They don't portray it very well but I think Paku's sudden change of heart was because he realised the traditions he was sticking to so hard is what pushed away the love of his life. I think the depiction of his gender biases were meant to be a red herring in regards to his character and he was just meant to be very strongly attached to his tribe's traditions and culture, but imo they played it too strongly. It makes his sudden 180 seem more jarring than it should.
There are very few gripes I have with the show after this point and they're all pretty minor. It's a great season finale coming up but I can't wait for season 2.
I'd disagree. I picked up on that when I first watched this show 10 years ago (at the age of 12). Honestly their confusion over this fits more in line with them just missing the message.
You know, cause they have that quirky way of reacting where they miss lots of important things, like all characters, organizations, and causes being two sided, and arbitrarily suspect characters of being bad.
i will say, lots of people reacting to this ep seem to misunderstand his change of heart in a similar way, so maybe it could’ve been a bit clearer
@@shadycactus6146 Everything can always be "clearer" but the problem then becomes where does the effort to make it clearer take away from realism and the quality of the story telling?
I like this thread because every comment covered a piece of what I feel about this episode lol. I don't recall my first ever reaction to it, but as far back as I can recall, I understood his change as well. At the same time, I also noticed that many more people miss the point than compared to other episodes, and so it's hard to deny that it could have been clearer. But these 2 definitely decided that Pakku was the source of the sexism when the show does tell us it is the culture (i.e. they laugh in disbelief when he claims his culture was disrespected), so they had an added layer of confusion.
I think if they showed any other character reaffirming or elaborating on Pakku's claims about their culture (they seemed to try with the Chief, when he asks Katara to apologize, but it's too indirect) then maybe people would understand it more. Because right now it seems like people think he's playing favouritism with Katara, since there is no way he could otherwise change something so fundamental about "his" beliefs in such a short amount of time. But like OP said, the writers likely wanted to give that impression as a red herring, so you kind of have to sacrifice a little.
What I don't understand is that water is supposed to be the element of change and the people are supposed to adapt quickly. Yet the water tribe desperately clings to their stupid traditions, like shouldn't the water tribe be the most progressive nation? Next to the fire nation maybe? The northern water tribe literally watched as the waterbenders in their sister tribe got taken away and murdered. And instead of taking that opportunity to change and to train as many waterbenders as possible so their kind doesn't go fckung extinct, they still cling to those stupid traditions. Northern watertribe ppl are adaptive, my ass.
General Zhao learned Zuko's secret...he's a cosplayer.
11:22 OK GUYS BUT can you *imagine* like, being 9 or whatever and watching Katara just _DO THAT_ ??? Your life is never the same
Exactly what happened to me
Not in the old days watch chip n dale or donald duck they have guns and everything but new generation there more protective and no violence
@@blizzardytalexz4156 its not about the violence itself. Its about a kid standing up to close minded authority. Plus its like watching your sibling yell at your parents; the drama's too delicious.
As a kid Katara was sometimes my hero and sometimes I really disliked her because she was always so impulsive about literally everything.
Like..whenever she gets a no or any bad response she just yells and for me ( I was raised to not do that similar to Mai,behave,manners,be quiet) she often seemed like she has some anger issues or something and that she shouldn't just throw a fit whenever she doesn't agree with something.
In this particular instance though she was my hero because she was in the right and rightfully stood up to him.
That part where zuko breathes fire the fire is darker shades of red and orange meaning there is low oxygen. He is cold and if unchecked could start to hyperventilate. Iroh talking about breath of fire is very important and will come back later on.
Yes!
That was even the very first lesson we saw Iroh teach him, on the very first episode. (Or the second, at most)
On that scene, he'd taught him two crucial things: to keep the feet well planted on the floor (wich is how he beat Zhao, by breaking his stance) and that firebending comes from breath chanelling the energy through the body... wich is what kept him alive.
That's fucking *brilliant* writing.
When Katara's hair is down she's at her most powerful. When Azula's hair is down she is at her most vulnerable.
13:20 That moment when you realize... when he says, "for the love of my life..." The ice holding Katara melts away. Just like Paku's heart is slowly warming up and remembering his love.
Aaaawwww...
I like how she said tonight and didn’t specify no time or anything
Same lmao
it's gotta be 7pm right?
Why would she? This show is mimicking a certain historical timeline (at most 19th century) and the water tribe is a culture inspired by that of indigenous people, who definitely would not say something like:
"meet me at exactly 19:35 ok?" hundreds of years ago.
When she says "tonight" she means after sunset, plain and simple
But of course it's easier just to make fun and take little jabs instead of trying to really think about it smh
@@diablohorer all I’m saying is meet me there tonight... you can’t say I’m late if I show up hours later and how long you gonna wait?
"Kids who have never seen peace and kids who have never seen war have different values"
Age doesn't matter. Circumstances forms your maturity, your actions and thoughts.
Doffy quote right?
"Zuko better be in that cup" lmao
The real Plot Twist Shyamalan failed to do.
Aang to Paku: if you don't teach Katara, I won't learn too.
What love can do to a guy 😂😂😭😭
Honestly, if Aang didnt have a crush on Katara he'd probably still stand by that. Aang chugs respect women juice on the regular
@@Ghilannugs yeah it's true but still... It's love 😂😂
Nug It's not meant to be disrespectful to women though. Paku is an arrogant ass, but gender roles used to be really important to a country's stability. If Katara was a dude, and wanted to study healing, the healing lady would turn him away. Both genders are subject to these rules.
@@Ghilannugs you say that like a bad thing?
@@pamoweiberezi5315 no I mean it like a good thing, he a good boyo
You guys do realize that Yue was upset because she's a sixteen year old girl being forced into an arranged marriage, right? Like, jeez cut her some slack, I think you should be allowed to be a little bit emotional in such a situation...
@@tripleferret No, they're totally justified. The emotional drama in this episode is so rushed that it'd be unreasonable to NOT find it hilarious. Luckily this episode is an anomaly for the series.
@@tripleferret or maybe it's just funny how dramatic she is lmao
@@BeyondBlue22 Rushed? You can't see everything from everyone's view, and the episode spans some time.
It’s more the fact the guy she is marrying is a shallow jerk
@@BeyondBlue22 Eh it's half half. Yes this episode was a bit overdramatic but they kept assuming stuff before the information was given so it led to a some frustrating "Assumptions make an ass out of you and me" situations while watching. That's the case with every reactor though so I'm not judging, it just seems people in general like to respond before waiting to see, guess that's a human flaw though for millions of years, assuming.
*Sokka : Don't go, Yue! You're the only woman who has taken my mind off of food! [Kisses Yue. Gags.] Wait, did you have pickled fish for dinner?*
*Yue : Goodbye, Sokka! I have important moon duties to take care of! [Exits on the moon prop.] And yes, I did have pickled fish!*
If you didn’t realize, Zuko creates a fire shield during the explosion!
Was it really a shield though? It looked like he held it back instead. 🤷
enoch wiredu if you look closely, right before it hits he surrounds himself in a ball of fire
@@pianistofthemosthigh Well I guess it's a shield then
Leanna S. I didn’t notice until a year or two ago🤣
Barely anyone realizes that on their first watch. Only people that make up fake memories.
So the bigger tribe has an hierarchical society that states that women cannot use water bending for combat and only for "womanly" things like being a healer.
Yeah, this show had some themes.
Will always be a classic show in my eyes
I agree because you wouldn’t see much of this in kids shows back then
But tho real theme throughout the episode was katara realizing that those customs are bullshit. Just her and aang breaking the rules the whole episode, and ending with the realization that kataras grandmother also disagreed with the tribes customs. So the show actually highlights the problem of sexism, but then also has a strong female character that rips that ideology down. This show is actually so deep if you pay attention closely lol
Exactly, and the whole point of this episode was to show that that tradition was stupid.
This show had pretty good themes if you understand them
It was a better teacher of what true feminism is rather than all this man-hating that we see today.
Yes this show tackles sexism and arranged marriages
And shows that every nation has its issues. The Water Tribe, just by oposing the Fire Nation, doesn't mean it's some kind of All-Good utopia (just as the Fire Nation also has innocent and kind people), and that's just amazing for a "kids show".
Wanda Nemer all of the nations have social issues and prejudices except the air nomads. That’s partly why Sozin attacked them, they were seen as weak and non militant
@@wandanemer2630 Nothing wrong with their customs.
It's worse on Men than Women anyways.
@@MrKingYuji They're the only ones who took quite the L, so he wasn't wrong.
This is such a good episode, I think Katara is the first strong female character I've seen in cartoons as a kid, as far as I remember lol
Katara is how Korra should have been.
@@nxrth9463 nah
@@YoureRightIThink yes
@@nxrth9463 Nah. Then we would have the same character twice in the same series even meet each other. That would be dumb. + Katara was pretty shitty at times too. She is super insensitive sometimes ( everytime someone mentions something bad happens to them she just says she lost her mom. she never comforts them,just goes like "ye well IIIIII had something bad happen to me as well ) She doesn't even say "I feel for you." or "sorry to hear that ,I understand because.." nah she just turns the tables to be the bigger victim.
Then there are also her permanent anger issues whenever someone disagrees with her,she just throws a fit and yells until she gets what she wants,otherwise she pouts until someone comes back to her.
Korra is good as she is. She's confident,strong,a little goofy,very helpful,more on the bro side but also has some weaknesses like being impatient,stubborn,hot headed. So she kinda has Kataras badass side but minus all the whining and less girly. I think that's good.
@@jos-josradvanji6203 yeah but katara grew over the show into a badass, korra just stayed little shitbag throughout.
“There’s no crying in baseball!.”- Tom Hanks
Such a good movie:)
😂😂😂
What a lot of American's don't realize is that marriages back in the olden times was about necessity, love came later. The idea is that you needed to keep and pass on the family line. This is especially true of nobility. The children of kings wither male or female were used to broker piece treaties. And yes women got the raw end of the deal, but both sexes were used as bargaining chips. It's not right but it prevented wars. Yue wants love but she feels committed to the duties and traditions of her tribe. Yes it is wrong to force people to marry but for here it is a matter of honor.
You guys made me realize how dramatic this show was😂😂 I cried when I watched this at 11 years old😂😂
I mean most of the show is dramatic in a good way but honestly Yue's just such a drama queen xD
Renée Lucero I meeeeean, she is being forced to marry some random guy
You guys are right that it should be much harder to invade the Water Tribe. They are surrounded by their element, and did not use it to their full advantage. If I had a complaint about the show, it would be its tendency to nerf the other nations just to make the fire nation seem more intimidating.
Apperrantly the siege of the southpole was in the summer making the firenation win, the siege of the nortpole was in the winter, if you look closely you see that the firenation almost lost the battle if it wasnt for shou killing the moon spirit
The Southern tribe was also just a small village when the raids started. When looking at Hama's flashback, you can see that they used to be more than a dozen igloos but were never very strong. They were a small rural town that gradually shrank to the size of a neighborhood while the Northern Tribe was a massive city. The North actually did a decent job protecting themselves for many years (this massive naval invasion was a last-ditch attempt at conquest) until Zhao killed the moon spirit and destroyed waterbending.
The Fire Nation is far more technology and numbers. They were throwing fireballs from a distance before the even approached the city
Dude 7 year old me had a mental breakdown watching the season 1 finale
I had to chuckle a bit at the "Appa can swim?". How quickly we forget that he did not fly till the second episode, only swimming and walking.
14:57 "She just runs everywhere" y'all i'm 😂😂😂
Man zuko was thinking on his feet zhao said hmmm same sword and zuko said antiques just decorative I’d been like..... fuck he caught me
He's a damn quick thinker, and with his famous explosive temper (as far as Zhao knows), he kept his head cool really nicely.
Hahaha I was thing that same thing!
He doesn’t hate women, he (wrongly) thinks everyone should play a fixed role in society,
The cough though🤣🤣🤣
can’t wait for your guys reaction to all the season finales omg the anticipation is killer
so the whole strict culture & gender-segregation thing is still predominant in many tribes in the US, & around the world.
as a Navajo, there are many things that woman can & can't do in my tribe. there is no disrespect or sexism, they are only preserving what generations before them were taught.
keep in mind that a culture in many cases come from ancestors that came centuries before anyone is around.
for example, the Native war bonnets that you see, only men are allowed to wear them. in many tribes, men defend the tribe out in the battlefield. women protect the home, even if it means becoming a warrior. that is why women are told to stay home, so they can defend the home when the men are out at war.
in other tribes, because women bleed, they are considered too pure for war. that is why they are urged to remain at home.
much love. ❤️
Sexism is any judgment based on one’s sex.
Tradition or no, sexism is still sexism. If I say a woman/man is suppose to do this, that is sexism.
@@stevenliang3213
it's one thing to be sexist, but it's another when you respect what your ancestors learned, & what you were taught by your grandparents.
that is what a culture is.
much love. ❤
@@hydro6en317 The ancestors taught sexism, full stop. How old a tradition is does not somehow make it "not discrimination".
@@cormano64 - actually, sexism came with colonism. in fact, the women in almost every tribe saw the restrictions & taboos as something that empowers a woman. & if you research the native cultures in the United States alone, you'll find that in many cultures, the women are in charge of everything & they are the ones who teach everything. in no way did it make anyone feel left out. & out of experience, my culture is more strict than sexist, because every ceremony & eveything in between, is given to us as a choice. no one is forced to do anything. so the whole sexist arguement does not make sense if you are given a choice from the very beginning. i'm talking about my tribe's culture, not a military camp that i grew up in.
@@stevenliang3213 i would like to emphasize the fact that my culture is not sexist. your comment ofdends me because you really don't know what a culture is, much less why people believe in what they believe in. i've been trying to ignore this comment, but i can't. & the one thing i would like to add, is that as a Native American, my culture is not a religion or a "tradition", it is what makes me who i am. my identity. & it is not something i have to do, either. i have a choice, just like any woman has a choice. to me, that is not sexist. that is showing respect for something you have no knowledge of. respectfully, i ma going to unsubsribe. have a nice life. much love. ❤

“She just runs everywhere” 😹
Looking back, the drama does feel a little forced. If this arc was stretched out a little more, so that Yue and Sokka had more development and other things were given more depth like the fish and how the moon and sun correlate to water and fire bending in the next episode then this arc would be better.
Leisure that is a legitimately bad take for the rushing of plot development whenever Avatar has taken its time to develop plot points before and especially later in the story. Regardless, those are assumptions about a fantasy world. And even then life expectancy cant be so criminally low, as you claim, to hypothetically justify any rushed feelings because old people like fire lord Azulon, Iroh, and even gran gran are/were still kicking it far into old age.
@@Bibbers average life expectice being low doesn't mean there no old people, it means most more people died you young than make it to old age, you know because a war that lasted 100 years
It didn't feel forced to me. You're supposed to wonder why it's dramatic, and then you find out and you're like ok that makes more sense. There's some inferences that have to be made...like they're not gonna spell everything out for you. It's just a side plot, they're not gonna focus that much on it. They're not gonna kill off a character that we get super invested in.
11:29 whipped him so hard his pony tail almost went permanently curly and left him
“[Paku] is so rude.” “I will not teach girls anything.” The funny thing is, Paku was not rude, Katara was. She point blank insult him, his beliefs, his culture, and his society. She was quite brazen because it challenged her dreams. But, her goal was to convince Paku the belief in question was wrong. You cannot convince someone to change their mind by insulting them. Once you insult them, they generally stop listening. Even if your argument is correct, even if it is good, you’ve immediately lost, because they are no longer listening. Considering the level of insult, Paku was actually rather civil in response. He was certainly obstinate and stubborn, and when Katara was called out for being rude in public later, we was definitely smug about it.
The fact that he relented so quickly at the end shows that he likely didn’t really believe that women shouldn’t learn fighting forms, just that he was respecting his culture and society. So, Katara’s tact of insulting his culture and society was never going to work. What seemed to work was the reminder about how women’s roles in his society had hurt him as a young man- the conversation started by the necklace. That plus the respect Katara earned from the sparing match showing just how capable she actually was what, I believe. Yeah, it was kind of a quick turn around, but shows do that when they lack time, for better or worse.
Now that a grand master and leader of their society has become publicly accepting, it will likely facilitate change in the future. Society slowly follows its leaders.
Those are my two cents; your opinions may vary.
I’ll say it as many times as it needs to be said.
KATARA. IS. BEST. GIRL.
15:27 "couldn't they just create like a giant thick wall of ice"?
...............you mean the *exact* one protecting the city? the one that's kinda hard to miss with the water tribe symbol on it and it's so huge it hides almost the whole city from the outside?
Yeah I think they already created one
Next two episodes are just.... awesome
OH YEAH SHIT'S GONNA GET REAAAAAL 8D
Abi girl you look so pretty 😊
Some folks like Paku are the reason why the world hold on to something as small as tradition(among other things). Nothing will ever change unless we adapt.

I never realized the drama in this episode lol , seeing it now i can see that this was a little over the top
@The No.1 Guy What? I'm not talking about the forced marriage and her reaction to it, i'm talking about the episode, how the emotions, problems and solutions came in very quick and "explosive".

@@kotryna5682 How everyone was acting? Yes, I do. Thank you.
15:30 ish the wall would be a good idea but uhh considering they're against fire benders they could melt it - I believe just fighting them with water is the best option or mixing the two
Finally!!! We’ve reached the good stuff
What would a wall of ice do against the Fire Nation
A lot 😂😂
Melt, probably.
In the FUCKING NORTH POLE? ON THE FUCKING OCEAN?? It would do a lot actually.

damn i just want yall to get to season 2 so bad lol
avatar doesnt become great until the lake saga in book 2. before that often it was overdramatic and messy on themes. back half of book 2 and beyond is where it became great.
this ep is way weaker than i remember.
I think you two would really like Vinland Saga
You might not agree with it, and I'm certainly not saying it's right, but Aang actually did disrespect the Northern Water Tribe's culture when he started teaching Katara the techniques he learnt from Master Paku. It's like if we were to talk about the Middle East's treatment of women and homosexuals. We can say that it's wrong all we want, but we don't get actually get a voice in the matter. It's their culture, not ours.
Nobody is saying they didn't disrespect aspects of the northern culture. With that said, not all culture is inherently worth respecting.
@@dangshnizzle6929 They scoffed and were making fun of him when he said that. That's what I was referring to with my comment.
Also, I'm not sure we're both referring to the same kind of respect. I think you're talking about being ok with what's going on, whereas I'm talking about following customs. I agree that you don't need to be ok with a culture, but you do need to respect their boundaries and follow their customs if you're in their territory/culture.
If something is wrong it's wrong, if treating people unfairly is part of the culture then your culture is dumb and should be criticized. Who cares if it's disrespectful. Once upon a time in America is was totally cool to hold people as slaves, were the slaves cool with that? No,was it morally right? Hell no, but it was culturally exceptable and legal to do so. If you never "disrespect" stupid aspects of a society nothing will ever really progress.
you don't understand the power of tradition. for the northern tribe of water, the forbiddance
of the water bending for women is a tradition as for any non-civilized tribe in reality to eat people. yes they are wrong, but there is no personal enmity in this and in general they can be nice people
and also men of the northern tribe are simply afraid of losing women in the war. war is not a fun adventure and an unsuccessful platform for defending women's rights
DRAMA!!!
Toss a coin to your Reactor, oh UA-cam of plenty, oh UA-cam of plenty
Yea this is cool and all but have you ever watched episode 19 of demon slayer?
They have
Yes. So what?
omg i know already this episode will trigger our 2 hypocrites
Wdym
@@SistoActivitatemAtm very easy: the sexism in this episode.. with women not being allowed to learn water bending to fight but only to heal..
no matter how much i like both of them most of the time, there are also times they simply annoy me.. e.g. it's not a problem if they drool over some guy like crazy - people could call it objectification - but got beware a show depicts a guy doing the same over a woman.. that's why i think they both are hypocrites sometimes.. but i guess that's what most of society is like with sexism against men being far more acceptable and considered even funny, while sexism against women is the worst.. in reality on the other hand it does not matter who is the victim of sexism, it's always shit.. so if i don't want to be the victim of sexism i should maybe also try to recognize my own sexism and stop it as well.. just like if i don't wannt get slapped or punched in the face i should not walk around punching other people in the face...
but i also have to admit this time they were far less triggered then i did expect....
why doesn't katara just learn healing with more enthusiasm? it healed her hands after all, she can learn all the healing, aang learns all the fighting, then when they leave the north they teach each other all they learned?
katara's a bit spoiled and ungrateful
she not spoiled and ungrateful she succesfully challenged a sexist and unfair rule, it sounds like you just want her to shut up and learn her place
it can sound anyway you like
but if the fire nation is such a problem then what do you prioritize? letting the avatar learn waterbending from the waterbending master, that you will eventually learn from him anyway and there's no real hurry for you to learn in the first place? or try and change the centuries old traditions and establishments of an entire culture in a single night for the shortsighted gain of being allowed to learn waterbending faster?
she should have been grateful to learn about the healing that saved her hands, and bending, and it would have been an invaluable asset to the group, AND aang could learn through her, and her learn combat through him
oh no wait sorry, can i change that reply?
i meant to say im a big sexism
Roifor “letting the avatar learn water bending from a master or changing old tradition” it’s just like aang said when he made a necklace for Katara and Sokka said instead of fighting the fire lord you can go into the jewelry making business, aang: “I don’t see why I can’t do both” aang killed 2 birds with 1 stone by showing his displeasure at his discriminatory rule and in the end was successful at changing it which will positively affect the future of the tribe because they have effectively doubled their soldiers, yes it important for him to master the elements but there’s nothing wrong with improving the lives of people who are in an unequal system (some other times team avatar helped when they could’ve just left and continued their journey are helping the fishing village, helping free haru, his father and other earth venders etc
aang didn't change it, paku happened to be katara's potential grandpa
also those doubled-soldiers are your childbearing citizens, and who heals if everyone's a soldier?
I wish I can downvote this video more than once...
