Oh snap, we are working our way to the mid-episode

Avatar did trans support before it became trendy.

I think The Desert is one of the darkest ATLA episodes. It's so hopeless, the group is falling apart, and Aang is not himself. We see him kill for the first time, and it's not out of self-defense or anything, he hunts down a hornet that was already fleeing and strikes it down. This is a 12-year-old monk who was taught all life is sacred. It gets bleak

Agree that the reveal of Toph's crush on Sokka is such a great moment that's catches the viewer by surprise and really adds another layer of depth to Toph. It does make sense though that Toph could develop a crush on Sokka: they spend a lot of time together because they are traveling companions, he's older and sort of the leader of the group, he's the most significant masculine influence in Toph's life at the moment, she can trust and depend on him, she knows that she can take friendly jabs at him without risk of him abandoning her or taking it too seriously. Sokka being older, often being the de facto leader, and his higher degree of masculine traits compared to Aang are what differentiate him from Aang.

I love how each element has a different mentality for it's fighting style. Earth is, elementally, Aang's opposite. This was Katara's theory as to why Aang couldn't get Earth bending as quickly as the other elements. There is also the change in mentality that Aang has to grasp as well. Attacking and taking things head on is so opposite from how he approaches things up to that point. This is probably my favorite part of the lore.

The cactus juice definitely made him high lol

20:33 she’s bae

Aang’s defense mechanism went off when katara got attacked and when he found out appa was muzzled. If that doesn’t tell you he loves them more than anything then I don’t know what will

Stealing and murdering innocent people are two totally different things

Loving the reactions! Keep them coming! :)

such good charakter-episodes for everyone.

Did the 'rough rhinos' sound familiar? Cast your mind back to Avatar Day 😉. To further emphasize on how far Aang had lost himself in emotions, he could've stopped chasing the hornet as soon as Momo was freed. But instead Aang persisted and took down the creature purely out of anger for it touching its friend. Where's our peaceful little monk gone? Even Momo kinda fears Aang at that moment, following him at a distance with the tail between the legs.

intersting fact, that guy and his pregnant wife was the couple zuko was about to rob in Zuko Alone.

Dude, you gotta let some scenes play out before making assumptions about new characters, otherwise you change your mind 3 times before the scene is over. Iroh had the same playful demeanor but not the same attitude before his son's death. He was joking about burning a major city to the ground. It's not the same Iroh at present time.

People generally have normal lifespans in Avatar. Except for a select few Earth benders. This is explained in the Kyoshi novels, but was a retcon. During the show they accidentally made Kyoshi WAY too old, so when they made the novels about her they invented an earthbending technique to slow aging, which also happens to line up with Bumi's extreme age.

Bending always gives an advantage in a fight the same way any other weapon or defensive tool does. Does it automatically mean youll win if you have a knife and the other person is unarmed? Not necessarily, sometimes the other person can still get the upperhand, especially if they are very skilled.

A "root" in martial arts is your stance, "break his root" essentially meaning to break his stance to get him off balance.

New channel?

37:21 That's actually a real thing in nature! Look up Jesus Christ Lizard

2 things i like to bring up in this episode before seeing your reaction. 1: because of spirit monster from the last episode, the writers had to come up with a way for aang to not just go to the fire nation and just turn into some giant monster. the general is basically the voice of the fans saying the show could end now if aang just goes for it. so the avatar state has great power but one really bad weakness. 2: when zuko and iroh go to azula's ship, iroh is wearing his armor to be prepared for a fight. its little things like that i really like and not many people bring that up.

You hit the nail on the head with what Zuko's mom did to protect her son. If you want to find out what happened to her in detail, there are cannon comics on TH-cam since there's only 3 seasons of the show so they answer questions that may not have been answered in the show.

Hi @RichRevival, i'm VERY late, but there is a theory that Gyatso killed all the firebenders by sucking the air out of the room, killing himself in the process ofc !! .

His mom said never forget who you are someone who even after failing he tries n tries again .. zuko didnt understand thats what she meant

Azulon (Zuko grandfather) ordered Ozai to kill Zuko so that he would know the pain Iroh was feeling for loosing his son. Iroh was still the heir. Then something happened that I wont spoiler. That resulted in Azulon dying, and supposedly passong the throne to Ozai. That same night Zuko's mother disapeared, and Zuko never knew what happened to her.

awesome reaction👍

I feel like ive seen u before in a different reaction channel...

I know that she show tried to make Aang and the rest of the Gaang being more tired that everyone but if we think about it, Azula, Mai and Ty Lee were ready on their mounts since they stopped the engine, so they didn't slept either. And Zuko was riding his mount, so he didn't slept. Iroh was tracking him and managed to be in the same area, so he didn't slept. Appa is a bit faster because he can fly above the natural obstacles instead of follwing the roads, so if the others are here, nobody slept. That's just logic.

19:33 "but his mom said, never forget who you are" - but that's not what she meant, Zuko misunderstood. Remember, after Zuko failed at his performance for firelord Azulon, his mother said to him: "I loved watching you. *That's who you are, Zuko, someone who keeps fighting even though it's hard.* 37:21 there are actually lizards that can run over water like that, that's why they're called Jesus Lizards or Jesus Christ Lizards (google it!) 🙂

Ursa was banished.

Basically the story of the Turtle duck protecting their kids no matter is reflected with what the mom did.

6:09 No? I mean that was obviously a manipulation

It’s not crossbreeding, basic animals simply don’t exist in this universe aside from a few exceptions, they are always hybrids

2-8 is easily my favorite one off episode in the whole show. There is just something about "the chase" that makes it so insanely good to me.

16:11 LMAO imagine being sentenced to death by dying in your sleep lol

34:07 Actually, that's a common misconception. Your other senses don't get heightened, you just rely on and pay attention to them more.

I think it was less him hating women and more the northern tribe being carried away with the necessity for healers. If the women go to war and die then the tribe does too, so they keep them back home and put their abilities to use with healing the men that survive from the war. I think that the "we need healers" sentiment got lost along the way some where and that turned into "women are ONLY healers" instead of "we need healers and cant afford to lose women"

The Beifong's are an ultra rich business family. The have many standards and appearances to uphold to maintain their standings among their ritzy crowd. Also, since these are troubled times, being that rich can make you a target for thieves and, as we saw in this episode, kidnap and randsom. Doublely so if anyone outside their circle discovered Toph's blind and "seemingly" an easy target. Obviously she's more than capable but unfortunately it seems Toph's parents sequestered her to protect themselves too😔

Chin is based on Qin Shi Huang, the first Emperor of China who is often portrayed as a tyrant. In English, he is often referred to as "Emperor Chin" and is the namesake for the word "China". Regarding Zuko stealing, he didn't steal for the sake of his uncle. He was stealing because as he stated in the previous episode, "This is humiliating! We're royalty. These people should be giving us whatever we want". He feels entitled so is taking what he believes he rightfully deserves. Regarding Zuko leaving, he didn't leave for his uncle's sake either. Zuko wasn't ready to face the reality of his situation that capturing the Avatar won't get him back "everything he lost" and back into the good graces of his father. His leaving is a form of avoidance: if he separates from his uncle, he won't have to listen to the truths that are still painful for him to face.

Do they not have police to get Aang? Crimes just go unpunished....?

14:22 NO. Kyoshi is canonically 7 feet tall. Chin the Conqueror was average male height. I know that doesn't make sense with the joke the seemed to be telling but it's 100% the truth. Kyoshi was actually a 7 foot tall woman.

Yeah Toph basically has "seismic sense" which they animate when it goes gray and the rings of light ripple out from where someone is stepping or landing.

Wow Rich, you're back :o
