Avatar: Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story

[@AlexandrinaTitania]

"in their eyes I see you alexander" literally hits me right in the heart because katara does see aang in their grandchildren's eyes... hALP

[@myfavoritejacket404]

the part where they sing about aang wanting more time hits me because that's also what he wanted

[@AlexandrinaTitania]

Angel Perez *cries in the corner* same man

[@TheKnifekillerofmw2]

+Angel Perez what's even worse is that if I remember correctly avatars lives to be quite old at least a century but aang died extremely young (66?) because of his extended use of the avatar state in the iceberg so he should have had so much more time.

[@AlexandrinaTitania]

Lord Death and you just HAD to make me cry thank

[@radioactivesoda5616]

[@evilstar2000]

Fun Fact! Aang had the shortest lifespan out of all Avatars, dying at 66. All other avatars lived to the ages of up to a hundred! His young death is thought to be attributed to his extended stay in an iceberg affecting his health.

[@xionyo6324]

melonsarepeopletoo or he is 166 years old

[@tamassarannn]

melonsarepeopletoo didn't avatar Kyoshi live till 200 and she ended up being the oldest avatar

[@SEGASister]

melonsarepeopletoo I think the only other Avatar not to live to 100 is his immediate predecessor, Roku (lived to his 80s, I believe).

[@kira7260]

Zyxms Kiyoshi died at age of 230

[@maddhatter222]

Actually Kuruk had the shortest lifespan, he was only 33 at the time of his death.

[@adrianantonio9899]

Who in the name gave you the right to break my heart with Hamilton and crush it to dust with Avatar the Last Air Bender

[@ijbol-idgaf]

me too

[@-somatryoshka]

Agreed

[@manoramashukla8168]

Yup

[@dasiamay2324]

why does aang's death feel so personal to me wtf

[@21chemicalatthedisco93]

Because ATLA was childhood for many of us

[@21chemicalatthedisco93]

It's like having an old childhood friend die before your very eyes

[@eduardocunhadecarvalho4778]

Yeah, Korra was more adolescence/adulthood for me. So i didn't get attached nor followed it properly

[@syrusangi8743]

[@u_g0t_pl41d-g5b]

Uhhhh kind off

[@haileymefford256]

I can't. The "In their eyes I see you, Alexander" makes me cry. Because it's true. Katara sees Aang through her children and grandchildren. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH He needed more time

[@emimiwimi]

why do you make me cry like this ahhhhh

[@spntageous5249]

ALso in Korra

[@christianhudson1798]

Also in Korra. Especially in the first episode of season one

[@notgalvatron1698]

All of that time was spent keeping him and Appa alive in the ice sadly.

[@billcipher147]

I was just watching some old Avatar videos, but then, everything changed when the onion nation attacked.

[@avvvvvvvm]

Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when Onion Nation attacked and made us all cry.

[@avvvvvvvm]

And the tear nation supports them

[@squallrinoa7982]

Onion and Tears Nation 😂🤣😂😂😂🤣😂🤣

[@sleepisfortheweak8494]

AS IF THIS SONG WASN'T HEARTBREAKING ENOUGH YOU MONSTER

[@eligirl100]

They really messed up in Legend of Korra. She lost the connection to all the other Avatars, meaning the next Avatars are only gonna have Korra to depend on. No more Aang, Roku, Kioshi 😭😭😭

[@genner-vincenthodgson5177]

eligirl100 but she'll have the memories of what she knew of Aang with the help of Katara and those who knew him at least. And you never know what she'll accomplish during her lifespan! 😊

[@scrubalishes7537]

Meagan Hodgson what memories she barley talked to any of them aha

[@genner-vincenthodgson5177]

Scrubalishes well, she didn't talk with Aang much, but she lived in the same Water Tribe with Katara who I'm sure told her many of their adventures together. That's what I meant by memories. Not necessarily direct memories of her interactions with Aang but rather memories of what she's heard about him.

[@scrubalishes7537]

Meagan Hodgson oh i see your point ok

[@edithgarcia3002]

I thought that when she lost the connection to the other Avatars she also lost the ability to be the Avatar. That's why she went into the spirit world. You can't bend in the spirit world so it wouldn't have mattered if she lost all her bending or only kept water bending.

[@naomistier-wood9677]

Lowkey the casting.. Omg. Katara as Eliza, Aang as Hamilton, Toph as anGELICA, Sokka as Washington, Lordy right in the feels. And Hamilton is my newest obsession, which means I've been listening to it Non-Stop (heh) as well as I just finished rewatching Avatar so I'm particularly raw rn

[@SEGASister]

Naomi Stier-Wood So would that make Zuko Aaron Burr?

[@naomistier-wood9677]

omg yeah but like,, in reverse??

[@monkeymouse]

And matching Katara/Toph as Eliza/Angelica; I imagine they WERE sisters in a lot of respects--the sisters they never had.

[@2cool2btrue41]

Hmm Angelica as Toph. Personality wise there are similarities. imagine Toph singing congratulations

[@2cool2btrue41]

Kayla C yeah imagine, Toph aggressively earth bending all through the song. Now I need this. I really need this. Somebody has to make a video of this

[@TheAmityElf]

OW. I mean...Ow. I did not expect that level of pain.

[@rainbowprince1138]

SAME THO,I WASN'T READY

I'm sry bro!

[@xionyo6324]

JerkyChid well, katara, think so :)

[@maysoona5182]

JerkyChid I DID IM CONFESSING TO DOING IT

[@mamasitas3566]

JerkyChid the water benders blame them

[@kiapet286]

I kept it together until "In their eyes I see you, Alexander". Because, augh, she so very much does! My poor heart...

[@fr4225]

Kiapet 2 ikr, i was managing to hold it together and then BOOM. i turned into a waterfall.

[@Reaverbro]

Oh that's okay, I don't need a fucking heart

[@owellafehr5191]

Oh man, I don't even *know* Avatar all that well, but this just hits me right in the heart. Fantastic job!!!

[@dans3593]

Go watch it right now! It's great!

[@Gabebigdog]

the maker of this video definitely didn't throw away their shot.

[@KatieT97]

As if I couldn't cry hard enough at "the orphanage.... In their eyes I see you Alexander" just by the original version, I almost had an emotional breakdown when the clip of Tenzin's children then switched to Aang.

[@myriartz]

ok, first of all HOW DARE?! second, the entire world needs to see this omg. this is beautiful.

[@TheHayngurl808]

SOKKA AS WASHINGTON AND THE "SHE TELLS MY STORY" WITH THAT CLIP OH MY HOD END ME I LOVE KATARA AND SOKKA WITH MY ENTIRE BEING

[@iamtenzin4409]

OK - Now you've done it. You just proven once and for all that those Chinese characters at the end of both ATLA and TLOK mean only one thing.... "It's OK to cry now" Well done.

[@bookfan1239]

Hamilton, my newest obsession combined with my life-long love for Avatar, COMBINED WITH THIS SONG. Why do I torture myself like this? I literally cried harder with this video than I did the first time I heard this song! I really didn't know that was possible until now.

[@phoenixkh93]

Whoahhh you got the characters just perfect I think :) I must admit I teared up a little bit. Especially where she was saying to Korra 'I can't wait to see you again' like it must have been so difficult for Katara seeing Korra and knowing her husband was there but she couldn't speak to him

[@maysoona5182]

Ursa it struck me right in my heart...THE FEELS ARE TOO MUCH

[@derrick.s]

God damn. Right in the nostalgia. But so many chills at "Eliza" and "The orphanage" Geez I cried more at this than the song by itself. And the strings in this song even go along with the Avatar style of music. Imagine if Avatar was more tragic than it already is- if Aang died defeating the firelord. Katara, left with really unsettled feelings for Aang would be left to tell the story of the Avatar 😭 So tragic ughhh

[@maysoona5182]

Derrick S I thought I cried a lot when Aang died but I was wrong especially at 2:12

[@oliverschoneck7750]

you know what i want that. i want an avatar tragedy. some one fights to do the right thing and defeats the big bad and their friends and loved ones are left to pick up the pieces.

[@kristin3503]

I'm not crying. That's just you.

[@jjkkyukie]

I used to be obsessed with avatar, but I never watched the series in order. so I only know and remember bits and pieces.

[@xionyo6324]

The Blocky Cats remember: if you watch atla and after that lok youre heart will broken

[@Ataahua00]

Cries. Cries forever. Will never stop crying.

[@sinclairzz]

I HAVENT EVEN WATCHED THIS SHOW AND IM CRYING I CANNOT B E L IE VE

[@riakun]

DO IT! (SO good!) Then afterwards come back and watch this again. Then feel your heart be ground into dust...

[@moodlemcdoodle5746]

This has inspired me to try animating Non-Stop with Avatar characters, thank you ^^ (And thanks for making me cry ;-;)

[@EntertainmentExpertz]

Can I just say that the image of aang's grandchildren then him crying as a young man is a powerful visual. I nearly teared up

[@shadowrosepaiton_7205]

this is probably one of the most beautiful videos I've ever seen. Two life changing, ground breaking, legendary things excellently fused together into one video that almost made me cry. I had chills the whole time!

[@THahhhh]

"You really do write that you're running out of time" Aang smiles at his painfully tragic and inevitable death

[@bellamu3428]

MY EYES ARE WATERING BENDING

[@bryannkam]

You mean tearbend, and yes i'm tearbending too.

[@bluebiscuit6645]

Katara spoke out against blood bending

[@biaxolotl5171]

:)

[@lizabeththeguardian4079]

Does anyone else remember the episode aang turned into avatar Kyoshi (don't know if I spelled that right) during a trial and she was able to act like she was alive again. I think Korra should of done that so Katara and the others can talk one last time

[@icecreamguru7584]

Lizabeth The Guardian that episode is called Avatar Day and it’s early season 2, maybe episode 3. i’m a nerd

[@randomblueguy]

@Ice cream Guru Season 2 Episode 5 I’m more nerd than you. I rewatched the series 5 times lol.

[@icecreamguru7584]

RodTricksFTW do you watch hello future me??

[@randomblueguy]

@Ice cream Guru kinda, not all of his videos but I do sometimes.

[@acetrainergamerreview2477]

Thats impossible because Kora got the past Avatar lives destroyed when she battled Vatu. If you read the comics you could see that when Aang got separated from Avatar Roku ( the avatar before Aang) he couldn’t contact him even with the Avatar fire nation beads and accessories.

[@ethan9167]

This will never not make me cry

[@weesalikesmilktea4829]

They replaced Angelica with Toph. They replaced Angelica... With TOPH... *A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN*

You just shattered my soul, this was beautiful thank you

I mean I was already crying but this whole another level of pain, now.

[@danielahelfer9933]

I knew this was gonna be sad as soon as I saw Sokka as Washington, but then they said Eliiiiiiiza and I JUST CAN'T

This was on my recommendation list and I clicked it now I can't stop playing it

[@ijalaerodriguez6333]

the person who made this is evil they combined my 2 favorite things and made me cry

[@majeranek_]

......i almost believed in Aang's death. and i must add that i haven't watched korra so I'm still at the point, when Aang lives, Katara's young and they're all happy after deafeating the Fire Lord :') [i didn't know that Aang is dead untill i read the comments....thanks]

She still has a long way to go before crossing the Rainbow Bridge. The fortune teller DID say she'd pass on when her third great-grandchild was born, after all.

[@frank7411]

Oh god, this made me cry...

[@sn3k131]

Had no idea how attached I was until I realized that this show seemed to belong to me when I was younger. Everything I wanted was there, it was the word I had lived in in my dreams. And these characters were there beside me, no matter what. The lessons they taught me, the adventures we seemed to share. I cry now because I know that this was never a world I lived in, and as for the show, with Korra and the former characters now, that world is gone. Thanks for a happy ending. Sincerely, A Non-Bender

[@fr4225]

*manages to stay emotionless* "In their eyes I see you Alexander-" *turns into a living waterfall*

[@Kingdom_Universe]

This was very well put together!

[@thedanceoftuila6999]

Avatar and Hamilton is the most perfect combo! Wonderful, just wonderful!

[@Claudanne2]

Aang is the youngest of the original team avatar group, and yet the only one who doesn't outlive him is Sokka? That always bothered me. Not only does everyone else outlive him, they live long enough to see his successor become a fully fledged avatar. That's at least 20 years. Statistics, people!

[@supernewf21]

Unfortunately, Aang getting locked in the iceberg for 100 years did an absolute number on his longevity. :(

[@Claudanne2]

@@supernewf21 I understand that, which is why I was fine with Aang being one of the first in the team to die. It's that everyone else lived twice as long that bugged me. Lord Zuko was definitely just fan service.

This is the video that got me into Hamilton. Not their Grammy performance, this. :)
