Evangeline is the den mother of the group and as usual she is immediately paired off with the goofball, as is common. The other negative I'll mention is that as many shows aimed at kids/teens with fantasy battle (shonen action), the women characters feel almost like they are there primarily to fill a quota of having tough ladies and for eye candy/romance. And I'm not even going to mention the fucking 3 parter soccer arc where the leads do nothing but play this world's version of soccer to get some cash. ![]() ![]() To be fair by the second half and particularly by the end there are genuine reasons you grow to care for their little band of tofu, but the characters act all nonchalant about it to start it literally felt like a couple of kids were playing Dungeons and Dragons, created their characters gave a 2 minute lecture on their character and how badass it is, and then the Dungeon Master proceeded to just throw them in the same town together as a group of adventurers that happen to want to travel together. The problem is that even when they first join, you never really feel a purpose they are all together besides the flimsiest of excuses. ![]() The show's first season biggest weakness, and hey Book 1 of the last airbender's too, is that the first half of the show is fucking plagued by throwaway borderline episodic episodes that don't really feel like they bring ANYTHING to the table besides showing the adventures of the crew as a way to have them bond.
