If this was an adult show, blood bending would be SO much more violent.
Legend of Korra: Hold my beer.
@@BlackGirlMarvel it was cool and dramatic yeah but in real life or in serious shows we would see the blood and if blood bending was actually real then it would be a literal blood bath
serious adult shows**
@@Jdporte27 I dunno cause they are bending the blood/water within the body which means they are controlling it. So if they wanted blood to come out their nose, skin etc or no blood at all they could pull it out or suppress it but of course "kids" show so you get what you get which from ATLA to LOK the effect got worse (I mean that in a good way). Sorry if this comes off like me being a dick, really not 🙏🏽 this is a great convo lol
@@Jdporte27 It would be similar to the bloodbending of that character in mortal kombat 11
Such a dark episode... We basically just witnessed a loss of innocence.
I also agree with Eric! The technique is not necessarily evil but because it's Katara we're talking about here, we can understand why she cried at the end. The way I saw it, Hama won in the end. She laid out her terms and Katara had no choice but to comply. She sacrificed her own personal integrity in order to save Aang and Sokka. She was basically forced to do it and that in itself must be traumatizing for someone like Katara, hence why I'm sure she'll naturally associate this technique as "evil".
As for Hama, for a one time antagonist, she's a pretty sympathetic character imo. I know she wasn't always this way, but because of war and how the Fire Nation treated her and her fellow tribesmen, she was warped into this person. It's sad really, to see how someone could turn so resentful that they start to do onto others what was done to them.
***** LOL xD
Yeah I agree with both on how Katara really had no choice and was forced to do something she probably would never do, and how Hama is a sympathetic character, but she's still hella creepy lol
Lalisa T I'm just glad well never have to see bloodbending again
What a well composed and thoughtfull comment! Nothing really to add it was just nice to see it.
Shun Kurosaki weeelllll...... We'll see...
Bloodbending is basically taboo, like using the powers of the dark side of the force, using bloodbending means succumbing to the dark side... so yeah, don't expect the good guys to ever treat it like "Oh this is something I can use now"...
Well, Katara is using it another time.
Alneon. In her defense, that other time was a pretty dark point in her storyline, where she [RETRACTED]
Shhh, don't spoilt it e.e
But ofc you're right. It is pretty much the only time she is seriously in rage and I mean who can blame her. She was never really able to have a closure on that part until then.
It's also like the Imperius curse in the HP universe. It's considered an "Unforgivable Curse" because it's an invasion of someone's free will.
You are invited to remove your comment due to spoilers. Thanks
It's not as simple as "Just don't use it for evil." (at least with Katara). You're physically controlling another person, & she was in a position where she had to go against her morals in order to save Aang & Sokka. The way she sees it, bloodbending (for any reason) is nothing but evil
I don't think it was just because she's a bloodbender the reason she was upset, it was also she sent another of her own tribe, another water bender back to fire nation prison where she became so evil in the first place. it was like betraying her own tribe and betraying everything she stood for. friggin awesome episode. one of my favorites.
Miamore Cadenza Well actually, the main reason Katara was upset and crying at the end was because Hama basically won. Katara was forced to bloodbend. Hama laid out the terms and Katara had no choice but to comply. Although she saved Aang and Sokka with this technique, she had to sacrifice her own personal integrity to do so. This episode was basically a loss of innocence for Katara. The really haunting part is the fact that she can never unlearn this as it'll always be a part of her now.
Not only that, but considering what kind of person Katara is, to use this technique goes against everything that she stands for. I would think someone who is very compassionate and has a strong sense of morality would feel tainted after being forced to do something like this :\
now that you say it, i think i would cry too, out of anger, if i didn't want to do this tecnich and end up doing it because i was forced like Katara was..
well yeah that too, like I said it wasn't just because of that. it's all of it.
Miamore Cadenza What I do know of Katara is that once you betray her, it's hard to earn her trust back so I never got the feeling that she felt bad for Hama.
Miamore Cadenza ur wrong
I have a theory that Hama failed to capture that old man because she tried doing so during the Siege of the North.
When Zhao captured and killed the moon spirit she temporarily lost her powers, enabling him to escape. Oh, I bet she must have gone into quite a panic that night when the Moon completely vanished from the sky for a few minutes...
An interesting theory, but Old Man Ding says that he was about to walk into the cave when the sun came up; that's what stopped him from being captured.
Yeah, you're right
"Could you take air out of someone's lungs?"
You've seen nothing yet...
Gods Don't Talk
SPOILERS
Gods Don't Talk hehe... I understood that reverense!
the monk going nuts vvith the kugs?
Jose Rivera STOP
I hate spoilers as much as the crew does, if more, and I have watched what you're referring to, so maybe you could please delete your comment.
This episode- if I recall correctly came out in the month of October, and it creeped the hell out of me when I first watched it.
*shivers* Possibly one of the darkest Avatar TLA episodes ever, and despite how it creeps me out, it's one of my favorites. Hama's character, and the tragic backstory that lead to her insanity made me feel equal parts sorry for her and scared of her, plus the mere concept of blood bending in general is so unsettling and interesting at the same time. Plus the way they talk about blood bending and controlling a person's body, it kinda sounds like your being possessed by a demon. Which again unsettles me even more.
One of the darkest, but not the darkest. There's another one, a later on down the road, that I find much darker.
MetallicaRules I know exactly which one your talking about and I agree, that one is very dark.
MetallicaRules but The Puppetmaster is definitely the most creepy episode.
I understand why you and others think that, considering we get the introduction of blood bending in it. But I believe the episode I'm referring to is darker because of the transformation that the character goes through. I don't want to say anything because I can't do it without spoiling something.
sython135 The Southern Raiders
Imagine how creepy it would feel having your blood pulled in your body to force movement. Makes my skin crawl thinking about it
Their discussions after the episodes are so fantastic! Love this
It shows like this and the legend of Korra and the young justice that make me want to become an animator and writer because they're great shows, for any demographic, to enjoy. The stories are beautifully written and the animation is amazing.
You guys are gonna love Legend of Korra, it has more bending variations/techniques
Oh man this episode is so amazing and could be considered 1 of the best episodes. I love the development it had for Katara and how like other seasons shows that it's not just people from the Fire nation who can be and do evil. The suspense and creepiness was extremely well done in this episode especially towards the end. I loved seeing what happened to the Southern Water tribe in the past and what turned Hama into well… A monster. It just goes to show what hatred can do to someone. Although it's not surprising after what happened to her. It doesn't make it right but it definitely explains it. The best thing about Blood bending is how if you know the basics about the human body you can guess it exists in the universe of Avatar. I really love all the different ways Hama showed Katara how to use Water bending because they are really clever.
Seeing 2 master Water benders fighting is honestly still 1 of the best fights arguably in the entire show. The ending as well as Blood bending itself is super dark and chilling. I think even if you used it only for good Blood bending would always be wrong because of how invasive it is. And like you said it must be horrible for someone like Katara or honestly any decent person really. Hama is the 2nd most horrific thing in the show with the Dai- Li being the 3rd. I'm curious about how you'll react to the most horrific thing in the show. The character development for Katara is great because it shows once again how powerful she is and how strong her morality is. This episode also shows what Katara would be like if she was evil. Great reaction as always and I can't wait to see more of your reactions. :-)
What is the most horrific thing in show for you? I would guess Koh the Face Stealer but that already happened. I don't recall anything super scary/awful from this point on.
Guys, giving them hints counts as a spoiler And the worst part is that most of you guys aren't even subtle about it. Discord is free!!! If you can't say something without hinting towards a possible future event *Don't Comment*!! Stop acting new, you know the crew doesn't want spoilers.
i wish you could report spoilers
I actually think you can...or wouldn't that count?
CherryPrower I'm lost on what you are saying.
I responded to NoobNo3more
CherryPrower Oh sorry.
What’s also crazy is that you can technically stop someone’s heart with blood bending and with lightning if you redirect the current out of a persons nerves you could paralyze them or just quickly kill them or brain dead them depending on where you take from. Water and Fire are dope. Thats probably why the are cyclical opposites.
Bloodbending is considered an evil form of bending (taking aside the medical possibilities it proposes) I think bloodbending higher beings like humans is different from inanimate objects and even plants because of the chi and soul that's inside humans.
I love how when she shows the old comb, the teeth of the comb makes “strings” as if the group is her puppet. The composition is so smart.
this episode scared me so much when I first saw it, but now it's one of my favorites
I think Hama being the "puppet master" didn't really shock most of the people. I mean it began to seem pretty obvious when she was like "mysterious town for mysterious children". I think this episode was just supposed to be mostly creepy not surprising.
"can you take the air out of people's lungs" lol
Hama was a brilliant antagonist for precisely all the reasons that Blind Wave and everyone else here has mentioned.
Since the first time I've seen this episode, I can't help but compare what happened to Katara to a rape.
Another person has basically forced their way into her, forcing her to do something she would never do and ripping away her innocence.
Those are bitter tears, because she realizes now that she has a terrible weapon in her that won't go away. Once a secret is known, it cannot be unknown. Once you have such an ability in yourself, though you may despise it with all your heart, you know that some day you could have to use it again to save yourself or the ones you love.
I love how they are thinking about all the ways you can brutally murder with blood-bending for this KIDS SHOW!!!!!
I do not envy the person who has to edit the season finale reaction.
Yes, i knew you guys would enjoy this! Definitely keep this in mind when continuing to watch, the show will continue to show how it gets better, expanding it's limits, even on the next show, who happens to be my fave villin, ya'll know who i'm talking about.
Anyways, great episode guys, glad you enjoyed it, was definitely one of my favorites growing up, watching this, i always thought this was more of a last resort type of thing, yeh it's kinda wrong to invade the user's body, but if you're brought down to your very limit, and you have nothing else to do, and it's a do something or you're going to die mentality, i think that's when you would use it, only if you really have to, to escape death and survive.
Blood bending is OP. Glad they nerfed it to where you can only use it during a full moon
goddamn contain your spoilers Jason
jesus christ shut up
boodbending doesn't need a moon to bend blood lol legend of korra has made that canon.
@@thomaskinlaw8063 One of the many retcons (for the worse) of that show.
Personally i dont consider LoK "canon", no matter if its officially canon or not. It breaks too much OG lore from ATLA, just like the new Disney movies did for Star Wars. I see both more as an "what if"-alternate timeline.
These Specialized Bending Techniques are so mind-bending...
this discussion made me want them to watch FMAB now
yeah! damnit! After the last mailbag I kinda belief they've already started...
*+Ari33sa* They have already started. :D
what show?
EternalHardDrive Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. :)
Fun Fact: the woman who voiced Hama also voices Daisy Duck and Dot Warner from the Animaniacs
Want to hear something to show again just how in depth this show is?
The motions of Bloodbending is also based an a particular martial art, called Chin Na, which is a style that emphasizes grappling with an opponent, and restricting their movement. Sound familiar?
Oh boy.. the one we've all been waiting for..
I think the thing with bloodbending (besides just the kids show aspect) is that Hama isn't trying to kill people/rip their fluids from them. She's specifically trying to control them. I imagine that aspect of it is what requires the full moon and master abilities. She needs to be fully powered so she *doesn't* rip the people apart.
I hope Calvin is probing the comments so people don't spoil them with their comments as a reaction to their speculation.
I literally still get chills down my spine watching this episode all these years later!
Water benders can do A LOT with different aspects of elements Like the Avatar, understanding all 4 elements is important to understand you self and become stronger from it.
I don't know why but I find it hilarious how you guys are talking about different ways to die from blood bending," You could remove the blood from someones brain. You could take all of the moisture out of there eyes and crumble the fucking eyes. You could grab the urine from their digestive tract and just rip it out of there fucking stomach." You guys find it so fascinating, hahaha.
I never really understood why Kat was so upset at the end of the episode until very recently
Because WE KNOW her. She is a kind, caring, empathetic person, and for her to have the ability to control someone. Not manipulate,c o n t r o l. To have their very humanity taken away from them. And Kat is only 16, and that would psychologically mess with any person's head let alone a 16 year old girl's (who already helps carry the fate of humanity on her shoulders). So it's not a simple "she'll be fine as long as she never uses it again". This episode was so f-ed, but it still gave us a good insight into Kat's character and how she cares for all people (like the painted lady) and to have the ability to control that person..with their BLOOD, while the person is still conscious, and be as morally upright a person as her. She would be emotionally damaged for a long, long time.
Old kids TV shows had NO chill, and I'm looking too deep into this..
in avatar people aren't just muscle and organs they have that hole spiritual things, thats why with the flowers and trees are easier to bend their internal water
theres an insect in the dessert that drinks condensation off its body when the sun is down, she could probably collect dew in a similar way. I like that not everybody can do everything, like you mentioned with combustion man
I think that if the creators had a bit more lee-way, they would've made it that Katara accidently killed Hama with bloodbending.
Like, because she wouldn't know exactly how to control it, she'd accidently give Hama a heart attack or something. And with her dying breath... Hama would say those last lines and chuckle. Leaving Katara more suitably terrified at herself and a the sobbing mess we saw at the end. It also would've set up her more murderous side for the Southern Raiders episode.
The single most episode I've been waiting for you guys to watch xD
The old man survived maybe during that time when the moon spirit killed by Zao for a moment. So Hama lost her ability to bloodbending.
Definite one of my favourite episodes, that expands the lore of this world almost :)
I love the way they drew this just unnatural looking with these disgusting sounds making it feel/look like torture
We all waited for this since you first talked about bending the water in bodies
Trivia: This episode was actually released around Halloween at the time.
God, I'm happy Eric's no Waterbender. He'd be such a savage. sucking out the moisture of the eyes or the brain :o
(Oh and if you like mumification, maybe you should try one piece anyway XD There's a character who can do that)
14:25 and up.
The death-bending arts. Utilizing the bending arts to quickly and efficiently kill your opponent(s).
I have been waiting for this episode for months. Wait till they get to Legend of Korra.
OHHH SHIT.
I forget this episode was next!! Katara-centric episodes for the win!
What's best is that we have one more Katara centric episode left, and not only is it the best Katara centric episode, I believe it to be the best Avatar episode.
I always figured, they could take water out of people like they did with the trees, but because it's a nickelodeon cartoon it's a bit to extreme to show.
Yeah, this was a single episode. The Halloween episode with scares.
I waited on the Book 3 episodes until this specific one, now I'm gonna wait until Book 3 reactions are over to watch the rest because this episode in particular just sparks so much discussion about this subset of waterbending and the ethics of it. I wonder if any other elements have a "dark arts" bending just like bloodbending is to the water element.
4:35
LOL, Calvin's face.
YYYYEEESSSSS!!!! So excited to see you guys react to this particular episode
Hama takes years to perfect this technique; Katara beats her at her own game in 2 minutes. Badass.
Trees are way tougher than human bodies, so i'd say they could pull the water right of them! since they could strip all teh moisture from within a tree, makes sense to me!
In this episode we start to realize that water is the serial killers bending.
Feel like this is one of the only episode where the whole family friendly thing is holding the episode back.
Zeany .T Maybe a little, but if you think about the visual of seeing an adult reach inside the body of a young girl and force the girl to act against her will to the point where there are tears streaming down the girl`s face as she begs for it to stop; that is the definition of rape. Granted there was nothing sexual or graphic about the way it was presented, but the show`s creators pulled off rape in a child friendly manner. That is impressive and clearly communicates the message they wanted to convey.
Ryan Akers what the fuck
Ryan Akers that is not in any way what they wanted to convey
Ryan Akers This episode has nothing to do with and if you truly believe that it does then you need medical help
Julio Angel F R right
For this episode I did my waiting twelve years of it in Azkaban.
No Earthbenders cannot mess with the carbon or iron in someone's body. It needs to be close enough to Earth for them to be able to manipulate it
Yup have been waiting for this episode ever sense they started speculating about it. Can't wait to see what they think about how things continue. Even into Korra's episodes.
Hama and Ghazan have the most amazing alternative bending, I still can't decide between earth or water because of them hahahaha. In the last airbender lightning is very good looking, metalbending is badass but bloodbending thats a whole other level its so powerful that feels wrong and the sound the blood makes while its been bending OMG, creepy.
One of my favorite episodes.
You just described how a evil airbender in Avatar : Legend of Korra killed the earth king. Suking the air out of someone lungs! It was brutal! Best antagonist in the entire avatar series. You must watch it after.
would be interesting if powerful earth benders could do bone bending as well, since bone is mostly minerals
Definitely one of my favorite episodes of the series. Just the overall tone of the whole episode was great
YOU GUYS NEED TO WATCH LEGEND OF KORRA AFTER THIS especially season 3 which was my favorite just above season 1
A Solar Eclipse would coincide with a New Moon (the Moon being at its peak during the day but setting at night, for the area effected by the eclipse).
"Couldn't you take the air out of someone's lungs?"... Sounds like Z...
Did you know that "Blood bending" was supposed to be called "stop hitting yourself" technique but the technique was just too dark to be called that ?
i have been thinking this for some times now... as a fire bender you basically able to control heat that is removing heat or transfer heat from one object to another therefore as fire bender you technically able tp boil or freeze water... therefore, it does not make sense for a water bender to be able to freeze water since you only able to bend water and not remove heat...
Warning THERE ARE SPOILERS A HEAD. Don't go down the comment section if you're new to the show. People are assholes and they can't help it.
Next episode will be fun as hell
Eric: "They're like bugles" lmao!!!!
Blood bending looks like it's painful. Like if your blood is being pulled around in your body forcefully? Yikes...
Blood Bending to me is like Blood Magic from Dragon Age Series, one of the things you can do to a person is by forcing them to kill for you without resistance from them, and I did that all the time in DA:O xD
#1 darkest episode of Avatar
You could probably take the blood from someone's body, but remember that The Last Airbender's audience is primarily children so I don't think we are going to that anytime soon
"Can you take the air out of someone's lungs?"....lol
I feel like I am the only person who is not really enthusiastic about this episode - tho it is thrilling - but I was like far more excited for Zuko Alone or Lake Laogai or The Fire Lord and The Avatar or the next episodes to come. Basically every Episode where Zuko is in it bc I am such a Zuko Fangirl :D
I think breaking out all fluids from a human body, brutally killing them would be too dark for a kids show^^
Am I the only one who cracked up when Eric was talking about using blood bending to bend the urine out of someone?
:
But yeah, this is a terrifying episode. And it's interesting to see a parallel of Hama in Katara. Both were the last water benders of the southern tribe and both have a form of hatred towards the fire nation. But it's incredible to see Katara resist such a horrifying form of bending, even though it can turn her into one of the most deadly waterbenders of all time
I'm just about to watch and I'm not even ready
I do not know why, when I listening to katara's story, I got goosebumps
Like you know it's so terrifying.
The question isn't whether you can take the air out of someone's lungs, or whether you can block someone's arteries with the iron in their blood. The question is whether you can manipulate the electric shocks that run through people's brains and control their thoughts :D
this ep haunted me throughout the weekend as a kid I couldn't sleep the first time I watched it and I watched it again over the weekend like a fool and got more terrified I mean how could I not its Avatar
I can't imagine she'd be imprisoned for long.
Someone should put FMAB in the list of shows you gotta see
YES!!! finally! my favorite episode can't watch to see your reactions to it
I was so excited for this OMG!!!
The removing air from a person lungs happens in korra.
Water is probably the most overpowered element in this show.
4:33 Calvin just freaking out from that comment
OH MEN i was waiting so much for this episode!!!!!
I've been waiting for this episode since I subscribed.
This episode used to creep me out as a kid. Wonder if Toph can bone bend, or Aang can breath bend??
Interesting note, Hama means demon in Japanese
I'm still mad about how they don't get why Katara was crying about the bloodbending
You guys are seeing the bending in the wrong way, it is not easy to control a element that it is not pure, like in the metal bending, toph can only control the earth minerals inside of it, and yes the human body is 70% wather but is part of an organsm that chemically changes all the time, with blood bending she concentrates her strenght in the water present on the blood, plus not everybody in that period of time knew much about human anatomy like today.
FINALLY! My fav episode!
