You have early access, how did they react to General Iroh?
+ChopperSakura Patreon them and find out, geez.
@@coldDrive geez not everyone has money to waste on such things like chill
When Aang breaks out of the bloodbend I always get chills, such a cool part.
"Yeah, nope." --Aang
"Awwghaghh, *just kidding! I'm the motherfuckin' Avatar!* " - Aang
"AAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUGGGGGHHHHH-- Gotcha bitch!" --Aang
'Oh, no! The invincible Avatar Aang brought to his knees by an ordinary bender, what dramatic irony! AHHH - just kidding.'
And honestly, it's the Avatar State that's separate from Aang alone that breaks it, since Aang never learned bloodbending himself, since Katara HAD to learn it to fight against Hama's Bloodbending, and only the greater of the two wills actually moves in the end. The Avatar State, holding THOUSANDS of wills at once could never be overpowered in willpower alone.
"I am the solution"
Does anyone else get chills whenever they hear that line?
Megan Brennan Every time. I rewind it and every time it (music too) gives me chills.
"Fine, follow me Twinkle-toes."
"Toph, I'm forty years years old, you think you can stop with the nicknames?"
"Fraid not."
Love this back and forth! :D
140 years :P
@@allmight9420 He's Biologically 40 and Chronologically 140. He's still 40. You people need to stop going around saying "Well actually He's 140", If the show said he's 40. He's fucking 40.
@@kingtanto4 That’s exactly my f***ing point
@@kingtanto4 to be fair, in last airbender aang himself mentioned he was 112 years old
Tenzin's wife is a nonbender, and 3 of his kids are airbenders. So when his kids have kids, whether they get with a nonbender or not, there's still a good chance at least one of their kids is going to be an airbender.
The baby is probably also an airbender! Katara sensed it in episode 1 ^^
RememberRox I wasn't gonna say anything in case they read my comment and saw spoilers haha
yeah all of Aang's grandkids will have to have a boatload of kids. Luckily i think at least one of them has that covered ;P
surely it doesn't matter either way, not with what the end of season 2 caused around the world..
its called balance. its the avatar universe who slowly building the the balance by creating air benders
Anyone else adore how much they're enjoying the series? They love it so much to the point that the discussion afterwards are longer than all of their other reactions to animated shows.
For people who have seen, and love ATLA, this show is incredibly compelling. Just the need of seeing what happened to the Avatar world, and the next Avatar keeps fans engaged.
I dont think they will mind season 2 barring the finale bs
Final Account love your Roy mustang profile pic
I love how towards the end of Avatar, the comments were filled with "don't watch Korra, it's crap, holds nothing to the original" and blah blah blah, yet they're LOVING this!! Adult Aang is a well designed model, Toph creating a legacy in the cops was awesome, seeing Katara was awesome, and (Korra Spoilers) seeing Zuko gives me chills every time I watch this show. I hope they nay-sayers are watching along and enjoying it like the group is.
WortelKop WortelKop Thanks. He's my favorite character in FMAB.
IMVADER2 Yeah, I can't believe there were people who actually believed they wouldn't enjoy Korra... Like do they not realize how open minded these guys are? They *love* the Star Wars prequels... There's no way they were going to hate additional lore from a franchise they grew to love.
Their reaction to where Yakone is trying to bloodbend Aang to death is totally spot-on. The terror in their looks.
The flashback is so fucking good
Selena Taylor why here though?
7:39 "I'd make everyone shit themselves."
^This is why we love you Shane.
Tbh if i had those abilities id probably use it for dumb shit like that lol. Nothing to outright expose myself, just enough to mess with people.
Kinda like Michael Vey in the book series "Michael Vey" initially only used his lightning powers to just shock people that had their hands on the same rail as him and stuff lol
Korra took Naga with her when she confronted Tarlock, he was waiting outside. When Tarlock nabbed her, Naga was right there to pick up the scent.
I think Naga isn't as smart as a flying Bison or a Lemure, because I don't think Appa or Momo would have gone after Korra, they'd have gone to find help first and bring them to the trail...
Then again Naga is part dog and dogs are amazingly loyal to their owners, even if she *is* as smart as Appa or Momo I bet her first thought was "fuck everything else, my girl needs me, I'm on my way Korra!"
well, Naga didn't know the new team avatar that much, so it wouldn't make that much sense. Appa met Katara and Sokka the first episode and they became a family
Naga is Korra's Appa, She knows and followed Korra.
+Mordirit Uh I think Appa would go directly to help Aang. I don't recall him ever in a situation where he did what you assumed. The spirit animal partners are all very smart and connected with their respective avatars.
My name is Tarrlok, son of Yakone. After five years in hell, I have come to Republic City with only one goal: To rule this city. But to do so, I can't be the gangster my father once was. I must be someone else. I must be _something_ else. I am... Councilman Tarrlok.
I love the arrow reference
"It would be cool if they brought back the voice actors."
Oh just you wait Calvin, just you wait.
scienceisamazing #nextepisode!!!!!
scienceisamazing
Oh my god, I forgot about that.
My thoughts exactly 😁
ldkinbote
Season 3 is the best season, hands down. You should definitely give it a chance.
Wait until they see General Iroh next episode lol
It was years ago, and yet my jaw still hasn't stopped hurting after hitting the ground so hard when I saw Amon resisting the blood bending.
Mordirit how did he do that
Black Titan please no one answer this question, no spoilers please for the blind wave crew
Mordirit It's Fucking bullshit that makes no sense bloodbending literally cannot be resisted that's what makes it so deadly.
LuminaryPrism75
SPOILERS
Katara learnt bloodbending and started resisting tho
General Zod So did Tarrlok :)
Katara actually says that "Sokka and many of my friends are gone", she doesn't talk about Zuko or Toph particularly. She could mean like Suki and Mai for all we know. We only know for sure that Aang and Sokka is dead.
Jesica Techera No true! But I mean Mai was with Zuko and Ty Lee with the Kyoshi warriors for a while so I just assume they became friends... and ofc Suki and Katara were friends
Sokka probably stayed in a relationship with Suki after the events of ATLA at least for a little while so it's not so far fetched that Suki became friends with Katara. I do see how Mai probably wasn't as close.
Well didn't Zuko and Mai have a rocky relationship in the comics? Might be remembering it wrong, if that really is the case then I could see why the gaang wouldn't become good friends with Mai (if she and Zuko were constantly fighting she wouldn't be much present on his travels to visit them).
I think Ty Lee is more given, the gaang had close relationships to the Kyoshi warriors, even more so if Sokka ended up marrying their leader.
FYI LoK was originally going to be one season, and I think that line reflects that as Zuko and Toph being alive isn't implied or mentioned until after the first season. If they knew from the start they would have had four I don't think that line would have existed and I think sokka would appear in lok.
There's 70 years for them to become friends. If Mai stayed with Zuko and Zuko is close friends with Katara then it's likely they become friends at some point.
The FEELS when Toph called Aang twinkletoes.😭😭😭😭💔❤ #TEAMAVATAR
Why do I feel so proud when you guys react so positively? Hahah
The flashback is awesome, Amon is awesome, Korra is awesome!
So glad to rewatch with you all and have this new appreciation.
I totally feel the same lol! When I love a show I always feel so proud when others also like it! :D
Because we recommended something that's bringing others pure joy and entertainment.
Ikr that's why i stuck around, they don't judge too harshly or just simply hate on something not just this show. Even if they don't like it they know how to do so respectfully (which is rare on the internet)
So what are you doing here?
Ana Korra is not awesome
no no no why did you cut twinkle toes reaction
And the "your fly was down" :(
When will you people understand that if they "cut" something is because there was no reaction.
Daimon Shaw No way that there was no reaction when cheef Befong zipps Bolings zipper.
I think they have only 10 o 15 minutes to show, to avoid youtube censorship. So, they need to pick the best parts.
TongaX Kall do you mean like copyright?
You know Eric is getting emotional when he turns red😂😂
Kuma Lol true
So red lmao
That's how you KNOW he ain't just faking a genuine reaction lol
I like how Eric says he teared up when he saw Aang go Avatar State.
1018ez Oh yeah! I always tear up when Eric's tearing up. Just can't help it😭
Amon might be my favorite villain out of the entire Avatar series. The season finale will literally BLOW you away.
Korra has better villains overall than Aang imo. Ozai was always a bit one dimensional.
Really, dude? I prefer Ming Wha, that armless waterbender woman with the amazing pull she has on water.
@@flamefusion8963 so was Zhao and long feng
i feel the same too
I feel you Eric. When I first saw Aang go after Yakone all those years ago when it premiered, I was dancing around my room and cheering.
IMHO bloodbending was made even more creepy and disturbing since ATLA. I never knew it was possible to make it more so. I was literally horrified when just looking at Korra's face and when Yakone started twisting Aang's limbs at every angle!
Korra had some pretty smart and quick thinking there to not get electrocuted! Eat that Lieutenant!! No payback for ya >:p
Lin is badass as usual!
Asami sure is jealous and hurt, but she's pretty mature about it not letting it get in the way of what's more important at hand, which is finding Korra.
"I am the solution" Fuckin' badass!!
Naga is such a sweetheart! Korra told her to stay and wait for her to come back when going to confront Tarrlok, but Naga must've sensed something was wrong and went looking for her and even tracked her all the way to the middle of nowhere in the snowy mountains! That is some great sense of smell and loyalty!!
Lol your reaction at the end with Mako was my exact reaction as well xD
I'm the solution.
"I am the solution" **
final solution?
I am Gothams reckoning
I am the pollution.
jiojiojiji I AM THE SENATE!
26:20 remember the end of the scene when Korra and Lee Beifong first met? They gave each other that "looks", to let each other know that they keep eye on each other menacingly. That's it. That's the pose with the look that Korra is doing
at 10:26 when Eric said "fuck" I thought for a while that amon had said it
bosleyconnor27 REEEEEEEEEEE
Wow, me too! I was about to comment this XD
9:00 Eric whispering Arrow "..something else"
Well, about the wife thing, Keep in mind Tenzin's Kids can marry whoever they want, it doesn't have to be another airbender to produce an airbending kid, as long as one side of the familly has that gene, then there's a chance the kid'll be an airbender.
"I never really loved Azula" *single tear*
She was a compelling character but not lovable or meant to be loved. Idk why people get upset when people don't like her.
@@lolosmith8446 There's loving to hate and then there's just plain hate.
@@jp3813 and both are justified feelings
@@lolosmith8446 But only one was intended. You say that she's compelling, but in the Avatar reactions, they scoffed at her being a "cartoonishly dumb evil little girl". Hence, they don't like the way she's written.
Calvin: "OH...*flashback starts* Dangit, I thought her eyes were gonna light up" Eric: "SHUSH!" lol
*Korra walks up to Tenzan*
Korra: Wanna play a game.
Tenzan: What game?
Korra: Poke-Amon
George McLauchlin it's Tenzin
siitdri not important
DancingLightsAMV shush
.....enjoy the joke :p
"We're gonna watch that again." 😂😂😂
I loved that Eric and Aaron immediately looked at each other when they said "Someone else"
I always love how one antagonist takes out the other in this episode.
Eric thinks that if one guy can bloodbend anytime, everyone can do it too, you have to be very powerful and pratice a lot to master waterbend like that, and nobody practices it because it's probably illegal to control people bending their blood...
genes also has something to do with it like how everyone cant be an olympic medalist without the right genes paired with the right training
"It would be cool if they brought back the voice actors."
General Iroh II is coming up next episode. :)
Allison Wang yep, I cant wait
The only complaint I have is that Zuko’s voice doesn’t really fit Iroh II age in my opinion
This is my favorite episode of S1
Tarrlok: I was his son, but in order to win Republic City. I had to become someone else.
(Eric and Aaron look at each other)
Eric: (Muttering) Something....else.
When I first saw this episode on TV, I thought that Amon was resisting Tarrlok's blood bending because he had artificial limbs that no blood could go through. I wonder if anyone else had that theory going in?
TheLuckyThirteenth wouldn't he have to be 100% a robot to not have blood?
I know that was a theory floating on the internet for a while
I had the theory that energy bending also gave you some degree of control over the effects of bending
God Amon is OP af. And i think he is bending his own blood.
CrazyPanda Bloodbending is crazy op in this series
Mugetsu its honestly not that Op. First you have to be strong enough to even use it, second people who use it slowly go insane
Sy Bronx Nah bro its the most op thing in the avatar universe. And dont assume something based on the actions of a few, Tarlokk and Amon were raised by a gangster revenge filled ex-bloodbender afterall.
Spoilers man
Sy Bronx wtf its couse he doesnt kill if he would he would have fucked up everyone
I researched that Because aang was in an iceberg for 100 years it's like what aaron said is that it still counted against him so time basically caught up with him in his years of living
Fuuun faaact 4:03 those chi blockers where the voice of creators Bryan konietzko and Michael di martino
Lol you hear Tarrlok say "But in order to win republic city, I had to become someone else." 8:50 - Arron and Eric look at eachother and Eric says "Something else" did anyone else feel those Arrow vibes? That's Tarrloks intro to his new spinoff lol
"But in order to win Republic City, I had to become someone else..."
Eric and Aaron just look at each other w/ Eric mouthing "...something else..."
Perfect!
that flashback is why I need series with Aang and the Gang with the animation of studio mir!
bloodbending was always considered a forbidden technique even before the advent of Republic City and that sort of representative government, so it wasn't like the general public didn't know that was a possibility with waterbending
Yakone is probably the most powerful non-avatar character in the both shows.
@@pelonp3691yakone didn’t have his bending Aang took it
Calvin is gonna be pumped when the General of the United Forces shows up
Can we just appreciate for a sec how loyal the avatars animal guides are
Aaron, there's nobody alive who wouldn't love a 3rd Avatar series (be it before Aang, between him and Korra or after her), but sadly that's never gonna happen =/
Nickelodeon fucked the creators hard, not paying checks as they were meant to, cutting funds, refusing to air the episodes, forcing them to produce a whole season in just a few months, with how hard Nick was bullying them it's a freaking wonder that Korra is *any* good, much less as awesome as it is, truly the quality of this show is a testament to how much those guys loved the world they'd built.. There's too much bad blood there, and even though we're lucky Nick never had the balls to use the rights to produce a series without the creators we're still unlucky that a new series by them is never going to happen
You either die a classic
or live long enough to see yourself become The Simpsons
Agreed. Nick did not handle LOK fairly but the creators still made an awesome show with the limitations they had. I was so pissed in season 4 when Nick said they'd have to fire employees or cut back on animation in one episode which ended up in the recap episode in season 4. But I'm really happy that Bryke stood true with their crew.
Also though if you think back, Nick never knew had to handle TLAB. Season 3 didnt air for a very long time after season 2 and fans even thought it was canceled. And season 3's air date releases was soooo messed up.
The second half of season 3 if I recall correctly was all released in one week. It was just all dumped on us. Which I'm sure the fans took it as positive, but that's not how things normally are. It was so messed up. It's just the content of both Avatar series was so much more unique then the what Nick currently and at those times, yet both series brought them so much ratings and were hard driving series during their air times.
STAY Young True af.
Mordirit But Korra isn't any good.
+LuminaryPrism75 I'm sure Blind Wave totally agrees with you on that point /sarcasm.
Amon is a fucking gazelle such beauty and elegance love it
Did anyone notice Yakone's voice actor is Lex Luthor from Justice League? The two characters even have similar lines, such as being able to beat the justice system easily.
I love the stare Eric and Aaron gave each other lol
Funny how we in one episode meet the two most powerfull non-avatar benders in the entire universe and then they both get their bending taken away immediatly
9:12 Backstreet's back
9:12 they edited in the backstreets back 😂😂😂
I've watch Legend of Korra when it was first on air and watching you guys react to it made me realize I needed it in my collection and rewatch it. The show keeps getting better and better. Believe me!!!
Their excitement in seeing tenzin or Aang fight as master airbenders makes me excited for them too to tenzin later on in the series
"He doesn't sit on his balls anymore. He stands."
Oh you guys :)
9:01 Whispers "Something else"
I swear to god that scene where tarlock faced Amon is so amazingly written. All of your theory’s Of oh tarlock being Amon are scratched out and then Amon resists his blood bending. It’s just so good
Eric nerding out over the Aang flashback haha. I know i did when i first saw it. Damn they will love future books :)
DETECTIVE CALVIIIIIN STRIKES AGAIN. I love the reactions to this episode so much.
4:14 The same way Aang & Co. followed Toph's lead once she learned metalbending lol
am i the only one who waiting this every week? their reaction give me some nostalgic. can't wait for book 4
I'm glad you guys still like it so far. a lot of people hate this show and their reasoning is always flawed
Chris Koloski No it really isn't. I'd say people defending the show have flawed arguments.
first any reason can be flawed, second Ms. Dreadedfate has a point there's nothing wrong with hating on the show or liking it. What is wrong is judging it based on it not being like Avatar which don't get me wrong I love this show and grew up on it but to be honest I like Korra more because it speaks and is more relatable to me but hey that's my two cents
Latrae Osborne my problem is everyone i saw who hates the show brings up the same tired points such as the avatar line ending because of korra. I'm just a bit sick of people treating aangs story like it was flawless. yes i like the show and its damn good but it's not perfect
From spoilers I read and researched the line didn't end with Korra but started over/reset with her which to be honest could have happened to any avatar before or after Korra
Chris Koloski ATLA is widely regarded as one of the greatest animated shows ever made. LOK isn't. And it is nearly perfect.
"we haven't seen how toph died" hahahaha😂😂😂😂 if only you knew😂😂
6:42 I still get massive chills whenever I see Council Page expose Tarrlok as a bloodbender! Also when Tenzin tried to convince Tarrlok to give up, you kept urging them to attack saying don't let him do it, meaning don't let him bloodbend them. They had no way of knowing Tarrlok could bloodbend without a full moon unless they were following the moon's patterns for the month to know last night wasn't a full moon. Who's to say the calendar system in Avatar has a household version that shows you what phase the Moon is in?
I know it's a long way off but I can't wait to see their reaction to "Beginnings".
I guess a stronger bender could just bloodbend themselves and have more control than the other person bloodbending them.
It’s so funny that you guys sometimes switch the names of Korra and Katara 😂
I think that in the avatar finale, the energy beams were more symbolic and used to help visualize how Aang was manipulating the energy
Yes this was the one episode of season 1 I wanted to see your guys' reactions to.
7:38 Notice that Sokka was the last one to pass out, because he had been bloodbent before, and that wasn’t even as powerful as Yakone’s bloodbending
katara already said that sokka is dead
They know, he meant the show never said HOW Sokka died. Eric was hoping they weren't about to see him die a brutal bloodbending death.
ok yeah that makes sense
Jude Miller Well, in a previous episode (can't remember which) one of them wondered where Sokka was, even though Katara had already confirmed he died.
Jude Miller He likely died of old age.
Bloodbending death would be the most terrifying thing I would think in a world like that
At 4:03 the equalist on the right, I am pretty sure he is voiced by the same voice actor for Sokka in Avatar the Last Airbender. They sound so similar
lts Gzmo
Those two Equalised are actually voiced by the creators, Mike and Bryan.
I noticed that at the end, mako carrying the weekend Korra onto the flying bison, and pretty much all she does is smile up at him, is so similar to how Katara carried Aang out of the crystal catacombs and when she brought him back all he did was smile.
after watching the next EP i can't wait for the guys reaction to the last scene i was so shocked and happy at the same time
I cheered at 9:01 when Eric mouthed "Something else"
You know what's cool ? Aaron has the exact same beard as Aang, that's freakin awesome!
One great thing about being sick is that you know you have quality content to look forward to. Here we go. 😷👌🏼
Yeah boiiiiiiiii. Half an hour of pure fun and me smiling the whole time.
I am really enjoying your breakdown of the episodes! and the thing about the Legend of Kora series is that each season is either as good as the first or better. and it goes to some amazing places. cant wait for you guys to see season 2!
Yakone's "mutation" is that he can bloodbend without the full moon, unlike other water benders
"My brother and most of my friends are gone." -Katara 😾😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You guys are awesome!
When I heard the part about how airbenders will multiply, I was like "can't wait to see their reaction for what's coming up for this topic"!
Eric's face went so red when Aang went in the avatar state! haha
It's been years since I first saw Korra, and I've rewatched it a number of times, but watching Blindwave see the Amon and Tarrlok confrontation for the first time, somehow it got my heart pounding like it was *my* first time too.
This is my most favorite episode of this season not only because of the Aang memory(really loved it tho)but also because what was happening at present.This episode really is a blast 'out of the past'.
They seem to have forgotten that in the first episode Katara said that Saka is gone. Someone should remind them of it.
The flashback in this episode is on my top 3 moments for this season of Korra. One of my other top 3 moments is coming up very soon, and I absolutely cannot wait.
I don't really have much to say here without sounding repetitive. Your Korra reactions are so much fun. Definitely agree with Eric about Amon being an incredibly compelling villain. And with Clavin about that Mako and Korra moment at the end being.... awkward.
Your theories are also so interesting listening to, whether they're right or wrong, because you all put a lot of thought into it, and sometimes even when it's wrong it genuinely feels like "Huh, that's a direction the show could have gone in".
Glad you guys got some badass Aang, you'd been looking forward to that. :)
Can't wait for upcoming weeks, we're closing in.
I've been waiting for you guys to see this episode since season 3 of the Last Airbender. When you reacted to that and were talking about how you wanted to see them as adults, it was killing me to hold it in lol.
I just finished this video and now I'm gonna rewatch it. Yeah that's how much I'm loving this reactions and discussions, no shame in my game.
7:04 "It's treason then" 10/10
Thank you so much for another great reaction. :)
been waiting for these flashbacks!!!
'Korra is going to have to not rely on your old character favourites' - SEE. They get it, why tf can't you?
I love this episode because it connects Legend of Korra with the Last Airbender and secrets revealed from the past.
"I had to become someone else"
Did Eric mouth "become something else"?
aang was like
"aaaaaah, aaarrrghh, aaaahh- hah u thought"
oml I can't wait until you guys see season 3
