Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 2 (2026) Review
Main Character
Gordon Cormier is back as Aang and he is a lot older here. It actually took me a minute to get used to an older Avatar but it really worked and I felt like this as a more mature version of the character. He feels more human this season and as he grows up he makes mistakes and realises what is important.
Supporting Characters
Kiawentiio is back as Katara and she is a good character. She has a story arc that involves her trying to step us and being more of a hero. It continues her arc from the first season and I think she does a pretty good job with it.
Ian Ousley reprises his role as Sokka and he is a fun part of the show. He is kind of given a story arc but it isn't really in depth and it feels like he is slightly moved to more comic relief. I like him in the role and think he is clearly having fun.
A real show stealer is Miyako as Toph and she was such a fun addition to the cast. She has great lines and a great character and I think this show really needed her. She adds so much and she really owns every scene that she is in.
Dallas Liu is back as Zucko and they decide to take the character in an interesting direction. Liu does his best and does a good job in the role and I thought like they added some depth to the character.
The rest of the cast are all also great and the acting and characters are the real strength of the show.
Story
The story has some okay character arcs, mainly for Aang, Katara and Toph. They are developed and given enough time to make you care about their progression. But some of the character arcs aren't handled so well, mainly Zucko's. The ending of his arc was just confusing and I didn't like it at all. The story feels like its just build-up for another season and I thought the ending was incredibly rushed and forced.
Script
The script is okay, it is more serious this season and has quite a bit of seriousness to it that is handled well. The humour is a mixed bag and okay at times, but it is the inconsistency of those character arcs that left me frustrated with the writing.
Style
The show has clearly got a bigger budget this season and it looks amazing. The action scenes are so much better then the first season and way more creative. It was great seeing more action and different powers being used. However, the season has awful pacing. The first few episodes move at a breakneck pace, but then it really slows down and then the last episode rushes towards its conclusion.
Overall
Overall, Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 2 is another good season of television. It hasn't really improved from the first season which is a shame. But it is still an enjoyable watch and a fun time.
Rating - 7/10
