YMMV / Avatar: The Last Airbender "Imprisoned"

• Complete Monster: The Warden is the cruel overseer of the Fire Nation prison rig on the Mo Ce Sea, who is dedicated to crushing the spirits of his captives. Rounding up any Earthbenders among various villages, the Warden imprisons and enslaves them, forcing them to build Fire Nation warships while keeping them in miserable conditions to destroy any hope they have. The Warden is so temperamental and petty that he throws a prisoner into solitary confinement for a week as punishment for coughing in his presence; in another case, the Warden flings his own Captain overboard just for not answering a question clearly enough. When Katara manages to convince the prisoners to fight their oppressors, the Warden tries to kill them all with no mercy.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: During Katara's "attempt" to earthbend, the Fire Nation soldiers assume it's Momo who can Earthbend. One season later we learn that there are animals who can actually do that. The badgermoles.
