Yeah! People are mad and say this isn’t zuko. And people don’t realise he’s literally a bratty teenager😭 they forget he was exactly like this in book one. He threw tantrums and was sassy asf
@@MiniDush I'll be honest, I haven't seen anyone complain about Zuko, Zhao, Iroh, or Ozai. The most complaints I've seen were from the main cast revolving around Aang and Katara mostly.
@@kywxkkhonestly I've been enjoying it I jist finished watching all 8 episodes today and it was enjoyable and as for the complaints I think it's just because people are spoiled if something isn't 100/10 it's a failure and that just sucks becuase it just really detracts from good work
We get Zuko before the war council. Dallas did a good job at playing a younger version full of light and joy. I think Lt Jee is a substitute for the was the dude that Zuko almost had an agni kai with in the episode the storm. Remember him and the guy in the boat were about to fight before iron stopped it. We dont get Zuko dipping out after being chained up at the fire temple. And also we dont have Sokka and Katara here. Roku seems like a joyful grandpa here. He seems even more relaxed here. Roku was the first Avatar to overshadow Aang. He actually talks to him in the show way before Kyoshi
I love how zuko is being played he still gives whiny young but also an angry teen trying get his dad's approval. Every scene damn near the best or got me in my feelings
Bruh if zuko took that opportunity to actually hit his dad when he had an opening let’s be real! Knowing the fire nation they would’ve shamed Ozai and probably crowned zuko as fire lord at that moment since he got the upper hand as a kid!
One thing I have to say i’m really glad the live action did that the animated show never touched-Iroh and Ozai’s relationship. They didn’t interact even once in the show, and only had one scene together.
I always find the parallel between Zuko and Aang's origins so interesting. Zuko's starts with a selfless act of trying to protect his people, while Aang's starts with a selfish act of ignoring his struggles and not wanting to embrace his destiny.
"You're soul is mine!" "Shang Tsung vibes." Funny enough, I imagine a Dark Avatar Ozai having the ability to absorb souls as a way to contrast how Avatar Wan got his powers. The first soul he consumes is the lion turtle Aang met up with during the comet's presence. Instead of Ozai fusing with Vaatu, Ozai IS Vaatu. It's Vaatu who manipulates Sozin into waging the great war.
This was the BEST episode of the season hands down. It was done so well, all the acting and writing was on point for me. Zuko and Iroh stood above the rest in this LA but I loved the Aang/Zuko stuff we got this episode as well. The two actors had more chemistry in this one episode than the trio did in the whole series, but honestly after watching cast interviews Dallas (Zuko) and Gordon (Aang) do give off a big brother/little brother vibe so it makes sense. The 41st division twist was genuinely so good. If they keep this same energy for Books 2 and 3, then this adaptation will be solid in my opinion.
This guy plays zhao a lot more subtly not so angry and over the top. I think that they will do away with the jeong jeong episode because a key element of that episode was zhaos anger. We see a lot more of Zukos backstory. He put up a bigger fight here some dodges punches and could even maybe landed a clean hit on his dad where as in the series he just bowed and got burned. I feel like they blended his fight with zhao and his fathers.
The gang not being able to water bend makes sense in this case in the live action cause all the past avatars had to go to the other nations to learn from the masters. Katara was just a kid who could barely water bend in the first place lol. So with that in mind I think it makes sense that he hasn't done any water bending except for the ice ball he got trapped in but that was in the avatar state so doesn't count lol.
Blue spirit baby!!! Roku never interacted with Koh that was only kuruk atleast in the og show. Roku also sound a lot more joyful here. We don’t get the mother of faces until the comics. June comes to the fire sage temple here in the show she found aang and company at the perfume spot. June is flirting a lot more with iroh here. In the show he was flirting with her and it wasn’t reciprocated.
This episode was actually the perfect way to deliver Zuko's backstory in this timeframe. At this point in the Animated Series his past and inner struggles are still somewhat of a mystery but here we really get to see his true nature early on. I actually prefer this to how they did it in the Animation because of how much more emotional and complete it felt. You can really tell that the writers were touched by the Aang Zuko interactions and wanted to show more of it. I even think they did Zhao better. Zuko's crew being the Division he saved was also a good touch and it even emphasised the weight of Zuko's banishment while letting people who haven't seen the animation get a gist of Zuko's tragic backstory and true nature. These writers are so efficient, though I guess they have an amazing dynamic and story to work with in the first place. That line about "sometimes, the mask is who you really are" was so dope. Iroh is the GOAT.
@@claudegrenier3180 nah it was hei bei cause hes the guardian of the forest. He would just send them to the spirt world and make them walk thru the mist forever, but koh would pick them up from there and eat them later or whatever it does.
@@claudegrenier3180no...literally koh was a one & done hei bei was actually important yet they skipped over him an put focus on koh for whatever reason i dont know
Easily the best episode of the season. I love the change of having Zuko actually be forced to fight back because Ozai was attacking him, but due to his natural compassion hesitate to actually injure his father. It fits with the added scene of him being the only one to show real compassion to Iroh and comfort him at the funeral. And shows that deep down he is similar to Aang in that even when he has power over another his natural instinct is to avoid conflict and hurting others. It’s different from the cartoon, but not necessarily worse. Just a new take on the character. The same way we’ve had multiple adaptations of Batman that each have their own unique spin on the character.
You know it takes a-lot of discipline for Zuko to not use fire bending also in the animated adaption if he was non bender i think he would have been a beast as chi blocker and swordsman.
This is arguably the best episode of the season because this is the only one that was written by the original animated show creators before they departed the live action project
its a shame they didnt show roku taking over aang's body.. i think it was far more important than kiyoshi possessing him and no mention of sozin's commet from roku either
"Great Sage, this boy's the Avatar. He is a hope for the world." As if that n#*ga didn't already know how corrupt they were. Doesn't he see them every morning? No way they're gonna be like: "Oh now that *you're* saying it... I mean we already told _him_ we don't care about that but I guess... you changed our minds now... All we need is love💖💖💖 dada dadadaaaa...."
@@greenarrow. No he wasn't. In the original, Zuko didn't wanna fight. Instead he was begging his father not to go through with this, because he didn't wanna fight him.
So did Ozai let him win or did Zuko get the upper hand? Ozai is showing more love and trying to teacher Zuko on how to be stronger while he treats Azula like shit
PLEASE check out “Behind your touch” it’s like a comedy/superpowers/murder mystery, I know you guys will love it. I really hope you guys check this kdrama out I see no one on UA-cam reacting to it which sucks considering how good it is😅
by disrespecting the general you by extension disrespecting the fire lord. Idk maybe Ozai is like you looking weak... I cant look weak by association and I cant look weak myself.
Zuko said he was crippin tonight!
Y'all should watch Kung Fu Panda 4!
Im so glad Dallas is nailing his Zuko character. He actually embodies him really well
Yeah! People are mad and say this isn’t zuko. And people don’t realise he’s literally a bratty teenager😭 they forget he was exactly like this in book one. He threw tantrums and was sassy asf
@@MiniDushpeople nitpick because it’s live action ong I just don’t get why 😭
@@kywxkk yeah . Nah cuz they’re gonna switch up in book 2 and 3 when they see zuko with his hair grown
@@MiniDush I'll be honest, I haven't seen anyone complain about Zuko, Zhao, Iroh, or Ozai. The most complaints I've seen were from the main cast revolving around Aang and Katara mostly.

The 41st division being Zuko's crew is one of my favorite changes this adaptation made! That scene of his crew welcoming him back was great!
“It’s a terrible plan.”
Words that you NEVER use in front of Firelord Ozai.
Lmao yeah 🤣
I LOVED that Zuko's crew is the division Zuko protected in the war room. That was a really nice change was actually an improvement on the cartoon.
How was it a change when it was present in the cartoon, too? Did we watch the same cartoon?
@@avatarmanu8 no it wasn't quit trolling
@@SupportGamin2025It was when Zuko chose to protect his crew over preventing Aang from escaping
@@enju3588 no it wasn't go back and watch the episode, the crew that Zuko saved in the war room was never introduced in the animated show
That addition with the regiment being his crew was so *choice*
Loved that

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nahhh don't disrespect Dr. Han, man
I like that we are seeing Iroh and Ozai share screentime together, something we unfortunately didn't get in the animated series
That’s something I noticed too it was weird that they never had screen time together in the animated series
@@jaydaking2378 I know right? i never noticed this until I saw them interact during Lu Ten's funeral in the live action

That guy in the original show actually was Lt. Jee. Same name, same character
Oh thanks wasn’t sure about the name fope
He’s the best part of this show tbh. Which is sad considering it’s not his show it’s Gordon😂😂.
@@aanyamallick7747 correction … it should be Gordon’s show lol but Dallas is stealing it
@@aanyamallick7747tbh, Zuko is the best developed character in the series imo.
The edit with “ain’t nobody got time for that” lady was craaaaaazy 🤣💀
Fun fact: The spirit aang gives back to Koh is the Mother of Faces from the comic where the team finds Zukos mom.
“The enemy of my enemy is also my enemy” is COLD.
I love how zuko is being played he still gives whiny young but also an angry teen trying get his dad's approval. Every scene damn near the best or got me in my feelings
Bruh if zuko took that opportunity to actually hit his dad when he had an opening let’s be real! Knowing the fire nation they would’ve shamed Ozai and probably crowned zuko as fire lord at that moment since he got the upper hand as a kid!
Zhao really became a menacing character this episode, more so than in the animation. Also the 41st storyline was a fantastic edition
This is honestly the only ep that made me tear up, beautifully directed
Ozai is so cold in this version and it’s so entertaining. I love it.
Dallas is really that dude. There’s a vid of him doing a weapons kata at competition.
The king in the north 😂😂😂
The editor is crazy
Just came to comment that. Bro really thought we wouldn’t notice.
One thing I have to say i’m really glad the live action did that the animated show never touched-Iroh and Ozai’s relationship.
They didn’t interact even once in the show, and only had one scene together.
Iroh Zuko story definitely carries this 2nd half of the show. Sokka is also killing it at his role.
I always find the parallel between Zuko and Aang's origins so interesting. Zuko's starts with a selfless act of trying to protect his people, while Aang's starts with a selfish act of ignoring his struggles and not wanting to embrace his destiny.
It's funny how June straight up teleports to the island after Aang was there for like 10 minutes lol
Right! And how Ang leaves Appa and FLIES the entire way there ON HIS GLIDER!?!?
Roshi saying “that’s not my president” is so funny for some reason
zuko's trigger is the word compassion
roshi "so if your son bein disrespectful you just gonna firepunch him in the eye? lupa "meeh,, it depends on the situation"😂😂😂😂
"You're soul is mine!" "Shang Tsung vibes."
Funny enough, I imagine a Dark Avatar Ozai having the ability to absorb souls as a way to contrast how Avatar Wan got his powers. The first soul he consumes is the lion turtle Aang met up with during the comet's presence. Instead of Ozai fusing with Vaatu, Ozai IS Vaatu. It's Vaatu who manipulates Sozin into waging the great war.
The in depth Fire Nation scenes are cool
Aang: straight up murdering people for 50 episodes.
Also Aang, about fighting Ozai: "I don't want to kill him"
"i-i-Iroh?" LMAO 💀

Roshi's face at Roku LMAO I feel you bro
Me in my Shang tsung voice: You!!! Will be next!!!!! (Skull face transition)
"What do you mean you can't kill the fire lord?!" -the ghosts of those guys Aang killed
Bruh Dallas fighting is so swift and clean I could definitely see him in the power rangers as the green ranger or something
“The king in the north” is crazy 😂
"Whatever Bending..." Introducing, Lead Bending! *pulls out machinegun*
This guy plays zhao a lot more subtly not so angry and over the top. I think that they will do away with the jeong jeong episode because a key element of that episode was zhaos anger. We see a lot more of Zukos backstory. He put up a bigger fight here some dodges punches and could even maybe landed a clean hit on his dad where as in the series he just bowed and got burned.

I really want bro to say Captain Planet again like he did with book 1 in the original 😭💀
Y’all are the only ones on this app that I trust to give a genuine reaction/review. And the most entertaining as well.
The gang not being able to water bend makes sense in this case in the live action cause all the past avatars had to go to the other nations to learn from the masters. Katara was just a kid who could barely water bend in the first place lol. So with that in mind I think it makes sense that he hasn't done any water bending except for the ice ball he got trapped in but that was in the avatar state so doesn't count lol.
I'm going to assume you know already but the Avatar creators wrote episode 1 and 6, which probably explains why you like them so much.
Not the king in the north 🤣💀 the editor on this channel can never be touched
Blue spirit baby!!!
Roku never interacted with Koh that was only kuruk atleast in the og show. Roku also sound a lot more joyful here. We don’t get the mother of faces until the comics. June comes to the fire sage temple here in the show she found aang and company at the perfume spot. June is flirting a lot more with iroh here.

Invincible?.....yeeeeeeaaaaaaahhhhh!?!❤❤❤
whats funny is that they never addressed the spirt hei bai again. So its still there kidnapping ppl and terrorizing them lol.

The live action seems to have more of a serious tone than the anime. Idk why they're laughing so much and finding so many jokes to say while watching.
10:46 - as opposed to what, Lupa? Half a brother popping out of the trunk?

They did Roku dirty and there no master Jeong Jeong which sucks
Hey first here. From ypur brazilian friend and fan
Can we all agree that Lieutenant Jee turned into Lieutenant G after he finally respected Zuko?
Can Lupa do the Captain Planet intro one time
not roshi calling this mfer PeiMei. Im ded
are u guys gonna react to shogun??
I don’t understand why they aren’t mentioning the comet? Like that’s the whole point of Aang’s journeys. Why leave such an important part out?
Fire Lord Ozai is wrong
15:30 insert yeah?
CAPTAIN PLANET!!!! Why doesn't anyone like this joke? I've done it six times now! Ep6
Lupasan and his commentary are 🔥🔥
