What are the gaang's guilty pleasures?

already answered this here but i'm gonna use this as an opportunity to talk abt some cringe media that they would probably enjoy:

aang: he knows it's objectively worse than the original seasons, but he still watches the netflix seasons of arrested development, just out of nostalgia. he refuses to accept that his favorite sitcom is just a zombie of its former self

katara: she hates bridgerton. she has watched it five times since it came out. that guy from bridgerton is soo sexy tho.... she hates it. it's a bad show!!! she hates it so much!!!!! she can't stop watching it. help her....

sokka: is obsessed with back to the future parts 1 & 2 (but not 3 the third one is TRASH!!!!!) yes he is fully aware that the plot is insane, and baby, that's part of the appeal.

toph: she loves listening to youtube video essays of people explaining movies or postcolonial theory or whatever to her and then being like "i already knew that. weak analysis. bad. wrong" and then clicking on the next video even though she knows it's gonna be just as reductive & misinformed & just plain stupid

zuko: he's constantly saying "every pixar movie has the exact same story structure and predictable emotional beats designed to incite strong emotions in the audience to promote the illusion of depth and quality. it's sad how many people mistake that shallow hollywood drivel for anything remotely resembling true artistry" and then cries every time he watches one anyway

suki: she watches the bachelor in a similar way to how other people are morbidly fascinated by true crime. it makes her soul shrivel up and die but she can't look away. she asks sokka, "promise me we'll never get married" and sokka's like "ew god no why would you even suggest that???" which is always a relief to hear, even if she knew that already. eventually her friends stage an intervention because it's clear that watching this show was depressing her

ty lee: she does actually enjoy true crime, because there is something wrong with her. she also loves riverdale, which she claims is just "this generation's twin peaks"

mai: despite hating aaron sorkin with every fibre of her being, she has to admit that she harbors a deep fondness for the west wing. she also got really into overanalyzing the cw's supernatural and bryan fuller's hannibal during quarantine. she has an unfortunately high tolerance when it comes to enduring ugly white men on her screen :(

azula: as we all know, her favorite show is rick and morty. need more be said?
