I love how this episode strips nearly the whole team of one of their important strengths. Aang losses his optimism, Toph loses her ability to sense her surroundings, and Sokka losses his wits, leaving katara desperately trying to hold the group together and get them out of the desert safe. It really showcases how important katara is as the anchor of the group

I am weirdly disgusted by the young Sand bender... Like... Bro's "I'm sorry, we didn't know it belonged to the Avatar" implies he only feels guilt because of fear of Aang's power... Had it been anyone else he wronged he'd feel no guilt. Genuinely a vile dude. Also to my knowledge that Buzzard Wasp is the only confirmed kill Aang has had thus far... Which makes it extra shocking and horrifying...

[@franconunez925]

Yep, I heard about a person like that once from my sister and it really feelt/feels disgusting, and also, the fact that he went from a pacifist vegetarian to killing an animal without any need to? Crap he went the darkest he ever was or will be in this episode.

[@justingabriel1765]

If im going to be completely honest, that’s what they do, they live in the desert, they gotta trade to survive. Let you live in that place your whole life and then you see a what was thought to be extinct species, you’ll probably try to take it too so that you can have better stuff for your tribe. Im not gonna blame him for the messed up situation their lives put them in. Remember the swamp benders wanted to eat momo and Appa, that’s just how it is sometimes. If it was easy to not live there and move they probably would no one wants to live in a desert

[@XxOnyxStudiosxX]

@@justingabriel1765 Trading is not the same as stealing. The swamp benders probably assumed Appa and Momo were just stray wild animals at first, but the sandbenders saw Appa with the gang so they knew what they were doing. The father disapproved of what his son did when he found out so clearly they're not all bad. Sure, living in the desert has got to be terrible but that doesn't excuse endangering other people, especially when it's the world's last hope for peace. That random sandbender could've unknowingly doomed the entire world.

[@justingabriel1765]

@@XxOnyxStudiosxX … I never said trading and stealing were the same thing? He STOLE appa to TRADE him it came right out of his mouth. That’s what they do, they scavenge the desert and take what they can and trade it off. I never said there wasn’t good people among them either, but that doesn’t change that the kid thought “damn that thing would help us get loads of food” and decided on taking it. I already said that their situation is messed up I didn’t say they can’t make mistakes, I just said I’m not gonna blame him. Are you okay?

[@XxOnyxStudiosxX]

​@@justingabriel1765 I'm feeling pretty okay, thanks for asking. Believe me I sympathize very easily with morally grey or problematic characters, that's why Zuko is my favorite. Hell I even liked Jet when it seems like a lot of the audience didn't. But I need more to go off of to justify someone doing something so selfish. My point about the father was actually me agreeing with you, that the sandbenders are in a difficult situation with deeper motivations than we see. Kinda ironic that you took my one statement in your favor as an attack. And no, you didn't explicitly say stealing is the same as trading, but you did minimize it by focusing on the trading aspect, and again with this comment by calling it a "mistake" which is pretty generous. You're also assuming that he stole Appa specifically for food when he could have just been greedy. If the sandbenders did need the money from Appa to survive, don't you think he would have told Aang when he confronted him? All he says in his defense is that he didn't know it belonged to the Avatar, which is pretty flimsy. The pirates from season 1 also steal and trade to make their living, but that doesn't make them sympathetic (although I do like their style). I don't really get why you defend a character we see for less than a minute and causes the characters so much trouble but you do you.

Many people believe that this is the episode where Aang has the greatest control over the Avatar State so far.

[@trans_panda]

I think it was actually simply all the past Avatars can feel his pain. One fact is ALL of the Avatars were said to have an animal guide, Appa was Aang's and also was the only one Aang had left of the southern temple from 100 years ago. Sure, Momo is also from the temple but not from Aang's time, only Appa. All the Avatars collectively came together to fuel his anger. It was the most controlled because they all had the same exact thought as him, whoever had taken the Avatar's animal guide needed to pay that was the thought of all the past Avatars.

[@jfree672]

[@sethgibson5148]

This is my favorite episode of this entire book for me. So many great things. We get to see angry Aang, then dark Aang. We get to see Aang kill (for the first time) that vulture wasp, and cut it in half. (You can see it right before it lands.) You can see that Appa being taken and muzzled is the same for Aang as being attacked and activated the avatar state (which is just supposed to be a defense mechanism for him.) Toph experience that avatar state for the first time, and all she can do is be shocked, that Aang is this overwhelming rage. Then Katara being the mvp this episode, keeping every together the best she can, and being the only one that could actually stop Aang. If she wasn't there, 100% Aang would've kill them all.

[@frijolitoazul4343]

the vulture is not cut in half, when the vulture falls it's actually just the way it's neck is bended and is so thin from far away that gives the impression that it's not there, so it looks like the head is cut appart, but if you zoom in you can still see some pixels between the head and the body. doesn't matter though, that vulture is dead as hell

When you think about it, it must extra hurt for Toph, her entire character arc before this was about her being so independent and being able to carry her own weight. Now once she’s finally accepted helping and getting help from others, the first time she is by herself she loses Appa. She went through all that growth and now that she actually cares and has turned away from the tough guy persona, all the things she said while wearing it get thrown back in her face too when Aang said she wanted him gone

[@masonpallanes7258]

Aang was so lost without Appa that he was going against own his principles. They've always been together ever since they met even when they froze in the sea, It's no wonder he reacted the way he did. This was also a great episode for Katara, her ability to keep a level head while her team is fissuring apart. She also realizes that Aang doesn't mean what he says and is only lashing out because he's hurting and angry that his friend has been kidnapped and feels helpless. Katara really showed her mental fortitude and maturity in this episode.

[@lenny_has_arived6679]

Something that may have been pointed out already, but Aang was crying while in the Avatar State. That means that Aang and all of his previous incarnations were crying together. Hundreds of souls all crying together because each and every one of them understands what an Avatar’s animal guide means to them. Each and every one of them understands exactly how much pain Aang is feeling.

[@dragonsvideos6737]

I never thought of that. I thought it was just him

[@strawcold]

We have seen so far that Aang generally avoids hurting people, or at least hurting them badly. Added with the fact that he's a vegetarian, and the only food we see so far that other Airbenders have eaten not really containing meat, it's possible the Air Nomads try their best to be passive and avoid hurting/killing. The only confirmed kills we have from Air Nomads before this episode was the implication that Monk Gyatso went out like a total badass and somehow killed all of the Fire Nation soldiers in the room where he ended up dying. (Maybe he sucked the air outta them? Or made a vortex thingy that made it so nobody, including him, could breathe? I wonder if he was the last airbender there to go down, or if he was sacrificing himself to let others escape. Sadly, if it's the latter, we know it didn't really work bc there aren't any descendants of escaped Air Nomads that we know of.)

[@bthsr7113]

And let's not forget how this was during their campaign juiced by the comet. Demons Run when a good man goes to war.

[@ethanquirk28]

What you really need to pay attention to is the *entire temple* is clean of Fire Nation dead besides around Gyatso. An entire temple of Air Benders and the Fire Nation forces while under the influence of Sozin’s comet chose to devote their entire force on Gyatso alone. Also, sad story thats fleshed out in the comics, there *were* Air Benders that survived the attack on the temples. The Fire Nation raided the temples afterward and took a bunch of sacred items to use like a breadcrumb trail for survivors to think they’d found hidden enclaves of other Air Benders hidden in the mountains. They’d then trap them in the caves as they desperately sought the kin that was never there and slaughtered them through force of numbers

It's not acknowledged, but when Aang was speaking while in the avatar state, that was 10,000 years worth of past avatars being channeled through him at once!

[@Taizen001]

Aang's unstable emotional state really speaks volumes to how much Appa means to him. He only really goes into the Avatar state when his life or the lives of people he loves are in danger (aside when he saw monk Gyatso's skeleton, which triggered it through intense grief). But this time, no one's life was in direct danger. It was triggered by pure rage. All that anger and fury built up from his oldest and closest friend's capture and mistreatment, finally exploding.

[@kingofflames738]

Btw, you shouldn't drink from a cactus. In most cases it's poisonous. Drinking the juice was also never part of any survival guides. You're supposed to cut out a piece and put it below your tongue. That will quench your thirst for a while, but you aren't actually drinking anything from it. It just helps you to preserve the water you already have by making traveling easier.

One thing people miss about this episode is that Aang's accusation towards Toph about wanting Appa gone stemmed from the Chase episode where Toph rightly said it was because of Appa that the Bad Girl Trio kept finding them. There was still a lot of unresolved anger towards Toph due to that, and due to the previous episode. This all stems from the first episode of the season, where Katara said she couldn't bear to watch Aang be in such rage and pain.

[@whensomethingcriesagain]

I really think this is the best episode of the series. This episode was Aang at his most compelling, seeing him deal with such a difficult situation and react the way he does is a direction for his character that was desperately needed and that paid off spectacularly. And the way it all culminates in the confrontation with the Sandbenders, Aang actually succumbing to his character flaws for a moment, and of course that absolutely beautiful ending. When I think about the episodes that make me love Avatar the way I do, it's the end of this episode that always comes to mind first

You need to understand is that this episode puts into perspective the bond between a bison and a bender, and especially Aang and Appa because frankly they might be the last of their kind, and Appa is the only friend that's always with Aang, think of it as losing something that's so engrained into your life that living without it feels unbearable. Appa is half of Aang and vice versa. The fact is losing Appa drives a pacifist like Aang, someone who wouldn't want to hurt a soul if he could help it, to kill. Someone who's so very much stuck up and feels strongly about the path of the Air nomad, someone who always finds a peaceful solution. He killed, an animal at that. Why the fact he killed an animal is important? Because animal doesn't know good from bad so him killing that buzzard wasp is just him killing an innocent animal.

Heck, she may also have had to see friendly livestock butchered to keep the tribe going. Remember how Iroh diverted the ship in season 1 because he though that he lost is White Lotus tile? Not Pai Sho society, White Lotus. Buzzard bees. FRICK THAT! Sokka's still tripping, and Katara is going to need a chiropractor visit after all this carrying. "AANG KILLING SOMTHING!?" "That's not like him!" Correct. Excluding avatar state, that's the first confirmed kill (even if he may have suffocated soldiers with avalanches and sent others falling to their deaths at the Northern Air Temple.) Airbenders may be pacifistic as a general principle, but as someone from the midwest, Air is not always a gentle element. "I didn't know it belonged to the Avatar" So it would be okay if Appa belonged to a poor family or was a beloved pet for some nobles? Mad props to Katara for the cooldown hug.

I have a pin on my backpack of Sokka doing the Cactus Juice thing.

[@kwams26]

That last shot always makes me cry

[@killercross9929]

They’re BUZZards! Get it?

[@midnightmalice5998]

As someone who enjoys psychedelics, this episode is a trip 👀 I'll see myself out

[@dragonsvideos6737]

I got a cactus you can try

[@MultiDante333]

I'd like to point out that stealing his bison was the closest thing that got Aang to *want* to murder a mf

[@carlosalcantara8a697]

I knew you were going to enjoy the emotional scene, but man that was quite fast xD Good video 👌

[@Alex_the_Copper]

If you need an show that you wont cry on try K-on. It's a slice of life of a group of girls learning instruments to put on a concert for the school festival. It's very cutesy, lots of slapstick humor, easy to follow and the artstyle is pretty nice too. Or if you want something more "Boys being boys" feel with lots of comedy you can try Daily Lives of High School Boys. It's more episodic but the humor is top notch.

[@dragonsvideos6737]

Eeeeekkk I miss that show!

[@slayerchick9196]

You should skip the recaps. They really spoil some stuff.

[@pollyyander]

i AGREE

[@vinny_s]

I also agree

[@worthythaneofross3925]

What? They show previous episodes, that’s like the opposite of spoiling. They allow people to infer what might happen but that’s it.

[@pollyyander]

@@worthythaneofross3925 yeeeaaah but, they start to recall stuff that would be much better as a surprise. it won’t ruin anything of course, but i think skipping it makes the experience more enjoyable

[@jaysotho]

im team toph, gurwl had no sight and she got yelled at for being blind... she couldn't see- Aang's childish behavior showed so much in this episode it really just shows how much he has to grow.

[@treywilliams1388]

Jesus Christ that “Tell me where appa is!!” In avatar state Was fucking terrifying

[@ethanquirk28]

Aang really said “I’m telling Kyoshi”

[@ninjahaz0180]

Damn, had to go do group project work as soon as I saw this posted, well I'm here now.

[@BrandonDuckett]

16:40 Don't worry, it's rough for all of us buddy.

[@zotaninoron3548]

Whelp. Coming up on the song to launch a thousand tears.

[@shadow_pig9034]

Even when he's high, he thinks about her :(

[@terrybennett6801]

IT’S A GIANT MUSHROOM MAYBE IT’S FRIENDLY

[@jjhoops023]

Ahh yes, the first time we hear the Avatar State™ speak, truly terrifying 🤌

[@ninjahaz0180]

I wonder how the cactus juice would affect Toph

[@He11raiser01]

Ayyy, it’s that thing I was hype for!

[@sdmiii1102]

TELL ME WHERE APPA IS!!!!!!!!

[@CyberDalek17]

Honestly, yeah how dare Aang take out his anger on Toph, I get he's angry that his best friend was taken away but Toph is already feeling guilty enough she didn't deserve that. And how could she "come and get them" when the Library was sinking, if anything it was Sokka's fault for pissing off the Owl to cause the building to sink, and for keeping Aang behind to "watch his back" when it wasn't even necessary since Wan Shi Tong was already distracted The sand benders did deserve the Avatar state outburst though

[@dragonsvideos6737]

In sokka defence, he’s a non bender in an angry spirits territory he needs the extra help. Whether it was or wasn’t aang he still needed it

[@Vanlifecrisis]

This episode makes me even sadder that the live action removed almost all of kitara's feminine/nurturing nature in the live action :( All of these kids are motherless and she fills that role for them without thinking. Such a beautiful example of a strong woman, and not just because she is a waterbender.

[@Nickfurry08]

I have a natural curiosity 😌 lol 😆
