SPOILER ALERT: This article contains spoilers for Season 2 of the live-action “Avatar: The Last Airbender,” now streaming on Netflix.
Netflix’s live-action “Avatar: The Last Airbender” is back for Season 2, following Aang’s (Gordon Cormier) journey to learn earthbending from the young, blind mentor Toph Beifong (Miyako), just as in the second season of the original Nickelodeon show. Like the first series, Aang, Katara (Kiawentiio) and Sokka (Ian Ousley) travel to the walled city of Ba Sing Se to find an earthbending teacher. They’re pursued by Azula (Elizabeth Yu), princess of the Fire Nation, and her friends Mai (Thalia Tran) and Ty Lee (Momona Tamada). Meanwhile, exiled Prince Zuko (Dallas Liu) and his uncle Iroh (Paul Sun-Hyung) are on the run and try to blend into the quieter life of the Earth Kingdom.
While there, Aang and his friends discover a massive conspiracy within Ba Sing Se’s government that ignores the war going on outside the city walls. They also learn some critical intel from discovering the desert library of Wan Shi Tong that could defeat the Fire Nation once and for all: The upcoming solar eclipse will prevent all firebending and weaken their heated enemies. As they escape the library, Aang’s sky bison Appa is stolen, which nearly tears the friend group apart.
