YES, ignore the hate. While there are problems, they don't make it a bad show by any means. If you love the world that has been created here, it's a no-brainer.
To me, the simple beauty in Aang not killing Ozai was because he won in a way aligned with his culture. The one Sozin committed genocide against and the one which Ozai says doesn't deserve to exist. To me, that's incredibly powerful.
Yeah, but the lion turtle dues ex machina does make it feel a little unearned. Having to sacrifice your belief for the sake of the world can also be incredibly powerful. I get why they did it this way because it was a show directed for children first and foremost. But a story written this same way but having Aang kill Ozai could have been just as powerful if not more so imo.
So many good things. Two things I generally don't see mentioned a lot; 1. "to bend one's spirit, your own spirit must be unbendable"; Aang sticking to his believes of not killing until the end is what enabled him to bend Ozai's spirit 2. Ty lee ran away from home cause she had 6 sisters who looked just like her, went to the circus to stand out and be special, now ends up joining the Kyoshi warriors who all look alike with the face paint and outfits. It shows she finally accepted she's special enough just by being yourself, even if others may seem similar on the outside
The first Episode is called "The Boy in the Iceberg" - as it's long way for him to grow The last Episode is called "The Avatar" - as he fully development and became true master Creators did an excelent work with story and characters 10\10
Last episode: "I'm still worried it's going to feel rushed" Now: "Most satisfying ending ever 10/10 gold star" Also RIP space sword, you will be missed
sokka's leg is busted, his boomerang is gone, his sword is gone, suki is gone, the world is Literally a burning pit beneath him and he *still* doesn't let go of toph's hand. he won't let go, not ever.
The comet does boost the Avatar's firebending too. Also, in the Avatar state it's like all past Avatars are bending along with him using the vast knowledge they have, so of course Aang's firebending is leagues above Ozai's in that mode.
Narratively, I love the parallel between Aang's struggle and the experience of growing up from child to young adult. Until now he's only been more of a passenger in the life set out for him whether by fate or by other people. But he finally took the reigns of his own life and decided who he was going to be moving forward. 🤷♀️
I love the last moments with Aang and Zuko...It's what Roku and Sozin should have been and do, bring peace to that world ! Aang and Zuko brought back the balance both within themselves and the world !!
I wish Ozai said, " I would've gotten away with it if it wasn't for you meddling kids!1". Seriously, I think it's more frightening that Aang took away Ozai's bending rather than killing him. There is little that scares a bender more than losing their ability to bend. To know a guy can just do that would make your sphincter clench if you where a bender. People say that it was kind of a cop out that the lion turtles intervened. I don't think so. It knew Aang might fail to strike a fatal blow. So, a comprised was reached. I always thought that things were set in motion outside of what the Aang gang was doing. Something behind the curtains was occurring. Iroh obviously was getting help, even in prison, from the White Lotus members. It's how the crown came to be in his prison cell. It's how Zuko was receiving clues that set him up to understand his great grandfathers. Even Sokka learning how to use a sword was by a White Lotus member hiding in plain view.
I didn’t expect Aang to kill either. But he basically was knocked into the avatar state by accident, and was given the ability to bend energy instead of earning it through training or character development. Aang had to discover facets of himself and overcome personal blocks to bend earth and fire.
@@MrKingYuji It was a pretty straight forward technique. And, the fact that Aang pulled it off without dying was due to his character and all his previous training. As with the dragons, the lion turtles found Aang worthy, and gave him a vision while maybe giving him the ability to do it. This is, of course, speculation but I think that the lion turtle lured Aang to his "island" so he could evaluate him. No doubt Aang was being monitored as he interacted with past Avatars. Aang concluded he would have to kill Ozai. After that the island swims toward the upcoming battleground. The lion turtle could've swam back, lured Aang off the island and been done nothing else. Perhaps Aang accepting he would have to kill to save others was that final test where Aang was finally ready to let go and become enlightened.
Aang was in full control of the Avatar State, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to snap himself out of it on his own. The show itself took place in around 9 months, one season of the year corresponding to one Book.
Best ending of an TV Show. Just a perfectly written piece of art. I think nobody is wondering that the last episode has a 9.9 rating on IMDB. For me it's a 10/10. Always having goosebumps and tears while seeing this ending.
Thanks for deciding to embark on this Avatar journey. It was so fun getting to experience each episode with you guys. Will definitely be watching your other content as well! Much love ❤
Don’t watch everyone seeing this timeless masterpiece but I’m glad I kept tuning in for your guy’s reaction. Last airbender is beyond a child’s cartoon, personally korro will leave a bitter sweat taste in your mouths & lastly alot of the fandom wanted zuko & katara together
The Search comic continues the story of Zuko's mother, if you wanted to know. The official ATLA youtube channel summarizes the four comics in one video also.
It always amazes me that so many reactors think that Aang, a 12-year-old child is going to kill an adult in a show produced by Nickelodeon studios. That was never even on the table. They were always not going to do that.
I just want to point out, the episode was set up that every character could have died. Suki could have fallen to her death, Toph and Soka could been burned to death, Zulu could have died to the lightning, and Katara could have suffocated in the ice taking dow Azula. That would have put Aang in a position where because of his choice to not kill Ozie, all his friends died instead.
@@JayietheRiverWarrior if Aang had not left with the lion turtle to settle his conflicted emotions, they would have all been together in ambushing the fire nation before the blimps even left.
@@hallofguns8174 Ahhh, gotcha. But wait, then if they were all together by the blimps, how would Zuko have died to the lightning or Katara in the ice? They wouldn’t have been off fighting Azula.
whats interesting here is that aang only could energy bend because he didnt give up his princibles and try and kill the fire lord if he has bent on that or even thaught he might do it then he wouldnt have been able too
i like tlok just as much as atla, and for different reasons! also i wanna say i heard some episodes back that they're already in korra on their patreon so i'm assuming we'll jump right into it after this
While the show itself wraps up fairly nicely, some people view Aang using Energybending on Ozai as a bit of a cop-out since it was only introduced in the finale. Also, the novels The Promise, The Search, The Rift, Smoke and Shadow, North and South and Imbalance take place after the show and are canon. They go into what happens after the war is over, such as the issues surrounding the colonies and Zuko's struggle to properly rule as Fire Lord. There are also other standalone stories, such as Suki, Alone (detailing her time in The Boiling Rock pre-rescue), Toph Beifong's Metalbending Academy, Katara and the Pirate's Silver, Azula and the Spirit Temple, Sisters and the upcoming The Bounty Hunter and the Tea Brewer. Fun fact time: *Part 4 was dedicated to Michael's dad Dante and is also the only episode to use a different track in the credits. *Aang and Zuko's formal admission of their friendship contrasts Sozin and Roku (enemies turned friends, friends turned enemies respectively). *This is the only time in S3 where Aang enters the Avatar State, the third time he does it more than once in an episode & the third time he's speaking in it. *The titles for part 4 and S1E1 reflect & reference Aangs growth & evolution throughout the series (The Boy in the Iceberg and Avatar Aang).
It's actually 3 Avatars including Aang and obviously Aang is the one dominant with Air or Water, if it was every Avatar then there'd be a shxt ton of voices blended.
Not counting the intro the first word spoken in the show: "it's" and the last word spoken: "perfect" it's perfect Also the first episode "The Boy in the Iceberg" and the last episode "Avatar Aang" shows how much his character developed from just a goofy kid who had been freed from an iceberg to one person who could actually save the world from the Fire Nation.
yeah i was about 10 years old when the 4 part finale aired on TV back then and yeah there hasn't been and i dont know if there will ever be anything like it ever again this show was special and great and still is now. Its my favorite show of all time and i think its the best show of all time and im just glad that i was around for it and got to experience it when i did which makes how Nickelodeon treated the creators when they made Korra even more sad.
Aang wasnt ready outside of the Avatar state. but IN the Avatar state, he essentially has ALL the powers of ALL past Avatars. this was the 2nd time Aang WILLINGLY and CONSCIOUSLY went into the Avatar state (the first time in Ba Sing Se, he was "killed" by Azula quickly so it really didnt count) so he was in COMPLETE control of ALL THAT POWER.. Ozai stood ZERO chance at that point.
If you read the comics... there isn't really a golden age, but more like an age of figuring out what to do with the Fire Nation colonies... but Legend of Korra pretty much shows what happens to those in the end.
Awww man, it's a little bittersweet to see it end but I'm glad you guys stuck around for the entire journey (especially since I assume you'd never heard of it before outside of UA-cam and/or social media). Anyway, I'm EXTREMELY excited to see your reactions to TLOK, but before you do that, I suggest that you should check out the official ATLA comics cuz they go in-depth on stuff that was left out of the show, such as what happened to Zuko's mother... also keep in mind that TLOK is a bit more mature than ATLA (mind you, I was 12 when it first aired so some things flew over my head but I still liked it as a whole) and errr don't listen too much to the people bashing on it 😉
Now go watch The Last Airbender 2010 movie. Just kidding, you guys don't have to do that. But then again, you did show interest in that reaction you did to Avatar: The Last Airbender 2024 TV series despite being a blatant cash grab. So maybe you can tolerate some live-action Avatar.
Korra is an abomination of a sequel . They basically ruined the lore and characters to capitalize more on the Avatar brand. It’s like the live action movie
WHAT AN INCREDIBLE JOURNEY! 🙌
Should we react to The Legend of Korra?
Of course!
YES, ignore the hate. While there are problems, they don't make it a bad show by any means. If you love the world that has been created here, it's a no-brainer.
@@AvatarSnake agreed they need to see it
Ja !!!!!!
YES.
To me, the simple beauty in Aang not killing Ozai was because he won in a way aligned with his culture. The one Sozin committed genocide against and the one which Ozai says doesn't deserve to exist. To me, that's incredibly powerful.
Agreed
Through Deus ex machina
Yeah I hate to see people get mad at Aang hurry for standing my his beliefs.
Yeah, but the lion turtle dues ex machina does make it feel a little unearned. Having to sacrifice your belief for the sake of the world can also be incredibly powerful. I get why they did it this way because it was a show directed for children first and foremost. But a story written this same way but having Aang kill Ozai could have been just as powerful if not more so imo.
1:00 A reminder that in this moment Toph couldn't see, her entire world was Sokka's hand in that moment.
So many good things. Two things I generally don't see mentioned a lot;
1. "to bend one's spirit, your own spirit must be unbendable"; Aang sticking to his believes of not killing until the end is what enabled him to bend Ozai's spirit

It shows she finally accepted she's special enough just by being yourself, even if others may seem similar on the outside
Ty Lee is such a great character I love her so much
The first Episode is called "The Boy in the Iceberg" - as it's long way for him to grow
The last Episode is called "The Avatar" - as he fully development and became true master
Creators did an excelent work with story and characters 10\10
Actually it's called "Avatar Aang"
Aang's devotion to his ideals and refusal to kill was his spirit being unbendable and is why he was able to remove Ozai's bending.
Last episode: "I'm still worried it's going to feel rushed"
Now: "Most satisfying ending ever 10/10 gold star"
Also RIP space sword, you will be missed
sokka's leg is busted, his boomerang is gone, his sword is gone, suki is gone, the world is Literally a burning pit beneath him and he *still* doesn't let go of toph's hand. he won't let go, not ever.

It's stated in the extras that the Avatar State (the glow) uses universal energy to fuel the bending. The lives give guidance and wisdom.
Azula: "Divide and conquer"
Azula: *Divides and gets conquered twice*
Narratively, I love the parallel between Aang's struggle and the experience of growing up from child to young adult. Until now he's only been more of a passenger in the life set out for him whether by fate or by other people.

I love the last moments with Aang and Zuko...It's what Roku and Sozin should have been and do, bring peace to that world ! Aang and Zuko brought back the balance both within themselves and the world !!
Worth mentioning that the final act of Bending in the show was the first move Katara taught Aang.
I wish Ozai said, " I would've gotten away with it if it wasn't for you meddling kids!1".
Seriously, I think it's more frightening that Aang took away Ozai's bending rather than killing him. There is little that scares a bender more than losing their ability to bend. To know a guy can just do that would make your sphincter clench if you where a bender.

Fun fact: The first spoken word is "It's" and the last word is "perfect"
A simple way to wrap the entire series, "It's perfect"
amazing ending dudes.
thanks for the journey💛
If you want to learn more about Zuko’s mother and so much more, I recommend reading the Avatar The Last Airbender comic book series. It’s so worth it.
Thanks for deciding to embark on this Avatar journey. It was so fun getting to experience each episode with you guys. Will definitely be watching your other content as well! Much love ❤
All hail Firelord Lee, from the tea shop!
Just imagining Jin coming across a newspaper about him forming the United Republic or something and realizing she kissed the Fire Lord
Which one? There are a few thousand tea shops, and a million Lee's
@@DragonMoth34 Those who recognize him will know which one xD
Don’t watch everyone seeing this timeless masterpiece but I’m glad I kept tuning in for your guy’s reaction. Last airbender is beyond a child’s cartoon, personally korro will leave a bitter sweat taste in your mouths & lastly alot of the fandom wanted zuko & katara together
Normal Aang: "I don't want to kill him."
Avatar State: *"I'm going to remove you from the planet."*
1st word of the series: "It's".
Last word: "Perfect".
The Search comic continues the story of Zuko's mother, if you wanted to know. The official ATLA youtube channel summarizes the four comics in one video also.
First Episode: The Boy in the Iceberg
Last Episode: Avatar Aang
can only blood blend during a FULL MOON idk why everyone forgets that lol
One of the best light shows ever in animation

why exactly are you watching reaction videos lol

I love the way you both look in the thumbnail😆
From start to finish this show was amazing.
are you going to watch korra? a lot of people don't like it as much but personally i like it even better
i like tlok just as much as atla, and for different reasons! also i wanna say i heard some episodes back that they're already in korra on their patreon so i'm assuming we'll jump right into it after this
4:44 For a while, the sequel comics were hinting that Zuko and Suki were becoming a thing.

This show was a masterpiece now onto the next masterpiece in my eyes Korra! I enjoyed your reactions, but the Avtar journey isn't finished.
Awesome reaction of my favorite episode of Avatar The Last Airbender!!!!😊😊😊😊😊
You need to to Avatar Korra please
So they do answer a few questions like Zuko's mom in the comic continuations of the series but assuming Korra will be next
You guys are definitely gonna watch legend of Korra right after this, right?

We’re actually starting a whole dedicated anime reaction channel together which will be starting in the next week or two ☺️
THIS FINALY IS AMAZING LOVE AVATAR SO MUCH
Perfect ending.
maybe a minute of discussion after ending series? surely you got patreon but I thought you might make exception?
I know you can’t do a reaction to them, but I recommend you read the comics as those are really good to.
The very last line of dialogue spoken in the show...is a blind joke.
❤️🔥
PLEASE watch legend of korra!!!
it only took 11 months
Azula 🥺🥺🥺

Kora ruined avatar for me, I didn't even finish the season one of Kora fuck that.
The last air bender should’ve been a stand alone show.
Korra is an abomination of a sequel .
They basically ruined the lore and characters to capitalize more on the Avatar brand.
It’s like the live action movie
