Avatar: The Last Airbender went to some dark places with this particular favorite (or darkly memorable) episode for one of its cast members.
. Despite the entire series being consistently strong, fans have their favorite episodes, with “Zuko Alone,” “Tales of Ba Sing Se,” and the series finale, “Sozin’s Comet – Part 4,” being among the show’s best. But, Mae Whitman, who voiced Katara in the original series, has her own favorite episode, and it’s one of the show’s best… and darkest. During an), Whitman was asked which episode of the show was most impactful to her and Katara.
Season 3, Episode 8, titled “The Puppetmaster,” Mae Whitman discussed the surprisingly dark tones in this memorable installment: “I remember the bloodbending episode was so big for me,” Whitman said, “because it’s tackling the complexity of trying to control people and outcomes. I remember being young and being affected by that and the darkness of it.” The Season 3 episode “The Puppetmaster” is easily the darkest and creepiest in the entire show.
The Gaang met Hama in this episode, an old waterbender who was once a prisoner of the Fire Nation. During her incarceration, she developed the taboo skill of bloodbending, which she used against the local Fire Nation residents and Team Avatar.wasn’t quite the breakaway hit the streamer was hoping for. But, it did gain enough fans for Netflix to grant it a proper ending, with the live-action series coming to an end after its next two seasons.
It makes sense for Netflix’s series to include bloodbending. After all, the new live-action adaptation is discernably darker than the original series, targetting a slightly older age demographic than Nickelodeon’s animated show. The creepy mystique of bloodbending would fit perfectly into the darker aesthetic established in Season 1 of Netflix’s version. Additionally, a bloodbending fight would look amazing in live-action.
