Good news for you her voice actress is also a POS.
Are you guys going to follow up with Legend of Korra?
You know they did comic books after the event of Aang defeating the true fire lord
Long time subscriber here and I dare you both to watch riddly scotts the last duel you have only watched the trailer watch the movie and show your reaction.
Dare I say one of the best finales in television? The writing was just wonderful.
Totally agree 💯
If they had actually animated the comic of Zuko and Azula going off to find their mother, i'd have called it perfect, as it stands its only half a hair below perfection
The music was spectacular too.
@@lewd2851There's a comic version where that happens?
One of the best episodes ever regardless of show
33:15 "I hate when I hear music like this, it makes me wanna be a better person"
Bruh I choked on my water 💀
Same! Bro it came so far out of nowhere 😭
Who knew that the 100 year war would end because of 6 kids who call themselves Team Avatar. The finale was 🔥
Don't forget Appa and Momo
35:55 Also this shot of all the nations coming together is pretty bittersweet when you realize that there’s no Air Nomads in the crowd. Aang is really all by himself as the last airbender and the last one of his people.
Don’t worry my guy gets busy in the near future lol
Also Toph never gets to reunite with her parents. Katara helps her write a letter in the runaway episode but we never get to see what happens after that
@@jakeperalta3493there are canon comics including one where she reunited with her father
@@than.imeiiiWhat happened to her mother? Did her mother die before they reunited?
@@LA_HA I think it was implied that her parents broke up around the time right after the show ended, then by the time su and lin are grown up and feeding toph mentions making su stay with her grandparents while they sort everything out so it’s somewhat known that she did fix her relations with them.
Honestly don’t think any reactors have hated Azula as much as you guys and I am here for it.
Yaboyroshi maybe. He said she got exactly what she deserved and called her a mentally unstable ass b*tch after she was defeated lol
Zuko vs Azula was a really sad situation, but damn if it isn't the best fight in A:tLA. From the music to the sound design to the animation. Perfection.
That whole fight sequence was awesome but like you said it was a sad situation but a necessary one but Zuko was still right in asking Katara to help him because she came in clutch Frfr 💯
@@Corey313 If we're being honest Katara wouldn't have had to clutch up if she wasn't there in the first place, first mistake was thinking Azula would have an honorable Agni Kai. if she wasn't there Zuko most likely would've been the one to defeat Azula
@@DestroyerThedefender That's true bro I'll give you that
I shed tears every time I watch the Last airbender over and over again,I'm glad we got to watch you two experience the journey
Fun fact about the voice actor for Azula-she also voiced Sokka and Katara's mom, Kya. I was shocked when I learned that!
I really think this is one of the greatest endings for a tv show out of all shows, not just "kids shows", or cartoons... its flawless
I’m so glad you guys understood why Aang didn’t kill the fire lord. How it was against his very moral and his teachings. He has to represent an entire culture of the Airbenders that are gone now. To kill someone, it does change you forever. Many see Aang as weak or taking a cop out, but he is strong to me. I’m so glad you guys enjoyed this show. This is truly one of the most magnificent shows of all time!
only cause he had a cop out deus ex machima
@@LuthoEng "deus ex machima" Christ, you are fucking dumb. Learn what words mean before using them. The Lion Turtles have been teased since early Book One and the creators even said they were written in from the beginning. Cope and seethe.
One of the cool bits is that, if you go back and watch Episode 19, none of the past Avatars actually tell Aang that he _has_ to kill Ozai. Roku tells him that he must be decisive, rather than wavering back & forth. Kyoshi tells him that his actions must bring justice. Kuruk tells him that he must be proactive in making his choice, rather than letting the world make the choice for him. And Yangchen tells him that he must sacrifice his needs for the world's _if_ it is required.
Roku says he wasn't decisive because he chose restraint and mercy instead. Clearly implying it was the wrong choice. Aang wasn't proactive in his choice. The answer, the lion turtle, came to him. You put a lot of emphasis on a word Yang Chen never used. She never said >IF
@@Ultimaniacx4 The show speaks of destiny a lot, and the Lion Turtle is an ancient super powerful being. It was convenient, but I don't think it was luck. The Lion Turtle found him and delivered him to where he needed to be intentionally.
@@Ultimaniacx4 It wasn't luck at all. I think you're missing the point of the Lion Turtle teaching Aang. The Lion Turtle tells Aang to bend someone else's energy their own will has to be unbendable. The other Avatars are willing to compromise their morals. Aang wasn't, and so the Lion Turtle sought him out to teach him the power that could bring balance back without having to kill Ozai.
@@consistentlystupid4726 He is fortunate that Lion ex Machina conveniently had the answer to his problem.
@@TheSyncos The greatest lesson of destiny the show offers is through Zuko and how you need to create your own destiny. Waiting for a power to come to you isn't very proactive.
“What’s his excuse?”
“He works for hell.”
Lmao!! Loved ya’lls reaction!! 😁
"I hate when I hear music like this bc it makes me want to become a better person" lmao that's real
the last Agni Kai when the sound effects are magnified and the music drops down is masterful. This finale is amazing
1: Sozin’s Comet only comes around once every 100 years, meaning Azula would’ve never experienced its overwhelming power (or the possible effects on her emotions) before.
2: Azula’s only two “friends” in the world had just betrayed her, and her father left her out of the mission that was *her idea* in the first place (side note: my head-canon is that Ozai left her behind because he no longer trusted her due to Zuko revealing her lies, so that’s her own fault 🤷🏻♀️).
Combine those things with her unresolved trauma over her mother’s abandonment and you’ve got a recipe for disaster. I feel bad for her situation, but Azula has no one to blame but herself for the choices she made. Also don’t know if you knew this, but she’s voiced by Grey DeLisle, who’s been the voice of Daphne from Scooby Doo for the longest time.
Edit: The fact that Ty Lee is now a Kyoshi Warrior means she would’ve taught them chi-blocking, which would put them on the same level as (some) benders.
I'm more of the mind that Ozai wanted all the glory for himself, which would tie in to why he both left her behind and dubbed himself Phoenix King after naming her Fire Lord
I hope she taught them that
Also, in a 2nd part of my first comment.
Fun fact: zach, the voice of aang, did all his voice recording at home. He didnt meet anyone else from the cast until he was about 18 years old.
Never knew that. Learn something new everyday Frfr 💯
Finale was peak writing.⛽️
It’s funny how y’all kept saying how it’s like a movie because when it aired, all 4 parts were released as a 2 hour finale.
Probably the greatest show FINALE EVER…a masterpiece of a show.
With all due respect to Struggle Soldier, Azula's voice actress is a sweetheart compared to her character
Most people are sweethearts compared to Azula.
Legend of Korra is nice! Avatar is tops, but Korra helps add a nice return to the world with some familiar faces.
There are some comics that happen after the show where team avatar go on adventures like finding Zuko’s mother if that interests you guys
“He works for hell” 😂😂😂
You KNOW the writers did a good job when they create a character that you hate so much that it leaks into the real word to hate the actress. Grey Delisle-Griffin, (Azula's voiceactor) is actually a sweet talented voice actress AND singer.
It's like in The Green Mile where the actor that played Percy who sabotaged an electric chair execution was hated so much that he ACTUALLY GOT DEATH THREATS from people because he played the character so well!
That isn't good. People being schizos about ACTORS PLAYING ROLES isn't a good thing the fact this even needs to be said is mind blowing. Everyone is so comfortable being ghetto and braindead in 2024 because it's cool to be black I guess 🤷♂️
Incredible comparison/reference.
I hate that she tried to flex her power and blacklist an independent animator for using AI voices in his free youtube video though. But the fact that she's a degenerate that ships Azula and Zuko almost makes up for it.
The difference is there's a hint of tragedy w/ Azula's backstory. Unfortunately, the show doesn't explore that as much as the comics.
Can't wait till you guys watch The Legend of Korra.
Yall forgetting toph couldn't touch azula with no bending during the eclipse , as strong as toph is she has a weakness to anything that doesn't attack from the ground and Azul a would have realized that five minutes into the battle and use it against her toph is at at huge disadvantage when it comes to people light on their feet like aang azula probably even people like ty lee
And Azula can fly.
Toph beating azula is pretty up in the air (50/50). Toph as badass as she is has a big weakness which is against people that are shifty and quick, like how she couldn't fight/see aang bc aang can float.
Also, just like Ozai broke through Aang’s rock shield, Azula could do the same to Toph.
Azula unfortunately would whoop Toph.
She is shifty but unlike aang, firebender is loud tho but idk. I'd say, on a normal day It would be a solid 60/40 in favor of toph, on comet szn azula clear 90/10
@@ipc2082 Toph has no way to properly defend against Azula. Azula’s first is strong enough it blasts rock. Also, we already saw Zuko easily defeat Toph. And it was an accident!
Azula is also incredibly smart, she was able to bypass Toph's ability to be able to tell lies from hearing their heartbeat. There's no doubt that she would find a way to exploit Toph's blindness
@@ritster21 Azula broke Aangs rock shield in The Drill episode with a sonic spin fireball. Also Toph's rock wall in The Chase with lightning.
But I think it's worth noting they nerf toph alot of the time because in situations like the end of "The Chase" where she decided to just move the ground under Azula and trip her, she could've literally just trapped her in rock at any time like she did in The Eclipse episode. Even before that when Azula fake surrendered, she could've trapped her to be safe.
Its one of those things where if you don't nerf a character intentionally, I guess it would be too easy.
If you're interested, there are comics that take place immediately after the end of the animated series, showing new challenges for the team avatar as a whole.
@11:16 "He works for Hell" took me OWT xD
I’m so glad I got to witness you guys finish this incredible journey. As someone who grew up on this show, even just seeing how this show affected y’all, all the ups and downs, the laughs and tears, everything was amazing coming from your reactions. Avatar: The Last Airbender will go down in history as one of the greatest shows of all time and I’m glad to revisit this series with y’all.🎉
I EARTH BENDED MY FACE INTO THE GROUND, AIR BENDED SO QUICKLY TO GET UP, FIRE BENDED THE VIDEO AND WATER BENDED OUTTA MY EYES CUZ YALL FINISHED IT... What a journey ❤
Ozai lucky this wasn’t a HBO show
What’s crazy is he was only like 12-13 and only really started his avatar journey less than a year before hand and he’s so powerful already . Their all hella young too and so powerful, which is one thing I can’t wait to see from them in their adult movie is how strong they are even in their mid 20s , and how strong the villain is to where the whole team (as strong as they are gunna be ) needs to take him on
LMFAO at both of you at the exact same time "OH SHIT!"
Fun Fact : The Creator has the intention to make the continuation after this with Zuko's Mom too but for unknown reason the animation Idea is Cancelled. Good thing is that the creator make the Spinoff Comics related to Zuko's Mom called "The Search".
Not counting the intro monologue, the first spoken word in 1x01 is Sokka saying "It's" and the last word of 3x21 is Toph saying "perfect."
Fun fact, Azula shares a voice actress with Delilah Briarwood from Vox Machina. Grey Griffin is amazing at voicing the villainess.
Katara can only bloodbend during a full moon. A lot of people seem to forget that.
in legend of korra the guy with the mask could do that all the time he did not need the moon
@@Nevertheless196because the writing in the legend of Kora was awful. You shouldn't take anything it does seriously. Its more like a April fools joke.
@@iamtotallynot123 i did not like it as well
@@Nevertheless196 So? That was explained in the series. Turns out techniques evolve over 70 years. As of this series, there are two known blood benders, and it's explicitly stated that only during the full moon are they strong enough.
Nickelodeon really went downhill after this show ended. This is one of my favorite shows of all time. I made my girlfriend watch it for the first time a few years ago and she's been a massive fan since. This show is phenomenal. An actual masterpiece
There's a comic called "The Search" that will give you some of the things you are looking for. There's quite a few post show comics for this one, but that one specifically is what you're looking for.
Here’s something that a few people overlook: when Ozai made himself Phoenix King and had Azula be Firelord it was pretty much a meaningless title. Cause what’s a Firelord to the king of the world?
I think Ozai would trust Azula to do what she wants with the fire nation while Ozai fucks up the rest of the world
It would be like a crown heir title for a prince or princess. The Firelord next in line to be Phoenix King. A prestigious thing to be the vassal of the homeland and empire’s capital. I assume there would have been rulers in each territory of the empire with the PK as emperor.
People always point that out as if it's insightful or something. That's any basic government structure. The president can't govern over every state or town individually. Being a mayor or governor isn't a powerless position.
Firelord is not a meaningless title. Why are you so clueless?
Azula got the Urien treatment
Azula is voiced by Grey Delisle-Griffin, who is the voice actress for Daphne (Scooby Doo)
You start this show cursing Zuko for hounding the Avatar
By the end, you are rooting for him to change his family's destiny and steer the fire nation in the right direction. It takes some damn good writers to make you feel all of that for the same character.
What does that say for Azula?
I CLICKED SO FASSSTTT! So hyped!
35:11 I feel like its not spoken enough on how Ty Lee has gone from being unsettled by being part of a set to being part of a group that is a set. She left home because she couldnt find her individuality within her group of 7 identical twin sisters but now she's part of the Kyoshi Warriors and loving it and able to see herself as her own person despite being in a set of girls
I loved this ending for her
FUNFACT: after Toph metal bended people to the walls of the airship, they nevered showed them freeing the firebenders from the control room before destroy the airship, only the lower deck crews. so its likely they were still welded to the walls when they crashed and got oblitterated
Not even the first time someone dies in this show as a direct result of the Gaang, I refuse to believe they didn't catch at least 500 bodies throughout the entire series
@@pabloc8808I agree 💯
@@pabloc8808aang included he was tearing down fire nation air balloons on the day of black sun 😂
@@lfg2.050 That wasn't the first time either, there's no way no one died when the Fire Nation attacked the Northern Air Temple to get the Mechanist, or when Aang went Godzilla mode vs Zhao's fleet on the North Pole
Yea, this show os barely a kids show. It's a fact that that the gang has killed numerous people. I mean, they're in a war so you have to kill others in order to survive.Ngl though, It's still pretty dark to think those guys welded in the walls got super roasted by the amount of fire that came out of the explosion. Imagine getting cooked alive while wrapped in metal, which literally conducts heat? Ouch😭
the finale of finales like this was some legendary shit
There are comics that are a direct continuation of the show, and in these comics you learn about what happened to Zuko‘s mom
Thank you for taking us along the journey with ya'll. Been a pleasure rewatching one of the best written shows in television.
“He works for hell.” is fckng funny!😂
Loved watching you guys react to this!
One thing Reactors always forget, Katara isn’t able to blood bend without a full moon. There’s no full moon during the comet.
A lot of people say that Zuko’s Battle against Azula is the best but if u pay attention to Anng’s Battle is definitely the best since the beginning, seeing Aang trying to scape and in the end he shows us the power of the Avatar State, that’s nuts. All is so perfect in this sow.
Loved how much you guys were into this show. One of my childhood/all time favorite shows, one of the best
I hope that you guys are going to do Legend of Korra next, for all its faults it’s a good and decent continuation of the series.
I still remember the day this aired. I was at a family reunion, and some of my older (by like a year, mind) cousins were allowed to stay up and watch, while I had to go to bed with the younger cousins.
I watched the finale through a cracked door, crouching on the hardwood floors. Words cannot describe the incandescent rage I had that evening.
33:13 "Man I hate when I hear music like this because it makes me want to become a better person" 😂
“If this shit was called The Toph it make a lot of sense” 😭😭
There are comics that are even now still coming out, that detail the next year or two of team Avatars story. Well worth reading and a beautiful way of including Zuko and Azula’s mom
Such an iconic show. Brilliant reaction. Really appreciate how you guys kept it light and made us laugh while acknowledging the powerful themes.
A beautiful ending to a great animated series
who need the eclipse ? they're defeating fire nation when they are at the peak of they're power because of the sozin's comet !! it so freakin awesome..
I'd like to add that Azula was also ab*sed by her father. In the comics, she does receive her redemption arc. She suffered mentally with what her father put her through. She even blamed her mother for leaving her to the hands of her father.
Not sure if it's been mentioned, but Azula's voice actress has said that she has never seen her performance in the finale after the agni kai because she had to channel some really deep emotions for that scene. Apparently it was pretty traumatic.
After all these years this remains one of the greatest animated series of all time!
Just one small connection even if Katara wanted to blood bend she couldn't she can only do it during the full moon but everything else was in point
Probably my favourite Avatar reactions start to end I've seen. And I've seen a lot haha. Great time watching your reactions!
And fuck Azula! No redemption wanted.
Azula: "No redemption given."
a very important thing about azulas character, is when all this happens, shes like 14 yeas old. thats why she breaks. shes just a kid under a literal mountain of pressure, expectation, and scrutiny
Amazing story, great conclusion to zuko and aang stories
I had to go to my stepdads family function during the nickelodeon premiere of sozens comet and I forced them to change the channel. Hella people ended up watching the series finale w me because it was so dope!! No one else had ever seen an episode!! 😂
😂😂😂😂 Fn Diabolical mate!!
oddly enough azula does actually have a redemption arc in the comics after they find the mom
Aaaaaaah, I say it’s a work in progress. While one of the writers have said that Azula was planned to have a redemption down the road, I wouldn’t say it started until the “Spirit Temple” comic.
And even that feels less “start of a redemption quest” and more “step in the right direction”.
“whats his excuse”
Me: Guys he was ALWAYS like this and more info read The Search (Avatar Comics) yeah trust me OZAI WAS ALWAYS LIKE THAT
1:15 This is not where it stops, the comics continue the story in such a great way(including the Zuko mom story), you have to read at least The Promise and The Search, so so so good. Plus there are some prequel books about the previous avatars, that are great as well.
Now you guys understand when people wanna make a movie or netflix series...we have a HIGH standard on how it should be...
Yup 100%, a show like this has to be done right for it to work down to the designs & the characters. It’s that type of show that you have to get right or just don’t do it all if you can’t ☝️
Be sure to check out the comics that follow this, they answer a lot of your questions about what happens after. So glad you guys reacted to this.
There are comics that cover the story of Zukos mother and the other adventures after this/before Korra if y’all wanna check them out. Glad you guys enjoyed! 🫶👏👏💯
Aang unlocking the avatar state and grabbing Ozai's beard, hopping up and mean mugging him, that never fails to get me hype
An absolutely timeless story that still holds up to if not surpasses many other series today
Zuko's Mom makes an appearance in the Comics. This is the only thing that gives you insight on what happened, why it happened and how it's going now.
Was awesome to rewatch Avatar with you guys, the only thing I enjoy more than watching it is seeing others experience it for the first time.
Fun fact:
The scene where Aang does energy bending is supposed to be his and the Firelord's souls turning inside out. How awesome is that?
" I hate when I hear music like this, cause it makes me want to be a better person " is the funniest shit I've ever heard😂😂😭😭
22:00 the entire Avatar gang have and will definitely catch bodies. Look what they did at the Northern Air temple in season 1 and how they invaded the Earth Kingdom’s palace
there are comics that continue right where it left off!! i think it’s the second comic that explores zuko’s mom
There are some comics that take place after the show where Zuko goes to find his mom . And Azula got put in an insane asylum
The battles were both intense and held their own emotional weight. Aang vs Ozai was for the course of history and the fate of the world. Aang was fighting the legacy of imperialism that genocide his people and he’s taking a stand against that force while struggling with his morals. The very morals that are the cultural DNA of his people, as if to say had Aang fought like firebender or others that would be the cultural death, the second death of his people. Aang brought justice and was victorious without turning on his cultural heritage.
And then you have the personal and tragic conflict between siblings. To see brother and sister fight like that is a sad commentary in itself and about how this war and the fire nations own agenda has destroyed their own people and turned them against each other, represented by the rift between the royal heirs. The melancholic music only adds to the tragic reality of this Agni Kai between Zuko and Azula. And in the end Azula breaks down showing what her father and national ambitions have done to her. She was broken with no one to fall back on.
6:30😂 yall remember when u wanted toph gone back when she was being mean in s2?
17:45 damn a shame too cause the VA for azula is actually the complete opposite of her character. She showed the show to her own kids and they hated the character and couldn't believe she voiced that villain lmao. Also, toph is built to fight but to be an avatar is a whole different conversation, aang was goofy and silly especially at the beginning but due to being raised by monks that taught him discipline and empathy he is far more suited to be an avatar as the avatar not just fights but must understand others, and bring balance through communication. In korra you will see what I mean, also there was a comic strip of avatar yengchen explaining to aang who asked "why is the avatar human?". But I get your point and I feel the frustration with what you think should happen
Drew and Joe really locked in with the finale. They are seated upright and was really feeling the final fight of Aang vs Ozai and Zuko vs Azula.
ATLA will always be a top tier show ❤ When Aang got access to the Avatar state again goosebumps always.
Read the books to find out about zuko's mom and everything after the war and then watch the legend of korra.
One of the greatest series ever, one of the greatest animated series ever & arguably the greatest finale of all time. Hope u guys do LOK to continue the story. Hell even the comics they did to show after the finale. Theres videos online that do a quick summary etc. LOK is solid never can be in the same ilk as this iconic series but it has its moments. Especially one at the end of season 1 that always brings a tear to my eyes.
Such a good finale, I really hope you guys give Legend of Korra a watch as it is the direct sequel to The Last Airbender and has some great call backs to characters from the original series.
I can't wait for The Legend of Korra next
There is a comic about what happened to the mom. It's called The Search. I think you can find its summary here on UA-cam.
Such a great series. Ive seen it probably 20x times first to last. Classic
The only "hero not killing" moment I like more than this is the Daredevil finale
"You dont get to destroy who I am"
Writing a interesting and compelling character that doesnt kill is hard because a lot of people can find it annoying or lame or they know it could easily solve the conflict of the story
every time I watch these last two episodes/watch reactions to them, the music for Zuko and Azula's duel gives me goosebumps.
If only Nickelodeon had done a deal with Fandom Events to play the same night of the series finale of ATLA, so fans could watch the last 4 episodes in dark, chill, with a cold drink in one hand, nachos and popcorn on your lap and hotdog with m&m candles in your other hand and other fans to share the experience with. What could be a better way to watch the series finale?
This was LORD OF THE RINGS level of emotions.
ATLA is a timeless classic for all ages that leaves you wanting for more. I am glad you both enjoyed it as much as I did and always will.
