The voice of the Cabbage Man discusses how the voice was created in kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKHWeIB7prh_gbs

[@MokiSenpai]

The fact that Zuko was a late addition and it turned out to be one of the most memorable character in... well... animation history is just crazy.

[@ncard00]

In the writing process or the show.

[@Slytherin_Panda]

@@ncard00 yes

[@snxdes9535]

@@ncard00 I guess in terms of writing.

[@mikeg2306]

That happens quite a bit. Fonzie (Henry Winkler) in Happy Days was supposed to be a side character and took over the show. Erkle (Jamaal White) in Family Matters was supposed to be a one day walk-on.

[@Sebastian62608]

And Cabbage Man and Suki were supposed to be one time characters

[@johndaniels5383]

Zuko: reclaim my honor Dante Basco: Bring a net

[@sarahhutabarat9189]

i love how they still remember their lines after all this time😆

[@KokonutOil]

I mean, so do us

[@SamuTheFrog]

Bro, i can only imagine they have watched it a handful of times. It's a masterpiece.

[@rhettmitchell]

They’ve probably rewatched it about as many times as we have 😄

[@raindeerprojekt4119]

Don't you?

[@user-bf2ky3tt9c]

I'm pretty sure they remember because that fans won't let them forget it lol

[@randolphrivo]

The way I IMMEDIATELY started crying at Greg's "I was never angry with you. I was sad because I thought you had lost your way." I'm BAWLING

[@KJSCHM]

I'm glad I wasn't the only one!!

[@tinyrockcrochet]

Same!!!😭😭

[@chriszekableyat9886]

The fact they brought the legendary cabbage guy, made this so memorable.

[@thomaschristopherwhite9043]

Everyone has a crush on Dante. Even Toph in real life had one.

[@keithtorgersen9664]

It's only as an adult that you realize how dark the "kid's" film Hook is, for Dante being a 10 yr old and being murdered on screen by an adult.

[@artchic528]

Dante is just cool, in a bad boy way. How can you not want a bad boy?

[@gobirds4362]

Just realized Zuko is Ruffio lol

[@thegirlwithnoname3187]

Omg yes I really loved him in take the lead and the voice of jake the dragon and the fire prince

[@nicbentulan]

Wow just like Gerald & Phoebe in Hey Arnold ?

[@keithtorgersen9664]

RIP Mako-san. The very best Uncle Iroh. "This tastes like hot leaf juice!" "That's what tea is!" "I can't believe my own nephew!"

[@jibblejoobers]

"no, she's crazy and she needs to go down"

“It is usually best to admit mistakes when they occur, and to seek to restore honour!”

[@chilolascuna3677]

i teared up when greg baldwin said iroh"s line

[@mirkhodievblog7578]

I loved it too 😍

[@yew2oob954]

Tears from our eyes, Come rolling down, Like little drops of rain, When we hear the sound, Avatar fans, have nothing to defend Against Uncle Iroh's, ability to tearbend.

[@coolguyhino92]

The respect for Mako runs sooOOOO much deeper than just Iroh in AtLA. The man will quite literally never be forgotten.

[@Jay-xx1dx]

Wow, Dante, even aged, still has that teenage raspy voice of Zuko. If I don't look at the video, I would imagine Zuko still.

[@SamuTheFrog]

I have an unhealthy obsession with Grey 🤣🤣🤣 no one could ever replace her voice for that character. She like the Mark Hamill of Azula. & also, Iroh 2's humble nature on the subject strikes me on many levels. This show has such a wholesome cast.

[@rhettmitchell]

Was that Ozai/Mark Hamill reference intentional lol

[@SamuTheFrog]

@rhettmitchell I mean he did do that voice too, but I was more referencing how irreplaceable he was as the joker

[@keithtorgersen9664]

She's also awesome as Asajj Ventress.

[@SamuTheFrog]

@keithtorgersen9664 Shit, man, her list of roles is MASSIVE, she popped up everywhere. Though there is just certain characters that couldn't have been done by anyone else I don't think.

[@Jonathan-Anderson]

Season 1, Ep. 19 response for 5:10 Uncle Iroh: If you're fishing for an octopus, my nephew, you need a tightly woven net, or he would squeeze through the tiniest hole and escape: Zuko: I dont need your wisdom right now, Uncle

[@cailin5301]

[@francisduarte8120]

10:09 we don’t blame you sis. Some of us had a crush on Zuko AND Dante 😂😭.

[@chriszekableyat9886]

RUFIO! RUFIO! RUFIO! RUFIO! RUFIO!

[@izzfp9802]

"That's rough, buddy" should be the one.

[@chloe.2189]

While I LOVE Zuko as much as everyone else does, Aang was a fantastic character too, and it makes me sad when people don't acknowledge that

[@rvldz1931]

Seem's to me like they forget.. the shows name is Avatar the Last Air Bender NOT zukos redemption arc.

[@tlesser-aase7394]

They were just saying that it wouldn't be the same show without Zuko as a character and his arc it wouldn't have been the same. Aang was the pivotal, touchstone character and watching his growth and triumph was fantastic. But unlike most other shows, the secondary characters play just as important of a role in the story and that's what made AtLA so special.

[@punkinghost]

Wow, I did not realize he sounded exactly like Zuko and didn't change his voice, like... At all 😂

[@iamdonalee]

Absolutely Agree🥰Dante Basco's voice is unique☺️😊❤️Didn't change at all and he's already nearly 50.

[@ginolibang6069]

I first saw him in Hook way before Avatar aired, but as soon as I heard Zuko, I knew it was him. His voice is very distinctive.

[@seanhopkins1402]

I want the original voice actors still voice the upcoming sequel of the GAANG animated movie when they're all grown up... It will be perfect

[@giuliapicchiotti]

Yes !!!!

[@smalllhank]

They're not, zuko is coming back tho

[@nica_9936]

"they all had a net" killed me 😭

[@akasuna91]

I wish Jessie’s favourite line at the end there would’ve been “I’m not toph, I’m melon lord! Muahahahaha”

[@MrAppbee]

She literally sounds nothing like toph anymore, yet azulas voice actor still sounds like azula

[@OpposingPony]

I wish Dante's had been "That's rough, buddy."

[@sridevimk]

17:05 Iroh was the best teacher 🫶🏻 wonderful life lessons!

[@DOTHShorts]

Wow, this was almost a year ago! I loved the energy Mae brought! I didn’t expect her to be so talkative. I got to meet Aang, Zach Tyler Eisen, at another Con last May. Hopefully he can swing by Sac, soon! Really great guy

[@samuelhardy1578]

I still can’t get over how cute Toph’s voice actor is

[@marinapercastegui1926]

20:20 i can relate. i was a freshman in high school and my brother was 20 or 21 but id get home from school and he'd get home from work and i remember getting together and being so excited to watch Avatar together. something i know i will always remember and cherish

[@iamdonalee]

Dante Basco's voice still hasn't changed, his voice is really amazing and super unique..I miss it so much😌🥰❤

[@troymack8205]

THANK YOU!!!! as a adult fan now, I was 14 when this aired, This was a treat to go with my morning coffee!!! Had me smiling the whole way through!!!! I may just replay it to another cup in memory of Mako. He was universally EVERYONE'S UNCLE!!

[@mintsugas]

The whole cast is so funny esp Dante 😂

[@Aangrox007]

I know I'm late to this party but in one of the earlier seasons...I think... or Dragon Prince - there's an episode that you can literally see Aang's staff in the pile of "trinkets" this dragon obtained. hahaha. I just about died. I'm LOVING finding Avatar: TLA references in it, and I hope they keep doing it!

[@AfroditeBell]

You love AtLA references…have you played act 3 of Bauldur’s Gate 3?

[@alorachan]

I was loving the whole thing and then RIGHT AT THE END with the tearbending! Dammit, Greg. Iroh never fails to bring out the feels

[@onepunchman4481]

the legend of Korra and the live action can never be close to how much the original animated series impacted our lives.

Facts

[@KovierKow]

Kataras Laugh is so funny

[@agenda3854]

I like how they talked about the show without Zuko, and it made me realize. If he weren’t there the show would’ve ended with Zhao delivering Aang to Ozai

[@DOTHShorts]

Originally they wanted Ozai was the show's main antagonist, but the writers realized he would not be able to cause Aang and his friends trouble sitting from his throne. Zuko was then written into the show but became a major character arc.

When Iroh's voice actor talked about finding the light out of the darkness, (or something like that), was he making a salvation testimony, or talking about coming out of depression. Did he have deep depression?
