Katara got them HANDS! - Avatar The Last Airbender Episode 18: The Waterbending Master

[@AegeChill]

"Important Read the description" But for yall that don't liking reading the tldr is, Audio is kind of scuffed so use headphones if you can. I spend extra days fixing it the best I can so we wouldn't have to skip episodes (ya boy wants a goddamn pat on the back lol).

@@nemo9864 yeah he is

[@Cerracrossing]

It seems Zuko's got 4 paths here, from what I can see: -The siege succeeds, Zhao captures Aang and he's brought to the Fire Nation. Zuko has no hope to come back from this, unless Aang escapes himself; even then, Zuko will likely be in worse standing with the Fire Nation than he already is. -The siege fails, but Zuko does not capture Aang. Zuko has lost everything; while he still has hope, his chances are thin and it will take time and luck for him to rebuild his strength. -Zuko somehow captures Aang and evades Zhao. He's now stuck in the North Pole likely outside of the city, and Katara, Sokka, and possibly Pakku are still likely out there. His fate is uncertain, and his situation is perilous. -Zuko takes charge of the siege, but does not capture Aang. While the battle is lost, Zuko now has likely earned some respect from the Fire Nation military. He's in a better position than ever to capture Aang. I wonder what will happen...

Katara explained in episode 1 she's the only waterbender in the south, they cant built ice structures like that

[@hirvale]

Aye, makes perfect sense. Especially considering what we learn in season 3

[@PhoenixXZY]

Yeah I always figured the southern tribe was more affected by the war than the north was, considering they are closer to the Fire Nation

[@shadowmahesh9876]

bruh its not good to underestimate architects. u have to know that non benders do have the capabilities of creating massive structures as well. its just that benders do it at a faster rate

[@hirvale]

@the baron [SPOILERS] These are all just theories here, but I think the fact that there was never an all out war between the Southern Water Tribe and the Fire Nations contributed to their eventual loss. I think from the start the South never had as much development and Infrastructure as the North but they must have still had walls and fortifications. The way the fire nation dealt with the south was launching small raids little by little until they had no strength of opposition. So the only way the North could have assisted the South was by mounting their own attack towards the fire nation, which I think they didn't want (they seem to be very isolationist, not dealing with the fire nation until they were at their doorstep). That, or the fire nation barred most communication between the 2 tribes, making it hard to communicate their situation or mount a coordinated attack (they didn't even know the fire nation had had a change of uniform). I'm guessing overtime, as the fire nation captured more and more waterbenders, the Southern water tribe's ice structures had no one to maintain them and eventually succumbed to blizzards, leaving only small manageable huts. That's my guess, at least.

[@hirvale]

@@shadowmahesh9876 Yes but you can't underestimate the amount of men the south lost to the fire nation. There were legit less than 50, maybe 100 people left in the tribe and I'm guessing most of the men were raised to wield a spear, not a hammer.

[@shininghorus]

Katara did have that waterscroll from the pirate episode to practice with, so she would have advanced compared to the last time we saw her fight. Also Katara is the last waterbender in the southern tribe, so it's not that they have waterbenders to build buildings and stuff like the northern, they gotta do it all by hand, so they just got some little igloos. There are more reasons too, but that'll come up later I think, so I'm not spoiling it.

[@AegeChill]

solid point *nod in agreement*

[@newsaxonyproductions7871]

The Southern Water Tribe was made up of several villages, spaced out across the South Pole. Sokka and Katara's village was just one of them. It was one of the biggest, however. Book 3 gives more details and shots of the South in it's prime. When you read North and South as part of your series on the comics, you'll see. The South was also originally a colony of the North, and there is some prejudice because of that. The South is still technically ruled by Yue's dad. The sitch is similar to the British Commonwealth (Canada, Australia).

in the first episode Katara says that they haven’t had contact with their sister tribe in a long time due to how far away it is edit: also, the waterbending scroll is why she knows more than the basics and is able to hold herself in a fight. if episode 1 self taught katara were to fight him there’s no way she would’ve fought for that long

[@bendaonfire0078]

Still felt weird seeing aang having pretty big difficulties at it after we saw aang being natural talent in the water scroll episode.

[@val8869]

Bendaonfire007 yeah, but it’s also not completely out of left field either. situations like this happen irl all the time, such as when a “gifted” student reaches a higher difficulty and suddenly isn’t gifted anymore. plus, air and water are very similar elements, so it’s to be expected that it would come easily to him at first, but that doesn’t mean it all will. katara’s sheer determination and willingness to learn (along with being naturally powerful) is why she was able to pick up water bending so fast once she had a proper master. I honestly believe she’s just a much a prodigy as aang, she just lacked someone to guide her, whereas aang had the monks.

[@deityofchaosandkindness]

I saw another theory that he realized he lost the love of his life because he was so stubborn and thought women couldn’t be equal in bending. He tried to change his ways because he lost someone he deeply cared about, not because “Ah this kid is related to the girl I liked 60 years ago”. Idk I think that makes sense, but perhaps that had *some* part in it, but I think it was mostly him realizing he needed to change.

[@deityofchaosandkindness]

Tinyrocket I know, I was talking about him specifically since that’s who we were commenting on. He was highly influential, so maybe he and Aang and/or Katara helped prove that women could be great waterbenders and deserved the chance to learn.

Watching you is very refreshing, I love your jokes and your whole energy. Thanks a lot for putting so much work in saving the reaction! But don't worry, you did a reallt good job at it, I appreaciate the extra work you put into the episode. As someone who has helped create a short movie of 10 minutes and having been part of the editing process I know editing can be a pain and difficult especially with the audio glitching out. So really, thank you so much for the extra work! Edit; Also I think we weren't as invested in Yue and Sokka as in Sokka and Suki is because the episode with Suki (The Warriors of Kyoshi) was a Sokka centric episode whereas this one was more about Katara, hence why Yue barley had any screentime.

Just think how many Waterbenders it probably takes to shape and maintain a city like that where everything is made out of water and ice. Would not be possible to do by hand. Like Zhao said, the Northern Tribe has stayed out of the war for the most part, so they have the most Waterbenders in the north and their city hasn't been messed up the way the Southern Tribe has. The only reason Zhao is even assembling an armada is because they can't allow Aang to become a bigger thorn in the Fire Nation's side.

Over here in the UK, Nickelodeon was behind the US release, I remember they only aired episodes 1-13 for the longest time. One day out of curiosity, I checked YT for Avatar videos and saw this fight in a video. I remember looking at it in awe because the fight is so much better than the things from 1-13 and basically started watching the episodes online so I could watch the US release.

It's so great to listen your thoughts about Zuko. I think you'll love his story.

[@residentfan1521]

5:07 I’ve never noticed this before but they even animated the strings on the guitar(I don’t know if it’s actually a guitar but I’ll call it that) in a way that shows he’s pressing on them. Notice how every time he presses down on the fret the string bends down a bit and turns white to emphasize it. He’s also pressing on all the right strings to make the right sounds which a lot of cartoons gloss over and just have the character press random strings and somehow play the song perfectly.

I like your theory of Zuko taking out Bozo the Clown and lead the invasion. Then, successfully conquering the Northern Water Trube but still doesn't capture Aang. And interesting theory angle and perspective. Amazing!

[@lindaalvarez5737]

The reason why the Southern water Tribe, the home of Asoka and Katara, it’s like that is because they no longer have any manpower left to make the city grow any longer. Remember that in their hometown they only have child children and old people, all the men and all the Warriors no benders to fight in the war, taking with them all the ships and all the weapons: and (this is not explained in the 1st season but you can infere it) just like katara said she is the last water bender in her tribe, the rest were hunted down by the fire nation until there was no one left in her home, that was before Katara was even born (when her grandma was young) so nobody knew there was still a water bender in her tribe. With this as you can see they don’t have the ability to make the houses, buildings or constructions that can be made with water bending, Nor do they have the manpower to expand or mantain their territory any longer or to have the proper military force.

[@kemolegend907]

The reason why the northern tribe is more advanced than the southern tribe is the lack of benders in the southern tribe

[@caleboles8896]

Zuko is crafty enough to survive another way, but the fire ball he encapsulated himself in during the explosion is an air bending move he picked up from fighting Aang.

yoooo can’t wait for these next few episodes this is gonna be fun

[@PizzaTimeFanatic]

I loved the way you did this episode! Despite it being an error I enjoyed being able to see you react to all of it with little to no issues in my part.

[@aegeanviper73]

I’ve been waiting for you to get to this episode since you started this season 🤣 also GREAT job on fixing the audio like I didn’t even remember the issues with it once I just zoned into the video

[@NixiePixie22]

it brings my heart such joy to see Aege getting all inspired & hyped, his mind running and theorizing on what's to happen next, all I can do is smile =]

[@violentscorl697]

Aege my boy, missing Suki like I did at this point😫 I really like that you remember characters like hers. Many reactors hadn’t even gotten her name DURING her episode!

[@ItssMelissa]

Your end of video theorising has me PUMPED for your reaction to the next episode You cannot predict it

[@qrowdabro6332]

2:55 Is this going to be your unique intro from now on? I like it.

[@JuicySH]

I‘ll be disappointed if he stops to do that tbh 😂

[@sanityisrelative]

@@JuicySH he missed an episode or two. It was noticed.

[@ramblingsofgabby]

I feel like this is the episode where the writers locked in on Katara's characterization. My least favourite part of season/book 1 is the inconsistency clearly seen in Katara. But from here on out she's better written.

[@theavatar9191]

Especially when she turned into Sakura during Jet 😭

[@AegeChill]

Hmm interesting, I felt like I liked her a lot this episode so see more of her acting like this would be pretty neat.

"This is one of the top five episodes." Just be patient XD And yeah, Zuko's story will go directions...you would never expect right now. This will be veeeery interesting.

[@Giovanna-rv3gx]

The southern tribe got heavily attacked by the fire nation and katara was the only waterbender left, that's why they didnt have big ice structures like the north

[@Giovanna-rv3gx]

Other people have probably already pointed that out tho lol sorry

[@piaha8274]

BUMSI!😂 I love watching your reactions.

[@skits_3d824]

Two parter next hopefully this will blow your expectations out of the water Aege 😉😁 I hope it won't be too long for the next videos

[@He11raiser01]

You gotta remember, pretty much everyone from the Southern tribe was either taken prisoner for being a water bender or is off fighting in the war; The southern tribe is a lot closer to the Fire Nation, whereas the North doesn't have as much contact.
