What happend to the httyd 3 reaction
Glad you guys enjoyed this. Once again, if a slightly darker tone for this universe is your speed, you absolutely should check out The Legend of Korra as soon as you can. Also, was wondering what's the next Marvel show you'll watch on UA-cam here? Playing catch-up with stuff like Echo, What If or Punisher? Going straight into X-Men 97? Curious but looking forward to anything really.
Holden y:all should watch Narnia movies from 2005. The first one is a great adaptation of the book.
Edit: Do ZOOTOPIA TOO please 🎉
the moon spirit is in her, probably the justification for the ability to bend even when the spirit is dead
Yeah you can see it during a close up of her striking blue eyes during the no moon period
Yeah, she is a piece of the spirit that was left. That’s how she was able to be the fox in the spiritual realm
On another note, guys, Michaela Jill Murphy (who voiced Toph) has done a series called Tea Time With Toph, where she reacts to the animated series and has a special Tea in each episode. On occasion she has others join her for the reaction; like one time she had Dante Bosco (Zuko) and even Grey DeLisle (Azula). Perhaps you might check that out.
I didn't know that existed. Found my next binge
I also wondered about Yue being able to bend with the moon spirit dead but I just chalked it up to her having part of the moon spirit's life energy inside of her.
Seconded
That's the only thing that makes sense. It's what I immediately thought
It's not even speculation, really, because that's the whole point. That portion of the moon spirit is now she was able to make the sacrifice to return the moon.
I was just about to say the same thing. That she is literally the moon spirit in constant physical form.
She had the source of water bending inside her. So, sticking Sokka to the ground wasn't a big deal.
The actor who plays Aang has a black belt in one art and extensive training in 2 other arts - so yes, the martial arts you see are him, not faked.
Interesting comment about how she can Waterbend when the Moon Spirit is gone. The answer....wait for it.....She IS the Moon Spirit; at least partially. Remember in the cartoon she literally BECOMES the Moon's actual representation. It's still a fish, but it's also HER.
2:55 - There are rumor that there will be more of a time-jump, which is why at the end here they said the comet is coming "soon" instead of putting the one-year period the cartoon gave. Also, don't forget this footage is already a few years old. They filmed in the summer of 2022, when Gordon Cormier (Aang) was 12 or 13. So he's around 15 already.
As much as I liked the show, Katara becoming a master without ANY formal training whatsoever is the part that takes me out of it the most
Yeah & that all of sudden Aang knows how to do water bending without training either within the series
@@littlesparrow303aang didn't bend an inch of water in the whole Netflix series, XD
She did not become a master, it's just a dumb kid calling the person above them master. Like when younger generations will call a 30 year old sir or mam. She even starts to say "wait I'm not a master" before he runs off
@@littlesparrow303 Bro what are you saying??? Aang didn't bend water by himself in the season. If you're talking about the final fight, I'm pretty sure it was the Ocean Spirit who bend those water but just used Aang as medium to unleash their wrath because Zhao killed the Moon Spirit.
Even if she DID become a master (the qualifications for which are completely arbitrary by the way), some people don't need much training or practice to be good at something. It's called talent. And we did also see her practice. Not much, because the series wasn't super focused on that, but it did happen. And I'm assuming she did a lot off screen, as well.
The war balloon was first seen in season one but wasn't seen used in action by the fire nation until the Day of Black Sun (season 3).
she could waterbend because she's touch by the moon spirit
The fans have named the ocean monster “Koi-zilla”
Lol it did look much more like godzilla than a fish spirit
Overall I enjoyed this show despite some of the big flaws.
The biggest things that bothered me about this finale is
1. We never saw Aang waterbend outside of the avatar state. I think thats dumb. I understand they made changes and im open to change but that was one i didnt think was done very well.
2. I absolutely hate Katara just becoming a master for no reason. In the animated show, Katara was always naturally gifted. Once she started training with Master Paku she became his best student..... but she still needed formal training. Here she just became a master because..... reasons! Lol. I dont like that. That was one of my biggest issues with the live action Mulan movie. In the animated movie it was Mulan's hard work and dedication that made her a great warrior, not some magic chi that did everything for her. Katara is a great character and making her magicially a master at waterbending is a disservice to her character.
I am excited for season 2 and 3 though! I hope the writers listen to its fans to see what worked and didnt work and write accordingly.
"avatar godzilla" it's lovingly called koizilla in the fandom :)
I'm slightly confused Holden. You saw her Yue do this exact thing in the cartoon and you didn't find it at all strange then. So why is it suddenly strange NOW?? Giving her life BACK to the Moon is exactly what she does in the cartoon. So OF COURSE she "just happens to have that ability;" she actually IS The Moon Spirit (partially.)
They don’t rember a lot of things form the cartoon
I think they also didn't like season 1 of the Animation... : (
But then makes sense that they'd forget or find it off
Jen, your hair looks SO GOOD! Your color looks great!
When we getting Korra?
cant wait for book 2 EARTH where aang learns water bending
I am curious how Toph will look in this, she is earth nation so she should probably be Indian but her animated character looks more like she would be from the fire nation
11:06 I thought Holden would add the Avengers theme song into that zoom in shot of Aang🤣
I’d hate to imagine how Jen would’ve felt if they did an Appa death fake out instead of Momo.
Thank you for this wonderful trip!
I like how Jen calls Uncle Iroh, uncle like hes her real uncle lol
Also Katara speaking at indoor volume like Aang will hear him a mile away incased in a giant water monster
Well.... calling Katara "a little peasant" is exactly what he says in the cartoon, sooooooo. His trash talk is just fine I'd say. lol.
I would suggest that because Yue has a bit if the moon spirit in her, the lack of a moon in the sky would not stop her bending - but that's just my opinion.
plsss watch legend of korra too
Thanks for the reaction!!!
They also used the hot air ballon in book 1 in the cartoon
So katara just became a master overnight off screen before the battle....... mkay.
Take a drink every time Jen says Holden's full name
i think she could water bend because she had some of the moon spirit within her also how she could become the new moon spirit
I predict that when season two starts, Aang will have learned waterbending offscreen. I mean, why show him learning it when we watched Katara learn it throughout the first season. After all, don’t we really want to see a fully realized Avatar and not an Avatar-in-waiting?
I don't think Aang not learning Waterbending is a big deal after seeing some interviews and re-watching the show. Rmr we're just in season 1 & it's an adaptation; so you notice how this Live Action never called their SEASON 1, "Book 1: Water" like the cartoon. Also in the cartoon if you recall Aang learnt from Katara in seconds💀especially when it came to water Aang was ALWAYS a very quick learner. So in season 2, they'll make him learn quick as well (which annoys Katara in the cartoon cause she took a whole season to become a master when he's naturally gifted lol) literally in like 1 episode - and continue up until meeting toph. They'll be faithful to the animation and fix plot holes 🌊🌊
Training is a continous journey. You can also train via experience (e.g., fightig bad guys)
My best buddy and i have been talking about this show, i watched it right away, he waited until this week to watch. Hes about to start episode six with the agni kai. I think this is the best change from the animation to live action. gives extra depth to the crew hes with. But i agree with your thoughts its better than that one movie... ha but not as good as the animated. I just wish they didnt divert so much from the animated series but enjoyed my time with it.
When are you guys gonna continue the bad batch season 3?
Possible explanations for why Yue was able to waterbend while the moon spirit was dead. She has moon spirit in her so she is capable of bending still. Also Aang in combination with the Ocean Spirit is definitely waterbending in Koizilla form so it’s probably not a requirement for the moon spirit to be alive for waterbending. It’s just the source that all waterbenders pull from it might not be the only source. Most likely it’s just Yue is part moon so she can waterbend when others couldn’t.
I love it awesome reaction
React to Gen V. The boys spin off show.
16:26 she could bend because a part of the moon spirit resided in her, i guess? *shrug*
Overall, I didn't mind some of the changes to the story, but I think they watered down the characters of Aang Katara and Sokka. The dialog is a bit clunky and full of exposition. Visuals and the fight sequences were very well done.
We all would love to see you guys watch legend of Korra !!!
Please watch! I am shocked u have not.
Keep the avatar stuff going :)
Episode 8 was awesome 😊
I really loved this series, and the way they handled this show. I was born in 2003, so I grew up on 2005s ATLA and I had HUGE expectations of this show, and man oh man, they did not let down. Can’t wait for the upcoming Seasons
Where’s how to train a dragon 3 😢
Im looking forward to you guys watching Korra next. If you guys get to it. Would be awesome.
She could waterbend because she has the moon spirit. Remember?
She is part spirit, she prob doesn't "bend" she just used spiritual energy
Yeah, that's probably the best justification I can guess for it as well.
Oh yeah, that's 100% confirmed 🔥they expanded on her from the cartoon logically and avatar lore accurate.
Also common sense lol. They even said word by word "waterbenders learned to waterbend by looking to the moon," & "their lives come from the Spirit of the ocean, whilst their POWER comes from the spirit of the Moon."
So, since Yue is HALF moon and has some of its power already in her since birth...um yeah😂 Scientifically, the Moon's gravitational pull does Push and Pull the tides so makes sense...
I still can’t believe you guys haven’t watched death note yet I’m literally just waiting for it I’ll be back when yall do 👍🏻
I don't get how attacking the North helped conquering omashu what so ever? the avatar was gone for 100 years so him being distracted has nothing to do with it, and no earthbenders or whatever was at the north either so they literally could've taken over omashu at any given time? i don't get it
I feel like Power Rangers Turbo has now become required viewing for this channel. I want to watch it now, just to fully understand Holden's references and to see why every other movie in existence seems to be visually similar.
Seriously, Aang still does not know water bending.
You guys should react to "The Wire". Greatest TV show ever!!!
maybe watch the karata kid and then the cobra kai series, it's worth it
Would love to see you guys react to Korra.
Zhao, the fish killer
I was expecting you to mention Akira Toriyama.
You have nice hair holden
Hello! :D
All of the budget went into this episode. Also, Im looking forward to see how they so book 2 and 3
She could water bent because she is part moon spirit what give them there power
Aang really did good throughout in my opinion so did all the others
The first 2 episodes were very rough. You can tell he's trying to act, while the others are acting. After reading up on it, it sounds like they cast him because of his martial arts abilities more than his acting ability. To be fair to Aang and the others, the writing for the dialogue is really bad in most of this season. Way way way too much exposition. It didn't sound natural, because it wasn't. No one talks like that to each other. Even in the cartoon they don't talk like that to each other all the time. Hopefully the director and writers will be reading all the comments and criticisms about the first season, and take them seriously.
@@chasedunaganyeah there are so many videos on how bad the writing is & effects being iffy at points. Hopefully they improve from all the backlash
this kid was not bad at acting as aang but writers sucked at writing aang
I'm on the fence about having Iroh take out Zhao to be honest. I mean they didn't really build up Zhao and Zuko's rivalry all that much soooo, Iroh stepping in as Zhao tries a sneak attack from behind os fine. But I was hoping they'd have had Zuko and Zhao have at least ONE duel between them. Iroh stepping in here sort of mimics the episode when Zhao duels Zuko and loses; then tries to attack him after Zuko walks away, where Iroh grabs Zhao's fist and says something about how Zuko showed more honor than Zhao did.
I'm sure that's what the show was attempting to emulate with its own spin, which appears to be its style of doing things.
Book 2 & Book 3 of Netflix will also be shot BACK TO BACK
They will fill all year next year
I don't think I've heard anything confirmed yet, but I have to imagine the scripts have been ready for a while. I think they'll probably start filming later this year, but that's just speculation on my part right now.
When you guys watching how to train your dragon 3?
Posting it this week!
One Piece live action next?
True especially since not everyone will want to react to over 1000 episodes when they have other stuff to react. The live action does a good job on the first arc but it makes me worried for the arcs later on
my issue is, did seeing the "darker" stuff like the airbender add anything tho?, I feel like it just took time away from developing characters like ktara and aang who are shells of themselves. Katara basically did nothing in this adaptation
I think you guys would enjoy Korra as its slightly more mature in terms of themes. It feels like it was made more for teens and young adults.
Yue was able to waterbend because she had the moon spirit inside her which is why she was able to bring it back to life
Complaining why Yue watwrbends is pretty much complaining why people waterbend throughout the rest of the series
the northern water tribe during this time was had no battle experience and their technology was not as advanced as the fire nation despite this being the northern water tribes terrority
Yeah child actors grow FAST. lol. Look at James and Oliver Phelps (Fred and George Weasley) It extremely clear as of Prisoner of Azkaban that they were NOT 15 years old. Then in Goblet of Fire they are supposed to be 16?? Nope. Those were grown ass men. lol. Yeah the two years in between Chamber of Secrets and Prisoner of Azkaban was a lot. Then the year between movies three and four and it was more than obvious those actors were a minimum of 3 years older than they were portraying.
I 100% believe the comet will come in a "few years" Rather than "Next summer".
Actors have aged and will continue to age. His bending progression is much slower. There is also much more room for the characters to grow. Particularly Katara because she's got a large backbone that needs growing before Book 3.
There is probably going to be a time jump between the end of S1 and the start of S2, in which gap Aang probably will have started to learn the basics of waterbending by Katara. Not saying that's necessarily the approach I hope they take, but that's what makes most sense in my head for Netflix to do. S2 and S3 are supposedly being filmed back-to-back, so introducing the comet early in S2 might still accomplish the sense of urgency in learning the other elements the animated show had.
Though I'll reiterate what I wrote in another comment, I need Netflix to add 2-4 more episodes for the following seasons, Book 2 and 3 just have far too much content to cover while also including what they skipped in S1. I also missed Katara's attitude in the live action. They better not cut out the blind jokes for the latter two seasons with Toph.
I gotta say I think Cobra kai, Stranger things, Outer Banks, YOU, live action One Piece, and live action ATLA are the best show Netflix has made. Netflix is nailing live action adaptations, so far imo.
Not Cowboy Bepop the anime for it alone is better. This one does have a lot of mixed opinions from fans. I give this series a 6/10
@littlesparrow303 Well I haven't seen that and I completely forgot they made that a live action lol
Hey katara, wanna become a master for no reason and no training?
Katara: I found a master. Me
😂😂😂
Awful writing.
Unfortunately this seriees will be forgotten with time.
I will admit that I rather liked the idea that Sokka was at odds with that one dude. It gave his relationship with Yue some interesting dynamic. making them be buddy-buddy here is a strange choice. As for this show dialing back on the sexism and people losing their shit over it, that's just complaining for no reason. I mean even IN the cartoon the sexism of Sokka and Paku are dealt with VERY quickly IN the very same episodes that they are relevant. So removing and minimising them her in this show isn't that drastic. It's an 8 episode show guys; they HAVE to trim the fat.
There's just no reason to watch this over the animated series. Doesn't do enough to justify its existence. The fights feel like turn based Pokemon battles too.
The only thing that rubbed me the wrong way about aang not being as childish was the fact everyone that sees him treats him SOLELY as the avatar and everyone seems to ignore the fact that he's a literal child. There's big difference in talking about the Avatar and seeing a child as the avatar. Hence, why bumi , past avatars all just felt janky to me compared to the wiser or zany depiction in the animation.
Aang as well, I know him acting kiddy and childish is probably not as great to watch as adults but the thing is he IS a child. There could be a better mix of fun and serious moments in the LA compared to just having serious Aang for the most part. It would really cut deep that they are all still kids in a wartorn world. Thanks for the great reaction!! and hope you all start on Legend of Korra in the future. Its flawed but still deserving of a watch and more of a "mature" tone that you all might like.
I think Aangs acting his fine but he just has nothing to work with in terms of the writing for the dialogue but I feel he can act fairly well in something better written.
I feel kataras acting is the worst out of the 3. Aang at least can change his facial expression. 😂
The hot air balloon was in book 1 Northern Air Temple. The live action put the inventor in Omashu which was very stupid
I’m in the same boat of being in the middle. There are aspects I think they nailed and then there are things they fumbled on for me. My favorite part of the show was definitely Zuko and Iroh as well as I really liked the guy who played Sokka and Ozai was great too. The kid who played Aang and the girl who played Katara weren’t bad but it felt like they were trying too hard to act which became a bit distracting at times. I was very annoyed how they didn’t even have Aang start water bending in this first season and the added stuff with Azula wasn’t needed in my opinion. I’d rather have seen them focus more on Aang and the gang to develop their characters better. I’m glad we’re getting the future seasons now but they need to adapt to the criticisms people have expressed and slow it down a bit because Book 2 and 3 have a ton of story and character arcs that are very important and we don’t need them to try to adapt multiple things at once. The Omashu story arc showed how cluttered and uninteresting that can be when you try to force storylines to fit together compared to giving time for these things to develop and play out.
I want walking dead 😊
24:59 You're absolutely right. Here in this extreme one way or get cancelled or
the other way and get cancelled world, it's fine to be in the middle. All that matters
with this adaptation are two things: Did they honor and respect the original? Yes.
Is it better than M Night's adaptation? Oh Yeah.
Complaints like it needing more episodes is valid. Anything else is just nitpicking.
Since what? 2019? The phrase haters gonna hate has gone through the roof.
This could have been absolutely brilliant and you would still have those people
on UA-cam hating it for clicks. And all their wannabe bootlicker clones hating
it just to stay in those circles. It's a shame cos this was really really good.
Can't wait for season 2 :) And it was great watching your reaction to it
Nitpicking. The story itself is bad and the pacing horrendous. The exposition dumping. The only reason people like it is because of the nostalgia of the OG. In your mind the flaws work because your replacing it with the show.
The only reason I feel like people are liking this is because it is better than the terrible movie in comparison. There are a couple good moments but I think the show ranges from bad to mid most of the time. There is no reason to revisit it over the animated show.
I have to say that the Zuko in this live action series is contradictory to himself. He treats his Uncle with such compassion and acts so sweet and kind. It's almost discombobulating when we see him act completely opposite in the next scene. I feel like the original Zuko laid the foundation, and the original was way more successful in portraying that inner anger from a frustrated teenager, even as an animated character
I feel like one mistake I made going into this was re-watching the original animated show just before the live action came out, so I had it too fresh on my mind. That resulted in it being fairly difficult to digest some of the changes they made along the way, although I do understand (for the most part) why they made the changes they made. Some changes were budgetary as the showrunners have apparently said, and some were made to fit within the live actions more grounded world. I personally preferred the animated.
The acting was generally good, but there were standouts and performances that were lackluster at times. Some of that comes down to direction, and some comes down to actors being inexperienced. The child actors definitely matured more into their roles throughout the season. Zuko and Iroh probably were the most accurate portrayals in the live action. I do feel that some of the characters showed far less emotion than they did in the animated show, I missed Katara's attitude on occasion heh.
Absolutely loved the VFX work on the bending, the water physics on Koizilla (as the giant godzilla sized water monster is dubbed by the fanbase) was certainly a highlight, as well as most firebending. Though I'm a bit sad it felt like some of the bending was quite significantly nerfed. Like juiced up with the comet, Sozin's fire bending felt a little underwhelming, especially considering how it's explained in the animated show that the comet increases their power one hundredfold. Small gripe, still a valid concern in my opinion as we'll see Aang fighting Ozai juiced up with the comet in the S3 finale, and I'd hope they scale that up a bit by then.
I sort of understand why they chose to forego the Sozins comet plotline for the first season, given that they needed to see how this first season was received before they gave the following seasons the green light, but I take issue with the fact that they chose to forego any training whatsoever for Aang. In the animated show Aang is charismatic and lively, while in the live action he's certainly been toned down. The "Gyatso is the only person who's ever taught me" line Aang delivers when he's offererd to train waterbending with Katara doesn't sit too well with me considering he was taught by the other munks too in the animated show, Gyatso was just his father figure in that he was his guardian.
I loved seeing more Kyoshi, but at the same time I didn't feel like either Roku or Kyoshi were done justice. Roku, who were a plot-driving force in the animated show is barely present in the live action, and is depicted as fairly unserious rather than the Dumbledore(esc) style he had in the animated show. Kyoshi in the animated show was far calmer, had a near constant look of carelessness, but still felt very menacing. In the live action she was just intense.
I think the show would've benefitted massively from having 2-4 more episodes a season, even if that means cutting down on the length of each of them, ESPECIALLY for Book 2 and 3. There are just so many "filler" episodes that carry out so much of the character development in the animated show that I really feel like would do the live action injustice to forego. It's important to note that the main protagonists are children between the ages of 12-16, it makes perfect sense for them to be childish and on occasion a bit goofy.
I struggle to see how they're going to trim down book 2 into an 8-episode season now that they also have to somehow introduce certain things they chose to forego with season 1, without cutting fan-favorite and important moments. Hence my begging for 2-4 more episodes. Like for instance Roku and and Sozin's comet. Aang has to start learning the other bending forms, and now he has to learn 3 bending forms in 2 seasons.
Note: I know a lot of the changes especially VFX, scale, and epi count oriented are very much budgetary issues, but I really hope they can solve that with S2 and S3.
Sorry for the wall of text, I just started writing and kept on writing a bit too long. I have a few other gripes (that I wont take the time to write down now) and mainly listed negatives here I feel, but overall I'd still rate this adaptation high enough to warrant a continuation of the story. I knew it wouldn't be a 1to1 replica just in live action, but I feel like a lot of fans (to a certain point me too) very much hoped for that.
That's not necessarily a mistake, if watching the original made you realize the things that did not work to this adaptation...then the adaptation is the problem
@@equinox3625 The expectation that they were doing a 1-to-1 remake just in live action is what the mistake was. Due to budgetary and physical limitations of doing a live-action rather than an animated show that was never feasible.
I definitely think they could've done a better job with the writing, I'm not arguing that. But the task of trimming down a 20 episode season into 8 40(ish) minute episodes was probably not an easy task considering the aforementioned limitations. They 100% should shorten the episodes slightly and do 10-12 episodes for S2 and 3, but I really doubt that'll happen.
From what I've heard of friends and family who've watched the live action, but not the animated show, the tone or the writing didn't necessarily bother them, hence why I'm saying the mistake was analyzing too much into the differences and not enjoying it for what it was. Although I'll never forgive them for butchering Roku like that.
Watch dune
Zuko and Iroh's backs must hurt from carrying this awful show. 😂
Overall I enjoyed the show. They were able to add some interesting new moments but they also made a lot of weird or outright dumb decisions.
For real so many small changes that didn’t need to be made. I enjoyed the backstory they added like uncle at his sons funeral
weird
Man, I really didn't like this forced wokeness. Like I'm fine for women empowerment (Toph and Katara in the OG are great examples) but how is it smart to bring YOUR HEALERS into the front line. I also didn't like how Katara didn't have a Master. Also I find it great how they really focused in on Zhao's incompetency and hypocrisy. He didn't want to kill the moon spirit because it would kill innocents everywhere yet the moon would still harm everyone and also why would Zhao care of waterbender children?
10:11 he says this in the OG too you know.
13:27 and thus is born KOIZILLA!!
You're speaking more highly of this shit show than the actual first season, and that is fake bs
Only 3 things that disappointed me about this reboot.
1: Aang not learning waterbending
2: How Bumi was portrayed
3: They didn't make it TV-MA and go all out with it and make it a combination of Game of Thrones, Mortal Kombat, and spirit-themed Asian horror.
How about katara losing her strong character or sokka having to learn a leason instead of being a good man right there in there
Why do u gotta keep telling yourself it's good .:.shows good seems y'all jst have issues
I strongly disagree that people are just falling back on their memories as a kid when they are saying that the animated show did some things better. I liked that they made it a more serious tone, but the story of Book 1 animated series is far far better than this Netflix adaption. Some things were just underdeveloped. Some things were rushed and some things were actually slower paced and more boring than the animated series
Oh wow, this episode was rough. I'm only behind this one ep, and just from highlights... wow.
For what it's worth I think first two episodes and EP6 were good, and I like most of the fire nation stuff, minus random Azula scenes, but the rest is rough.
The thing is I don't understand who is this for? It's not for the fans, but then is this for older people like you guys? But then this is not more deep then the cartoon, because this is not more adult version of Last Airbender. This is childs version of what more adult version would be like. The fact they burn bunch of people in the early episodes makes it even more childish in comparison to cartoon, which weirdly enough took war more seriously. In this half the time I'm not sure, there is war.
If they gonna continue this I hope they have better ground to stand on going forward because this really feels like someone watched youtuber make a critique on live action movie, made sure to checklist all the points they made, and just made sure not to do those, but other then that, it ended up being more confused in what it is then the movie, because at least you can watch that and have a good laugh. There is something there.
Meh, the tone being more "mature" doesnt help when the writing for the story and characters is such a downgrade.
Agree!! The creator of this probably never watched the original series to see that they do have mature moments too. Sadly people see animation as just for children all the time. Like my aunt who thought Spider-Man Across the Spiderverse was for only children when it is for all & does deal with tough topics too
They have hated the show since the beginning let’s be honest. When you have to start the episode with “I mean it hasn’t been horrible”
Not only this reaction channel but there are a lot of videos talking on the bad writing that took away what make the cartoon special
Azula needs to lose 15 pounds, Katara 10.
this series is such a trash why dont u watch something that will entertain ur fans........
Could definitely just be me but I feel like the quality of this channel has gone down, waited a month for a 20 minute reaction that just has Holden making awkward jokes every 30 seconds , hard to believe this is your full time job and you upload like 2 videos a week on patreon. The lack of uploads is why I stopped supporting.
Definitely started when Jen made this her “full time job” as well, just not for me anymore
Dude if you want the full reaction of the show or movie you can subscribe to his Patreon. Besides they have a new born baby so they need to spend time with him as full time parents too. Also reaction to a lot of content & editing can take so much out of you and takes time.
