the ending scene when aang opens his eyes at "history has its eyes on you", it's fitting because there are generations of avatars living within aang so generations of historical figures literally had their eyes on zuko
@@xLadyoftheHousex I'm sorry I have to burst the bubble, but Ozai is far worse. Open your eyes, he had hurted you, too. The ones who truly cares about you is your mother. Go find a good doctor in the Fire Nation, who can help dealing with your insanity. Edit: plus, it's Ozai who turned you into a monster Off character: man I love these role play ppl giving us a chance to "talk" To the characters in person lol😂😂😂
When you think about this being Iroh who's telling Zuko all this that history's watching...damn. It's very true and not just because he was from the royal family of the Fire Nation!! His mother committed treason and murder to protect him, Zuko became a master bender by HARD WORK and his difficult life growing up, was in exile for years looking for and trying to catch Aang, eventually frees Appa which triggers a change in him, teams up with his psycho sister, switches to Team Avatar becoming Aang's teacher and friend, learns the real "trait" of firebending from the dragons, takes on and beats his sister with Katara's help, becomes the new Fire Lord, goes through even more craziness post war, and eventually founds the city neutral zone with Aang....phew that's a mouthful.
It really is interesting that we never see the moment where Iroh called off the siege of Ba Sing Sei and all we know is that it was soon after his son died. I like to imagine that after Lu Ten died, Iroh stopped and looked around at all the soldiers in his command. All of a sudden the stopped being just soldiers, but the sons of parents who might never see them again. And for what? The conquest of Ba Sing Sei? Why was that important? Why was that worth throwing away the lives of all these young men, these sons of now shattered families? And that's when he realized in the big picture of things, the war was a 100 year mistake that should have NEVER happened. And that's why he called off the siege. This animatic I think really captures that moment and that feeling. What turned Iroh the feared general and the "Dragon of the West," to Iroh the sage and mentor of the next generation.
Somebody explain why I started wanting to cry when Jet showed up at 'who dies'. I suppose he's at least better than Yue, the only other character who died on screen. That would have made me ugly cry instead of just sniffles.
I cried too! I think it was because, whatever else he did, he was ultimately just a kid in a war torn country who died far-far to young… I agree with you about Yue though
Fucking CHILLS at lives/dies/tells your story. In cross-fandom animatics with this, it's always my favourite part because of the sheer amount of symbolism you can fit into a few lines. Masterfully done, all round.
*I can’t help but hear this song while reading ATLA and LOK comics that deal with the aftermaths or beyond; the protagonists won the bitter day with uncertainty to follow*
Ok, first of all, LOVE IT!! Just great, 100% perfect! But... I can't not imagine Zuko singing this to Aang. I mean, he made all mistakes, all for glory - to win his father's love, but for glory nonetheless -, he obviosly witnessed death, he led his men to doom with the avatar hunting, he changed his mind and made into Team Avatar, he saw horrible things happen to people without having control over "who lives, who dies" and I can see he telling Aang "history has its eyes on you".
Yeah, I can't see Iroh saying that "history has its eyes on you" to Zuko. I could be misremembering, but doesn't he even tell Zuko at one point that Aang is the main character and not him? (not literally like, breaking the fourth wall, but yk). And the Zuko talking to Aang approach is a lot better imo than Roku/any past avatar and Aang, just to sort of, break cliches. Edit: It also kind of reminds me of when Zuko pressed Aang about how he would deal with Ozai
@@nyandoesthings exactly. He recognizing he was not the main piece of the war, that Aang was the one important. Still, he knew everybody would be paying attention on his moves. And the episode where everyone's playing and laughing and he said "you have to decide what you're gonna do when face father" (something like that), that moment lines perfectly with this song.
It also works with Aang talking to Korra, though idk if I could really take Korra that seriously when I remember what many of Korra's solutions to problems ended up being.
@@nyandoesthings personally, i interpreted that line as like a..."those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it" kind of thing. and considering zuko becomes firelord, i think it makes total sense for iroh to say that to him. their past is stained with generations of mistakes, including their own mistakes, that could be beyond easy to fall back into.
If I had a nickle for everytime I saw an A:TLA animatic based on "History Has Its Eyes On You," I'd have... Well, 2 nickles. Which isn't alot, but it's weird it happened twice. For real though, fantastic work.
The really sad thing is that Iroh tried so hard to get Zuko to learn from his past and mistakes instead of wanting Zuko to repeat them all. And he was so happy when Zuko finally realized. The only thing he didn't like was having to watch him suffer through it. But he always knew that Zuko needed to do this for himself. He knew when to step back and let him deal with his own consequences and when to step up and support him
@@krisandemThe throne was meant for Iroh. But Iroh's son died - his presumed heir. Ozai, the younger brother, decided to be the a-hole that he is and open his mouth to their dad saying, "Hey, I've got two kids. Make me your heir." Azulon was like "You're an a-hole so what I'm going to do is have you kill your presumed heir (Zuko) for you to understand how your brother feels." Ursa, Ozai's emotionally estranged wife, learned about this and made a concoction. She gave it to Ozai saying "the choice is yours." It's implied that Ozai killed his dad with Ursa's poison and seized the throne. Iroh was too broken hearted to care about contesting it.
This song works so well with the avatar series, I love the animation and I think the story could also work with the past avatars, but Iroh does have a special place in my heart 🍵
I love this. This is from two of my favorite things. Words cannot express my amazement for this video! You did such a good job and Iroh as George Washington was amazing and they remind me so much of each other! Great Job!
I love the wonderful affect you did with aangs eyes it’s so pretty with the glow brush and the rest of they eyes also looked amazing throughout the video
Iroh was truly a better man, ruler and father than Ozai, Azulan and Sozin combined. He has the strength, wisdom and understanding. Those three are the worse examples of leadership, if anything there’s monkeys that can do their jobs better. And if I had to go on a limb, I’m pretty confident that Ozai has done some purges himself like doctors, artists and people who he considered inferior.
I feel like this could also be Aang talking to Korra. Of course, Aang would be referring to the first time he tried to attack the fire nation, and most ppl got captured.
It fits and it's actually really upsetting But this is very pretty and gives sireal vibes in a weird way I didn't think would come from it so good job!

Huh that's a good point. Clever of the animator, and of you for noticing it
He’s also literal history, he’s like 112 after he got frozen
That’s not what being ironic means
@@thatasian9579 ha yeah
His grandpa is one of them
I have to admit, Uncle is probably the best source of wisdom.
Yep! He’s very wise
I don’t think so Zuzu 🙄 Father is MUCH better.

We all stan for your uncle, Zuko.
He's better than Google

“You know it was really unclear”
Emily said that in her reaction video. So I got the reference
And…. The creators confirmed it he dead.
@@TheDisneyLover58 did you miss the ember island episode?
@@notapeopleperson6761 no but did you miss they had the episode with comments and facts from the cast. Got the joke and reference

Searched for this comment
She has her feet on you
@@lorddarthfire1560 very true and the earth as well
@@lorddarthfire1560 Ouch
Bruhh
love the last scene where aang opens his eyes, it was haunting
ATLA and Hamilton? Omggg
A perfect combination
I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING-
It’s so perfect- my two favorite things combined! My life is now complete
I need more of this.
This makes sense cause through the show they mention Iroh’s “Great failure at Ba Sing Se”. Or it was called something like that.
It really is interesting that we never see the moment where Iroh called off the siege of Ba Sing Sei and all we know is that it was soon after his son died. I like to imagine that after Lu Ten died, Iroh stopped and looked around at all the soldiers in his command.

This animatic I think really captures that moment and that feeling. What turned Iroh the feared general and the "Dragon of the West," to Iroh the sage and mentor of the next generation.
Oh
"Who Lives,Who Dies-"
*Shows Jet*
Me:God Damn It,Dude.
I love that this was Iroh and Zuko because I expected it to be Roku and Aang! I'm happily surprised.
Somebody explain why I started wanting to cry when Jet showed up at 'who dies'. I suppose he's at least better than Yue, the only other character who died on screen. That would have made me ugly cry instead of just sniffles.
SAMEE like I forgot he died and then this-
I cried too! I think it was because, whatever else he did, he was ultimately just a kid in a war torn country who died far-far to young… I agree with you about Yue though
The thing is he never knew Yue, Jet was chasing him.
its should have been ursa

I like the style of animation, suits the song

Shows Jet
*Starts crying*
I love how TOPH is the one who tells your story you have no control over
This is what got me into hamilton. This one video right here!
Me too😮😂❤
I’m late but… avatar and Hamilton. Together. This has to be amazing
Exactly
If lin manuel miranda makes an atla musical I'm watching
Uncle wisdom bending constantly
*I can’t help but hear this song while reading ATLA and LOK comics that deal with the aftermaths or beyond; the protagonists won the bitter day with uncertainty to follow*
There's a good reason why this has no dislikes! This is very well done! :D
this comment aged well haha
I think its because there are no dislike counters anymore. :(
Ok, first of all, LOVE IT!! Just great, 100% perfect!

This is too good. I absolutely love it
Iroh really blames himself for Lu Ten's death and treats Zuko like his own son
Best Uncle Ever😊❤
Why did I think this would be Aang telling this to all Korra? Either way love it!
Awesome!
This is... this is good my god
Wooaahhh I loved the ending bit, seriously gave me chills
I appreciate that whoever drew this took the care to draw Zuko’s hair grow as the song and story go on so you can tell time has gone by
This gave me chills. This song matches the theme and animation so perfectly
Katara lives. Jet dies. Toph tells Zuko’s story.
chills
"Avatar the last Airbender."
(THIS is the part that they DON'T tell you.)
Chills, this is incredible
Literally this is so perfect. The song choice, the colors, the drawing, the emotions!! Nice work!!!!
Incredible!!!
Well great now I have to go rewatch Atla AGAIN 😭
This video got me into Hamilton 2 years ago and not I’m obsessed with it
Coming back to this video made me cry 🥹🥹🥹
So.. when iroh was younger than zuko, he looked older than zukos father?
Iroh is the oldest brother btw, but he gave the throne to his bro cuz his kid died and he didn't wanna be bad anymore
@@louellarichardson3373 Iroh didn’t give up the throne, their father gave the throne to Ozia
@@krisandem not that I remember? Zukos and azulas mom killed the grandpa?

I'm not crying, you're crying.
Omg two fandoms I love combining… avatar and Hamilton! (The song is from Hamilton)
My heart felt like it got ripped out of my chest when Jet came on screen.
I was not prepared to be this emotional
1:27
Animation: epic
Song: emotional af
My last braincell: *Avatar state, yip yip!*
ITS MY TWO FAVORITE THINGS IN THE ENTIRE WORLD OMGOMGOMGOMG THIS IS PERFECT omg
THIS FITS SO WELL WTF??!?
My favorite musical with one of my fave shows!
The fact that Iroh is telling all this to Zuko... absolutely amazing.
Welp, there goes my daily cry
Those look like the eyes of Bill Cypher...
Teo of my favorite things combined. I loved this so much
This song works so well with the avatar series, I love the animation and I think the story could also work with the past avatars, but Iroh does have a special place in my heart 🍵
Aaaahhhh this is perfect for Zuko and Iroh
This really fits Iroh 😅 Like holy cow
Two of my favorites fandoms coming together. I love this.
I love this. This is from two of my favorite things. Words cannot express my amazement for this video! You did such a good job and Iroh as George Washington was amazing and they remind me so much of each other! Great Job!
giving me chills, the first lines match so much with uncle Iroh backstory
Hamilton Musical slaps
I got goosebumps. You absolutely nailed it
I love the wonderful affect you did with aangs eyes it’s so pretty with the glow brush and the rest of they eyes also looked amazing throughout the video
WASHINGTON'S VERSES ARE PERFECT FOR IROH
i gotta say it was emotional and it has this sorta inspirational/hopeful vibe to it. Really cool
and now I am a teary mess. Rest in Peace Uncle Iroh and Mako
This was already a emotional piece but this vid really made me get goosebumps and chills π~π
The more I think about it, the more it is true
Edit: also view numbed 2^5 lets go!
OH MY GAH I FREAKING LOVE THIS AAAAA-
The ending gave me chills
Uncle makes the greatest tea in the entire world
Avatar with a Hamilton song, I didn't know I needed it, but it's the best thing that's ever happened to me
Omg that last scene where Aang opens his eyes!!!! Also amazing animatic!
Iroh was truly a better man, ruler and father than Ozai, Azulan and Sozin combined. He has the strength, wisdom and understanding. Those three are the worse examples of leadership, if anything there’s monkeys that can do their jobs better. And if I had to go on a limb, I’m pretty confident that Ozai has done some purges himself like doctors, artists and people who he considered inferior.
crying, screaming. but most just crying. i love uncle iroh.
HAMIETONNNN
Damn this fit well you had the proper character for it and everything

Oh my goodness this is an absolute masterpiece. Thank you for blessing me with this greatness. 😌🤌🏼
The edit we never knew we always needed
This made me cry-
That was the best thing I have ever seen

I like the combination of things I love more
Chills....Literal Chills....
THIS IS SO UNDERRATED!!!! EVERYTHING IS SO PERFECT!! I LOVE YOUR STYLE SM
Cool cool cool cool I nearly started crying.
this is brilliant
I feel like this could also be Aang talking to Korra. Of course, Aang would be referring to the first time he tried to attack the fire nation, and most ppl got captured.
Bro this is so well done, I got legitimate chills. Great job!
I have never seen Avatar used for a Hamilton animatic. It's awesome! I love it! I would love to see more.
This is amazing keep up the good work
ok am i the only one that burst out laughing when i heard george washingtons voice attached to uncle iroh
I have full body chills. This is amazing
It fits and it's actually really upsetting
But this is very pretty and gives sireal vibes in a weird way I didn't think would come from it so good job!
the last time I watched ATLA was last year, but now I am going to re-watch the whole series just because of this :D
THIS IS PERFECT
