Are there women in the episode:
- Katara
- Yue
Do the women talk to each other:
- Katara and Yue talk to each other
Do they talk about something other than men:
- Katara and Yue talk to each other about the first waterbender, the Moon, and how the waterbenders learned how the basics of waterbending from it
This time, Avatar passes the Bechdel test and it was cool that we have different named women besides Katara and other main characters from Team Avatar. Plus, another thing that showed up in this episode was cultural imperialism. The reason in this episode that Katara and Yue talk to each other is that they need help to defeat the Fire Nation that is attacking them. Yue tells Katara how the Moon was the first waterbender and all the waterbenders learned the basics of bending and taught that from generation to generation. But if the Fire Nation defeats the Water Nation, then this knowledge of the beginning of waterbending will be lost forever as well as the culture from the Water Nation. So this is a great example of cultural imperialism since the Fire Nation is trying to dominate over the Water Nation and their culture.
