The romance between Sokka and Suki is one of The Last Airbender’s best.

The live-action take on the fan-favoriteAvatar: The Last Airbenderis finally onNetflix, for better or for worse.

The new eight-episode series retells the early portion of Aang and Companys adventures with some notable creative liberties.

As Wolf Coves last line of defense, Sokka took this role very seriously, often to a fault.

But everything changed when he and his sister Katara inadvertently awoke the Avatar, Aang from his 100-year slumber.

Venturing far from home with Team Avatar sets Sokka on a transformative path.

But Suki more than put Sokka in his place when she bested him in combat.

Sokka, thoroughly humbled by the loss, requested that Suki personally train him.
