to face off with a dark mirror of what she could potentially become.
4 The Fire Nation Invasion From Season 3, Episode 10, "The Day Of The Black Sun"
Easily One Of Avatar's Biggest Potential Set-Pieces
One of the biggest potential set-pieces of any prospective season 3 for Netflix's Avatar: The Last Airbender would be the Day of the Black Sun. After discovering an solar eclipse will briefly render the Firebenders powerless, Sokka and his father Hakoda rally many of the show's allies into a massive invasion of the Fire Nation capital. The ensuing battle has plenty of exciting beats that would be well worth showcasing, including a chance to see Hakoda fight alongside his children. It's also a welcome chance to bring back ing characters from the preceding two seasons.
It's also a vital piece of character development for Zuko, who finally turns against his father once and for all. The Fire Nation Invasion could be an ideal fake-out set-piece for the live-action show, as it's set up as a major victory for the heroes — only for Ozai and Azula to use their momentary weakness as a trap. The live-action version of the battle would likely contain plenty of cool moments and would be a perfect "all is lost" moment to force the heroes through before setting off on the final chunk of the show's story.

Some humans in Avatar: The Last Airbender have incredible bending abilities - but not everyone. Here's what's we know about non-benders.
3 The Prison Break From Season 3, Episode 15, "The Boiling Rock Pt. 2"
A Funny, Thrilling, And Quietly Vital Prison Break
The Boiling Rock is established in the latter half of Avatar: The Last Airbender's third season as the Fire Nation's most impenetrable prison. It's also the setting for a thrilling two-part adventure, with Zuko and Sokka's attempting to liberate a captured Suki and Hakoda from the Fire Nation's clutches. The riot that plays out in the final chunk of the episode is full of action that would translate well to live-action, especially the show's single best showcase for Suki. The riot is also surprisingly funny, with gags like Hakoda's attempts to riot and Suki's effortless capture of the prison warden.
Seeing the sequence in live-action would be thrilling and even potentially vital for setting up the show's final stretch of episodes. "The Boiling Rock" two-parter ends with Mai and Ty Lee finally turning against Azula, isolating the Fire Nation Princess at a crucial junction before the explosive series finale. This is one of the episodes that fans should be most excited for in the live-action series, as it highlights everything that makes Avatar: The Last Airbender such a thrilling and fun show.
2 The White Lotus Liberate Ba Sing Se From Episode 20, "Sozin's Comet"
Iroh's Ultimate Showcase Needs To Be Done In Live-Action
Quietly teased in the first season of the live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender, the Iroh-led White Lotus are a powerful alliance of older benders from around the planet who seek to reintroduce unity to the world. Their appearance in the four-part finale of Avatar: The Last Airbender sets up a massive battle for the fate of Ba Sing Se, with Iroh leading a group that includes season 1 characters Pakku and Bumi (along with firebending master Jeong Jeong and Sokka's swordmaster Piandao) to free the city.
One of the many battles that play out in the series' final episodes, the Liberation of Ba Sing Se would be the perfect final showcase for Iroh. Although the live-action show has done a good job of teasing his full potential, the show's final stretch of episodes showcase how powerful Iroh really is. It's also a fitting moment for the character, a reversal of his infamous attempt to conquer the city before the events of the show proper. The White Lotus working to free Ba Sing Se would be a fantastic showcase of how powerful Benders can be.
1 Aang Vs. Ozai From Season 3, Episode 21, "Avatar Aang"
The Series Goes Out With A Bang
The final battle of the original animated series, Aang's duel with Ozai is juxtaposed against three other sequences, each of which will be exciting to see done in live-action. However, the most visually compelling and overall impressive will likely be the duel between Aang and Ozai. With his firebending powers increased by Sozin's Comet, Ozai initially has the upper hand. However, Aang regaining control over the Avatar State allows him to put up the greatest battle of his life. This fight scene will be what the entire show has been building to, giving Aang a climactic duel for the ages.
The extra time that's been devoted to Ozai in the live-action series will add depth to their battle, as Ozai's efforts to defeat Aang could feel more personal and earned after having seen the villain in motion for three seasons of television. A large-scale battle that ends with the introduction of an unseen form of bending, the final battle between Aang and Ozai is one of the sequences from the original animated show that needs to be gotten just right. If they can pull it off, Netflix's Avatar: The Last Airbender will close out on a huge visual success.
