Monk Gyatso's response to Aang needing to come back later, is heart breaking.
Especially because he sacrificed his path to enlightenment to ensure that Aang's burden of guilt be lifted. That's unconditional love right there
@@markbade565Did he? I read it as he delayed his enlightenment, not sacrificed it.
@@dragonrune6800same here, i just assumed he sacrificed those 100 years but since he was gone when Aang came back i figured he finally got there
@dragonrune6800 I read it the same way. He just put it off for awhile so he could give Aang this message. I wonder if he's aware of how much time has passed.
Honestly, I cried right away when I saw how happy he was to finally see him again, but I agree, heartbreaking.
My name is Sokka,ryhmes with Okka. YOUNG LADIES, I'LL ROCK YAA!
😂
That’s one too many syllables there bub.
Zuko's sass in the live action is absolutely incredible, and I'm here for it. 😂
"It's not your fault"😢😢 something aang definitely needed to hear in the cartoon 😞😞😩😢😢
This show leans so much more into realistic trauma, and I'm all for it. (This is likely why this version of Katara is more subdued at first that the animated. Kiawentiio wears Katara's pain beautifully)
This episodes effects for Koh, Hei Bai, & Wan Shi Tong were horrifying and incredible.
you worded it so good!!
@@nishijaja1113 thank you.
@@MommyLong-Legs she's not emotionless though. She's subdued and filled with self-doubt. Trauma does do this, i can attest
@@MommyLong-Legs just because you don't like it, does not make it lazy writing. Trauma doesn't manifest like Batman in real life.
I lost my brother 4 years ago in june and my mother from cancer last year in june. Witnessing all of that did not make me fiery. It did make me detach, more subdued, because processing pain is not a simple thing. As i said, you may not like that it is not the cartoon Katara, but it is realistic.
Wanshitong "Their small minds can't comprehend my speech"
Sokka: "You know in the other version I tricked you bro?"
I really didn't think I would get emotional while watching this live action tbh. But the scene where Gyatso and Aang reunite absolutely BROKE me. It was both wholesome and sad
seeing Katara's mom get killed rright in front of her really broke me, I can't wait to see Katara get her revenge in book 3
I actually love the scene in the bar where everyone is spouting the stories of Team Avatar to Iroh and Zuko, because it lends so well to the Ember Island Players show and the piecemeal story it portrays being collected from random people around the world
I'm so glad you're the type of viewer that isn't toxic. Like it's ok to criticize, heck there's a lot to criticize, but there are moments that are great, there are changes and scenes that are amazing. It's like when you're a kid and your family throws you a party and the cake might not be super fancy, the present might not be that expensive toy, but you're with your family and you know how much they worked for that so you just enjoy it either way. It's not good to be a toxic fan, that explodes at the sheer thought of someone criticizing their "baby", but it's not good to be a toxic hater. And I feel like this series many people are either on one side or the other and we rarely saw someone who watches it with an open mind.
Your party analogy is so good, I never thought of it that way but it’s so true
I’m glad too. I’ve seen glimpses of other’s reviews of the show and they’re acting like it’s unwatchable. The show’s not perfect, but it’s not abysmal or anything
Agreed!
@@deithlanExcept the show isn't a free thing that's just given to you out of your Netflix's generosity. It's a product that you as a consumer pay for. The better analogy is a Specialty restaurant. Your favorite dish is only served in this one restaurant. The dish itself isn't the best. It looks appetizing and looks like the traditional dish that you grew up on and the service is great, but the flavor isn't there, not the right texture, and there's no substance.
Will you keep going to this resto if their every dish is like this? Sure, if you're fine with being served a mediocre product. Personally, I wouldn't. If you blow up like an entitled Karen, that's certainly a reflection on your character. But if you approach the staff and tell them in a civil manner what you don't like... There's a chance of getting actual improvement and a better meal.
@@casualpotato44Great. But if there’s a table in the room having a grand time and saying how much they love the food, there is absolutely no need to go over and explain to them why they shouldn’t like the service or why they’re wrong to be having fun.
Moreover, it’s just being a buzzkill and ruining someone else enjoyment because they feel compelled to share an unsolicited opinion.
That’s what toxic fans do - and, to be fair, those sort of fans exist in every fandom. Unnecessarily negative people raining on others’ parade serve no productive function when they present their subjective experience as an objective evaluation.
There is no accounting for taste.
Let people enjoy things.
At 18:33 (when Katara sees her mom) and I gotta say. It's such a common trope in shows and movies, someone sees a loved one they've lost, and sometimes they're tempted to stay, or etc, and then they do this "I'm gonna stay strong and blah blah" moments. And I never really understood how hard that would be, how emotionally devastating that is, or how tempting it would be to stay in an "illusion" until I lost my brother. If I ever turned around and my brother was standing there, smiling, and asking me what's up. I don't know if I'd have the strength to "wake up". The price I would pay for one solid firm hug is immeasurable. So I just wanna say, whoever is out there reading this, if a loved one did some small thing you're annoyed by forgive them, if you're too busy to go do something with them and it can wait, go see them. When I was young and watching sci fi and time travel shows I'd dream of going back and seeing historical things, going to cool eras. But now all I'd ever go back to is to one day where I said no to doing something together.
I suddenly lost my big brother 4 years ago and cancer took my mom last summer, so i know how you feel. I have these dreams all the time, and I always want them to last a little longer.
😭😭😭
I think the best part of the live adaptation is the way they showed the relationship between Iroh and Zuko. They really showed how in depth it goes and I feel it is more emotional than the original but they also built on it from the original in such a good way that you fall in love with the characters more.
I love how Momo dug up the acorn to eat but then saw Aang needed it more so he gave it to Katara to give to him... Momo is so awesome
Another Gyatso tearbending moment 🥲
And I couldn't help but think of this:
Angela: "BOOMERANG!"
Rufio: "BANGARANG!"
Dante lives in our brains 😂
The amount of creatures in this episode is so epic!! June’s animal is a Shirshu btw. Seeing Hai bei “irl” is so cool. It was always one of my fav spirit creature. I never expected Wan Shi Tong to appear and I hated every second. He gives me the heebs. 😭 Every little thing they add for Zuko and Iroh makes me love the live action more and more 😍😍
Major props to the actress playing young Katara - she's able to be fairly creepy earlier in the episode and then emotionally destroy us not too long after, very well done 👏
Don't remember if they showed it in the cartoon, but the death of Katara's mother hits harder when you realised she's partly to blame for it. If she hadn't tried to waterbend the soldier might have moved on. Hell of a lot to put on a kid.
In the animated series, Katara didnt see her mom die. Her mom sent her away before the soldier killed her.
This live action hits so much harder.
gotta disagree with you guys here because she does feel responsible in the og, shed learned later it was a raid for waterbenders and on top of that because up to that point they had only ever just taken people when she was able to get to her dad after her mom told her to run to save her (partially now adding to the feeling of not being fast enough to have done anything) which leads to hakoda finding the body, it wouldve hit for me if we saw him go in and never saw the burnt remains but just heard a man sob and scream and beg for the love of his life to come back to him and show sokka shielding katara from trying to go in and katara just screaming and crying, you could then cut to a funeral scene to expand on how the watertribe deals with death in their culture and show off what probably wouldve been shown in the cartoon if they couldve but didnt cuz a y7 rating
My take on this was that Katara's mother faked the waterbending intentionally, knowing full well the consequences. I don't think the soldier would have moved on, necessarily. Rather, he would have taken her to his superior officers where they'd realize she wasn't the waterbender they were after. That would then put Katara at risk again. By attempting to waterbend, she was forcing his hand to act in self defense, even if it was a lie. That, to me, is even more tragic.
She wasn’t to blame. They were gonna find Katara anyway but since she’s the mom, she did what she needed to do so that the firebenders “found” the last bender and they moved on thus protecting katara.
Wan Shi Tong is 萬知堂 which mean the building that contains 10000 knowledge (ancient china use 10000 to mention anything of huge, uncountable quantity, so when he say he who know 10000 things, he meant he know all things) consider the meaning of his name, he might as well be the spiritual embodiment of the library
he never left his library because he is the library
having him just randomly chilling in the wood is so weird :(
Excellent casting, particularly Kya and Koh.
Lot of people are criticizing these couple of episodes, but I think it’s perfect for what they’re adapting. They want to have a moment where Aang goes to rescue his friends, gets separated, then captured - for the iconic Blue Spirit scene. However, getting frogs to lick isn’t moving the story forward. Rescue from Koh is a lot more thrilling than they’re sick and get instantly better from licking frogs.
This is also the only space in the story to reveal the Spirit World. Since the characters nor the general audience knows. Wan Shi Tong, the spirit of knowledge, is put there to give exposition on the Spirit World. Also serves to give Aang a great moment with Monk Gyatso to remove Aang’s guilt.
I was waiting for your reaction to Koh and I loved how they showing Azula's firebending turning blue based on her emotions and making her a villain that you feel sorry for
Gyatso is the highlight of this series imo. Yes I love Iroh and Zuko already but I'll always think of this adaptation when I think of Gyatso
Ozi doesn’t care one little teenie bit about Zuko. He’s saying those things to gaslight Azula. he’s playing her and he’s using Zuko to do it period!! However, it’s worth noting that Daniel Kim is just absolutely crushing it in this role!!!
He's 100% setting them up against each other, but he doesn't seem to have it out for zuko like he did in the cartoon. He seems like he genuinely is testing him and Azula, and wants Zuko to prove himself as his son. Still more satisfied with Azula as an heir, but WAY less harsh on Zuko than in the original where he hated him long before banishment. Imo Ozai was great, but a little too cartoonishly evil for live action without adding a lair or 2 to his character
@@chriss8553tbf, he might be trying to groom azula into the exact type of ruthless princess he wants her to be?
I love that they took a page out of Legend of Korra when introducing the spirit world. Just like Korra could met Iroh in the spirit world, Aang gets chance to met Gyatso again. They also establish that the spirit world is an actual world, where all the spirits live and can move around. In 'The Last Airbender' it seemed as if all the spirits were trapped at the locations where Aang saw them. Also, revealing Wang Shi Tong this early hopefully means we're going to see a lot more to him in season 2 and 3!
You are going to kick yourself when you find out who voiced Ko.
I recognized it instantly. But then I've been a fan for a long time and even have an autographed picture of him behind my desk.
"Warp factor 7 Mr. Koh!" 😆
I loved Koh in the original. Aang went to him for help, and he provided it (he helped Aang identify Tui and La, though he more gave clues-like that Aang had already met them-that Aang put together himself). This version presents him as obviously evil or at least predatory, but Koh's morality was more complicated in the original.
The more time I've had to sit with this adaptation, to more I love it. I think they did a great job of remixing and condensing a story that we love into a new form. All the little bits that they pulled from the novels, comics, and Legend of Korra were perfectly placed. For example, I love the small tweaks they've done with Koh in this episode. So glad we will be getting the next two seasons. If they're starting out at this high a quality level, I can't wait to see how they improve their quality game for the rest of the show.
Gyatso in the spirit world was such a great addition. I really really like this adaptation and I know there’s people that absolutely hate it. I think they did such a phenomenal job.
Agreed, especially this episode. I found the changes in this ep. specifically kind of jarring on first watch but I've grown to like it just as much as the others. I think once we see which plot points get used in seasons 2+3 and how they're incorporated, the choices made for season 1 will make even more sense.
@@funnylilgalreactsI agree. I like a lot of the additions and changes. I wish they didn't butcher Koh's character though lol
@gemgem-hl7ii I don't think I understand- how was Koh butchered? The only change I saw was the way he feeds, and it wasn't that big of a change. He steals people's faces after letting them steep in fear and despair, rather than just immediately taking any expression. His menace, threat, eldritch horror- it's all there.
@@roaaoife8186 And that's what made him scary. Imagine having your face stolen just because you accidentally showed an expression. Like, if you let him see your fear, oops, your face is already stolen. Aang showed emotions in the live action but there was no risk of getting his face stolen anyway. It's just less intimidating and less scary. Like, Koh acts scary on purpose so you would show fear and then he can steal your face in the original.
I just realized, the fox made a statement that explains why Bumi was bitter.
Can you explain to me like I am an idiot haha
@dylanmonaghan3342 "It's not a monster. Its hurt. That's what pain does to you. It changes you into something you're not."
This subject was brought up multiple times through the series.
Bumi, was in emotional pain.
The Earth Bender guard with Iroh was in pain.
Iroh experienced pain.
Zuko experienced pain.
And they all dealt with the pain in different ways.
Even Aang felt the pain of loss and he loses control.
Every character has some sort of pain because of the war. Or parent.
You’re the first reactor who commented on Sokka naming the doll!!!
I don’t like how wan shi tong just appears, in the random purple forest and not at his amazing library (Probably my favourite location in avatar)
With as much storyline combining as they are doing in the show (understandable as it may be), they probably are going to be cutting out/combining a lot of the original desert stories on the way to Ba Sing Se, so I doubt we'll see any of the Library, sadly. I suspect the great Owl being here is instead just intended as a bit of an easter egg (that can provide a little exposition for the audience as well).
Showing Wan Shi Tong helping them makes the viewer believe he can be trusted. So when we finally get to the library in season 2 it will seem even more shocking and scary when Wan Shi Tong tries to kill them. The library reveal is important because it establishes a (false) sense of hope that they'll have an advantage. Also, it's what allows Bumi to take back Omashu.
6:55 I love little details like Katara saying she picked up the ice disc technique by watching earthbenders, because it's one of the moves Bumi used against Aang in the previous episode.
I don't love everything about the show, and I do have problems with the writing at times, but moments like this one, as well as everything with Suki, and the Zuko and Iroh stuff in the last and next few episodes, are really well done.
For me personally, the one thing I didn't really like in this episode was how Hadoka was portrayed as not having any belief in Sokka.
Wan shi tong is voiced by the same gent as Master Oogway from Kung Fu Panda (Randall Duk Kim)
I think the writers placing all the known spirits in the NONE Cameron Avatar franchise in the spirit world was a brilliant choice because it makes that world feel more full and alive (so to speak).
June's animal can smell you if you're in the spirit world because it can still smell your body. That's why Aang being on the lion turtle was weird. He could still bend and his body literally wasn't detectable by the animal. So it was a different experience altogether
The awkward grab and fight back between Zuko and Iroh, and then when Sokka said “Is that a frog or a froggie thing?!?” Are two of my favorite moments of this show so far.
Sokka:... I'm getting hungry.
Me: Of course you are Sokka 😂😂
Also I would like to assume that the shrine Aang used to traverse into the Spirit World must've effected Katara and Sokka too, so they were able to cross over as well
He called Wang Shi Tong Birdy !!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 He looked amazing though =D
Katara actress got some grief online. But I think she’s great. Glad the crush story isn’t here. And the kid has a perfect face for tv/film. So interesting to look at.
But she's so bland in this(many of the characters are). Like she's the waterbender and not much more....
@@Deadman7782 I only JUST watched the cartoon to prep for the live action. So it could be that I don’t know her base character from that. Thought it was generally really well cast. Did you have that same feeling about the others? I thought the brother (ugh can’t think of his name) was like he was ripped right out of the cartoon.
@@DylanMadd Sokka is very close. Didn’t like they removed his sexism. Takes away from his and others growth. Aang is great but doesn’t get to "shine" . That’s also because they chose to change him for the blander. The show to me is almost soulless compared to the OG show. Changes certainly needed to happen but not the core of the show. They should have had 12 episodes per season. Then they wouldn’t need to cut corners. I really fear for Toph. They already have changed the lore for badgermoles. 😅
I mean the first time Aang went to the Spirit World (and the only time we saw him do it) it was basically just a swamp. It wasn't until LOK that we saw more colorful areas in the Spirit World.
i like when they add and show the details in between the dialog of what was said but never shown in this adaption! cant wait for the next reaction btw i love the zuko and aang in the bottom left
love the little Iroh on the shelf! love the little Zuko and Aang! Your shirt looks super cozy! love the necklace! the vibe of the room! Way to go Angela! Let's get into it!
If you're wondering who voiced Wan Shi Tong in the Netflix Avatar, that would be Master Oogway's voice actor, Randall Duk Kim, from Kung Fu Panda.
13:55 Okay, the Strongbad reference was the last thing I expected to see in this video, kudos 😂
I love watching your reactions so much! Your ability to watch these episodes and enjoy them for what they are and not constantly nit pick for what they aren't is so refreshing. The addition of Sokka's trauma with his dad being disappointed in his abilities i know is different then the original but when you really think about it makes person sense and was a nice touch. For one gives his character more depth and deeper motivations. Also it gives you even more of a parallel between not only Zuko and Sokka but also Ozai and Hakoda! Two sons desperately seeking approval of there fathers and two Fathers dissapointed with there sons. One father banishes his son the other father abandoned his son and daughter. For a good reason and motivation to protect them i get it but i can't wait to see where the writers go with this. I won't include spoilers here but lets just say seasons 2 and 3 are gonna be filled with a lot more tear bending😭😂
Hector Elizondo was the voice actor for Wan Shi Tong in the cartoon. It was Randall Duk Kim in the LA.
George Takei voiced Koh in this episode. 😮
The spirit owl goes from Joe the guard to a Kung Fu wise Turtle.
Which is named master Oogway
"Kurruk didn't do anything" 🥲
I loved the fox in the spirit world interacting with Sokka and actually guessed correctly who that is just from the way she speaks. But I really appreciated the emotional journey overall in this episode.
30:47 OMG! Hector Elizondo is the voice of Wan Shi Tong?!? I LOVE HIM! Also love your glowing Tetris blocks! 😊❤
Okay, I was NOT expecting the Dangeresque reference. Well played.
this will be touched on later even though its in the comics so i wont spoil it completely, but kuruk wasn’t entirely unfocused on his duties as avatar… he was just entirely too focused on ONE aspect of the avatar.
every avatar has had to deal with the consequences of other avatar’s mistakes. for aang, that was roku’s lack of action in making sure the fire nation didn’t grow a big head. for roku, it was kiyoshi’s uber long life causing instability in the balance of the four nations, which in turn made the fire nation grow into being the most powerful. im not 100% sure but she may have been too focused on her own people and or the earth kingdom? anyway, for kiyoshi, she had to deal with the ramifications of kuruk’s decisions.
every action has an opposite reaction in terms of the avatar world haha. there must always be balance
Wang shi Tong = Master Oogway = The Doctor (John Wick) = keymaker (matrix)
I'm just patiently waiting until you get to episode 6 which is by far my favorite out of the first season. Make sure you have lots of tissues ready for that one!!!
Best reactor on UA-cam. Love your reactions ❤
The name of June’s pet is Nyla as I remember it
While Aang couldn't have made a difference directly, I think if he was there and had been taken to the Avatar shrine there to speak with Yangchen, she could have taken him over and dealt with the firebenders. I'd love to see a production company borrow Koh from the franchise to be in a horror movie sat in our world. I think Koh was more scary in the animated version.
Not familiar with how expensive VFX is, but them cutting out Oppa getting lost/kidnapped, and traveling through the desert, finding a lost archeologist and library, was a decent story cut. Mr. Big Birdie being in the spirit world was a great live action combination.
Another great reaction!
Won Shi Tong, here, in this forest? At this time of year? At this time of day? In this part of the Earth Kingdom? Located entirely within the spirit world?
Funnylilgalreacts Such A Awesome Video Today!!🔥🐐🐐💎
Koh was terrifying in this episode.
I lovelovelove your positivity towards this series! Too many reactors nitpicking that it isn’t 1 for 1 with the animation but I love that you have an open mind and take it for what it is. Can’t wait for next episode! Get the tissue box ready 😅❤
It's not that it is not one-for-one with the animation, but rather that the writing is bad, and the characters have no agency.
@@CliffSedge-nu5fv I agree that the writing is shotty but I really liked it overall. I do feel like it doesn’t have the rewatchability of the original tho
I can't wait until Toph shows up!
Koh is awesome.
I hate him. But he’s definitely dope.
Not just "a fox," but a three-tailed fox.
They didn't need to shove all the spirits into 1 episode but it was fine. Koh and fog of lost souls was an interesting touch.
She's almost to the best episode in the season you guys! Next video! 🎉
It's odd, I personally liked the voice over of Gyatso at the end but I have heard several people complain that it was bad - that you should "show not tell". There are times I would agree that a voice over is a weak way to move a story forward but I have come to realise that there is nothing wrong with it, just with it being over used. Sometimes I find a well done monologue is the best way to express a thought. Yes, showing is good, but hearing the internal thoughts have its place as well.
June's animal is a Sheershu. It took me watching the show twice and watching a few reactions to remember it myself.
You are amazing. Thank you for always being positive and spreading positivity. ❤
Jun’s animal is called a shirashu 😉
The next episode is really good. I think you will enjoy it very much. It’s perhaps the best episode of the series.
(Been watching the other episode reactions, I've watched the show 3 times so far) Ah, can I just hug you? 😊🥲🤗
Thenm mixing some episodes is also a reflection of them not knowing while filming if they would get a 2nd season. Now that they know they will get a 2nd AND 3rd season, i think it will be a lot more in line with he animated series
14:30 Same reaction, it turned blue for a second!
I so love that fox - I'd love to spend time ro talk to her. She seemed easy to talk to and exchange ideas with.
Hector Elonzo is the one I think you're thinking of.
Girl I hope you saved that whole box of tissues for the next ep
one thing that bugs me, we haven't seen Sokka show much of any emotion regarding their mother's death. it's like that in the original too, he would talk about it, but he wouldn't really seem traumatized or sad or angry in the same way Katara was. and I really like how they're showing Azula to be so desperately trying to hide how afraid she is, I think being on Ozai's bad side is probably the worst thing in the world. she was just a kid. she deserved better. I hope in the comics at least we get to see her get some good things and some healing.
I always thought the Owl is a hidden reference to Zelda Ocarina Of Time.
I'm a pretty hard critic of the live action, but I think this was a good intro all things considered. Also wan shi tung looked good.
I really love your necklace. I have been trying to find a pin like that i can put on my work uniform to wear.
Monk Gyatso's words 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
The wisest spirit voiced by the mighty Oogway.
Why do i have the feeling that this Azula is more unstable the animated show?
I really love your reactions Lil, i hope that you can react to the ATLA comics!
I really don't like how they handled Koh. Let me rephrase, because Koh's appearance and VO are perfect, but the actual way they told the story around him. Instead of Ang talking to past Avatars we get book-owl, which exchanges a lot of information and context about Koh for a bit of fan-service. Which in turn, now makes Ang "just somehow resistant" to Koh, instead of knowingly controlling his emotions.
I suspect that Wan Shi Tong's appearance means that the Library is gonna be cut from next season. I think that's why the Cave of Two Lovers also appeared early in this season too. A lot goes on in season two so they're probably making room for the Chase, Toph & Ba Sing Se. We shall see.
I dunno, I can't imagine they'd spend the time and budget on such a good model to never plan to reuse it. I think the reasoning was more along the lines of making sure it got a little screentime in case the series didn't get renewed, which was still unsure until recently.
The library is the most vital episode before Ba sing Se
That was my take as well, particularly given some of the other changes they make towards the end of the season. Regretfully, I’d also be shocked if they end up doing the Tales of Ba Sing Se 😔
I fully expect that it means we'll see even more of Wan Shi Tong, that's why they're introducing him this early, so when he shows up in season 2 we already know who he is and think he can be trusted, so the Library scene will be even better! As for Cave of Two Lovers, I think they put it in here to further evolve Sokka and Katara's relationship, and then their plan is to slowly show Aang and Katara growing closer over the span of both season 2 and 3 instead.
While I can't say you guys are wrong anymore than I can say I'm right, they do need to compress the story. And that's what they did, not just by mashing plots together but by dropping some entirely.
@@wanderingnightfury3546Yea, I'm guessing you noticed the very same thing that I did in the final episode's final scene. Kinda eliminated the need to visit the Library at all, not to mention the changes to Zhao.
Can’t wait for the next episode :)
I love your channel it has the best reactions
Sadly i felt this episodes missed out on what could have been some amazing opportunities within the spirit world despite they had such a short time to compile all the spirit realm stories into 1 episode here. (one that leads into the next episode) but for this episode i really wish they either held off using Wan Shi Tong for season 2 (or at the very least bring him back for the sand temple story arc in the future and dont cut that out of season 2 as i loved that arc, im basically hoping this character continues in the future) there were some cool moments though Gyatso was a great moment there, and i really enjoyed Koh voiced by George Takei was brilliantly done even though he was creepy AF. thanks again for your reaction cant wait for episode 6. (PS the arc with Chops and Zuko is going somewhere that is not in the animation and its BRILLIANT)
I just feel a need to pipe up here. Season one may be, “nobody’s favorite,” but for me at least that’s only because the show kept getting better; it started great and just kept improving. There are episodes like Bumi’s introduction or The Storm that rank among my favorites!

While I think this episode is the weakest of the adaptation, because it feels ALL OVER THE PLACE, and it omitted my favourite bit about Koh - the fact you can't show emotions around him, and humans are among the few creatures who show our emotions on our face so we are clearly his preferred prey, and it would have been such an EASY thing to include - it also did some really cool stuff. June is amazing and I really hope we get more of Arden Cho as this iconic character in the future, she deserves it! Wan Shi Tong looks dope and I do hope that means they used his appearance here as a setup for the library later. And we got more Gyatso which is always lovely, and the fog visions of Katara and Sokka were both heartbreaking. And yes, Koh also still is absolutely terrifying. So yeah, a bit chaotic, this episode, but still some awesome stuff in there.
Looking forward to your episode 6 reaction! 🙌
I do like the further character development we're getting in the show. Maybe your channel should be prettylilgalreacts!
Taken as food for Koh, sucking on frogs ... eh, same thing, right? :)
June rides on Nyla, a shirshu
"We're doin what we're doin."
Hey Angela, KOH'S BEHIND YOU!!!
Only thing that doesn’t make sense to me is wouldn’t aang just go to the last air benders statue and ask for help? He was well connected to his spiritual side
To connect with Yang Chen? Roku knew about what was taken from Koh, he needs to talk to Roku
@@funnylilgalreacts yeah to connect with Yang Chen but back then when the fire nation attacked the air nation she could’ve channeled herself through aang like kioshi did
George Takei voices Koh.
Kinda miffed they cut out one of Koh's faces in this iteration. Seeing he's a primordial spirit it should implies that he is also quite powerful and is capable of tormenting other spirits. Like in the animation show where Koh seemingly carries a face of the Blue Spirit.
Yay I just watch last episode last night . Today after work I’ll be back
I think there's a bit of a difference between "perfectly great" and "fine" 😅
As you may read out of this, I'm not quite as positive on the show as you. I think they've partially done a really good job and partially not so much.
I actually appreciate this attitude more than people just saying “the show sucks“. We don’t have to like it the same but it’s not objectively horrible.
@@funnylilgalreacts Haha, yeah. I'm not a fan of extreme opinions just for the sake of "belonging to a team".
Some of the things they added in this series, that were not existent in the animated show, I enjoy greatly. Others not so much.
Episodes 5 and 6 were actually my favorite of the series, but looking back on it now, I kind of keep seeing problems, the more I think about it.
Regardless of my numerous issues with it, I do think the show has its heart in the right place overall. People who equate this the the Shayamalan movie have drunk a bit too much cactus juice in my humble opinion.
