ZUKO & AZULA RUIN THE DAY! Avatar: The Last Airbender S3E5 REACTION! EPISODE 5! THE BEACH

[@justsomeguywholovesberserk6375]

This has to be one of the few times we actually get to see Azula just chill and relax and by that I mean showing how much war,propaganda,and brainwashing she has experienced by the Fire Nation just as she was about to experience Human emotions and simple things in life she fell into her old habits

[@shirareinhold7578]

“The only way they know is chaos” is such a tribble statement after this episode! This episode show us the main antagonists have feelings and sympathy towards others… Which is incredible and so interesting!

[@matityaloran9157]

Though it’s not exactly wrong or inaccurate. It’s definitely sad that that the only way that they know is chaos. In a sense it’s what (spoilers for Tim should he read this) Zuko was saying less eloquently when he commented “why am I so bad at being good”.

[@benschultz1784]

This episode shows us how child are traumatized by their experiences. All 4 Fire Nation teens have some sort of emotional trauma and del with it in unhealthy ways. Ty Lee ran away and joined the circus, Mai puts up a front so no one can get close to her, Zuko has outbursts of anger, and Azula suppresses her emotions and acts like she isn't traumatized.

In "The Awakening," when they're talking to the Fire Nation ship trying to stay undercover, we hear of an Admiral Chan who's "been on leave at Ember Island for two months" Then in this episode we meet a teenager named Chan on Ember Island who says "My dad's an admiral." The amount of detail in this show I can't

[@alfiro-morgif3908]

From all the stories in the beach, Mai's was the one that got me. Mainly because as well as Toph's parents they were so controlling about their daughter. Mai can be serious, but she isn't apathetic and does care for her friends

[@SpacialRend7]

It’s kinda rare to see episodes in shows that focus mainly on the antagonists and this one was really interesting to me. Spending time with Zuko and Co. on an average day and getting some background knowledge on their lives was pretty cool. Overall, “The Beach” is a good episode imo.

[@sephence]

this episode is really just disguised as a fun beach episode but its easily 1 of the best at analyzing the characters and giving a look at what makes them tick like Zuko's struggle building up and Azula's nonexistant social skills from being raised by and as a monster all while still only being a teenager really puts her writing into perspective and makes her an actually tragic character

[@Pigwidgion2]

Everytime I see this episode, and Azula says she doesn't really care, I am reminded of the thing Zuko says in Zuko Alone: Azula always lies.

[@matityaloran9157]

9:44, quite a lot actually. He was both emotionally and physically scarred by his father. He grew up in fear of his father disappearing him the way he disappeared his mother. He was forced to suffer punishment and humiliation for daring show compassion. And spent almost three years straight as an object of scorn and mockery regarded as a pathetic failure. The result is that he often feels that the universe is actively conspiring to make him suffer “you’ve never held back before” and his first response to virtually anything not going as planned is to assume the worst. He also has a terrible temper. To be fair to him, pretty much none of that is actually his fault. That said, in this episode it actually is.

[@matityaloran9157]

14:41, that was a really good point.

[@fantasyaj6510]

One of my favorite episodes. You could really see how Azula has no clue how to be a normal teenager because Ozai raised her to be the perfect child soldier. It's sad in a way because she's an amazingly powerful warrior, but everything else is a struggle.

People who say Avatar isn't an anime what about the epiditmous beach episode you find in nearly every anime. All joking aside there is some character development here in this episode and I think this was where Ty Lee became a fan favorite for some ahem obvious reasons.

[@matveynoname7083]

In this episode, another trait of Azula is shown: chuckling at the injuries of others, but at the same time reducing her own to a trifle. Perhaps Ty Lee, before this episode, seemed too simple and empty a character for some.

Are you saying mental trials are the same as injuries...? Ok please explain how minor mental trials are worse then being skinned alive??

[@videohistory722]

Katie Mattila was chosen to write this episode because of her prior experience with portraying Zuko's "angsty teen" personality while in romantic situations, as she had done in "The Tale of Zuko".

[@tiago9977]

Combustionbending is *so* cool. I love how precise and unique it is (compared to most Firebending). It also reminds me a lot of Piper from Charmed which I love lol. I feel like it should probably be something that skilled Airbenders could do too.

[@jayjaybulldog9180]

This was one of my favorites as a little kid, I once said that Azula was trying to see how she would fit in by actually trying to bond with other teens if she wasn’t that deadly and serious as the daughter of fire lord ozai, but I’ve given her Mai and ty lee credit even though it’s still hilarious 😂

[@D123-f9k]

When military punctuality makes you look like a freak to civilians... I can't do a bicycle kick or firebend, but I play volleyball like Azula. I've usually played against at least a few more experienced or more athletic players, so I look for who is out of sync and likely get in each other's way and drop the ball in between them from high up.

[@matityaloran9157]

7:58, note this is the first time in the show that Azula ever felt (or at least expressed) any remorse for anything at all.

Imo, this episode is where the show reaches its highest peak. The first four episodes of this season were slower, more filler-like, but pretty much episode from here on out is absolute heat. The campfire scene at the end of this episode is, I think, one of the better emotional moments in the series

Azula knows the trauma Zuko has been through because she's been through the same. she's not aware of it but she's being abused by his father just like Zuko, only not physical. I suggest after everything, you react to the videos by Hello Future Me, "The Psychology of Azula" and "The Psychology of Zuko"

[@matveynoname7083]

It seems to me that a dude with a third eye is a local analogue of Shan Yu or Vision.

[@TheApollonian]

What that third-eyed dude is doing is called combustion bending. It is another, 🔥 sub-bending form of fire bending and is super rare only, belonging 2 people, Combustion Man in ATLA and P'Li in TLOK. The eye, surrounded by tattoos, is located on the forehead chakra and deals with insight but is blocked by illusion. It comes from the breath of the user and allows the bender to ignite and blow up things precisely yet effectively. It is a great weapon and is capable of being used in defence and offence. It can also disintegrate objects, almost always instantaneously evaporate water, light things up with ease, be used in long range combat and can (P'Li only) curve around corners. Combustion benders concentrate their energy into the forehead chakra and project a ray that detonates when coming into contact with anything. Despite being a powerful sub-bending form, it has a glaring weakness and can be as hazardous to the user as it can to their surroundings. It can be blocked when something hits the tattooed third-eye. It blocks the flow of chi and energy, whether temporarily or permanently, causing the bender to temporarily not be able to bend or back fire and blow up in their face.

[@darthdracul8372]

Best vacation ever!

[@villeandersson1487]

I actually have an interesting theory that is most definitely not canon, but I think the reason Ty Lee is so… flirty is because she wants to hide that she's a lesbian. In the Fire Nation during Sozin, Azulon, and Ozai's reign, same-sex relationships were declared illegal, and anyone caught would be severely punished. She and Mai both know the consequences if they're caught, so they pretend to like boys to avoid punishment. It's a real life phenomenon called compulsory heterosexuality, and it's kind of depressing, really. Mai only dates Zuko because her family wanted her to, but there was never any passion behind any of those kisses between her and Zuko. They're both closeted lesbians trying to survive until something changes. Of course, we all know that Zuko joins the Gaang and he becomes a better person, is crowned the new Firelord, and repeals the law against same-sex marriage. But Mai and Ty Lee don't know that's gonna happen. For all they know, they will have to hide their sexualities for the rest of their lives. I know that contradicts the ending where Mai and Zuko get back together and Ty Lee joins the Kyoshi warriors, but hey, this is just a theory. A *film* theory! Thanks for reading!

4:41. Timothee: "I don't know if they should be together!" Ty Lee: "You're absolutely goshdamn right, Mai has way better chemistry with me than Zuko! The only reason she's even dating Zuko in the first place is because the Fire Nation has strictly outlawed same-sex relationships… and because the Nickelodeon censors won't allow it! I bet she actually wants to be with me but is afraid of what will happen to her if Azula finds out about her dating me! She'd probably report our butts "straight" to the Fire Lord!" Get it? Straight? Because we're not straight… I'll show myself out."

[@villeandersson1487]

16:14. Azula really burned this poor guy's house to the ground just because he rejected her on the grounds of her being mentally unstable! He was smart in rejecting her, she would probably have him trapped in a very abusive realtionship of endless screaming and demeaning comments!
