Sword Sokka and Ripped Iroh

Our friends are leveling up! We discuss chapters 3: The Painted Lady and 4: Sokka's Master. Nobody knows what exactly is in Troy’s hair. Katie describes Piandao as a “sexy mysterious guy with a Batman voice.” Everyone debates whether or not "The Painted Lady" is this season’s “The Great Divide”. Katie appreciates how the episode raises awareness of water pollution, but hates Katara’s bulging anger-vein. Jordan reveals this is the first episode we see a female Firebender that’s not Azula. Katie is bothered by Aang objectifying Katara as The Painted Lady and loved the group effort for Katara’s dramatic entrance. Everyone wishes the Dock, Xu, Bushi joke was better. Katie thinks Sokka’s sulking is weird and Troy thinks if Sokka was going to feel that way, it should have been Book Two. Jordan breaks down the Aang-in-armor scene and how it was a joke about the ill-fated line of Avatar toys, which did not include any female characters.
