Zuko’s “I understand” paired with the music and visuals never fails to make me emotional. We’ve seen the journey. It’s earned. I legitimately remember this being one of the first times of being truly affected by animation as a kid

[@thomaschristopherwhite9043]

Katara is the most hurt out of all of the group because she's the most trusting one. She trusted Zuko and really believed his changed and Zuko betrayed her. She has every right to distrust Zuzu and I even understand her outright death threat.

[@andrewb1147]

Exactly. The audience need to put themselves in the groups shoes. We are seeing zuko story. They are not.

[@Krisishere]

She's always the first one to trust, and the last one to forgive. It was the same with Jet, and is well in line with her character. This especially makes sense considering last time she trusted him Aang wound up dying for an instance.

[@EjikeJanefrances]

​@@Krisishere like... she trusts, aang gets hurt

[@poggerwhite]

The last time she trusted Zuko, it literally resulted in Aang's death. Her bitterness towards him makes perfect sense

[@liltmarshall8717]

Katara threatening to kill Zuko for aang will always be one of my favorite scenes.

[@t.c.thompson2359]

The original water bender is the Moon, it makes sense why Sokka would think the original firebending was a natural phenomenon

[@mehigananne4962]

Every time I see the dragon episode I cry 😂 no idea why I get so emotional, but it’s one of the most beautiful moments in animated history.

I think it's because it feels earned, after spending so much time carefully getting to know the characters.

one of the very few series where each episodes gets better and better so consistently. And the finale is something spectacular.

[@BowTieSoFlyGaming]

Y’all have been cranking these episodes out and I’m here for it!!! 🎉

[@artistgurl789]

Saying that you’re sorry doesn’t automatically make everything okay. To me, Katara is the best example of that. As unforgiving as she may have been, you have to remember that because of Zuko’s choice in Ba Sing Se, Aang was killed right in front of her. And especially after almost using the spirit water on Zuko, it was pretty much pure luck and chance that she was able to bring Aang back at all. And in addition to that, she stayed by his side for weeks doing regular healing sessions not knowing when or even if Aang was going to wake up. Toph and Sokka were worried too of course. But they didn’t see him die. They didn’t have the up close and personal experience that she did. They didn’t take care of him or nurse him back to health. All this to say, I completely understand Katara. After losing her mother the way she did, I can’t imagine how traumatic it was to watch what happened to Aang. Zuko has done his part in recognizing his major role in the destruction that he’s caused. Especially growing up with the family he had. And yes, he has changed. But unfortunately that doesn’t erase what he did in the past, and nor does he get to dictate how quickly he is forgiven for it. But definitely one of my favorite episodes just for the emotional complexity of it. This seems more real to me as far as how forgiveness tends to work in real life. It’s not black and white most times, but full of gray areas. ❤ I’m genuinely enjoying y’all’s reaction to probably the piece of media that played the biggest role in my life of shaping who I am. I can’t wait to see you guys watch the next few episodes. Season 3 is a doozy 😂 Also a quick note: From this episode and forward, since Zuko now knows the true source of fire bending, he no longer grunts when he is fighting. His uncle always put emphasis on breath work and remembering to breathe when they were training together. This hint is super subtle, but it also shows that his fire truly no longer comes from rage. His breathing is controlled.

[@EasternStandardTim]

Dang, no wonder toph’s parents were so over protective, she ran away at like 6 or 7, to live in a cave with giant monsters for, who knows how long, long enough to learn earthbending, I’d lock her up too

I do understand Katara’s behavior. That scene was heartbreaking 💔🥺seeing her Holding Aang literally dead die Zuko’s betrayal after she offered him to use the spirit water on his scar, that was painful, something else: she haven’t seen Zuko’s path these days that’s why it’s so hard for her to see his face again!

[@togetherbewell]

These ATLA videos coming out in such quick succession is leaving me FED

[@vick7868]

A really cool detail of The Firebending Masters is towards the end when we see the still frame of Aang firebending. Do you remember the mast time we saw him firebend? We got a still frame of him looking scared as he realized he was about to burn Katara, an incident that ended up causing a mental block and a fear of firebending. Here, the first time we see him firebend again since that incident, we get a still frame of him firebending after his fears have been overcome, smiling and free of worry. It's a small detail but a really, really good callback that I dont see anyone catch.

[@thomasaragorn]

This is why this show is so amazing, I love reading comments like these and seeing others catch the small details that I haven't given much though of. It really makes me appreciate the show that much more.

[@frankman90210]

the inflection of "hello, Zuko here" will never not make me snort-laugh

[@tsogobauggi8721]

7:57 "Why am I so bad at being good!" :D

[@Dreveryn]

Another incredible detail about the music in this show; The show hints at this moment from episode 1. The opening theme is played during all of Aang's heroic moments. The ending theme with the drums is always played when Zuko firebends from the first episode. Then both halves play together in the epic moment they do the dragon dance together. From the start, the show and the music has perfectly represented the two as Yin and Yaang.

i know its not the point of the episode but i LOVE katara telling zoku straight up "i will KILL you if you fuck up again". its badass, and it makes sense - katara was the one who trusted him first and got betrayed, which almost got aang killed. and we know shes a very fiery and stubborn person, no wonder shes the one being very, VERY careful about trusting zuko even the tiniest bit.

[@graceasmr2312]

When zuko started dancing and you said “this is the best day ever” lolol, watching this episode is a best day ever feeing I love it so much.

[@thomaschristopherwhite9043]

Imagine what we were going through seeing this as kids back in the day. This was incredible. This show is also a great vehicle to introduce Western audiences to eastern philosophy and concepts.

[@YuGiOhPrO373]

Now that Zuko has learned the meaning of firebending he no longer grunts while bending. Previously he always grunted/growled when bending since the beginning of the show.

[@MrMeddyman]

Zuko looking at the flame and saying "I understand" hits everytime, it's like all of Uncle's teachings sunk in at once and were vindicated by that flame. "Pride is not the opposite of shame, but it's source", "In the Darkest times Hope is something you must give yourself", "It's time to look inward and ask yourself the big questions: Who are you and what do you want?" Double whammy with Aang letting go of his fear of firebending, that still frame in slow-motion is the same one he used to burn Katara, also seeing the root of firebending must have given him hope that though the world went out of balance in the 100 years he was gone, there is still a chance to return the Fire Nation to the way it was meant to be. One of the best episodes for sure.

[@JohnTK]

0:37 The main differences, in short are: A comet is made of mostly frozen water, and orbits the sun on a very steep angle. They usually come from outside the solar system, or from a place within the solar system, but far beyond the orbits of the planets. As it approaches the sun, the surface ice evaporates, and leaves two tails behind the comet. They are extremely predictable because they have a semi stable orbit, like Haley’s Comet. A meteor is a space rock that falls into earth’s atmosphere. They usually come from the asteroid belt, or other small groupings of asteroids that orbit the sun in fairly standard orbits. They are less predictable because they are typically smaller than comets, and can basically come from anywhere. These descriptions are not perfect, but most meteors and comets follow these rules.

[@fakecubed]

Incidentally, there may be a pretty cool comet visible in the northern hemisphere in early October this year. Tsuchinshan-ATLAS is getting quite close to perihelion right now, and most of us will hopefully get to see it with the naked eye after its closest pass to the Sun on September 27th. Potentially it might be very bright, maybe even the best comet we've had in the northern hemisphere since Hale-Bopp in 1997.

[@oskarprotzer3000]

everyday! we´re getting spoiled xD Love how much you are into it now

[@CrazeeAdam]

I think it's interesting who starts resisting Zuko the fastest. -Toph: has good experiences with his Uncle and can tell he's genuine. She starts trusting him the fastest. -Aang: who has some positive interactions with him and had been saved by him. He forgives him next. Sokka: Zuko has no positive interactions with him and embarrassed him in the 1st episode. He accepts Zuko 3rd. Katara: Zuko lied to her, used her personal items against her, almost killed Aang, and more. She never trusts or accepts Zuko.

[@PaulMenden5659]

Remember when Iroh was invited to serve tea to the earth king and Azula was there? He said if they want to know how he got the name "The Dragon of the West" and gave a demonstration. He then breathed fire just like the dragons, which is how he learned the secret from them which kinda actually is why he got that honorary name.

[@skyereacts125]

yall gave zuko too much of a pass he HAS done way too much for them to trust him so easily getting on your knees and saying “daddy was mean so i did bad things to u my bad” and everything is just cool? i get we empathized with him as a character but that shouldn’t mean he should just get a free pass cuz he was in pain. that’s not an excuse for what he did. he literally made her feel bad for him then aided azula in killing aang, fought her and took aang in the south pole, attacked her and sokka in the bato of the water tribe ep, personally came there village and threatened everyone there

[@jordtuber]

Incorrect, they actually didn’t trust him easily because they wanted to, the gang at first tolerated him because they had no choice and aang needed a firbender. Katara for one definitely did not give him a free pass and aang being nice to him is just in his nature and based off the past Roku showed him, if you actually watched the show and comprehended it you would not need this explained btw. Also the gang was more confident in their skills now so even if he tried to betray them he wouldn’t have made it out alive. At this point in the series katara is basically a master water bender who knows bloodbending, toph is a master earth bender and aang mastered three elements plus zuko wouldn’t have had anyone to go back to for help, he didn’t know where his uncle stood with him, azula and ozai definitely wouldn’t help him so this statement you made makes no sense.

[@lilbitx496]

Comets and meteors are made of different materials. Comets have tails, meteors appear like shooting stars. Comets orbit and return, meteors enter earth’s atmosphere and burn up. Sokka’s sword and Toph’s arm bracelet is from a meteor

[@The_Chaotic_Blade]

Comets are ice and stone, and meteors are compositions of stone. Meteorites are the ones that actually make contact with the surface, instead of burning up in the atmosphere.

[@1lots]

From now on watch closely how differently Zuko's and Aang's fire is animated. And how Zuko doesn't grunt anymore while firebending :)

[@ashleyconner6266]

Now it makes sense when you learn that dancing was banned in the fire nation.

I'm looking forward to your thoughts at the end of the series too, I'm sure you'll love it! ♥️ Also, Legend of Korra could be a good one to watch once this is finished. I like ATLA more, but Korra is still really good and has more world building for this universe. I'd recommend it for sure 😊

[@snaz388]

I think it can be inferred that the western air temple was made "upside down" bc they're mf airbenders lol and as Aang said they "laugh at gravity all the time"; so in reality they could probably live in or meditate upside down with enough skill.

[@AlejandroLopez-mt6qu]

As a kid seeing that zuko was finally at peace within himself, I thought he’d get a different fire color to prove he’s better than azula, but hey he’s stronger 🤷🏻😂

[@millieboon]

I just realise that aang kept his shoes from his fire nation outfit

[@thelostcinnamonroll]

I haven’t finished the reaction yet and so far I haven’t seen comments mentioning this, but I saw a while ago someone talking how Zuko probably doesn’t know how everyone is called. He introduces himself while trying to join the group but none of them mimics him, and in the next episodes he barely calls anybody by their name, using other words to refer to them instead (if I remember correctly). I just find it funny, the idea of him being so focused in his search for the Avatar as a concept and not as a person, that he didn’t bother learning his or his friends names!

[@dakotaparker8367]
