    I like how everyone has the same reaction to Azula’s defeat, we would’ve been satisfied to finally see Azula get what was coming to her. But when we see her wail in a complete emotional and mental breakdown, you can’t help but feel immense pity for her. You realize that she was the product of a horrible and abusive relationship with her father and you wished that for a moment Zuko and her sister could’ve came together as siblings and make things right.

Only Avatar the Last Airbender, master of entertainment could help things, but when the world needed it most, the series ended. Several months have past and my brother and I discovered the new master of entertainment: a TH-camr named named Sean Tanktop. And although his reaction skills are great, he has a lot to learn before he’s ready to save anything. But I believe, Sean can save the world!

    Azula’s ending is always amazing but hard to watch. She’s been seen as either a monster or a tool by the adults that she wanted to care for her, had the expectation to be perfect all the time, and the unexpected burden of leadership all at the age of 14.

      She really is a fascinating character. From the moment Ozai realized her potential, he shaped her to be his perfect little war machine. So much so that she never had a chance to grow in other vital areas, such as true friendship. As a result, putting her in any other situation than war or politics leaves her more useless than a salmon in the desert. You can actively see this in The Beach. She has no idea what to do with herself, and has to rely on mimicking Ty Lee.

      So Ty Lee left her home since she didn't want to be "part of a matched set" and didn't mind joining the Kyoshi Warriors because while the warriors looked like "part of a matched set" from the outside, the warriors themselves didn't see themselves as such.
      The Kyoshi Warriors still saw each other as individuals with personalities, desires, wants and needs.
      People can wear a uniform (aka Police, firefighters, Doctors etc.) and seem identical. That isn't the issue, the issue is when you are also stripped of your individuality, that is when you disappear as a person. That is when you are no longer "Ty Lee" but "quintoplet #4" and are irrelevant and almost worthless an a person.

    Katara's first battle with a firebender: hardly being able to create ice to freeze the soldier
    Katara's last battle with a firebender: completely freezes the opponent and used the opportunity to her advantage to chain them up
    Katara has come a long way...Sokka is lucky to have such a talented sister. A waterbending prodigy
    Had it not been for the popularity of Lord of the Rings, Nick wouldn't have asked Michael and Bryan to come up with an adventure series like this one. So not only do we have the creators to thank for this absolute masterpiece but also LOTR indirectly leading to its creation
    . The first episode titled The Boy in the Iceberg and the last titled Avatar Aang is a great way to summarize how Aang went from an all over the place childish boy to a fully realized Avatar. Doug may be the granddaddy of Nicktoons...but Avatar TLA is the DA VINCI of Nicktoons. This is evident by putting together the first and last words spoken in the series: It's perfect

    Thanks for making these videos. I’ve very much enjoyed them and I love seeing full-ass adults crying at a show I’ve loved since I was ten; it really does hit harder as an adult. I found these reactions this winter in Chicago , which was very difficult for me because of covid, seasonal depression, and other personal issues I was grappling with, and I marathoned the videos you had released already to distract my anxiety and the week to week releases after that gave me a sense of stability, so thank you. And for the record, I very much loved the raunchy humor juxtaposed against children’s media.

    If Azula had had uncle Iroh's teachings, she would have been able to draw her fire breath and break free from the ice, just as Zuko did back in season 1. It's a nice detail that once again shows how different things could have been if Azula had a better influence/guide. The final Agni Kai hits so deep because, like the music score behind it, it's incredibly tragic. Two people from the same starting point, ending up on the opposite side. As amazing as Zuko is, and as masterful as his (redemption) story arc is, without uncle Iroh it never would have happened.

    so idk if anyone's clarified this yet, but the lion turtle didn't give him the *power* to take away bending, it gave him the *knowledge* that it was possible and how to do it. basically like he said, in a pre-elemental bending era of the world, really spiritual and gifted people were able to bend the energy (chi) within living things. energy (chi) is where the elemental bending abilities stem from and that can be seen throughout the show when Ty Lee, who is a chi blocker, can hit the correct pressure points and chakras to temporarily block her opponents chi (or stop their flow of energy). so by learning that energy bending was a thing from the lion turtle, aang thought to use it to bend osai's energy and permanently chi block him from ever FIRE bending again (and since he's not the avatar he can never bend/learn another element). some ppl think its a bit of a deus ex machina, but I'm okay with it because A) it makes sense and is consistent w the world building B) if any character's capable of having unbendable energy it would be aang bc his unwavering goodness and finally C) because it teaches a valuable life lesson to kids that it's ok to listen to wise advice from others but to stick to ur gut instinct and to stick to ur moral compass. loved ur reactions btw its been a beautiful journey

    One thing to think about with the deus ex of the Lion Turtle giving Aang the energy bending power: they tie it into the theme that had been building up for Aang's arc.
    The turtle says "The true mind can weather all the lies," and "To bend another's energy, your own spirit must be unbendable."
    Aang was only able to bend Ozai's energy by being unbendable. When everyone was telling him he needed to break with his values and kill Ozai, he refused. So the external struggle and the internal struggle were solved by the same act.
