[@TCGaming1610]

Some characters continue into the Legend of Korra which is the sequel series to this one. Hope y’all check it out since it’s very good!

[@leonthelad3208]

One of my favorite points is that Aang defeated the Firelord not as the Avatar, but as the last airbender. The air nomads were decimated by Sozin's comet last time. Aang's duty as the Avatar means he must kill the Firelord, but his duty as the last airbender is to keep his culture alive. His act of sparing the Firelord was a beautiful representation of using the culture that was wiped out by the last Firelord to defeat the current one.

[@evrdraws1126]

BEAUTIFULLY SAID-- THANK YOU!! I was looking through the comments to see if anyone else would bring it up and I'm glad you did. What a poetic way to end this series.

[@alharairah2214]

Yes, love this point - that Aang's victory while holding onto his cultural morals is a counterpoint to Ozai's taunts of "weak" and "not deserving to live in my world".

Well said. :)

[@TheOtherBoobJustDropped]

The past avatars all told Aang that it wasn’t about him. But they didn’t understand that it was never about him, it was about his people. He is the last of them, he couldn’t betray them. being the avatar is what gave him the power to bring balance, but being the last airbender is how he did it.

"That's it Toph, I don't think boomerang is coming back this time". I don't think enough people realize how terrifying this line was.

@@amypetty5013 it wasn’t a correction. It was an addition. She doesn’t technically see the same way we do, obviously, so when she isn’t using her bending she only has her other senses. Like hearing the gravity of his (Sokka’s) tone and feeling the grip of his hand slowly slipping from around hers. The sound of her heart beat pounding in her ears and the feel of tears running down her cheeks. The sound of the fire of battle and the wind of higher elevation pushing against her.

[@frikkinpenguin]

Katara actually NOT bloodbending is one of the main reasons of why I love this series finale so much. She cried when she realized she learned it from Hama and she only used it once after. The thought of bloodbending is so abhorrent, so inherently wrong to her, that when she faced bodily harm and even possible death, she resorted to her wits. She acted very much like Sokka in that moment, who always, as a non-bender, had to outsmart his opponents, rather than simply overpower them. Sokka is often treated as more of a comedic relief, rather than a serious character, but Katara‘s fight against Azula proves, how important he is to the whole Gaang.

[@fuminshoo1266]

@AlphaMorion think about what everyone else did when they caught up to Zuko and Aang. Even Katara, the one closest to Aang, didn't jump in to "protect" him from being attacked. All she did was yell at Zuko for what she saw as him going overboard *edit Don't think Zuko knew they all trusted him that much. Think it was more an indicator of his....immaturity isn't the right word but closest I can think of

[@nathanielreik6617]

At the end of The Western Air Temple Katara said if she got even one reason to think Zuko might hurt Aang she'd end him; but then after Aang ended the fight she jsut jumps in saying that he could've hurt Aang but didn't follow through on her threat showing that The Southern Raiders did repair a lot of her trust in him.

[@eeeeeeeee9895]

⁠@@iesika7387but to Azula they’re very much the closest thing she has to friends (after the beach episode at least), they’re her most trusted subjects and her A team, so having her small circle crumble basically meant that she has nobody else to even trust to keep her secrets or vent to anymore (Firelord Ozai definitely can’t) She’s alone again (Just like when Ursa first left)

[@chechantal]

Favorite moment: Sokka holding on to Toph, realizing it might be the end. He knows she’s scared because she can’t see or orient herself to the danger they’re in and she’s grasping for some kind of hope, literally and figuratively. When he tells her he doesn’t think boomerang is coming back, it’s like he’s saying goodbye but there’s this unspoken, “I’m not going to leave you.” And it breaks me every time.

When they drop to the ship, she has no way of knowing they're saved. In that split second, she thinks either sokka dropped her or died, and she's falling to her death

The beautiful thing about avatar is that aang and zuko were always the two sides of the same coin, in fact it is a matter of seeing that the two received the attack of azula and the two were injured, aang in the back and zuko in the stomach.

[@yourenotmysupervisor9311]

I never really saw her as being twisted by her father. He definitely favored her and she definitely knew she was the father’s favorite, for being a prodigy fire bender but also probably for being a psycho like her dad. In the flashbacks, Azula as a very young kid took pleasure in torturing people and animals. She was amused that her dad was ordered to kill her brother, she had no sympathy for her cousin dying or her uncle’s pain. She didn’t seem fazed by her mother disappearing. Azula May have been pushed further by her dad but she was 100% a sociopath from the get go.

[@gregdrake5069]

​@@TheMrPeteChannel Its less than a year. Aang says a year ago he was frozen in ice. Its possible she didn't have a birthday. Or was 13 during season 1 and turned before season 2

[@IceMaverick13]

My favorite part of Aang's conversations with the old Avatars is that none of them _ever_ said anything about killing the Firelord. That's just what Aang understood their advice to mean because he thought he was already on that path and didn't see another way. Aang does eventually follow all of their advice in the showdown against Ozai, but not in the way that Aang interpreted it during his spiritual meetings.

Roku: “You must be decisive” Kyoshi: “Only Justice will bring peace” Kuruk: “You must actively shape your own destiny” Yang Chen: “Sacrifice your own spiritual needs and do whatever it takes to save the world” He followed all of their advice. At first when he was evasive and afraid, he was actively going against their advice. But once he made the decision to actively shape his destiny, to bring Justice through other means, and to focus on the salvation of the world (INCLUDING the spiritual salvation of the airbending people), he became a fully realized avatar

[@larakinan7081]

Some things you’ll notice is that atla pays a lot of attention to details in story arcs, like the fact that Zuko doesn’t grunt anymore after learning the original way of fire bending in the Masters episode. Tylee getting over her fear of “becoming part of a match set”. Also the difference between Sokka listening to Suki when they separated and she said she was fine to finish the mission, and that scene where he was too protective in book 2 in the Serpent’s Pass is just amazing contrast. Also recall the first episode where Sokka said you can’t fight fire nation with fun and Sokka using a birthday ploy to win this is just amazing 😂

One subtle detail to display the change in Azula is that most firebenders release fire either with the palm of their hands or a closed fist. She usually do it from the tip of 2 fingers but in that last fight she's just angerly throwing fire around with no regards to her usual precision

[@MrsDuck356]

yesss

[@erikperhs_]

Another cool parallel is how the first scene of her training is those old women saying she's ALMOST perfect because she had ONE hair out of place and that wasn't good enough for her, and now her hair is completely messed up.

[@TheOtherBoobJustDropped]

Also this episode is the first and only time I can think of where Iroh uses two fingers, and it’s to get rid of the fire nation symbol.

[@Prof.SeverusSnape]

​@Erik Perhs I think the most terrifying change was reflected in her bending. In Harry Potter, Bellatrix's wand is knobby and crooked, Azulas hands are bent and crooked like a marionette, almost like the Chi flowing within her is warped too. The subtle body horror and the effects are chilling.

[@Ultimaniacx4]

The healing ability was always inherently Katara's. The first time she healed her hands was with plain river water. She needed the spirit water to heal Aang because he took the full lightning bolt to through the chest and died. You can see Zuko redirected his bolt but still took some damage from being out of form and taken by surprise so she was able to heal him with plain water.

[@iCrowLink]

I don't think so, because during the North Pole bit they specifically didn't want to teach Katara how to fight with Water Bending because girls learn how to heal with their Water Bending. So healing is a Water Bending ability, that you can choose to learn or not, it's not an inherent ability of the person. If it was an inherent ability of the person then Katara would be able to use it regardless of what type of bender she was, which means there would've been Fire Bender healers, or Earth Bender healers, but there weren't.

[@nobodyj178]

Azula breaking down after losing is so cathartic in a sad sorta way. After all she's just a child, only 14 and basically grew up in a war with a warlord father raising her, she probably doesn't know what emotions are, let alone love since the only person capable of giving it to her (her mother) favored zuko. And that last bit of empathy from zuko and katara towards her just shows that they understood her mental state but doesn't excuse her behaviour which is just perfect. I always wondered how much positive change can azula bring to the world if she was raised in a more well adjusted household with all her raw capabilities and all.

She's only 14, and she struggles so much. I get hallucinations and I would never wish it on ny worst enemy. I've had them since I was 8 years old. And I've had so much help and support since then, by family, friends, and doctors. But Azula has no one. It just breaks my heart.

If I remember correctly, the voice actress that played Azula had to dig into some pretty dark emotional memories to be able to do that scene.

I have, mad, respect for her to, not only, be willing to do that but to be able to.

[@andrewthompson9619]

Something I always loved about the final agni kai was the turning of the tables. Every other time Zuko and Azula fought, she was cool and calculated while he was fighting with wild emotion, which is why he always lost. The last time they fought, on top of the air ships, he had started to find his center and he fought her to a draw. This time, she's the loose cannon while he's able to stay focused. It's a really nice progression of the relationship between those two characters. By the end, I don't think Zuko hates his sister anymore, he just acknowledges that she needs to be stopped.

Dude, this show was airing when I was a "too cool" teen, so I didn't watch it until my mid-20s. This is EASILY one of the greatest series finales that's ever been. I get chills every time I watch the final Aang/Ozai fight, and yet the Zuko/Azula/Katara fight is even better! What a stunning, breathtaking ending!

[@krystaloftheshores]

Nobody is too cool for Avatar. ;)

[@j0hn00]

Aang glowing in the Avatar state with a sphere of the elements around him just floating after Ozai like some sort of god will forever be one of the most badass things I've ever seen on screen You truly understand that the Avatar is the embodiment of all the thousands of past lives when you see him do things you've never seen before, like condensing the rock to make it heavier, then launching it in chunks like a machine gun. Just so cool

[@maureenseel118]

The lion turtle was actually referenced a few times before it appears in the finale. The library, Aang mentioned reading about it in the library episode.

[@LAG568]

To be honest for someone like Ozai taking away his bending which was his source of power that he was so obsessed with was a fate worse then death.

[@quakxy_dukx]

Katara’s healing ability is one that every water bender is capable of with training. The healing water they were talking about was from the spirit oasis in the northern water tribe which simply boosts the effects of the healing which is how Katara was able to revive Aang.

[@The_Celestial_Fox]

Something I find interesting about the spirit oasis water too is that Katara considered healing Zuko's scar with it before his betrayal, but of course uses it on Aang instead. Yet we see that he has the scar from Azula from season 3 and on, meaning it most likely wouldn't have worked on Zuko and then she wouldn't have had it for Aang.

[@JorgensZelda]

@@The_Celestial_Fox Well, the spirit water literally brought Aang back to life. That was way bigger than healing a scar. And now Aang and Zuko have matching scars.

[@The_Celestial_Fox]

@JorgensZelda But what I mean is that Katara was willing to use it to heal Zuko's scar. If she did that, it clearly wouldn't have done a thing because when we see her use it on Aang, his scar is still there and remains throughout the remainder of the series. All I mean to say is that I thought it was cool they slipped in a definitive answer to the question, "Could Katara heal Zuko's scar?" without explicitly stating it. Also, I don't think the healing properties of waterbending has any kind of priority system that was ever mentioned in the show.

[@TheOtherBoobJustDropped]

I think it’s important that Katara didn’t bloodbend. As y’all pointed out, this episode was each of the characters finally becoming the person they’ve been striving toward the entire season. Katara is so kind, but she’s haunted by the death of her mother, which has led her to become controlling and full of rage. To become the person she’s truly meant to be, it was important that she let that rage and that control go. If she bloodbended, she wouldn’t have really grown as a person. She NEEDED to end this with dignity and mercy and kindness.

You guys are just so relatable it is baffling, keep up the amazing work; not just the three of you but everyone involved with the Badd Medicine project! 💚 Aang redirecting the lightning and Ozais face is so incredibly well done; in that very moment he should have realized that Zuko really helped the Avatar to win over him while also expecting that he should be dying now. A lot of people miss the part where Ty Lee joins the Kyoshi warriors; remember how she told us that she was 1/12 sibling who all look the same and that is why she joined a circus to become unique? Here is she now fully embracing putting the make up of these brave women on her face and making herself indistinguishable again. You love to see it!

The final fight between Azula and Zuko is one of the most well-choreographed, and brilliantly animated, episodes of all television!

[@RabbitShirak]

It also illustrates their current mindsets with how they fight. Azula is constantly on the move trying to find a dent in Zuko's defence. Zuko meanwhile is mostly just staying in one spot, perfectly balanced.

[@Mesajinx]

@@RabbitShirak So true!

[@midnightlupus1262]

Azula's descent into madness is one of the best written villain arcs I've ever seen. She was already unstable, but losing the two people she saw as trusted advisors and realizing that their love for each other was greater than their fear for her absolutely wrecked any sense of self she had. To see her brother who she always had viewed as beneath her have teammates that valued him and appreciated him just further cemented her inferiority complex. In the end she was someone to be pitied. Also, funfact. If you want to see what happened to Zuko's mom they released a comic that details her story!

[@RainCloudat3am]

It's so important to remeber that Azula's story and ending is a tragic one. Her actions are evil but keep in mind who she was raised by an evil, abusive father who never truly cared for anyone, not even his children. From day 1 Azula was an incredibly talented firebender so the Firelord favored her over Zuko but never loved her, this drove Azula and Zuko further and further apart because the only way to win their father's "affection" was through their skill as firebenders and behaving just as cruelly as he did. She never had Iroh to help her and she believed her mother saw her as a monster unworthy of love. She was never able to spend time away from the Fire Nation, away from the royalty and propaganda, to see what the war was doing to the world and how it was affecting everyone (including the people in the Fire Nation). Her friends understandably turned their backs on her but Azula couldn't understand why, she was taught her whole life that the only way to keep people around you was through fear. If she was able to have any sort of support and guidance she could have had a similar story to Zuko. The creators of ATLA wanted to show Azula gradually becoming a better and more whole person and that constant she needed, the person who would never have given up on her, would have been Zuko. Azula is 14 at the time of the finale and Zuko is 15 or 16, they're just kids. [Edit]: Sorry, i also wanted to add that you can see Azula's mind start to shift when Mai and Ty Lee "betray" her because she thought they'd always stay with her out of fear but she was wrong, everything she's ever been taught was wrong. The pressure her father put on her was too much and now he's leaving her behind because he doesnt need her anymore and she knows this. Azula has no one and her mind is finally breaking under all of the pressure and everything she's had to do just to get her father's love only to be given the Firelord title and discarded because her father doesnt need either of them anymore. Big sad. Love the reaction guys, I truly hope yall have an amazing day and thank you so much for the content yall bring❤

[@alexinator-hh5fe]

This is it. The finale to a great show. Time to do one final analysis. Azula is honestly one of my favorites from Avatar. Her father teaches her that trust is a weakness. That love is for fools. Because he doesn't love his own family. He plots against his brother in his time of emotional grief, he plays a part in his father's death(implied), scars his own child, and then separates Azula from her mother by teaching her how to do things his way. Azula then goes to keep everyone at arms length. Except for Mai and Ty Lee. And even with them, she still employs some of the manipulation techniques that her father told her worked so well. After all, he's the Firelord. One of the most powerful and influential people alive. He is living proof that using people gets you what you want. That it makes you truly happy. So she does that. She tells herself that, "almost isn't good enough" whenever she slips up even a little bit. Everything has to be perfect. Because when his children are less than perfect, they get treated like Zuko. But Ozai could never treat Azula like Zuko. He obviously has trust in her. She takes down most of team Avatar, she nearly drills into Ba Sing Se, she almost takes out her uncle(a powerful thorn in the side of anyone he goes against), she infiltrated the impenetrable city and brought it down from the inside. "You were never even a player." She brought down the Avatar and had it not been for spiritual water, would've ended the cycle there and then. She has a small slip of emotion when talking about how her mother treated her and gives a small glimpse at her insecurities but quickly brushes it aside. She holds off Team Avatar even when she doesn't have her bending. Then it all falls apart during the boiling rock. Mai loves Zuko more than he fears her. But that's impossible. Ozai said fear was the only rational way. Then Ty Lee betrays her as well. An even further impossibility. It can't be happening. Then Ozai looks at all of the hard work she's done and casts her aside. He gives her a position and then immediately makes an even better one for himself and leaves her at home. After everything she's done, he treats her like Zuko. Azula then begins to panic. Because fear isn't working. Everyone is either leaving or she makes them leave because she's starting to fear that they'll inevitably betray her. To the point where she has to imagine her mother telling her that she LOVES her. Azula smashes the mirror as she realizes that her father left her with nothing. And it all culminates in that final battle. Where she makes mistakes that she would never have made. Slips up. And has a breakdown. Because she was supposed to have everything. She had fear. Zuko was supposed to have nothing. He had weakness. He had love. So why were the roles reversed? Why did her father abandon her? Why did her friends leave? All of that on the shoulders of a 14 year old girl. And it broke her. And that makes Azula's story so tragic to me.

[@davidmichaelson1092]

"That must have been Zuko's first joke." What you don't remember "Leaf me alone, I'm bushed?" This finale is one of the most spectacular finales ever. I wish I could see it on a movie screen.

[@ThurinCallon]

As far as I know, there's a comic book that tells the story of how Zuko found his mother, by the information given by Ozai. Everybody goes with him, including Azula, who made a pact with the gang just because she wants to see her mother. And they found her, but she doesn't have the same face. Turns out that she made a pact with Ko the spirit that takes faces, to give her a new face and new memories to start from scratch. She had a new life, a new name, a husband and even a baby girl. When Zuko finds this out he reveals himself as her son, and then she decides to get her face and memories back, so family can be reunited. But Azula doesn´t believe this, she thinks her mother has been plotting against her all her life, and threatens to hurt Ursa, but Zuko manages to stop her. After all that Azula simply disappears and I really don´t know where did she ended up. And Zuko takes his mother and his new family to the Fire Nation, where she was banished. Then she decides to visit Ozai in jail to see him as what he really is, a really small man. She walks away of him, no longer afraid of Ozai.

[@texposeidon1256]

Zuko and Azula’s fight is one of my favorite parts of that episode, and one of the things that makes it so amazing is that Zuko incorporates several bending techniques from the other nations into his fire bending. It’s like Zuke was on a parallel journey too Aang! Aside from the devastation of a 14 year old girls mind, that was amazing.

[@indig0icee]

I love that Zuko eventually took his Uncle’s advice from Season 2: incorporating techniques and philosophies from all the elements to become a more well-rounded individual. Not waiting for the Avatar, alone, to embody that unity. It’s so cool that the expansion of Zuko’s worldview and his fire bending technique parallel each other in that way. I’m also glad that they didn’t play the final Agni Kai between Zuko and Azula as some flashy power-fantasy … Zuko just standing up to a bully and handing out comeuppance. Instead, with that background music and choreography, it’s beautiful and actually really SAD. While being a testament to Zuko’s increased mental balance, strength, and the support he found in friends like Katara… the scene doesn’t let us forget that these are two fighting siblings. They should be helping each other and working together, but their personalities and the people that raised them set each sibling on a path that can now only be resolved with violence. The whole fight is a tragedy. And we see at the end that Katara and Zuko feel that. They aren’t high-fiving or cracking jokes; they are serious and deeply affected Azula’s state. I appreciate that weight and it’s always made that plot conclusion even more satisfying for me than Aang’s.

[@texposeidon1256]

@@indig0icee Thank you so much for this ❣️ you are so are right. It wasn’t Zuko and Katara getting revenge or dueling out punishment. Zuko was stopping her as her older brother because she wasn’t going to stop and if he didn’t, then it was going to get worse, not just for their people but for her. Through his gained maturity and stability in himself Zuko could truly see his sister, not perfect Azula fathers favorite but his little sister that their parents ruined too. Their fight was beautiful in it’s tragedy.

There is a sequel! Please tell me you guys are going to do Legend of Korra... it doesn't have the reputation Last Airbender has but it is so fantastic! It stars the avatar directly after Aang - Korra, from the water tribe. The main characters are a little bit older, late teens and into early 20s, so the stories are a bit darker. And the world has had an industrial and technological boom after years of the peace and prosperity that Aang and Zuko brought. The animation style is crisp and beautiful. And not only does LoK introduce us to the very first Avatar, it also goes into how bending and the Avatar came to be. Oh, also, we do get to see scenes of Aang and the gang older, as well as meet the current, older versions of some of the gang - but I'm not going to spoil who. I've seen other reactors do Last Airbender but completely miss Legend of Korra, and that's really sad because its so good!

[@keanugibson3753]

One of my favourite parts about the finale is that only Aang could remove someones bending because all the previous Avatars were willing to sacrifice their beliefs for the world. Aang would not sacrifice his beliefs making his spirit unbendable.... I loved your reactions and even tho it's not as good IMO I hope you react to the legend of Korra

[@Sway22]

Azula developed severe trust issues after her closest friends betrayed her. That's why she started banishing everyone coz they "can't be trusetd". Also if you really liket the series you might want to read the comics on your own time! There are a couple with different stories but there is also a sort of "4th book" where we finally get to know what happened to Zuko's mother and also find out what happened to Azula since she is not dead at the end of the series.

[@marieasoleil]

What makes the ending so satisfying, apart from Zuko’s incredible redemption arc, is that in the end, Aang didn’t have to sacrifice his morals in order to defeat the fire lord. Although he sought out wisdom from the past avatars, he still found his own way as Avatar Aang. I also love the brief details at the very end depicting Zuko’s growth in his character, especially his humility. While everyone cheers at his coronation, he immediately redirects the attention to Aang. Then, at the very end, he is shown serving everyone tea at his uncle’s tea shop - even though he is fire lord. A clear depiction that although he has gained the authority, he remains level headed and humble. Lastly, I think Iroh’s redemption is often overlooked (because we see the goodness in his character through the entire show and know he is a member of the white lotus). But his act in aiding to free Ba Sing Se redeems him in the eyes of the other nations, as well.

[@eliteteamkiller319]

The fight between Zuko and Azula, with that somber music, is one of the best scenes in tv history. And you know what it reminds me of? The last scene of The Last of Us. Same kind of somber music playing in the midst of cataclysmic, final violence. Just beautifully written. All final battles should have this kind of feel.

[@jessaminedavis1526]

The Last Agni Kai will always be my favourite fight in this whole show. In other shows, they would have put epic music in, but I absolutely love how here it's sad music. Music that remains people that yes it looks cool but in the end it's a 16-year-old brother and 14-year-old sister fighting each other almost to the death (I say almost because I think only Azula is going for the actual kill shots whereas Zuko is more trying to just knock her out because deep down he still cares for his sister). Aang vs Ozai is a close second for favourite fight scene for me

If you remember, bumi said that aang need to find a master of neutral Jin because it's waiting for the right time. Bumi did just that. He waited until his people had been evacuated and the eclipse to reclaim his city in a way that avoided unnecessary bloodshed.

[@Nonalhomophobie]

Zuko has grown so much. He is following Iroh's advice to get inspiration from the other bending arts to strengthen his firebending : - during all the fight he stays on the same spot and blocks some of Azula's attacks like an earthbender - he uses great agility and jumps to avoid or deflect other attacks like an airbender - and aside from lightning redirection, he constantly adapts to Azula and switches back from attack to defense like a waterbender.

i think that aang's not wanting to end the firelord's life is not just because he has been taught the principles of the air nomads, but because if he does this, it's truly the death of his culture and people. he's the last one living by their standards. avatar yang chen was able to make that choice and give him the advice that he's going to have to kill someone, but she was survived by others and didn't have to worry that there was no one left. his position is even more unique than any other avatar in the past.

[@fir3gaming664]

The last 2 episodes of this series are some of the most amazing ending TV show episodes I can think of being made. The incredible artwork of the colours smashing together, and the final fights, Iroh straight up oneshotting Ba Sing Se's wall he spent years seiging. Also worth noting Aang WAS decisive, even when he didn't seem it. He KNEW he didn't want to kill Ozai, and even though he didn't know another way to resolve it he knew he couldn't kill him. The Lion Turtle teaching him how to bend the energy within themselves just confirmed that there is always another way. Really hope you guys do Korra next, its a really solid sequel to the series, and 3/4 of the seasons are just as good as the original series imo.

For Oak, the most important and high level nerve wrecking, nail-biting moment was clearly starting at 57:25 xD I recommend the comic books if you want to see more romance!! :P Also you can find out there what happened to Azula and soon the next comic book of "azula in the spirit temple" will come out! (september the 26th I think? )

So excited to see you guys finish this series! Such a great finale, they really stuck the landing with the show. For a long time I didn't like that the creators "coped out" by not having Aang kill Ozai but after a while it sunk in for me that Aang is the last living member of a ethnic group of pacifists who were victims of genocide. All the teachings of the Air Nomads that will be passed to future generations will come through him & I could understand why he'd feel like those teachings would be tainted by hypocrisy if he killed Ozai but still tried to pass on Air Nomad pacifism (we did see that Monk Gyatso killed in self-defense but Aang, as we saw, was capable of winning the fight without resorting to killing Ozai- even before he took away his bending)

Hahahaha Oak's anticipation of the kiss is priceless. This finale, I was in the living,a middle school kid absolutely fired up. I was mimicking the moves and everything. But of course, we all felt robbed when they didn't show what happened to Zuko's mother....then released it in the comics Also Mark Hamill has a good number of evil roles like The Joker in the animated Batman

1:19:55 the Chanting that plays when Aang meets the Lion turtle and that we hear here is actually a genuine Budhist chant. It says "Na Mo A Mi Tuo Fo Shin Di" wich more or less translate as "I Bow to the Infinite Light". Just another layer of Detail this show has, that i think is quite interesting.

This show is unquestionably the greatest piece of western animation ever made. Easily on par with my personal favorite anime, Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood. A show that I would also love to see them watch. Edit:Just a clarification. When I said "the greatest piece of western animation ever made", I meant as a TV series, as there are definitely animated movies that are as good or better.

[@thorneyquins8780]

What a finish indeed!!, it is fun to see you guys enjoyed this iconic show, i hope you will watch the avatar: legend of korra, and want to see your reactions... can't wait for the upcoming ones...👍👍

I learn to love some Iroh's moments: 1. When he met Zuko again and how he speaks to him. 2. When he stops his life to remember his son birthday. One another powerfull moment is when Zuko and Aang learn fire bending from the dragons

Finally! I love every time someone reacts to this amazing series. Glad y’all enjoyed it. It’s always bittersweet every time the final end credits roll. Flameo🔥

[@DarksideGmss0513]

Zuko and Katara vs Azula is the most beautiful fight ever in all of animation.

[@dianatorrao]

This was awesome! Hope that you guys watch some other shows! I'll just leave a sugestion: Attack on Titan....It's an adult anime and it's incredible

[@BaddMedicine]

On the list to get to. We have Invincible, Arcane, Korra, then AOT 😁🤘

[@MegaMilenche]

@@BaddMedicine I strongly recommend Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood. Also, for the greatest psychological thriller in anime format, I recommend Monster, it's oldie but goldie.

So funny seeing answer talking about being in his 20’s falling in love with the show. I started watching when I was 9 and the show ended when I was 12. Fast forward and now I’m going on 28 and I rewatch this show multiple times a year. It’s my ultimate comfort show and it’s something I always go back to. I love seeing newcomers fall in love with it; it’s one of my favorite ways to rewatch and BADD MEDICINE’s reactions didn’t disappoint. So glad I got to experience this journey (again) with you three. I know Oak wanted a redemption arc for Draco, so I hope he got great satisfaction from seeing Zuko’s entire arc. Zuko’s redemption is the blueprint and I’ve yet to see another fictional character with a similar arc compete in his league.
