[@angelux2793]

For real! That's like if we went around today using slang and phrases unironically from the 1920s lol

[@baticony9333]

Funny thing, its not even real slang, its just things and phrases Gyatso invented to bother Roku when they were young and he just told aang they were a real thing Lol

[@MrMeddyman]

Aang brought up Kuzon before, during the Blue Spirit episodes afer it was revealed to be Zuko and he asked if they could be friends if things were different. Kuzon was Aang's old Fire Nation pal like Bumi.

[@MrGBH]

I love that Hakoda doesn't justify why he left. Katara already knows all that. To argue would just feel like he was dismissing her feelings. Instead he apologises and admits how much he hurt from his decision too. A massive difference to how Ozai treats Zuko. Ozai doesn't even pretend to care about Zuko's feelings, praising him only for his actions.

[@bluehope42]

Ozai's pride is conditional. The complete opposite of Hakoda.

[@AustinSamson1999]

I’d say this is also mirrored with how Ozai treats Azula too. If she’s not PERFECT in everything she does and doesn’t perform to daddy’s satisfaction she instantly gets the cold shoulder and is treated dismissively too. She’s literally FORCED to be a child soldier with no sense of self just to appease him. Ozais kids are only worth something as long as HE directly benefits from their existence and actions where as Hokada is just happy to see BOTH his kids thriving. Katara is struggling emotionally yes 100% but considering who she’s was when he LAST saw her comapred to the water bending master he encounters this episode it’s clear she’s grown and changed and while he sorry for the pain he caused her he can acknowledge the beautiful INDIVIDUAL she’s become. There IS no individuality with Ozai. Their either an extension of his will, or they’re an obstacle. The parallels in this show are PEAK😤👏

[@sadiedol4413]

Agreed. I remember crying when I first saw the scene with Hakoda and Katara. My dad is military and as a kid I harbored a lot of anger (that I didn't understand) bc he had to leave so often. That scene put a lot of my feelings into perspective and I've always been greatful for it

[@dcharith]

SPOILER ALERT for those who haven't seen Netflix Avatar and completed this series. . . . In the Netflix show they just butchered Hakoda's character and made him disappointed in Sokka. I was so pissed about that.

[@PaulMenden5659]

About breaking up the episodes into videos: I suggest you start with 2 episodes per video as you have been, then do episodes 9, 10, 11 in one video (10 and 11 are a two-parter, probably combined on Netflix anyways, and you need to switch the cadence because the book has 1 more episode than book 1 and 2). Then continue with 2 episodes per video, there is another two-parter coming (episodes 14, 15), but that matches the cadence then. And then do one big episode for the finale, the last four episodes; please do NOT split up the finale. It's basically meant to be enjoyed as a feature length movie and also paced that way.

[@3Kings_Industries]

The series finale Can be broken into two equal parts.

[@PaulMenden5659]

@@3Kings_Industries I really wouldn't recommend it though.

[@M7S4I5L8V2A]

[@raienbrasa]

@@M7S4I5L8V2A Yes. It should all be viewed at once for the best effect.

[@Darth_Kael]

From a viewer perspective I agree but from a KZbin reaction viewer I would prefer the split as it would allow for more time to cover all the great scenes under fair use. They could still watch it in one go....just split up the video...they can even release them back to back.

[@PaulMenden5659]

Azulas lightning also caused an exit wound on the bottom of Aang's foot. It actually has great continuity and you can see it sometimes in the following episodes

[@t.c.thompson2359]

Azula is clever, she is Psychogal too, but her father calling her a prodigy is one of the few times he isn't talking out his ass.

[@Painless-]

Yeah imagine if she was the avatar. The show would have ended in book 1.

[@august7535]

You guys have to understand, at the end of the day, Zuko is just a kid. A kid who has been through more trauma and pain than any person should ever have to suffer in their life. He so desperately wanted the love of his father back, it's what has driven him all these years. His character is a metaphor for addiction. Even when someone works to better themselves and overcome their problems, sometimes when the opportunity presents itself, addicts will relapse. It wasn't realistic for Zuko to move past all his struggles in the way the season 2 finale portrayed. He may yet get a redemption arc and overcome his internal conflict of self, but none of this has ever been his fault. Not really.

[@fluffycrumpetbaby]

Its totally fair for you guys to hate the Mai and Zuko dynamic, especially because of the sour taste still left in the mouth from the betrayal... BUT... I hope you find the humour in it going forwards as well as see that theres actual care there. I always thought the broody emo couple dynamic was hilarious from the get go, very of-the-time and also somehow timeless. The deadpan blunt comments from Mai but the subtle way they still convey how much she does care. I think the show did a really good job in these episodes!! Good example would be when Azula interupts them, you glossed over it, but Mai gives Azula a 'side eye' she gives AZULA a side eye... That's brave, and shows that Mai is pissed off so much about being interrupted spending time with Zuko that she would actually show annoyance at Azula, someone everyone fears. Good character writing and subtle story telling. 😊

[@sue01234567890]

LOL NOT HIM MAD THAT A 12 YEAR OLD IS NOT NATURALLY BALD

[@xiaofuls]

the finale is a four-parter so i'd recommend grouping episodes 9-11 (10 and 11 are two parts) so you can end in pairs per usual or end the finale in one go cause it's meant to be a feature length movie

[@chrisjacobsen7265]

Either that or make 9 a one episode. Both work

[@BestAnimeFreak]

Afaik the last episode on Netflix, is all four parts together, meaning there is a 1 1/2 hour episode ... But I can't confirm that, as I can't access US Netflix ... The same probably applies to episode 10 and 11 being combined in one episode which is then ~40 min. long.

[@xiaofuls]

@@BestAnimeFreak oh thanks i didnt know that they merged the parted episodes in netflix

[@whatername528]

I think it’s worth noting that in the long wait between seasons 2 and 3 they released 3 comics, which detailed some of the plot points that get quickly skimmed over in the first episode. Namely the Earth King deciding to go roam the world with Bosco, Zuko and Mai getting together, and how Team Avatar ended up capturing a Fire Nation ship. There was also an online video game with cut scenes (included on the DVDs as an extra) which detail Aang in his coma in the Spirit World, trying to reconnected with his most recent past lives, going back to the last time an airbender was the Avatar, in order to heal his Avatar spirit. It contains some nice backstory for some of the previous Avatars as well as a bit of resolution on leaving earthly attachments in order to control the Avatar state.

[@thesunisup_]

[@MrKingYuji]

How so?

[@AustinSamson1999]

@@MrKingYujipretty sure if I remember correctly they discussed this on the podcast “braving the elements” when the book 3 breakdowns started and they more or less said “we built up all this hype and aura around the dude just for it to be some pretty guy sitting in a chair and just being… more or less normal.” Pretty much they felt it was super anticlimactic and they thought it would hold more narrative weight and be MUCH more impactful in execution then it ended up being.

[@panfanwithaplan]

​@@AustinSamson1999 It's surprising they think that way, I actually thought the reveal of Ozai's face was very impactful. It's easy to make villainous characters look scary or creepy (something the show loves to do), the fact that Ozai looks like a completely normal handsome dude is both unexpected and off-putting. This man permanently scarred his son and turned his daughter into a child soldier, and he looks like he attends PTA meetings.

2:02 Tales of Ba Sing Se: *shows Aang shaving his head* Every reactor during The Awakening: AANG SHAVES HIS HEAD?!

[@roskoeec]

Having watched this series so many times sometimes I forget what it was like the first time. I’ve come to know the story beats, character arcs, creator notes and fan dissections so deeply that when people feel the same things I felt on my first viewing I get frustrated with them for the way they talk about characters I feel differently about having seen them in the light of all I now know. Now that you’ve helped me remember what it felt like to endure Zuko’s backslide (no matter how realistic it is for an abused 16 year to fall in the way and for the reasons he did) for instance, I’ve realized I kinda just need to let it go and be cool with people feeling how they feel about this show and its characters with wherever they are at in the story. Thanks for the reminder to not be a dick!

[@Halfrican-American]

When Zuko visited Iroh in prison, the creators visualized their mental states. Each shot of Zuko's face made it look like he was the one trapped behind bars while Iroh appeared to be free.

[@JNDReacts]

0:44 I’d say he does a pretty good job, considering almost nobody notices his few lines of dialogue in Tales of Ba Sing Se. That was the last episode recorded for Book 2 (iirc it was originally supposed to be a flashback episode about Iroh trying to conquer Ba Sing Se, but Mako wasn’t able to do it, so they came up with the mini episodes) and Mako couldn’t finish recording. During Iroh’s tale, Greg Baldwin speaks to the boys who break the window. “It is usually best to admit mistakes when they occur, and to seek to restore honor…But not this time. Run!”

[@jesseross2641]

The dancing just highlighted to me how far the Fire Nation fell as a society that dancing was frowned upon. Of the four elements, fire is what I would associate dancing with given the passion of their nation.

Gotta remember Aang's knowledge is 100 years old, it's like someone from the 1920s showing up and trying to blend in with their slang lol.

[@lunasongbird9586]

you guys watched him shave his head in the tales of ba sing se episode

[@Dreveryn]

One suggestion to pay attention to in the upcoming episodes. One of my favorite things this show does; when Zuko visits Iroh in prison, watch the lighting and the framing of the camera. It leans towards Zuko being behind bars, and Iroh is the one that's free. It becomes much more apparent as time goes on.

[@svncerity]

The finale is split into four episodes if that changes how you film them

[@KaylaHigbeeVO]

I love how Aang hasn't been around firenation folk for 100 years... so his "hotman" and "stay flamin/flameo" slang would be the equivalent of someone talking in 1920s slang today 😅

[@Jacana2k6]

Such a good start to the season. Also a good example that not everyone in the Fire Nation are a-holes. Just over the past 100 years they have been deceived by the current rulers. Fun reaction as always.

[@embran8486]

Me thinks Cody forgot in the episode The Storm former firelord Azulon was also sitting surrounded by fire. It´s just adding to intimidating aura. Minus the big flames but maybe with candles Asian rulers also in similar seated position awaiting their subjects.

Yeah with the way Ozai is talked about you expect him to be ugly or some monstrous sort of guy, but he shows his face and he's just...a good looking dude, evil but good looking, you can sorta see Azula and Zuko's facial features on him. Every time we have seen him is from Zuko's POV so his face was always shrouded.

I think Azula always lies in Zuko's coping. I think Azula lying would require her to care enough to lie to most people. Unless she's enacting some plan she doesn't fully lie outright. I think part of her does care for Zuko. Harsh as she may be, they're still siblings raised with the same high standards. Reacted to them differently. It's also pretty funny to think about in all reactions people think this 12 year old boy isn't bald by choice. It's one of those you don't question it til yourealize scenarios.

[@baileyross8279]

The finale is 4 episodes, it's best to do they all together, but you split them into two videos if you have to. 10 and 11 are a two part, so is 14 and 15. But I think Netflix does that for you.

[@MrDeaconDemolition]

funny you bring up how to break up the episodes, because I would suggest doing the last FOUR all at once, at the finale is a four part-er, and i would use episode 17 as the single, which is the episode just before finale. I re-watch the series every few years, and that's how I always split the end. When you get to the last four you won't be able to stop, so it's just recommended you builder through. Can't wait for you to watch the Netflix Live-action (season 2 coming probably late next year) and also the extension series Korra. Don't trust the naysayers, the show still holds up today imo.
