Can't wait to blaze one and rewatch this whole show reaction lol.
see y'all at Legend of Korra!
I think gravity falls might be in your wheelhouse. That show is great.
I'm sure you'll get plenty of animated recommendations now. So I'll throw in a movie one, "A Silent Voice"
@@derekdaniels16I’ve watched that movie liek 10 times lmao
I will blaze one as well for Korra time 😶🌫️
Korra is awesome.
IMO, 3>1-4>>2 (Avatar 1000th EPIC and cameos lol)
We may never be able to watch ATLA for the first time again, but I'm glad I rewatched with you guys, it's the closest I got to that feeling.
Same thats why I love watching reactions about ATLA and LOK!
same
Same
Well said
Ive been waiting for this moment since E1 i loved hearing their thoughts on this master piece
Friendly reminder that Sokka, a non bender, was able to take down 2 comet powered firebenders with one arm, his sword and boomerang, all while holding Toph from falling to her death. Oh and his leg was broken.
And probably a dislocated shoulder from Toph.
The way it was done though, he really shouldn't have. In the time it took both benders to shoot at him, he was able to get his boomerang out, throw it at one, kick his sword into the air, grab it, and then throw it at the second. Prior to that we even see the fire forming from each firebender.
facts
Yeah, but c'mon...it was plot Armor.
2 comet powered Firebenders who somehow took the longest time out of every Firebender in the show to throw some flames, by *far*
They were literally moving in slo mo.
@@CedricBassman I don't know if you remember when everyone had Azula cornered in season two she deflect his boomerang first, because it is by far the fastest thing that reaches her and if you watch it in slow mo he lets go of his boomerang before anyone else even uses their bending he is unhumanly fast
At the beginning of the the series, Zuko was searching for the Avatar to restore his honor. At the end of, he found the Avatar and restored his honor.
It's amazing how "finding the Avatar" came out differently than we expected!
"You Know Prince Zuko,destiny is a funny thing."
@@abuttnugget6753 - Dragon of the west
Toph hanging from Sokka's arm having no vision/sight/feeling of anything but his slipping grasp and believing him when he tells her they are going to die. I cant imagine how afraid she must've been
Yeah, I really feel that moment too when her eyes start teary..
Love that moment, might be my favorite in the series
I love that scene because it completes her character arc. She started off defensive about accepting help, she teased Sokka for being a nonbender but in the end, she was ok with being vulnerable with someone she trusted with her life.
I love how the first word of the series was Sokka saying "It's," and the last word is Toph saying "Perfect."
That's one of my favourite Avatar facts to bring up too 😁👍
Because it's true. "It's....Perfect" ❤
It's perfect!
Actually the first word is "Water". ☝️🤓
@@GoldenLeafsMovies Lol we're omitting the OP, damn it! XD
Such a well written show
The voice actress that voiced Azula will never watch the end because she had to go to a very vulnerable and dark place to achieve that level of crazy.
was that said by the actress? proof?
She made me cry for Azula. Azula. Such an amazing script, animation, and acting
@@sphinx3749 he just typed it out. That's not proof enough?
@@TheHeroClass the sun is purple with pink polka dots and pokemon exist in australia and madagascar.
using your logic, since i "typed it out", its proof that those things are true. 🤡🤡

The somber music during zuko and azulas duel cements the facts that was Is happening is some tragic. Siblings trying to kill each other. Tormented kids, misguided and abused by a sadistic father.
THIS! They were pitted against each other from birth. I think there was genuine love between them (on both sides) that got corrupted. The Final Agni Kai is really tragic. Zuko even seems to get that at the end. He just feels sorry for her.
Its ironic how in The Beach, TyLee said she joined the circus because she did not want to be part of a matched set with her sisters who all looked like her and at the end, she ends up joining the Kyoshi Warriors who are a matched set. Character growth! The writing on this show is so so good.
That is, I believe, exactly the reason she leaves the Kyoshi Warriors in "The Search", though whether that's canon or not is anyone's guess.
@@szandorkane6372 Why wouldn't that be canon?
The Kelesy warriors aren’t a match set their group she could join and be a part of it still be individual.
That’s not meant to be ironic. That’s meant to be growth in her character if that she’s willing to join this group and feel a part of it, and not like she’s losing herself and knowing how to not lose her self in a group.
As easy as it is to hate Azula..it just always breaks my heart to see her crying while chained up. Like shes just as much of a victim of Ozais abuse and manipulation as Zuko. He stripped her of her humanity and turned her into the perfect weapon to use. She needed an Iroh figure too.
And she was only 14 right?
@@zoex3316 Yeah I think so
Only 14.
"I'm about to cwlebrate becoming an only child!" How much is how she was raised and how she just IS we still dony know but its sad
For me nope. Never felt sorry for Azula. And I felt sorry for Cersei just before the Cave in. There's only a handful of villains that are worse than her. She makes Shao Kahn look like a nice guy. She needs to stay in a padded cell & rotttttt. The Comics be d@amned. She's the textbook definition of irredeemable.
@@TheMrPeteChannellmao this is the single worst take I’ve ever seen in my life, she’s at a very young age needed a therapist but was instead a product of her environment and lack of affection from the people that were responsible for her, if you genuinely think like this I hope you never work and have kids
"I need to find the Avatar to restore my honor!"-Zuko
And he did EXACTLY that!
Aang could not have pulled off energy bending if he wasn’t completely committed to not killing Ozai. “To bend another’s spirit, your own spirit must be unbendable, or you will be corrupted and destroyed.”
The only reason Aang was able to defeat Ozai was because he refused to kill him, against the advice of everyone he talked to about it.
None of his past lives told him to kill. They gave advice like "be decisive, act with justice, be involved, be selfless", and he did all that.
I like that.
The only part that i dont like very much is the fact that only by chance Aang got back the Avatar State getting punched in the back, i think that was very loose writting
@@Oye_GallardIt was the fact that his chakra was locked due to Azula, we learn from Guru Pathik that the chakras line with the spine. Aang was shot in the heart chakra and that very convenient rock hit the pressure point where it is, similar to Ty Lee blocking the chi paths by hitting them from the outside and Amon bending them from the inside.
Valid point. I think so too sometimes. But history is full of lucky moments.
The last Agni Kai is by far, not only the most beautiful fight, but the most beautiful scene in the entire series. Some of the most powerful fire bending we've ever seen, the hauntingly beautiful yet tragic violin score, and the clear juxtaposition between the first Zuko vs Azula fight and the final.
It’s super cool. And Azula having a mental break down throughout the episode and sobbing at the end really made me feel bad for her.
The choreography of that duel was equally beautiful. Throughout the series, Iroh had taught Zuko the importance of drawing wisdom from all four nations and not just the Fire Nation. That was why Iroh was such a powerful bender; he learned to incorporate different techniques to augment his already powerful firebending, and Zuko did the same. You could see it in the different ways that Azula and Zuko dueled. Azula relied solely on firebending form, whereas Zuko learned how to use air, water, and earth techniques that Azula was not prepared for. Even if Azula weren't losing it mentally, she still would have lost.
There have been three Agni Kais depicted in the show, and Zuko was a participant in each. Zhao, Ozai, and now Azula. Zhao tried to get in a cheap shot after forfeiting. Ozai maimed an opponent who forfeited and bowed in submission. Azula attacks a bystander to bait her opponent. Zuko is the only participant we see who obeys the spirit of the duel.
@@colemanroberts1102 Shows how Zuko’s idea of “honour” is different from everyone else.
It was cool, no doubt.
But it got absolutely lessened by the fact that Katara was randomly standing in the middle of the Arena.
As a brother who has an estranged relationship with my sister the last Agni Kai hurts to watch. Even though you wish you could have a relationship again too much has been said too much has been done. Avatar truly took on the hardest of topics
You should consider reading or watching the youtube video of the comic "The Search". It explains what happened to Zukos mom and delves further into zuko and azulas relationship. It is great, I so wish they would have done a few episodes of that.
As a sister who wishes I could get along better with my brothers, the last Agni Kai hurts a lot too. Thank you for putting my feelings into words, I totally relate to this especially if the problems are because of the parenting. I hope we all have our own redemption arc.
That said, yes Avatar is perfect.
I felt the same way. I cried some much during their fight.
I'm so sorry to hear this. It pains me to see or hear about estranged siblings, because I am an only child and I always hated being an only child, I feel like I missed out on something that could have been very special that pretty everybody else got to have. I hope one day you will be able to work things out. Of course I have no personal frame of reference for sibling relationships other than what I've seen around me my entire life, but I also firmly believe that if someone is toxic they need to be cut out, so if that's the case, again I'm sorry to hear, but you really need to do what's best for you.
that moment with Sokka and Toph, when he's like "I think this is the end." gets me EVERY TIME. he was accepting death. it was just such a beautifully sad moment for me. the eternal optimist, seeing no way out.
Yeah, F you Sokka! Spoke too early! 😢😂
often overlooked is that Azula was all about royalty and privilege. She call Katara and Soka peasants. For Katara to defeat her is huge blow to the world she built in her mind and her sense of superiority.
good point, i always just attributed her full break to her seeing another example of “love is stronger than fear” play out. seeing katara help zuko and their clear trust for one another when she doesn’t have anyone left. but what u said is def probs part of it too
One element of it also is that one of the biggest, most essential truths in her life was "I am better than Zuko." So first she was beaten by the brother she always used as an example of failure, then she was beaten by a water tribe peasant.
@@DFAnton to build on that. During this fight Zuko got a solid hit on her before she did the lightning. It was the first time she was ever hit. The first crack in her invincibility.
At this point, Azula had lost everything.
She was already a mentally unwell and narcissistic child since birth and already felt estranged from her mother even before she dipped out.
And now her father, the only person who truly validated her status and just crowned as the new Fire Lord, then one-ups her by naming himself Phoenix King and dips out.
All she had left was her superiority in natural strength, and she lost it against her "weaker" brother (had to basically cheat to get him to throw the match), and was then bested by a Waterbender she calls "peasant".
At this point, all that's left is to have a meltdown
Worth mentioning Katara and Sokka's father, Hakoda, was Chief of the Southern Water Tribe, so they're on the same level as Azula when it comes to social hierarchy.
Everyone's arcs are beautifully ended in this series, but my favourite is Sokka's. One of the first things he says to Aang is 'you can't fight firebenders with fun', yet here he is, doing just that with the birthday announcement.
True. Sokka’s arc had a lot of ins and outs, but I think a big part of it was learning that he didn’t have to pretend to be someone he’s not to protect the people he loves. In the beginning, he was always trying to be a caricature of his father, putting up a macho, serious front to seem more respectable. Throughout the show, it get proven time and time again that being his normal, fun-loving, goofy self does not mean he’s not also a good leader and competent warrior. That was Master Piandao’s whole lesson to him at the end of the day: be yourself, stay true to your training, and you will become the best version of yourself.
The thing is Azula isn't the final enemy, she is also a product of Ozai. Too bad that such a father had such a talented daughter. She truly was a prodigy but she had so much internal battles growing up in such a broken sadistic family. It is slightly hinted here and there so I think the ending is perfect and it is supposed to make you feel bad for her. As much as we all hate her actions in the series and want her to have a defeat like Ozai did, in the book 3 we start to see her background which then prepares us for this finale.
Yeah they never got that. They’re really brutal about her. “Get her on meds”. “Sleep it off”. They’re cold as ive
Some of us didn't hate all her actions nor want her to be defeated like Ozai, in part because some of us understand that making false equivalences between them is actually wild - one of them ruined the other lmao there's no two ways about it and wanting a victim to be punished for trusting and following their abuser is odd at best
The first episode was titled, “The Boy on the Iceberg,” and the final episode was, “Avatar Aang.” The growth is amazing and really glad to rewatch the show with you!
As the azula sympathizer that I am I gotta say her last scene always gets me, people often overlook the fact that she just as much a victim to the evil cycle of fire nation as zuko was even iroh wasn’t always good his son death put him on the right path just like zuko mom leaving and being banished put him on the right path, unfortunately azula didn’t have something to lead her to the possibility of redemption, she was used and coddled with malicious intent by her father because she was a prodigy, her father used her as a weapon, which why from what she learned from her father she couldn’t form real bonds with anyone.
I think the reason it’s hard for people to sympathize with her is because she’s portrayed so confident in herself and what she’s doing which makes her fall off so nice for some but so sad for others, I feel like azula embraced the fact that so many people feared her just like they feared her father and she wore that fact with pride until everything she ever known came crashing down which when her insecurities started to show, they even showed alittle in the beach episode, deep down I feel like azula was jealous of people who had real bonds and connections because she didn’t know how to have one, what make her character even more tragic is the fact that she’s only 14.
I love how the music for the final Agni Kai between Zuko and Azula wasn’t epic and triumphant. Because it’s really a tragedy. Two siblings fighting each other. Zuko and Azula could have had a close sibling bond like Sokka and Katara, but Ozai pitted them against each other. They both did what they thought would earn their father’s love. It’s sad and somber, and the music reflects that perfectly.
Did you notice when Aang shifted into the Avatar state and had Ozai by the beard? Ozai's attack was the same one that scarred Zuko. It was a small ball of fire aimed directly at the left eye. Very subtle but very deep call back.
Holy hell. I never noticed this. Good grief this show is so excellent
It took the fire nation’s drill to try and break through Ba Sing Se’s wall. It took Iroh a few SECONDS to do and complete the same just with fire during the comet 😭🤧
Yeah, many people overlooked how powerful exactly was that blast.
To be fair, seeing this again, I just wondered... Bumi could've just opened the wall gracefully, without destroying it, making it easier to rebuild/repair after the fight. But I've also seen the show a lot of times, so I start to nitpick I guess^^'
Well the The Drill was at the outer wall. Iroh's blast was at the inner wall. we see June drop the Gaang off at a break in the wall and the white Lotus lead them through to wherever the encampment was. the walls could have been much thinner but the feat is still impressive.
Sokka literally taking out multiple fire bender, single handedly, during Sozin's comet, while saving the homie... Hero!
Ones of the best parts of the final Agni Kai for me was Zuko's use moves from other bending forms. He counters Azula's first attack with a waterbending move. He later counters with an earthbending stance. He then uses an airbender kick to land a blow on her. He embodied Iroh's lessons, and found wisdom in all four nations. Zuko is centered and whole, whole Azula is literally and spiritually unbalanced.
Within him was the power to restore balance to the world
He was part Avatar
Azula really was what Firelord Azulon and Ozai were hoping for which was a child with the combined raw power of the royal family bloodline and the Avatar
But Zuko had the pathway of an Avatar
And yes took on Iroh’s teachings which made him much more powerful
No one else ever talks about how Katara did the same thing. She waited for the right moment to strike when trapping Azula, then did what Iroh calls "Breathe of Fire" to melt the water.
The first word of ATLA: It's
The last word of ATLA: Perfect
I’ve always loved that katara initiates the final kiss of the series with Aang
Tear bending TO THE MAX.
I love the name of the episode. “Avatar Aang”. Shows how much he’s grown up and yet how powerful this 12 year old has become. Such a powerful and lovely show
The fact that the show starts with "The Boy in the Iceberg" and ends with "Avatar Aang" should tell you everything you need to know about it's character development
@@jafetlamadrid2759 I know! I love it! Such a great show!
I’ve legitimately watched the series 3 times now with reactors and it’s so solid everytime
think this is my 4th.. and jeah its always great
Zuko was only worried Aang would hesitate to kill Ozai and that would get him killed instead. He does trust in his skills.
Another testament to Sokka's ability to grow that I have yet to see any reactor catch onto is how protective he became of Toph. In the Serpent's Pass episode, he learned that while Toph is strong and very capable, she is still blind and needs guidance when the scenario isnt in her favor.
In all scenarios since then, you can see him making sure to grab her hand or protect her without a moments hesitation.
Sometimes I wish I can wipe my memory clean and re-experience that first time joy I had watching this series as a kid
Same here I live vicariously through these reactors wish I could be a new fan of the show again
the amount of emotions a 15 year old cartoon draws out of us adults is insane and is why this show will be an all time favorite forever. enjoyed watching you two fall in love with this show!
This finale, in my opinion, is hands down one of the greatest in TV history. It had a bit of everything and it was just so well done. It's one of those endings that feels EARNED. What a fantastic show. Korra is really enjoyable too!
I can't confirm if it was 100% intentional the way i think it is. But one off my favorite things about that whole "cherry pit" thing is that the servant is voiced by Azula's VA so it's her talking down to herself in a way. Like i said I can't say it was by design as I can't prove it but it is an amazing detail if it was
it actually was her VA yes.
And I just noticed that all the maids in the scene resembled Azula as well.
you know Hello Future Me right? he has a theory that there was no cherry pit. his thought process goes like this: since a few minutes after this scene, Azula is shown hallucinating (her mom), he thinks she was starting to lose it then and hallucinated the maid. and if you look at the faces of the other maids, they seem surprised (yes it could be that they are surprised at Azula berating the maid), but he suggests maybe they were surprised at Azula shouting at nothing.
The second Ozai got grabbed by his goatee, he knew things were no longer swinging in his favor! What a badass move by Aang, and the way he just slaps away that hand full of fire!
Anyone else feel pity for Azula? She’s as much a product of abuse as Zuko is only she never had Iroh to lean on
"Guys, I can fix her"
@AlienBearCatI totally agree with you. I do pity her. But I don't feel sorry for her. Her abuse doesn't excuse her horrible actions. Zuko and Azula are both the possible outcomes of abuse. Either you overcome it and grow from it, or become bitter, hurt people, and perpetuate the cycle of abuse. They're both different sides of the same coin.
Well, I don't disagree about her being the victim of abuse, but she DID have someone in her life like Iroh; her mother. But the issue is that Azulon and Ozai "enabled" her sadistic traits and it eventually became out of her mother's control. I'm certain that any time their mother tried to discipline Azula, Ozai simply overruled her.
Mmmm, she did but she didn't rely on him.
Nah she deserved
This was a great reaction series, thanks for letting me experience my favourite show with some amazing people. I’m sad that it’s over but nothing gold can stay :)
What you said about trusting each other is a big point that can be easy to miss. I saw a youtube video someone made (sorry I forget who) where he talked allot about Toph's character growth, and one of the points he made was that she went from being incredibly uncomfortable riding Appa and putting a huge emphasis on her own self reliance to running around on air-ships doing whatever Sokka told her without any hesitation. Then there's Sokka's side where he's confident in his ideas and follows through on his responsibility, staying focused when they were separated from Suki and losing both his weapon's so he could hold on to toph. That last part isn't from the youtube video, just my own two cents.
Toph also threw them in the air before Sokka could finish saying where the airship was. As soon as she knew what he was going to say she trusted it implicitly and literally launched them into battle.
The video you're talking about is by Hello Future Me. His ATLA essays are the best in the game.
Azula lost the fight before it even started. All she had to do was keep the Dai Li
She was right about the Dai Li though, but the Royal guards?
Fun little parallel I hardly see anyone talk about is how both Aang and Zuko have starburst burn scars from Azula's lightning....Aang on his back and Zuko on his abdomen and both roughly the same height/placement.
Neat little nod to them being two sides of a coin throughout the show. :)
When this finale first aired, all 4 parts were released as one movie length episode. Although it is clearly planned to be easily broken up into 4 episodes for later reruns.
As much as Azula is a villain you love to hate throughout the show, I really appreciate that in the end, she is shown to be a broken child from a very abusive home. Hopefully, she can someday step out from her father's shadow and figure out who she really is.
The symbolism in the episode titles still moves me.
This show is the journey of a young airbender finding himself, from the first episode "the boy in the iceberg"
To the last, "Avatar Aang"
You know how confident Paku and Piando had to be going into this a water bender and a swordsman going up against an army of supercharged firebenders
After finding out that azula’s voice actress went into her emotional past to put 1000% into her cry, idk just feels extremely emotional. 14:35
I always tear up when they announce the coronation: “All hail Firelord Zuko!”
So happy to rewatch ATLA with you girls.
We didn't have to wait a week. They had a finale event on Nickelodeon in the middle of July, around the time of year that the comet would have occured. I was going into my senior year in high school and I was so hyped for the finale and yet so satisfied/sad that it had come to its conclusion. The first and the last words spoken in the show sum it up this way: "It's...perfect!"
"I can't believe the captain remembered my birthday!" Captain Boomerang never forgets. Drinks for all.
Great reactions and commentary. I loved taking the trip with you. Anyone have directions to Iroh's tea shop? A celebratory cup is in order.
At first the energy bending thing struck me as deus ex machina, but more and more it seems like a fantastic payoff to Aang’s personality. He was flexible and non confrontational but completely uncompromising about not taking Ozai’s life and it was that unbending principle that allowed him to bend Ozai’s energy without being corrupted.
Unbending principle in a show about bending. Great thought there.
It is and it's not. Even in real life, how many times has it happened to you that in the worst time something out of nowhere just pulls you out. As long as you're looking for a better solution, something always comes up out of nowhere.
@@thomaschristopherwhite9043 Aang knew he had the energy bending technique in his back pocket. If he didn't he probably would've sent that lightning right back to Ozai. Also, considering they have shown multiple pictures of lion turtles throughout the series, their presence isn't really new.
@@IamnotJohnFord Yeah that's not really what we're talking about about. What me and Sgt Wicket were talking about is that the mechanics of energy bending is an out of nowhere skill that is not forshadowed in the series. Even if the Lion turtle was.
What is foreshadowed is the willingness of the universe along with the spirit world to help the Avatar correct and fix the imbalance that the world has and though energy bending might be a deus ex machina, you can definitely attribute this lion turtle wisdom thing to the magical forces influencing the events the follow.
@@thomaschristopherwhite9043 I don't know how far they are into the Korra series, so I didn't reference that.

,The lion turtles would energy bend humans with elemental gifts and then remove those gifts when they got back into town. Yes, this was revealed later in the Korra series. But, this was how people became able to connect to the elements. Did they make all that up last minute and then just ran with it more during Korra series? I really don't know. I do doubt that the lion turtles as the overseers and ultimate guardians of balance were always meant to interfere rarely. I think that because of the fact that they appear in ATLA a few times as part of some forgotten lore.
It's easy to forget just how INSANELY powerful airbending is. And how powerful of an airbender Aang is on top of that, even without the Avatar state.
6:54 It's not that it's bright - Toph, despite being blind, still knows that it's a lot of fire because of how hot it is even from a distance. Such a cool way for them to explain the scale of it
As a child and now I always cry with Azula, throughout the series we were shown her resentment of her mother. And here is the final agnikai, it's just a work of art, music, animation, atmosphere, battle, everything is at the highest level. This is the coolest fight scene of all anime and cartoons, because we were carefully and slowly brought to this battle from the very beginning, and it fully justified itself
It was a pleasure rewatching ATLA with you ladies. Loved every minute
I remember way back when the finale aired. They did a special where both of the episodes were played back to back so the audience did not have to wait an extra week. I think the time slot with commercials was like an hour and half
If i remember correctly, they aired parts 1-4 as a full tv movie. Me and my best friend freaked out over this in like intermediate school.
Im actually impressed they managed to give this show a solid 8/10 ending. Usually kids shows dont manage to do that.
What a pleasant journey. ATLA is a masterpiece in narrative, and world building, and character. I wouldn't have found this channel if you didn't watch this show, and because of it y'all are probably my favorite reaction channel now. I could really see how genuinely you connected with this series.
This show has become one of my favorites in a ridiculously short time. It's a clever story and it's cleverly made.
PS: Maple is the cutest momo girl i've ever seen. Arianna is perfect for a Korra cosplay, she already looks like Korra.
EDIT: (Arianna please don't hate me XD) Arianna would also be an amazing Azula cosplay.
Azula's punishment for her deeds is her madness, i.e. a TOTAL lack of control. Being a character obsessed with control, domination and manipulation is now completely disregulated and unhinged.
Fitting, and haunting to witness. You almost have to feel sorry for her, because you have to wonder if things could've been different.
Loved how they made two different fights. One is intense, other is scary and hype machine. Everyone got their closure perfectly, no loose ends (except for zuko's mother which they covered in comics). Series was crafted from start to end. They barely made any changes to original plan and it turned out to be prefect.
i feel like azula slowly losing it was the only way zuko and katara could beat her
I want to thank you guys for reinvigorating my love for Avatar the last airbender & the franchise as a whole. I remember seeing the teasers back in 05 on nick when I was 10 and was immediately hooked from episode one, fast forward to when they did the four part special and had Nick in a chokehold the summer of 2008 I was geeking the whole way. I hadn’t watched the series in full since then, just here and there but rewatching it with you guys now at damn near 28 years old has made me love and appreciate the series more than ever, thank you Arianna & Maple for the best reactions I look forward to many more. #teamavatarforever #AANG
@@warlockthagoatBro I remember running around like a goof ball with no shirt off when Aang unleashed his full control avatar state and started kicking Ozais ass & then won 🔥🔥 hell of a childhood memory for me. Glad you found the same joy in the show I did.
Out all the eps, my favourite is the last episode "Part 4: Avatar Aang". It's just a perfect beautiful ending!
Yo poor Maple was STRESSIN the entire time lol
3:20 The two guys having a conversation in the bomb bay before Sokka dropped them were voiced by the creators.
Rest assured ladies, those of us that watched it live got the 4 part finale as a 2 hour special. I think the last half of season 3 also had daily episodes for the week leading up to it. 10/10 show, will always watch reactions to it
First episode of Avatar: "The Boy in the Iceberg"; the last episode: "Avatar Aang"
(Not counting the intro) First word spoken in Avatar: "It's"; last word spoken: "perfect" It's perfect
Aang didn't compromise on his believes and values because he didn't kill Ozai, which means his spirit is unbendable.
This is why he could take Ozai's firebending without being corrupted.
Well were finally here. I found this channel after looking for reactions to avatar the last airbender and i saw that you guys had only reacted to the first and second episode or so. 7 months later and this became my favorite react channel and ive got to watch you guys both grow as reactors wnd people. Its been an awesome journey guys! Thank you for everything up until this point and can't wait for more :)
The Normies one is definitely a great reaction as well. Got me into the whole reaction video genre
the contrast of the agni kai vs aang and ozais fight is INCREDIBLE. it’s so beautiful with just the sound of fire and subtle music against the intense blows of the other fight. WHEW.
Not sure if this was intentional, but it’s funny how Aang is hiding in a ball of earth to evade the fire lord kind of how he was accidentally hiding from the previous fire lords - and the rest of the world - in a ball of ice at the start of the series.
I think it's not really fair to say Azula got her "just desserts." Reason being is that I feel like it needs to be remembered that she is a literal child. She's 14. I know it's hard to forget considering how smart and weirdly enough "mature" she is but we gotta remember that while she's evil and crazy and sociopathic, she's also someone who was potentially groomed into who she is by a corrupt father and also didn't feel loved by the loving parent her mother and that clearly caused some major damage to her psyche and that's especially heartbreaking when it's done to a child. I'm honestly not ashamed to admit that despite everything she's done, I feel for her. It'd be different if she was an adult but since she's a young teenager, it's easier at least for me to feel empathetic towards her.
Arianna cosplay is crazy good… Jeeeze
There are some official comics handling Azula, as well as Zuko's mom. They're not the best comics in the world but if you're curious they do a decent job of tying up the loose ends.
Mai,Ursa and Iroh the only ppl that stood by Zuko from the beginning and never switched up on him
Mai took awhile to get there but generally yea I agree
@@BornInsane0 Zuko the one that pushed her away
This is one of the few series I can watch over and over again especially from the beginning. And blaze watch this too lol.
I grew up with this masterpiece. Most emotional episode for me was “the desert” when aang got ANGRY and sad that he lost appa. And to this day my favorite episode is the fire bending masters episode with the dragons. Love it. Glad you guys enjoyed :)
my favorite moment was when uncle Iroh was singing for his son...''Tales of Ba Sing Se'''
I believe when the show aired these episodes, they aired Western Air Temple to the finale in the course of a week, Sozin's Comet was in it self a 2hr block for all 4 episodes on either Friday or Saturday night.
arianna looks like what they're predicting what humans will look like in the future! shes a baddie
Zuko stone cold face while Azula is having a mental breakdown always cracks me up 😂😂😂
Rewatching this series with y'all has been a really fun time. Arianna and Maple are lucky, though. They didn't have to wait week to week for 3 years to watch this. They got to experience it way faster.
Bet these two never would of guessed after the first episode they were gonna love this series that much.
Anyone else find it lowkey funny how the last line in ATLA, probably one of the strongest and best animated series, was Toph making a blind joke? 😂😂
FUN FACT: The only time we see Azula's mom literary said she love her, was in her hallucination
That is sad
So glad I found the channel during my “band of brothers reaction phase”
Y’all covered this series and it’s also one of my all time faves. So fun to watch these with yall. Same feeling I get showing someone these series for the first time
I love watching this with new viewers because their emotions spill into me and I get all emotional all over again.
Loved re watching this with you two. Definitely one of the best shows ever!
Azula is like one of my favorite villains of all time, like she is just so good. she is written so well as a villain, its so rare to see such a well-written female villain who stayed as the villain for the whole show and was KILLING it.
ATLA is one of the few perfect shows in existence. Especially the 4 part finale.
Also, I have to thank you ladies for bringing us along this journey with you.
Yeah, we who knew, know this series was one of the greatest ever made, but, to see these things relived in your faces...
...Like seeing the family opening presents on Chrismas Day.
This story, and all its immortal life lessons...it's precious...and so are you.
In the original airing, they did all four final episodes back to back on one day. :) They weren't quite that cruel.
One of the best rewatch journeys... Thank you
It's been a pleasure re taking this journey with you guys. And the cosplay is fantastic 👏
I loved watching you guys on this journey and will be sticking around for more reactions
This has been an amazing journey to be on with you guys! I'm so glade you enjoyed it!
I thought Maple would be simping for Ozai like Sebastian Stan 😂
Thank you so much for reacting to this you two. You guys gave me a reason to watch this show again and watching you guys enjoy it as much as we did when we saw it was awesome 👌
