Aang: Guess I should leave now..
Lady: that would be best
Suraj:....fuck you....
LOL
Lady: Oh no you didn't
I understand why Aang would hide the information. He's already lost one family and he was afraid to lose another. I like how they handled it for one big reason. Aang didn't get caught with the map, he felt guilty for what he did and told the truth. He even accepted their decision to leave him which was the thing he was afraid of in the first place.
Character growth. It's a beautiful thing isn't it?
People still give him shit over this lmao
@@drfifteenmd7561 ikr and he's literally a kid
@@nicname3147 it’s weird growth cause this is the only time he does this
@@wild_toxicaids3549 Strong emotions leave lasting memories. He never does it again because of what he learned here.
I love how realistic this episode is, like, he's some powerful, amazing individual but at the same time he's a 12 year old kid, of course he'd behave how he did
PrismAnime Well he was raised by monks. I don’t think anyone taught him to lie
FirmBooty well i mean i dont think that matters when your entire nation was wiped out and you start fearing your current only family might ditch you
FirmBooty No one taught him to run away too...
But he is a 12 year old kid.
you can feel the reality from ATLA. Most of the cast is young and you see them make some mistakes on the way and learn from them. Pain is the real teacher they say, so the mistakes.
I think it's interesting Chris didn't like Aang's sudden shift in character which is true because he's usually very mature and considerate despite his playfulness. I watched Nostalgic Critic's review of this episode and he thought Aang was out of character too even though I think the writers wanted to show Aang's insecurities as someone who literally has no one other than Sokka and Katara. The possibility that his only friends would rather reunite and remain with their father rather than continue their quest with him isn't an unreasonable fear for a 12 year old kid even if he was raised by monks. This is the same kid that ran away from his monastery upon hearing he was to be sent off to spend the rest of his life training in preparation for war.
I agree somewhat with both sides of this argument. I agree with those who liked the conflict in this episode in that Aang is young and he is human, so he will make mistakes and do things that make him unlikable sometimes. So I don't think it was a mistake to depict Aang betraying his only 2 friends, but I agree with this episode's critics that the way this was depicted was somewhat rushed and clumsily done.
Anng has to be mature quickly because of his role/position as the Avatar and the urgency of the situation calls for it. This is just my opinion though and I know I’m late to these videos no one is really gonna respond. 👍
I thought the actions were completely in character for Aang. He's hurting and lonely. He's also twelve and twelve-year-olds aren't good decision-makers. Also, the fact that his friends have a home. If this war gets too much for them, they can go home. They'd be relatively safe. He doesn't have a home. He doesn't have that choice. He's the Avatar. He's supposed to always be an adult when he's not even a teenager yet. From the way he acted, I think he's grasping for some semblance of normal and trying to keep it that way. And since the Air Nomads don't appear to have the same structure of and importance of family as the Water Tribe, it wouldn't carry the same weight to him. Just my opinion and I haven't seen this episode in a while, but I remember thinking how it was as in character and understandable as it was a stupid decision.
It’s written perfectly in my opinion. It’s supposed to give you that same cringey feeling when you look back to something stupid you did as a 12 year old. Atleast that’s how i interpreted it
Perfectly said
"I'm with Sokka man, that's some bullshit"
"You're the Sokka of the group"
"I don't wanna be"
Don't deny who your are man :)
YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!!!! even Sokka doesn't wanna be the Sokka of the group.
In terms of choreography, this episode had one of the best fights in the series, the footwork is incredible. Iroh is hilarious too, plus Fighting Appa's an epic Appa
yeah, that's what i think
Nahid 1x1: "I'm not Sokka!"
Nahid 1x15: "Sokka - that's my boy!"
Kinda like a dad with a dog that he didn't wanted lmao
Character development
Actually Aang is more to be in his character than they disputed. remember how he ran away when his only friend, monk Gyatso will be separated from him, he tends to become impulsive when the issue is him being left alone by the persons he treasures the most. You might say that "hey, he should be a peaceful child" then he will be so bland as characters if the same thing will be said in his character. sometimes peaceful and kind person can also be emotional at their greatest insecurities, which is aang losing his another family he found after losing the most important person in him.
Also, I wonder if the way the Air Nomads and the Water Tribes function is also supposed to be shown off. It is all over the episode from the animal skins, the food, but also in the values.
In the Water Tribe the emphasis is on the tribe/community and for your family, while in the Air Nomads it is on freeing yourself from earthly ties and spirituality. A thing that is important in these differences is that Air Nomads don't seem to have traditional family units, Monk Gyatso isn't Aang's father, the monks raise the children collectively not parental units. The water tribe and us share the cultural shortcut of since it is about their father it might have "more importance" than their bond with Aang (which Aang understands and fears) and that also since it is about their father Aang hiding this information is a worse infraction than if he lied about something else important (which I'm not sure is something Aang completely gets). From the outside it looks like Aang trying to keep them for himself is worse because it is a platonic tie over a familial one, but to Aang it is two ties that for him carry equal weight.
I'm not sure if I explained this well, this is from a conversation I had regarding this episode and so I might not have explained it as well while trying to sum it up in a short format. I'm also not saying Aang was in the right, he wasn't, he was being a reactive 12 year old with trauma. I just also think there was a cultural thing going on here too.
@@SilverGallowglass This makes perfect sense to me. I had thought something similar before, but not to that extent. It does give greater depth to the conflict that sparks between him and Sokka once the lemur's out of the bag
I like the reactions with the four regulars better. It's fun to hear them speculate .
cozy 4
Aang: you've got some thing I want.
Zuko: *You ARE something I want*
lool
Pat "he can smell colors", LOL!
Why did Chris say that at the beginning, if you've seen the show, don't say stuff like that, let them enjoy it and judge it for themselves, Chris kinda spoils stuff by saying 'this episode isn't as good' etc etc
Kieran Kirkwood that's why I enjoy nahid, Suraj, mickey and rana watching it. Chris ruins it.
Don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't like Chris. You're right in the sense that Chris he talks like 'I've seen this before so I'll low-key spoil it lol'
@@kierank2505 even if he dont spoil anything story related, in general his non neutral attitude has an influence on the other reactions. good or bad doesnt matter in that case. they propably will look at some episodes a different way they normally would be if chris wouldnt react like that.
My thoughts exactly! I instantly scuff whenever I see him.
When you tell people what you thought about an episode you always give them good or bad expectations
Personally, I don't mind having Chris and others who've seen the show included in these reactions. In fact, I like hearing their insight and clearing up things that the rest have seen so far but might be confused about. The only thing that bothers me a little bit is stating an opinion about an episode before the others have seen it. I feel like it could possibly give everyone preconceived notions about what to expect or how they should feel about it before they've formed an opinion of their own.
Still, glad to see you guys discuss and enjoy the show. :)
True HOWEVER if we're talking about preconceived notions the comments do that even more. Everyone tried to convince them The Great Divide was a useless filler episode and the worst in the show.
Exactly. Which is why those who have seen the show already shouldn't make comments about future episodes and save the discussion for episodes and events they've all seen. If they can stick to that, I see no problem.
Raphael R. I think it's fine for people who have seen the show before to comment on these videos as long as they don't spoil anything. Also, the Normies have apparently already started reacting to season two (they watch them faster than they upload them), so at this point the only way for their opinions on an episode to be influenced by our comments is retroactively. And, lastly, when it comes to general fanfare about one episode, character, plot point, etc. or another, it gives them an idea of what fans were thinking when these episodes originally aired over ten years ago, which will also get them in on some of the jokes in the self-aware episode, "The Ember Island Players".
And all that said, I completely agree with your first comment.
Raphael R. I like em' all, I do really like the four who haven't seen the show just in a little group too though considering it's blind but I do like the insight
He's burning bridges imo. Saying that a character never does anything like that again in the show is a pretty big reveal. We don't get to wonder if this is going to lead to anything. No. Chris is like: Fuck you. I'm stating shit that I only know because I watched the whole show! That's kind of a dick move. At the very least it's inconsiderate.
Hakoda: "Being a man is knowing where you're needed the most, and that's here protecting your sister"
Later, Sokka: "We need to go back, helping Aang is where we're needed the most"
Great writing
5:55 “pass me them corn donuts” *cut to him eating corn donuts* LMFAO
i anoint Nahid king of the corn donuts
Great video but in my opinion it was pretty clear why Aang acted that way.
12:47 her reaction is priceless
Damn, Pat...let someone else get a word in edgewise...
malykoth this should be pinned lololol :)
he's my favorite lol
Dude just shows up to chill out lol
so does Marketa lolz shes just kinda there, hard;y says anything about the episodes except every once in a blue moon
It's true, I get that yenno, I'm just here to chill
I don't remember Aang ever giving that kiss to Zuko.
The white dude at the right looks like he's done with life
He looks like he just got home from a funeral
bruh i didn’t even notice him the whole video
Maybe he's just baked
@@bruh-fw7op same, I just realized he was there because of the comment
@@antoniamuhle9606 lol
When I re watch Avatar I almost always never go back to season 1 and totally forgot what a badass fight that was at the end of this episode. Watching reactions like this bring back things long forgotten
Never going back to season 1 is so fucking dumb
I kinda get why Aang did what he did, first of all a 12 year old kid is sometimes gonna act like a 12 year old kid and secondly he was afraid to lose his family again.
I actually liked this episode because it kind of puts Aang in a new light. Before this episode he was either playful kid or all-powerful spirit, we never really saw his fundamental humanity before now. This episode shows that, yeah, he’s the avatar, and he’s really happy, but he’s also insecure and he has literally no one other than Sokka and Katara. Anyone in his place would feel kind of angry and scared if the only people who cared for them were thinking of leaving.
I wish we got these reactions more frequently, but I totally get how schedules can be stressful as hell. I love you Normies!! And I shall remain patient for you
If you buy early access, you get instant access to all reactions. They have already finished season 1 and starting season 2 now. The videos are uploaded, but not listed.
Lol Chris was like, "I mean the plush is no Blueberry Spice Head..." and Marketa looks at him like 🤦♀️ #LoKSpoilerAlert
Does anyone else instantly leave what video they're currently watching for Last Airbender reactions? Haha
Haha ur wet
"I don't know who this lady is but I LIKE HER"-toph
This was a life changing show to grow up watching. I am so happy that this led me into young adulthood. Im so happy it continues to bring new joy to more people. I'm excited to see how you react to future seasons.
Appa was putting in WORK in this fight
when it comes to the fortune-teller I believe that she had true power because she never said that the volcano wooden erupted she simply stated that the village would not be destroyed and that's exactly what happened
David W I think it doesn't matter one way or the other. She does not harm anyone and gives people hope. Not to mention that in a village in the middle of nowhere fortune telling is probably thier most entertaining pass time.
Wow I didn’t know you knew that, it’s true it is how airbenders fight. They fight lightly and dodge more than attack, it’s based on real kungfu all these fight styles. This one is called Bagua which actually is based on an octagon. I learned a bit when I was little. It was best shown on the waterwell where they moved kind of in a circle. You move in 8 steps (octagon) and move around like that to dodge or eventually attack. In old China they have a temple where bagua was founded where there is a huge octagon a lot of people train(ed) there. But of course in a smaller (imaginated) octagon
Well a main Reason why Aang was a "dick" or hid the note was because he didn't want to be alone again, imagine being a 12 year old with no family left on the planet and all you have is 2 friends to help you Learn the elements and SAVE THE WORLD, like that's his entire quest he has to do mostly on his own... anyway, plus he apologised and told the truth the next day, he knew he screwed up, and when they left he never forced them to stay and he never got at mad at them for leaving.
That's how I see it tho, good video! :)
Somehow the episodes that Chris always has some dodgy opinion about at the start ends up being real fun. This is one of the biggest reactions I've seen yet. Love these Avatar reactions.
"who the what now?" I just realized Aang and Toph said the same thing from different seasons
BOUT TIME!!! I've been waiting for this! I binged the whole series waiting for this!!! Not gunna lie I'm going to rewatch it!
i ve watched the series 5 times...its so good !!!
"he's no blue berry spice head but" This is mu 50th time rewatching their avatar reactions and I just caught that I'm dead lmao
Yay! I'm glad you enjoy the Appa plush I sent. Looking forward to the unboxing video.
When i see a normies avatar reaction, i like the normies avatar reaction.
Dopey Pikachu I am a simple man with simple needs
love the stuffed appas. everyone needs an appa
These are the highlight of my day!!
Thank you for the reaction
I always feel sorry for Aang in this episode... he has already lost his whole culture :(
yes finally...this is what I been waiting for all week...love you guys
"Sokk-it-to-me!"
Honestly, Appa is a high candidate for MVP of the series when you think about it. My personal favorite character, I skip "Appa's lost days" every rewatch.
The pain that episode causes is necessary tho
@@DarthCaedus7 It was, especially the 1st time i watched it, made me realize how good the show really was.
I love how y’all reacted to this series and I’m jealous because I can’t find a Appa plush anywhere
"He'll 'Sokka' to ya" hahaha, know what,me cause of that, I'm subscribing. I do love puns
Always look forward to these, can't wait for season 2 and 3!
This episode what such a beautiful insight into sokka growth , dude was thinking as adult at age 14
The race has just started. Will 2018 come first? or will Normies finish ATLA? Place your bets people
Odds: 2018 - 2/1
Finish Atla - 7/1
Good Luck!
aakansh938 at this rate they will be done in october I think if they are doing 2 a week
ha
They already finished season 1.
Carbeeezy then Korra!! :)
With early access, they are probably done in june
I know I'm late to the party, but Aang is TWELVE YEARS OLD. I'm glad this show doesn't portray him as some perfect person who always has it figured out. Yes, he is the avatar, but he is a child who is still maturing. Here in the West, we are so used to protagonists and heroes being depicted as faultless with little or no fallibility. I'm glad we see Aang making a huge mistake. Even better, he showed remorse, came clean to his friends about what he had done, and sincerely apologized. That shows terrific character - and is great lesson for children and adults alike. Really great reactions.
Glad you love Momo Rana! Was worried you didn't when for weeks you've been addicted to Appa on Snapchat, but I get it, he's like a pillow while Momo is more toy-ish.
nathanp2007 you got it all wrong. I LOVE MOMO. He reminds me of my cat Amira so much lol. I wanted to take him home to Chicago with me and Appa but Mr Suraj made me ( asked me lol ) if I wouldn't mind keeping Momo at the Normies headquarters for the Avatar reactions since we had another Appa. So don't you worry, I love my momo , sleep with him when I am in Indiana , and appreciate you for sending my very own Momo :)
Awww! That makes me feel a lot better about it. Evil Suraj is to blame (as usual). :P kidding.
Yeah, what I first noticed when you saw Momo during the reactions was how you said he was so cute and that he reminds you of Amira, so i figured that was the right way to go. Glad you love him so much. Keep enjoying Avatar, it only gets better and better until your head explodes watching the finale.
Love seeing all of your new little friends, unboxing hype!! Great reaction as always!
"That seems so yummy..." looks over at her, "Stewed prunes?!?!" LMFAO😂😂😂😂 Looked over at her and said that like "Bish is you drunk???" 😂😂😂
That Sokka pun was actually pretty good. I don't think I've ever heard that one, so koodos to you
Yes, finally! I have been dying for you to pick up AtLA again! I also like how you have the plushies like me!!
I also like how Rama and Suraj were both reacting the same way I did when Zappa was being whipped. I react the same way because I love Appa
Pat sitting there wondering what they're talking about 😂
0:34 Chris and her reaction is fucking hilarious I lol'd
Also two years late to the Avatar reaction vids but I am LOVING them
Them loving their Appa plushies is the best xD
with aang's shift in character, i think it makes sense for him to have these kinds of insecurities i just don't think it was handled as well as it should've been--if aang's worries about being left behind were established in a few other episodes leading up to this one it would've been better but unfortunately that's not what happened
i disagree. i think Aang’s fear of loneliness has been built up pretty well before this episode. in the flashback in “The Storm”, once he learns he’s the avatar, Aang’s social circle drops drastically to the point where Monk Gyatso is the only friend he has. and then once the possibility that he might lose him too comes up, Aang panics and selfishly tries to abandon his avatar duties, running away from the temple entirely. then in the present day, when Aang learns abt the genocide of his people, he has a complete mental breakdown that triggers the avatar state.
so it’s not that Aang was specifically afraid of being left behind, it’s that Aang has a fear of isolation/loneliness and we definitely see evidence of this in the episodes leading up this one.
Loved this episode of Avatar. By the way, the guy in the blue shirt sitting on the end of the couch is really cute 😊.
This format is way better than people just sitting there watching the entire thing in silence and then ending the video afterwards, they make it so you're actually interested in what they have to say afterwards
Ghahaha, your face Rana when you said 'I love her' to June. I had teh same reaction XD :P The shirshu is a very cool animal in this Avatar world, one of my favs. It is very creatively made and I can very well see such a creature having a life strategy like that with sense of small :3
'He's going through some teenage emotions right now' Very well said. I'd say, Aang bad choice, why wuld you do that? That's mean and selfish! But I can understand why and also becaus ehe indeed is a (beginning) teenager and teenagers sometimes make stupid choices and mistakes. 'This is the worst thing to do when you turn 14' xD Yeah..
Appa is angry there :P Protecting Aang like that. I also think he fought back to much more because that shirshu is a serious threat. It's big, fast and has paralyzing powers. Or maybe also just the instinctive disdain of being close to another big animal which is not part of his species or herd. I think all of it together. Not to mantion he got hit by a whip, that is a big no-no for him, he will not be disrespected like that!
That was a great idea of Sokka. The shirshu sees through sense of smell. If you meddle with that, he ges bonkers, completely in a haze of confusion. Very realistic! :D
Upload more of these! I can't wait!!!
DevilsYT aren't they supposed to upload twice on Wednesday...not just once
Dude i just picked up on Chris'es Korra reference. Danum Son. On Point.
If you guys still want to make this a group cosplay, Rana could totally do the headhunter chick (June?), she likes her and she already looks a lot like her! :)
Yo somebody tell Marketa(? I'm sorry if I butchered her name) that her style is fucking dope, the overalls are ill boi and the 90's shirt scheme is tight
bro her clothes style always been tight
you guys need to do an Avatar skit with Nahid as Sokka
surej should be sokka
Avatar Skit! Avatar Skit! Avatar Skit!
1:34 Some say Nahid is like Sokka, but to me Suraj is the Sokka here with the puns xD
10:53 LMAO Iroh you legend XD
"corn doughnuts"
Apocalypse (Richard McGonagle in X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse) supports the water tribe?
I kinda expected Bato to say when he was captured in Day of Black Sun:
"You'll still be blind without Zuko, Ozai...!"
That guy Chris... He's so irritating ... We know you saw the show already, leave the comments about what's going to happen in your pockets. God damn it...
I know this is late but i love that this episode showed that childish part of aang, and *pervert" side of iroh, remember he stole a perfume and pretended to be whiped
The saddle was placed on his flying bison Appa
broooo i forgot how badass this fighting scene was, like aang is the fucking god of dodging
I met the voice actress of June. She's really nice.
10:21 made me laugh my ass off
Aang should go on his own with his flying bison Appa
I have seen this episode many times, but I just now realized that June looks like Rana.
I know this is old and don't expect much as far as replies to explain, but why did Chris say "everyone knows how everyone feels about this episode"? Like, I'm a lifelong fan of the show, have seen the whole series about fifty times and can quote it in its entirety from memory and I'm still confused what he's referring to. I've not heard a lot of people say enough negative things about this episode for it to be a "widely known" opinion. Am I just out of the loop or was that just Chris's personal opinion that he portrayed onto the whole fanbase?
I'm a huge fan as well (15 times maybe xD) and I'm also confused. I don't really have a strong opinion of this episode at all, none but positive anyway. Thought it was a sad but good twist that Katara and Sokka decided to leave and then to change their minds. Its a good episode xDD
But Chris also said "The Storm" wasn't that good either and that is arguable one of the best if not the best episode of the entire series xD
12:49 Boyfriend goals!!!
I love Suraj.. he's so witty... :D
Whats up with the delay on the next episode? Seems like every week there is delay of several hours between the two videos. Since they are already uploaded just unlisted this delay seems unnecessary. Is there a particular reason you guys do this?
Maibuwolf Yeah, why is it taking so long!
the wait really kills the hype when you know its a few button clicks away :(
Counts as a view no matter how long they watch though..........
i assume it's so they can get as many views as they can on the first reaction before they put up the 2nd reaction
If you love Appa so much, can't wait to see your reaction to the episode Appa's Lost Days.
Aang crumples map to saka and kataras Dad.
Rana: Noooooo!
Suraj: What!
Nahid: hey man, pass me those corn doughnuts or whatever
😂😂😂😂
Aang should come on his own with his flying bison Appa
The martial art that airbending is based on is called "Bāguà Zhǎng".
I make videos about Avatar, if anyone is interested.
I think Aunt Wu was legit solely because of the bone cracking scene with Aang
Waiiiit, is the lady with Shirshu played by Ashe from Overwatch?
I Just Noticed @12:30 That Marketa Was Dressed Almost Exactly Like Chucky 😂 Was That On Purpose?
Aang and Appa flying
I'm still not very clear on what June's animal is supposed to be. Is it a hybrid of a wolf and mole, or wolf and badger?
Even though this is one of my least favorite episode it is SO REACTION-WORTHY.
12:59 Just so we all know, Aang never gave Zuko that kiss from Katara
Aang has flying bison named Appa
hahaha :D - blueabrryspicehead korra referance
Yay! Avatar! Hope u guys watch Korra after! I also like kuvira :)
Hey,coud you upload the second one so I can watch it and go to sleep?Thanks
Aane Bjorn lol yeah when are they gonna do that..its been a few hours
