Line 30:
* [[Rebel Relaxation]]: Jet is fond of this, complete with a piece of straw in his mouth [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|much like]] [[Smoking Is Cool|a cigarette]], effectively wooing Katara (in the episode 'Jet') because [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]].
** The "[[All Girls Want Bad Boys]]" trope is subverted, however, because Katara quickly realizes her mistake at the end of the episode 'Jet', and [[Single Woman Seeks Good Man|ditches him for Aang]].
* [[Rebellious Prisoner]]: Expect this to happen quite a bit:
** Aang is a pretty [[Nice Guy]] and [[Cheerful Child]], but he will not make it easy for anyone who tries to capture him. In the pilot, he casually tells the guards watching him that he can escape with his hands tied, and proves it.
** Katara is not impressed when her jealousy that Aang masters a waterbending scroll causes Zuko and the pirates that originally had the scroll to capture her; Zuko attempts to coerce her into revealing Aang's location by offering back her mother's necklace, which she lost on the earthbending prison barge. She tells him to jump in the river. For a long time, even after Zuko switches sides, she holds a grudge with him about this.
** Don't take Sokka prisoner. If you ''do'' take Sokka prisoner, make sure he can't talk his way out of it. He convinces the pirates allied with Zuko that they would earn more if they handed over the Avatar to the Firelord, starting a melee between the two parties that allow him, Aang and Katara to escape. Later, when Azula and her friends stage a coup against the Earth King, only taking the king hostage makes Sokka surrender.
* [[Recap Episode]]: "The Legend So Far" mini-episode, shown right before the penultimate episode of the first season, and [[Narrator|narrated]] by the voice of [[Spirit Advisor]] Avatar Roku.
** And "The Boy in the Iceberg".
