The imagination in the storytelling is wonderful. My addition will be that the adults that write comments on some of the episodes, such as "The Great Divide", seem to miss the world-building and character development in those stories. In every "hero's journey", there are unusual characters to meet and situations to learn from. There are 3 divides in that show, and there were messages in two of them. How monotonous it would have been to race through the seasons with just fighting and fleeing from Zuko. Like the stories in the Odessey or Hercules labors, each place and people had a unique flavor.
