Comment below which series you want to see next! We are watching Shera THIS THURSDAY, Attack on Titan next Thursday, and the remaining shows are Young justice, Teen Titans, and Star Wars: The Clone Wars
Will you guys ever react to Hunter x Hunter? It's legit one of the best anime shows ever! But outta three emaining shows you should watch Young Justice next.
It's too bad he never met Katara. I believe Bolin and Katara were in the South Pole together during Book 2, but they never interacted. Also, when he met Korra at the start of Book 1, it was almost like meeting Aang.
Technically Bolin was already in the South Pole at the end of book 1, when they went to Katara to restore Korra's bending. He probably had the freak out then, but it wasn't shown because of the situation with Korra and the overall sadness of the scene.
@@taylorfrench6722 The only thing I miss from korra (exl fire nation overall) was that they didnt do a single scene with katara & toph & zuko together or at least 2 of them at the same time. 4x13 had really good opportunity to do that and kinda sucks they didnt make that happen
I know, it's a show and all, but the fight threw me off a little bit. Su made herself a metal armor... Is this not the dumbest thing you could do against Kuvira? We saw Kuvira lifting up Varrick with the metal parts of their uniforms. Kuvira could have easily done the same or worse with Su in this fight.
@KEEY you do realize Kuvira is also wearing a suit of metal, right? And that Su is arguably about as good at metal bending as Kuvira is? Either one of them should theoretically be able to do it to the other, but apparently they don’t. Might have something to do with the fact that they can bend, whereas Varrick cannot.
@@KEEYBLADE I think it comes down to the fact that they can resist the other from bending the metal around them because they bend the same thing. They could both stand there and try to crush each other's armor into them but it is honestly way easier to just try and slash their throat with some shard lying on the ground.
Rule number one of magic systems: two masterful users of the same power have to be passively or actively canceling out that sort of tactic when they fight. Think of why jedi and sith bother with lightsaber fights when they “should” just be choking eachother out or tossing eachother around with the force. You have to break their concentration first.
Btw this HAS been explained in the lore but with bloodbenders. If they’re at least evenly matched, they can escape the grip of the other. (Katara did this to Hama and Amon did this to Tarlok)
"You give metal benders a bad name" lol imagine being told that by the person who literally created metalbending. If I was kuvira I would stop metalbending for the rest of my life after that.
Correct me if im wrong but i feel as though ive seen you before in A Goodwin TVs comment section as well, although could just be a different homosexual ninja.
I just noticed that the artistic brother doesn't take part in fighting. Shows you that some ppl use bending only for daily peaceful things. He might be earthbender and metal bender but he is not martial artist unlike the twins.
@@bkjeong4302 The guy stood up with his father against Kuvira when everyone bowed; knowing full well what could happen to him, and while not being a fighter. I'd say he is badass in his own way. He got guts, and integrity.
I just love how katara and toph is like “yeah our fighting days are over” and then there’s zuko being like “I can take this all day” when fighting zaheer - despite him being the oldest one 🤣
And on both sides. Plus the main villain this season was closely mentored by that family and raised alongside the current generation. Most badass family in the franchise.
Can we just appreciate the fact that toph is the still the strongest metal bender in the world. Even old age doesn't affect the greatest metal bender in the world. Now I get terrified when I think about her in prime😳😳
The fact that Toph never really lost a fight onscreen (unless you count Yakone or Bumi in the comics where they tied) and we only saw her before and after her prime makes the idea of a fully formed Toph...TERRIFYINGLY AWESOME!
@@LettsReact I just think about her prime. I can imagine the boulders she can lift and maybe a pillar😳😳. She is a great character and gives me goosebumps.
She was a problem at 12 years old She must have been a beast in her prime. She must have been feared cos it would have been impossible to defeat toph 1v1. People will be like u ever run into that blind bender u best run away. Kinda like Minato😂
I'm pretty sure Toph essentially admitted that she could not defeat Kuvira. With the threat that Kuvira poses to the entire world and all the lives that she could take if she continues on her campaign, if Toph had the power to defeat Kuvira she would've done so. But as Toph said this episode: *_"It will take EVERYTHING WE HAVE just to get out alive!"_* Toph knows she can't beat Kuvira, just as Katara knew she couldn't beat Unalaq in Season 2. That's why they accept that they must put their faith and trust in the next generation to fight where they no longer can. But Kuvira is the most skilled metalbender in all of ATLA/LOK.
One thing i loved abt korra is how siblings or family members bend together. No talking they know how to bend in unison its sooo fun to watch. Bolin and mako Eska and desna Wing amd wei Lin and su Korra and her dad Dope tag team combo
Everyone I've seen who has watched that fight always ooohhs and aaahhhs at the part where Su bent the rail plating around her torso into body armor in a split second while whipping away razors that Kuvira was launching at her. Probably my favorite part as well, until Toph came in with that land wave.
Sue's use of turning the sheet metal into a makeshift armor is by far one of the most creative ways we have seen any kind of bending get used. This also goes for the way she executed P'li in the previous season.
@@gerardlacroix6015 Aang also did it with Crytals. My point being that Sue made close to realistic functioning armor in a split second, She didn't just encase her body in something.
The suyin vs kuvira fight was my favorite 1 vs 1 in the entire show. The fact that it happened in such a short time really shows how refined metalbending really is and what metalbenders are capable of when matched up against one another.
the strength of moral that Zhu Li has is so amazing. Girl didn't even stay and mess things up for Varrick.. she did it to save the millions of people in republic city and risked getting compromised because of it Damn she is the goat
I like how Varrick is terrified of what he created. He invented the Avatar equivalent of the Nuclear Bomb only fueled by something readily available and he's a good enough person to say "NO! We cannot take this any further!"
Kuvira: *_"Do you realise what we could do with this kind of power?"_* Varrick: *_"Yes, I do! And that's why we've gotta put an end to it! What if it fell into the wrong hands?"_*
I personally loved this episode because it further showcased how powerful and dangerous Kuvira is as a villain. The absolute deadpan expression when Toph tried to insult her and the Beifong family quite literally running for the hills from her helped to reinforce just how imposing and threatening Kuvira is.
Aside from everything else, I'm just loving how Kenny totally called/predicted the whole "Zhu Li double agent, fake villain henchwoman," "pretending to turn while actually working against the villain from the inside" trope. I love faith in humanity displays.
i think there is a probleme with the link on patreon it says the video doesn't exist. anyway, I love your content and i'm exited to see it going forward with new series.
Notice how when they are earth jumping Lin unto the box thingy Bolin uses both hands but Toph doesnt. She has her hands behind her back like most of the time even tho earth bending usually uses a lot of feet and hands.
Unless you're Kuvira, because then you'd be powerful and dangerous enough to send the Beifong family quite literally running for the hills as they did in this episode.
This is definitely one of the most exciting episodes of Book 4. An all out rescue mission of Suyin’s family, with the addition of Toph in the mix. She knows how to put hurt in the dirt, especially when she dissed Kuvira!
When you think about it, Toph's comment kinda falls flat given that Kuvira just doesn't even care and Toph follows it up with literally running away from Kuvira alongside the other heroes.
Kuvira vs Suyin is my favorite 1v1 next to Tenzin vs Zaheer. Not only is it very refined but also innovative as we see when Suyin makes armor for herself. Also: HELL YEAH to Toph taking down that entire platoon of mechs!
I totally recommend She Ra as one of the series you continue after watching Korra. She Ra is such an amazing show that I just started watching, so it would be amazing to see your thoughts on it. It’s the PERFECT show to watch after LOK. It has AMAZING LGBTQ representation, perfect for Pride Month, and the show has such a beautiful story and a beautiful art style. It has amazing characters and a very team Avatar-esq group of fighters. All the characters are amazing and they each have their own stories and growth. Also it would be great to see Montana’s analysis of the mental health and the psychological symbolism of many characters in the show would be amazing to watch. also, we need more people to react to She Ra on TH-cam. I really hope that you pick She Ra as one of the shows that you will continue, I would definitely enjoy watching that!
@@GeneralLocooo when you respond with “ewww” to a comment that describes a show as having solid LGBTQ and mental health representation, that just makes you look like an asshole. Lmao
This is a strong possibility since they’re the youngest with 2 older brothers. There is research that supports that each consecutive son a mother bears has a stronger possibility of being gay (The Older Brother Effect). There’s also a strong possibility that if one is gay so is the other since they’re identical twins.
I wouldn't mind either, as in real time this is something that happens a lot with twins, many times one is straight, the other is gay. PS. Wei sounds like gay lol 🤣
@@ijayespinoza where have you read this? This seems...a bit... off-putting. I don't have any brother, only sisters, but even so, I don't think any gay person would like to think that a part of their identity is constructed because of others simply existing....
@@DankSouls37 you like it or not everything is dictated by biology. If I remember the research paper correctly is that the more kids woman has the less likely white blood cells are to attack the fetus and more female hormones get absorbed. Or something like that. I remember seeing that paper like 4 years ago
@@DankSouls37 He is correct, I am a gay dude but knowing that being gay is genetic isn't anything new to gay people. The research is there and does show a correlation with subsequent sons statistically being more likely to be gay. The chance is still like 2% after the first or second son and increases to 5% after another. Theres evolutionary theories about why this may be, whether to reduce mate competition with their older brothers or some other unknown evolutionary advantage. Gayness is in a lot of ways an enigma considering research would suggest that there is a genetic heritability but gay people often don't reproduce so it lends itself to the assumption that there IS an evolutionary advantage to having gay people be a part of a community because it has persisted throughout time, but we don't have a definitive why.
So excited for SHERA! The ride is just absolutely amazing. It's much like atla in that the four seasons were planned from the start so it's this one beautiful complete arc, very satisfying indeed!
Just for reference sake, a rail gun (which has a few different names) is a weapon that uses electromagnets to propel a ferrous object at extreme speeds, and due to those immense kinetic energy stored within the "shot" it has the potential to "punch" through objects and keep traveling as a deformed projectile. numerous games use this weapon and often have it capable of firing through objects
When you think about it, Toph's comment kinda falls flat given that Kuvira just doesn't even care and Toph follows it up with literally running away from Kuvira alongside the other heroes.
20:35 "She did that point before!" The moment it reminds me of is when she did the same point in The Blind Bandit. "Sounds to me like youre scared boulder!"
I really like how they kept Toph so in character and it's not all overly warm and fuzzy of a resolution but it's resolved in a good way where the family can move on. Sometimes I think some family members have it in their heads in real life if the relationship isn't exactly as they wanted it/envisioned it to be then it's not worth having and that's just not realistic or healthy. Toph and all of the earthbenders here were amazing 10/10 for the fight choreography. Also...poor TV :D
All we know from Canon and confirmation is that Suki and Sokka stayed together and lived in Republic city until their later years so I don't think Sokka would NEVER cheat on Suki! There are more men with darker skin tone in the Avatar universe and Sokka has no romantic feelings towards Toph he just admired her like a trouble making younger sister.
@@DarthKay093 Even if Sokka didn't cheat on Suki, he could still have a kid with Toph. Maybe Sokka and Suki took a break, maybe they had an open relationship, maybe Suki passed away, or maybe Toph just wanted a donor. Who knows! Suyin at least shares some core personality traits with Sokka and it's fun to speculate.
That's my headcanon. There used to be a webcomic on Tinder where Suyin was conceived in a threesome between Sokka, Suki and Toph. And Lin's father was the actor who played Toph on Ember Island (obviously many years later when Toph was an adult). This was before the official comics introduced Lin's actual eventual father. The artist was aatkaw, unfortunately it got deleted and the artist doesn't have the original comic either, but made a new comic of Lin's conception (in a way more graphic NSFW way this time, so beware)
I never noticed this before but they fully animated Zhu Li to look down and to the left which is traditionally a way to spot if someone is lying (disproved ofc)
The prison was made of wood and rope so the Beifongs couldn't earth/metalbend it. Also, being suspended in the air must mean there is a limited range to earthbending. Otherwise, the Beifongs could have escaped on their own.
I was really looking forward to this, especially you guys enjoying Siu versus Kuvira. One of my favorite fights! Please do yourself a favor and watch the Clone Wars as your next series. It starts out slowly but ends up having a truly fantastic, dark story.
I never understood people that said that Kuvira was a weak enemy because like yeah she's "just" a bender but she's?? An AMAZING bender! Like the fact that she learned metal bending from Suyin (the daughter of the person who created metal mending) and she BEAT HER in like a minute
Indeed Kuvira is one of the greatest fighters in the history of ATLA/LOK. Even Toph essentially admitted that even she could not defeat Kuvira. With the threat that Kuvira poses to the entire world and all the lives that she could take if she continues on her campaign, if Toph had the power to defeat Kuvira she would've done so. But as Toph said this episode: *_"It will take EVERYTHING WE HAVE just to get out alive!"_* Toph knows she can't beat Kuvira, just as Katara knew she couldn't beat Unalaq in Season 2. That's why they accept that they must put their faith and trust in the next generation to fight where they no longer can. But Kuvira is the most skilled metalbender in all of ATLA/LOK. She could definitely beat Old Toph without much difficulty. Prime Toph would be more of a challenge, but Kuvira is the superior fighter and would probably still win anyway.
@@TheGreater-ScopeVillain I think that if Toph lost that fight, it would only be because of old age and not because of ability. I think that Toph in her prime could have beaten Kuvira easily, but that still stands that Kuvira is a fantastic and very powerful bender. She is certainly not weak
Suyin’s father was shown in the comics, it wasn’t officially confirmed but he literally has the exact same hair as Su and toph clearly took a liking to him
The point that toph does to kuvira is something she does a quite a few times, usually whenever she is calling someone out directly. Since she's blind she stands with her ear facing them instead of looking them in the eye, honestly a really cool detail
When you think about it, Toph's comment kinda falls flat given that Kuvira just doesn't even care and Toph follows it up with literally running away from Kuvira alongside the other heroes.
so far, my favorite reaction was 1st, the season 1 finale when Korra gets her bending back (sad). 2nd was when Montana realized that P'Li was dead. I was expecting the 3rd to be the Kuvira vs Sue fight, but there's still some intense moments left to fill that last position.
I really like that dragon eel spirit. The way it's animated is mesmerizing to watch, and the actor has such a nice voice; but, I really understand their point of view. Why would generally passive spirits get involved with yet another bout of violence between humans? They have nothing to gain from it but pain, the only diference is that Korra is asking their permission while Kuvira takes as much as she pleases from them. It's easy to get why they'd remain neutral.
@@JamaicaZ160R1793010A Depends on how you define "better." Since AtLA spirits have almost always been portrayed as having the capacity to be temperamental and even fickle or vindictive and cruel. Hell, a major arc of a spirit within Book 2 is reconciling their bigoted ideas of humanity when they see evidence that humans can be more than what they original thought. The spirits aren't a monolith, and they aren't portrayed as inherently better than humans. They can be hostile and bitter, but they can also be naive, vulnerable to being taken advantage of, which is the main reason they don't want to be involved in human affairs because of how often it leads to conflict, not just among humans but the spirits as well. The Dragon Eel even specifically mentions how Unalaq forcibly compelled the spirits to lash out and attack, another example of how the relationship between spirits and humans isn't strong enough to shoulder the burden of an alliance.
@@alliandrablack7751 I meant overall. The spirits sent inherently better than humans moral wise and Unalaq did that, but the fact is when civilizations merge, compromise will be needed to make it work.
It wasn't that Kuvira stopped fighting. Rather, it was that Toph and all the others heroes *_ran away_* from Kuvira. After all, Toph essentially admitted that she could not defeat Kuvira. With the threat that Kuvira poses to the entire world and all the lives that she could take if she continues on her campaign, if Toph had the power to defeat Kuvira she would've done so. But as Toph said this episode: *_"It will take EVERYTHING WE HAVE just to get out alive!"_* Toph knows she can't beat Kuvira, just as Katara knew she couldn't beat Unalaq in Season 2. That's why they accept that they must put their faith and trust in the next generation to fight where they no longer can. But Kuvira is the most skilled metalbender in all of ATLA/LOK.
@@TheGreater-ScopeVillain The fact she made no attempt whatsoever to stop the Beifongs from escaping (despite having plenty of reasons to) indicates she didn’t want to take her chances. Katara vs. Unalaq is an unusual scenario because the latter had a spirit army to back him up, and that’s something that cannot be defeated without spiritbending. In all likelihood he just sent some spirits to get her to back down because he himself or his human soldiers wouldn’t cut it.
I myself am rewatching the incredible journey that is Clone Wars, so wetter you decided to watch this series pilot next or further down the line I just hope you can enjoy it and analyze it as you do this series. I’m excited to see your take and opinions on how the stories get better and better through the seasons, building up to wetter expand the universe you already know from the movies, or be a staring point to understand and get to experience the development of very complex and loved characters You are an incredible duo from what you bring to each reaction.
Toph at age 85: my back is killing me, I'll go home Bumi at age 112: let's fight some fire benders during Sozin's comet! I guess I know who's the strongest earth bender

Thank you. The best reaction channel ever. You guys have a long way to go. I wish you the best👏👏🙂🙂

A+ character development.
It’s a moment we will all never forget
Bolin represents all the ATLA fans. He freaks out every time he encounters one of the gaang members
It's too bad he never met Katara. I believe Bolin and Katara were in the South Pole together during Book 2, but they never interacted. Also, when he met Korra at the start of Book 1, it was almost like meeting Aang.

@@askyeyv7039 Especially since ALL THREE OF THEM showed up this season, even if one only got a cameo.
Ah his reaction to Zuko was pure gold
“you gave metal benders a bad name”The fact that toph,the creator of metalbending said that just makes this line even better
I’m sure Kuvira felt the sting from that line deep inside, underneath that poker face of hers.
The only one qualified to say that.
@Ricardo Alonso Rojas I suppose so.
@@mathies3598 indeed.

*“You give metalbenders a bad name!”*

One of the few times Kuvira didn't have a snappy comeback ready.
"With great power come responsibility"
I hear Bon Jovi in the background everytime I hear it
I'm pretty sure Kuvira just didn't care. Both she and Toph know that Kuvira would win in a 1-on-1 fight anyway.

That point to Kuvira was really similar to whenever she was pointing to The Boulder in the episode ‘The Blind Bandit’.

COMMENT BELOW
OLD TOPH
Toph but if Kuvira got one good hit on her it would be over since her body is much more fragile now so it’s definitely a risk
Toph HANDS DOWN NO QUESTION!!!!
Toph, no question
Toph
"You give metal benders a bad name" is the reason this is my favorite episode.
I personally loved this episode because it further showcased how powerful and dangerous Kuvira is as a villain. The absolute deadpan expression when Toph tried to insult her and the Beifong family quite literally running for the hills from her helped to reinforce just how imposing and threatening Kuvira is.
Montana: *recognizes the CGI alongside Kenny this time*
Me: (Palpatine voice) "She grows stronger in the Force. A powerful Sith she will become!"
Toph’s parents were so controlling that she ended up being too carefree
That's Kinda The Point Of Why She Wanted Her Daughters To Have Freedom.
@@hannahburke7328 Yeah, I'm just saying she took it too far, went to the other extreme.
Aside from everything else, I'm just loving how Kenny totally called/predicted the whole "Zhu Li double agent, fake villain henchwoman," "pretending to turn while actually working against the villain from the inside" trope. I love faith in humanity displays.
If you can't wait and want to see the ENTIRE FULLSCREEN BATTLE with 3 minutes of extra footage, head to the patreon now!
patreon.com/lettsreact
Great video🙂🙂😁😁
i think there is a probleme with the link on patreon it says the video doesn't exist. anyway, I love your content and i'm exited to see it going forward with new series.
Notice how when they are earth jumping Lin unto the box thingy Bolin uses both hands but Toph doesnt. She has her hands behind her back like most of the time even tho earth bending usually uses a lot of feet and hands.
Patiently waiting. Y’all should’ve used Su Yin as the thumbnail her creating the armor was the single best moment of the season
it's such a Beifong move too
This episode proves that you should never mess with the beifong fam🪨
Unless you're Kuvira, because then you'd be powerful and dangerous enough to send the Beifong family quite literally running for the hills as they did in this episode.
Operation Beifong and the last stand are the best episodes of season 4 like they are so good
22:55 Bosco the bear was nearly the only non-hybrid animal in the Last Airbender, hence the gaang being so confused when they first heard about him.
This is definitely one of the most exciting episodes of Book 4. An all out rescue mission of Suyin’s family, with the addition of Toph in the mix. She knows how to put hurt in the dirt, especially when she dissed Kuvira!
When you think about it, Toph's comment kinda falls flat given that Kuvira just doesn't even care and Toph follows it up with literally running away from Kuvira alongside the other heroes.
I would kill for a Keeping up with the Beifong’s
There would be a crazy bending duel every episode
Kuvira vs Suyin is my favorite 1v1 next to Tenzin vs Zaheer. Not only is it very refined but also innovative as we see when Suyin makes armor for herself. Also: HELL YEAH to Toph taking down that entire platoon of mechs!
I totally recommend She Ra as one of the series you continue after watching Korra. She Ra is such an amazing show that I just started watching, so it would be amazing to see your thoughts on it. It’s the PERFECT show to watch after LOK. It has AMAZING LGBTQ representation, perfect for Pride Month, and the show has such a beautiful story and a beautiful art style. It has amazing characters and a very team Avatar-esq group of fighters. All the characters are amazing and they each have their own stories and growth. Also it would be great to see Montana’s analysis of the mental health and the psychological symbolism of many characters in the show would be amazing to watch. also, we need more people to react to She Ra on TH-cam. I really hope that you pick She Ra as one of the shows that you will continue, I would definitely enjoy watching that!
ewww why tf shera lmao
@@GeneralLocooo because it’s a good show
@@GeneralLocooo when you respond with “ewww” to a comment that describes a show as having solid LGBTQ and mental health representation, that just makes you look like an asshole. Lmao
This,
This is perfect.
Exactly the reason they should watch Shera.
I couldn’t have said it better.
I just love how Bolin reacts just like how we probably would if we ever met someone from ATLA och LOK irl
I think we can also all agree this episode is amazing due to amount of Lin content we get
That guy who patted Bolin is Wei, a lot of people think he’s gay, which is something I’m totally for.
This is a strong possibility since they’re the youngest with 2 older brothers. There is research that supports that each consecutive son a mother bears has a stronger possibility of being gay (The Older Brother Effect). There’s also a strong possibility that if one is gay so is the other since they’re identical twins.
I wouldn't mind either, as in real time this is something that happens a lot with twins, many times one is straight, the other is gay. PS. Wei sounds like gay lol 🤣
@@ijayespinoza where have you read this? This seems...a bit... off-putting. I don't have any brother, only sisters, but even so, I don't think any gay person would like to think that a part of their identity is constructed because of others simply existing....
@@DankSouls37 you like it or not everything is dictated by biology. If I remember the research paper correctly is that the more kids woman has the less likely white blood cells are to attack the fetus and more female hormones get absorbed. Or something like that. I remember seeing that paper like 4 years ago
@@DankSouls37 He is correct, I am a gay dude but knowing that being gay is genetic isn't anything new to gay people. The research is there and does show a correlation with subsequent sons statistically being more likely to be gay. The chance is still like 2% after the first or second son and increases to 5% after another. Theres evolutionary theories about why this may be, whether to reduce mate competition with their older brothers or some other unknown evolutionary advantage. Gayness is in a lot of ways an enigma considering research would suggest that there is a genetic heritability but gay people often don't reproduce so it lends itself to the assumption that there IS an evolutionary advantage to having gay people be a part of a community because it has persisted throughout time, but we don't have a definitive why.
“You give metalbenders a bad name!”
Yo Toph is an absolute icon!
And the fact that Kuvira just didn't care in the slightest at that comment makes her an icon in her own right.
Notice how the first metal bending toph did she close the door on the 2 guys and it was all folding and rugged but now its the same so smooth
the animation during this fight is always fantastic to see
19:43 first Todd Haberkorn and now arm blades. The creators really did watch FMAB.
Zhu Li really IS synonymous with BETRAYAL. 😆😆
That Kuvira Suyin fight had an amazing korraography.
In this house, we stan Juicy
So excited for SHERA! The ride is just absolutely amazing. It's much like atla in that the four seasons were planned from the start so it's this one beautiful complete arc, very satisfying indeed!
The part where Su used a piece of metal to use as armour. Like mother like daughter.
I can't believe how far we have come and how much you've grown
I love Lins face when Bolin asks about her dad. Also I can't not hear Bon Jovi after Toph says "You give metalbenders a bad name"
I just love LoK for having all these awesome female heroes and villains ❤️♀️💪
Just for reference sake, a rail gun (which has a few different names) is a weapon that uses electromagnets to propel a ferrous object at extreme speeds, and due to those immense kinetic energy stored within the "shot" it has the potential to "punch" through objects and keep traveling as a deformed projectile.
numerous games use this weapon and often have it capable of firing through objects
Glad to see I'm not alone in the comments. Soon as I saw the thumbnail my mind was like "You give metal benders a bad name!"
When you think about it, Toph's comment kinda falls flat given that Kuvira just doesn't even care and Toph follows it up with literally running away from Kuvira alongside the other heroes.
I’m so proud y’all felt the fruit juice , Happy Pride 🍉🏳️🌈
20:35 "She did that point before!"
The moment it reminds me of is when she did the same point in The Blind Bandit. "Sounds to me like youre scared boulder!"
Katara and Toph: You gotta leave it to the next generation
Zuko: HONOOOOOOR!!! 🤜🔥🔥🔥🔥
I really like how they kept Toph so in character and it's not all overly warm and fuzzy of a resolution but it's resolved in a good way where the family can move on. Sometimes I think some family members have it in their heads in real life if the relationship isn't exactly as they wanted it/envisioned it to be then it's not worth having and that's just not realistic or healthy. Toph and all of the earthbenders here were amazing 10/10 for the fight choreography. Also...poor TV :D
The real character development here is Montana's CGI vision
(Edit: for those who've been following the journey that is)
A moment of silence for the TV. We thank you for your service, television.
This is hands down the best fight in both series
I wish they’d just answer the question we still don’t have an answer to: DID SOKKA AND TOPH DO THE DANCE WITH NO PANTS AND CREATE SUYIN?!
:D
All we know from Canon and confirmation is that Suki and Sokka stayed together and lived in Republic city until their later years so I don't think Sokka would NEVER cheat on Suki! There are more men with darker skin tone in the Avatar universe and Sokka has no romantic feelings towards Toph he just admired her like a trouble making younger sister.
@@DarthKay093 Even if Sokka didn't cheat on Suki, he could still have a kid with Toph. Maybe Sokka and Suki took a break, maybe they had an open relationship, maybe Suki passed away, or maybe Toph just wanted a donor. Who knows! Suyin at least shares some core personality traits with Sokka and it's fun to speculate.
That's my headcanon. There used to be a webcomic on Tinder where Suyin was conceived in a threesome between Sokka, Suki and Toph. And Lin's father was the actor who played Toph on Ember Island (obviously many years later when Toph was an adult). This was before the official comics introduced Lin's actual eventual father.
The artist was aatkaw, unfortunately it got deleted and the artist doesn't have the original comic either, but made a new comic of Lin's conception (in a way more graphic NSFW way this time, so beware)
nah, Suyin´s father was an engineer that Toph met when the Gaang was planning up Republic City, it´s in the comics
Zhu li in this ep is amazing.
The duel between Suyin and Kuvira is imo the best combat in the entire Avatar series hands down.
I'm inclined to agree.
I never noticed this before but they fully animated Zhu Li to look down and to the left which is traditionally a way to spot if someone is lying (disproved ofc)
Earthbending is one of my favorite bending art second to Waterbending because of of strong stances, punches, kicks
Great reaction I can't wait to see next episode reaction!! Only a few episodes left!! A d I can't wait to She-ra
omg I've been on a trip for the last 5 days and now I get to binge 2 reactions of yours in a row Im so happy
The prison was made of wood and rope so the Beifongs couldn't earth/metalbend it. Also, being suspended in the air must mean there is a limited range to earthbending. Otherwise, the Beifongs could have escaped on their own.
this wouldn't work on kyoshi, she could raise earth from the bottom of the ocean.
I was really looking forward to this, especially you guys enjoying Siu versus Kuvira. One of my favorite fights! Please do yourself a favor and watch the Clone Wars as your next series. It starts out slowly but ends up having a truly fantastic, dark story.
I never understood people that said that Kuvira was a weak enemy because like yeah she's "just" a bender but she's?? An AMAZING bender! Like the fact that she learned metal bending from Suyin (the daughter of the person who created metal mending) and she BEAT HER in like a minute
Indeed Kuvira is one of the greatest fighters in the history of ATLA/LOK. Even Toph essentially admitted that even she could not defeat Kuvira. With the threat that Kuvira poses to the entire world and all the lives that she could take if she continues on her campaign, if Toph had the power to defeat Kuvira she would've done so. But as Toph said this episode:
*_"It will take EVERYTHING WE HAVE just to get out alive!"_*
Toph knows she can't beat Kuvira, just as Katara knew she couldn't beat Unalaq in Season 2. That's why they accept that they must put their faith and trust in the next generation to fight where they no longer can. But Kuvira is the most skilled metalbender in all of ATLA/LOK. She could definitely beat Old Toph without much difficulty. Prime Toph would be more of a challenge, but Kuvira is the superior fighter and would probably still win anyway.
@@TheGreater-ScopeVillain I think that if Toph lost that fight, it would only be because of old age and not because of ability. I think that Toph in her prime could have beaten Kuvira easily, but that still stands that Kuvira is a fantastic and very powerful bender. She is certainly not weak
Easily one of the best episodes of Avatar period. Su Yin vs Kuvira is probably my favourite fight in terms of action.
That season 4 theme "duh nuh nuh nah nuuuuhhhhh" (yall know tf what I'm talking about) and all it's iterations through are epic
Toph saving the day once again
11:18
*toph sniffles
Kenny : TOPH IS Sad SHE HAS FEELINGS
😭😂😂
Montana being happy to see CGI is so cute😁❤ Also this is one of my favorite Fight's in the whole Avatar Universe💪✌
Suyin’s father was shown in the comics, it wasn’t officially confirmed but he literally has the exact same hair as Su and toph clearly took a liking to him
The point that toph does to kuvira is something she does a quite a few times, usually whenever she is calling someone out directly. Since she's blind she stands with her ear facing them instead of looking them in the eye, honestly a really cool detail
When you think about it, Toph's comment kinda falls flat given that Kuvira just doesn't even care and Toph follows it up with literally running away from Kuvira alongside the other heroes.
Omg i got scared for a second at the end lol RIP that poor tv... you guys are too funny xD
New setup is professional and organized we love to see it
22:26 I love how Kenny took it personally as twin was insulted
Toph and Zuko are still alive. There is still time for their life changing trip together
😩😭😭
so far, my favorite reaction was 1st, the season 1 finale when Korra gets her bending back (sad). 2nd was when Montana realized that P'Li was dead. I was expecting the 3rd to be the Kuvira vs Sue fight, but there's still some intense moments left to fill that last position.
I really like that dragon eel spirit. The way it's animated is mesmerizing to watch, and the actor has such a nice voice; but, I really understand their point of view. Why would generally passive spirits get involved with yet another bout of violence between humans? They have nothing to gain from it but pain, the only diference is that Korra is asking their permission while Kuvira takes as much as she pleases from them. It's easy to get why they'd remain neutral.
The issue is the show portrays them as inherently better than humans when they're just as flawed as them.
@@JamaicaZ160R1793010A Depends on how you define "better." Since AtLA spirits have almost always been portrayed as having the capacity to be temperamental and even fickle or vindictive and cruel. Hell, a major arc of a spirit within Book 2 is reconciling their bigoted ideas of humanity when they see evidence that humans can be more than what they original thought. The spirits aren't a monolith, and they aren't portrayed as inherently better than humans. They can be hostile and bitter, but they can also be naive, vulnerable to being taken advantage of, which is the main reason they don't want to be involved in human affairs because of how often it leads to conflict, not just among humans but the spirits as well. The Dragon Eel even specifically mentions how Unalaq forcibly compelled the spirits to lash out and attack, another example of how the relationship between spirits and humans isn't strong enough to shoulder the burden of an alliance.
@@alliandrablack7751 I meant overall. The spirits sent inherently better than humans moral wise and Unalaq did that, but the fact is when civilizations merge, compromise will be needed to make it work.
it's interesting how Toph was probably one of the first ones to know about Lavabending, with Sun.
Montana: It’s CGI 🥰
Kenny: Yes 🥺
Toph's reputation as a great Earthbender probably stopped Kuvira from fighting her rather than Toph's current skill level.
She doesn’t even need her arms to bend these days.....
It wasn't that Kuvira stopped fighting. Rather, it was that Toph and all the others heroes *_ran away_* from Kuvira. After all, Toph essentially admitted that she could not defeat Kuvira. With the threat that Kuvira poses to the entire world and all the lives that she could take if she continues on her campaign, if Toph had the power to defeat Kuvira she would've done so. But as Toph said this episode:
*_"It will take EVERYTHING WE HAVE just to get out alive!"_*
Toph knows she can't beat Kuvira, just as Katara knew she couldn't beat Unalaq in Season 2. That's why they accept that they must put their faith and trust in the next generation to fight where they no longer can. But Kuvira is the most skilled metalbender in all of ATLA/LOK.
@@TheGreater-ScopeVillain The fact she made no attempt whatsoever to stop the Beifongs from escaping (despite having plenty of reasons to) indicates she didn’t want to take her chances.
Katara vs. Unalaq is an unusual scenario because the latter had a spirit army to back him up, and that’s something that cannot be defeated without spiritbending. In all likelihood he just sent some spirits to get her to back down because he himself or his human soldiers wouldn’t cut it.
I actually recommend you to make the last two episodes as one because the second starts just the same time the first one ends. Love your reactions
Toph & Katara: My fighting days are over now..
Then there’s Zuko in the North Pole: ..For HONOR..!!!
Blasts fireball against the Red Lotus☄️💀
I myself am rewatching the incredible journey that is Clone Wars, so wetter you decided to watch this series pilot next or further down the line I just hope you can enjoy it and analyze it as you do this series.
I’m excited to see your take and opinions on how the stories get better and better through the seasons, building up to wetter expand the universe you already know from the movies, or be a staring point to understand and get to experience the development of very complex and loved characters
You are an incredible duo from what you bring to each reaction.
Yooouuunnnggg Justice. It's so good!
I love Toph’s implication that Katara could have folded Unalaq at any time.
Toph at age 85: my back is killing me, I'll go home
Bumi at age 112: let's fight some fire benders during Sozin's comet!
I guess I know who's the strongest earth bender
Never realized that, but that is definitely a good point
Bumi was too good
