Aang, as a nomad raised without traditional parents, is just like, " you're not happy here, move on," without really understanding what that would mean to Toph's relationship with her mom and dad.
Fun Fact: The Boulder is a parody of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, and they tried to get The Rock to do the voice, but there was some sort of scheduling conflict, so they got Rock's friend, Mick Foley, another wrestling legend, to do his impression of The Rock, and it turned out amazing! One might even say it was a Rock-solid performance by Mr. Foley..... I'll see myself out now..... 😅
The Boulder is 100% supposed to be based off of The Rock XD Oh and the "Fire Nation" guy was not actually "Fire Nation". He was playing a character for the ring, much like WWE has it's "bad guys", so did this.
Toph's father is likely more worried about reputation than anything else. First he hides his daughter from people because she's blind, a disabled child might harm their reputation. And then when he sees and understands what she does in her secret life he's even more worried about what she could do to the family reputation in an underground fighting ring.
Yes, I've been waiting for this! You guys accidentally picked a great spot to pause the show. After Toph is introduced, the show just keeps getting better.
Let's just say that while Toph is awesome, it depends on what you look for in a character and who you personally vibe with the most. Ton of great characters in the show.
If you take into consideration that Toph's family is ultra rich high society crowd, it's easier to think of reasons why they are so "protective" and not just of their daughter...
Thank you so much for your content! Avatar is an AMAZING show with a crazy world and character building and I think you two are just the right creators to watch it. You two are so emotionally intelligent, get the details and are also so funny! I love your humour and your chemistry. Keep it up and believe me when I say: It just gets better and better.
I'm not really into Wrestling and born in the 90s, but I'm always surprised how many reactors don't pick up on the fact that Fire Nation man is a classic parody on Cold War Era Heels that would pretend to be Russian (or some other kind of foreigner).
@@oq1106 Yeah, most of those guys, along with most the so-called "Middle-Eastern" wrestlers were born and bred in the U.S. or Canada, a few of them had been in North America for many generations. The actual number of "Russian"/"Soviet" and "Middle-Eastern" wrestlers was really tiny, compared to how many just pretended to be from "some country we don't like at the moment". 😄 Nowadays, there a quite a few more wrestlers who are actually Russian or Middle-Eastern, or have bloodlines to those areas, and they're only portrayed as "heels" (bad guys) sometimes, if that's what is needed for story-line purposes.
@@KC_ESQ Yes, but he's also a sandbender. I just double checked and confirmed that I remembered correctly -- it's on the wiki and sourced to the DVD commentary.
It's a nice detail that the villagers dehumanize Aang so much, that one of them literally says " *It's* going to kill us with *it's* awesome Avatar powers!"
The Boulder is supposed to be like a parody of Dwane Johnson and they wanted him to voice him originally but due to scheduling conflicts weren't able to so instead they got Mick Foley who is in the WWE Hall of Fame to do the voice. Also Fire Nation Man isn't actually a fire bender. In WWE they will have "villians" be part of it for the audience to cheer against and get easily beaten, and that's who Fire Nation Man is in this. Also he's heavily based off of one in particular who would sing the Soviet Union National anthem before matches, hence the Russian accent.
This is one of my favorite episodes. They spend the whole time on trial like “Avatar Kyoshi would never do that” then she comes out like “oh yeah I did that ish” WHAT?!??😂😂😂😂
she knew they were being ambushed because even though aang couldn't see them she can clearly "see" them moving around around them getting ready to jump them
4:45 I think that's why they had that one guy openly accept the water tribe money. Aang would assume since the one guy was good with it everyone would be. Also could just be that they didn't want to let him post bail and looked for any excuse not to accept payment.
I'm so looking forward to the next episode. If I remember correctly, it's Zuki Alone, which is just amazing. Uh, and then The Chase. I hope we may get new reactions to ATLA more frequently :)
Toph looks older in Fortnite because she is (or so it is assumed) and also for specific reasons for the game, the main reason is because the characters in Fortnite have something called hit box, it is an area where they can be shot, even without being given directly to the character, therefore when molding a character with specific characteristics in the game they need to adjust some measurements to fit into the hit box, now, the Avatar characters in Fortnite are based on an Avatar comic in what the characters are older, that's why some have some modifications to their outfits
So, originally The Rock was supposed to voice The Bolder, but I think he as a stipulation that he is to win any and all fights he is in. So, Mick Foley voice him and modeled the behavior after his former tag partner.
Off topic but I think I have seen 2 different doggos on your channel so far and was curious how many pups you have? the one at the beginning of this video is adorable =)
24:16 He didn't deserve that, he hasn't done anything YET, He thinks someone cheated which I mean, I would be mad also 😅 31:12 She also just beat them plus like 4 other guys asses by herself, and He sends them after her when she's with the avatar, and damn near a waterbending master, a bison that also fights. Yea real smart dude 😭
Toph is my 2nd fave character. Love her so much; she's a badass. Another fun react & looking forward to more episodes of this. So many good ones coming.
If you guys haven't seen Lisa Frankenstein yet, I promise you, you will love it ! I thought of you guys as soon as I finished it lol. Don't know if you know but it's film writer,Zelda Williams, first big film ( I think it is her first film period, might have to fact check that)! She is the daughter of beloved Robin Williams! The movie is absolutely stunning and It's already criminally underrated in my opinion!
Toph is older in Fortnite, because of the character height. It would be advantageous if you had a character skin that is just smaller than other skins, as that (technically) means a smaller hit box ... and that's just pay 2 win (Fortnite gladly doesn't do that) ... For a similar reason, Morty from RIck&Morty isn't just walking around normally, he is in this Mech-suit to make him taller ^^
I think Toph's father wants to "protect" Toph and keep her locked up as like a status thing. They're the richest people "in the world," so having a blind child in the public might be detrimental to their image and status. At least, that's how I interpret his motivation to keep her hidden
They didn't kidnap Toph - they just assisted her in running away. 🐒Now, I believe that Toph is 12, like Aang, and it seems that by 16 you are viewed as an adult [which kind of fits the "time period" this seems to fit into - 1800s] so maybe at 12 - running away from home is not even seen as an issue for the law - it's just "family business"
Toph’s parents aren’t just protecting her. They are protecting their public image. Having it known that they have a blind daughter would affect their social status. Seen this sort of thing too many times. I’m sure they do love her in their own way, but she is a thing of value/weakness to them first. ATLA touches on a lot of issues like this.
Or they are just scared for her and want their (12 y old, blind) daughter safe thats it. Even thou she showed them what she can do Tbh better have rich parents who cares about their daughter instead of rich parents who let the Nanny do the parenting Why would they care if anybody would notice if she is blind? If so he would not let the avatar inside or would not let Toph sit with them at the table. There are also guards, her earthbending teacher and now the wrestle fighters
@@opromlie2272 Context matters. Nobody else even knows the Beifongs have a daughter. This means they don't want it known. Sure, they are probably concerned for her safety, but it's not just that.

Kyoshi with the "yeah, I killed that mf"
"What're you gonna do about it? I dare you to try."
Aang, as a nomad raised without traditional parents, is just like, " you're not happy here, move on," without really understanding what that would mean to Toph's relationship with her mom and dad.
Now the show will rise in all the best qualities
Except for the previews giving away the plot
Infinitely more blind jokes
Fun Fact: The Boulder is a parody of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, and they tried to get The Rock to do the voice, but there was some sort of scheduling conflict, so they got Rock's friend, Mick Foley, another wrestling legend, to do his impression of The Rock, and it turned out amazing!
One might even say it was a Rock-solid performance by Mr. Foley..... I'll see myself out now..... 😅
Fun Fact: be quiet
@@DeadPiixxelthat's not how it works and also wtf mean for no reason
The Boulder was voiced by WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley, that's why he is so authentic.
I believe originally they wanted to get the Rock, but couldn't for whatever reason? Money or scheduling, as of course The Boulder = The Rock lol
Toph is the best added to the main cast only after a first season TV character ever.
*Toph and Azula
the big dog, the blind bendit, the strongest earth bender alive AND the only caracter with a last name
What about Xin Fu?
@@Thelaretus fu is a last name ?
The amount of blind jokes after this were crazy I absolutely laugh at every single one of them 😂
😂 Whenever I talk about Toph to someone who never sees the show, I always bring up the blind jokes. The writers were brilliant 😁
Avatar has great blind jokes😭😭😭
The Boulder is 100% supposed to be based off of The Rock XD
Oh and the "Fire Nation" guy was not actually "Fire Nation". He was playing a character for the ring, much like WWE has it's "bad guys", so did this.
I hope you guys continue soon-ish. I've always felt that after The Blind Bandit episode Book 2 really kicks off into high gear.
Agreed. Next is Zuko Alone, an amazing episode.
Toph's father is likely more worried about reputation than anything else. First he hides his daughter from people because she's blind, a disabled child might harm their reputation. And then when he sees and understands what she does in her secret life he's even more worried about what she could do to the family reputation in an underground fighting ring.
Yes, I've been waiting for this! You guys accidentally picked a great spot to pause the show. After Toph is introduced, the show just keeps getting better.
11:12 Kiyoshi is 7ft tall, and a lesbian. Her gf is a firebender and also a member of her team.
She is not lesbian she is a bisexual as states in the Korra comic.
She is a bisexual lol
You've finally met the best character in the show
that part
They met Iroh a while ago
The Boulder!
Let's just say that while Toph is awesome, it depends on what you look for in a character and who you personally vibe with the most. Ton of great characters in the show.
The boulder will end this in a landslide.... Aiiiiiieeeee😢 xD
If you take into consideration that Toph's family is ultra rich high society crowd, it's easier to think of reasons why they are so "protective" and not just of their daughter...
I'm partial to "Sherlokka", myself.
The Boulder is voiced by legendary wrestler Mick Foley, aka Mankind and Cactus Jack.
It just makes sense that they have Kyoshi and Toph show up in episodes right next to each other lol
Toph is where the show levels up from great to greater! Toph is 12 in the show like Aang and very short. Absolute favorite character of mine!
She has arrived!!!!!! the best character!!!!!!!!
FINALLY!!!!! I'm so glad you guys are doing more avatar!!!!!

...and now the blind jokes begin.
LOL Aang got a little Peter Pan vibe. "Run away cause you're unhappy young child!"
If there's one thing Aang likes to do, it's run away.
@@fakecubednot in the live action...
@@DoomBowser64 Nobody cares about the live action.

@0:15 what a cute little big strong baby ❤
As much as I like The boys and House of the Dragon The blind bandit is what I've been looking forward to
Yeah, until they watch The Expanse, or Stranger Things comes back, I'm mainly here for Avatar.
The fire nation fighter on the tournament is actually an earth bender. He is just from fire colony in earth kingdom

Not from a fire colony. If I remember correctly, DVD commentary said that he's a sandbender. You can see it in the little bit of bending he does.
No, he’s just an earthbending wrestler “heel”
@@KC_ESQ Yes, but he's also a sandbender. I just double checked and confirmed that I remembered correctly -- it's on the wiki and sourced to the DVD commentary.
It's a nice detail that the villagers dehumanize Aang so much, that one of them literally says " *It's* going to kill us with *it's* awesome Avatar powers!"
It's funny how her father sent 2 guys that's just beaten the shit outta them by toph to retrieve her to home. Lmao.

People were making TONS of blind jokes when toph got added to fortnite
This is one of my favorite episodes. They spend the whole time on trial like “Avatar Kyoshi would never do that” then she comes out like “oh yeah I did that ish” WHAT?!??😂😂😂😂
Toph is the best
In fortnite, toph appears older/taller for modeling and competitive reasons i think
she knew they were being ambushed because even though aang couldn't see them she can clearly "see" them moving around around them getting ready to jump them
I love the deadpan but genuine “that’s hilarious” after the Nonya comment. lol
4:45 I think that's why they had that one guy openly accept the water tribe money. Aang would assume since the one guy was good with it everyone would be. Also could just be that they didn't want to let him post bail and looked for any excuse not to accept payment.
Been waiting for more ATLA content, glad it’s here!
Speaking of the WWE, Mick Foley himself voices "the boulder"
^*Mick Foley
@@quwykxz stupid auto correct
SO excited for you both to be back on avatar :) so many great moments to come
29:19 bruh that look killed me😂😂💀 also they didn’t technically kidnap Toph she ran away 😌
Cody be like "if you don't buy it the discount is bigger."
Not only is the earth bender fighting championship like the WWE , Mick Foley voiced The Boulder. 😂
Not only was Mick Foley voicing the Boulder, he was doing his best impression of The Rock! 😂
(as in he was doing his best to make fun of The Rock)
I'm so looking forward to the next episode. If I remember correctly, it's Zuki Alone, which is just amazing.
Uh, and then The Chase.
I hope we may get new reactions to ATLA more frequently :)
took sometime but we finally back!!!
Bro really said "That's Toph from Fortnite" 🤣
5:42 yeah cody, that's why is Avatar day LOL
The Queen has arrived!
She's a Lord, not a Queen.
Your doggie is so cute ahhhh 😍😍😍😍😭😭
28:30 the Best "that's what she said" 😂😂
Finally! Now things get even better and just keep picking up. Not that the first season is bad - it’s just crazy how great things get as we go
BLIND BANDIT LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!🪨
Been waiting for this reaction. Finally 🤩
Toph looks older in Fortnite because she is (or so it is assumed) and also for specific reasons for the game, the main reason is because the characters in Fortnite have something called hit box, it is an area where they can be shot, even without being given directly to the character, therefore when molding a character with specific characteristics in the game they need to adjust some measurements to fit into the hit box, now, the Avatar characters in Fortnite are based on an Avatar comic in what the characters are older, that's why some have some modifications to their outfits
LOL getting foreshadowed in Fortnite
S2 is the best season. Every episode is SO GOOD it's mind blowing
I know you guys are super busy but you guys gotta power through this series you are going to love it!!!!!
Thanks god.. after all this years.. 😅
Your mouths both literally popped at Zuko leaving Iroh. lol
being kind of spoiled through fortnite is hilarious
OMG ITS THE GIRL FROM FORTNITE ! ! ! !
can’t believe they went back and added her into the show
5:17 and the murderer confesses pretty fast
Dang it Avatar Day. I love you but now we only get one episode with our Blind Bandit!!!
They didn’t kidnap her. She chose to run away.
The remainder of this season is peak avatar imo
Oh today is a good day 😍 More avatar content ❤
Toph is such a baddie, the series just takes on another lever after her introduction believe it or not! I could praise her for hours lol
So, originally The Rock was supposed to voice The Bolder, but I think he as a stipulation that he is to win any and all fights he is in. So, Mick Foley voice him and modeled the behavior after his former tag partner.
I've been waiting for you all to meet toph. She's the BEST
What a cute puppy!!! 🥰
Off topic but I think I have seen 2 different doggos on your channel so far and was curious how many pups you have? the one at the beginning of this video is adorable =)
To be clear the fire nation man was an earth bender acting like in WWE
24:16 He didn't deserve that, he hasn't done anything YET, He thinks someone cheated which I mean, I would be mad also 😅
31:12 She also just beat them plus like 4 other guys asses by herself, and He sends them after her when she's with the avatar, and damn near a waterbending master, a bison that also fights. Yea real smart dude 😭

Yes!!! The blind bandit! Here’s where the show gets better and better!
Yay, more Avatar! Consider this my vote to release Avatar more faster, please. Moavatar. Fast...atar. 😇😜
I’ve been waiting or this!! Also the Boulder is a play on the Rock lol
It's not that shocking Aang suggests Toph running away. Air benders are nomads, it's normal in his culture to leave and travel around the world. 😅
Toph, the pint-sized, female, earth bending version of Matt Murdock!!!!!😅
Toph is older in Fortnite, because of the character height.
It would be advantageous if you had a character skin that is just smaller than other skins, as that (technically) means a smaller hit box ... and that's just pay 2 win (Fortnite gladly doesn't do that) ...

5 months late, but...
Man. There's ATLA pre-Toph, and then ATLA post-Toph.
Toph is my absolute favorite Avatar character.
29:17 W reference right there
FINALLY THE BLIND BANDIT
Kyoshi stood on business
Cool love earth ruble 6 we’re team avatar finds toph the earth bender
LOL the only thing that one lead dude in the 1st episode reminds me of is the assistant guy in Mulan. Unsure if it's the same guy
It IS the same VA for mayor Tong in Avatar Day and Chi Fu in Mulan (and Mr. Ping from Kung Fu Panda) - James Hong.
I think Toph's father wants to "protect" Toph and keep her locked up as like a status thing. They're the richest people "in the world," so having a blind child in the public might be detrimental to their image and status. At least, that's how I interpret his motivation to keep her hidden

Next episode, 7, is one of my favourites 😌
33:20 September? Guess I’ll be watching the finale as a married woman then 🙂↕️
Ready yourselves with the blind jokes
Omg yay finally been missing these
Some parents are controlling like that, it’s always their way and nothing else is allowed
Peak is here 🙏🏽🙌🏽😩
The most bad ass bender in history!!!!… same Cody I have to really talk myself into buying something for myself
