which comic would you like to see a recap of next?

[@mixmastermike1021]

Any at all! Loved seeing how much work you guys put into this, can't wait for the next one!

[@pixell3345]

I wanna do it in order. "The Rift".

[@waterbender4610]

I actually really enjoyed Imbalance, but it would also be cool to do it in order like another person said! I really enjoy this channel, keep it up guys (I'm starting to realize I say the phrase "really enjoy" a lot XD)

Pretty Please!!!✋🙏🙏🙏 I love how Zukos hair here is more styled. He looks more hotter yet refined 😋😊

[@Funtimefussysquidss]

Yes✋

[@Noah_ol11]

Azula deserved her comics and then we would see what really happened to her

[@luanagomesgoncalves7985]

In Book 3 we loved comparing Azula as a creepy Fire Nation princess with a cut hair and became so evil to not get near Zuko across the Fire Nation patio to find their mother who is left missing and many years of traveling to Ember Island she changed her own name to Noriko, so where's Ursa?

[@canceldone2271]

Nope.. Waste of time

[@vullord666]

She could still get them, but she definitely deserves them. Zuko’s character development ended in thw finale, but Azula’s really just started when she finally broke under the pressure. We were just starting to see who she was. Also I want more of Kiyi being the little sister Zuko always deserved

[@die.perserin]

You‘re right maybe we will get more information from her on avatar studios

[@die.perserin]

@Sebastián Baeza he means after smoke and shadow

[@DokiDolls]

It's so sad that Azula never heard Ursa say "I love you", like a real I love you, I hope she would get a redemption arc

[@beccajones1128]

I hope so, too. I'm pretty sure that Azula will get a redemption arc because I read someone commented the creators said that Azula would be constantly apologetic if she was redeemed, meaning that they've thought about it.

[@TheCyancheese]

I thought the end of the comics was, well, the end though? Or are they creating new stuff other than the live show?

[@beccajones1128]

@@TheCyancheese No, they're working on creating more content. It's just not given an official release date yet cause it's still being worked on from my understanding, as the Avatar the Last Airbender creators are working on multiple projects in the newly formed studio& are currently recruiting staff for the upcoming projects, such as designers to create outfits for the characters, ect.

Love how Zuko's mom got 3 comics and Lin's dad got one random line and Suyin's father didn't get anything at all lol

[@jijitsudayon]

suyins father is sokka so-

[@qiralyncassette]

That's not a confirmed, just a fan theory. I headcanon that Sokka had no children as well in an interview the creators state that not everyone in team avatar marries or has kids. Zuko, Katara, Aang, Toph have kids leaving Sokka and Suki being the ones they are talking about.

[@kamikazesenpai21]

I'd say The Duke is a notable character

[@sudiishu2752]

@@jijitsudayon I personally don't think that suyin could be sokka child as he really wanted to prove himself to his dad and then not father suyin. That just seems wrong. Also I'm not against tokka. This situation could be patched and everything would be okay.

[@marzipantart]

Because their dads are completely unimportant.

[@kessaelivique-sookwa]

I wish that they would continue the series based on the comic book. I love this show!! I keep rewatching the episodes on Netflix 😂😂

[@sudiishu2752]

A man of culture 👏

[@andiehernandez1995]

So Zuko has another sister and a stepdad? Hopefully he will have the loving family he always wanted.

[@lylysu1]

actually zuko stepdad is the fire lord and his real one is inko

[@nintendostyle3500]

@@lylysu1no his real dad is ozai. The letter that claimed Zuko to be the child of Ikem or whatever was a trick to see if Ozai was reading the letters meant for Ikem (which he was)

The comics of ATLA : -The Promisse : ✅ -The Search : ✅ -The Rift : wating -Smoke and Shadow : wating -North and South : wating -Imbalance : wating

[@DetinuTrackmania]

you could just buy them and have them now, if a lot of money is paid to the franchise they will have more motivation to keep putting out new stuff.

[@watertribe710]

Did you ever update your list?

[@arnaroy8764]

I great recap but I was sad not to see the scene between Azula and Ursa where she says that she is sorry for not loving Azula enough. It was a heartbreaking scene

[@alexties6933]

i would love if the panels shown were also narrated, but besides that, i really like this format you really did a great job

[@_Observer_961]

Agreed

[@MadRetroGuy85]

Everyone believed and still does that zuko’s mom is dead which in the show clearly said she was still alive just missing but now this explains what exactly happened

[@caomhan84]

It's been years since I've read this comic. I don't remember the panel at 3:40 with Katara sleeping snuggled up to Appa and Momo. That is absolutely adorable. ♥️

[@mixmastermike1021]

This was awesome, love how much work went into this! Doesn't matter to me which one you guys do next, I'm just excited for it

[@rutherford5247]

So that is the mother of faces. Im amazed that she is very gentle and compassionate. Unlike her son Koh. At netflix live action I was kinda confused who the mother of faces was because its unfamiliar to me 😅

[@bobbiemanueldelapena4997]

I imagine while there's a meeting of top officials in the Fire Nation, Ursa suddenly barges in and digs up Zuko's awkward moments in his childhood... XD

[@awesomeperson5150]

I’ve already read the comics, but they are truly beautiful, and this recap is incredible

[@youreadthisinyourmindright2604]

It's sweet that Zuko give a chance for Iroh to replace him as an interim firelord while he's gone, A throne that should've been his instead of Ozai. And of course Iroh ruled fire nation the right way, by declaring national tea appreciation day and giving everyone tea😂

[@SlovenCathrin]

Thanku for uploading this and special effects!

[@angusmacgyver2306]

I think it’s sad that Ursa loved Zuko more than Azula. I know she’s unstable and dangerous, but I really like her, and she has no one on her side, not even her friends who betrayed her

[@DngrDan]

Zuko was a sweet, innocent child and Azula was evil since birth. Not surprising.

[@littlecloud3125]

I think you've got that kind of backwards - Azula isn't innocent and her friends "betrayed" her not because they were disloyal to her / rather Azula was toxic to them. First, Azula manipulated Ty Lee to join her. While Mai was happy to leave her family, she became upset with how Azula treated Zuko when they were all in the Fire Nation. Ursa (or rather Azula's hallucinations of her) said it best: Azula uses fear to control people. Is it any wonder she alienates those around her?

[@asepkasudin7817]

She just had a mental illness i guess, looks a like her father genetic trait.

[@mirza2975]

@@littlecloud3125idk claiming that your own daughter was always evil and used fear to control people seems birth seems like an easy way to shirk responsibility. Even if ozai obviously favored azula more, its a shame that her mother never thought she was worth nurturing

[@mirza2975]

@@DngrDan if ur own child shows sadistic tendencies as a....CHILD... is it not the parent's responsibility to teach them better? Letting ozai have singular influence over her was just bad parenting, no matter how u look at it.

[@Orurandokun]

a mother that choose to forget her kids in order to have a life with a man. Azula deserved her revange.

[@remo27]

There were other reasons if I recall from reading this years and years ago. This recap didn't cover everything. If I recall Ozai was still hunting for her former lover. And he might have eventually changed his mind about 'sparing' her as well. She was a 'loose end' after all. Thus, they pretty much had to go incognito and it helps to hide if you can not only get a new face but new memories and a new life as well. So this isn't quite as selfish as you make it seem, esp given that Ursula had no realistic prospect to 'rescue' her kids.

[@Orurandokun]

@@remo27 you are right. But if I have to play the role of the devil's lawyer. She could get a new face, and try to look for her children from afar. There was no need for her memories. And if the spirit didn't wanted to do it that way. She could have go to the earth kingdom, to Ba Sing Se, and be a refugee with her kids memories. I don't think that people will recognise her in the lower ring.
