I know I said that the Life of Katara was coming next, but as I said on twitter, I'm waiting to do my video on her because new content on her character is being released very soon, so I wanted to get her whole story in the video. Hope you guys understand! Instead, this is a video I've been wanting to do for a while because this story is just so amazing, and I really enjoyed breaking it down. Enjoy the video!
My personal head cannon is that a few air nomads did survive, married into the earth kingdom or fire nation in disguise, and that their descendants *SPOILERS* are the ones who gain airbending after harmonic convergence in Korra season 3. There’s also a strong case for ty lee being a air nomad descendant, with her acrobatic skill and similar eye color to aang. Just my personal opinion
I remember when I read this comic for the first time. I actually cried because of how horrible Aang felt after he found out how the surviving air nomads ended up dying in the hand of the Fire Nation. I’m honestly glad that this wasn’t animated because the topic was a bit too much for children. I personally think that the air benders with tattoos are the ones who definitely died because they couldn’t hide their true selves. The ones without the tattoos most likely survived and married with people in the Earth Kingdom or maybe even in the water tribe or Fire Nation. Remember when Bumi got his air bending powers after the Harmonic Convergence? He was the only known character with Air Nomad ancestry because he was Avatar Aang’s son. But I also think that the other air nomads were the descendants of air nomads as well. Some of them really had the spirit of an air bender. Especially people like Kai. I also believe that Ty Lee might have an air bender ancestor because her athletic abilities are close to the air bending style.
I have a theory that the Sandbenders are also descendants of Airbenders. First of all, they were also described as being nomads. Secondly the environment they live in almost necessitates they be covered from head to toe, which would also be the perfect disguise for Airbenders with tattoos. Thirdly, they travel using boat like land sleds propelled by sail, using a style of earthbending similar to airbending, which creates "whirlwinds" of sand. Lastly, I couldn't think of a better place in the whole world where Airbenders could totally hide, out in the open, where they could be safe from the Fire Nation. They could easily assimilate into the Sandbender tribes, the clothing would hide their tattoos, and with sand being so light and susceptible to being carried by wind, Airbenders could even openly use their Airbending powers by disguising it as sandbending. The desert is also devoid of many resources the Fire Nation would have use for, so those nomadic Sandbender tribes would most likely go unthreatened. If Iroh could learn how to apply a waterbending technique for firebending purposes, then it's not a stretch to believe that the Sandbenders learned some airbending techniques for Earthbending purposes. I don't see a reason why other than having an airbending influence, they'd prefer a boat like vehicle propelled by a sail over just bending the sand like waves and "surfing" the dunes.
Aang's lonliness being the last of his people is a subject they really couldnt touch on enough in the series, which i really wish they did. They kinda glossed over it really quickly, when in reality Aang's trauma is deeper than Katara's, Zuko's, and Sokka's combined.
I agree with this completely. I wish they made another comic about Aang struggling about losing his people during like his late teen years and him making peace with it eventually.
This just breaks my heart for all the air benders who were lured there to their death. Who knows how many went with the hope that maybe just maybe there were others who survived, only to be ambushed and murdered. Ugh I love this show soo much it never ceases to amaze me ❤️
Jennifer Vail yeah it is sad. Reminds me of the museums that often take items from other cultures and puts it on display...and they ppl who own the museums profit. Sometimes it’s ok to put things on display if the ppl from that culture give the item. But i don’t think that’s always the case.
@@leviloveserwin1809 but the thing is, the country it originates from can't maintain the artifacts. Probably because they dont have the equipments and facility to do so. Thats why I think if we want to preserve them then it should stay somewhere with the resources to do so, until its origin country has built the necessary needs. Or else the artifacts would just crumbled away..
Well I got bated I thought this was going to be on the original pilot episode. Little did I know I was get something even better, an addition to the story.
If this episode was made it would’ve been one of the funniest and most powerful episode. Also if Aang wasn’t the last airbender then it would probably would’ve been called “Avatar The Airbender,” or something along those lines
I've been wondering something since i read the Kyoshi novel and found out about this comic, a sort of theory about the Air Nomads that appear throughout the Earth Kingdom after harmonic convergence. We've been told that due to their high spirituality, all air nomads were born benders, however, on the Kyoshi novel we learn that if a nomas strays from this spirituality path, their air bending suffers severely, diminishing their power. So, we know that on the attack to the temples with the intention to wipe out all airbenders, some were able to escape and hide until eventually the Fire Nation baited them and killed them. But what if some of the nomads that escaped, brought with them babies that... Being babies, weren't indoctrinated in the ways of the nomads, they hid them in the earth kingdom without knowledge of their heritage, and as they were never directed in this "Spiritual Path", despite being supposed to be airbenders, they never developed their bending, they just lived as normal earth kingdom non-benders and had descendants that, eventually, after harmonic convergence where the world itself sought to find balance, these descendants got their air bending potential woken up?
This definitely should've been an episode. It truly would've been quite the defining moment in the series. However, I'd imagine that for the time (early 2000s), Nick probably would've considered this plot too dark. All though, I'd say finding Monk Gyatso's bones is pretty dark, but bones most likely pass some sort of quota. Personally, one of the reasons I wanted a Book 4 was to see Aang deal with the struggles of losing his people, to see him actually grieve. All though it is touched on in season 1, it's pretty evident that he's forced to shelf his feelings, in a sense, for the greater good, which is to train/master the elements so he can defeat Firelord Ozai. Would've been neat to see him returning to the temples and conducting some sort of airbender ceremony in honor of those that were killed. Just being able to look inward, if only for a moment, free of Avatar duties and just be. As an adult, I could certainly see him doing something annually with his family to honor the airbenders; however, when Tenzin's born, the ceremonies become less somber as the years go by. Also, keeping the whole "kids show should teach solid life lessons" aspect in mind, it could've been a great opportunity to highlight grief and its many facets.
It's actually the opposite. The farther back you in eras of TV, the more you could get away with. So they could easily ait this on TV. It's bit until recent years that now TV is finding a nice balance of what's ok for kids while still being entertaining for teens and adults
If this trap.really happen all over the world. That means many airbender died after the purge. They died hoping they can still survive after the purge that's so depressing (Sorry for my english.still learning)
Briar Black there’s also the ongoing popular theory that Ty Lee looks to be a descendant of the Air Nomads who survived the purge and intermarried into the Fire Nation
"Making sure her death was not in vain." I'm pretty sure Katara didn't know why her mother died until Yon Rha revealed to Katara that it was about searching for the last Southern Waterbender.
Have you seen the theory about how they weren't looking for Katara, the actual last water bender of the Southern Water Tribe, but Hama who had escaped recently around that point?
Jansen Haneline Hama escaped much earlier. We can see her escaping still having brown hair. Kya’s death and the events in the seasons 3 are maximum 10 years apart. She just could not age that fast.
I'm pretty sure that she could infer it, based on the fact that waterbenders were hunted down and that she escaped. Obviously her mother had something to do with her survival.
Oh god! I really wish that was an episode! This is just amazing and would probably land in my top 15 episodes. Seriously why weren’t all the comics made into a series?
It's not graphic at all. They already showed Monk Gyatso's skeleton in one of the earliest episodes of ATLA. This is just implying the last surviving air nomads were killed
I truly think that this missing story information deserves to be added into the updated version of the ComicBooks about (AVATAR: THE LAST AIR-BENDER) & I truly think it deserves to be added in the all new version show series as well.
I remember seeing these videos in my Harry Potter phase and wonder what show this was, and a year later my avatar addicted Ass coming back to watch them jdkdjsjje
It would've been great if this was an episode since along side the episode where he visits the Eastern air temple it would've giving a well reminder that aldo Aang is always goofing around he still deep inside feels the pain of being the only one of he's entire people
I remember seeing this comic. Like this is the episode I wished actually was on the show. I always felt him being the last of his kind was pushed over in the series and wasn’t talked about much. This would had been a great addition to everything in ATLA
Great vid, thank you for sharing, I always love learning new ATLA canon. Just real quick, though, as of Book 1, Katara didn't know that the reason her mother was killed was because she lied to that firebender to protect Katara. She thought her death was the result of a firebender being typically evil, and didn't know her mother sacrificed herself. So, making her sacrifice count wouldn't have been a motivator for Katara to become the best waterbender she can be.
Hey MovieFlame, have you seen the unaired, original pilot episode of ATLA? Nickelodeon recently streamed it live on YT, and it's really interesting to see the changes the creators made from that OG pilot. For example, Katara's original name was Kya, which is now her mother and daughter's canon names. idk, I feel like it be something you'd be interested in lol
I have always felt there could be more survivors. Nobody can catch them all. Or I can always write a fanfiction where air nomads return into Korra's time as Aang as their leader and shows other nations they are not weak. Ps. What happened to the air nomad relics? Where they collected after war? I hope so.
I like to think Airbender refugees are the ones who developed chi blocking over time to hide their bending while still using their swift/non destructive combat skills
Or that the some air benders just walk through the spirit portal! Just like in the legend of Korra, a true master of air bender, can literally astral project, what if some survivor physically send their spirit to the spirit world
I saw a theory that they assimilated with neighboring countries and hid the fact that they were airbenders. So some people in the earth nation are descendants of air nomads. Airbending also has a tie with the spiritual side which is why in the 3rd season of LOK some earth nation people were able to awaken their air bending from the harmonic convergence.
I find it interesting Aang tried to destroy the connection to his past lives in the comics and gained a newfound appreciation for them(though never faces blame for a blatant decision of his own fruition). Yet, when Korra has the disconnect inflicted upon her without trying to do so herself. Her story faces flack over it(Even though she grows an appreciation for why there's deeper meaning for the Avatar.) Which begins her _Legend_ to become more understanding, compassionate and enlightened while simultaneously dealing with the trauma.
DAMN....I LOVE this even as I am horrified...my sister has always held out hope that some survived. and it turned out she was right...but it was the tragedy that let them be vulnerable to try to seek out others like them that allowed the firebenders to pick off the ones who had survived.
Lucius Malfoy voiced Admiral Zhao😱. This would have been a very sad episode but, it would also be seriously incredible and would add much more depth to season 1.
Still not a good theory, Ty Lee and her sisters are from the upper class, with enough status to be enrolled in the same academy as and become friends with the princess.
Great video as always and yeah I think it would have been a great video but they probably didn't do it since The Blue Spirit episode was somewhat similar, Aang going out on his own and getting captured by Zhao, and since they didn't know how well the show would do back then it probably would have been best not to use the same plots in multiple episodes
Taking this story and running with it. Do a limited series focusing on the Airbenders who either escaped the temples or were out traveling at the beginning of the war. Series opens with Aang disappearing and Fire Nation attacking the temples. We get Gyatso having a heroic death and probably defending escaping children and bison. We see the Fire Nation in full genocidal mode enacting destruction and capturing Airbenders, using those stolen relics. Some who have morals help a few children escape and hide them in their own families (for the Ty Lee theorists) Most that escape the purge end up hiding among the Earth Kingdom, vowing never to use their Airbending, and starting families (in a way explaining Harmonic Convergence on who received Airbending) But would probably end up hella dark
A big thing to consider on why the majority of Airbenders would’ve been killed is that since they are such a spiritual people they all would’ve migrated back to their temples to celebrate and observe the 100 year comet. Then the fire nation could easily pick off whatever stragglers that remained
Yeah. I have watched avatar over 100 times. It’s so amazing to experience the plot of a episode, that I don’t know of yet. I’m trying to not watch any of it until I forget it all.
I remember hearing about this chapter, I think it is really unfortunate that they didn’t make that episode, it would’ve nicely patched up the plot hole of how all airbenders died when they were NOMADS
This is one of the saddest things I've ever heard. While this would have added so much to aangs story I'm kind of glad he didn't have to go through this too especially after the great loss he felt when he found out his people was truly gone. But I'm glad we saw the air nomads come back in Legend of Korra with Aang probably smiling down at them from his place in the spirit world :)
This episode would have had a very dark concept. Imagine all those real life events where people get lured into a trap by serial killers only to disappear and never again be heard of. Like those airbenders
I'll never understand how korra can still go into the avatar state after losing the connection. Roku described it as all the past avatars directing their power into the avatar. Yet korra has no past avatars to direct. Yet she still is a beast
I still find it upsetting that the writers killed off all of the airbenders (sans Aang). I think it would have been really neat (especially come Korra’s time) to have seen more airbenders. Not only is it highly unlikely that the fire nation would have successfully wiped out enough airbenders/members of the air nation at their temples *before* they had a chance to warn one another of the attacks, but the air nation are a people of NOMADS. Meaning, there were likely dozens (if not hundreds) of air benders roaming the earth just doing their thing. I find it extremely hard to believe that all of them were lured in by the traps the fire nation set for them. Instead, I would have liked to have seen these nomadic air benders who escaped the genocide of their people assimilate into the earth nation, and maybe even the fire nation colonies over time. They don’t bend. They don’t tell their families or their children. Maybe they let the art of air bending die out as to preserve not only themselves, but what would have been a dying culture. We see many similarities with certain characters and the air nation. Ty Lee, for example, moves much like an air bender and sports the hazel/grey eyes and lighter hair. Very uncharacteristic of the fire nation. Do you know how fun it would have been for her to have found out she descended from a people her nation had tried to wipe out? Descended from a people that she and her friends were hunting? Then we see Azula’s and Mei’s reactions to learning of their best friends ability/heritage. Would Azula be conflicted trying to take down Ty Lee? Would she hesitate? Would Mei jump in to save Ty Lee from Azula, much the same way we see her do this at the Boiling Rock? Aang could have tracked these people down and re-taught an entire people air bending. He would have been the last airbender, but not in the way the writers wanted us to believe. He would have been the last air bender who knew how to bend.
Butch Hartman put on his channel a video of Danny Phantom reuniting, no animation, but he got the original voice actors to record dialog for it. If only somebody can get the connections to have the same done for this, assuming ZTE doesn''t sound crazy different now
I suppose it may have gotten cut for being a repeat of the Blue Spirt, but maybe in another timeline they could have looked into mixing the two stories... like the Yu Yan archers were sick but they also never really show up again, so they could have had Zhao capture aang with the relics instead (they are in the mountains in The Blue Spirit after all) and the rest of the episode could proceed the same. Hell, the merchant in the comic even says that “someone traded this for some medicine” they could have even kept that by having Zhao “trade” it for some medicine from the herbalist aang met, though perhaps that would bring up the question of why Zhao thought setting up a trap in such a remote location was a good idea...
I wish we got an episode where team Avatar learns about how people have started disrespecting the avatar and making fun of him for leaving a 100 years so world can suffer a hundred years of war and suffering this makes Aang starts to doubt himself but his friends tell him "don't listen to them aang you'll here now and you can make amends from your mistakes"
This episode could have been in the series instead of the great divide, but I also see why didn't this make the cut. The ending maybe was too similar to the air temples ending, or it was too focused on Zhao, with the overall episodes about him, what were already in book 1. Oh, everyone else comments this, I see.
You know I absolutely love the movieflame because he understands everything that people who are just into Avatar the last Airbender completely miss and then the people who really involved in the true meaning of the show can watch this and fan girl with somebody else who does understand❤️👌😊
I bought one Avatar Magazine when I was a little kid, and this comic was in it. Years later I bought the Avatar Comics and noticed, that one comic was quite familiar. What's funny is that the things characters say, are not the same.
Thanks for sharing this. It actually was very helpful. Katara focus on being a master was definitely what was missing from book one. I always knew she was lacking a certain depth to her and now I know. Also, this episode could easily take the place of the great divide, an episode which did zero to contribute the overarching storyline of the series.
I really enjoyed reading the Lost Adventures of Team Avatar. Short and funny fillers that never got animated but when I reached this part I was so 💔. I am amazed how Aang stayed goofy and happy despite the guilt he carries and the responsibility of being the Avatar along with keeping his culture alive. Zhao always reminded Aang that guilt. In the episode The Blue Spirit and this part in the comics. 🥺
Linda El-Adly the spirit world arc aside from wan. Did we really need a spirit kaiju dbz laser battle. Korra is good but i’d happily swap season 2 with just about anything. I mean there were cool bits in season 2 but it’s definitely the lowpoint of both series and the graphic novels
I think I remember hearing about the caves that were used to draw in airbenders, this is really interesting. It would be cool if it were in the show, but it’s nice in that it gives us another reason to read the comics.
I think a few air nomads survived but their culture was destroyed successfully. Aang is the last KNOWN airbender last known traditional air bender but there were definitely air benders that survived. The Last Unicorn wasn't really the last unicorn but the last free one

I remember seeing this comic. Like this is the episode I wished actually was on the show. I always felt him being the last of his kind was pushed over in the series and wasn’t talked about much. This would had been a great addition to everything in ATLA
Great vid, thank you for sharing, I always love learning new ATLA canon. Just real quick, though, as of Book 1, Katara didn't know that the reason her mother was killed was because she lied to that firebender to protect Katara. She thought her death was the result of a firebender being typically evil, and didn't know her mother sacrificed herself. So, making her sacrifice count wouldn't have been a motivator for Katara to become the best waterbender she can be.
I just wish there was season 4
My life would have been completed :(
Season 4 = last airbender comics
@@aayushm2045 but i do want it to be animated tho :) and plus it isnt the season 4 its just a sequel comic
There's really no reason for it. They completed the main story. If you want more, read the comics
There will be more shows about avatar so exciting
@@galalahmed9035 wait rlly? When??
I can’t explain to you how much I love this channel
U look better than sokka with hair in a pony tail
Bro they made “The great divide” instead of this?
Hey MovieFlame, have you seen the unaired, original pilot episode of ATLA? Nickelodeon recently streamed it live on YT, and it's really interesting to see the changes the creators made from that OG pilot. For example, Katara's original name was Kya, which is now her mother and daughter's canon names. idk, I feel like it be something you'd be interested in lol
can you send me the link??
I have always felt there could be more survivors. Nobody can catch them all. Or I can always write a fanfiction where air nomads return into Korra's time as Aang as their leader and shows other nations they are not weak.
Ps. What happened to the air nomad relics? Where they collected after war? I hope so.
I like to think Airbender refugees are the ones who developed chi blocking over time to hide their bending while still using their swift/non destructive combat skills
Or that the some air benders just walk through the spirit portal! Just like in the legend of Korra, a true master of air bender, can literally astral project, what if some survivor physically send their spirit to the spirit world
I saw a theory that they assimilated with neighboring countries and hid the fact that they were airbenders. So some people in the earth nation are descendants of air nomads. Airbending also has a tie with the spiritual side which is why in the 3rd season of LOK some earth nation people were able to awaken their air bending from the harmonic convergence.

I find it interesting Aang tried to destroy the connection to his past lives in the comics and gained a newfound appreciation for them(though never faces blame for a blatant decision of his own fruition). Yet, when Korra has the disconnect inflicted upon her without trying to do so herself. Her story faces flack over it(Even though she grows an appreciation for why there's deeper meaning for the Avatar.) Which begins her _Legend_ to become more understanding, compassionate and enlightened while simultaneously dealing with the trauma.
Imagine if we had gotten this instead of The Great Divide.
Never forget what Nickelodeon took from us.
DAMN....I LOVE this even as I am horrified...my sister has always held out hope that some survived. and it turned out she was right...but it was the tragedy that let them be vulnerable to try to seek out others like them that allowed the firebenders to pick off the ones who had survived.
i hear avatar and just can’t not click
Lucius Malfoy voiced Admiral Zhao😱.
This would have been a very sad episode but, it would also be seriously incredible and would add much more depth to season 1.
i remember a video about the theory that Ty Lee is an airbender descendant
well this chapter just buries that theory down
Not entirely
Still not a good theory, Ty Lee and her sisters are from the upper class, with enough status to be enrolled in the same academy as and become friends with the princess.
Life happens wherever you are, whether you make it or not
Mushi has such a way with words.
I had no idea Lucius Malloy and Shao were played by the same guy till now.
If we ever get a book 4 I want to see aang examining these caves
I clicked as fast as I saw the notification!
Me too! 😁
Same 💪
Thanks for all the work you put in man, you take incredible things and add even more dimensions! Much love!
Finally another avatar video I've been waiting for ever
Great video as always and yeah I think it would have been a great video but they probably didn't do it since The Blue Spirit episode was somewhat similar, Aang going out on his own and getting captured by Zhao, and since they didn't know how well the show would do back then it probably would have been best not to use the same plots in multiple episodes
Taking this story and running with it.
Do a limited series focusing on the Airbenders who either escaped the temples or were out traveling at the beginning of the war. Series opens with Aang disappearing and Fire Nation attacking the temples. We get Gyatso having a heroic death and probably defending escaping children and bison.
We see the Fire Nation in full genocidal mode enacting destruction and capturing Airbenders, using those stolen relics. Some who have morals help a few children escape and hide them in their own families (for the Ty Lee theorists)
Most that escape the purge end up hiding among the Earth Kingdom, vowing never to use their Airbending, and starting families (in a way explaining Harmonic Convergence on who received Airbending)
But would probably end up hella dark
I really like how well researched all your videos are and how well you explain the meanings behind the smallest details! Love your videos! Great job!
A big thing to consider on why the majority of Airbenders would’ve been killed is that since they are such a spiritual people they all would’ve migrated back to their temples to celebrate and observe the 100 year comet. Then the fire nation could easily pick off whatever stragglers that remained
Hey Morgan Love your videos dont ever stop you are amazing hope you see this.
Okay. Wow.... just wow. Really wished this was an actual episode! Incredible.
Yeah. I have watched avatar over 100 times. It’s so amazing to experience the plot of a episode, that I don’t know of yet. I’m trying to not watch any of it until I forget it all.
I remember hearing about this chapter, I think it is really unfortunate that they didn’t make that episode, it would’ve nicely patched up the plot hole of how all airbenders died when they were NOMADS
So Aang basically feels like the last Mohican.
Now I wanna see this animated...
Lloyd Grant Perhaps we’ll see it in the live action. But we all know the creators aren’t involved with that one...😬😬😬
This is one of the saddest things I've ever heard. While this would have added so much to aangs story I'm kind of glad he didn't have to go through this too especially after the great loss he felt when he found out his people was truly gone. But I'm glad we saw the air nomads come back in Legend of Korra with Aang probably smiling down at them from his place in the spirit world :)
I could be super wrong, but I wonder if they left it out because of how sad it is. I cried so hard during this video 😭
2:17
Whoa, that _totally_ sums up Unavaatu's vicious bout with Raava later in _The Legend of Korra._
Sad, isn't it?
Nice video and I also think it would’ve made a really nice episode
Thanks for the video. You are a great storyteller
This episode would have had a very dark concept. Imagine all those real life events where people get lured into a trap by serial killers only to disappear and never again be heard of. Like those airbenders
Anng: destroyed the pendent loses connect to his past lives.
Korra: no connection to past lives
Yeah but still almost kinda foreshadowing korra losing all conection after season 2
I'll never understand how korra can still go into the avatar state after losing the connection. Roku described it as all the past avatars directing their power into the avatar. Yet korra has no past avatars to direct. Yet she still is a beast
@@Noctifern Her Avatar State isn't even that good
@@jolteonrpgplayer2751 she's trash compared to aang
Mmm love the salty comments
I still find it upsetting that the writers killed off all of the airbenders (sans Aang). I think it would have been really neat (especially come Korra’s time) to have seen more airbenders.
Not only is it highly unlikely that the fire nation would have successfully wiped out enough airbenders/members of the air nation at their temples *before* they had a chance to warn one another of the attacks, but the air nation are a people of NOMADS. Meaning, there were likely dozens (if not hundreds) of air benders roaming the earth just doing their thing. I find it extremely hard to believe that all of them were lured in by the traps the fire nation set for them.
Instead, I would have liked to have seen these nomadic air benders who escaped the genocide of their people assimilate into the earth nation, and maybe even the fire nation colonies over time. They don’t bend. They don’t tell their families or their children. Maybe they let the art of air bending die out as to preserve not only themselves, but what would have been a dying culture.
We see many similarities with certain characters and the air nation. Ty Lee, for example, moves much like an air bender and sports the hazel/grey eyes and lighter hair. Very uncharacteristic of the fire nation. Do you know how fun it would have been for her to have found out she descended from a people her nation had tried to wipe out? Descended from a people that she and her friends were hunting?
Then we see Azula’s and Mei’s reactions to learning of their best friends ability/heritage. Would Azula be conflicted trying to take down Ty Lee? Would she hesitate? Would Mei jump in to save Ty Lee from Azula, much the same way we see her do this at the Boiling Rock?
Aang could have tracked these people down and re-taught an entire people air bending. He would have been the last airbender, but not in the way the writers wanted us to believe. He would have been the last air bender who knew how to bend.

It's an honor to be here this early.
Who else was literally just binge watching atla and movie flames videos on atla
Ha I was watching ur order of phoenix video and then this popped up
Great job making videos👍
Butch Hartman put on his channel a video of Danny Phantom reuniting, no animation, but he got the original voice actors to record dialog for it. If only somebody can get the connections to have the same done for this, assuming ZTE doesn''t sound crazy different now
I love it but it's also so depressing 😭😭😭
Also I really wanna know more about Avatar Yangchen.
We needed a solo episode of Aang!
*Aang alone*
I love your videos. They're so professional.. and always super interesting and engaging.
I will always put off homework for movieflame videos!!
Wow, I watched all of the last air bender episodes and I didn’t know that there was a hidden episode.
this is from the dark horse atla comic “the lost adventures”theres a ton more of these stories in the comics.
I suppose it may have gotten cut for being a repeat of the Blue Spirt, but maybe in another timeline they could have looked into mixing the two stories... like the Yu Yan archers were sick but they also never really show up again, so they could have had Zhao capture aang with the relics instead (they are in the mountains in The Blue Spirit after all) and the rest of the episode could proceed the same.
Hell, the merchant in the comic even says that “someone traded this for some medicine” they could have even kept that by having Zhao “trade” it for some medicine from the herbalist aang met, though perhaps that would bring up the question of why Zhao thought setting up a trap in such a remote location was a good idea...
I wish we got an episode where team Avatar learns about how people have started disrespecting the avatar and making fun of him for leaving a 100 years so world can suffer a hundred years of war and suffering this makes Aang starts to doubt himself but his friends tell him "don't listen to them aang you'll here now and you can make amends from your mistakes"
It’s sad to see how the remaining air-benders who did escape were all hunted down 😞
This episode could have been in the series instead of the great divide, but I also see why didn't this make the cut. The ending maybe was too similar to the air temples ending, or it was too focused on Zhao, with the overall episodes about him, what were already in book 1.
Oh, everyone else comments this, I see.
Dope video man... I Wish they would've made it an episode too now
"he has me dead to rights and then he starts monologing"- frozone
You know I absolutely love the movieflame because he understands everything that people who are just into Avatar the last Airbender completely miss and then the people who really involved in the true meaning of the show can watch this and fan girl with somebody else who does understand❤️👌😊
I bought one Avatar Magazine when I was a little kid, and this comic was in it. Years later I bought the Avatar Comics and noticed, that one comic was quite familiar. What's funny is that the things characters say, are not the same.
We needed this instead of The Great Divide
Thanks for sharing this. It actually was very helpful. Katara focus on being a master was definitely what was missing from book one. I always knew she was lacking a certain depth to her and now I know. Also, this episode could easily take the place of the great divide, an episode which did zero to contribute the overarching storyline of the series.
Where did you find this story? Id love to read it
This also explains how the Fire Nation was able to effectively hunt down the Air Nomads.
Video idea:
Story of Yangchens hairline
I wish the episode would have been made.
I really enjoyed reading the Lost Adventures of Team Avatar. Short and funny fillers that never got animated but when I reached this part I was so 💔. I am amazed how Aang stayed goofy and happy despite the guilt he carries and the responsibility of being the Avatar along with keeping his culture alive.
Zhao always reminded Aang that guilt. In the episode The Blue Spirit and this part in the comics.
🥺
I love your explanations but I'm shocked I haven't seen the story of aang explained
This is the Lost Adventures of Avatar it's a whole comic series made by Mike and Brian cells of course it's Canon
This book was in the comic: Avatar The Last Airbender: The Lost Adventures, Team Avatar Tales
This looks great, I wish we could see it
Also first I think...
Why in hell do I have memories about such an episode?!
Zhao basically suffers from a serious case of the Dunning-Kruger effect.
I hope we can get a new avatar series that's better than Korra
Um, what's wrong with Korra?
They should animate the rest of the books
@@mushroom_doesnt_exist8053 what isn't wrong with Korra
Linda El-Adly the spirit world arc aside from wan. Did we really need a spirit kaiju dbz laser battle. Korra is good but i’d happily swap season 2 with just about anything. I mean there were cool bits in season 2 but it’s definitely the lowpoint of both series and the graphic novels
@@mushroom_doesnt_exist8053 everything
I just clicked on this and went
*the*
*WHAT*
I wish there was book 4 which is all about restoring the airbender population, or how they fought the fire nation.
I think I remember hearing about the caves that were used to draw in airbenders, this is really interesting. It would be cool if it were in the show, but it’s nice in that it gives us another reason to read the comics.
I think a few air nomads survived but their culture was destroyed successfully. Aang is the last KNOWN airbender last known traditional air bender but there were definitely air benders that survived. The Last Unicorn wasn't really the last unicorn but the last free one
After finishing shows, i started reading books. It was a free day comic. I still remember how touched i was after reading this one. I ended so sadly.
