I think the big thing this episode makes clear that doesn’t really *feel* clear until much later (if that makes sense) is that Azula is by far the worst threat that the team ever faces in this show. She’s like a hot knife cutting through any sense of safety.

Even all those years later, the way Zuko screams "LEAVE!" is still so Heartbreaking. Then their's the detail that Toph could feel through the ground that Iroh's heart wasn't beating. The look on her face, too.
@nathanielreik66177 ай бұрын
Except his heart was beating. There's nothing to imply his heart actually stopped. He still lets out a few groans.
@kuzwayoandile0028 күн бұрын
I was thinking that Toph's reaction was due to the fact that she recognised that heartbeat and body type

2:06 i mean toph has been hidden away from the whole world by her father(remember the boys katara beat up said the beyfong family don't have a daughter) This is probably the first group of people around her own age she has ever hung out with. Some social unawareness is justified.

Oh totally especially since katara grew up in basically the opposite situation. A very small but closely knit together community that only survived after tragedy by working together. It’s no surprise that they clashed with each other

3:49 - 3:52 This makes me wish we saw Amity more like that, besides that one moment when she made her first appearance. Zamber: Hey Azula, we missed you. Me: I didn't. 9:58 - 10:00 😂😂😂. This is just the beginning, girl.
@donovan8027 ай бұрын
I know it’s been said multiple times that Mae Whitman’s voice and the often usage of abominations somewhat akin to water bending make Amity a lot like Katara in those aspects, but now I’m just imagining an edited version of TOH clips, Amity but with Katara VO. (maybe someone did that already)
@gremmythoumeaux23937 ай бұрын
I imagine there might be some people who claim that Katara’s comment about the stars to Toph is her not necessarily attacking her blindness but rather not remembering that Toph is blind and is more about her being in a tent. I however, do NOT think this is the case. Katara was clearly trying to get a rise out of Toph here and being under an earth tent would be no issue for a master earthbender like Toph to remove the roof off of or simply go outside to look at the stars. Friends sometimes say harsh things in the heat of an argument.

never saw someone say that, thats funny in a way, its the "my fav character would never do this" type of people, right? in Brazil we call that "passar pano", when you try to justify or minimize the actions of someone or some character. If someone ever say that, its the most passa pano i ever heard about Katara 😅
@iridescent287 ай бұрын
As a kid I never thought about it being about her blindness, I just thought she said it cuz she was in a tent 😂 So I can believe Katara forgetting she's blind in the heat of the moment cuz I did too (plus it's a running gag for them to forget she's blind 🤣)
@Sly_Dragneel7 ай бұрын
As someone who also forgot she was blind the first time I watched the episode I give Katara the benefit of the doubt, but I also believe she said remembering full well that Toph was blind

@@LauraVivianYeah I understand that Katara is taking somewhat of a mother role in the group but she’s not perfect and sometimes lets her emotions get the best of her. She’s only 14 and teenagers tend to be far from perfect. This also isn’t the first nor the last time she’ll say something hurtful to someone close to her.
@LauraVivian7 ай бұрын
@@royalreptile923 yes, and i love that! These flaws and nuances are what makes a character believable, it enables them to grow eventually, specially for a child character that has a lot to learn yet. Thats why i don't care at all about simulation Katara from the live action, she has no personality, which is very sad for such a complete character like Katara.

When i was a kid, one of the things i most wished i could do was to have a tea time with uncle Iroh, just sit down with him and have tea, listen to whatever he has to say, i would take it for life, and i was 6 years old. Actually, i still want that, i would kill for that, and i never even liked tea.

If you look closely at the group attack on Azula at the end, even Sokka joined in by throwing his boomerang at her. Since you see all the elements going in at once that draws your focus, but if you look you can see it flying in.

The main reason why all the blind jokes in this series work is because Toph is such a capable and independent character that even her friends forget she can't see. I'm pretty sure this is the only case that could be seen as genuinely malicious. Every other one is just gut-wrenching. 😆

Wildly underrated episode!!! We have a series of episodes where one character’s choices matter the most. This is technically a break in the set. But it could also be seen as Azula’s chance to make choices. Lots of good character work. Prolonged stress can really tell who someone is. I like how our gan of heroes are too tired to think clearly and how that affects the group. When people making lists this is usually not in top ten but it is for me.
