In "The Last Airbender", one funny element of Air Bender society they bring up is that the women and the men live separate from one another, on separate mountains. They're depicted like serene Buddhist monks, but I feel that the only way you could enforce a society like that is with an insane sort of autocracy that executes anyone who gets lazy and decides they just don't want to fly back to the other mountain.

It's surprising what people will go along with if they consider it normal. Plus the Air Nation is canonically so spiritually pure that every individual is a bender, and while I don't know how I'd define the details of "spiritual purity" it's clear that for them, it includes avoiding mingling between the sexes most of the time. Which is to say, it seems weird to us, but it seems normal to them since it's the way things have always been done, and I believe they wouldn't seriously think about going against the norms.

So, the girl is chasing after the bad boy despite his red flags while the nice guy is being cucked ("he just borrows her"), with the girl being more on the bossy, masculine side. I would say that this joke has been overdone for decades by now (and the mainstream still shows no signs of stopping), but thanks to the farting and the menstrual blood thing the red flags are so exaggerated that I'll give it a pass.

No wonder the Air nation fell first. Way to stagnate your population growth.

I also had some jokes planned about the tree houses being unsafe. Brongle was going to insist that nobody had fallen so far, and someone would correct him to say there was that other kid last week, but Brongle would have waved it off as "He was pushed, he didn't fall on accident." It was a long episode, but what I was really going for here was that Sasha falls for a boy roughly five minutes before realizing this is Lord of the Flies.

If you dig really deep, they also specifically lived on mountains, which were absolutely terrible for any sort of crop farming, which meant that there was no way for them to appropriately civilize or develop the free time to travel between mountains. The fact is, you couldn't just genocide the Air Nation. What happened is the Fire Nation showed up and their wave form collapsed like Shroedinger's Cat.

I get so much delight out of Paul's mom just laughing at him.
