But shouldnt that come in later? Like I feel like he is already nice.I hated Zuko in book one and half of book 2 .here I sit and go Aww.there is no plottwist.
@@Cloudetower Nope, The Zuko and Aang backstories came during Book 1 in the episode titled "Storm", where Zuko's crew finds out how kind he actually is and earns their respect. In book 2 Zuko was without any crew because Zhao had taken over his crew and Fire lord had declared Zuko a fugitive after the events of book 1 finale.
I just finished ep 6, that was a very intense episode and Daniel nailed Ozai's intimidating personality, also showing a bit of his hurt too as to why he is how he is (Zuko's mom). I also agreed with Zuko about the war plan, yes sacrifice is apart of war but if it's preventable then they should avoid it. (Seem's Ozai's ego was hurt when his was plan called terrible) Also concerning the 41'st division I sympathized with the lieutenant because Zuko was treating him poorly especially, and he should've known better knowing what that's like. I hope now that Zuko has been shown respect despite his past actions he'll respect his crew more as well.
@@coloraturawhite892 the wadrobe is fine i mean it’s accurate isn’t it? Maybe it’s lil bit over saturated because of the Color grading , Pacing ? I can’t complain about it cause it’s netflix 8 episodes I think what we got was more than enough so hopefully next season it’s getting better in all aspects
I mean, the show isn't exactly perfect. I agree with u on this change being great, Actually, this episode as a whole was just amazing. probably the best episode in the the show. but still, The show itself has a lot of problems. For example, the pasing of the show is really fast, and sometimes, it's so fast that it ends up causing some of the most iconic and important moments not to hit as hard. and essentially ruins the moment. i think the reason for this weird pasing is all of the original changes and expansions that they made. although I love all of them I think the expansions on the story were great, like the one u were talking about for example. But ultimately, All of that extra content ended up not leaving enough room for the stuff that actually mattered. Overall, It was a great show, but with some serious issues that I hope will be fixed in future seasons.
Some of the changes hit a lot harder with the human emotions and Dallas is really doing a great job conveying them. And Monk Gyatso coming back for seconds with the heartbending.
The reason Dallas got into martial arts in the first place is because he was a huge fan of Avatar when he was a kid, adapting the style of the fire nation because Zuko was his favorite character. You can even search in youtube and videos of him performing as a kid will appear. Like Daniel said, Dallas skills are just insane that he makes it seem effortless. Even the stunt team had to nerf him because of it.
@@Cookiesandcreamss Still I have one gripe that it's shown that Zuko's abilities were somewhat on par with Ozai as he could have land punches on him,I think that's make Ozai less of a threat to aang
@@kashutosh9132 pretty sure ozai was holding back in order to see what zuko would do. He even gave him an opening to land a blow. The hesitation was exactly what he was looking for
@@NoctilucaBloom I don't think what you state is show in the show Let's hope that's the case or something similar to it - and this could work too since we see Ozai testing his children in the show
Dallas is the real MVP of the series. As a huge ATLAB fan since the very beginning, I believe no one could do a better job than him. The acting, the martial arts, stunts, etc. Its all him! And the depth the creators have given Zuko this first season is so well written and acted. Just imagine how cool it would be to see his whole arc until he becomes part of team Avatar! I really hope Netflix picks this up for a 2nd and 3rd season, the whole crew deserves it
Hands down the best episode of this season. I love the changes they made. Seeing Gyatso in the spirit realm and hearing from him that it wasn't Aang's fault and that he couldn't have done anything about the attack is really what Aang needed, I am so glad they made that. And the story of the 41st Division coming full circle, damn, that made me cry, great wrap up to zuko's banishing backstory.
@@to0muchtoan truly a great addition! first the motivation of his crew was sympathy with zuko in animated show. but this here his sacrifice and the respect he has earned with his crew.. truly legendary
There we go, the best rated and most people's favorite episode. They did alot things right in this one including expending the lore and Dallas Liu performance was next level. ❤
This might sound crazy but Dallas made me LOVE Zuko after watching this episode. I’ve always liked him in ATLA especially in book 3, but I love him in this.
That statute is mother of faces in comic she's the one zuko mom went to change her face and wipe her memory after leaving. She gave new face to people and wip their memories but i am surprised she's koh mom never new that.
Oh snap zuko and aang having a heart to heart right there back. They didn’t do this talking at this point in the story. What sucks is the last time zuko showed comparison he got burned and scarred.
This was definitely my favourite episode. I was sceptical when they had Zuko fight in the agni kai instead of refusing, but having thought about it a couple of days I actually don't mind too much. Also, the change with the 41st division was a great addition.
Yeah, I really noticed that about Zuko’s actor from the very first episode. He’s what I like to call a “face actor” and he’s fantastic at it. What I mean by that, is the micro-expressions and subtle movements and twitches that give real depth to reality, and it’s so often missing even with some of the best actors out there. Robin Williams was another one of those face actors, and it’s why he always came across as so genuine and real in every role he played.
The way ozai broke those chains. I love that iroh stepped up and said hold on. Zuko didn’t get up in the cartoon and at least dogged here out up a good block even through some hands I give them credit
By far the best episode, the most emotionally taxing, most well written, and the one that focuses on character building for Aang, by proxy, and effective at doing it.
Funfact: The mother of faces spirit is canon. It comes in book 4 of ATLA which was unaired in anime... there's a arc where zuko searches for his mother.... turns out after she left the palace (she was exiled for helping ozai poison the firelord azulon) she went to meet her ex (she had a lover before she was brought to palace to marry the firelord) and they together went to the mother of faces who's mother of koh and has the ability to give new face and identity to people, but it consumes their past memories. She then starts a new life and has a daughter with her lover (zuko's not crazy, kind step sister).
In the eyes of Ozai, Zuko's sense of "compassion" will result to the end of the fire nation. The 100yrs of tyranny has caused vengeance running down generations of their enemies, hence every successive firelord necessity to ruthlessness. The moment you take your foot off the tiger's neck, you give chance to attack your ( citizens, territories, resources or allies) Zuko's incapacity to that level of cruelty, unlike Azula is very concerning, to him.
They did a pretty good job here. "The Blue Spirit" and "The Storm" are two of the best episodes from Book 1 of ATLA, so all the beats are there. And I don't think we missed too much by combining some things. As cool as June and Nala are, the Bato episode is pretty inconsequential. So having her be the one to find him, works fine. The scene with the 41st bowing to Zuko might be the most powerful scene in this series, though it seemed a little rushed. I think they were trying to play it off as Iroh was telling Jee the story of what happened to Zuko throughout the episode, but that didn't really come across much, until Jee went "The 41st? but *we're* the 41st."
This live action made me cry so hard. Whoever say the show is not good, have no idea what they are talking about. There are manny things i missed that they didn't show but they handled it very goood!
This was by leagues my favorite episode out of the bunch. Dallas is absolutely wrecking my tear ducts with his Zuko portrayal. If we never get anything else from the live action, I will always hold his performance here as the best thing we got from it. PS: If you've never read the comics, you should. They actually pulled the Mother of Faces from The Search.
Your reactions are so beautifully pure, I'm crying all over again with the two of you watching it again. If you put on the subtitles, and do a re-watch later, there's some fairly inaudible dialogue that happens in the background of a few episodes that refers to storylines in episodes of the cartoon that didn't make it to the live series. It's a lovely little secret kind of tip of the hat to those of us who adore the source material. I love it.
That statue of the mother of faces hits different when you either read the comic or watch the video recap of what happened to Zuko's mom. Big "oh shit!" easter egg right there.
Daniel did 2 voices in the animated series and killed it. Now he's back as Ozai amd killed it 2. I hope Mark Hamill is watching this. Seeing as how he was the original voice of Ozai.
Roku making Aang hop on one leg is as out of character if Kyoshi, Kuruk or Yangchen made him do it too. He is the Avatar whose actions (or lack of) led directly into the conflict of this show. He should be showing regret that this is the Avatar who is only a kid has to shoulder this burden. He is the Avatar who should be raising the stakes.
Avatar Roku was the one who interacted with Sozin the guy they decided to show in the first fifteen minutes of the live-action version. Roku is finally meeting the Avatar who has to shoulder his burden for the first time in over 100 years and sees that it is only a kid. He should feel a huge pit in his stomach the moment he saw Aang.
I really appreciated hearing about Jaby's background in casting - it helps me understand your analysis more and it put words to how I felt about Gordon's acting, he's doing a good job and he really got better the deeper into the season we go. And you're both right, his best moments are when he's quietly observing, this episode when he's being dragged away in the cart, and he looks back to Zuko and Iroh really tugged at my heart. And he works best with Gyatso and Zuko's actors so far for me, maybe it's a comfort thing or something with those two. Overall, ep6 is my fave episode, so much depth and so much packed into the run time but it didn't feel stuffed the way some of the earlier episodes did. And I must say, I actually appreciated time away from the water siblings - those two are fine and I do enjoy them but I think the real heart of this show is Aang, Zuko, Gyatso and Iroh, and these two episodes (5-6) show us why.
Also, imagine how heart breaking it would be, when Zuko betrays uncle at the crossroads in the crystal mines since we already starting to like him more
This LA was good. People should stop hating the show just because they didn't see it how they wanted it to be. Coz if they do, it will definitely affect the rating which determines whether there'll be another season or not. Funny thing is, they will also be the ones who will complaint if the show didn't get another season.
Shame they swapped out Avatar Roku's scene at the temple for Avatar Kyoshi. Though they could have still shown her badassery liberating her people from the mainland. Splitting the continent and pushing it out to start a new land against a tyrant would have made for an awesome live action scene a better realization of power.
Dang Jaby, that laugh of yours is amazing. I got a flashback from the first time I saw Michael Jackson's "Thriller" music video and heard Vincent Price's laugh. You have that same iconic level to yours. If you haven't started doing voice acting you really should. I think you and Achara will be excellent voice actors. I enjoyed seeing Aang and Zuko teamed up. If Zuko was able to use his powers in combination with Aang they would be a problem. I've thought of a few power combos that would be so badass for them. Achara's right about how they've hit you in the feeling seen episode 4. Episode 4, 5 and 6 got me at different levels, Basically, episodes 4 and 6 came closest to getting tears because of the Zuko and Iroh stories. However, I didn't get actual tears until I saw the reaction when Achara or both of you cried. I get hit harder when other people cry especially when I see women cry since I was a kid. I had to work on that because there are women that are not nice who will use that against you. This show keeps getting better and better for me. I'm definitely going to be watching Season 2 and 3 if Netflix continues making the show. They'd have to start really messing up on the show to change that. The theme of the episode about everyone wearing masks in their life to protect themselves emotionally is true. I know that I tend to use comedy to deal with a lot of messed up stuff in my life. When things tend to suck or I'm just not happy I prefer to do things to make myself feel better and making myself laugh or others laugh always works for me. Personally, the Fire Nation isn't my favorite, but they're interesting. The nation I like is the Airbenders, but they were killed off. I'd love to see a spin-off Season 1 called "Nomads: Chronicles of the Airbenders" that tells about the Airbenders before Aang was born. Maybe even about the previous Airbender Avatar. Most likely won't happen, but I can dream. This show keeps getting better and better for me. I'm definitely going to be watching Season 2 and 3 if Netflix continues making the show. They'd have to start really messing up on the show to change that. Enjoyed the reaction 👍👍✌ out.
This show is doing a lot of things wrong, but it's doing some things right. The 41st change is a great idea. And there's nothing stopping it from being canon in the real show as well.
Now that I think about it. Zuko's mom haven't been cast in season 1. So season 2 is getting me hyped up for how they'll break it down. Plus it's OK for me that Ang grows older each season. I feel like season 2 will focus on Ang's training with water and earth bending. Plus don't tear bend CINEPALS or you'll make me tear bend. I NEED MEAT!!!
seeing Overrr Reacting 😭 I remembered a viral meme in which a girl standing on a stage gives a smile in between when she is crying. But her acting of crying looked real.
Some people don't like the casting at all, I think it's good the only pick I don't like is Azula's actress, I don't think she's bad she's just not threatening in the slightest imo
Yall have to remember azula is playing the good school girl. Over achiver in season 1. I dont even remember azula much in season 1 animated version. So yall are expecting too much from her rn. In season 2 she starts going crazy and become a sociopath. And in season 3 she completely looses her mind.
I waited so long for this live action to come to netflix! I will say, as an og fan of the animated series I did'nt quite enjoy my binge. I really wanted too but I didn’t, idk maybe after a second watch I might enjoy it more... I think they wrote out a handful of core character narratives that come into play later down the line which is what made the original so great! Because of that I think the LA is a 6/10 for me, and not because of the visuals, the visuals are great! At the end of it all, it all comes down to how it was written. 6/10
@@hassansulaiman3848I did enjoy some things. The action Choreography was really good and the visuals. I liked the portrayal of zuko too but that’s it. They did a lot of exposition dumping and thats just bad writing. Hey, it’s like Sokka said… “at least the effects were decent…”
@@temtoonnefertem4131 That's not even close to bad writing, for you it might come across as such, because you already know the world, this show is meant for og fans and new people. Exposition is necessary
@@sheogorath979 exposition can be necessary at times but to much is just lazy writing in my opinion. Ever heard of show don’t tell, showing something rather than explaining it has a greater affect on the story
The mother of faces - was responsible for changing zukos' moms face and erasing her memory after she was exhiled by Ozai. Thats the reason why she never went back to find her kids. Zuko eventually finds his mom and her memory and her original face is restored.
I know theatre kids like to really hit their T’s lol that’s why Cormier said words like responsibility and important the way he did. That’s a good example of his overtraining
I love the change that the 41st division is the crew that Zuko saved from being sacrificed. I think this is one of my favorite episodes of the series

thank you, Achara and Jaby , for always having a genuine excitement to discuss in depth, nothing but support for you and the Cinepals
casting Aang is tricky since you need a child with significant martial arts skills and also needs to be able to act well enough to carry the show.
The way dude plays zhao is more sutble not over the top and aggressively angry
By far the best episode, the most emotionally taxing, most well written, and the one that focuses on character building for Aang, by proxy, and effective at doing it.

An accurate blue spirit mask I like it!!!! Not that scary ass shit from the movie
Ikr in that movie it was so ugly
I really appreciated hearing about Jaby's background in casting - it helps me understand your analysis more and it put words to how I felt about Gordon's acting, he's doing a good job and he really got better the deeper into the season we go. And you're both right, his best moments are when he's quietly observing, this episode when he's being dragged away in the cart, and he looks back to Zuko and Iroh really tugged at my heart. And he works best with Gyatso and Zuko's actors so far for me, maybe it's a comfort thing or something with those two. Overall, ep6 is my fave episode, so much depth and so much packed into the run time but it didn't feel stuffed the way some of the earlier episodes did. And I must say, I actually appreciated time away from the water siblings - those two are fine and I do enjoy them but I think the real heart of this show is Aang, Zuko, Gyatso and Iroh, and these two episodes (5-6) show us why.
Also, imagine how heart breaking it would be, when Zuko betrays uncle at the crossroads in the crystal mines since we already starting to like him more
This LA was good. People should stop hating the show just because they didn't see it how they wanted it to be. Coz if they do, it will definitely affect the rating which determines whether there'll be another season or not.
Funny thing is, they will also be the ones who will complaint if the show didn't get another season.
Idk if its just me, but after seeing dallas with longer hair, i feel like he would play a good liu kang
Btw that mother of faces Roku gave to Aang is canon in the comics
Shame they swapped out Avatar Roku's scene at the temple for Avatar Kyoshi. Though they could have still shown her badassery liberating her people from the mainland. Splitting the continent and pushing it out to start a new land against a tyrant would have made for an awesome live action scene a better realization of power.
We feel you, Achara!
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩The way you guys are zooming through these episodes.
It never made sense as to how Zuko's own crew didn't know why he got the scar yet some random Earth Kingdom guy in Zuko Alone did.
Dang Jaby, that laugh of yours is amazing. I got a flashback from the first time I saw Michael Jackson's "Thriller" music video and heard Vincent Price's laugh. You have that same iconic level to yours. If you haven't started doing voice acting you really should. I think you and Achara will be excellent voice actors.
I enjoyed seeing Aang and Zuko teamed up. If Zuko was able to use his powers in combination with Aang they would be a problem. I've thought of a few power combos that would be so badass for them.
Achara's right about how they've hit you in the feeling seen episode 4. Episode 4, 5 and 6 got me at different levels, Basically, episodes 4 and 6 came closest to getting tears because of the Zuko and Iroh stories. However, I didn't get actual tears until I saw the reaction when Achara or both of you cried. I get hit harder when other people cry especially when I see women cry since I was a kid. I had to work on that because there are women that are not nice who will use that against you.
This show keeps getting better and better for me. I'm definitely going to be watching Season 2 and 3 if Netflix continues making the show. They'd have to start really messing up on the show to change that.
The theme of the episode about everyone wearing masks in their life to protect themselves emotionally is true. I know that I tend to use comedy to deal with a lot of messed up stuff in my life. When things tend to suck or I'm just not happy I prefer to do things to make myself feel better and making myself laugh or others laugh always works for me.
Personally, the Fire Nation isn't my favorite, but they're interesting. The nation I like is the Airbenders, but they were killed off. I'd love to see a spin-off Season 1 called "Nomads: Chronicles of the Airbenders" that tells about the Airbenders before Aang was born. Maybe even about the previous Airbender Avatar. Most likely won't happen, but I can dream.

Enjoyed the reaction 👍👍✌ out.
Best episode imo.
It's so validating to know I'm not the only one who's ugly cried through this entire season lol
Well when they were filming the first season they were very young and I feel like they are new to acting
This show is doing a lot of things wrong, but it's doing some things right. The 41st change is a great idea. And there's nothing stopping it from being canon in the real show as well.
You’re pushing it… its great
I have the same pet peeve about doors not closing in movies. Also, not closing draperies in rooms when either going to have sex or are in hiding.
This show is great why is every other youtube channel hating on it baffles me...
I love this episode
The fire lord also voiced the earth kingdom general in the first ep of book 2. His portrayal is probably deeper than any of the other cast
Now that I think about it. Zuko's mom haven't been cast in season 1. So season 2 is getting me hyped up for how they'll break it down. Plus it's OK for me that Ang grows older each season. I feel like season 2 will focus on Ang's training with water and earth bending. Plus don't tear bend CINEPALS or you'll make me tear bend. I NEED MEAT!!!
Did general Zhao so dirty😂😂
How 😂
Blue spirit baby!!!!
seeing Overrr Reacting 😭
I remembered a viral meme in which a girl standing on a stage gives a smile in between when she is crying. But her acting of crying looked real.
I absolutely love this series your reactions are fantastic the changes are great and make so much sense absolutely incredible series 😊❤🎉
Some people don't like the casting at all, I think it's good the only pick I don't like is Azula's actress, I don't think she's bad she's just not threatening in the slightest imo
I feel you on that. I think she’s a good actress as well but didn’t make sense to me for this role. But that’s based purely on bias.
Yall have to remember azula is playing the good school girl. Over achiver in season 1. I dont even remember azula much in season 1 animated version. So yall are expecting too much from her rn. In season 2 she starts going crazy and become a sociopath. And in season 3 she completely looses her mind.
Monk Gyatso is a heartbender
I waited so long for this live action to come to netflix! I will say, as an og fan of the animated series I did'nt quite enjoy my binge. I really wanted too but I didn’t, idk maybe after a second watch I might enjoy it more...
I think they wrote out a handful of core character narratives that come into play later down the line which is what made the original so great! Because of that I think the LA is a 6/10 for me, and not because of the visuals, the visuals are great! At the end of it all, it all comes down to how it was written. 6/10
So did u enjoy some parts and what parts did u not enjoy
@@hassansulaiman3848I did enjoy some things. The action Choreography was really good and the visuals. I liked the portrayal of zuko too but that’s it. They did a lot of exposition dumping and thats just bad writing. Hey, it’s like Sokka said… “at least the effects were decent…”
@@temtoonnefertem4131 I mean u can just stick with the original show
@@temtoonnefertem4131 That's not even close to bad writing, for you it might come across as such, because you already know the world, this show is meant for og fans and new people. Exposition is necessary
@@sheogorath979 exposition can be necessary at times but to much is just lazy writing in my opinion. Ever heard of show don’t tell, showing something rather than explaining it has a greater affect on the story
The Mother of Faces is actually in the Avatar comics. Aang meets her and finds out Kho has mommy issues. 😂
The mother of faces - was responsible for changing zukos' moms face and erasing her memory after she was exhiled by Ozai. Thats the reason why she never went back to find her kids. Zuko eventually finds his mom and her memory and her original face is restored.
This show is doing “the show” justice.
That ending, ouch 😢
I think every actor in this show should be a huge fan of Avatar, like when hiring you should ask the actors ”how much of a fan of Avatar are you?”
I know theatre kids like to really hit their T’s lol that’s why Cormier said words like responsibility and important the way he did. That’s a good example of his overtraining
