Fun fact: the creators wanted to tell this story in Alta with aang but couldn’t find the right time to do it since he was already tune in with his spirituality, so this is the perfect one that korra was the one to go on this journey.
Wasn't it also because they didn't know where to put these episodes without it detracting from the main story of ATLA as well?
@@lalalalisa41or they could have just start with the story and then aangs story if it started like this people would understand the atla world better
People keep saying that “this episode retconned ATLA”, but I think they just don't know what a retcon is
If you think about it for more than two seconds, you can realize that this episode doesn't contradict the idea that the first benders are the Moon, badgermoles, dragons and sky bisons. Yeah, lion-turtles gave humans the ability to bend the elements, but that doesn't mean they mastered them. They're martial arts, so of course they need teachers, and these are the first benders
Heck, we see Wan training firebending with a dragon in this very episode, and other humans say they've never seen anyone firebend like him after that! People just look for any excuse to complain about this show...
What it does do is completely change Season 2 from being about a fraught political situation to a dichotomous good vs. evil final showdown
@@MaxWelton it is not good vs evil but light and dark. Good and bad are human contrasts they are the embodiment of light and dark not doing it for personal gain but i do get why a lot of people get confused about that.
@@tyleryardley845 same thing lol. its a pretty obvious play on God vs the devil and the avatar state is pretty much just going god mode
"What was this, ten thousand years ago." Why yes, yes it was.
There's a fan theory that every time the Avatar gets reborn, their animal companion gets reborn with them. So, Naga is Korra's animal companion, & she is the reborn version of Appa, Fang, & Wan's cat-deer Mula.
Not true, L theory
@@brando8611where's your source
Whether it true or not that's pretty cool...
@@swagtachiuchiha1501 it’s a fan theory. What do you mean. It’s a theory made up by fans that I don’t agree with. Not saying it wouldn’t be cool
@@swagtachiuchiha1501yangchens bison was murdered long before she died
Did you know the battlefield where Wan died was the field where Zuko was riding through in Zuko alone
While accurate that the artwork for the battlefield looks identical. From a World building perspective that makes no sense. 10,000 years later that field would definitely look completely different.
If it's a temperate climate, Rain would have worn them away by now.
If it's a desert climate, Wind/Sand would have worn them away by now.
If it was a cold climate, ice would buildup in any imperfecttions and they would have cracked.
In the real world, the oldest surviving pyramids are about 3,000 years old and they're in rough shape. 10,000 years they don't have a chance.
And Even if all the stone is granite so you can ignore the previous three issues, most places that have huge battles are important strategic locations, which means future battles will happen in that same location.
Basically there's always a war happening somewhere in the world so they were just recycling artwork.
Humans cannot hold two elements but Raava can. Hence him using an element, then Raava switching it for another, then another, and him not being able to bend all himself. He can technically do all when she's inside him but it will kill him. But when they become one, he essentially is Raava. They're spirits are bonded forever. If Raava can hold multiple elements, then the Avatar can
Thank you for this!! 🤩🙏🏼
Not sure if it was already mentioned, but I liked the detail that the order Wan learned the elements is the same as/defined the Avatar cycle (fire, air, water, earth). These two episodes are definitely among my favorite episodes across both series. Love your videos and glad you are enjoying LoK!
❤️❤️❤️
32:36 "This b*tch" lmao
33:38 "We will be together for all of your lifetimes." reminds me of Toph when she asked Aang "Do you think friendships can last more than a lifetime?" T^T
Love that last line 🥹🙏🏼❤️
i just realized when Korra is flying away at the end, the “island” she fly’s past is definitely a lion turtle
No I don’t think so lol that’s was just an island
@@vanbush3264I wiiiiiiiieeeesh it was a lion turtle 😫😫😫!!🩷🩷🩷💞 that would be so epic
I thought so too, the lion turtle in ATLA would for sure still be around. It makes sense that it would have been the one to get Korra to the island as well.
They didn’t know they were going to get to make a season two but used season two to do more world building and expand the AVATAR universe. While that does make segments slower. It sets the stage for what’s to come in seasons three & four. It’s all worth it.
Not dee losing it when she saw him bending water 😂 I died lol always have a fun time watching you guys react to these episodes can't wait for the rest and especially season 3
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 why am I the way I am lmaooo -D
Something I like about this episode is that it reconfirms, like several other episodes, despite what many fans think, that everyone reincarnates in this universe. Not just the avatar. Friendships transcend lifetimes. The difference with the Avatar is that it's possible to recongise the reincarnation because Raava is with them through all their lifetimes, as she says when Wan dies
❤️❤️❤️
The second avatar must've been like: 'wtf'.
lol!
He could not actually bend all the elements without rava inside him
Ahh this makes so much sense now!
All the avatars get to be 36 forever except Roku. He's 72.
😂😂
Wow, good ear, Dee! Instantly recognized Serena Williams. And Steven Yeun too! 👍
☺️😉
Serena Williams is professional victim that let her title affect her ego. No self control and has had her temper out of control on numerous occasions. Especially during her match with Naomi Osaka
@@redfieldwong717Yappers🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
It’s actually INSANE to think about how “easy” Aang had it with the firelord compared to this giant, dark spirit. I love seeing Dee’s reactions to Wan’s story, she was too hyped 😭
I am toooo hyped!!! 🤩🥹 thanks for watching with us! -D 🥰
yeah ozai actually wasnt that huge of a threat, every avatar seems to have to deal with a huge dictator, the reason why aang had it so hard is because of his age, he was so young, and because while yes he is the avatar, all avatars have their own set of morals and personalities unique to them, and the fact that not even his own past lives could help with his internal conflict really sealed the deal, i think while it may seem he had it easy as ozai isnt actually that big of a threat, aang found a way to carve his own path and in a sense, he made a simple problem harder for himself, however it paid off as he got to meet a lion turtle and unlock an insane ability that we dont see too many other avatars use or even have, it also helped him with yakone! 😁 all in all, aang is unique because we dont see too many avatars in tune with their spiritual side as much as aang is, most avatars we see seem to be more on the brash side witha fighting personality, which isnt a bad thing at all either, however considering how huge of a threat vaatu is, it really goes to show how amazing korra is of an avatar, i dont understand the hate for korra considering her rogue’s gallery is literally overkill, the red lotus was already a huge threat, now throw in kuivira and her earth empire, a bloodbending mastermind with an insane ability, and the spirit of chaos himself?! nah thats insane, the stakes are so much higher in korra in my opinion
@@ethansibounmaI don't think people hate korra for not having defeated powerful enemies, they hate her because of her personality and how rash she is! Also even though vaatu is much more powerful than ozai I personally still find him much more threatening than Mr evil kite! It also doesn't help the show that the avatar gang in this show is so bad when compared to the one in ATLA!
@@DriftingMaze True, i wish they had better designs for spirits rather than generic demons and flying kites, but honestly my point still stands from a story perspective korra had it hard, so did aang, korra can be a lot more immature and annoying for sure, she is horrible at being a mediator, but i think thats kind of the point to be honest. Ozai’s presence is more intimidating i mean his voice acting is 10/10 plus there was a huge buildup to fighting him, in aangs time they needed a fighter but he was a peacemaker, and in korras they need a peacemaker but she was a fighter, thats kinda the point yk
@@ethansibounma yeah I get the point about korra but sadly it still doesn't make her less annoying.
To answer your question, the lead huntsman was voiced by Travis Willingham, who I know from Fullmetal Alchemist and Critical Role
When Rava and Wan fused together Wan possessed Rava’s Spiritual Knowledge and that’s how he knew what to do.
Remember back in Season 1 of Avatar The Last Airbender when Aang talked to Roku & Roku said that Aang has to learn to master all 4 elements in less then a year? Aang said that he can't do it that fast, but then Roku said that he can since he's done it before & will do it again. At the time this could be Roku referencing himself & all of the other past Avatars when they learned to master the 4 elements, but with this episode it can be interpreted that Roku was specifically referring to Avatar Wan since he mastered all 4 elements in about 1 year.
This should have been its own series
My theory is that
1) Everyone in avatar world reincarnates, but the avatar gets to keep the memories of their past life due to Raava acting like a hard drive.
Thus every avatar is the reincarnation of Wan's and Raava's spirit.
2) Raava and Wan's spirits are like mixing cold water and sugar. Sugar dissolves easily in warm water than in cold water. Sugar also eventually settles out in cold water unless you heat it up.
A spirit portal during harmonic convergence portal provides the energy to allow them to coexist in this stable state. In our sugar and cold water analogy, it's like heating up water on the stove while mixing the sugar. The sugar is well mixed and water looks clear.
This is not to say Wan and Raava's spirits are permanently attached together. You can always add more energy to separate sugar from the water aka evaporation.
3) Wan probably touched the spirit portal out of desperation if anything. Luckily, in this case, it was a good choice.
4) The order that Wan learned the elements is the same as the reincarnation cycle [fact]
I love seeing how shook Dee gets with the new lore. Love how you both wear your emotions on your sleeve, we were all sooooo hype watching this the first time.
Yesss exactly!! You get our hype 🥹🙏🏼❤️
3:10 “my name is Mark, and will show you how I became….” *blood splats* INVINCIBLE 😂 shout out to Steven Yeun, did Wan incredible justice
My favorite two parter ❤!!!! This has to be among the best episodes in all of avatar :) it feels almost biblical
We loved this two-parter!! 🤩🤩
I had an idea about a AVATAR Anthology series. Book 1 with Avatars Wan, Kuruk, the 2nd with two (new to us) Avatars. Book 3 changed to have Avatar Ruok then The Sun Warriors and the final Book 4 sees us spend a whole season with THE DRAGON OF THE WEST as we see Iroh's journey from a energetic bratty cadet raising through the Fire Nation military ranks, meet his wife to be and ultimately the death of his son. It think it'd be a great series.
The original Air Bender tattoos are actually Raava
I was eating cheesecake and drinking sparkling water while watching this one 😂. I am so glad you loved the episode! Wan means 10,000 in Chinese, and first avatar was 10,000 years before Korra and Vattu as well as Raava were born 10,000 years before Wan, meaning at Korra's time they are 20,000 years old.
Bending has always been there with the Dragons, Badgermoles, Sky Bisons and the Moon using the powers always until the Lion Turtles (Holders of the elements) gave the elements for the humans to keep for the first time in Wan's lifetime. The humans walking away with the fire bending power are the first of the Fire Nation! It was so cool to see.
Such an amazing origin story! We loved every second of it. Haha glad you were able to enjoy a cheesecake and sparkling water while watching with us too ☺️🙏🏼
Wan is 10,000 in Mandarin. I love words.
Easily my favorite 2 episodes of this season, definitely top 5 for the whole series
Elements were given
Bending was learned
Thats the explanation
I'm still convinced there is/was a lion turtle out there that could bend metal, but was too metal to help humans 😂
FACTS Meesh. Vaatu even got that deep ass evil bass in his voice.
My theory is the old fire lady who helped Korra in these episodes is AZULA, it just make sense after what happen to her in the comic and also azula would be around that age in that time.
Remember in the Season 2 episode Zuko Alone where he travels to that town Earth Kingdom village in the middle of nowhere? Well, at 1 point he is on a path that has 2 strange circular objects on it that are never explained what they are, yet we see in this episode that Avatar Wan died next to them after some battle here.
Finallyyyyyyyy, these two episodes are so hype
Sooo good!! 🤩🤩
When you realize that being the Avatar, means being Raava's Avatar
This was my best episodes in the Legend of Korra from Season 1 to 2 I just love passion in the bending and the lion turtles and Wan… Especially when he was doing the dragon dance with the dragon like Aang and Zuko did… Reminds me so much of the culture and that every elements has their unique forms of bending from ATLA… I wish they had follow that same rules in Legend of Korra instead of punches and kicks to bend… But great reaction guys I can’t wait for the next episodes… We get close to season 3
❤️❤️❤️
37:47 i'm thinking the memory of Ravah was forgotten either long ago during the line of avatars,or directly as soon as the avatar after Wan took over ( no idea really ) so that's why Aang and Roku had no memory of her either imo . Korra was forced to remember in order to heal her amnesia but as far as we know , only Wan was aware of the existence of Ravah .
My personal fan theory is that the old woman who helps heal Korra in this 2 parter is actually an older Azula, because she's a firebender & it would be cool to see her help Korra as a way of redeeming herself for her actions back in the previous series.
Same😅
That would be a crazy reveal!! 🤩
Azula has blue flames while this lady has normal colour flames tho...
@@mikhaelis1447 I don't think it's her either but TBF the blue flames are just hotter so presumably she's capable of red too. In the Netflix adaptation she's using red and only briefly uses blue showing she's capable of upping her game
Oh shit
As I've said before, my absolute favorite two episodes in all of Avatar.
Dee that is The Avatar State. Rava the force of light, the force of good, brings balance to the world, Rava is the reason why there is an Avatar by fusing with a human.
Dee at 6:18 is actually like my visual .. when my upstairs neighbour makes so much noises during the midnight :D
"Until Korra opened it... *nervous laughter*" LMAO, love you both.
😂😂❤️❤️
These are my 2 favourite episodes of the season 😅 so interesting to watch the history of the first avatar
03:05 Dee 2024: "Get inside of me! Let's go!"
😂😂😂😂😂
Now we know who Fire Lord Sozin’s decedents are Wan best friend. Imagine that the first time an element was used for power and fire control it’s Fire.
If you look at the lion turtle’s foreheads they all have different symbols on them. The lion turtle that Aang met is the same as the fire lion turtle. Same symbols.
I love the art style with these episodes.
18:03 lol Master Dee, Tear Bender
Great episode. Enjoyed the reaction.
😂😂🙏🏼
Guys by the way.. What was the Avatar cycle? Fire - Air - Water - Earth.. Then Fire again, right? .. That Cycle of Avatars is actually what Wan's learning element order... First of all he learned fire.. Then he learned air.. Then water and then earth.. Because of this, Avatars are borning with that order
37:49 Katara did reference Raava way back in s1 ep3, she just didn’t know her name.
Really?! 😱
When Aang lost it after finding gyatso's skeleton, Katara said "it's his avatar spirit, he must have triggered it"
hell ya! Here for the two-parter, then I'll be back for S3
Avatar Stinky is the greatest chapter of the whole series. That avatar theme is so powerful.
Guys sorry for 4 comment by me but last one is this :D Do you realize that island at 34:44 ? That island was the island what Korra healed by firebenders.. And do you realize how round shape the island is? :))) I mean perfectly round shape it has.. Could it be a lion turtle? Because it called Korra and took her for healing process.. Remember.. They found Korra at the beach of this island.. Like Aang went to a lion turtle island while he was unconscious.. :)) Mirror situation
5:25 Waow What a guess .. Dee " Is this like a ten thousand years ago?" .. Amazing vision.. Yes exactly ten thousand years ago.. But the question is how could you guess that correctly.. :D Btw we know first avatar lived ten thousand years ago because harmonic convergence is about to happen a week at Korra's timeline.. And it happens once per ten thousands years.. :))
Loved y’all’s reaction to these episodes. I remember watching this for the first and I was sooo excited to see the story of the first avatar. The music, the different animation style… just amazing. On a different note, what does Dee know about Yu-Gi-Oh 😂
Thanks so much!! Seriously loved this episode 🤩🤩
Lmaooo I love yugioh 😂🤣 if we could react to it, I would!! ❤️
-D
30:13 Yes Dee... There is exactly what that means.. Avatar state is actually Raava spirit..
1st avatar being called Wan makes him Invincible 😉
Avatar Wan is voiced by Steven Yeun, whom also voices Mark Grayson in Invincible.
Yes, they say that at the beginning of the episode when first hear his voice lol
Ok but real talk where did Dee get their Jacket from? Cause it’s so good!!!
To bring balance to the world and make up for his mistakes Wan must be ...
The Avatar *splash of very very dark red tea all over the title card.*
No matter how many times I watch these episodes, it gets me every time. Steven did an amazing job. Watching these with you ladies is always a good time. Thank you🙏🏼🖤
We loved this episode so much!! Thanks for watching along 🥰❤️🙏🏼
@@MeeshDeeReacts 🙏🏼🙏🏼
He is...THE WAN.
So funfact when the avatar dies in the avatar state,the cycle ends because Raava will die🚨🤞🏽the link 💯
Yay! Love these episodes. It's funny, I thought the first half of S2 was boring af. But watching it on speed run, I actually really like it! Lol
Haha yay! So glad you can watch along with us 🥰🙏🏼
Wan is played by steven yeun too
These two episodes is in the top 5 of both series...
100000!!
I love wan!!!
Loved this reaction. I remember when I saw these episodes, I loved it, but I was sure no one else would. I was wrong.
I too wonder about the Lion Turtles. Are there water, air, fire and earth lion turtles? Or are they just deciding to be one or the other because their humans are limited to one element. Which kind did Aang run into?
6:50 “sigeee” 💀💀💀 Matigas ang ulo ni Won
LMAAAOO omg you are a real one 🤩🙏🏼 🇵🇭
Girls the lion turtle didn't give Wan the elements just the fire element
Hey Avatar Meesh and Avatar Dee "Happy Monday ". I hope you two had a wonderful weekend. This a great two part episode of Avatar Wan and to learn the origin of the very first Avatar. But anyway I hope you two have a wonderful day. Stay safe, take care and stay amazing.
Hey Avatar Rob!! We absolutely loved this 2-part origin story 🤩🙏🏼 we hope you have a wonderful week ahead! ❤️
Meesh & Dee Awesome Video/Episode Today!!🔥🐐🐐💎
Hahaha. Love the mangga. Esp with sago and coconut milk 😋 Btw Dee your reactions are too cute esp when you bowed to the spirit lmao.
Hahaha you already know what time it is!! 🤩🇵🇭❤️ thank you for watching with us!! ☺️
Opening the portals is not a bad thing! Wish ppl would stop acting like it's so bad. It's necessary for balance.
U should read turf comic then u will understand opening portals was a bad decision wan was right by remain them close korra is nonsense how balance could be maintain if evil people or evil spirit not destroy each other worlds with vatu gone does nit mean all bad spirits are gone the example is in turf comic and balance has to nothing with portals from past 10 thousands years balanced was maintainwd by ever avatar even with portals closed infact closed portals are more benificial because it is good for both worlds that evil from both sides not harm each other worlds
@@user-jh8vk2vw4s I will say that Wan was right in that he didn't think humans and spirits were ready to get along, but when are you really though? Korra made a choice that she thought was right and like any Avatar, they'll have to deal with their actions. Wan thought he was doing what was right as well but that also had an effect on the world's balance.
*Spoilers for comics*
Personally for me, I love that Korra leaving the portals open called back to Aang's dilemma with the spirits in The Rift. General Old Iron didn't think there was a place for spirits in the physical world anymore and that saddened Aang. So seeing what Korra did was almost like an answer for Aang. Good or bad, I liked that outcome.
@@lalalalisa41 but in the end wan was still right not korra wan was truly wise becuase he lived among spirits and knows them much better than nonsense korra so his decision to close portals is right like i said i turf comic evil from both sides fused with each other creating another powerful villian which was not good for both worlds nor blanace remained in spirit world nor material world and what guarantee korra can give that in future further these types of events cannot happen but wan was wise his decisiom was right not shity korra korra is below average avatar just a hype and people r dying to defend her and trying hardly to show her she was best of all but in reality she was worst of all
Meesh, Dee, both of you have seen Deathly Hallows Part 1. I'd appreciate hearing your opinions on something I picked up when first watching this two-parter. Book 2 & DH Part 1 have a very similar act structure: starting out slow they transition midway through with radically different art styles, & finishing with action. Maybe not now, but nearing the season finally, it would be fun to revisit this & discuss it in further detail. I have some parallels I want to make, but will hold off. Would like to hear if I'm the only one. =^._.^=
Best 2 episodes this season
💯!!
32:35 LMFAO I CHOKED
😂😂
Its crazy how the fire nation is the first nation to be independent , also the fact that one person can be this much influential that the world will be literally divided to the era before him and the era after him ,it kind of reflects real world , like how our world was 360 degree different before and after internet , religion,sports, politics,certain historical events like ww or whatsoever. And also it been confirmed from the symbols of the top of the heads of the lion turtles , the fire lion turtles who gave wan fire was the same one who helped aang!
Nice intro sorry I just restarted watching your videos
Korra waa
Aang and wan mastered all elements in a year now i realize why roku said to aang that u can do it for u have done it before
You girls need new upload on your other couples channel!
take me back to the older days in the avatarverse, not a fan of the whole 1920s era
I Loved that they added Wan, always down for a ‘little’ backstory. I also tought the last two episodes where boring too, so this was a breather for me.
It’s definitely a turning point of the season. I lowkey often skip the episodes of season 2 that come before this one when doing a Legend of Korra rewatch
E
Yeah, you're over the hump now. Book 2 finishes stronger.
So basically this is just a long winded story about how an evil kite got stuck in a tree.🪁🌳
"super boring"? :(
We wouldn’t have Won without season 2 of Korra
Even though these episodes were fun the first time watching, god vs satan trope just doesn’t fit avatar at all and honestly wished they didn’t do this. And these episodes also ruined the pacing for the second half by introducing harmonic convergence so late and makes everything leading up to these episodes pointless. First half might have been boring for a lot of people but it atleast had in interesting aspect about politics and wasn’t badly written like the second half of the season.
i agree that the typical light vs dark god vs satan black and white type villains and heroes get really old really fast-- but i personally still enjoy this origin story for the avatar a lot. I just wish they made raava and vaatu more nuanced lol.... i also agree that the placement of the episodes is weird i think it actually would've been better if it was shown as a flashback in the first two episodes with bits of current events with korra placed in between and then having them remove the whole korra amnesia plotline. would've flowed better TT
Personally, I like to think that they're more order/chaos than good/evil, and that only together could they bring true balance, but yeah as presented in the show, it kind of breaks the nuance so dear to this universe
As for the pacing, it didn't bother me that much, but I get your point. Unfortunately, it's more Nickelodeon's fault than the creators'...
@@jugokove Plus, removing the amnesia plotline would've avoided what I consider to be one of the worst moments in the series... But no spoilers...
@@PrDrNintendoit wouldn’t have avoided anything lol. Mike and Bryke were already made their mind about a fresh start. It was their decision and was going to happen sooner or later.
@@desna3677 I don't think we're thinking about the same moment
Avatar wan always remind of zuko he looks alike zuko got banished for others learn firebending from dragons and he is also from fire nation wan was himself avatar while zuko was his firebending master in aang's lifetime and good friend and he has some kind of similar dress while living among spirits like zuko has in the beach episode zuko redirect lightining and wan redirect fire on bridge in spirit wilds more over zuko pass through the same battleground in zuko alone episode where wan died
This is not definately best episode of season 2 but whole korra show its the only best thing we got its like blessings in disguise
