[@Aikko77]

I think Aang's problem with killing is a little bit more complex than how its really presented in the show. As you guys rightfully point out, Aang has surely killed people in the past, so whats the deal with him having a problem with it now? I think ultimately Aang's issue really lies in how/why the killing comes about. Before when Aang has killed people, the killing was never directly committed as a MEANS to achieve an end, it was more of a SIDE-EFFECT in the process of achieving that end. This is an important distinction which actually has real moral implications in real life, for instance, in the trolley problem. Studies have shown that people, like Aang, are more likely to see the latter as morally acceptable and the former as morally wrong. Additionally, Aang's problem is complicated by the fact that he is the LAST airbender. Its a situation which NO other Avatar has faced, and even an airbending Avatar like Yangchen doesn't truly understand. Because Aang is literally the last of his people, every action he takes reflect NOT ONLY his personal beliefs but also serves as a reflection of the beliefs of his entire people and culture. If Yangchen chose to kill, that was fine because there were other, more spiritual airbenders who could carry on airbending principles and philosophy. Meanwhile, if Aang chooses to kill it suggests that no only is killing acceptable to Aang, but it was acceptable to airbenders in general because there is nobody to dispute/counteract Aang's actions. So its a lot tougher choice for Aang than it might seem at first glance.

[@kaimobley5324]

Man pls. We all saw all those bodies Monk Geatso laid waste to before he died. The airbenders may of had their philosophies but even they weren't above killing when needed. Just like the real Buddhist Monk's

[@jp-oz5nt]

fantastic observation

[@alifortunati8389]

Also people tend to forget that Aang is literally twelve. He's a child. One thing is doing what he can to protect his family, one thing is going into a mortal duel with the intent of kill your enemy. We can do all the philosophical speculation we want but Aang, while the Avatar, is TWELVE, of course he doesn't want to kill people, even evil ones like Ozai.

[@potterjayan]

But I'll- ( Iroh starts hugging him) How can you forgive me so easily? I thought you would be furious with me. Iroh: I was never angry with you. I was sad because I was afraid you lost your way. Zuko: I did lose my way. Iroh: But you found it again. And you did it by yourself. And I am so happy you found your way here. Zuko: It wasn't that hard, Uncle. You have a pretty strong scent. *One of the best emotional moments in animation history* Sorry I just had to do it

[@logosour]

The only animation which makes me this emotional is the first 5 minutes of up movie

[@vicenteasaro1823]

At that moment for zuko, he was distraught for what he believed he betrayed his uncle, but he was also terrified of the consequences. His plea for forgiveness was also a plea for mercy, the same act he pleaded for when he faced his father. The moment Iroh grabbed him, you can still hear in his voice the disbelief in his uncles action. He wasn't just hoping for mercy, he was (deep down in his trauma) believing he was going to be punished for it.

Right up there with: Iroh: Happy birthday, my son. If only I could have helped you. Leaves from the vine Falling so slow Like fragile tiny shells Drifting in the foam Little soldier boy Comes marching home Brave soldier boy Comes marching home

[@horsegirl19951]

I think Sage’s Rain said it best from “Iroh & Zuko-Light of the Fire Nation” and you should subscribe to him if you haven’t. While Zuko’s identity and character was shaped by Ursa, his values and morals are sharpened by Iroh. Iroh is the embodiment of light and kindness. Iroh is someone who will see the best in us, no matter how the rest of the world sees us, just like he did with Zuko. Zuko doesn’t have the purity or innocence of Aang or the sarcastic humor and genius of Sokka. Zuko is awkward, troubled, lost and angry. He is a person who has failed time and time again, a person who has been through trials and tribulations. Through all of his growth and had faith he could do good. It is a story that is rooted in loss and failure, but has blossomed into a story of unconditional and unwavering love. It is a story of learning and unlearning.

[@rachelatkinson6734]

Oh you watch his videos too! I need to look at that video again

[@rmcbean5699]

My favourite thing about Zuko is that his success doesn't come from him being intelligent, it comes from the pure strength of his will. It is always shown that Azula exploits him with her superior intelligence and the reason he beats her isn't because he suddenly gained more knowledge on his journey. His redemption and moral transformation is what makes him succeed which is why he is the rightful Firelord because he can be the symbol to lead the Fire Nation to their redemption.

Everyone interprets Kyoshi's advice as "Kill him." But she told him concretely: "no justice, no peace." Maybe it's because I live in a country that has abolished the death penalty, but I do not consider that bringing true justice necessarily means killing Ozai. I find it interesting that the team comes to Iroh with one idea in mind, defeat Ozai, and all go back to do something else. This shows that defeating a genocidal tyrant is not enough to stop 100 years of imperialism. It's really smart for a child's show.

If someone is dead (like Chin) - they are dead. But that doesn’t mean she enjoys killing or anything like it, when it’s necessary she’ll do it

Yet she still counsels him that ending Ozai’s is necessary for the world to balance itself. Despite popular opinion, a wrong can make a right. Being bound to one set of morals and ethics limits and constraints your actions, and becomes just another weapon to be used against you.

[@TheJdumoulin]

I love watching your guys' reactions and it makes me happy neither of you are worried about showing how emotional you are to the scenes. I've been waiting to see the reaction to the Zuko Iroh reunion, it's one of my favorite scenes. Iroh just loves Zuko so much

[@pri2x0x]

I think one of the most amazing things about this show is that they don't shy away from characters crying (male or female), its not un-masculine or weak, its a sincere expression of emotions.

[@nikolas6938]

I think when Aang says "ive never used my power to take a life", i think he means hes never taken a life in cold blood. As in, when he knocked down things from the sky and mountains or whatever but he didnt have to look them in the eye and just murder them in that instance. Also hed also be on the heat of battle too when hes knocking things around

[@danigaribay6254]

the Zuko and Iroh reunion no matter how many times I see it always makes me cry

[@malvikamishra7302]

I don't think it's necessarily about "taking the moral high ground" for Aang. If he doesn't uphold the values of the Air nomads, who will? Yes, he is the Avatar. But he is also the last airbender.

[@Naahi95]

Also he's 12/13. I don't know how people don't get it.

[@kirstenbuchan1797]

I read a post somewhere that makes the iroh and zuko moment even more emotional. The post said that the last time he was on his knees begging for forgiveness he was given his scar so he was probably even more nervous and stressed because the last time this happened it caused a lot of pain for him physically and emotionally, but this time when he asked for forgiveness instead of being met with violence he was met with love and given a hug

[@taylorroyal6063]

Ok, but can we talk about the orchestra playing during Iroh’s speech to the group. The choice to have a live orchestra was amazing! Glad Nickelodeon provided the creators with one🙂

[@WayneQuashie-qe7xd]

The closeness that Zuko and Iroh have with other is overall real and humane, practically wholesome. That moment when the hugging began was just so touching- like a father connecting with his son. And Iroh...is more of a father to Zuko than Ozai ever will be!!!!

Lots and lots of tearbending in this 😭😭😭

I'm so glad I can watch this with people who understand that sometimes, tearbending happens.

Iroh shouted, "SQUAD UP!" and the White Lotus rallied to throw hands in Ba Sing Se.

I love how you incorporate flashbacks into your videos. They give it so much energy and life and it’s rly unique. Great quality work

[@XanthoGrl]

The Zuko-Iroh reunification is one of my all time favorite scenes

[@Yugiohfans11]

14:24 Kuruk's advice makes more sense if you know more about him. During his younger years he traveled the world challenging people to bending duels. After losing his wife to Koh Kuruk took an active stance with the spirits. Because Kuruk spent most of jis time in the spirit world he failed to preforme his avatar duties on Earth. Because of this Kuruk's successor (Kyoshi) had to establish herself as a powerful presence. Had Kuruk been more attentive Kyoshi may not have been forced to make the decisions she did. Kuruk was telling Aang that he needed to put his own needs second. Stalling for time would only cause more problems. Basically, he was telling Aang he'd need to do it.

[@ryansorenson4831]

When she said “he doesn’t exist” I always wondered like “has she had this happen before?” Cuz how would she know what that meant??? 😂

[@ChillyCucumber]

Yeah, that part was a bit of an annoyance for me, because there was absolutely nothing out of the ordinary. Aang was just out on a giant lion turtle.

Genuine tears when they've seen Iroh pull his nephew to hug him!!!! ABSOLUTELY LOVE THAT!!!! I wanna hang with these two SO BADLY!!!! They have a great aura about them.

[@EthanNewsom]

I haven't read the Kyoshi novels (I know, I know, I'll get around to it), but Kyoshi seems like an Avatar who deals in absolutes. You either get out of her way or you're dead. And I love her for it!

[@SirVampyr]

God, the Iroh scene always gets me. I don't know how you can not cry seeing this.

[@sarahcollins9972]

Can't WAIT to see you guys watch Korra for the first time together!! It let's me relive it through you guys 😭😭😭🤘🏻 love the nail polish btw kenny

[@bitfrooty]

I honestly think it makes sense Zuko would choose Katara to go face Azula. Remember his expression when he saw her bloodbending lol? I'm sure seeing that kind of power was enough to turn to her first when thinking of taking down his sister.

[@myamoo3939]

'i don't think boomerangs coming back toph' Me,every time: 😭

[@mmert138]

It was really hard for Zuko to come back too because his only other confrontation with a father figure ended with him getting burned. He never experienced this before. He thought that he can only be angry and nothing else. Seeing him just sad made him understand what it really feels like.

[@goat1408]

The edit at the hug....PERFECTION.

[@Chronos341]

I have seen this show like 10 times all the way through, but that hug and Iroh's line "I was sad because I thought you had lost your way." I bawl every time.

[@DivusMagus]

The Zuko and Iroh scene always makes me ugly cry, and I love it.

[@waynequashie1338]

Aang's responsibility IS to the world!!!! THAT I can agree!!!!

I can’t wait till you guys watch “The Last Agni Kai” Katara &Zuko VS Azula. It’s really deep and I think y’all will like it.

[@polandknight2012]

Now, that man.. Is his Father.. The way he just pulled him in 🤧🤧 I’ve literally rewatched this part a dozen times, and I’m still in tears.. Iroh got his wish though. His son came marching home. ❤️❤️

[@IAmGrunt]

I can’t wait til tomorrow😢

[@pepsipwns666]

No matter how many times I watch the iroh & zuko scene I will always tearbend. So powerful!

[@2yoyoyo1Unplugged]

Kuruk is definitely an interesting one... i recommend you BOTH read the recent Avatar Kyoshi novels. I’d love to watch you two do a discussion on THAT.

[@jennadavis8708]

Definitely cried with y’all when zuko and iroh reunited. Incredible episode guys!!! Cant wait for Sunday 💛💛💛

[@zfvids]

The Zuko moment In this one

[@TheSaxAppeal]

16:43 - fire nation soldiers definitely died due to destroying war balloons/other various weapons and machinery, but the point here is that killing is not the *intent* behind those actions, the intent was to stop an immediate threat so that everyone could be safe and alive, people dying was always kind of a secondary consequence. But killing Ozai is straight up face to face murder, and Aang has never used his bending with the express intent of killing anyone. It's like this: if there's a car flipped and on fire and you see someone in it - maybe their ribs get broken while you're pulling them out. But that's different than just walking up to someone and intentionally breaking their ribs. That's how I see the situation.

[@neemakimaku3194]

Ok guess I’m sitting here for 13 hours 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@adiksaff]

Not only is that a tearbending moment, but that editing is 👌

[@leonielovemusic]

"that thing is so weird" "you want one though?" "yes" 🤷🏻‍♀️😂

[@supremecai5857]

I just wanna say I love your memey edits and counters, but one thing I think is next-level awesome is how you do flashbacks. When they show old animation and flashback to older episodes, you do a flashback of your reaction to it as well, I love that idea and this channel

[@assassinofthecaribbean9084]

Also it's not just that he doesn't want to do it it's also the fact that in the Airnomad culture they have like specific rules they had to live by and Aang having only known that for his entire life like of course he wouldn't want to kill the fire lord Like lets not forget that he's still technically a kid Also if these Airnomads were to break these rules then basically like the same thing that happened to zuko would happen but kinda worse

[@sapphirelight3586]

18:03 It’s at this moment that everyone watching started crying including myself! I always become a fountain of tears whenever this scene comes up!

[@concreteboyreco3477]

I’m so hype for this

[@thatuberrican8745]

It’s crazy how insightful Montana has been throughout this whole series. Smart lady. Your reactions to Iroh and Zuko made me tearbend too, so you know, bravo haha 😅.

[@Theloneous]

I think Montana needs to react to "The Last Air bender." You have to experience the pain of sitting through "THAT" to appreciate this series fully.

[@gio2049]

They already watched it on live I believe

[@moonmanstan]

They don't deserve that suffering

[@Diana-zl3ue]

This is easily my 78th time watching the finale and I never NOT cry when Zuko and Iroh reunite. I was sobbing with you both haha

[@kelonpie]

She's not ready!

[@rebeccataylor6928]

I’m so ready for them to start Korra!!!! It’ll be fun to watch their reactions since they both have not seen it!

[@AlanXEverfrost]

The avatar's advice; Roku: You cannot keep hesitating and waiting for someone else to tell you what to do, be decisive. LR: He's saying something like "Trust in your beliefs and you will be rewarded for believing your beliefs." Kyoshi: Don't turn away from your actions or doing what must be done. If necesairy, crush evil. LR: She's saying "Kill him." Kuruk: Because I just let it be, didn't stand up and take action, I wasn't ready to protect what I held dearest. Basically, for evil to thrive, good men do nothing. So take a stand. LR: Another who doesn't say anything. No, they are all saying for him to get of his butt and stop looking for excuses to not do what needs to be done. But it's a kid's show, so...

[@bel410la]

And the Air Avatar said: Do whatever is necessary to protect the world. Sometimes you have to sacrifice your own beliefs for the world. (They were switched but that's basically what she said.)

[@Don-ol8ze]

Kuruk's advice is very clear. He cautions that the Avatar should be proactive, not passive. If he doesn't step up and do what it takes, it will result in disaster. But Yangchen's advice hits the hardest. That Aang has to sacrifice any chance of personal enlightenment to his predestined role is tragic.

[@willcee4966]

😂 😂 😂 Y’all foul for exposing all the bodies Aang caught

[@eringoblah]

The advice they want from the past Avatars is literally "what" to do. That's not always how advice works. You don't want someone to tell you what to do, you want their perspective and their experience, to balance and process alongside your own. Which is what the Avatars give Aang.

[@yeahkeen2905]

Seeing your reaction to Kuruk makes me really hope you read the Kyoshi novels.

[@LittleFlowerful]

Zuko is the little soldier boy that came marching home for Iroh ❤
