This episode has to be the best recap ever made, instead of just old scenes, they re-make them from the perspective of the other side of the conflict and let the cast react to the representation, plus it forces them to face the worse case scenario, an end in which they fail
I just noticed now that even the side conversations in between the play recap info that isn’t covered. Toph’s reminds us of her and Uncle’s conversation about Zuko and Aang reminds us that he locked his chakras.
Little trivia, the reason a girl is playing Aang in the play wasn't because they portrayed him as feminine or something like that but because there used to be a Peter Pan play where Peter Pan was played by an older woman.
It’s really common for adult women to play younger boys in plays (especially pantomime) - but even more common in animation w voice actors so I always thought it was a nod to people thinking an adult woman voiced Aang (which I thought initially watching it cause he’s such a good actor)
Yeah I'm sure that's the explanation the creators where going with. Ember Island play Aang is based on Peter Pan. Both stories are about a boy who can fly. Not because the Fire Nation was made homphobic by the awful TLOK comics.
The "older woman" you speak of; her name wouldn't happen to be Mary Martin now, would it?
If so, then I know EXACTLY which Peter Pan play you're referring to!
It's a pretty widespread fan belief that the reason why Toph is played by an absolute beast of a man is because all the people the playwright interviewed were too embarrassed to admit that they got their butts whooped by a little girl, so they just all claimed that the Earthbender that beat them was a big and strong man.
Another way to look at it is that since it´s also a propaganda play, she is envisioned as a monsterlike figure. Throughout history that method has been used to dehumanize the enemy. Fear is a great tool to maipulate soldiers and society.
Their reputation is all by word of mouth. Most people only hear that there's a blind Earthbender named Toph who travels with them, who is probably the best bender anyone's ever seen, and is a loud mouth. When people hear of this, they would immediately think of some really strong looking guy who screams in the way that a lot of Earthbenders do.
People have to remember they live in a proto-industrial world without reliable sources of information and no photographs. All the rumours about Toph would result in what we end up seeing.
Everyone’s (especially Toph’s) reaction to the actors playing them is priceless, LOL
I always liked the implication that Toph's Ember Island actor was because nobody would admit they got beat up by a little girl.
@@saberstrike000 LOL, OMG YES that is now my personal head canon, except I think it’s more that she’s blind and not so much that she’s a girl, after all Katara, June, Tai Lee, Mei, Azula, The Kyoshi Warriors, Hama the Puppetmaster, all kicked as much butt as Toph, but they ain’t all muscllely dudes, but who knows, LMAO!!!

@@oliverfischer289 You're not wrong about history, but the fact is, the Gaang isn't painted as particularly villainous in the play. Caricatures, yes, but they're still the protagonists and their heroic actions are still presented more or less without spin. Obviously that was a device to set up for the twist at the play's finale, but I still feel the "inaccuracies" are meant to be a combination of unreliable sources and flanderization by the playwrite rather than deliberate propaganda (again, until the final act, which is a very heavy tonal shift.)
@@saberstrike000 Also, I think it was a nod by the creators to what could've been. Originally, Toph was gonna be a guy until the creators decided to change it.
Greatest decision made btw.
Appas side gig. Selling the tails of his travels
The writing on this show is just amazing
While not one of my favourite episodes I do think this one is the most clever. It's basically a series recap but done in a really smart and creative way.
At least it’s better than the last airbender movie.
Movie? What movie? There is no The Last Airbender movie in these walls, here we are safe, here we are free.
This episode was really matter both a recap at a screw you to the show at the same time ,TH-cam you trust me you thought things were crazy before this was just straight up hilarious and this wasn't even supposed to happen they just needed extra money so they gave him this so they can have some fun.
Toph was cast as a man because it's joke referencing what the creators were going to do originally. So glad they made the change.
YOU HAVE A SPONSOR!!!
Cary 👏 😲 what you've been up to?
There's a season 2 of One punch man, I case that you didn't know
This is straight up war propaganda , crazy that this is a kids show . Touching on serious issues in a fun way
I live to see Cary’s bare feet😋
She's wearing shoes
Getting closer to one of the most satisfying endings ever.
Facts
I live to see Cary’s bare feet😋
The playwright’s sources included the cabbage merchant, the pirates, some POWs, and the singing nomads (secret tunnels!). Sonce it wasn’t said that was all the sources I assume there were others. Soldiers, workers, and civilains probably
Play Zuko was voiced by Dante Basco’s brother!
The creators confirmed that Jet did die
"Wait, did jet die?" "You know it was never very clear."
"It was very unclear"*
@@lilywong9672 "It was very nuclear."
The cartoon is very self aware
@@lilywong9672 'It was really unclear'*
Bad enough someone got it wrong in the first place, but to correct it and get it wrong...they even have subtitles on in the reaction, you can SEE what it says ^^
This episode is the best recap episode I have ever seen of any show, usually recap episodes are cheap montages and people end up skipping them because they are boring, but this ended up being one of my favorite episodes of the whole show.
This play is better then the entire last air bender movie 😂😂😂
And cost a fraction of the whole movie did
imo, the best comedic episode in the series. also Toph and Zuko's dynamic is really underrated i think,
Still more accurate than the film
they cast a man to play Toph because nobody would admit to being beat by a little girl. That's my theory anyways
FYI…..pretty sure they obtained most of the details from the “knowledgeable merchant of cabbage 🥬“ 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The merchant of cabbages who also has quite a few grievances from Team Avatar
yes. they said that and reacted to that specific statement.
Remember the part where everyone in audience is cheering the Fire Lord winning it'll be important for later.
You do know that Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dimartino are bringing back the animation series for a continuation??? Because they are 🤷🏾♂️
The only people I've seen catch who they got the information for the play from
Still WAY better than the movie
Lmao I thought y’all finished this show already damn.
Very crafty to put the sponsored ad into the video during the first act break in the episode
YES SPONSORSHIPPPP 👏👏👏👏👏
11:15 they all know they shut brothas down w lines like that that’s why they dead 🤕😂😂😂
If Azula saw this. . .well I don't even wanna imagine.
Absolutely best episode! Korra tries to have a recap episode like this but it just isn't as good.
And the Avatar not reading the room when someone is "confused" seems to be a thing...
my favorite episode of ATLA is a filler episode in fact it's two filler episodes cuz I can't choose between them this one and tales of Ba Sing Se
You guys gotta react to Korra next, then Dragon Prince (includes some of the same writers).
The best season of two of my favorite shows
MHA and ATLA
Jake the Dog is play Toph and that makes me so happy
Where can I put in a request for what to react to next?
One of my favourite episodes
Took also can’t write
Full of meta inside jokes:
Nickelodeon didn´t wanna acknowlege deaths, specially of a teenager (Jet),
so they were subtle, because he definately officialy dead, that´s why the stakes are* high.
Also I think that last comment was refering to the live action movie that must not be named.
Nick is wierd. They can't say Jet dies directly but showing a fraternal murder-suicide (Tarrlok killing Amon) is perfectly fine. Both shows had the same rating.
This episode is a comedy.
you should check out Young Justice
Their reactions would be trash
getting closer to KORRA 🙌🔥🍻
I live to see Cary’s bare feet😋
The playwrights got it right. Zutara is the truth, that's all I'm saying lmao
You wish
I mean it's a parody, so yeah
The Drill was a "Boring" episode xD
I live to see Cary’s bare feet😋
