Avatar: The Last Airbender (season 3)[edit]

This was written in the same way as season 1 and season 2, so it should be good enough to be a Featured List. Let the nitpicking begin. NuclearWarfare contact meMy work 04:08, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Dabomb87 (talk · contribs)

  • "The season begins with the protagonist and his friends Sokka, Katara, and Toph traveling" This phrase uses the noun + -ing sentence structure, which is ungrammatical. Consider: "In the season's beginning, the protagonist and his friends Sokka, Katara, and Toph are traveling...
  • "Prior antagonist and anti-hero Zuko"-->The former antagonist and anti-hero Zuko...
  • "The final season featured twenty-one episodes, as opposed to the twenty episodes contained within each of the previous two seasons."-->The final season features twenty-one episodes, one more than in the previous two seasons.
  • "All the DVDs were encoded solely for Region 1."
  • "Episodes were written by a team of writers, which consisted of Aaron Ehasz, Elizabeth Welch Ehasz, Tim Hedrick, John O'Bryan; along with creators DiMartino and Konietzko." Why is this in the past tense? Has the team disbanded?
  • "Mark Hamill joins the cast to voice Fire Lord Ozai, who, while having a major role in the plot, had previously only been shown playing minor roles in the series."-->Mark Hamill joins the cast to voice Fire Lord Ozai, who, for the first time in the series, has a major role in the plot.
  • "The season also received some praise for its video and sound quality."
  • "and Joaquim dos Santos was nominated "Directing in an Animated Television Production"" Word missing.
  • "Aang accidentally takes a school uniform and is taken to a Fire Nation school" Comma after this phrase.
  • "over the objections of Sokka and the rest"-->against the objections of Sokka and the rest...
  • "However, Katara feeds Appa berries to make it seem like Appa is sick." How does this contradict the previous sentence?
  • "and he helps her to destroy the factory polluting the water."-->and he helps her to destroy the water-polluting factory.
  • "Meanwhile, Iroh devises a plan for escaping the prison"-->Meanwhile, Iroh devises a plan to escape the prison...
  • "body building" I believe it is one word.
  • "The gang discovers there have been strange disappearances in a spooky town" Add that before "there".
  • "Feeling he is unprepared" Add that before "he".
  • "Hakoda returns with several people who" "who"-->whom.
  • "of the Sun Warriors in order to learn"
  • "The DVDs contain five episodes in four volumes, with a boxed set following." What do you mean by "following"?

  • The season, and especially the finale, received much critical acclaim, with praises from sources such as DVD Talk[2] and IGN. - "especially" is point-of-view, I would replace it with mainly and remove the "and" if you do that.
    • Especially highlights the fact that the finale was indeed one of the most highlighted parts of the season, but that reason of the season was praised as well. I feel that "the season, mainly the finale, received much critical acclaim" makes it seem that only the Season Finale received acclaim.

      • This could be interpreted in many ways, but lets just leave it as is :)--Truco 22:38, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
  • The season's executive producers and co-creators are Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, who worked alongside episode director and co-producer Aaron Ehasz - the rest of the article is in past tense, so "are" should be were
