We are ONE episode away from the ATLA Series finale 😭 We love our Avatar fam! Thank you all for your support 🥹❤️
What was your favorite episode of Book 3?! Let us know👇🏼
My favorite episode has to be the Southern Raiders. Katara being my favorite character during my rewatch, I just love a whole episode dedicated to what she’s been through. Also is the finale going to be one long video or will it be split up with each episode? Either way I’m looking forward to seeing the finale reactions!!
There's so much that is amazing in season 3 but to me the best episode so far (not counting finale) is prob S3.E6 ∙ The Avatar and the Fire Lord!🔥
We’ll be splitting the finale into 2 episodes 🤩🙏🏽 thanks so much for watching with us! ❤️
Avatar and the Firelord is one of Meesh’s personal favorites too 😉🤩
There are so many good episodes, but I think my favorite episode, ruling out the finale, might be 3x11 "Day of Black Sun Part 2" because Zuko finally resolves his inner conflict by confronting his father. After following him for three seasons, it's really rewarding to see Zuko overcome his personal issues. It shows that Iroh's guidance, patience and love weren't in vain T^T
Of course the playwrites sources said Toph was a huge dude, no one wanted to admit they got beat by a tiny blind girl 😂
It's great because there's both the in-universe and out-of-universe explanation.
Fun fact the actor who plays Zuko in the play is voiced by Derek Basco, Dante's (Zuko's) actual Brother
Wow I never knew that lmao, now I see it as mocking his brother
I call this episode "Revenge of the Cabbage Man " because he's one of the sources of information for the producer.
My favourite thing about this episode is that while a lot of people might consider it filler; its not. Its literally a fire nation propaganda piece. Its world building on top of being a recap. Incredible writing on the part of the creators and writing team for this episode
They are no filler episodes in this series. Getting real tired of people treating this like this is an anime.
@@redfieldwong717 I don't know... The Great Divide seemed pretty filler to me
You cut the best line "Did you have to steal that waterbending scroll?" "It just gave me so much hope!"
"the writers a genius" the self indulgence
If you go back to all the other episodes, you might want to look at when and where Toph punches people. It really says a lot that the "gimmicky thing she just does" is eventually explained fully and it places everything else into perspective, but only on hindsight. Wonderful writing.
Sokka and Suki are relationship goals
This episodes illustrates how the fire nation uses war propaganda to fuel the war! Also it’s funny too see the all the sources the play writer interview said Toph was a huge muscular guy, not admitting how powerful Toph a little blind girl was
The brilliance of this is that a normal show would have done a clip show. Nobody likes a clip show except for the writers because they don't have to work hard on it. But you can clearly see they worked hard on this. And I can't stand clip shows. But I love this. It's one of my favorite episodes.
The stage hand is the MVP of this episode:) Please have your tissues ready for the 4 part finale. Lots of tear bending to come…..:)
The girl who’s playing Aang in the play is one of Ty lee’s 6 sisters
Wait what‽ Never heard of this.. That's awesome : ) Where does that information came from?
The tonal whiplash of realizing that the whole play is actually a form of Fire Nation propaganda is my favorite part of this episode. The whole episode is a nice palate cleanser to give you time to breathe before the finale but it still reminds you of the dire situation at hand towards the end.
I've been waiting for this reaction since Dee first said Tear Bending in Book 1. 😂
Fun fact: Aang's actor is actually one of Ty Lee's sisters
is this confirmed? I never knew but its definitely a good enough theory that i’m willing to accept it into my head canon, since ty lee’s family are airbender descendants
@@0hReactionsthat isn't possible
That's not confirmed
@@0hReactionswriters said it was canon
@@lokimiguel2452nothing they said is impossible. Ty Lee has 6 sisters, so who’s to say one of them didn’t become an actress like how Ty Lee ran off and joined the circus? As for being descended from an air nomad, why would that be impossible? Kyoshi’s mother was an airbender. Who’s to say one of Ty Lee’s Fire Nation ancestors didn’t have a child with an air nomad?
It's funny how toph is a guy cuz the writers got all their info from soldiers that didnt wanna say they were beat by a lil blind girl
It would have been sweet if Katara pointed that out and Toph’s smugness fell off 😂😂as much as I love Toph it would’ve been funny to see her grumble and be grumpy for one last time🤣
Oh man, this is the third reaction channel I follow who uploaded a reaction to my favorite episode today!
THE GREATEST Recap episode is hereee.
A LOT to talk about in this ep:
• This ep Forces the characters to see their flaws and changes. These actors are exaggerations but there is still some truth in there.
• The show writers and actors are making fun of themselves. They agree that the Great Divide is the worst ep so they skip it, like most people do irl. And I'm sure the voice actors do feel like they are on repeat a lot (Zuko's honor, Katara's hope and Sokka's obsession with food)
• Showrunners are acknowledging statements from fans. The shipping wars between Kataangers and Zutarians. Jet's death being unclear. They paid a LOT of attention to their fans and respect the fanbase. And apparently the staff pitched in money of their own for the finale to be animated and seeing the amount of Love they had for the series Nickelodeon allowed them to do it.
• They Foreshadow the final two main fights in the climax between the two Protagonists and two main Antagonists during Sozin's Comet.
• Aang was originally supposed to be a prankster hero who won fights through being clever with tricks and had fun in fighting instead of the Pacifist Monk that hates fighting that we know (u can see that in the Unaired Pilot ep) and Theatre Aang being played by a woman is a reference to the fact that Nickelodeon wanted to cast an adult woman to play Aang (women playing young boys is common in VAing), but the creators insisted on getting an actual 12-year-old boy.
•Toph wanting to be a muscly guy, and her saying "I wouldn't cast it any other way" is a reference to the fact that the creators chose to change her to be a blind girl when she was originally supposed to be a muscly guy.
• And They basically poke fun at Zutara (which ngl, is kinda fked up for someone who ships them)
Some VA names for the Theatre actors:
• Katara: Grey DeLisle (aka the voice of Azula)
• Sokka: Scott Menville (aka Robin in Teen Titans)
• Zuko: Derek Basco (the brother of Dante Basco)
• Ozai, Bumi, and Jet: Dee Bradley Baker (aka Appa & Momo)
• Azula: Tara Strong (aka way too many animated characters to list)
• Yue: Jennie Kwan (aka the voice of Suki)
Now the Kataangst in this ep despite being a little cringe is still pretty good. But People take it wayyy too seriously. Yes he wasnt supposed to kiss her when she asked him not to but in his defense not only is he a 12 yr old boy but also that he probably felt very insecure because of Zuko and Sokka (Zuko being good looking and Sokka having suki). And what he did was wrong, so he learns and decides to give her space (It also teaches the kids that watch the show to not go around kissing people as it could make them very uncomfortable).
And katara being not ready is not just because she is young but probably because she saw and remembered Aang dying in the play (she canonically tried to heal him every day and kept questioning her own healing abilities when Aang was in a Coma in the "Lost Adventures" Comics) so she already is kind of traumatized. Add that when they kiss on the day of Invasion the entire plan fails, so she most likely thinks that Love is bad omen. I think that's why she rejected him just then and she just had the episode about her reliving her mother's death too.
People try to say Katara never had feelings for Aang, that she was a Trophy and that it was Forced but She absolutely did. She loved Aang a lot and was afraid to lose him. Like any normal person would be.
And the episode ending with the audience cheering at the end is a morbid reminder that they're in enemy territory and this was more than entertainment, but actually a propaganda tool is just Amazing. And it makes the episode Canon imo.
I love this show so much. Your reactions to the Finale is just around the corner and The Live action is 5 days away. Very excited 😊😄.
Also I'm guessing u will be posting the finale in 2 videos with 2 parts each (like most people do). I'll also suggest that when u launch ur Patreon that u upload the entire series as some people do like watching Uncut and Unedited. I personally can't afford it (I'm a student who lives alone) but I wish you the very best 😄.
Hope u have a great weekend and see u in the finale 🥰😁.
Tremenda Biblia
suki voiced yue? thats crazy 😂
WOW thank you for these insights! Blown away from all the voice actors that played the theatre actors.
We completely understand and were just happy you're apart of the YT family. We always look forward to your comments. SEE YOU IN THE FINALE & LIVE ACTION🔥🔥🔥
Uh no what Aang did wasnt inherently wrong. That’s the thing about being a guy. You learn to make mistakes. Bad timing was all it was.
@@redfieldwong717 Yep, it also tells young guys that they need to respect boundaries, even if it feels unfair. Unfortunately people get too butthurt on Aang’s account.
Katara simply wasn’t ready to take the leap that would have alleviated Aang’s mind but that would also leave them open to greater pain if one of them died.
Lil Meesh and Dee! Im glad I found you lil hamsters’ reactions🐹❤️
❤️❤️❤️
This episode is so funny and entertaining😂😂😂😂😂
I can't express enough of an appreciation for how self-aware and perfectly the writers made fun of their own show with this episode. Honestly I don't know of any other series that incorporated so many fanbase opinions to this degree, tranforming a multi-seasonal recap episode into something original and highly entertaining. Team Avatar's exaggerated personalities, The Great Divide mention, the in-house Toph gag regarding her intended character design, Jet's fate, the Zutara shippers, Zuko's growing hair, we even had each of our protagonists reflect on their own behaviour and actions! Just superb😂
Don't forget the "your scar is on the wrong side" gag
9:45 After the comments coming out from the cast about the new live action show, this might actually be true.
El mejor capitulo de temporada 😂😂😂😎😎😎 los creadores son unos genios
I do hope in the days before the new live action shows comes out.
There will be a reaction to the one movie that came out after this and teased, but happily, never got a sequel
Just to get the full experience for Dee , and im sure that way the reaction to the new show will be even better 😄
The only thing I hate about this episode is Kataras dumb excuse on why she’s not returning her feelings to Aang. The war has been going on for a 100 years and who exactly has that prevented anyone from hooking up? I’m sure it was the writers choice to build up tension,but if a girl told me that I would’ve just moved on to someone else. I don’t have time to wonder how someone might feel about me.
I mean to be fair Aang didn’t care about finding someone else right then and there and why would he? He had to save the world in a few days and wanted to know if Katara loved him back or if he’d interpreted all the affection she’d showed him in the wrong way. Obviously Katara had loved him that whole time (you don’t create a Tzunami and cry your heart out the moment a dear friend gets hit by lightning and literally dies or threaten to kill someone if they try to hurt him again).
Despite it being in her complete right to not start their relationship on the cusp of a battle for the world, she could have probably handled it better instead of saying ‘I’m confused’.
They’re kids so it makes sense that it went this way, if they’d been a bit older they would have probably gotten together and then put their foot down to remember that they needed to prioritize winning the war if they wanted to have a future together. No matter how much Aang loved her, he wouldn’t have turned away from his duty to save the world. And no matter how much Katara loved him, she would never jeopardize his duty for her own feelings. They’re both kids and they would have loved to do nothing more than stay in bed and make out but they had to save the world first.
For example, Sokka and Suki would risk meeting the same fate in battle but they didn’t have to focus their entire mind in dueling the most powerful firebender (not most skilled) in the world, a grown ass man and probably an extremely skilled fighter (since Azula is his child) while having only a few months of training with two elements and having mastered only two of them and not having honed any of the two for years like Ozai’s probably done.
I’m sure that would be pretty damn stressful considering Aang is also probably the youngest avatar to ever find himself in such a situation. If this had been GoT we would be expecting Aang to lose 100%…
She doesn't need an excuse I think this is pretty terrible writing since they wanted them to end up together, especially so close to the end, this episode shows that Katara doesn't feel the same way. It was a bad choice to force them together later without even a proper conversation. Just because Aang liked her doesn't mean she has to return those feelings.
@@VeelouCI agree with most of what you’re saying, that they should have had a conversation in between this and the finale where aang apologizes and yes, she does not owe him reciprocation but to say she does not feel the same idk, they have been hinting at katara’s feelings shifting from platonic to romantic since the fortune teller. I always took it as her saying she was confused about when and how to address her romantic feelings for him not that she didn’t have any.
@@VeelouC Bruh her not liking him makes literally no sense. Full stop. If Katara was half as touchy feely with someone that wasn’t Aang, we would all recognize that she had feelings for that someone. You not liking or refusing to see their romance is a *you* problem. She was the very first one to ask if they could kiss (looking super flustered while doing it) saying it wasn’t because Katara liked him is like saying Aang never liked her simply because he didn’t also ask if they could kiss at any point. Makes zero sense 😂
Also this was considered filler for being silly but it’s really good recap of everything before finale which I thought was genius how they went about it
Hey Meesh and Dee "Happy Saturday". I hope you two day are going well. This was a great episode as well a funny one. I like that we got a play on Team Avatar from the Firenation perspective even tho it propaganda.
I remember laughing so hard with Katara actress always crying, Aang actor is a woman, Toph actor is a man even tho she loved it. As well the Zuko and Iroh actors. The Katara and Zuko romance in the play was hilarious. You can tell the writers must had been paying attention to fans when it pertains to Zutara.
I love the Toph and Zuko chat. Which I thought was an awesome moment. As well the kid telling Zuko his scar is on the wrong side. But anyway I hope you two have a wonderful day. Stay safe, take care and stay amazing.

Happy Saturday Rob!!
We laughed way too hard in this episode!! Perfect recap to the epic finale
The Zutara scenes are definitely hilarious and cringy but in a good way We still rooting for our boy Aang! Have a great weekend. Thank you for your support. 💙💙
@MeeshDeeReacts You're welcome and anytime. Yes, this was a great episode to show that the end is coming. This recap from the Firenation perspective is enough to prepare for the next final four episodes. I do hope they have the Firenation play in the live action. I hope you have a great weekend, too. As well I hope the rest of your day is enjoyable 😁
OMG YOURE GONNA CRY EVEN MORE SOON
Been loving your ATLA and HP series reactions. I'm excited for Korra too. Trolls hate on that show too much like seriously just let people watch it and make their own mind up about it. I've been watching another reaction channel that's halfway through the show now and so far they've loved it so you never know so people should try not to discourage people from watching it. I in fact really loved it and have a lot of sympathy for the crew who kept getting yanked around constantly by Nickelodeon, I find it amazing that the show overcame all those ridiculous obstacles like I'm starting to think Nickelodeon was trying to sabotage them. I mean not even airing season 4 on tv at all only posting on the web to view is pretty messed up, huge budget cuts and cutting the show to nearly half the episodes of ATLA.. I could go on and on.
Thanks so much for watching with us! Meesh has already watched LOK but it’s been a long time for her (since it first aired). And I haven’t seen it yet, so I’m excited to watch it for the first time with y’all. I’m absolutely going into it open-minded without trying to draw any comparisons with the OG ATLA series 😁🙏🏽
-D
Es lo que piensan los fan en la encrucijada del destino que debe quedar se con Zuko el zutara 😂😂😂
The early reviews are out for the avatar show and they say that it's better than the live action movie but worse than the cartoon. That's very confusing since anything is better than that movie. It makes me very sceptical.
Yeah everything is better than the movie and anything is worse than the cartoon. It doesn't mean much either way.
Hot take: Toph and Zuko could work; later, of course.
Aang being played by a woman is at least reference to Peter Pan bring played by women on stage, most famously by Sandy Duncan in the 80s.
yall will reach 5k subs by the end of this book🙏🏿
Thank you for your support!! 🔥✨
@@MeeshDeeReacts you’re welcome and damn y’all alr passed it😂😂
Love you girls
Thank you for always supporting us 😫❤️
@MeeshDeeReacts No problem ya'll both amazing
This was the most creative and amazing way to recap the series before the finale. The writing on this show was 20/10.
I also love how they go “Meh, let’s keep flying” with the great divide interpretation. 😂😂They knew the fans weren’t collectively feeling that episode.
The joke is that the movie is based off of this play cuz it was so bad lol
Es una parodia 😎😎😎😂😂😂es proponganda militar 🎖️ creen los héroes son la nación del fuego 🔥 por compartir su grandeza y los malos los maestros agua 💧 y los maestros tierra 🌍 por oponerse
Topf sería hombre por los creadores su imagen sería el de la intro pero lo cambiaron 😎😎😎 fue mejor también no dirían que fueron derrotados por una niñita
we need sum trailer reaction videos for The boys and Invincible ngl
Zuko es el personaje con más desarrollo complicado tiene virtudes y defectos 😎😎😎 tiene que enfrentar los errores del pasado como todos
There are many canon reasons for why Katara is confused and why she rejects Aang in that episode, but the noncanon reasons make a bit more sense. With that, I mean reasons which are not a part of the show, but of the show creators.
They absolutely knew of that whole shipping war, and while most authors on Avatar supported Zutara, the creators of Avatar had always envisioned Aang and Katara together.
And the reason for the Kataang drama, the slight Zutara moments in this episode is just the reaction to that shipping war and trying to use it to keep people interested in the story for even more reasons: Who will Katara end up with? Will Aang get the girl? Does Katara like him that way?
Katara's feelings for Aang are never explicitly shown, they're alluded to, yes, but Aang speaks freely of his feelings for Katara, and we've known about his feelings for a while now.
Katara's feelings are left so ambiguous to create more mystery to the "Will they? / Won't they?" - situation.
So, I bet the creators and authors showed Zutara as a possibility for everyone who hadn't already noticed that and created drama between Aang and Katara for drama purposes. So, people could be like: "No way, she is going to end up with Zuko??? But Aang !!!!" This kept people more invested, although I cannot believe that anyone would watch the show until the Ember Island Players and then not watch the finale🤷🏽♀️
The finale is not only about the winner ship, so the show didn't really need that drama in this moment. It's nice for Zutara shippers to get acknowledged by the show (even if the way they did that is disrespectful ngl), but I for one, could have done without the Kataang drama. Just have them be their normal selves. Idk, it feels fabricated to me, and Aang is uncharacteristically aggressive and whiny, which is just... No. I know he's twelve, but character development would have been Aang understanding Katara and apologising for pressuring her. And I think that even fits his character better. A pacifist monk who is wise beyond his age. So, Idk, just don't like the way Aang is written in this episode.
Yes, he's 12, but I'm a bit less "Aww" in those moments, and more like "You're 12. You can wait longer until you get a girlfriend. World saving first."
One might say that Aang is stressed because of the comet approaching, but that doesn't make sense for
reasons that would spoiler you.
But apart from all that, I really love this episode, Sokka being Sokka, and the moment Toph and Zuko share. Aang and Katara all got their episode with Zuko and Sokka and Suki even got two, but Toph has this one really nice moment. And it's not about Zuko helping her with family stuff or other trauma, but it's about him feeling better about how far he's come, and that smile of his when she talks about Iroh!!!!!! 😍
I loved your reactions to the play!!! The Ember Island Players is a fans' favourite episode, and getting all this extra info on the actors and voice actors of the actors from this comments section is amazing😍😍
And before the big finale, I wanted to say thank you for your reactions and the time that you put into this. You two seem so nice and authentic, and I just love reactions like yours😍
Nah Aang’s completely in character for doing this: under extreme stress to defeat the Fire Lord because everyone counts on him, the play insults his character, pisses on his culture, mocks his existence, downplays the affection Katara has for him.
Plus Aang didn’t even go talk to Katara about it, he got pissed and stormed off because he knew his emotions were out of control and Katara following him only fueled the fire. Both him and Katara could have handled it better to be honest. There are also a lot of things that happen off camera so the many apologies we never hear are useless for character development in my opinion. Plus Aang shows he knew he’d done wrong by kissing her because he immediately calls himself an idiot (while Zuko for example continued to be an asshole after getting jealous at Mai in The Beach episode).
They would have probably done it differently if fans didn’t get in the way but whatever, it still tells young people that even if they like someone and they are certain that that someone likes them back, they must still follow their boundaries in the end…
