Aang wearing that over exaggerated armor was a inside joke about how Nickelodeon kept pressuring them to make toys by putting the characters in outfits like that for no reason
Damn, thats so cool. There must be ton of other inside jokes like this
I'm so glad they didn't cave. Those crazy armors would not fit the characters
I think they were also poking fun at that hyper stylized, static kind of animation too.
yeah, and the aang not being able to move was a joke with characters having complicated designs and bad animation.
@@flyflip87 Just give me Kyoshi warrior Sokka.
It's not even that he can't bend, he's in a group of the world's best benders. Katara, Aang, and Toph are all child prodigies. A bunch of Mozart's.
Exactly.
facts, the greatest waterbender, the greatest earthbender, and of course the Avatar.
Zoka is like their Salieri then, without the whole "ill kill him" part tho
The whole series, Korra included, has this recurring theme of child prodigies, how they interact with the world and people around them, and vice-versa.
@@DADEFUYE Even without being the Avatar Aang was still a prodigy
What makes this episode my favorite is that because Avatar keeps proving to is that non benders are powerful too. We have Suki, Ty Lee, Mai, Piandao, Jet, the pirates from season 1 hell even Zuko knows how to fight without bending. But Sokka was always the non bender joke. everyone in the gaang made fun of him before for being a non bender. it addresses something so small but also so significant, and gives it closure
Zuko at this point of the serie is a much better swordman than firebender tbh
@@matiasgonzalez1360 I agree. Even though his progress as a bender doesn't look as clear as Katara's, if you pay attention you can really see him getting slowly more powerful. But I am not gonna lie, since we didn't see he bend much between season 2 finale and mid season 3 it feels like he became much more powerful without any reason to, I don't think he would be training when he just got everything he wanted and was living his life at the palace. Then he found new meaning in fire bending with the dragons and that only made him stronger
@@DankSouls37 Nah, he was totally training. He knew Aang was alive, and that he could comeback to bite him in the butt. Plus you really think he wouldn't want to try and impress daddy with his new firebending prowess?
Toph teased him once and the others not at all. About other things they did but that's siblings and friends fur ya.
DankSouls well the reason why Zuko became much stronger was because his mental condition was always his biggest problem. He relied solely on Anger and Hate and didn’t know the real purpose of Firebending. I guess he became more stronger since the season 2 finale since he was a lot more confident at this point, even tho he was confused. And even in Ba sing Se he was pretty strong there too. But when he learned from the dragons, he found inner peace and strength and that gave him much more power. If you watch his last fight and compare it to the first one, you’ll see his difference in style. At the beginning Zuko always attacks head on he literally chases and rushes at his opponents. In the end, he barely moves, he becomes a defensive/counterfighter. He is always Calm and concentrated. And as Iroh taught him, he used all 4 forms of bending and worked it in his firebending, so during the second half of season 3 he became really strong.
A cool easter egg that you guys missed. When Toph bends the comet material into shape, she forms the Nickelodeon logo!
Yessah
Yeahh
“Space earth”- Sokka
Ye we kinda knew that already but good attention to detail
@Nio37 😂😂
Fun Fact: The master that just trained Sokka also trained Zuko in the sword. And he was based off the martial artist that helps with the avatar's movements.
WOW, didn't know that!!!
cite your facts please
Zuko honestly should have used his swords more often having fire and swords against an unarmed bender is a good advantage
Awesome Matt you can literally google it in 2 seconds lol
@@fahmi_simin639 canon is just a marketing term. It means nothing. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is supposedly canon. Korra is supposedly canon. The Star Wars prequels and sequels are supposedly canon. But for someone who doesn't like them, they can still enjoy the originals. If you don't like the added value of a secondary work, you can still enjoy the primary work by ignoring it. If you do like them, you can include them if you want. In fact, you should be able to seperate and combine the two at any time and enjoy them for what they are apart as well as together. Saying that they must be included or must be excluded is just putting rules on your own enjoyment of a piece of fiction: its not necessary, and it might make you enjoy it less.
I love how this episode shows why Sokka was so obsessed with making schedules, it was him overcompensating for not being a bender
I don't think he's overcompensating. I think that strategy and planning is just part of his personality.
@@JalapenoFlower exactly I don't think it's overcompensating to keep them on schedule during an invasion plan...
Well, he's good at it. And they need it
Not over compensating when it's clearly needed, aang is 12 and toph is 10. Literal kids and katara is mature for her age but she's been shown to stray too
@@ILikeCHEEZ9 toph is 12 she said so in show and its on google
These edits on sheera's face is killing me lmao
The fact that they do it every episode makes it honestly more funny and legendary

Ever since I seen them make a black sword out of a meteorite , I haven’t seen a cooler sword

@@marmyeater shisui
Guts maybe?
@@marmyeater yes.
Meteoric iron is an important substance in many cultures. It is thought to have already been tempered by spirits or gods before striking the earth. It’s very important in Tibet where it is known as “thokcha”. It’s reserved for spiritual or ritualistic items and weapons.
Haven't those types of metals been shown to usually be weaker than those found on Earth?
John Campos rhymes with Sokka... coincidence? I THINK NOT.
@@Sweet_Venom0027 only if used raw/not refined properly. Iron is iron, no matter where it comes from, but in meteorites it's typically mixed with nickel, which can weaken the resulting steel if you don't use pressure/temperature to separate the two metals.
Which makes it even crazier when you think that yue became the moon spirit so she could have sent it to him
@@jasonandrews1770 That would be pretty hilarious. She sees her ex struggling and just shoots a meteor at him
Katara, Aang, and Toph are able to manipulate nature like that meteorite
But only Sokka is able to cultivate it.
Moh Moh stop spamming
The thing I love about this season is how you continuously get bangers of episodes like this and the last one and they’re not even nearly the best, soo much good stuff coming
THE BEACH 🏖😏
@@scarfaceENT "Yeah?!?!?!'s" in high supply next ep
It hurts so much having to wait to see their reaction to Ember Island players.
Excuse me? Sokka's Master is the best episode.
Dekimate the puppetmaster and sozins comet final episode would like to disagree with you ^^
“Extra Long really Pointy Arm,” is really funny to me because Piandao is voiced by Robert Patrick who played the T-1000 in Terminator 2.
YOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Waitaminute isn’t that cabe gallo from scorpion??
decoy_bait indeed it is.
Holy fuck my duude. I didn't even know he did voice acting 🤯 I hear it!
noooo haha
Katara's joke to Toph about marrying Sokka might have made her feel more embarrassed than they realize.
20 yrs from now “Sokka’s coming” takes on a different meaning 0,0

@@greywarden5513 laughs in Su
"It's starting to heat up"
The absolute silence that came after killed me
Fun fact: Piandao taught Zuko how to wield his swords.
3:14 That is always a rough scene, until you see that Iroh is just acting.
6:26 Dialogue is really great in Avatar
12:28 Oh... uncle Iroh...! :)
15:07 There's a lotus on the door also.
“He has the high ground Anakin” That killed me 😂💀
Ahh, Iroh. Making EVERYONE feel inadequate.

The "inclusivity intensifies" was hilarious hours love the edits I be feeling the same way sometimes
You guys missed that Toph bent the meteorite into the shape of the Nickleodeon logo.
"This poor man...." 👀 The reason Sokka picked that material is because the teacher said "choosing the right material is the most important step in crafting a sword" So to pick from a meteorite, which rarely touches down on Earth is to have a sword as unique as Sokka himself.
True, but the analysis they made that Sokka used the meteorite when he previously could do nothing, (and had the help of all his friends and master), that is still a decent high level observation. Both of your guys' points certainly came up in the writer's room when formulating this episode.
@@jy5490 Not denying that. Just that the show explains in the teachings why he chose the meteorite and not the other materials before him.
And just like Aang, Katara, and Toph humbled the meteor, they’ve been humbling Sokka since the beginning of this show.
*satire*
Sokka can't bend, but he's the team-strategist. He forms plans, thinks outside the box, comes up with battle-strategies, and is a decent detective (Although, Katara has him beat)
You know what, I never thought the way Sheera just did about the meteor sword. The fact Sokka wanted to be apart of helping the after effects of the meteor, his way of being apart of it was making something good out of a would be bad situation.
AW man me realizing this journey with them is almost over😞
Theres korra
We got Korra. You know they're gonna watch it.
@@BlackGirlMarvel they already on book 4
The Cod Nah, it’s definitely not as good as ATLA but the choreography is fire 🔥
@@thecod2345 avatar is a near perfect show, and sequels are never good as the original. If avatar didn't exist, korra wouldn't be hated that much. Korra is a dope show
Fun fact: that suit of armor aang wore in the scene where sokka was doing “retail therapy” was actually supposed to be a joke from the creators to their sales team. they team asked the creators to make aang wear some over dramatic armor so they could make an action figure to make more sales but the creators said it’s out of character and doesn’t fit the theme. but they kept bugging them so the creators were just like “ok fine, here u go. do with this what u will” lol
“You added a rainbow.”
And forgot the massive waterfall.
In all seriousness though this is one of the best sword fights I’ve seen in any media. It’s not just cool choreography but smart use of tactics and the environment.
The reaction to Irohs swole body killed me😂😂😂😂
Meteorites have a special type of iron, presumably from being exposed to the unique conditions of traveling through space. If I remember correctly, “space iron” is a radical isotope, therefore different than the general type of iron we all know. So it’s unique, special, just like Sokka.
Piando is the definition of a dang dope character.
He’s Nation Neutral and took on Sokka purely for his humility and even creativity!
Just… best character and best dynamic!
Everybody starts feeling some kinda way when they see swole Iroh. 😆💪
Zuko making his cover name Lee is basically:
Person: What's your name?
Zuko: "uhhhh John Smith"
Iron built like a Jojo character
Stand user: Iroh
Stand name: [Dragon of the west]
Well, Diamond is unbreakable! Beat that!
Or Dragon's Dream. If Iroh had been the stand user instead, it might have turned out to be a better arc in Stone Ocean.
No
NO one realizes that the next episode is gonna be the darkest one...
Wait was the meteorite a gift from yue cause she the moon
Oh shit
Hol'up!
Holy shit😮😮😮
whoooa...
this doesn't really fit with _our_ reality because in real life, lunar meteorites have a pretty small metal content (metallic meteorites are thought to be from the cores of large asteroids that got blasted apart), but who's to say what the moon is made of in the _Avatar_ universe?
Chotto matte?
We in here
We out here too
Great reaction.
Fun fact: the visual design of the sword master is based off of the actual martial arts master that worked with the creators to design all the bending. Plus the actor who voiced him played the T-1000 aka the liquid metal Terminator who could turn his arms into blades from Terminator 2: Judgement Day.
been re-watching avatar with yall the past few days and i gotta say, yall are THEE best reactors on youtube, your jokes, commentary, energy is amazing! ya'll catch stuff i didnt the first time and your personalities are so unique and amazing
Iroh: -gets super buff in a few days
-Jojo awaken men theme plays-
Me: I have to do it 😂😂😂😂
Not to dissuade your enthusiasm, but I think he was putting in work the whole time he was in there.
@@SunGawdRa yes, what else is he supposed to do. Wait, he did hit on the female guard.. i guess that's something. Ma boy still smooth even on a rough situation, yea boi!!!
Sun RA good point
Never mess with your elders.
They can be from too weak to walk or even stand to literally buff as freak that you take you down!
11:19 my interpretation is that he chose the meteor because its what sparked him to go on this journey to find his worth to begin with. he only started having these feelings and thoughts of inadequacy when the team all worked together to minimize the damage from the meteor strike. thats probably why he chose the meteor for his sword (also they're rich in various metals like iron, nickel, zinc, etc.)
The white lotus symbol is also on sokka's sword on the bottom of the handle.
'He has the high ground Anakin'.... I really have found a great channel😂
Its 1 in the morning here in Germany, currently in bed, saw the notification...
sleep can wait for now
I just realized what Sokka said after the blind joke! The dude actually said, "you've never NOT seen anything like this". LMAOOO 😂😂😂😂
Fun fact about Master Piando: after he left the fire nation army, a whole squad of soldiers showed up to try and take him back. He was able to beat them all back. From that day on, the fire nation army left him alone.
last time i was this early Roku was still the avatar
the last shape of the space earth that toph formed with her bending skills was the nickelodeon symbol/icon
Love how this episode is about discipline and growing up for Sokka, and with Iroh we see the results that has through his sheet strength and discipline
What’s also cool is Meteor Steel is actually a thing you can get today. Some really impressive knives and other pieces were crafted using it. The black color of his blade is actually only possible with a black staining technique, but Man at Arms did a great attempt to make a replica of Sokka’s sword. Check it out, it’s dope as hell.
The waterfall Piandao has Sokka paint is heavily based on the Gullfoss Waterfall in Iceland, famed for its rainbows. Prior to beginning the final season, the show's creators traveled around Iceland, gathering inspiration for what the Fire Nation landscape would resemble.
When Toph is playing with the meteorite rock at the end of the episode, one of the shapes she forms is a "splat". This is a reference to the Nickelodeon logo at the time of the episode's airing.
The armor that Aang wears in the weapon shop is inspired by an early toy design of Aang with an armor suit. Additionally, the left gauntlet of the armor is similar to the right gauntlet design of the Soul Calibur character Nightmare.
The white lotus appears a number of times in Piandao's castle, as do designs inspired by the lion turtle.
Piandao suggests Sokka to use the name "Lee" while he is in the Fire Nation, as Lee is a common name. This is the same name Zuko used while living in the Earth Kingdom during the second book, while he was trying not to be discovered as being from the Fire Nation.
What Piandao tells Sokka about imagining the sword as part of your own body mirrors what Suki told him about the fan in the first season. Zuko said something similar to Lee in "Zuko Alone", adding that his two swords are not separate, but two halves of the same deadly weapon.
Robert Patrick, Piandao's voice actor, played the T-1000 in Terminator 2: Judgment Day. The T-1000 could literally make its arms into swords, paralleling what Piandao says to Sokka when comparing the sword to a "long, very sharp arm".
Piandao is based on Sifu Kisu, the fighting instructor for the show.
The weapons store shopkeeper resembles Iroh and is even voiced by the same voice actor.
I saw someone once who said that individually Sokka and Aang are genius' in their fields, but put them together and they're the definition of the "My last two brain-cells" meme, and boy if that ain't the truth
Fun Fact: Master Piandao is voiced by Robert Patrick aka T-1000 from Terminator
Really?????
"Have you seen this boy?" *Holds up picture of Aang*
Wait WHAT?!
Sheera waving her little hand is everything that is good in this universe.
2:32 always doing her dirty 🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀
One of my favorite episodes, it displays the best qualities of Sokka and also his importance in Team Avatar.
Master Piandao’s character design was based on the real life appearance of the martial arts consultant of the show Sifu Kisu and was voiced by Terminator Judgement Day actor Robert Patrick (T-1000)
This. Is about the shape Iroh was in during the war. Before his son died. A total beast.
Nah think about it. If that sword master was part of irohs squad then he HAD to be strong ASF . He might have dropped them😂
Just wait until you see what Toph's love life will be like.
7:01, the second time Aang burned Katara🔥🔥
Avatar reactions from both you guys AND Aege&Chill in the same day? Luckkkky!
Sokka: I can’t do anything
Lupa: Yes
😂😂
Lee is also a reference to the Koreas, Last names were given to the people randomly based on the royalty, Kim, Lee n Park are the most common last names in the country.
*Going through a hard time right now and these reactions are getting me through. I just like hanging out with y’all 🥺*
This is one of my FAVORITE episodes I was waiting for this day lol
Fun Fact: the meteor shower is a reminder that Sozin’s comet is making its way to earth.
Yo y’all intro is literally the only one I let play in it’s entirety 😂 literally the only one it’s fire yo 🔥
Lmao @ Roshi's "N*gga!" When sokka revealed he was water tribe because that was exactly my thoughts when he did that, but whatever the white version is
People always get hung up on how fast Sokka learns swordplay, but it's not like he's starting from nothing. Throughout the show, he's shown at least some proficiency, or implied proficiency, with:
- A boomerang (a pretty specialized weapon, if you think about it)
- A watertribe club
- A machete
- A whalebone dagger
- A spear (wielded against Zuko in Ep. 2, he probably wouldn't have tried using it unless he thought he could fight with it)
- Kyoshi warrior fans
He's smart and capable, and able to pick up on new skills quickly. Training with Piandao wasn't about becoming a warrior, but rather about realizing he already was one, and that he was worth more than he thought. He needed confidence.
I literally can’t wait until they get to the Puppetmaster lol
You guys mention how Sokka picked up swordsmanship so fast but keep in mind that he’d already spent most of his life training in melee combat. It’s kinda like how Aang picked up water bending from Katara so quick back in book 1, the skills from air bending were semi-transferable.
One of my favorites! The growth, the teachings... then Iroh! Level epicness!
Can't wait for my other favorite!
Meteorite is actually used i some blade works. But its super expensive and still needs steel incorporated to make a good lade. Its often used as Damascus in layers.
Two things: The armor Aang tries on is an inside joke with the writers and staff with a little disagreement they had with Nickelodeon and it's sort of PR team. The short version is, Nick wanted to make toys and all other kinds of marketable stuff kids would want, they wanted Aang to look "cooler", the directors just slapped together the edgiest shit possible just to see what PR's response would be; they loved it, but thankfully it never got released.
Second: Toph can bend rocks, metal, and minerals from space. This would imply she could in theory bend the moon. The problem is she probably doesn't know what the fuck the moon is, let alone where it is.
I don't think the moon is an astronomical body in Avatar. It's a spirit.
@@Eleni1002 It can be both. The Spirit Koi are both spirits, but in the end they're still fish.
@@pwojo9776 In the Harmonic Convergence, you can see the planets aligning. None of them has a moon. So that leaves us with three options.
1) The moon as we know it doesn't exist.
2) Earth is one of those planets that are really close to the sun and the moon is too small to be seen.
3) The moon is hidden behind earth.
@@joevillarreal7708 That wouldn't stop her from trying at least once.
@@Eleni1002 The sun exists as like a physical thing and not like a spirit, eclipses are proof of that. Therefore the moon must be a physical object too.
15:33 The splat Toph made was suppose to the Nickelodeon splat I think
Info bomb. The sword of Mars, wielded by Attila The Hun, was made from a comet. The lore behind the sword is that it fell in a metal ball, and was a gift from god to Attila.
every time these videos come out im busy doing something and every time i put it off to watch. and EVERY time i feel its worth it
12:32 By far one of the best reactions in the history of the chanel ...
thanks for the reply button 🤣
The rainbow Sokka drew was from those hippie guys from Book 2 when they travel through the Badger Mole cave way to Omashu.
I know this is an old video but I had some thoughts about the speed of Sokka's training that only occurred to me on rewatch.
Lots of people say that they kind of rushed Sokka's experience with sword training because they have limited time to work with, but the more I thought about it the more I realised it's all basically an extrapolation of his existing experience and talents. He's a planner, we've seen that since forever, Sokka's a good strategist who thinks outside the box and can problem solve exceptionally well, but when he's caught off-guard, he kind of flounders. He usually picks up but it's the strength of the group that makes up for his shortcomings in not being able to react quickly to a problem.
All Piandao's training focuses on exactly the fast thinking that Sokka hasn't really cultivated up to this point. It's not that Sokka learned how to be great with a sword in a day, it's that he learned to direct his existing skills in a faster pace, how to apply his strategic thinking more calmly. Commit to the battlefield, understand its situation, realise how the greater context of the surroundings can be used to support yourself. He's always been good at these things, but this is where he learns the confidence and thought process to do it in the moment.
Sokka hit his lowest point, and was opened to the greatest change
16:37 I never thought that. The order of the white lotus being what it is and how helpful it can be in a difficult situation, and that’s why Iroh made such a big deal to find a new tile.
This is one of the reasons this show was so great everyone had a purpose even the comic relief
take a shot every time they say “yeah?”
" More like a really long super sharp arm"
-Sokkas Master 2020
I get you all are trying to figure out a greater meaning to him choosing the meteorite for the sword, but honestly it’s just because it’s cool to have a sword made of a meteorite
"Starting to HEAT up"
Me: Sokka would be proud 😂
Zuko must be pissed water tribe be catching up to him so quick katara get on the level of his 17 years of training in a couple months and sokka becomes a decent swordman in a day
Your hair looked sick this episode Lupasan
The head canon of Yue watching Sokka use this space sword with the meteor she gifted him.
Sokka’s frustration is understandable being in not only the only guy in the group that can’t bend but everyone else is a prodigy
Aang became the youngest master of his element until Jinora
Katara taught herself to be good until she got a master and became nastier
Toph became the greatest earthbender while blind and then changed her element for ever with metalbending
8:32 foreshadowing of the Lion Turtle
This is one of those episodes that reminds me you really have to do elaborate mental gymnastics to make all the events of the show fit within the timeline it sets for itself. The three seasons taking place over less than a single year is completely silly and not believable, but it's still a great show so I guess it's not super important. If they just went back to season 1 and had Roku say you must defeat the fire lord before the comet comes in 3 years instead of one year, things would feel so much more correct. Sokka went from an ass beating by the butler to becoming a good swordsman in HOURS.
I am 100% here for the headcanon that Yue sent the meteor for Sokka's space sword. We know she's keeping an eye on them from her appearing to Aang in the first episode of Book 3. I just really like the idea of Sokka's moon girlfriend looking out for him and doing him a solid every now and then.
(SPOILERS)
Also a big fan of the theory that she lent extra strength to Katara in her fight with Hama. I know Katara is a better bender, but she'd only just learnt the technique - Yue giving her a little boost makes sense.
So by your logic, Yue somehow knew that by sending a meteor to near their campsite, it would make Sokka feel insignificant and insecure about his place in the team, which would lead them to go shopping in that particular shop, where Sokka would find and admire one of Piandao's swords, and then the shop keeper would comment how Sokka had a good eye and tell him how awesome Piandao is, then Aang would come up with the idea for Sokka to train with a master, then Piandao would accept Sokka as his pupil because of his humble attitude, then Piandao would tell Sokka to make his own sword instead of just giving him one that fits, at which point Sokka would remember the meteor and come back for it to use for his sword? Yue foretold all of that? I don't know, it seems a little far fetched.
Oh also, how would Yue send a meteor? She doesn't have control over everything in space just because she's in space as well.
I swear at the start of the video the amount of laughter is unbelievable
Theory: did Sokkas master initiate him into the ancient secret society? That lotus tile was specifically handed to him. And each member has one. Just saying.
Way back in the day it was basically impossible to refine iron into steel without the right tech. However, meteorites get burned up so much that there would be steel. So the earliest steel swords were actually from meteorites.
However, it looks like steel tech does exist in the avatar universe. So I think Soka just wanted the meteorite because it's cool.
Edit - I would also like to mention that the White Lotus organization did actually exist in Chinese history. They can be traced back to the Yuan dynasty. And I don't want to talk to much or it might spoil stuff in the show.
