Avatar: The Last Airbender

The Fortuneteller was an awesome and perfect episode of Avatar The Last Airbender. I enjoyed watching this episode because we got to see more development with Aang and Katara as they both try to figure out their own and each other's feelings. The begining of this episode was cool as a man was being attacked by a Platypus-Bear. The new characters we were introduced to, Aunt Wu and her assistant who has a crush on Aang, were very interesting and intriguing. I thought the over all story of this episode was cool. I really liked how Aang and Katara used bending to shape the clouds. This episode showcases the series ability to convey wisdom and life lessons through fun and creative story telling.

Although the theme of the episode was decently executed, and it wasn't really lacking in quality, what it was lacking in is length. So far in the show, if there's one thing that stands out the most about Avatar, it is that it is surprisingly well polished and defined. Although it's been able to get away with just being a half hour in length, in episodes like these where it skips out on a lot of character and story development due to its short time frame, it takes its toll. As a result the story wasn't as interesting, and the characters that were used here felt nothing more than puppets to get the episode by.

Surprisingly i really liked it! i havn't seen the begining of the series but ive seen enough! i like this episode it even had a moral to it! i think that nick did a good job of creating convincing characters who each had diffrent personalitys! they made you feel more part of the show than if you were just sitting there watching it. by the end i was rooting for ang to end up with the girl, and for her to just realize that she liked him! i'm not a fan of nickalodian but they really did a good job on this tv show!

I really liked this episode! I got chills down my spine in the end when Aang was airbending the lava to stop it from destroying the village. On a nearby hill, Katara and Sokka are watching. Sokka tells Katara that he often forgets how powerful a bender Aang is. Katara stiffens, and asks Sokka to keep repeating it. She is shocked because the fortune teller told her she would fall in love and marry a powerful bender one day. Aang spied on the fortune teller and Katara when this was said, and he was happy because he thought the powerful bender was him.

As our heroes continue on their great adventure, they stumble upon a man in trouble! This is the first episode where we see a platypus bear! The gang tries to figure put ways to save him, but Appa does that by caring the platypus bear away since he has a louder roar and is bigger than he is. That was funny when he dropped an egg! Next they come to a town that has a master fortune teller, where she is really good at predicting the future and what is in store for other people who see her. Ya know what's really juicy? Aang and Katara trying to find out who could be their best love, signs that they were meant for each other and to get shipped people! That part was awesome, there's also a girl in this episode who has a crush on Aang, but later in the epsiode she finds out about what Aang was trying to do, and she said its tough when you love someone but they don't love you back. The ultimate plot for this episode was that some of the fortune teller's predictions were wrong when they saw an active volcano's lava rising, and the best part was that they changed the clouds to change fate! Good thing the town was saved, but Sokka doesn't like that guy when he keeps saying the fortune teller's predictions still ended up being right after all!

The Gaang finds a village who has a fortuneteller. The village relies on her fortune for the outcome of there lives. The fortuneteller also tells the village whether a nearby volcano will destroy the village. She says that it will not be destroyed by the volcano. When Aang and Sokka travel up to the volcano they figure out that it is active and can erupt at any time. All they have to do is pursade the village that the volcano will erupt but they are too stuborn to listen and they do not belive them. The Gaang must go under deep circumstances to get the fortuneteller to say that the volcano will erupt so they can save the village. I think this episode deserves a ten because it was well written and suspenseful.

Nobody get to notice that this episode was truly ironic?

Get this Aang, Katara & Sokka arrive at a village that is driven by the predictions of an old fortuneteller but Sokka its so determined to proove that the old lady its just a crazy old women and a liar that he ends prooving otherwise check it:

"The volcano will not destroy the village" the old woman said but Sokka proove otherwise but in the end Aang and their friends end up stoping the volcano from destroying the village so, in the end... the prediction of the old lady was right!!

Truly ironic... :):)

This episode was so funny I could barely breathe. Sokka's remarks always give me a good laugh, but this episode was incredible. The way the creators made fun of people who are slaves to fortune telling was perfection. I couldn't think up a better way to portray they're obsession if I tried. The quotes in this episode were legendary and the Kataang it held was the key to its success as well, IMO. With both of those epic wins how could this episode NOT be amazing? Me and my cousin always repeat multiple parts of the episode to each other and then laugh our butts off. This was definitely one of my favourite episodes in the series, and I don't think it'll ever get old.

I think that there are two reasons why someone would like this episode: One is that there is a great Kataang moment when Sokka reminds Katara that Aang is a powerful bender after the fortuneteller lady says she's gonna marry a powerful bender. Two Aang whooping the high heaven's out of a volcano? Classic. Name one other popular, recent anime, that the character is pwnin mother nature. Volcanoes specifically. Not to mention this is the introduction to the lettuce guy I think. There has always been at least one thing that I have left with this show. Never sell cabbage in a cart.

pretty good episode. the stalker girl is kinda creepy though. katara's love will be a powerful bender. the avatar is a perfect fit for that and katara finds that out too. i kinda hate it that this episode didnt bring us anywhere for plot development. it was cool how aang didnt hesitate on thinking of a plan to rescue the village from burning into ashes. i would give this a 8/10. if it werent for nobody trusting sokka that the volcano was going to erupt then i might have given it a better rating. now i got nothing to say so bye

This episode was great,and not only because it had proof of Kataang.Meng was a great character.I wish they showed her in more episodes.It would be nice to see her trying to get Aang to go for her instead of Katara.Not that I'd really want that to happen.Then that would mean Kataang wouldn't happen.I still can't believe Sokka didn't see Aang was not referring to Meng when he said he liked a girl.The valcanoe part was good too.It added an "action" part to the episode.But those villagers were narrow-minded.Sure,Aunt Wu was right about some things.But she can't be right about everything can she?And I loved the Kataang parts.And Aunt Wu,who could have been right,said Katara was going to marry a powerful bender.Aang is a powerful bender,he can master all 4 elements!Well he will soon.I rate this a 10/10

Overall a good a decent episode, "The Fortuneteller" seems to offer more to the avatar fans, relationship arguements about the characters, than anything else. Other than that it's funny, amusing, even brillant sometimes to watch. I like the character of Ms. Woo the fortuneteller, you can't really tell if she's faking it or if she really believes she can predict the future. She doesn't charge, so you decide. I also liked Ms. Woo's little girl assisant and her crush on Aang. For crazy Avatar fans notice she is voiced by Jessie Flower, the same girl who would later voice Toph. Anyway, it's a nice little episode

This episode has to be one of the best in the first season. We all knew that Aang had a crush on Katara but in this episode is the first time that Katara realises she might like him too. Sokka is hilarious in this episode he doesn't believe in the fortuneteller and goes around shouting at people for listening to her ridiculous prdictions, he freaks out more than usual wen he's wrong. lol. At the end with the erupting volcano is my favourate part though, it shows Aang the way he should be shown and not just as a goofy kid.

When the group tries to help a man who is being attacked by a platypus-bear, they discover that the local town has a fortuneteller named Aunt Wu in it, who has been forecasting the town's fate for years, but when Sokka and Aang discover one of the fortuneteller's most vital predictions is dead wrong, they have to develop a plan to convince the stubborn townspeople that their beloved Aunt Wu was wrong. Will they manage to save the village in time, or will Aang fail in his duty as the avatar? extremely awesome episode , very funny to watch a lot

This is the episode that made me fall in love with the Avatar series. It has it all, comedy, action, drama, and romance. What else could you ask for? The action with Aang battling the volcano was great! There is quite a bit of character development in this one. Not just with the mane characters but in the world they live in as well. I liked almost every episode of Avatar but this one was just so cute. Avatar has gotten so good I hope they don't ever ruin it. I can't think of one TV series that ended the way I wanted it to, or even remotely good, hopefully this one will be different.

This episode contains hilarious Sokka Moments! It's very funny when Sokka gets frustrated!! Haha...



Now onto serious matters, the episode is based around the Gaang's trip to a village where a fortune teller lives, Aunt Wu. Aunt Wu predicts to the village that they will be safe from the volcano this year. But Aang and Sokka see the lava from the volcano beginning to get hot and ready for eruption. Will the village be safe??



On a side note, I loved the Kataang moments in the episode. This is pretty much the turning point for Aang. He realises he likes Katara "more than normal" (I think that's the correct quote). It's very cute actually. And Meng is always comming into the scene... I love it!! Very funny!



But of course, as mentioned above, the funniest parts are when Sokka gets frustrated because everyone belives in Aunt Wu's powers and he doesn't. I love the part that a man says that Aunt Wu told him that he will meet his true love wearing red shoes. So Sokka asks him how many times has he worn the shoes since, the man replies that ever since the got the prediction. The Sokka starts flipping out that if he always wears the shoes then of course the prediction will come true. And then, of course, the man is happy that Sokka thinks it will come true. Very funny moments!



All in all the episode was absolutely great! Slightly a filler, except for the character development between Aang and Katara, but a very funny filler at that! :D

This was a good episode it doesn't have much to do with the overall plot of the story but it does give the audience a good insight to the thinking of Sokka, Katara and Aang. Sokka is the science man and dislikes and any of the spiritual stuff, this changes in the series with Yue and his trip to the spirit world. Katara places great faith in the fortune teller but as the story develops places faith in herself. Aang has the greatest part of the episode as he reinforces the idea that we create our own destiny. So overall a good moral and character building episode but these lessons could have been learned later.

Hmm its better good in a sense of kataang as the warm up to the non main reason of ppl who watch this series because teh like the idea of kataang / zutara. To be honest in the sense im a ''kataang'' fan and i think this is a good show generally well its actually my favurite. Despite the cave of two lovers was the first kataang thing i saw this was not to bad, but good enough, also zutara phails. Good bye ppl. now im just gonna saw some random stuff so i can get the review thing lol ha

The Forutuneteller wasn't a filler, because the fortuneteller told them about their future. It wasn't my favorite though. It had bits of kataang in it, which I love. I think that this episode was an okay episode. It was pretty exciting at the end when the valcano eroupted. That was pretty cool. But it wasn't as I expected. It had more humer in it than anything else. The only good thing about this episode was the Kataang. I wouldn't give it a 10.0 but just a plain 8.9 is good for me. I think this episode, beside the fact of my score, was pretty good. Good gob Aaron Ehasz, once again.

This episode is very good for so many different ways. Aunt Wu saw NO LOVE in Aang's love life. She also said Katara would live to see her third grandchild, and then die peacefully in her bed. We also saw what Aang was capable of. Sokka even said "I never realized such a powerful bender that kid is." This a great episode to see what happens in the future of the show. I think Aunt Wu is right. Well, she was right when she said that Aang would face Fire Lord Ozai. The voice actor of Meng (Jessie Flower) would sooner be the voice actor of Toph, too. Overall, not an A episode, but a B+ episode. It's like an 8.9. episode.

This episode wasn't very exciting with action, but it was still pretty good. Especially the part about all of Wu's predictions. Also, Aang trying to find out whether he ends up with Katara or not. Aang also learns that the future isn't something set. He learns that the future is ever-changing and that he can shape it the way he wants it. This also convinces him to go after Katara instead of doing nothing.



Also, this episode also warns taking anything for granted. The villagers trusted Aunt Wu so much that they were willing to risk their lives and their village on her predictions. In the end, her prediction was true, but only because the villagers and Aang worked to make it true. Even if a prediction is made, everyone still had to do what they could to make sure it became true and the village wasn't destroyed.

Aang makes a replacement necklace for Katara out of Sokka's fishing line and some flowers, and when Katara puts it on, he sees her in a completely new light. Aang has always liked Katara, but now it has just become a full-blown crush. However, Katara remains unknowing and comments that Aang is a good friend, comparing him to Momo, to Aang's dismay.



Then, the trio witness an old man being attacked by a huge Platypus bear. However,to their surprise the man doesn't seem concerned at all. This is because of the village fortuneteller, who predicted that the man would make a safe journey (he did, as Appa scared the bear away). The man hands them a wrapped umbrella, saying that the fortune teller told him to give it to any travelers he would meet.



At that moment, it rains and in an attempt to debunk the fortune, Sokka remarks that it's going to keep drizzling (while still raining) before the sky then clears up.



At Aunt Wu's place, Aang meets Meng, who immediately falls for him (much like he did with Katara), believing he is the one she is to marry, because Aunt Wu predicted that she would marry a man with large ears.



A woman emerges from the other room and tells of her fortune of getting a rare panda-lily from her true love. After, Aunt Wu comes out and asks the trio who would like to go next to which Sokka looks away, Aang looks to Katara, and the anxious waterbender is more than glad to get her fortune.



Aang is obviously worried about what fortune Katara would get and consults Sokka for his opinion on what the two women would talk about. Sokka says:



'Boring stuff, love, who she's going to marry, how many babies she's going to have, dumb stuff like that.' This only worrying Aang further as by this point he is convinced Katara will be his (or that Aunt Wu will predict she will mary someone else, and Katara will take this to heart) and with these prospects making him sweat, makes an excuse that he has to go to the bathroom.



After a talk of cosmetics between Katara and Aunt Wu, Katara receives her fortune that she will marry a powerful bender. Aang, who was eavesdropping, is delighted to hear this and begins to jump and dance around, a great smug look planted on his face. Aunt Wu and Katara come out and Sokka instantly receives his fortune that his life would be filled with pain and anguish, most of which self-inflicted. While Sokka's belief that fortunetelling is nonsense increases, Aunt Wu beckons for Aang. She chooses a fortunetelling which involves looking at the cracks in bones and when Aang chooses one then throws it in the fire, the bone shatters...



Aang has his fortune read, and he learns that he will be involved in a great battle between the forces of good and evil, which will determine the fate of the whole world. Of course, Aang already knew that. He's more interested in being sure if Katara really will marry him in the future. The fortuneteller says that she didn't see anything involving love in his fortune and upon seeing Aang's crestfallen face, grabs a piece of the bone off the floor and adds to her previous prediction, 'Trust your heart and you will be with the one you love.'



Sokka tries to prove the fortunes wrong but only proves them right. (He kicks a pebble that hit him back after ricocheting off of a sign with a Chinese character that reads, "Fu" which roughly means, "a Good Blessing")



The whole town believes in Aunt Wu's predictions, so they all have no doubts about her prediction that the volcano will not destroy the town this year...



Meanwhile, Katara is drinking in every word of Aunt Wu's predictions (repeatedly), while Sokka remains very skeptical, as he doesn't believe in fortunetelling. Aang, discouraged that Katara seems to have no special feelings for him, asks Sokka for some advice. He tells him that the best way to get a girl is by acting aloof, thinking that the girl in question is Meng. So when Katara comes by, Aang acts like he doesn't notice her, but Katara remains oblivious to his feelings. Aang decides to get her a panda lily on the rim of the volcano with Sokka, but when they reach the top of the mountain, they discover that the volcano is in fact going to erupt.



They rush back down to the town to inform everyone of what they saw, but of course, no one believes them because they have complete confidence in Aunt Wu's predictions.



Knowing that the only person the villagers will listen to is Aunt Wu, Aang decides to steal her cloud reading book. Meng comes up from behind him and admits that she has been stalking him the whole time, but knows that he doesn't like her; Aang did, however, respond to her clearly let-down feeling by saying that she would easily find a great man. Using the book, Katara and Aang manipulate the clouds with a combination of Waterbending and Airbending, then convince Aunt Wu to make a second reading, which of course, now tells her that the volcano is going to erupt. Aang and Sokka quickly organize the village's Earthbenders, as well as anyone capable of digging, to make a giant trench around the village to redirect the lava. Just as the lava surges over the trench, Aang unleashes a massive gust of wind to cool the lava, solidifying it into a giant wall. Sokka stares at the cooling rock barrier and mentions that he sometimes forgets just how powerful a bender Aang really is, and jogs Katara's memory of the prediction Aunt Wu gave her, putting two and two together, "I see a great romance for you! The man you're going to marry! - I can see that he is a very powerful bender!". (It is from this point on, that it's a little more noticable that Katara cares more of what Aang thinks, and cares more about Aang himself to that end. Skipping forward quite a bit, as an example, when Aang makes a joke about Katara's hair in Book Three's Episode 4, Sokka's Master, she nervously says, "What's wrong with my hair!" and blushes.)



Aang sheepishly hands back the guide for cloud-reading and instead of being reprimanded by the woman, she praises him. But Aang tells her of his suspicions that Aunt Wu had never foretold love in his future. To this, Aunt Wu tells him that like how he reshaped those clouds, he could shape his own destiny, (What many fans believe she should have said was something along the lines of, "I did not need my fortunetelling to give you that advice, that my young airbender, came from years of wisdom and experience."



Sokka happily tells the villagers that Aunt Wu was wrong, but the man they encountered at the start of the episode says that the village wasn't destroyed, as Aunt Wu predicted (she never claimed the volcano wouldn't erupt, only that it wouldn't destroy the village). Sokka retorts with an aggravated "I hate you." and Katara drags him away. (Likely thinking, it's alright Sokka, you're probably never going to see him again) With that, the trio leave the village to continue their northern journey. Meng and Katara wish each other goodbye, and as Appa flies away, Meng's final comment is that Katara is a floozy.

As a serious Kataang supporter, this was a fantastic episode. It clears up a lot of doubt that Aang did or did not have a crush on Katara.

The episode focuses mainly on Aang trying to get Kataras attention, at first he uses Sokkas advice and tries to be aloof, then he decides to follow his heart and be more forward in his advances. This leads him to discover some more important things about the village and the ability of the fortune teller. Apart from Aangs crush on Katara, this episode also introduces a fortune teller which predicts each of their futures. Causing a lot of speculation within the gang, especially Sokka. All up it was a really cute filler episode, but doesn't really contribute to the series as a whole, just some minor character development.

When I finished wathcing this episode it again made me think what a great show avatar is. Because of it's uniqueness, the episodes never get old.



This episode The Fortune Teller began with humor. Sokka trys to catch a mocking fish in a river, while Aang gives to Katara a new necklace he made out of Sokka's fishing line. Because Katara lost her old Necklace to Zuko, Aang felt he should make her one. Katara thanked Aang and took the necklace, she tryed it on and showed Aang. Aang started to blush when she showed him and Sokka mockingly made fun of Aang having a crush on Katara.



An old man appears as he is assulted by a platipusbear and is dodging the bears swipes quit smoothly. He tell them of a fortune teller and the Gaang decides to check it out.



I thought this episode was well written and basicly good.

We get to have a glimpse of a side of Katara that we did not know about. Her dependency on scheduele or routine. She becomes addicted to Aunt Woo's prediction, to the point of Aunt Woo not even trying due to Katara's bugging. This is a cute episode, showing off how powerful Aang is, giving Katara the idea that he might be the man she marries. (Though the prediction was a strong bender--Not necessarily the avatar) In context, Aunt Woo's prediction was true. The village was not destroyed by the Volcano. Thanks to chance (Or possibly fate) that the Gaang was there to save it.

I love this episode because it is funny and there is some kataang. There is good sokka humor to look out for...you can always count on him for the extra flare on an episode. The village characters are very interesting in this episode and very naive...but one character in paticular to watch out for is meng you can see her in the background behind aang stalking him...good humor there...The animation in this episode is great....and i love the bending scenes in this episode especially when aang and katara combine their bending to bend the clouds....great story and good lesson about shaping your own life

This episode starts out slowly, but picks up quickly. Aang also gets a predition fron aunt wu saying " he will be in a great battle, between good and evil, that will decide the fate of the univers!" (this will happen in season 3) the end has a looming crisis is about to hit a village living below a volcano. The residents are confident that their local fortune teller, Aunt Wu, will save them from whatever peril they face. Only after Aang, Sokka, and Katara save the town from the erupting volcanoe, then the residents realize that Aunt Wu was indeed correct... the village wasn't destroyed, but the right people were there to save it.

This was one of the first episodes that Aang's crush on Katara is openly admitted. I loved how as many times as he tried to admit his crush to her, she was always so busy with something else. I also liked how whenever Aang would talk about his crush with Sokka, he never seemed to realize that Aang was talking about Katara. To me, the part with Aunt Wu wasn't really important in the episode. I mean, how many people were actually paying attention to that? Everyone was too into the tension in Aang and Katara's relationship. The romance in this episode was enough to fuel a crazy me. It was awesome (to me). I'm not sure if the other Avatar fans of other couples liked it.



It actually took me a long time before I could finally see this whole episode (for some reason), and I was kind of disappointed. The Aang having a crush on Katara parts were the only reasons why I chose to review this episode. Personally, without that, this episode is kind of poor. (No offense.)



I loved all of the Katara and Aang-ness, though. Kataang forever!

When the group tries to help a man who is being attacked by a platypus-bear, they discover that the local town has a fortuneteller named Aunt Wu in it, who has been forecasting the town's fate for years. But when Sokka and Aang discover one of the fortuneteller's most vital predictions is dead wrong, they have to develop a plan to convince the stubborn townspeople that their beloved Aunt Wu was wrong. I just love this episode!! I can watch it all day!! This is why I am a kataang fan. LOL!!
