Avatar: The Last Airbender 2x16 REACTION!! "Appa's Lost Days"

[@raiguard]

The circus portion of this episode won the show an award for Animal Cruelty Awareness. The stuff the circus guy did to appa is very similar to how circus animals are treated in real life.

[@UmarTahir]

Raiguard Really? Wow, that's unbelievable! Just makes me respect Avatar so much more

[@aldair_aa]

Omg it did!! I just looked it up on Wikipedia. The award is called "Genesis Award".

[@issyyourboo2848]

That is amazing. This show just shows the best kind of animal treatment and love. You can just see it in the way they treat Appa and Momo. They are part of the family and that's how it should be with animals in real life too. I hate people who have dogs or cats just to have them. It shouldn't be like that. Animals should be treated with love not just used as props.

[@spongemon1]

FUN FACT: This is the exact circus where Ty Lee used to be in.

What's really hard to watch in this episode, beyond the overall abuse Appa has to take, is his entire loving, trusting personality being torn apart. Up until he gets kidnapped by the Sandbenders, he's fluffy, lovable and welcoming (though he still fights obviously), but you can tell he grows super paranoid during this episode, for obvious reasons. That's what makes it so sad, sadder maybe, in a way, than even Iroh's story. Iroh is a human, he may be sad and mourning, but he's smart enough to understand and move beyond his pain. Appa, on the other hand, is completely innocent and doesn't really understand what's going on, and this episode is all about tearing that innocence to shreds.

[@ryanakers1372]

Wolf6120 That innocence of Appa hit me hardest when Suki was waving the fire to scare him away. I know why she did it, but the pain and confusion in Appa`s eyes always hits the feels.

[@alaasusername]

Rew Rose it’s because he was raised to protect those he loves. He loves the Kyoshi warriors (especially Suki) so he wanted to help them fight off Azula, but Suki wanted him to get out before he was injured or stolen again. So he was extremely confused/hurt basically.

[@omanisat7266]

This episode is why it made sense for Momo's story to be the last one in "Tales of Ba Sing Se." Unbelievably stoked for the next episode.

One of the reasons that Avatar, kid show or not, is so loved. It doesn't hold back, it let's you love these characters and see there highs, and also let's you see just how low and horrible things can go, the world isn't perfect, and in this it's at war.

[@canvas_125]

I remember the first time watching this episode. I couldn't stop crying the whole time. It angered me how everyone was beating Appa. He couldn't catch a break. This episode was the fuel of my wish Appa could be reunited with Aang. Proof that they can't be apart.

[@imcharley]

Right! I just watched it for the first time a week ago and this episode *messed* me UP, especially since Leaves of the Vine was before it and I watched it back to back. Huah.. so much emotional distress lol

[@Diana-zl3ue]

[@Diana-zl3ue]

Loida Perez I was sobbing as a child! Still do

I can understand your rage, Eric... Is so hard to see Appa through all this shit and don't find Aang in the end... Great reaction, guys! Can't wait for the next ones! Happy Holidays!

[@ryanakers1372]

Azula shows up. "Son of a bitch that's the last thing I wanted to see!" Lol, that's partly why she's an amazing villain.

[@groynin]

Years later I'm still sad that we didn't get to see the fight between the Kyoshi's Warrior vs Azula's Team.

[@groynin]

Oh, I just forgot then, it's been a long time since I watched haha But I'm sure they will grow to love them, the girls still have some backstory to go through.

[@dxrebel]

I'm pretty sure Team Azula would easily win. Tai Li took out an entire regiment of strong benders in The Drill and Azula is one of the strongest firebenders. But you are right, it's a shame but it also makes sense since Appa didn't see what happened so neither will we.

[@denickart]

it couldn't have been that easy. They're almost as strong as Tai Li

[@indigodragon0613]

Lol! This was the best reaction yet! Boy do I hate every person who messed with Appa. The creators of Avatar had an important message. That was the circus part. In real life, animal circuses are extremely abusive.

I remember the first time I saw this episode and BAWLING when Suki finds Appa in the cave. This episode was actually given a Humane Society Genesis Award for its depictions of animal abuse at the circus. Such a sad episode :(

[@erzan]

Azula is basically Darth Vader. There was nothing sympathetic about Darth Vader in episode 4 or 5. But you respected his will, skill and badass actions.

[@materialmanners]

erzan except Darth Vaders character has more depth, and a sad twisted past, he wasn't always evil. Azula is more like Emperor Palpatine, he was always evil.

[@Zoidberryable]

Yeah, it seems weird that they seem fine with cheering for Darth Vader and Reverse Flash when they're effective as villains but seem put off/'meh' by Azula's group doing similar things. And, Fake Account, I don't think your comparison really works (Darth Vader didn't have that past or depth in episode New Hope or Empire before the Reveal and did a ton of evil stuff. People still thought he was a badass.)

[@erzan]

Fake Account There was no real backstory on Darth Vader until the Prequels. People like me only know of his tragic downfall on screen because I've grown up watching the prequels first as a kid and then went 'back' (really forward lol) to watching the old films. From just episode 4 and 5 Vader is a dick. He lacks empathy, good morals and just want's to enact the Emperor's plan. Like Azula. Ozai is the Emperor. Obviously I rather not put spoilers on this show, since I've seen it already.

[@Liesmith424]

Writer 1: "Ok, so we need to have Appa get attacked by something dangerous, but that isn't too graphic for Nickelodeon." Writer 2: "How about a boar with quills?

[@naosou921]

I don't understand how anyone can be a fan of Azula. She isn't misunderstood or traumatized. She was a crazy fucked up bitch from the earlier moments we see from her, even whe she was still a kid.

[@sadz42]

Nao Sou it's not a matter of liking her personality or what shes done, but more as "loving to hate her" or her character/development. Yeah, she's always been crazy, but to see her go completely unhinged and crazy Is really interesting

[@lalalalisa41]

Nao Sou I'll tell you why I'm a huge fan. For a princess, she can hold her own in a fight (she's not just a dainty princess), she's a master in the art of psychological warfare, a great tactician, she's actually threatening, and she has some epic one-liners and dialogue. I could go on. She's a villain that you just love to hate and she's an amazing and formidable villain for the protagonists, which only makes the story interesting. For me, she's a badass crazy fucked up bitch and I love it.

[@Ardenithar]

Exactly Nao Sou, that is what I think every time someone says Azula is a good villain. She looked up to her father and she had his respect and her mother did love her, she was simply too stupid and moronic to see it. That doesn't make it a good villain, it just makes her psychotic. I won't go into much more detail as to why since it is a spoiler for later on in the series, but I am glad to see someone that agrees with me.

[@lalalalisa41]

Nao Sou Spoilers :\

[@Taidower]

I often come back to this reaction but that scene at 3:33 is my favorite, Eric's single sigh, Calvin's teary eyes and smile, and Aaron's face after Aang says "I guess this mean we'll always be together." Amazing how the creators made people feel about Aang and Appa at this point of the show. I still to this day cry at that scene.

[@xcept1281]

2:16 Wait I just realized that the umbrella is the same umbrella that the traveller gave to them in the fortune teller episode.

Point of clarification at the end of the first book admiral Zhao said that Iroh had visited the spirit world, which means he is more in touch with the spiritual world and may be able to see more because he went with his physical body into it.

[@malcolmferguson4869]

To be fair, Azula did interrupt the ONE positive thing that happened to Appa in this episode. So, while I do wish they would be more open-minded when it comes to her, in this case, I think their reaction is completely understandable.

[@ellandecampbell6279]

I think the time has past for them to like her more. Nothing else she does or that happens to her in the future is anything to make her more likeable as a character.
