"I want our baby's name to mean something..." "Appa." i'm sorry that fucking killed me

[@RedKincaid]

A friend of mine said the exact same thing the first time he saw that scene, made me laugh so hard to see him do the same thing

[@Ts-lz1gj]

Remember what the swamp guy said everyone and everything is connected. That’s the same pregnant couple zuko almost robbed in the episode when he was alone. The woman was sick up against a tree and the husband was feeding her food. They’re also drawn the exact same way. And zuko and iroh ran into jet who all three have met team avatar. Also we ran into the cabbage guy a again. Remember what the swamp guy said everyone and everything is connected.

[@itsturniptime3699]

Fun Fact, if you slow down and rewatch the scene where Cabbage Man’s cabbage cart gets destroyed there are actually a few slugs that fly out meaning if he sold those cabbages in Ba Sing Se he could have disrupted the natural order and introduced an invasive species

I love how Toph is low-key Momo's favourite human, when he got scared of the serpent, Toph was the one he went to.

[@flyingchong]

Toph really pulled a "my emotional support animal" at an airport moment lololz.

[@fredrice8650]

Actually they all hide behind Toph at various moments because she doesn't scare easily. There are a lot of funny moments when everyone is freaking out and Toph is just standing there stone-faced (pun realized, but not intended.)

[@joegoodman8213]

I was gonna say, that's not just Momo. Toph is the best defensive player on the team. She had everybody covered that episode, even when under the water. If you're going to hide behind somebody, Toph is your best bet for survival. I might argue for Aang in his avatar state, but he might be just as dangerous.

[@BlackMercura]

Props to Katara for staying so strong in the desert while being dehydrated (notice how she doesn't drink any of the water, and is willing to give up her only means of defence so her friends can drink) and exhausted herself, and gets no on-screen thanks for it. Here she's still immensely supportive of Aang, and freakin MIDWIFES for goodness sake. Someone give Katara a big hug.

The Boulder is not the one chasing toph. It's Xin Fu and the teacher

[@dragonsvideos6737]

“The boulder agrees with your statement and admits that he isn’t after The Blind Bandit right now. The Boulder travels with the Hippo instead.”-the Boulder

[@SpacialRend7]

One of the most interesting shots in this episode is when Sokka and Suki are about to kiss and we see the moon, aka Yue in the background and then Sokka pulls back, indicating that he still had feelings for her. Took me a while to piece that moment together.

[@painvillegaming4119]

Man really has feelings for the F moon

[@erikperhs_]

Really? It's pretty obvious lol

[@SpacialRend7]

@@erikperhs_ To some, they pick up on it quickly. Doesn’t always work that way to others though.

[@kunilsen2519]

I saw it more as guilt for moving on.

[@lightningg252]

So for the whole bridge thing, the Fire Nation knows they are there, so they have to stay out of sight as much as possible, hence why Katara did water bubble trick first, to stay hidden and to make it easier to travel with a pregnant woman. They didn't count on Rayquaza showing up🤷‍♀️

[@dragonsvideos6737]

It sensed kyogre and groudon about to clash

[@njivwathomassilavwe2056]

The couple in this episode are the people Zuko decided not to rob

[@BrandonFrame-m5k]

I think i remember he already robbed before as the blue spirit

[@Timmythy123]

Zuko's got a future in hospitality huh?

[@Flash33c]

If you look closely at the cabbage cart you can see there were indeed Cabbage Slugs hidden in them (hard to spot since they blend in with the cabbages), so the destruction was warranted. Also as someone else said Suki was originally planned to appear only in The Warriors of Kiyoshi but fan popularity brought her back in this episode.

[@A.M_slime]

There's a reason Airbenders chose a nomadic and peaceful way of life and their bending style is very evasive and non aggressive. They understood exactly the kind of power they had.....that said, Aang probably did some un-Airbenderlike things to those sandbenders off srceen😂

[@IamnotJohnFord]

Aang could do to anyone what he did to that buzzard-wasp if he so desired. It would be an invisible instant-kill from half a mile away. The Avatar world is lucky Air-benders are gentle monks.

[@MitchisaTurtle]

0:39 just in case someone didn’t tell them already, most episodes are a week in difference in the ATLA world so it’s been a week since losing Appa

[@rpgrage7711]

Serpents path is a really good episode idk why but it always stuck out to me and stayed in my head

[@TuskyBaby]

Its a beautiful episode! Sokka and Suki reunite, Aang gets some of his warmth back after having been so cold ever since Appa got taken, Toph and Katara have a bunch of great moments. Its very "feel good" while still progressing many of the character arcs.

[@beazrich2.017]

The Serpent’s Pass in my opinion is interesting enough as itself in its geography. It appears that the fictional Serpent’s Pass is basically if you have Little Sark in the Channel Islands and put that in with the largest lake in the real world aka Caspian Sea, you essentially have a real life Serpent’s Pass. The Slither of land is similar to the Little Sark as I said earlier. And given that Sokka refers to the Serpent itself as a “Sea Serpent”, that means the West and East Lakes are actually inland seas and not fresh water lakes. Lake’s aren’t exclusively fresh water surprisingly, they can be inland seas like the Caspian sea, or Black sea. So the West lake is like the Black Sea and the East lake is like the Caspian sea.

[@DaddyTonraq]

confession: whenever they say their names in the intro and H-man isn't there i say "and im h-man" and now i cant stop. even when i keep shut in my head i say it

[@astroboy91210]

6:37 everytime I watch this scene, all I can think about playing in the background is "Talking to the Moon" by Bruno Mars while sokka is staring at Yue

[@Bondrewd__21]

4:46 yeah and he also now know that Serpent’s pass is kind of deadly dangerous so he doesn’t wanna see that someone about he care die on his hands *again*

[@beazrich2.017]

Fun Fact these fictional geographic locations are based off of real life locations. Serpent’s Pass: If you essentially reimagine Little Sark in the Channel Islands, and put that into the largest lake in the world which is the Caspian Sea, you get a great discription of this fictional location. Taihue Mountains: The Himalaya mountains. Fire Nation islands: Iceland. Northpole: Greenland. Southpole: Antarctica. Ba Sing Se: Great Wall of China. The Desert: You could argue that its based off the Sahara desert or Gobi Desert.

[@setantastooddead]

6:20 - Just realized Zuko and the Ice Fruit Drink Guy from the Si Wong Desert could team up and start a KILLER hibachi restaurant together, holy shit

[@luciuseclipse]

I think they went with going under the water instead of ice at first, because Ice is a little dangerous for a pregnant lady.

[@IamnotJohnFord]

Well, I think it was because they were trying to sneak across without getting more attention from the Fire Nation. Going under the water would've worked out except for a giant killer seahorse-dragon. Yeah, I made up a name for it.

[@jaredtheastralartist2510]

They were still trying to sneak into Ba Sing Se. Going under the water was a safe way to do that. If they created a bridge it might have attractive attention, and that bridge would've been a pretty poor defense location. They could not have anticipated a giant sea serpent.
