Sozin started out as friends with the Avatar and ended his life searching for the Avatar. Zuko started his life searching for the Avatar and ended up becoming his friend
I think it's good katara never did heal his face. for years he considered it a reminder that he dishonored himself for not being like his father. now to him, it's a badge of honor that he isn't like his father or any fire bender that hates other benders, and now that's ok for him. +scar or no scar, chicks dig him
Why is no one talking about how Sokka literally took out Firebenders with 100x their normal power, while holding Toph with one arm, with a broken leg, lying down, with nothing but a sword and a boomerang?
well I'm guessing Eric is trying to keep it under 10 minutes. It just so happens he had like 5 seconds left without cutting anything. But maybe they didn't react to that situation at all, which would be weird, and that is why it is cut. It is my favorite moment because for a kid's show you see genuine fear in Toph. Especially for her charcter, that's significant.
Sozin and Roku started out as friends and became enemies because the war started. Aang and Zuko started out as enemies and became friends because the war ended.
How Aang defeats the firelord is so perfect, to me. He's the last of the air nomads, he represents every cultural tradition and belief that the fire nation worked so hard to exterminate, and in the very end it's that compassion and unbendable goodness that comes back to defeat them. Also I love the kind of symbolism of Aang's energy being almost swallowed down to a pinprick and then coming back, like a mirror of the journey of the nomads. Yes I do cry.
It's perfect to me as well. It feels like a poetic justice, the Firelord felt like the most powerful, with all of that at his fingertips, only for his fate to have all of it taken away from him, left alive in that agony which I imagine for him is a fate worse than death.
"Iroh had the easy job" Iroh might have had the easiest physical job, BUT he had the hardest emotional job. The last time he fought for Ba Sing Se was to conquer it for the Fire Nation. But then his son passed away and he broke, emotionally. And then lost Ba Sing Se. Seeing Iroh burn away the Fire Nation symbol, which he once was so proud of being there, really symbolizes how much he changed. So, no, I don't agree on Iroh having the easy job. You could see how much it meant to him, since it probably made him think of his son...
@@LuckyOwI777 Even if it was a joke, I said what I wanted to say about that, and am glad that there are people that agree with me... PS, I'm not a dude, hahaha 🚺
@@Avatar-Destiny And I also agree with you. I was just pointing out that they were joking. They didn't really think Iroh did nothing to help. Also...dude is a unisex term, lol
Personally, I see Iroh breaking through the walls of Ba Sing Se as a summary of his character growth. He spent his younger years inexperienced and biased towards the fire nation and tried to break through the wall with his army as a general. At the end, we see a man who has grown so much as a person and has learned so much in his life that all he needs is himself to break through the walls of an impenetrable, not to destroy it, but to free it. He made up for all of his major mistakes in his life by doing this and could finally be at peace with himself knowing that he saved the very thing he had tried to destroy and that he had helped bring an end to the war that killed his son. Iroh buring those flags was just symbolism for buring his mistakes away.
I’ll never forget the day this show ended. First, earlier in in the day, I saw The Dark Knight in a packed cinema. Next, I went to Burger King. Then, I came home to watch this (also, The Dark Knight came out on the same weekend as this finale). And finally, my friends from Illinois came home. One of the best Saturdays *EVER* .
I love that Aang didn't have to ignore his own moral compass to find justice. Their is always a solution to a problem if your'e willing to look hard enough for it
I love Aang but I have to agree Aang didn't find it. The solution was given to him, it wasn't as earned. However I do get that he did learn energybending after deciding he had to kill Ozai. It's reflective later when Aang teaches Korra: "When we hit our lowest point, we are open to the greatest change." Killing would be the hardest thing Aang would have had to do. However, I still agree it was convenient for him. This is why I feel Katara and Zuko are the most developed characters in this series. And (oh boy I'ma hear it but I'll put my boxing gloves on) why I feel Korra is more developed as a protagonist.
Rick Jones The build up for Aang appearing was actually present in the season with Korra connectkng with him more and more. She literally says something like Ok Aang I'm hearing you. And her learning energybending comes in the resolution of the season where Aang comes to help before the conflict is even resolved. It being surprising does not mean convenient when Korra had actually worked on reaching out of him.
The lion turtle gave him the power to get rid of Ozai’s power because he heard him conversing with the previous Avatars and even after hearing them all out he still didn’t want to kill Ozai. The lion turtle saw that his intentions were pure.
Michaella Graham Funny that she’s considered to be one of the strongest firebender at such a young age. I wonder if Zuku could actually defeat Azula if she wasn’t crazy during the Agni Kai.
Azula had a full on mental break by the point she was chained up. I don't think she had the mental capabilities to think of it. Her story is so tragic to me, so young and poisoned by her father. Her hair was great symbolism too. When we first saw her she wouldn't do a thing with a hair out of place, but when she lost all control her hair became wild and she chopped it haphazardly. And Aang's fight with the Phoenix King was pure badass. I still remember my awe when I first watched it. And I love how he basically created an atom shape out of the elements, so freaking cool
Amanda Rochon I know what you meant. didn't want to offend, so if I did. sorry once again. it's just that it's a really old model which was proved to be wrong, but still looks cool. Quantum physics try to explain the way atom looks like, but if you're not interested, then avoid it. it will bring headache :)
Brianna Isn’t Mai 17? In the beach episode Ty Lee said that Mai was an only child for 15 years, and Azula said Mai’s little brother is 2 in the first episode Bumi was in. Unless Ty Lee or Azula got the ages wrong.
Zuko has had some of the best character development in animation history. It's truly been a blast being a part of these reactions and looking forward to Legend of Korra
One of my favorite moments, unfortunately they edited it out, is when Aang and Katara get together. The moment before they kiss, they hug. I think that's very important because they hugged as friends, comrades. That is what they are, and that became more, and its beautiful.
mracoris Dude, come on... We all know that Korra has superior animation than more than half of the episodes in Avatar the Last Airbender. There are probably about a dozen episodes in Avatar that can compete with the average Korra episode in terms of animation.
5:11 that beam of light is suppose to symbolize the closure of his journey. The beginning of the show had a same light that shot to the sky symbolizing that is has begun.
Alex Majin ...also symbolizing aang had finally ascended to the level of fully realized avatar. in book 1, the beam of light is a signal the avatar sages recognize as heralding the reincarnation of a new avatar into the world...
Random Guy I know the movie sucks, that's why I said it's a backhanded compliment. It makes you appreciate how amazing the show is because of how God awful the movie was.
X1299 2209302 i can't even imagine how *m. night* was planning to pull off book 3 in live-action! it might've been interesting tho or a complete train wreck...but probly both ;)
"100 years of fighting has left the world scarred and divided. But with the Avatar's help, we can get it back on the right path, and begin a new era of love and peace." I just realized that Zuko might as well be talking about himself. He was scarred and on the wrong path, fighting to regain his honor and not caring about anything or anyone. But being with Aang and his friends put him on the right path, sending him into an era of peace and love.
Man...I wish you guys have reacted to the part where Sokka tells Toph "this is it". That moment in Avatar always gave me chills in a bad way, because it gives you such a feeling of despair like all hope is lost. Especially when Toph starts crying thinking this is the end. It was like that moment in Toy Story 3 when they all thought they were going to die by the flames. Anyways, Korra here we come.
*aang found a way!* and believe it or not, that other *way* included having to prove all the experts *wrong!* guru pathik...when he warned aang that to unlock the final chakra thereby granting him control over the avatar state, he had to let go of his love for katara...even with avatar roku, yangchen and his countless other past lives telling aang to compromise his spirit and kill the firelord, he persisted in his search for a better solution. some will call the sudden appearance of the lion turtle this show's biggest deus ex machina but i see it more as the *universe* sensing aang's dilemma and simply providing *another option.* which could be the reason the LT didn't come to any of the avatars before...they only became fully realized avatars in *adulthood,* making them so sure of their decisions, while aang being so young, still questioned everything. ironically, youth and inexperience was seen by ozai as so much of a weakness that he didn't even plan for the avatar's disruption, turned out to be key not only in the battle to stop the firelord but also aang's own spiritual journey to *find his destiny* as the last airbender forcing him to literally *redefine* what it meant to be the avatar for any that would succeed him... #2deep ;) LIKE# 6658
"This is like what Roku and Sozin should've done" Gosh I never even realized. Generations after Roku and Sozin's friendship was shattered, Roku's next life and Sozin's great-grandson became friends and took the fire nation in the next step it truly needed. So many beautiful layers to this show.
One of my favorite lesser mentioned arcs is that of Ti Lee. In the beach the story she tells about having six identical sisters and struggling to be her own person really helps the viewer empathize with her, but the fact that her last line in the show is that she and the Kioshi warriors will be best friends is so fitting. Her growth from a child struggling with identity and self into a young adult choosing her place in a group who dresses and paints themselves identically is such a good arc. It’s often overlooked because of how many other fantastic arcs for other more major characters there are, but hers is one of my favorites.
I really love the chant in the background when the lionturtle is speaking or at the end when he is Bending the energy inside of Ozai. The chant is Na Mo A Mi Tuo Fo Shin Di and means "i bow to the Boundless Budha Amithaba. Amithaba was the Budha of Infinit light and i think it simbolises perfectly how Aang acheaved enlightnment through his journey and was considered a full avatar at the end
@@siloPIRATE ...no he was not breathing underwater. what he did is a great new technique he invented called..."holding your breath". Quite different from breathing
Well... To understand why something is disliked, you'll have to watch it to truly understand it. With the avatar series and the movie and fandom. Yeah...
i am honestly glad this movie exists. It is a disgrace to the franchise and absolutly, ridicoulsy terrible but the trailer for it was the first i ever heared of Avatar. It sparked my interest and i found this awesome show.
I love Iroh so much. He is honestly my favorite character. His unconditional love, compassion & kindness are such a great example to us all. This show taught a whole generation. It is simply amazing.
2:38 The reactions sum up this fight perfectly. They could have made it a fight 'to the end' between siblings. Instead, the music, the cinematography, and the voice acting all show that this is ultimately a tragedy. No-one wins in this fight, as Azula loses the last grasp on her sanity and Zuko loses his sister.
Some people say the ending to this episode was stupid because Aang didn't kill the Fire Lord. This has been discussed in the episode commentary for this episode by the co-creators. The reason why Aang did what he did was because the world had been at war for a hundred years. Countless lives were lost as a result, and would it have been right to end the conflict by adding to the cycle of killing? To this day, I say no; I think how Aang chose to end this was the best possible way he could.
I'm so glad I was able to witness the journey you took. Experiencing this series for the first time is something unforgettable and magical. I hope you continue to react to A_TLA media, including the awful movie (or the hilarious reviews of that movie), The Legend of Korra, the comics and even the shibi shorts. Cheers! Sincerely, an Avatar fan.
It has been a hell of a ride and even though i have seen it before this was way better with the group. Thanks for watching it all Blind wave. See ya next show! great edits btw
The movie is NOT by any means fine if it isn't connected to the show. It is a steaming pile whether you look at it as an adaptation or a stand alone movie. I don't know what Calvin is talking about.
5:06 The moment Aang becomes a fully realized Avatar in my opinion, and much more realized than any other Avatars that came before him, its so powerful and moving, and its sooo *_Aang_* , I get tears in my eyes every time I see it. I love him so much. :)
If that god-awful movie hadn't been made, people wouldn't have begged Doug Walker to review it, meaning he may never have watched the show, meaning he never would have made those vlogs about the show, meaning I may never have gotten into the show. So... Thank you, M. Night Shyamalan.
@Mike Hunt Yes, all anime is trash. Every single one of them. Be them shounen for kids, romantic anime, adult anime, slice of life anime, supernatural anime. From Naruto to Aggretsuko, from Berserk to Toradora, from Baccano to Ghost in the Shell, all anime share the common trait of being trash. Because they are all so darn similar, all of them. You sir are a man of culture.
The ending was very empowering. The music matched perfectly alongside the pure kiss between Aang and Katara. It made me tear up by how they finally got together at the right moment 💖 #kataang
Oh would you look at that, Google knows it all =D There's an official poster for the Legend of Korra that shows the original Avatar Gang and Korra's group, entitled "Old Friends" and "New Friends". Old Friends shows an adult version of the Gaang, they look to be around their thirties, and on that poster Sokka does indeed have his space sword with him. Since it's official material we can know for sure that he eventually got it back =D
Every time the ending of this series brings such a wholeness in my heart, for all of them. For some reason Avatar just gets to me, Katara, Sokka, Aang, Toph, Zuko, Iroh, Suki, they all just feel so real to me. Of course they're not but the ending just feels so right and the entire series feels so perfectly put together. I love Zuko the most because of his arc but all of them are amazing characters and every time I see a clip from this show I end up watching it all over again. It's great to see other people enjoying it so much as well.
My first and last comment for this series reaction: thank you so much for reacting to ATLA, Blind Wave crew! Like many here this was one of the reasons why my childhood was such a joy to reminisce. The resolution to Ozai's defeat was satisfying for me as well. When I first saw it I thought energy-bending looked so cool and Aang was taught a new technique that we'd never seen before. Then after re-watching ATLA for who-knows-how-many-times I've come to really respect Aang and the kind of person he was after all this. Because Aang was the Avatar and he performed amazing feats here and there we forget that he was a 12-year-old boy who had 12-year-old wants like playing and having a crush. Any kid from any of the four nations would have been just as happy-go-lucky as Aang was but the fact that he was an airbender and that air was the element of freedom added much more to his personality being a little too carefree at times. He had grown up so much through the entire series but the one thing that never changed is that he respected all life from his core. Now there lay the problem because he definitely needed to do something against Firelord Ozai and the only solution that had been presented to him was to kill him. Zuko even went as far as "take his life before he takes yours." Now Aang realized that he couldn't be that carefree kid anymore because not only was his own life at stake but the entire world. The impending danger was all too real that even something as ancient as the Lion-turtle came to Aang's aid because the balance in the world was being seriously threatened. In my opinion, the Lion-turtle taught him the technique of energy-bending because it saw in Aang's core being that he was desperately trying to find a way to stop the threat without killing. The past Avatars were all willing to end their foes and I think because of that, the Lion-turtle didn't need to teach them the technique. Energy-bending required that the Avatar's spirit was "un-bendable" or it will be corrupted and destroyed and this is exactly why the technique was perfect for Aang because despite everybody telling him to kill he stayed true to his core being, meaning his resolve was un-bendable and so the technique worked for him. This is why the ending was satisfying for me, because I came appreciate Aang's strength of character. Okay that was longer than I intended LOL but again, thank you Blind Wave crew! Sad that there'll be no more ATLA reactions to look forward to but you are just getting started on FMA:B which is another favorite of mine so it's all good! :D
BTW you'll learn more about Lion Turtles in Korra. If you look back to season 2 when they were in the library, Aang picked up a book about lion turtles
Now that's how you roar like an angry tigerdillo. That roar honestly gave me immense chills, because of how epic and horrifying it looked and sounded. Aang in the Avatar State was just terrifying, most especially when you see everything shaking with all the elements coming to him like that. And the music, god the music! Just perfect!! Katara freezing herself and Azula was epic AF!! To be frank, I was scared as shit as a kid because I thought that now meant she was going to be like Aang...frozen forever in ice...then I remembered she was a waterbender LOL Azula crying like a baby just showed how broken she was in the end. Her father molded her into a powerful weapon he could use and in the end, she became a broken weapon. I loved Zuko's speech at the end! It was not only satisfying to hear him officially end the war and to look to the future, but he's come so far from that angry angsty teen that was at war with himself and the world. God, what a journey this was! I already feel empty again... No matter how many times I rewatch and finish ATLA, I'll always have that same empty feeling after. Anyways, I'm really glad to have gone on this journey again with you guys. I loved watching you all grow to love the show and characters as I and many others had 12 years ago. This show was something special and I'm glad you can appreciate it with us now :) And yes, I agree! Even though a part of me wanted more, I still felt fully satisfied by the overall ending and not a lot of shows does that for me. Makes ATLA even more special for me. *Also, go back and listen to the ending credits if you haven't yet!!!*
@@epicfan1598 Did they? I haven't read the comics in a very long time, so please correct me if I'm wrong. But I don't think they ever did get back together
Movie? What movie? There's no movie. Avatar: The Last Airbender never got a movie. It's a shame, really. I'd think that it would be a good movie. But it never got a movie. Nope. No movie adaptation at all. Someone should do that, though. Because there is no movie. No ATLA movie.
actually M. Night Shyamalan who directed The Sixth Sense made a film loosely based the show's first season and it was released in 2010. i suggest you give it a watch. it's not made by the same people, it's rather an adaptation for his audience. Some things are done uniquely though so i'd definitely recommend seeing it for interests sake
Kaelob Riley lmao clearly u don't understand that people can watch whatever the fuck they want. also why have you been keeping track of my comments? that's a little weird lol
I checked Blind Wave's channel out of instinct, forgetting that Avatar is over. These became the main highlight of my Mondays and Fridays, now what am I supposed to do? God knows when they'll start Korra, and it's still up in the air if they'll even react to the comics/movie/Honest Trailer of said movie. I feel so empty now that these are over.
Azula's breakdown is my favorite scene from any TV show ever. She completely and totally SNAPS, and being helpless is the most horrendous thing that has ever happened to her, and AT THE SAME TIME she realizes that she lost to Zuko again, as she did her whole life until his exile, and she's so unhinged and angry and deeply sad and DERANGED that all she can do is scream and cry and sob and hope to burn everything that ruined her to ash - the ice cold witch of the Fire Nation, reduced to a defeated, crying, lunatic child. And that's why Azula is my favorite character in my favorite show of all time.
The best series to ever grace a screen. Amazing 3-dimensional characters, gorgeous action that still holds up today, and a phenomenal story that keeps you engaged and wanting more and also sad when it ends.
You should definitely rewatch the series. I'm getting on Spring Break soon, I'm definitely going to watch the series again. It's my favorite tv show of all time.
Guys, you could make a "rifftrack" while watching the movie, so we can play it over the movie when we are watching it. TeamFourStar did that with Dragon Ball Evolution and it was hilarious.
I absolutely love that I've found these guys and their reactions. Four grown men absolutely over the moon about a kid's show. It's great! And the analysis! Breaking down a show like this, in so much detail, it's thrilling! Loved seeing your reactions guys!
"I want to watch the movie." For the love of all that is holy, don't subjugate yourself to such a vile piece of cinematic trash. Calvin is wrong, it's totally not fine on its own, it still suffers from poor acting, some of the worst direction I've ever seen, lazy and laughable choreography, terrible cinematography, crappy effects that looked fake as shit even when the movie released, cringy dialogue, one dimensional characters, and huge pacing issues. Please, for the love of God, don't watch it. Or do so we can see your reactions. Either way works for me.
I have a great idea! Let's take this interesting story with a diverse range of characters with different personalities, except we change all of their personalities to mental copies of Kristen Stewart. That will make the story even better! What could go wrong?
Katara beating Azula at the end, not by using her anger, but just by using her brain and her determination, is probably my favorite scene in the entire show.
Yup, all 4 nations were at that ceremony, water, fire, earth, and.. Straight up swamp people
7 ปีที่แล้ว +14
Omg, I just cried again lol I love TLA and this end was amazing! Would be cool to see a review about the Graphic Novels! And, I can't wait for Korra! Great reaction, guys!
I can't believe that it is over, I watched every reaction of Avatar of yours since the beginning, its a little sad that its over. At least I have the Legend of Korra to look forward to.
God this show is amazing, hopefully you discuss Azula more because if feel like you guys didn't emphatize with what she went through. Keep up the awesome reactions guys, can't wait for Korra!
Yes, read the avatar comics and watch the legend of korra if you want most of your questions answered Also please react to the Avatar chibi ep! They're all short and there's 3 of them I think, so you should be fine watching them in one sitting As for the movie, while its horrible, in terms of world building it was somewhat accurate but cheaply done
Nobody went through as much as Zuko. From the beginning he never had the easy road. Not the most talented, not the smartest, not the strongest, all heart. Never gave up.
I wouldn't say it's better than TLoA, but it's still a good show in it's own right. Even just for how it expands on the Avatar universe and history. It's written for an older audience, and tends to have darker themes than TLoA, I think my favorite part is how they expanded the bending forms to be influenced by more modern styles (like boxing, MMA etc.).
Ali Irfan I'm sorry your friends mislead you, but I understand where they may be coming from, when you start watching it you can't stop comparing it to TLA, and the first season might feel odd, because you still want to know more about aang and Co, but once you get over that hump you realize what a great show Korra is. Hope you give it a try, cheers.
Season 1 is good, 2 is trash, 3 is AMAZING, 4 is meh. Its up to you, its fine. It can't come close to Avatar's quality, and it certainly could have been much better, but its not a horrible show. Just a disappointing one, especially considering how good Avatar is.
I cannot believe my journey is ending here as well, all that waiting each weak to see more and more. I gotta say this is the most powerful bond u have created with your audience due to this series. The real heroes are Blind Wave
20:15 Calvin are you serious!? Even if it wasn't related to ATLA it would still be shit! They EXPLAIN absolutely everything through narration instead of showing it to us. What happened, how they feel, everything! then there is the choreography of 10 minutes so they can move a tiny stone! Anyone can go and punch them in the face before they manage to move something, COME ON! Even as a separate movie, it's still shit!
This, this is so true; there are even many reviews of the movie on TH-cam by people who never watched any of the show, and they are all agreed upon how *horrible* that thing was. And the dialogue, oh GOD don't get me started on the dialogue!
Lonkinella I think he means it would be harmless. It definitely wouldn't be "fine." The movie would mostly just fly under the radar if Avatar was not attached to it and it was just a poorly made fantasy movie, kind of like Lady in the Water. But, it's called The Last Airbender, so it will forever be a tainted, ugly part of this incredible franchise.
I would like to thank Eric, Aaron, Calvin and Shane for watching this incredible show and letting us experience this show most of us loved since our childhoods through your eyes. I really enjoyed your reactions they were always amazing, so sad they're over now, and I'm really glad that you guys loved the show, it is truly one of the greatest cartoon ever, it is the greatest in my opinion. I love this show because it made me laugh, it made me cry, it made me think. It showed me the world is ugly as it can be, but also that every moment, no matter how bad, can be a moment worth remembering. It showed people of different genders and castes, each with their own stories to tell. Yet all of them came together, either through luck or assumed destiny. A show which takes you through an entire world, makes you meet people, care about them and teaches you the value of forgiveness and friendship. This is what makes ATLA one of the best shows ever created for me. The ending may have been satisfying to some, but I really wanted more to be honest, I wasn't satisfied completely and I always have this empty feeling whenever I rewatch the show, but it is what it is, still a phenomenal show! I really do wish people take the show more seriously because it really is more than "just a cartoon." I loved the whole parallel between Aang, Zuko and Katara of how they all had a chance to kill someone but they didn't. Aang with Ozai, Zuko with Admiral Zhao and Katara with Yon Rha, I just found that to be really cool. Azula's breakdown/downfall is done so well here, I always felt so bad for her when she was crying and screaming out blue flames, you can tell Zuko and Katara also felt really bad for her they just looked at her very sadly, they weren't happy and didn't celebrate at all after the defeated Azula, they just felt really bad for her. Also did anyone find it really cheap on how Aang opened his final chakra to get into the Avatar State? He basically did just by hitting a rock. I thought this completely took away what we saw from "The Guru" episode and the whole philosophical depth of that episode, really wished he opened it in a better way that would make more sense and actually connect with that episode. Zuko's Fire Lord ceremony was really cool too and also very different from his forefathers. No fire was lit anywhere and the ceremony happened during the day time and also no one bowed down to Zuko like people did before with his forefathers, also I loved how people from every Nation attended. You guys should read the comics, it will answer some of your questions, I personally do not like the comics for many reasons and for the movie well no one likes that haha and I doubt you guys will too when you watch it. And Aaron, there was supposed to be a Book 4, but it was cancelled because they sold the rights to Paramount and decided to make a movie series, each movie was supposed to be based off the 3 Books of ATLA, but we all know how the first movie went, it was terrible and I doubt their plan of making a movie trilogy will ever continue because the first movie was so bad, they should've just made another Book for the show, everyone would have preferred that. Please do Legends of Korra, that is a really good show and I'm really looking forward for you guys reaction to that show! Toph's line which is also the last line from the show "Well I think you all look perfect!" really gets me every time. 😭
A beautiful end to a fantastic series. While I'm sad that we're done, I'm so happy I got the chance to re-watch this series with you guys and re-experience the magic once again. Thanks guys!
There are comic volumes that you can read about. They basically act as an epilogue and aftermath story for the series. Also there is the Legend of Korra which is the sequel series, it's definitely worth watching the first season at the least.
I was so pleasantly surprised when I watched this episode the first time. I expected it to end like a lot of cartoons or kids movies where the hero doesn’t kill the bad guy but he’ll still fall of a tower or be turned on by his minions or some other way to dispose of him without it technically being the hero’s fault. But this was refreshingly different: the hero took an active role in disarming and neutralizing the villain, while also not resorting to violence. Really beautiful and powerful.
Guys for any people thinking to ask even more about Korra just going to put this here. The crew are going to watch Korra but they currently do not have a set time or day for it just yet. They have said though that they will not be jumping straight into it. Also the crew have said that the 2 episodes a week will not be continuing from this point on, for any show.

I realized that Sozin and Roku started as friends and ended up as enemies. And Aang and Zuko started as enemies and ended up as friends.
Everything is connected
It all began when two friends became enemies and it ended with two enemies becoming friends.
everything comes full circle in this show I swear to God
Sozin started out as friends with the Avatar and ended his life searching for the Avatar. Zuko started his life searching for the Avatar and ended up becoming his friend
@@its_malarkey YOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Find the Avatar. Restore my Honor.
Mission accomplished Zuko.
Haha my dude Zuko!
When you do a *spoilers* thing. It's best to do it...
...like this.
But his scar is with him forever
I think it's good katara never did heal his face. for years he considered it a reminder that he dishonored himself for not being like his father. now to him, it's a badge of honor that he isn't like his father or any fire bender that hates other benders, and now that's ok for him. +scar or no scar, chicks dig him
It not only completes his character arc, but adds more depth to the show.
The last line of the series is Toph saying "I think you all look perfect." She can't see the image. The last line of ATLA is a blind joke.
Why is this show so God damn awesome 🤣💜💜
Yeah I think everyone got that
bet no one saw that coming XD
@@breninpeterson856 is that another blind joke? XD
Sokka’s first word in the series: “it’s”... Toph last word in the series: “perfect”
Why is no one talking about how Sokka literally took out Firebenders with 100x their normal power, while holding Toph with one arm, with a broken leg, lying down, with nothing but a sword and a boomerang?
Such a great warrior indeed.
We Stan mr back bender himself 😭
You know, now that you say it like that, Sokka beating the fire benders probably makes no sense
man a beast
I believe in Sokka supremacy
"I don't think boomerangs coming back Toph..."
*Toph gets teary*
fav moment missed in reaction :(
Spigy ZJ I agree. its intense.. she can't see how high up she is but can sense that sokka would've died while she held his hand.
cant believe they didnt show that.I get teary in that scene
well I'm guessing Eric is trying to keep it under 10 minutes. It just so happens he had like 5 seconds left without cutting anything. But maybe they didn't react to that situation at all, which would be weird, and that is why it is cut.
It is my favorite moment because for a kid's show you see genuine fear in Toph. Especially for her charcter, that's significant.
I dont know...maybe he could cut out sokka throwing his batarang and show directly that scene
Call me whatever, but i think that the scene would be better with Sokka sacrificing himself for Toph...

I would agree if it hadnt been a copy paste. This comment has existed for years on every review of the last airbender movie.

Sozin and Roku started out as friends and became enemies because the war started. Aang and Zuko started out as enemies and became friends because the war ended.
Wow! I never thought of it that way
How Aang defeats the firelord is so perfect, to me. He's the last of the air nomads, he represents every cultural tradition and belief that the fire nation worked so hard to exterminate, and in the very end it's that compassion and unbendable goodness that comes back to defeat them.
Also I love the kind of symbolism of Aang's energy being almost swallowed down to a pinprick and then coming back, like a mirror of the journey of the nomads. Yes I do cry.
It's perfect to me as well. It feels like a poetic justice, the Firelord felt like the most powerful, with all of that at his fingertips, only for his fate to have all of it taken away from him, left alive in that agony which I imagine for him is a fate worse than death.
Im the 199th liker
It makes sense to me cause with everyone getting him to kill Ozai he almost started to believe it, but his spirit was unbendable
You just had to make me tear up 🥲
"All hail Fire Lord Zuko!"
The best sentence to end Zuko's character. What a journey.

"Iroh had the easy job"
Iroh might have had the easiest physical job, BUT he had the hardest emotional job.
The last time he fought for Ba Sing Se was to conquer it for the Fire Nation. But then his son passed away and he broke, emotionally. And then lost Ba Sing Se.
Seeing Iroh burn away the Fire Nation symbol, which he once was so proud of being there, really symbolizes how much he changed. So, no, I don't agree on Iroh having the easy job. You could see how much it meant to him, since it probably made him think of his son...
Dude...it was a joke. Cause all it showed was him burning down a flag. lol
@@LuckyOwI777 Even if it was a joke, I said what I wanted to say about that, and am glad that there are people that agree with me...
PS, I'm not a dude, hahaha 🚺
@@Avatar-Destiny And I also agree with you. I was just pointing out that they were joking. They didn't really think Iroh did nothing to help.
Also...dude is a unisex term, lol
Exactly, he is literally turning his back on the ideals his son died for.
Personally, I see Iroh breaking through the walls of Ba Sing Se as a summary of his character growth. He spent his younger years inexperienced and biased towards the fire nation and tried to break through the wall with his army as a general. At the end, we see a man who has grown so much as a person and has learned so much in his life that all he needs is himself to break through the walls of an impenetrable, not to destroy it, but to free it. He made up for all of his major mistakes in his life by doing this and could finally be at peace with himself knowing that he saved the very thing he had tried to destroy and that he had helped bring an end to the war that killed his son. Iroh buring those flags was just symbolism for buring his mistakes away.
I’ll never forget the day this show ended.
First, earlier in in the day, I saw The Dark Knight in a packed cinema.
Next, I went to Burger King.
Then, I came home to watch this (also, The Dark Knight came out on the same weekend as this finale).
And finally, my friends from Illinois came home.
One of the best Saturdays *EVER* .
Ryan Blanche That is awesome. Especially the Burger King
I don’t know if you could have a better Saturday
BURGER KING? You're a lucky man my friend.
I was only 4, when it ended
😂this is history
I love that Aang didn't have to ignore his own moral compass to find justice. Their is always a solution to a problem if your'e willing to look hard enough for it
Ethio Samurai I hate that fact. Sometimes you have to put your own beliefs to the side for the benefit of others. Smh he's a selfish child
Yeah, you never know when a lion turtle will show up to help you out...
I love Aang but I have to agree Aang didn't find it. The solution was given to him, it wasn't as earned. However I do get that he did learn energybending after deciding he had to kill Ozai. It's reflective later when Aang teaches Korra: "When we hit our lowest point, we are open to the greatest change." Killing would be the hardest thing Aang would have had to do.
However, I still agree it was convenient for him. This is why I feel Katara and Zuko are the most developed characters in this series. And (oh boy I'ma hear it but I'll put my boxing gloves on) why I feel Korra is more developed as a protagonist.
Rick Jones The build up for Aang appearing was actually present in the season with Korra connectkng with him more and more. She literally says something like Ok Aang I'm hearing you. And her learning energybending comes in the resolution of the season where Aang comes to help before the conflict is even resolved.
It being surprising does not mean convenient when Korra had actually worked on reaching out of him.
The lion turtle gave him the power to get rid of Ozai’s power because he heard him conversing with the previous Avatars and even after hearing them all out he still didn’t want to kill Ozai. The lion turtle saw that his intentions were pure.
The fact that Azula was 14 breaks my heart... this kid has issues....
omg she was 18 not 14
Actually, Azula was Zuko's younger sister. And he was 16 in the series. It's all in the Avatar wiki.
AZULA IS LIKE 15 NOT 18 lol
Michaella Graham Funny that she’s considered to be one of the strongest firebender at such a young age. I wonder if Zuku could actually defeat Azula if she wasn’t crazy during the Agni Kai.
Mr. Panda she was 14
Azula had a full on mental break by the point she was chained up. I don't think she had the mental capabilities to think of it. Her story is so tragic to me, so young and poisoned by her father. Her hair was great symbolism too. When we first saw her she wouldn't do a thing with a hair out of place, but when she lost all control her hair became wild and she chopped it haphazardly.
And Aang's fight with the Phoenix King was pure badass. I still remember my awe when I first watched it. And I love how he basically created an atom shape out of the elements, so freaking cool
Amanda Rochon I think these guys just don't appreciate Azula as much as they should.
Zuko and Azula's fight is some of the most beautiful animation I have ever seen.
Amanda Rochon I'm sorry, but that's not how the atom looks like.
mracoris I mean in the way that the elements rotate around with him as the nucleus

Amanda Rochon I know what you meant. didn't want to offend, so if I did. sorry once again. it's just that it's a really old model which was proved to be wrong, but still looks cool. Quantum physics try to explain the way atom looks like, but if you're not interested, then avoid it. it will bring headache :)
They were talking about ages of the characters. Aang and Toph are 12, Katara and Azusa are 14, Soka and Zuko are 16.
Sokka and Katara are 16
@@onceafetus169 kataras younger
@DrakeonLex 1 actually
lol you guys are all wrong... Aang and Toph are 12, Katara and Azula are 14, Sokka, Suki, Ty Lee, and Mai are 15,, and Zuko is 16
Brianna Isn’t Mai 17? In the beach episode Ty Lee said that Mai was an only child for 15 years, and Azula said Mai’s little brother is 2 in the first episode Bumi was in. Unless Ty Lee or Azula got the ages wrong.
Zuko has had some of the best character development in animation history. It's truly been a blast being a part of these reactions and looking forward to Legend of Korra
+Weiss Schnee, You and me both. :)
+Weiss Schnee, I think that weiss and zuko are similar in some ways. They both had a bad relationship with their father and the heroes.
legend of korra season 1 is great the rest is shitty
adamo higo I found season 3 to be fairly refreshing but yes, season 1 is the best
2 is shitty. 3 is Amazing. 4 is just pretty great.
One of my favorite moments, unfortunately they edited it out, is when Aang and Katara get together. The moment before they kiss, they hug. I think that's very important because they hugged as friends, comrades. That is what they are, and that became more, and its beautiful.
ATLA is legendary tier. Korra is good. The villains are interesting and the animation is a little better but that's about it. ATLA is far superior.
It's not "far" superior. They're in the same realm. Both are the best animated shows of all time discussion.
You're kidding right? Korra is ambitious, but it doesn't hold a candle to Avatar.. The characters from ATLA are all a thousand times more compelling.
Robert Sooalo in my whole opinion - ATLA has way better animation than Korra...
I feel as though the characters are more relatable in Korra. But overall ATLA is very funny and has one of the best characters in the Avatar universe.
mracoris Dude, come on... We all know that Korra has superior animation than more than half of the episodes in Avatar the Last Airbender. There are probably about a dozen episodes in Avatar that can compete with the average Korra episode in terms of animation.
"I have to re-watch this." -Eric, 2017
The best thing about this show is you can re-watch it as many times as you like and it will never get old! Always find and learn something new!
Yeah, I totally agree. Watched it 3 times on my own and 2 times with reaction channels like the Blind Wave crew. This show is just amazing.
imaad uddin too true
I just got done watching their reaction and I want to watch it all again, that's how amazing this show is.

"100 years of fighting has left the world scarred and divided. But with the Avatar's help, we can get it back on the right path, and begin a new era of love and peace." I just realized that Zuko might as well be talking about himself. He was scarred and on the wrong path, fighting to regain his honor and not caring about anything or anyone. But being with Aang and his friends put him on the right path, sending him into an era of peace and love.
Man, I literally can't even with this show. It's just TOO GOOD.
zuko was told to seek avatar and restore his honor, well he found the avatar and his honor restored...
nice haha
Man...I wish you guys have reacted to the part where Sokka tells Toph "this is it". That moment in Avatar always gave me chills in a bad way, because it gives you such a feeling of despair like all hope is lost. Especially when Toph starts crying thinking this is the end. It was like that moment in Toy Story 3 when they all thought they were going to die by the flames. Anyways, Korra here we come.
... SPOILERS FOR TOY STORY 3 !!!! DO NOT READ COMMENT ABOVE ME UNLESS YOU HAVE WATCHED TOY STORY 3 COMPLETELY !!! >:V

God, i fucking love this show
Yeah this show feels like a experience :)
Writers really respects their fans and put so much work on this story and characters. Good job damn good job
I get the feels when I hear that music at the end. What a great show, I fucking love it. If they made 10 more seasons id watch them all.
*aang found a way!* and believe it or not, that other *way* included having to prove all the experts *wrong!* guru pathik...when he warned aang that to unlock the final chakra thereby granting him control over the avatar state, he had to let go of his love for katara...even with avatar roku, yangchen and his countless other past lives telling aang to compromise his spirit and kill the firelord, he persisted in his search for a better solution. some will call the sudden appearance of the lion turtle this show's biggest deus ex machina but i see it more as the *universe* sensing aang's dilemma and simply providing *another option.* which could be the reason the LT didn't come to any of the avatars before...they only became fully realized avatars in *adulthood,* making them so sure of their decisions, while aang being so young, still questioned everything. ironically, youth and inexperience was seen by ozai as so much of a weakness that he didn't even plan for the avatar's disruption, turned out to be key not only in the battle to stop the firelord but also aang's own spiritual journey to *find his destiny* as the last airbender forcing him to literally *redefine* what it meant to be the avatar for any that would succeed him... #2deep ;) LIKE# 6658
"This is like what Roku and Sozin should've done"
Gosh I never even realized. Generations after Roku and Sozin's friendship was shattered, Roku's next life and Sozin's great-grandson became friends and took the fire nation in the next step it truly needed. So many beautiful layers to this show.
And don't forget that Zuko is also Roku's great-grandson too
they started off as friends and ended as enemies. but zuko and aang started off as enemies and ended as friends. they truly fixed the past.
Some friendships even transcend lifetimes.
I liked how when Aang was doing the energy bending how the blue light appeared in the sky like it did in the pilot when he emerged from the iceberg.
THANK YOU FOR NOTICING
One of my favorite lesser mentioned arcs is that of Ti Lee. In the beach the story she tells about having six identical sisters and struggling to be her own person really helps the viewer empathize with her, but the fact that her last line in the show is that she and the Kioshi warriors will be best friends is so fitting. Her growth from a child struggling with identity and self into a young adult choosing her place in a group who dresses and paints themselves identically is such a good arc. It’s often overlooked because of how many other fantastic arcs for other more major characters there are, but hers is one of my favorites.
Dang, never noticed that before. Nice catch
I really love the chant in the background when the lionturtle is speaking or at the end when he is Bending the energy inside of Ozai. The chant is Na Mo A Mi Tuo Fo Shin Di and means "i bow to the Boundless Budha Amithaba. Amithaba was the Budha of Infinit light and i think it simbolises perfectly how Aang acheaved enlightnment through his journey and was considered a full avatar at the end

i am honestly glad this movie exists. It is a disgrace to the franchise and absolutly, ridicoulsy terrible but the trailer for it was the first i ever heared of Avatar. It sparked my interest and i found this awesome show.
You probably would've found out about the show eventually anyway.
Let them watch, it's okay.
Let them! To be honest, it made me appreciate the show even more so than before.
I love Iroh so much. He is honestly my favorite character.
His unconditional love, compassion & kindness are such a great example to us all.
This show taught a whole generation. It is simply amazing.
2:38 The reactions sum up this fight perfectly.
They could have made it a fight 'to the end' between siblings.
Instead, the music, the cinematography, and the voice acting all show that this is ultimately a tragedy. No-one wins in this fight, as Azula loses the last grasp on her sanity and Zuko loses his sister.
I don't think the Lion Turtle gave him a new power i think he just taught Aang the technique.
This is the best non-spoiler answer. Anything more would be spoilers for other canon sources.
Are you assuming that spoilers canonical gender? TRIGGURED!
Yea no spoilers guys
Keaton Have you not watched Korra?
Community Gamer I have
Some people say the ending to this episode was stupid because Aang didn't kill the Fire Lord. This has been discussed in the episode commentary for this episode by the co-creators. The reason why Aang did what he did was because the world had been at war for a hundred years. Countless lives were lost as a result, and would it have been right to end the conflict by adding to the cycle of killing? To this day, I say no; I think how Aang chose to end this was the best possible way he could.
Nathaniel Grindstaff not only that. none deserves death, Ozay was just another victim of the circumstances that made him this way.
Shane:" I want to watch the movie."
Calven:" Don't."
Aang standing there in front of the crowd at the end, it hit me how he really is the only airbender left, gave me chills!
I'm so glad I was able to witness the journey you took. Experiencing this series for the first time is something unforgettable and magical. I hope you continue to react to A_TLA media, including the awful movie (or the hilarious reviews of that movie), The Legend of Korra, the comics and even the shibi shorts.
Cheers!
Sincerely, an Avatar fan.
It has been a hell of a ride and even though i have seen it before this was way better with the group. Thanks for watching it all Blind wave. See ya next show! great edits btw
The movie is NOT by any means fine if it isn't connected to the show. It is a steaming pile whether you look at it as an adaptation or a stand alone movie. I don't know what Calvin is talking about.
5:06 The moment Aang becomes a fully realized Avatar in my opinion, and much more realized than any other Avatars that came before him, its so powerful and moving, and its sooo *_Aang_* , I get tears in my eyes every time I see it. I love him so much. :)
If that god-awful movie hadn't been made, people wouldn't have begged Doug Walker to review it, meaning he may never have watched the show, meaning he never would have made those vlogs about the show, meaning I may never have gotten into the show.
So... Thank you, M. Night Shyamalan.
I suppose... Every shit movie has one person who somehow benefited from it.
Well done M. Night.
Malcolm Ferguson It's ironic that the best animated show (yes it is, shut up) has one of the worst movies.

@Mike Hunt Yes, all anime is trash. Every single one of them. Be them shounen for kids, romantic anime, adult anime, slice of life anime, supernatural anime. From Naruto to Aggretsuko, from Berserk to Toradora, from Baccano to Ghost in the Shell, all anime share the common trait of being trash. Because they are all so darn similar, all of them.
You sir are a man of culture.
The ending was very empowering. The music matched perfectly alongside the pure kiss between Aang and Katara. It made me tear up by how they finally got together at the right moment 💖
#kataang
Perfect ending aside Sokka losing his space sword
Still gets me to this day 😢
I like to think that Toph eventually found it for him, since she's so amazing at feeling different types of rocks.
Oh would you look at that, Google knows it all =D
There's an official poster for the Legend of Korra that shows the original Avatar Gang and Korra's group, entitled "Old Friends" and "New Friends". Old Friends shows an adult version of the Gaang, they look to be around their thirties, and on that poster Sokka does indeed have his space sword with him. Since it's official material we can know for sure that he eventually got it back =D
But what about the boomerang?!?
Every time the ending of this series brings such a wholeness in my heart, for all of them. For some reason Avatar just gets to me, Katara, Sokka, Aang, Toph, Zuko, Iroh, Suki, they all just feel so real to me. Of course they're not but the ending just feels so right and the entire series feels so perfectly put together. I love Zuko the most because of his arc but all of them are amazing characters and every time I see a clip from this show I end up watching it all over again. It's great to see other people enjoying it so much as well.
Shane - "I want to watch the movie"
Calvin - "..Don't."
Summed up what everyone was instantaneously thinking
yup
That look on Calvin's face was priceless. 😂😂
My first and last comment for this series reaction: thank you so much for reacting to ATLA, Blind Wave crew! Like many here this was one of the reasons why my childhood was such a joy to reminisce.
The resolution to Ozai's defeat was satisfying for me as well. When I first saw it I thought energy-bending looked so cool and Aang was taught a new technique that we'd never seen before. Then after re-watching ATLA for who-knows-how-many-times I've come to really respect Aang and the kind of person he was after all this.
Because Aang was the Avatar and he performed amazing feats here and there we forget that he was a 12-year-old boy who had 12-year-old wants like playing and having a crush. Any kid from any of the four nations would have been just as happy-go-lucky as Aang was but the fact that he was an airbender and that air was the element of freedom added much more to his personality being a little too carefree at times. He had grown up so much through the entire series but the one thing that never changed is that he respected all life from his core. Now there lay the problem because he definitely needed to do something against Firelord Ozai and the only solution that had been presented to him was to kill him. Zuko even went as far as "take his life before he takes yours."
Now Aang realized that he couldn't be that carefree kid anymore because not only was his own life at stake but the entire world. The impending danger was all too real that even something as ancient as the Lion-turtle came to Aang's aid because the balance in the world was being seriously threatened. In my opinion, the Lion-turtle taught him the technique of energy-bending because it saw in Aang's core being that he was desperately trying to find a way to stop the threat without killing. The past Avatars were all willing to end their foes and I think because of that, the Lion-turtle didn't need to teach them the technique.
Energy-bending required that the Avatar's spirit was "un-bendable" or it will be corrupted and destroyed and this is exactly why the technique was perfect for Aang because despite everybody telling him to kill he stayed true to his core being, meaning his resolve was un-bendable and so the technique worked for him. This is why the ending was satisfying for me, because I came appreciate Aang's strength of character.
Okay that was longer than I intended LOL but again, thank you Blind Wave crew! Sad that there'll be no more ATLA reactions to look forward to but you are just getting started on FMA:B which is another favorite of mine so it's all good! :D
what lion turtle says is '' the days before we bend elements, we bend neutral energy, the energy within us''
I guess even the avatar whos been around for like twenty thousand or more years is still sort of new compared tosome of the old spirits of avatar
“In the era before the Avatar, we bent not the elements, but the energy within ourselves.”
I think I might cry right now. thank you for letting us be apart of your avatar journey :)
BTW you'll learn more about Lion Turtles in Korra. If you look back to season 2 when they were in the library, Aang picked up a book about lion turtles
+Allan Mena
Lion Turtles were also name-dropped in the Book 3 episode "Sokka's Master."
+Nate River They were featured in a book in "The Library"
Now that's how you roar like an angry tigerdillo. That roar honestly gave me immense chills, because of how epic and horrifying it looked and sounded. Aang in the Avatar State was just terrifying, most especially when you see everything shaking with all the elements coming to him like that. And the music, god the music! Just perfect!!
Katara freezing herself and Azula was epic AF!! To be frank, I was scared as shit as a kid because I thought that now meant she was going to be like Aang...frozen forever in ice...then I remembered she was a waterbender LOL
Azula crying like a baby just showed how broken she was in the end. Her father molded her into a powerful weapon he could use and in the end, she became a broken weapon.
I loved Zuko's speech at the end! It was not only satisfying to hear him officially end the war and to look to the future, but he's come so far from that angry angsty teen that was at war with himself and the world.
God, what a journey this was! I already feel empty again... No matter how many times I rewatch and finish ATLA, I'll always have that same empty feeling after. Anyways, I'm really glad to have gone on this journey again with you guys. I loved watching you all grow to love the show and characters as I and many others had 12 years ago. This show was something special and I'm glad you can appreciate it with us now :)
And yes, I agree! Even though a part of me wanted more, I still felt fully satisfied by the overall ending and not a lot of shows does that for me. Makes ATLA even more special for me.
*Also, go back and listen to the ending credits if you haven't yet!!!*

actually M. Night Shyamalan who directed The Sixth Sense made a film loosely based the show's first season and it was released in 2010. i suggest you give it a watch. it's not made by the same people, it's rather an adaptation for his audience. Some things are done uniquely though so i'd definitely recommend seeing it for interests sake

God knows when they'll start Korra, and it's still up in the air if they'll even react to the comics/movie/Honest Trailer of said movie. I feel so empty now that these are over.
Azula's breakdown is my favorite scene from any TV show ever.
She completely and totally SNAPS, and being helpless is the most horrendous thing that has ever happened to her, and AT THE SAME TIME she realizes that she lost to Zuko again, as she did her whole life until his exile, and she's so unhinged and angry and deeply sad and DERANGED that all she can do is scream and cry and sob and hope to burn everything that ruined her to ash - the ice cold witch of the Fire Nation, reduced to a defeated, crying, lunatic child.
And that's why Azula is my favorite character in my favorite show of all time.
I was kinda sad seeing her cry. She was the overlooked victim of ozai abuse.
The best series to ever grace a screen. Amazing 3-dimensional characters, gorgeous action that still holds up today, and a phenomenal story that keeps you engaged and wanting more and also sad when it ends.
You should definitely rewatch the series. I'm getting on Spring Break soon, I'm definitely going to watch the series again. It's my favorite tv show of all time.
Guys, you could make a "rifftrack" while watching the movie, so we can play it over the movie when we are watching it.
TeamFourStar did that with Dragon Ball Evolution and it was hilarious.
Joey Deguelle Yo that'd be awesome!.
Rifftrax did it and it was great
This has been a great ride guys, cannot wait for the legend of Korra!
Sad that avatar is ending but I'm excited to see you guys react to korra.
Fighter Pilot
YES PLZ PLZ PLZ.
I absolutely love that I've found these guys and their reactions. Four grown men absolutely over the moon about a kid's show. It's great! And the analysis! Breaking down a show like this, in so much detail, it's thrilling! Loved seeing your reactions guys!
Sometimes I come back here pretending there's a new episode...
*Cries Uncontrollably*
@Sarp Çelik damn it's been 3 years time flies haha
"I want to watch the movie."
For the love of all that is holy, don't subjugate yourself to such a vile piece of cinematic trash. Calvin is wrong, it's totally not fine on its own, it still suffers from poor acting, some of the worst direction I've ever seen, lazy and laughable choreography, terrible cinematography, crappy effects that looked fake as shit even when the movie released, cringy dialogue, one dimensional characters, and huge pacing issues. Please, for the love of God, don't watch it.
Or do so we can see your reactions. Either way works for me.
I have a great idea! Let's take this interesting story with a diverse range of characters with different personalities, except we change all of their personalities to mental copies of Kristen Stewart. That will make the story even better! What could go wrong?
They HAVE to watch it! It's like, a sort of initiation in the ATLA fandom lol
The mad lads did jt
Shut up 😂
How many earthbenders does it take to move one rock?
Katara beating Azula at the end, not by using her anger, but just by using her brain and her determination, is probably my favorite scene in the entire show.
If she would have tried to take her head on, she would have lost to Azula due to the comet.
Crazy that its finally over. I love this channel
When Azusa broke down it literally made me cry , she is definitely one of the best anime villains of all time
Yup, all 4 nations were at that ceremony, water, fire, earth, and.. Straight up swamp people
Omg, I just cried again lol I love TLA and this end was amazing! Would be cool to see a review about the Graphic Novels! And, I can't wait for Korra! Great reaction, guys!
Another completed series. ONWARDS TO LEGEND OF KORRA!
Before anyone asks again: YES, THEY'RE WATCHING KORRA. Not immediately tho
Oh good, thanks :)
Ivan21234 oh thank god 😥
Ivan21234 oh thank god
Der DennoN You got me there. I have no idea lol
If the movie were not Avatar at all, it would still be a bad movie.
Such a bittersweet ending. I don't think I'll ever watch another series like this
I can't believe that it is over, I watched every reaction of Avatar of yours since the beginning, its a little sad that its over. At least I have the Legend of Korra to look forward to.
God this show is amazing, hopefully you discuss Azula more because if feel like you guys didn't emphatize with what she went through. Keep up the awesome reactions guys, can't wait for Korra!
Yes, read the avatar comics and watch the legend of korra if you want most of your questions answered
Also please react to the Avatar chibi ep! They're all short and there's 3 of them I think, so you should be fine watching them in one sitting
As for the movie, while its horrible, in terms of world building it was somewhat accurate but cheaply done
This just showed up in my recommendations... and now I have to watch your entire thing! There goes my life.
Nobody went through as much as Zuko. From the beginning he never had the easy road. Not the most talented, not the smartest, not the strongest, all heart. Never gave up.
Advice: read the sequel comic
Now you must see The Legend of Korra, you will learn more about the Lion Turtle and also about the origin of the Avatar.
Guess I should watch Korra now, I have been meaning to watch it for three years, I guess time is finally here
Ali Irfan it's great, enjoy!
d f this is why I haven't been able to watch it yet, some of my friends says its not worth watching, so I'm not motivated enough to watch it.
I wouldn't say it's better than TLoA, but it's still a good show in it's own right. Even just for how it expands on the Avatar universe and history. It's written for an older audience, and tends to have darker themes than TLoA, I think my favorite part is how they expanded the bending forms to be influenced by more modern styles (like boxing, MMA etc.).
Ali Irfan I'm sorry your friends mislead you, but I understand where they may be coming from, when you start watching it you can't stop comparing it to TLA, and the first season might feel odd, because you still want to know more about aang and Co, but once you get over that hump you realize what a great show Korra is. Hope you give it a try, cheers.
Season 1 is good, 2 is trash, 3 is AMAZING, 4 is meh. Its up to you, its fine. It can't come close to Avatar's quality, and it certainly could have been much better, but its not a horrible show. Just a disappointing one, especially considering how good Avatar is.
Can I just say how lucky Ozai was that the Avatar he faced was the peace-loving, 'thou-shalt-not-kill' monk, instead of say, Kyoshi or Roku?
I cannot believe my journey is ending here as well, all that waiting each weak to see more and more. I gotta say this is the most powerful bond u have created with your audience due to this series. The real heroes are Blind Wave
20:15 Calvin are you serious!? Even if it wasn't related to ATLA it would still be shit! They EXPLAIN absolutely everything through narration instead of showing it to us. What happened, how they feel, everything! then there is the choreography of 10 minutes so they can move a tiny stone! Anyone can go and punch them in the face before they manage to move something, COME ON! Even as a separate movie, it's still shit!
This, this is so true; there are even many reviews of the movie on TH-cam by people who never watched any of the show, and they are all agreed upon how *horrible* that thing was.
And the dialogue, oh GOD don't get me started on the dialogue!
Lonkinella I think he means it would be harmless. It definitely wouldn't be "fine." The movie would mostly just fly under the radar if Avatar was not attached to it and it was just a poorly made fantasy movie, kind of like Lady in the Water. But, it's called The Last Airbender, so it will forever be a tainted, ugly part of this incredible franchise.
I would like to thank Eric, Aaron, Calvin and Shane for watching this incredible show and letting us experience this show most of us loved since our childhoods through your eyes. I really enjoyed your reactions they were always amazing, so sad they're over now, and I'm really glad that you guys loved the show, it is truly one of the greatest cartoon ever, it is the greatest in my opinion.
I love this show because it made me laugh, it made me cry, it made me think. It showed me the world is ugly as it can be, but also that every moment, no matter how bad, can be a moment worth remembering. It showed people of different genders and castes, each with their own stories to tell. Yet all of them came together, either through luck or assumed destiny. A show which takes you through an entire world, makes you meet people, care about them and teaches you the value of forgiveness and friendship. This is what makes ATLA one of the best shows ever created for me. The ending may have been satisfying to some, but I really wanted more to be honest, I wasn't satisfied completely and I always have this empty feeling whenever I rewatch the show, but it is what it is, still a phenomenal show! I really do wish people take the show more seriously because it really is more than "just a cartoon."
I loved the whole parallel between Aang, Zuko and Katara of how they all had a chance to kill someone but they didn't. Aang with Ozai, Zuko with Admiral Zhao and Katara with Yon Rha, I just found that to be really cool.
Azula's breakdown/downfall is done so well here, I always felt so bad for her when she was crying and screaming out blue flames, you can tell Zuko and Katara also felt really bad for her they just looked at her very sadly, they weren't happy and didn't celebrate at all after the defeated Azula, they just felt really bad for her.
Also did anyone find it really cheap on how Aang opened his final chakra to get into the Avatar State? He basically did just by hitting a rock. I thought this completely took away what we saw from "The Guru" episode and the whole philosophical depth of that episode, really wished he opened it in a better way that would make more sense and actually connect with that episode.
Zuko's Fire Lord ceremony was really cool too and also very different from his forefathers. No fire was lit anywhere and the ceremony happened during the day time and also no one bowed down to Zuko like people did before with his forefathers, also I loved how people from every Nation attended.
You guys should read the comics, it will answer some of your questions, I personally do not like the comics for many reasons and for the movie well no one likes that haha and I doubt you guys will too when you watch it.
And Aaron, there was supposed to be a Book 4, but it was cancelled because they sold the rights to Paramount and decided to make a movie series, each movie was supposed to be based off the 3 Books of ATLA, but we all know how the first movie went, it was terrible and I doubt their plan of making a movie trilogy will ever continue because the first movie was so bad, they should've just made another Book for the show, everyone would have preferred that.
Please do Legends of Korra, that is a really good show and I'm really looking forward for you guys reaction to that show!
Toph's line which is also the last line from the show "Well I think you all look perfect!" really gets me every time. 😭
9:44
Did you hear that, that's the sound of every Zutarian heart breaking into a million pieces.
gooooooooood thats what yall idiots get for think a stupid dumb cringe ship will happen
@@daniellaokeke2052 but it did happen, called kataang
p m his talking about zutara
@@maltmalt352 zutara didnt happen and still better than that mother son thinglmfao
Delightful.
A beautiful end to a fantastic series. While I'm sad that we're done, I'm so happy I got the chance to re-watch this series with you guys and re-experience the magic once again. Thanks guys!
1rst word in the show: It's
Last word: Perfect
i hope you guys do legend of kora next
b-rad sam yes plz
b-rad sam I wouldn't mind that either
i think they're already on it :)
korra haters haven't found this thread yet
Yeah can't wait :) for them to
I'm not sure I'm ready for this.
I wasn't. Shit. I'm feeling the same way I was when I first finished watching this.
There are comic volumes that you can read about. They basically act as an epilogue and aftermath story for the series. Also there is the Legend of Korra which is the sequel series, it's definitely worth watching the first season at the least.
I was so pleasantly surprised when I watched this episode the first time. I expected it to end like a lot of cartoons or kids movies where the hero doesn’t kill the bad guy but he’ll still fall of a tower or be turned on by his minions or some other way to dispose of him without it technically being the hero’s fault. But this was refreshingly different: the hero took an active role in disarming and neutralizing the villain, while also not resorting to violence. Really beautiful and powerful.
Guys for any people thinking to ask even more about Korra just going to put this here. The crew are going to watch Korra but they currently do not have a set time or day for it just yet. They have said though that they will not be jumping straight into it. Also the crew have said that the 2 episodes a week will not be continuing from this point on, for any show.
