Overanalyzing Avatar: The Fortuneteller

Dave filoni really did work on some of the hardest hitting animated shows ever

Never realize Meng literally called Katara a slut in this episode

interesting fact but meng, the girl with the pig tails is voiced by tophs va, this is her first appeareance in the show before toph.

Meng calling Katara a floosy is one of the craziest lines in any cartoon and I love it.

When I first watched this episode as a kid I had never heard the term floosey before, but just based on the context I understood it enough to question if they could say that in a kids show lol.

That bone method used by the Fortuneteller is used by shamans.

Clouds usually don’t move XD how did you pass middle school

Shouldn't the guy that gifted the panda Lily have seen the volcano full of hot goo?
Or did it erupt because Aang dropped the flower in it, and I guess organic material (or is it just anything and not necessarily organic) dropped in magma will cause it to start reacting or something?

Honestly, this is my least favorite episode. More so than even The Great Divide. Everyone is really annoyingly stupid in the town, and there's way too much focus on the Aang/Katara romance that I always felt was really uncomfortable and weird.

this is genuinely my favorite episode of Avatar.

I know you have a lot of opinions some people disagree with, but one thing I think we can all agree on is that turkey duck sounds AMAZING

Considering bunnies are prey animals, the fluffy bunny cloud probably forecasts that the village is going to be invaded by wild animals who eat everyone.

When you realize that toph and ming are voiced by the same actress

Are the turkey-ducks like an living version of a turducken

I doubt anybody will see this bit it wasnt an apple aang ate, it was a papaya

Trash

I'm a fan of the idea that Aang's knowledge of volcanoes comes from Roku and he just doesn't realize it. Either that or maybe he saw some with Kuzon. Either way I think it's cool.

Sokka is such a homie, Aangs like hey want to climb a massive, dangerous mountain with me to grab a flower so i can give it to your sister, and dude is like sure why not. Dude is just down to do whatever.

Sings of a volcano about to pop off are new gas pockets, more, or stronger earthquakes the ground around it can start swelling, and new or stronger hot zones appearing. Most active volcanos do just have lava big chilling in them, some even have constant streams of lava coming out of them Aang really shouldn't be able to tale the volcano is about to go off, since most of those you need prior info on how the volcano was before he showed up.

My favorite thing in this episode is Aang fighting the volcano and winning decisively. It shows that the knowledge of how Roku died and the lessons learned from that have been carried forward in the Avatar cycle to mean that Aang could do it without even needing the Avatar State.

bunnies seem like they're really good at making a year's harvest minuscule, so one being a sign of doom (famine specifically) does make enough sense.

I am so impressed by how quickly you get into your stride doing this series. You improved so quickly that even before you get past half of season 1, you already seem to have found your confidence.

IM OBSESSED WITH THE FACT THAT MENG SAID FLOOZY SHE CALLED KATARA A WHORE OMG I COULDNT HANDLE IT
