Hey Scott I just wanted to say thanks for keeping the Avatar section of the video pretty PG, I'm gonna watch it with my little brother bc we both LOVE Avatar. Hope you enjoy the rest of the show!
the idea that anyone thinks they could pick anything up from the pilot to predict the ending of PLL, one of the most convoluted, unhinged shows to ever exist, is truly setting yourself up for failure, minor trauma, and a massive migraine. we love to see it
I watched PLL intermittently with my wife. I'd tune in and watch an episode or two, and then miss one or two. Every time I came back after missing an episode, everything was different and like 5 plot lines had been concluded while another 10 had been started. That show is crazy
honestly every mistake he made somehow came down to aparently not considering expanding the cast and thus giving every trait to charecters who show up in the first episode.
him talking about zuko killing his uncle while trying to kill aang, almost the same thing that azula did when she almost killed zuko when he got in front of her to protect katara
I feel like not realizing Zuko's father is the leader of the fire nation is the big thing he missed and that might've improved his predictions but I guess that might not be stated in the first episode.
@@bc3722 Probably, I guess Scott must've missed that. He did notice how Zuko said his ancestors were looking for the Avatar too but I guess he didn't realize what that meant.
Scott pleaseeee do this again but next time watch it with Dylan as like a collab and you guys compare your predictions to see who got more right, I feel like it’d be so much fun
@@gigikju9934 He did betray Iroh in a very dramatic moment though, so I'd say he had the gist of Zuko's journey from that. Although ironically, he thought Zuko would be exiled for betraying Iroh when that's the exact opposite of how that goes
Scott should cover Once Upon a Time next. The pilot episode is phenomenal, and based on how crazy the family tree ends up being, it would be hilarious to see Scott guess.
oh no i just finished it... till the last season eith emma.. but what a wild ride that show was... i cant day i liked it but i couldn't stop watching it
It's amazing that the role that was given to Sokka is actually what Toph becomes when she joins the Gaang. And Zuko's "crazy" moment is actually Azula. Not bad!!!
Honestly, I had thought the same thing right up till we got Toph and then I was like y'know what? Not mad, The Sokka twist sounded cool in my brain but if it meant no Toph - pffft not worth it.

Sooo with Jenna and her being blind she WAS blind and then she WASN'T but she then she WAS again. So by the end of the show she is, in fact, blind. But there was a hot second where she wasn't blind anymore.
to go off that, the REASON she regained her vision was bc she had surgery, and lost it again because the surgery just stopped working or something I think? it’s been a minute lol
@@notamberp "Your trial version of SIGHT-GIVING SURGERY has expired. Please renew your license to continue BEING ABLE TO SEE" is a pretty annoying popup to get, especially when you're in the middle of traffic.
I re-watch ATLA at least once a year. It's honestly one of the most well produced series I've ever seen, probably one of the best in the world. The plot never gets lost, every character is fleshed out and interesting, every character arc makes sense, they make you feel an intense range of emotions, and it comes to a satisfying conclusion. There's literally only 4 or 5 filler episodes in the whole series. Nearly every episode advances the plot, or teaches you something new about the world/characters. I could binge the whole thing in a day, and still want to watch it again the next day.
let's not forget that the creepy teacher had a thing with Alison a year b4 he even met Aria and that's why he was sooo into writting his dumb book ! He knew that Aria was a minor but she wasn't even the youngest girl he's been with...
And not only that, but when Spencer starts to suspect there's something off with him (which she didn't know it was The Book, but she knew it was Something Big) and gets proof, he still's able to convince the other girls that she's crazy. Spencer, you know, the girl who had previously been put in a mental health facility and had a problem with drugs, and he takes advantage of both of these things to discredit her when she was right! AND THEN ARYA MARRIES HIM AT THE END AND THEY'RE ALL HAPPY FOR HER LIKE??????
The way media portrays inappropriately older creepy men as romantic prospects for girls, literal GIRLS. Not even grown ups is soooo....feels like covert grooming and normalization.
What makes it creepier is that Alison's actress was even *younger* than Alison herself, so picturing Sasha Pieterse "having fun" with the teacher becomes even worse
Mike’s Mic absolutely needs to be on the next one. he has a series where he breaks down the plot of PLL and i have not seen a minute of the show yet i sat through hours of him breaking it down
Scott could watch season 3 premiere and then guess again and Mike tells him about the cece finale 😂 there’s so much throughout the show he could definitely figure out a way to do another video
To be fair to the writers, that twin thing was only the conclusion to the unnecessarily tacked on finale season. It was like 10 episodes I think? The real finales to the two biggest arcs would be season 2’s and 6’s. Though, mind you the second arc’s twist isn’t much better than a twin.
smart enough to write something clear and self-consistent for sleuthy fans to connect the dots, not smart enough to avoid changing everything in a temper tantrum fit to get one over on their loyal fans
Nice to see Dylan’s schedule is as consistent as always. The only things certain in this life: death, and watching Dylan every week Happy monday everyone
the fact that your prediction was more sane than the real PLL is hilarious. They barely knew where they were going let alone you being able to, you did good.
bloodbending was so scary and they really put a good emphasis on why it was used, and why it shouldn't be used in the future. they did a really good job of maturely getting it across to kids without talking down to them (Avatar's biggest strength hands down). also terrifying, and the Halloween episode!
Yeah avatars biggest strength is how well it tells the story in a engaging and mature way that children can understand, but then layer that with things that adults can understand and find deeper meaning in. Really interesting having watched the show as a child to then watch it as an adult and still get the same feeling of the first time watching because so many things feel mature and well fleshed out that you wouldn’t really pick up the full depth as a child
I'm rewatching Avatar with my bf (his first time) and it's insane how well it holds up Literally every single episode I tell him "this one is peak" and he just says "you say every damn episode is peak"
@@rando843 Every episode *is* peak. They never stop topping themselves. (Excluding The Painted Lady, The Great Divide, and The Ember Island Players. I always joke that M.Night.Shamalamadingdong only watched The Ember Island Players episode, and based the entire movie off of it.)
Yeah its pretty obvious lol. Within the first 2 episodes we gets lots of hints to it. Plus its a pretty typical character arc, bad guy is bad due to circumstances, becomes good guy when realizes hes being bad. Of course, Zukos arc is the single greatest version of that arc ive ever seen and it deviates from that arc in quite a few ways.
It is. A few of us were able to predict it too even when the episodes were just coming out 18 Years ago (so old). To be fair, just because it's obvious, doesn't mean it wasn't well done .
I mean it's a known trope in writing, enemies turned friends/mentors. It's only like a 50/50 guess for what Zuko's whole character arc is after the first episode
ATTENTION ALL: I just started watching Pretty Little Liars because of this video and Emily’s boyfriend did get into an altercation with her where another character saves her. +1 letter grade for Scott.
@@gabriellepriest5007maybe half point, because he did get violent with Em, but not because he found out she was lesbian, it was because she didn't want to make out with him, so he was almost completely right haha
it's pretty neat to see someone in their 20s discover Avatar for the first time. it was such a defining show for a lot of that generation growing up and i'm glad someone who missed out on that can get the chance to experience it. edit: Scott: "Zuko's gonna get banished" how could he be so far off yet so on the mark at the same time
I actually think you deserve major points for the guess about Emily's boyfriend attacking her. There's a scene in season one where Ben (the boyfriend) confronts her about acting differently around him lately (which, unbeknownst to him, is due to Emily questioning her sexuality). He attempts to sexually assault her but Toby (Jenna's stepbrother) saves Emily and kicks Ben's ass. So you were pretty much right on with that one!
Dylan saying he knows A to Z about Pretty Little Liars was shockingly accurate when you revealed his deal is watching the first and last episodes of shows 😂
Scott predicting that Zuko will get banished from the fire nation without knowing that Zuko is already banished from the fire nation is hilarious to me.
I would love to see you do this with the Vampire Diaries and have Jenny Nicholson as your expert guest (also, as everyone else suggested, Mike’s Mic as the expert for either Glee or Gossip Girl)
I would love to see you predict "The Good Place" if you haven't seen it, but I also don't know if it is a good idea because that show is so much better without spoilies!
I watched that show and loved it. I only started it because I heard the twist. Turns out it was only the twist up to the end of the first season. That and the rest were so amazing so I can confirm it won’t ruin the show if he gets it spoiled. Still very enjoyable
PLL really seems like one of those shows where they do twists for the sake of doing twists and they figure out if it makes sense AFTER cementing a twist instead of building it up like writers who actually know what they're doing
Seriously. Throwing out entire plot points because some of your millions of viewers guessed they would happen? The whole reason plot twists are enjoyable is because you can go back and realize all the bread crumbs leading up to them. If you have a plot twist with no bread crumbs, you're not a writer, you're a monkey banging on a keyboard. Like, I can write a story and have random shit happen all the time with no build up or hints that it would happen, but that's not enjoyable for a reader at all. People want hints and clues and build up. Well, the PLL writers are literally people who support pedophilic relationships between teachers and students, so what do you expect from them?
I remember watching this show when it came out, so we got a new episode every week and then a couple months break between seasons. It’d be on like season 3 and they’d show a flashback to some random scene in season 1 and I was just like “wtf that was two years ago, why are we bringing that up now??” I was going to rewatch the series consecutively to try and make sense of it all, but then I just watched Mike’s Mic’s recap of it lol
You should have brought Dylan in for a The OC, and you ABSOLUTELY should do one of these with Mike's Mic (he would have been PERFECT for Pretty Little Liars, but perhaps you'll do this again for Gossip Girl? Please!).
I get flashbacks every time someone mentions that movie 😭 my parents bought the whole family tickets to see it in theaters cuz they knew I loved the show so much. And you can probably guess how I felt about it lmao
@@sas.tronaut5055 I don't get how a director can have literal audio/video source material, and still fk it up so bad. Did he not think fans of the show would notice that he mispronounced literally 70% of the characters names? I like to say that the only episode he ever watched was The Ember Island Players.
Jenna was blinded by Allison and the liars setting off a firecracker in her garage when they were all freshmen. The explosion blinds her. At some point in the show, she gets surgery and regains vision in one eye, but then goes blind again.
Your guess at Sokka learning earthbending is interesting!!! It DOES totally make sense for a show like this to have one team member of each bending affinity, and they DO pick up an earthbender later in the series, but it's not him. Good guess given the info that the first episode gave you!
The fact that Scott has different math but had a very similar conclusion for ATLA is amazing. It’s like an alternate universe where someone tried to change the timeline but time tried to remain consistent.
I watched the entirety of pll as a child with my mother ( same goes for avatar) and let me tell you that it is probably the most complicated thing in existence. The multiple “A’s”, the girls at some point gets kidnapped and forced to think they have to torture each other, deaths everywhere and multiple spin offs. I can’t even begin to remember all of it even as a person who has watched the entire thing
I also didn't watch ATLA as a kid because we didn't have cable. I watched it the first time at age 28, and it totally holds up! Definitely high enough quality to enjoy without the childhood nostalgia.
some extra info that might help! 1. so the first A ends up being Mona Vanderwal (Hanna's best friend who alison used to make fun of but became cool with hanna after alison went missing). Mona is a legit psycho but super smart 2. emily and ben actually did get into an altercation. they were in the locker room and he still doesn't know she's gay. he tries to force himself onto her, but Toby, Jenna's "scary" step brother runs in and fights him off of her, and emily and toby become friends 3. the cop from the first episode, detective Wilden, does end up dead. he turns out to be a crooked cop and actually kind of knew alison because he dated one of her friends (not one of the protags), Cece 4. Cece later becomes an A. she turns out to be alison's sister. Cece is actually trans but they don't go super deep into that. Cece used to be Charles and he was an "odd" child, so they sent him to the sanitarium. Cece grows up and lives her life but resents Alison and her friends for the life, family, and friends that she never had 5. for the jenna thing, they do cause jenna to be blind, but later she gets a surgery that she pretends doesnt work, but it does. even later her vision starts to go again but I think it comes back again? idk it was confusing 6. Spencer and Toby get together and are actually a really strong couple for a lot of the show if anyone has any more questions I am MORE than happy to answer
@@krissybee123 No your right but also wrong? basically Ally and Spencer are cousins because her mom his Alisons sister But Jason and Spencer are half siblings because they have the same dad and Cece is her half sister because they have the same mom.
This isn’t just an exercise in how well you can imagine a show ending. But I think it shows how well written the shows are. The second show changed to avoid fan theories so its hard to predict. Whereas Avatar is very well written and everything is foreshadowed and hinted at really early. That’s why it’s so loved, the writing just makes so much sense
I refuse to believe Scott didn't have anything spoiled for him with ATLA. I had the whole show spoiled before I even thought about watching it, and it was still the best show. I am liking your alternate version (if it wasn't with my babies.)
I think he might have heard things and subconsciously remembered them because I feel like Zuko is always brought up in every redemption arc discussion online so I knew vaguely about it when I got around to watching ATLA. And other things were just obvious.
idk i didn’t watch it for the first time until 3-4 years ago and zuko having a redemption arc was spoiled for me because i heard so many people saying it bc was the best redemption arc they’d ever seen but i hadn’t been spoiled for anything else so i guess it just depends what circle of the internet you’re on
I think it depends heavily on the circles you run in. I'd watched the first season as it aired and didn't know anything else about the about the series until I finished it as an adult Edited to add: and I met the Zuko voice actor before that!
Just depends on what you watch. My entire family have never even heard of Avatar. It's like other anime or cartoon shows, unless you watch them..... you wouldn't know
I watched ATLA as a young teen, and watched it again at 22, and I still think it’s one of the best TV shows ever made. The world building, characters, animation, music, are all so good and hold up nearly two decades later.
That is literally EXACTLY what I just did a few days ago and I’m thoroughly convinced that it’s the best show ever made and no one can prove me wrong 🤷🏻♀️
100% agree!! I remember when new episodes of ATLA was coming out, it was a whole event on Nickelodeon in Sweden! I was so enthralled, even as a young teen! What a time to be alive!! It's really fantastic. My dad was just as excited as I was as well, which is also a testament to how good it is if both adults and kids can enjoy it!
The cool part about his predictions of atla or just in general is that hes almost never wrong, its just using new material: ex sokka wont teach aang earthbending bc toph exists, but scott has no idea who toph is and he needed someone to fill the earthbender role. Or how zuko goes crazy but in the show its azula whos not introduced for a while
you literally can’t spoil avatar for yourself, it’s not really about the plot but more so about the storytelling. rewatching it for the 4th time already
Not about the plot more about the storytelling is the PERFECT way to describe that show. I had Zuko's arc spoiled for me but the actual journey of it was still incredibly emotional to watch
As for PLL, I believe Jenna wasn't full blind at some point, BUT she was blind in the last episode when she could smell that Spencer is not Spencer I believe that Jenna went to an operation to make her sight better, but it made her completely blind afterwards Also! You guessed that A is the first letter of a name. A is for Alex
In all fairness to Scott, Avatar's first two episodes are extremely short and don't give a lot of information. The show's tone takes a complete shift around Episode 7. It also dumps a lot of lore. Scott literally missed out on important info by just a few episodes that would have helped him shape his guesses better (aka Sokka not being born with bending, and bending being tied to genetics).
Hearing Scott describe certain aspects of possibly the most iconic redemption arc in all of fiction just. COMPLETELY wrong is the funniest thing possible. The concept of Zuko killing Iroh is absolutely bonkers to me xD
You and Dylan were the best parts of this entire video 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. The pretty little liars show was wild but listening to y’all talk about the plot and how it ended out loud just makes it that much more ridiculous and I love it.
not me being like "hey this series is similar to something dylan does where he watches the first and last episode" only to see that he is IN the video! what a lovely little surprise!
I thought for sure when you said you were bringing in a Pretty Little Liars expert, it was going to be Mike's Mic lol, so I'm glad you gave him and his PLL videos a shoutout at the end
I adore Community, but it doesn't have much of an overarching plot. I'd love to see him review the Glee-style Christmas episode. I die laughing every time I see the Annie scene.
As someone who’s never seen PLL watching you guys talk about it was absolutely hilarious as there was no point in time when I could tell if you were joking or actually describing the plot
When Scott said he was going to do PLL as a show, I was going "man I hope the expert is Mike's Mic" because that would be greatly chaotic. I'm also glad to see Dylan though too (since when I saw the first of these videos I thought they were similar to Dylan's series)! I think I'm too into the deep dive analysis/commentary channels, haha.
I love the multiple reiterations that Zuko is "low rank" when he is literally the prince of the Fire Nation lol. Ofc, he is in exile at the start of the show and I'm not sure they mention he's the prince in ep. 1 but that made me laugh. ALSO, did PLL release a new season in like the last, 4 years or so?? Because I had been under the impression I finished the series but CLEARLY NOT 😂
When people were hyped about this, I was still stuck watching PBS shows like Cyberchase. But it’s really cool to go back and see it blind - it really does live up the hype.
I would love to see a check in video from Scott about how he feels about Avatar after he finishes the show. It is just that good. Also, so cool to see Dylan on here. Never thought I would see Scott and him together.
I have since watched Avatar and can confirm it is indeed very good.
Scotty like the melody in my HEAD
watch atla its the best
We need a ATLA review after you watch it.
@@WorkingClassMagic please seriously
Hey Scott I just wanted to say thanks for keeping the Avatar section of the video pretty PG, I'm gonna watch it with my little brother bc we both LOVE Avatar. Hope you enjoy the rest of the show!
That second expert is so talented idk who he is but I'd love it if he had his own youtube channel
omg dylan HI
If only he had a film degree from a university that totally existed!
i love you
he's like super incredibly handsome too
@@KatieInTheLight fashion god as well
I was DYING at Dylan’s excitement to explain the twin plot
i think it’s so funny that dylan has a very small amount of knowledge about the show and he’s still as happy about it as i would be
Imagine Scott's expression if he heard this was the SECOND twin plot. I'm pretty sure BOTH Allison and Spencer had a secret twin.
@@mechengr1731 alison only had a twin in the book not the show. The only secret twin plot in the show was spencer and alex 😭
the idea that anyone thinks they could pick anything up from the pilot to predict the ending of PLL, one of the most convoluted, unhinged shows to ever exist, is truly setting yourself up for failure, minor trauma, and a massive migraine. we love to see it
I laugh every time some does this with PLL. I can’t wait in like ten years when people try with Riverdale.
Minor trauma is Spencer storyline
literally
The writers didn’t even know how it was going to end, smh
I watched PLL intermittently with my wife. I'd tune in and watch an episode or two, and then miss one or two. Every time I came back after missing an episode, everything was different and like 5 plot lines had been concluded while another 10 had been started. That show is crazy
It’s funny how Scott fully combined Zuko and Azula’s arcs.
My thought exactly
honestly every mistake he made somehow came down to aparently not considering expanding the cast and thus giving every trait to charecters who show up in the first episode.
He also kinda sorta combined Sokka and Toph😭
him talking about zuko killing his uncle while trying to kill aang, almost the same thing that azula did when she almost killed zuko when he got in front of her to protect katara
He also combined Sokka's with Bolin's 😂
If you think Zuko's insane. Wait until you see Azula
Yea i feel like all of his predictions for Zuko actually line up really well with Azula
[insert maniacal laughter here]
I think that Azusa has some serious issues, man.
Zuko has the best character arc in ATLAB.
I can fix her
Next time, bring Dylan back but do the OC so he can REALLY be the expert 😂
hahah i was thinking exactly the same
YES
OMG YEs! If you have not scene this glorious BEAUTY of a show, bring Dylan back. He deserves to have a good Californian mooshu pork moment!
lol
I feel like not realizing Zuko's father is the leader of the fire nation is the big thing he missed and that might've improved his predictions but I guess that might not be stated in the first episode.
doesnt zuko literally get called “prince zuko” by the people on his ship 💀
@@bc3722 Probably, I guess Scott must've missed that. He did notice how Zuko said his ancestors were looking for the Avatar too but I guess he didn't realize what that meant.
@@bc3722 I'm not sure if the people on the ship said it in this episode, but Iroh calls him prince a couple times.
@@bc3722 I think that’s the second because this one ends before aang is taken away and there’s more backstory
Yeah don’t think it was. If he watched the first 2, I think he nails more of the plot
Scott pleaseeee do this again but next time watch it with Dylan as like a collab and you guys compare your predictions to see who got more right, I feel like it’d be so much fun
YESS, i love this idea!
i wish they did that
Fr
YESS THAT'LL BE AWESOME
YES PLEASE
If he knew about Toph, he would have guessed everything right.
Zuko didn’t kill Iroh tho
@@gigikju9934 He did betray Iroh in a very dramatic moment though, so I'd say he had the gist of Zuko's journey from that. Although ironically, he thought Zuko would be exiled for betraying Iroh when that's the exact opposite of how that goes

And azula
Scott should cover Once Upon a Time next. The pilot episode is phenomenal, and based on how crazy the family tree ends up being, it would be hilarious to see Scott guess.
Oh god. It starts off so damn good.
@@brittvaughn9447the first season was awesome!!
I love once upon a time! I hated the last season tho. But that's juut me
oh no i just finished it... till the last season eith emma.. but what a wild ride that show was... i cant day i liked it but i couldn't stop watching it
Ugh he should end it with season 6 tho literally the seventh is trash
It's amazing that the role that was given to Sokka is actually what Toph becomes when she joins the Gaang. And Zuko's "crazy" moment is actually Azula. Not bad!!!
fs. he guessed the plotpoints mostly correctly and prob would've been spot on if he knew toph and azula would come in.
Yeah the only dead wrong parts were results of him not knowing some characters existed yet
Also ATLA’s first ep is actually meant to be a two parter with the second ep which would’ve probably add at least a few more context clues
Sokka being an earth bender would be so fun. Like he grew up around ice and water so he would never have know until he’s on land
Oh, I love that! That'd be so interesting!
kinda breaks the whole world building and power system but yea would be kinda cool. he definitely gives off earth bender vibes personality wise
@Bro Idk unless Hakoda wasn't his real Dad!!!! Or they adopted him and never told anyone!
Omg that would’ve been amazing. His whole life he didn’t realize he was an earth bender!
Honestly, I had thought the same thing right up till we got Toph and then I was like y'know what? Not mad, The Sokka twist sounded cool in my brain but if it meant no Toph - pffft not worth it.
It would be cool to see you try to predict either Gossip Girl or Glee's ending and maybe get Mic's Mic as your expert
This would be an amazing video
oh my god yes
I suggested this too :)
Plz ! Would be amazing
literally i was like why isnt he the pll expert
I think the most surprising thing about this series to me is how he managed to avoid any spoilers for these shows over the years.
7 months late here, but if you're not invested in a show's fandom, you don't hear much about it. Even if some of your friends or ppl around you talk about the show, it's not like you know the characters' names or what's happening so nothing you hear is actually gonna stick unless you *want* to spoil things for yourself.
Coming from someone who's kinda avoided most mainstream movies and tv shows my whole life for some reason and yet haven't spoiled them for myself (e.g. ATLA)
@@drdramatik really really really depends on what platforms you are one. i for one have a tumblr account so i could tell you A Lot about the ending of supernatural even though ive never made it through the first season of that show.
for a while avatar was kinda niche, in more recent years it's become really popular again but it was,t that hard before i think lol
I dunno, I know Avatar is popular but I never really hear spoilers for it
I feel like any time I see something on the topic of redemption arcs they bring up Zuko
Sokka's actual arc is so much more satisfying in the show. I'm glad they kept him powerless because I'M powerless :O
Sokka is amazing, probs my fave character in the show. Along with Toph.
Should have done that in My Hero Academia with Midoriya becoming the first quirkless hero
He's not powerless, he's a genius in the world of Avatar
Did you not see him with the sword
He's literally me
Scott guessing Zuko's story then saying he's gonna teach Aang firebending is the same as doing all the wrong maths but still getting the right answer
i was literally going to comment the same thing lol!!
no no it’s him saying he’s going to be exiled 🤣🤣 when he already is
you did it wrong but also right lmao
"This angsty little punk Zuko." Made me laugh harder than it had any right to 😂
I just thought: "That's probably the most accurate description."
As someone who only watched ATLA last year, please give it a chance. It’s a classic show. So much emotion.
Definitely agree! Also I would put the first episode near the bottom in terms of quality over the course of the show, so if you liked the first episode you should love the rest of it.
It’s possibly the most hilarious show compared to riverdale
it's damn beautiful is what it is. I recently rewatched it and regret nothing
I watched it a year or two ago as well and I can confirm, this is one of the few instances where the nostalgia checks out. We need more shows like it.
I watched it for the first time when I was like 23, and I'm so glad I finally did :D
Sooo with Jenna and her being blind she WAS blind and then she WASN'T but she then she WAS again. So by the end of the show she is, in fact, blind. But there was a hot second where she wasn't blind anymore.
to go off that, the REASON she regained her vision was bc she had surgery, and lost it again because the surgery just stopped working or something I think? it’s been a minute lol

This show is a mess
You laugh, but Dylan's 'Spencer' accent was very accurate.
I love how Scott's immediate reaction after watching the first episode of ATLA is "I have to watch the rest of this show" it's true. You should
I re-watch ATLA at least once a year. It's honestly one of the most well produced series I've ever seen, probably one of the best in the world. The plot never gets lost, every character is fleshed out and interesting, every character arc makes sense, they make you feel an intense range of emotions, and it comes to a satisfying conclusion. There's literally only 4 or 5 filler episodes in the whole series. Nearly every episode advances the plot, or teaches you something new about the world/characters.
I could binge the whole thing in a day, and still want to watch it again the next day.
Mikes mic would be such an awesome guest for this series if you wanted to do like glee or gossip girl or lost or something he is so cool

And not only that, but when Spencer starts to suspect there's something off with him (which she didn't know it was The Book, but she knew it was Something Big) and gets proof, he still's able to convince the other girls that she's crazy.

AND THEN ARYA MARRIES HIM AT THE END AND THEY'RE ALL HAPPY FOR HER LIKE??????
"I wanted to be the guy who did anything for the story."
That doesn't excuse pedophilia my guy!
The way media portrays inappropriately older creepy men as romantic prospects for girls, literal GIRLS. Not even grown ups is soooo....feels like covert grooming and normalization.
What makes it creepier is that Alison's actress was even *younger* than Alison herself, so picturing Sasha Pieterse "having fun" with the teacher becomes even worse
Mike’s Mic absolutely needs to be on the next one. he has a series where he breaks down the plot of PLL and i have not seen a minute of the show yet i sat through hours of him breaking it down
Scott could watch season 3 premiere and then guess again and Mike tells him about the cece finale 😂 there’s so much throughout the show he could definitely figure out a way to do another video
Glee or Gossip girl, Mike will be perfect
yes need this now
I totally agree!
Or for Glee or Gossip Girl too
Scott: The writers are too smart
PLL: It was the secret twin all along
To be fair to the writers, that twin thing was only the conclusion to the unnecessarily tacked on finale season. It was like 10 episodes I think?
The real finales to the two biggest arcs would be season 2’s and 6’s.
Though, mind you the second arc’s twist isn’t much better than a twin.
@@WrestlingSmarks exactly. It was the best way I could think to summarize the thought process of the writers after season 2
smart enough to write something clear and self-consistent for sleuthy fans to connect the dots, not smart enough to avoid changing everything in a temper tantrum fit to get one over on their loyal fans
LMAO
@@jamesbrooks9321 this. HAHAH
Nice to see Dylan’s schedule is as consistent as always. The only things certain in this life: death, and watching Dylan every week
Happy monday everyone
Taxes, don’t forget about taxes
He said he’ll be back in February but didn’t specify on which channel! 😂
You should definitely do this with Once Upon a Time, trust me it's impossible.
I second this wholeheartedly. If he gets even one thing right in that batcrap crazy series, I will be legitimately impressed.
OMG Yes.
Yess! Literally one of the most memorable shows for me
Fr. I love that show lmao
i was just thinking of rewatching this series since i stopped last time after they added the frozen girls
You should totally do this series with Gossip Girl and have Mike’s Mic be the expert and also Glee and have Trin Lovell be the expert
Omg yess they would be gooood
Yess Mike's Mic would be an awesome expert
or mike’s mic for both lol. he also could have been the pll expert lmao
@@meganmcleod6152 yah he knows everything 😂
YESSSSSSS PLEASE
the fact that your prediction was more sane than the real PLL is hilarious. They barely knew where they were going let alone you being able to, you did good.
bloodbending was so scary and they really put a good emphasis on why it was used, and why it shouldn't be used in the future. they did a really good job of maturely getting it across to kids without talking down to them (Avatar's biggest strength hands down). also terrifying, and the Halloween episode!
omgg!! Yes that episode got me interested in the show (i saw a snippet of) the puppetry was bone chilling
Yeah avatars biggest strength is how well it tells the story in a engaging and mature way that children can understand, but then layer that with things that adults can understand and find deeper meaning in. Really interesting having watched the show as a child to then watch it as an adult and still get the same feeling of the first time watching because so many things feel mature and well fleshed out that you wouldn’t really pick up the full depth as a child
I'm rewatching Avatar with my bf (his first time) and it's insane how well it holds up
Literally every single episode I tell him "this one is peak" and he just says "you say every damn episode is peak"
That ep is still scary to this day
@@rando843 Every episode *is* peak. They never stop topping themselves. (Excluding The Painted Lady, The Great Divide, and The Ember Island Players. I always joke that M.Night.Shamalamadingdong only watched The Ember Island Players episode, and based the entire movie off of it.)
So my wife predicted Zuko’s whole arc as well just like Scott did… I was so astonished but apparently it’s relatively obvious😂
Yeah its pretty obvious lol. Within the first 2 episodes we gets lots of hints to it.
Plus its a pretty typical character arc, bad guy is bad due to circumstances, becomes good guy when realizes hes being bad.
Of course, Zukos arc is the single greatest version of that arc ive ever seen and it deviates from that arc in quite a few ways.
It is. A few of us were able to predict it too even when the episodes were just coming out 18 Years ago (so old).
To be fair, just because it's obvious, doesn't mean it wasn't well done .
I mean it's a known trope in writing, enemies turned friends/mentors. It's only like a 50/50 guess for what Zuko's whole character arc is after the first episode
@@bluz1864 it hasnt truly been 18 years has it. Please say it aint so. 2005 couldnt be 18 whole years ago...
i thought he tried to but the dragons did
ATTENTION ALL: I just started watching Pretty Little Liars because of this video and Emily’s boyfriend did get into an altercation with her where another character saves her. +1 letter grade for Scott.
Yes, it was a pretty awful one too in which he tried to rape her.
Don't worry this video contained almost zero spoilers
I was so frustrated by this! I was like Scott was right, and deserves his point!
@@gabriellepriest5007maybe half point, because he did get violent with Em, but not because he found out she was lesbian, it was because she didn't want to make out with him, so he was almost completely right haha
it's pretty neat to see someone in their 20s discover Avatar for the first time. it was such a defining show for a lot of that generation growing up and i'm glad someone who missed out on that can get the chance to experience it.
edit: Scott: "Zuko's gonna get banished" how could he be so far off yet so on the mark at the same time
He’s in his 40’s dude
@@krusher181 He's turning 27 this year. He doesn't look even close to his 40s bro what
@@krusher181 what are you on
@@tiaan7183 Its true, Monk and I are in our 70s, and we know a 40 year old when we see one. DO NOT BE DECEIVED!
I actually think you deserve major points for the guess about Emily's boyfriend attacking her. There's a scene in season one where Ben (the boyfriend) confronts her about acting differently around him lately (which, unbeknownst to him, is due to Emily questioning her sexuality). He attempts to sexually assault her but Toby (Jenna's stepbrother) saves Emily and kicks Ben's ass. So you were pretty much right on with that one!
I knew something bad happened with him but couldn’t remember what haven’t watched in so long!
@@bushdenae I looked the scene up on UA-cam before typing this comment to make sure I retold it accurately tbh 😆
Thank you!! that's what I was thinking too
i forgot about that entirely.
i thought he just broke up with her and then is never talked about again LMAO
I gave up on PLL about half way through the show and every time I hear about that twin reveal I'm so glad that I did because that ending sounds ROUGH
These are always so fun. If you ever do an episode that includes the Vampire Diaries, DEFINITELY get Jenny Nicholson to be your expert if you can!
YES
Jenny is the best at talking about nonsense. Like maybe the best ever
I would love to see that, her VPD video is top tier
PLEASE DO THIS
YES!
Dylan saying he knows A to Z about Pretty Little Liars was shockingly accurate when you revealed his deal is watching the first and last episodes of shows 😂
More like A and Z lol
Scott predicting that Zuko will get banished from the fire nation without knowing that Zuko is already banished from the fire nation is hilarious to me.
I would love to see you do this with the Vampire Diaries and have Jenny Nicholson as your expert guest (also, as everyone else suggested, Mike’s Mic as the expert for either Glee or Gossip Girl)
1000x yes to mikes mic and Jenny !!!!! 🫶🫶
Mike's Mic would've conducted that call in front of his PLL string wall & it most likely would've traumatized Scott.
I would've loved to see it
YES
YESYESYES TO BOTH
This collab with Dylan was everything I wanted it to be and more.
“who’s Emily” had me dying😂😂😂
Hearing Scott say he thought Zuko was going to kill his uncle made me chuckle I can't lie lmao
The fandom would never forgive him. And given how much grief and guilt Zuko had about betraying Iroh, I can't imagine if he killed him 😢
I would love to see you predict "The Good Place" if you haven't seen it, but I also don't know if it is a good idea because that show is so much better without spoilies!
Yesssssss omg
I watched that show and loved it. I only started it because I heard the twist. Turns out it was only the twist up to the end of the first season. That and the rest were so amazing so I can confirm it won’t ruin the show if he gets it spoiled. Still very enjoyable
I love how excited Dylan got about the twin thing and also the "smelling a bitch from a mile away" 🤣
PLL really seems like one of those shows where they do twists for the sake of doing twists and they figure out if it makes sense AFTER cementing a twist instead of building it up like writers who actually know what they're doing
Seriously. Throwing out entire plot points because some of your millions of viewers guessed they would happen? The whole reason plot twists are enjoyable is because you can go back and realize all the bread crumbs leading up to them. If you have a plot twist with no bread crumbs, you're not a writer, you're a monkey banging on a keyboard. Like, I can write a story and have random shit happen all the time with no build up or hints that it would happen, but that's not enjoyable for a reader at all. People want hints and clues and build up. Well, the PLL writers are literally people who support pedophilic relationships between teachers and students, so what do you expect from them?
I remember watching this show when it came out, so we got a new episode every week and then a couple months break between seasons. It’d be on like season 3 and they’d show a flashback to some random scene in season 1 and I was just like “wtf that was two years ago, why are we bringing that up now??” I was going to rewatch the series consecutively to try and make sense of it all, but then I just watched Mike’s Mic’s recap of it lol
@@kayk480 Game of Thrones did that in the later seasons to justify dumb shit characters would do so you're not completely confused
Friendly Space Ninja also has a really good video on PLL, in case you donʼt know it
rude.
You should have brought Dylan in for a The OC, and you ABSOLUTELY should do one of these with Mike's Mic (he would have been PERFECT for Pretty Little Liars, but perhaps you'll do this again for Gossip Girl? Please!).
Mike's Mic as an expert for Lost would be SICK! And imagine Scott having to guess any of the Lost plot...
The mikes mic pll breakdown is such a masterpiece I fully suggest watching all of the parts even if you have no interest in the show.
"the Uncle is super chill" truer words have never been spoken. the most accurate take!
Dylan’s evil twin impression was actually spot on
Yep
the accent and everything
31:36 “now you need a new predator” 😂😂 Dylan’s just so great! So proud to be a Troublemaker & Struggler ☺️
dylan’s chaotic evil mixed with scott’s chaotic neutral is everything
It's impressive how much M. Night Shyamalan missed that Scott could pick up in one episode.
he even pronounced all the names right
I get flashbacks every time someone mentions that movie 😭 my parents bought the whole family tickets to see it in theaters cuz they knew I loved the show so much. And you can probably guess how I felt about it lmao
@@sas.tronaut5055 I don't get how a director can have literal audio/video source material, and still fk it up so bad. Did he not think fans of the show would notice that he mispronounced literally 70% of the characters names?
I like to say that the only episode he ever watched was The Ember Island Players.
You were really close in the idea that Sokka finds a true fighting style and masters it. But the zuko predictions were SPECTACULAR
Scott and Dylan collab? Something I didn’t know I needed
Jenna was blinded by Allison and the liars setting off a firecracker in her garage when they were all freshmen. The explosion blinds her. At some point in the show, she gets surgery and regains vision in one eye, but then goes blind again.
Your guess at Sokka learning earthbending is interesting!!! It DOES totally make sense for a show like this to have one team member of each bending affinity, and they DO pick up an earthbender later in the series, but it's not him. Good guess given the info that the first episode gave you!
The fact that Scott has different math but had a very similar conclusion for ATLA is amazing. It’s like an alternate universe where someone tried to change the timeline but time tried to remain consistent.
it just means some things are always meant to be!
The segment with Dylan and Scott talking about PLL was hilarious. Just two fools in the dark
I watched the entirety of pll as a child with my mother ( same goes for avatar) and let me tell you that it is probably the most complicated thing in existence. The multiple “A’s”, the girls at some point gets kidnapped and forced to think they have to torture each other, deaths everywhere and multiple spin offs. I can’t even begin to remember all of it even as a person who has watched the entire thing
There was more than one spin-off? I watched Deadwood, and it was so weird.
Scott, you DID NOT SPOIL ATLA FOR YOURSELF! It's literally the best show ever made! AAAAHHHH
i can’t believe it
he better watch it later
Avatar The Last Airbender is better then The Legend of Korra.
@@DuckGoesViral fr, I have high hopes he will since he seemed to like the story
“Best show ever made” Clearly you haven’t seen breaking bad and maybe the wire
I also didn't watch ATLA as a kid because we didn't have cable. I watched it the first time at age 28, and it totally holds up! Definitely high enough quality to enjoy without the childhood nostalgia.
I feel like im missing something but like im 15 and that show was my child hood when i was 5 😭☠️
you were kinda right about the boyfriend, he tries to assault emily in the locker room and she's rescued by Toby who later becomes Spencer's boyfriend
some extra info that might help!
1. so the first A ends up being Mona Vanderwal (Hanna's best friend who alison used to make fun of but became cool with hanna after alison went missing). Mona is a legit psycho but super smart
2. emily and ben actually did get into an altercation. they were in the locker room and he still doesn't know she's gay. he tries to force himself onto her, but Toby, Jenna's "scary" step brother runs in and fights him off of her, and emily and toby become friends
3. the cop from the first episode, detective Wilden, does end up dead. he turns out to be a crooked cop and actually kind of knew alison because he dated one of her friends (not one of the protags), Cece
4. Cece later becomes an A. she turns out to be alison's sister. Cece is actually trans but they don't go super deep into that. Cece used to be Charles and he was an "odd" child, so they sent him to the sanitarium. Cece grows up and lives her life but resents Alison and her friends for the life, family, and friends that she never had
5. for the jenna thing, they do cause jenna to be blind, but later she gets a surgery that she pretends doesnt work, but it does. even later her vision starts to go again but I think it comes back again? idk it was confusing
6. Spencer and Toby get together and are actually a really strong couple for a lot of the show
if anyone has any more questions I am MORE than happy to answer
Was Spencer also like half siblings with Alison and cece or am I remembering that wrong?
@@krissybee123 No your right but also wrong? basically Ally and Spencer are cousins because her mom his Alisons sister But Jason and Spencer are half siblings because they have the same dad and Cece is her half sister because they have the same mom.
@@Danisk852 essentially, Sweet Home Alabama 😂
This isn’t just an exercise in how well you can imagine a show ending. But I think it shows how well written the shows are. The second show changed to avoid fan theories so its hard to predict. Whereas Avatar is very well written and everything is foreshadowed and hinted at really early. That’s why it’s so loved, the writing just makes so much sense
Good plot twists are something you can predict.
@@genericname2747 this is why spoilers don’t always bother me. The visual execution should matter way more than what you read on paper.
how much scott was able to glean about the avatar from the pilot really is a testament to how solid the storytelling and characters are
I refuse to believe Scott didn't have anything spoiled for him with ATLA. I had the whole show spoiled before I even thought about watching it, and it was still the best show.
I am liking your alternate version (if it wasn't with my babies.)
I think he might have heard things and subconsciously remembered them because I feel like Zuko is always brought up in every redemption arc discussion online so I knew vaguely about it when I got around to watching ATLA. And other things were just obvious.
idk i didn’t watch it for the first time until 3-4 years ago and zuko having a redemption arc was spoiled for me because i heard so many people saying it bc was the best redemption arc they’d ever seen but i hadn’t been spoiled for anything else so i guess it just depends what circle of the internet you’re on
I think it depends heavily on the circles you run in. I'd watched the first season as it aired and didn't know anything else about the about the series until I finished it as an adult
Edited to add: and I met the Zuko voice actor before that!
Just depends on what you watch. My entire family have never even heard of Avatar. It's like other anime or cartoon shows, unless you watch them..... you wouldn't know
to be fair he’s not really big into cartoons, it doesn’t surprise me if some stuff slipped thru
I watched ATLA as a young teen, and watched it again at 22, and I still think it’s one of the best TV shows ever made. The world building, characters, animation, music, are all so good and hold up nearly two decades later.
That is literally EXACTLY what I just did a few days ago and I’m thoroughly convinced that it’s the best show ever made and no one can prove me wrong 🤷🏻♀️
100% agree!! I remember when new episodes of ATLA was coming out, it was a whole event on Nickelodeon in Sweden! I was so enthralled, even as a young teen! What a time to be alive!! It's really fantastic. My dad was just as excited as I was as well, which is also a testament to how good it is if both adults and kids can enjoy it!
I've probably seen ATLA over 150 times (including reaction channels), and it's still the greatest animated show in existence.
YES
The cool part about his predictions of atla or just in general is that hes almost never wrong, its just using new material: ex sokka wont teach aang earthbending bc toph exists, but scott has no idea who toph is and he needed someone to fill the earthbender role. Or how zuko goes crazy but in the show its azula whos not introduced for a while
mike's mic would be amazing to see in this show hahahha please bring him over
Oh my god yess
you literally can’t spoil avatar for yourself, it’s not really about the plot but more so about the storytelling. rewatching it for the 4th time already
hard agree
Not about the plot more about the storytelling is the PERFECT way to describe that show. I had Zuko's arc spoiled for me but the actual journey of it was still incredibly emotional to watch
like you can say to someone that Aang learns how to bend all elements but you can't explain the whole journey
@@sams_not_here yeah and it's a fairly easy guess that Zuko ends up teaching him but the ride to get to that point is so wild
Ezra is unfortunately SO not dead that even the spin-off show had a part where Aria and him wanted to adopt a characters baby lmao
wtf?
Doing this with Dylan as the master and _not_ doing The O.C is an actual crime
Dylan and Scott are the best duo I didn’t know I needed
As for PLL, I believe Jenna wasn't full blind at some point, BUT she was blind in the last episode when she could smell that Spencer is not Spencer
I believe that Jenna went to an operation to make her sight better, but it made her completely blind afterwards
Also! You guessed that A is the first letter of a name. A is for Alex
Scott guessing everyone's going to die in Pretty Little Liars is very on brand for Dylan
You narrating what Spencer's sister should have said was hilarious, ty
In all fairness to Scott, Avatar's first two episodes are extremely short and don't give a lot of information. The show's tone takes a complete shift around Episode 7. It also dumps a lot of lore. Scott literally missed out on important info by just a few episodes that would have helped him shape his guesses better (aka Sokka not being born with bending, and bending being tied to genetics).
Mikes mic collab next! he would be such a fun expert for any of the shows he’s done deep dives for
I like how Scott predicted Zuko’s banishment would happen DURING the series
Hearing Scott describe certain aspects of possibly the most iconic redemption arc in all of fiction just. COMPLETELY wrong is the funniest thing possible. The concept of Zuko killing Iroh is absolutely bonkers to me xD
Mike: I'm not going to give you any spoilers since you actually want to watch the show..
Also Mike: BLOODBENDING.
It would be insane to try and watch you do this for The Vampire Diaries
scott watching pretty little liars as a series would be hilarious i think he would lose his mind watching it all
We found an expert on pretty little liars.
Serena skyborne and mike’s mic on standby: am I a joke to you?
You and Dylan were the best parts of this entire video 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. The pretty little liars show was wild but listening to y’all talk about the plot and how it ended out loud just makes it that much more ridiculous and I love it.
damn, way to insult the only other person in the video
not me being like "hey this series is similar to something dylan does where he watches the first and last episode" only to see that he is IN the video! what a lovely little surprise!
Dylan would ACTUALLY be an expert on The OC and would absolutely love to provide all the plot lines to someone.
I thought for sure when you said you were bringing in a Pretty Little Liars expert, it was going to be Mike's Mic lol, so I'm glad you gave him and his PLL videos a shoutout at the end
I still find it crazy that people haven't seen Avatar: The Last Airbender. I hope we get a full video with your thoughts on the show in the future
Avatar the last air bender is seriously one of the best shows ever definitely worth the watch
“Angsty little punk” is the perfect description for Zuko in pre-redemption arc Zuko
I gotta see Scott do this with Community cause he’d NEVER guess where that show goes 😂
I adore Community, but it doesn't have much of an overarching plot. I'd love to see him review the Glee-style Christmas episode. I die laughing every time I see the Annie scene.
As someone who’s never seen PLL watching you guys talk about it was absolutely hilarious as there was no point in time when I could tell if you were joking or actually describing the plot
When Scott said he was going to do PLL as a show, I was going "man I hope the expert is Mike's Mic" because that would be greatly chaotic. I'm also glad to see Dylan though too (since when I saw the first of these videos I thought they were similar to Dylan's series)! I think I'm too into the deep dive analysis/commentary channels, haha.
This is a great demonstration of writers that know how the show ends from the first episode vs writers that have no idea lol
I love the multiple reiterations that Zuko is "low rank" when he is literally the prince of the Fire Nation lol. Ofc, he is in exile at the start of the show and I'm not sure they mention he's the prince in ep. 1 but that made me laugh.
ALSO, did PLL release a new season in like the last, 4 years or so?? Because I had been under the impression I finished the series but CLEARLY NOT 😂
When people were hyped about this, I was still stuck watching PBS shows like Cyberchase. But it’s really cool to go back and see it blind - it really does live up the hype.
Frick yeah. Cyber chase was SO GOOD
Motherboard was kinda hot if I’m being honest
Scott should make a video about Cyberchase
@@THEDeathWizard87 He can’t make a watch the first episode guess the storyline because Cyberchase isn’t over yet.😆
i always avoided cyberchase cuz i never liked math
I would love to see a check in video from Scott about how he feels about Avatar after he finishes the show. It is just that good.
Also, so cool to see Dylan on here. Never thought I would see Scott and him together.
