@@eisgnom7383 the week katara found aang, Roku was there, he was just chilling on top of the iceberg with a lawn chair and an umbrella drink. When katara actually uncovered the stasis bubble, Roku fell out of the lawn chair annoyed before realizing "HOLY SHIT IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING! BOOK CLUB'S BACK ON GUYS!"
The tea issue is very simple - iroh knows that most people can’t brew tea well - to him its an art form, so why would he order his favourite tea - only to have it ruined
I always thought Iroh saying his favorite was Ginseng was because it's the strongest and most effective for his fire breathing he does to get away from Zhao.
Funky little detail about Zhao and Jeong Jeong’s signature moves, it makes sense that Zhao would’ve developed the fire splitting move since Jeong Jeong’s was an impassable wall of fire and he was Zhao’s teacher. He probably came up with it to combat Jeong Jeong and further developed it to work against fire blasts and not just walls
Some examples of Aang's crazy adventures Toph could be referencing. -Both Spirit World journeys -When he gets frogs for Sokka and Katarra -The swamp when they all split up and Aang follows weird ghost Toph -Him getting enrolled in a school within 2 minutes of being away from the others -His little Roku vision when he left the ship
Half of those were before Toph joined and some are so minor that it stands to reason that unless showed that they weren't shared because why would they? I'll grant a Roku vision that pertains to their mission, but the frogs with the Blue Spirit? On the list of crazy shit that's happened, not one that immediately comes to mind (even if as a viewer is was a good episode).
I always just sorta assumed that Aang was ok with the cold of the arctic because he was used to the higher elevations of the air temples and higher elevations are cold
But Katara and Sokka aren't? They live *at* the south pole, yet they're bundled up. The air bending temperature regulation makes... slightly more sense to me? I guess? Idk, if water benders can freeze water, I suppose it's not totally out of left field that air benders can warm the air, but I feel about that the same way that OAA said he feels about Katara "healing" Jet's brainwashing, which is to say "oh, ok I guess."
Zhao: "This will be nothing like your legendary failure at Ba Sing Se." Iroh (thinking of Zuko as his own son): "I hope not, for your sake." I love that this line reads as moral support, but with the context we get later, it's a threat.
My favorite thing you didn't mention but I understand why cause it was obvious is how in the boiling rock the warden is definitely the stereotype for that type of character except for the part where he's not a coward. he makes the statement hed rather jump into the boiling water than ruin the places reputation and he straight up tells his men to cut the line and was willing to die to stop the prisoners from escaping. I loved this cause often the villains in media or one off villains say hard ass shit like that but when push comes to shove back down but he didn't even hesitate the moment he got free he was willing to die. I felt that really spoke towards his actual character.
"Walk of shame" "Immediate Raid Shadow Legends ad" Yeah, pretty much. Anyway nobody can be expected to get every single thing right, but its cool to see you coming back to polish up some rough spots
After the Buzzard-Wasp "dies" and Aang walks off when Momo follows he actually slinks to the ground with his back and tail low enough to leave a trail in the sand. I really like this detail behind Momo emotional state implying that he is currently scared of Aang because he was flying fine after he was rescued it wasn't until after Aang attacked the Buzzard-Wasp that Momo freaked out.
bit late response but i thought momo had his tail low to leave the trail is since momo is still fucked up over the cactus juice a little bit, yea he could fly but he was prob just a little dizzy still
One thing that always gets me, is that the first time Aang activates the Avatar State (besides to Freeze himself and Appa) is when he falls from Zuko’s ship. Yet the first time the beacons were activated in the temples was when he went into the Avatar State in the Southern Air Temple.
I've spent years trying to come up with a plausible explanation lmao, and the only thing I can think is that Aang visiting the Hall of Statues had some effect on it. Perhaps seeing the past Avatars connected him to his past lives, or maybe it was because he went into the Avatar State in such close proximity to the statues
Ive always felt that his avatar state moment in that first episode is one of the weaker/less necessary ones. Definitely feels likes its just there to check it off the list of "avatar stuff" they need to put in the pilot pair, like introducing the core cast and establishing bending etc.
I always saw the Southern Air Temple one as like a hyper-powered version of it. Aang gets so much darker and more lethal in that moment and I feel like it was just giving off so much raw energy that it caused those statues and shrines to glow.
When Zuko sleeps with Iro and the Gang he sleeps scar side up. This would make it harder to hear and easier to be snuck upon. When he sleeps with people he doesn't like he sleeps scar side down so it's easier to be more alert. Can't believe OA missed my favorite subtle symbolism bit in all of Avatar AGAIN.
I pretty much made this same comment on your final episode. I had seen enough pop culture images of Avatar to recognize it, but I had never watched it and had no intention of watching it. I had a preconceived notion of what it was. Then your series came on my youtube feed and I was curious. I watched a few episodes because you're funny. You piqued my interest enough to give it a go. I watched it from start to finish and loved every second of that journey. Thank you for proving me wrong about Avatar.
@The Game Shorts 🅥 their getting better, being a rip off of game theory so people would think this is an actual comment by them. this is becoming a chronic problem with youtube and its really annoying
3:16 i looked up ginseng tea, and apparently its comes from a very slow-growing and hard to cultivate root, so maybe this root or tea was expensive at the time atla was taking place? it would make sense because iroh and zuko spend a lot of the show in poverty when they betray the fire nation, so they wouldn’t really have access to said tea. it would make sense that zhao has access to it here because he has a relatively high ranking position within the fire nation. perhaps jasmine tea is a close second favorite for iroh? idk thats my guess
also favorites can shift over time. i am pretty into tea and my favorite a couple years ago was black chai and i had it so much i got kind of sick of it and sencha became my fave.
10:07 Actually it does make sense that Aang does not remember Azula. IF you remember in “The Chase” Aang is really sleep deprived. Lack of sleep can affect memory and recall. Yes, he met her, but he’s so tired he forgot her name. He probably remembered meeting her in Omashu, later after resting.
Aang also doesn't see any significance in titles. They don't tell him very much, and Azula acts more like a ruthless bounty hunter than a princess. It may be a way of feeling in control of the situation, after being sent fleeing all night. Demanding that your pursuer explain themselves, even if you get the gist of who they are, seems like an authoritative tactic.
I’m a little 🍃 and I read your comment after watching that part and thought I just saw my thoughts and kept reading the comments thinking it was my thoughts but realized I was just reading… I just realized again commenting this ‘who cares’ I’ve gone too far not to comment now
Fun semi related fact on your Willy Wonka tune bison whistle: Willy Wonka was the name of a famous brown colored bison that mated with a rare white bison, who gave birth to another white bison calf at Spirit mountain ranch in Flagstaff Arizona. When I was a kid I went there on a super gusty day and Willy Wonka pissed and it flew downwind into my eyes and mouth. Bison piss burns, man.
Thanks haha. Glad I can laugh about it now even though I cried about it then. Mr. Wonka hosed down my father and I actually.... My sister and mom were far enough behind us that they were safe 😅
I saw quite a few of those episodes on TV and I always wanted to go back and watch the whole series with the bonus commentary, but as far as I can tell, it doesn't exist anywhere these days.
For the times when Aang is in his Airbender attire while in cold climates: we see the 3 different Airbender temples at the summits of mountains and, speaking from experience, it’s cold up at the summit. I figure if they’re fine up there, Aang’s fine pretty much everywhere else.
The "shave and a haircut two bits" became so ubiquitous after being a jingle because it was then used during the Prohibition as a subtle way to request alcohol.
On the Katara door thing, in the scene before the one at 4:23 Katara watches him push it open and walk through so that's probably how she knows how to use it.
For the water bending shield thing, I always just assumed that it was similar to normal shields. Like, if you block a spear with a shield you don’t get hurt but you still might feel the force of the spear hitting the shield. Like, it might still knock you over. So basically she blocked the bending but not the full force of the bending. Does that make sense? That’s just how I always thought about it
But why would a fireball be heavy enough to knock a person down, as realistically they could only be igniting the gasses in the air? Even a flamethrower, which uses heavier fuel, wouldn't knock you back if it hit you. This is actually something I've always wondered about firebending, you see it imparting force on things all the time and, well, that's just not how fire works.
@@alexandertiberius1098 actually that’s a good point, I don’t know. Well combustion bending is a type of fire bending and explosions have concussive force, so maybe even though fire itself doesn’t really have any force behind it, fire bending might and that’s why people can combustion bend? I don’t know, I’d have to give it some thought
@@elizabethw I think that might be exactly what it is. Combustion bending might just have come from someone focusing and developing the concussive force already present in normal fire bending.
but waterbenders aren't touching the water, so the force wouldn't transfer to them, it could still knock them over but wouldn't be like a shield that you hold
@@michaelu3055 when Zuko is trying to learn lightningbending he gets mad because it just keeps exploding, so this works with a theory I have that firebenders are actually affecting the state of atoms. Iroh says lightning is generated by separating positive and negative energies and then letting them crash back together and when he takes down the wall of Ba Sing Se, he creates a massive fireball not unlike a nuclear blast and then directs it at the wall. (In my personal head cannon, Iroh nukebends) basically, I think what I'm trying to say is that I think too deeply about this kids show.
About the wooden cage in the Fire Nation, it actually makes some sense when you factor in that a smart fire bender could just concentrate some torch-like fire and melt the metal bars, while only the dumbest one would dare put fire against a wooden oven (which wouldn't be a big loss for a totalitarian regime).
Can’t they just use fire bending to keep the entire cage from going up in flames and keep it hyper located on a small spot though? Like if we assume they can hyper focus fire to cut steel, they should be able to hyper focus fire to prevent all the wood from burning.
@@Lanthardol Exactly what I was thinking! But it is a basic prison cell. I think such a complex plan would need the bender to master that specific skill, and if the bender is that strong, they would've been transfered to a more secure cell in the first place. Like in the boiling rock prison (if I remembered the name correctly), where there aren't any wooden cells, even though fire benders exist there (Which are war prisoners and leaders of gangs so they are stronger than other fire benders).
@@Lanthardol now that i think about it, have we ever seen firebenders move fire that already existed or do we only ever see them produce fire and block it? why don’t we ever see fire benders moving fire the same way and earthbender or a water bender would move a distant rock/puddle
I mean, trying to burn your way out of a wooden prison cell isn't exactly the most subtle way to escape a prison. Like, 'hey, is that a large plume of smoke coming from where the prison cells are?' 'why, yes it is! I'm also catching notes of woodfire and burnt flesh in the air, I wonder what's happening over there.'
It's kinda weird but it makes me so happy that he got a Raid sponsor because at the beginning of the series he talks about how "he's not cool enough for a sponsor" awesome to see how the channel expanded
to what Toph is refering to about Aang running away: When they were on the stolen fire navy ship, Aang ran away. This is likely what she is talking about.
Also when he left them in desert to look for Appa. Which I get completely understandable but also another time where she can account for him running away.
I don't think I ever commented on this, but the Patron shoutouts are as much of a highlight of your vids as anything else. The sheer creativity with which you come up with new ridiculously impossible feats is just fascinating and it's something special that I've never seen anyone else do.
@@carmacksanderson3937 that would make more sense but they all have a consistency in tone to them, he must be doing them all himself I just have no idea how
One of the things i thought of is at the beginning and you mentioned “I wouldn’t wanna get hit by a mattress in a hurricane.” Yes he got hit hard with a mattress but that mattress then slammed Zuko into a STEEL FUCKING WALL.
The bison whistle actually scared me once with how loud it was for me. The episode was just playing in the background when it came on and there was a shrieking sound out of nowhere
I'd never heard the Tea thing, but my guess is Iroh is either trying to better understand Zuko by drinking the tea he likes, or persuade him into drinking more tea by always making sure to order his favorite in front of him. Maybe if Zuko given in and had a few more cups of tea with Iroh earlier on instead of refusing most of the time, he could have changed earlier.
Azula's takeover of the earth kingdom probably would have made more sense if she had discovered the brainwashing technique and then used it herself, but Azula with mind control could get pretty out of control pretty quickly.
Honestly I don't think it'd help her as much as it seems. It looks like it takes a fairly long time and realistically, if Azula wanted the level of control that Azula would want, she'd need to be the one doing the brainwashing and I don't think she'd have the time to do that. Maybe for someone really important but Azula could probably get what she needs through force or her own manipulation that she's already very good at. Also I think brainwashing isn't really her mo. I think Azula prefers to put people in positions where they HAVE to obey her rather than trying to directly control them, brainwashing takes time and can be undone but coercion is generally quicker and more effective because you can rely on people thinking for themselves in order to please you more than you can rely on. I think thats also why mei and ty Lee's betrayal unwound her so much, these were people who she thought would obey her of their own volition so then turning on her means that she can no longer trust that anyone who she believes is working for her out of fear, is actually working for her. Given all that, i think Azula would see brainwashing as a weaker and less effective method of control than what she already had. Sorry for the novel, I assume we like overanalysing here lol
@@masync183 That's a really good point! I think there is also an egotistical manner for Azule for not brainwashing anyone, she LIKES to make people fear her by their own choice. Brainwashing takes all the "fun" out of the process. Poor Azula, don't take her toys!
@@user-mw2sk7pi5x very much, Azula might blow you up just for suggesting that she needs to rely on mind control and that her "right to rule" wasn't enough.
7:06 Aang had escaped after being caught by Zhao 3 episodes earlier, in 'the blue spirit'. Not only did Zhao lose the esteem he would have received for catching the avatar, he was also humiliated in front of the entirety of the fire nation. I can understand why Zhao might act desperate or quick-tempered in a situation where he's being taunted by Aang at this point in the story.
A theory I have about the statues eyes glowing, I think they didn't start glowing till after Aang went into the statue room at the Air Temple and they didn't glow beforehand because he hadn't entered and really connected and linked himself with the other Avatars.
One I noticed after the 70th rewatch was the tea set Iroh used when Toph and he were talking. It looked like it was made of earth. So Toph probably outright just made it in front of him. So That totally means Iroh was absolutely super cool with that. Not exactly surprising but it’s still cool. (That or I’m full of crap. And the set was made of something else.) Another one that’s probably more out there than the first bit is how they lit the fire. Classic stick on stick approach? Maybe Iroh had some spark rocks on him? Or maybe he lit it himself and Toph was chill in turn? Definitely much farther out there but I still think it’s cool.
i can’t imagine toph making a fuss about a firebender. The only exposure to the fire nation she really has is the “fire nation man”. She has no reason to be triggered by a fire bender, as at that point this “hundred year war” that she’s never actually seen the effects of has made her quite desensitized, because it’s not in her immediate reality and never has been until later in the show.
Growing up, she was super sheltered, so she may well not have been totally aware of everything about the fire nation. The earthbending fights had fire nation heels, but that's more performance than a representation of actual fire nation people. and... 0.o There is no war in the Earth Kingdom! o.0
One very small thing I noticed is that old sweepy was almost certainly brainwashed into thinking they were sending appa to wail tail island. The sad thing is that that means he probably doesn't even know his real name, given he always refers to himself as old sweepy.
@@shikitohno47 maybe if brainwashing wasn't a major plot point of what happens at Ba Sing Se it would seem crazy. But it is, so this makes complete sense
Overanalyzing avatar in the library episode: "nah I'm not cool enough to be sponsored" After atla: "this video is sponsored by raid shadow legends" Even overanalyzing avatar has great character development, that's how great atla is
So glad I found this series just after it was finished being made. I love avatar more than any other peice of media ive ever seen so to see another person share an interest to just an extent is very awesome to see. Thank you for the work you've done, really special.
I hope you don’t find your mistakes disheartening, because despite them you still made a pretty fuckin great RU-vid series that got me excited every week. Genuinely, thank you for the great content.
14:05 In the Avatar Extras for The Blind Bandit, we learn that Toph can use Earthbending to sense earth anywhere, even if it’s not attached to the ground. In the Winter Solstice part 2, in the first scene featuring the Fire Navy’s fireballs (when Iroh complains that they should shoot the gaang down with something more fragrant) we see that they’re just boulders covered in oil and set alight. So that’s how Toph knew where to shoot.
That... makes me think of Seismic Sense as less cool. I thought the whole thing behind Seismic Sense was that you were feeling the vibrations of the earth. It obviously can't be her feeling the vibrations from the boulder through the air, because otherwise she'd be able to sense anything and everything around her, not just what is on the ground.
@@llamawalrushybrid It would somewhat make sense. Some blind people essentially teach themselves echolocation and use little clicks with their tongue to get a sense for their surroundings. This of course wouldn't really work in the middle of a loud, fiery attack on the sea but it would make a little more sense.
@@whirl3690 Super old comment, but here's my take: the OP's bit about sensing with "earthbending" is a different mechanism at play than Siesmic Sense. All benders have to be able to feel their element in some way even if it's not directly visible or even extremely nearby them. That's how waterbenders can bend spring water underground or earthbenders can throw earthen projectiles or objects from behind them like Bumi (Overpowered example but he was launching houses halfway up Omashu). It's probably much easier to directly strike an earthen projectile to launch it, likely why we see that way more, in a way like how a no-look pass is harder than a chest pass in basketball. So sensing when a new source of earth is hurdling towards you is probably a thing all earthbenders have, if not practiced in using that creatively. On the ground, earth coming from the sky would be pretty noticeable, so even more so on a ship floating at sea. Sensing the vibrations through the ground to visualize your surroundings, even when blinded or unaware, is squarely a master+ level technique invented by Toph, our mini badass. (And the greatest earthbender in the world; don't you two dunderheads forget it!)
I always assume Toph is referring to when Aang ran away from the ship to Roku's crescent island. Or the time he had to leave Katara and Sokka when they got sick (i get he didn't run away, but I'm sure Toph would've heard about it at some point.)
I can accept the ginseng jasmine debate tho. His favorite might be ginseng, but he saves it for special occasions. You don't eat your favorite food EVERY day, but when you do, you enjoy it more. But there might be some food that's more of an everyday quality. I could eat pizza almost every day, but if you'd ask me what my favorite food was I'd say a homemade burger for sure.
My take is simply that Iroh really LOVES tea! They're all his favorite! Other occasions his favorite tea may be whatever he is offered or the house specialty to compliment whoever provides it. Except for hot leaf juice, nobody likes that.
My mother used to tell me that ginseng was very expensive because it had a bunch of health benefits which made it sought after. I think at a chinese medicine shop I saw some plant root going for like $50/pound. Do you think Iroh orders jasmine tea because it was probably easier to find and cheaper to get decent quality jasmine tea than to find ginseng?
Nobody ever talks about how Aang's eyes keep switching from gray/black to brown and no, it's not just the scene lighting. It was one of the first things I noticed about the show.
I think the reason they knew the size of the grates in day of black sun is because the Mechanist himself most likely designed the Gates of Azulon for the fire nation. They are something that is very technically advanced, as a gate that can raise and ignite on its own out of the sea without any help, and we see other examples of the mechanist designing advanced military equipment for the Fire Nation, like the drill, and the war balloons. It's not that far of a leap in my opinion.
15:10 "when Azula goes all horse crazy" Is that a reference to Filmcows Welcome to the CIA video? Also, this video was fricken amazing! Absolutely loved it!
Actually, I took a class in college that was about intuition and the staple example was doors and handles. Humans are born knowing how to use doors and to pick things up by their handles. The class went on to talk about how violating this intuition happens often and can be very frustrating - i.e. a pull handle on a push door or a handle that convects too much heat and becomes too hot to hold.
Okay I'll take this one. You are both correct and incorrect. Humans know how to use doors and handles because when attempting to discern how to interact with them we are drawn to the easiest (or only possible) outcroppings; handles, knobs, etc. All good so far. However, to reach this 'use' phase you must FIRST recognize the thing you are looking at as an entrance/exit. If you have never seen a door you aren't going to recognize it as a place of entry, even if you would be able to interact with it if you did discern that it was the entrance.
I’m glad you finally get to advertise your work after keeping it pure for the whole run. Very much looking forward to your future content cheers to 2022
6:20 I wonder if Aang is just deathly afraid of his new found family leaving him. Before being popsicled his only real friend was Gyatso; the other children shunned him for being the Avatar. Now he has Katara and Sokka who don’t judge him for not living up to the monks’ aloof stoicism or running away. This is the first time they’ve been presented with a decent temptation to split with Aang. It doesn’t matter if they would abandon him in favor of their father; the possibility that they might was so terrifying he jumped to conclusions.
14:05 When talking about "the duke" supposedly helping toph aim at the fire nation ships' projectiles....I Just had an idea from watching that scene again..... If the Duke is near toph, and trying to help her aim, Toph can use her seismic sense to probably determine his line of sight, then adjust her earthbending to have the rocks follow the same path. So the Duke just needs to point at and/or look at the fireball (or it's future position), and toph can block them
12:39 that is actually true, as you get older you start to lose hearing in certain ranges, so higher pitched noises after a while become unheard after a certain age.
I binge whatched the hole channel in a couple of days and I can think and analize random content that i consume with your voice now, and I'm pretty amazed by that. Amazing channel dude, really dig it
Is there a super-cut of all the funny patron shout-outs? I feel like I could binge all of those in one sitting assuming I don't die of laughter before the end.
That would fucking Tiring. The train is atleast entirely stone and can build up momentum , they would have to apply a tonne of force on those rocks in the water wheel to maintain speed for as long as they do.
@@cageybee7221 I mean they could just use sails? It honestly I think that they have their own versions of steam power, albeit less advanced. Seems unlikely the the fire Nation alone would come up with the tech and it just wouldn’t reach any of the other nations. We know for example that the machinist was fully aware of steam power and he wasn’t a member of the fire nation
When Aang and Appa are both chained up it’s the blue spirit who sets them free… coincidence, I think not! Love the videos man thank you for what you do.
16:21 I think Aang just went for a recon swim. Before he meets the Lion turtle, he dives underwater, and between air and waterbending both, you could stay down there for hours
Alright back to the Zhao thing, what made him rage after being bested by Aang was that not so long ago he was talking mad shit to zuko for being bested by a child. He probably felt such a deep feeling of shame that he probably thought of himself like he was just as shameful as Zuko. These feelings of shame for not being good enough probably run deep in the culture of the fire nation. Hence Iroh blah blah blah you know the rest
exactly, he claims to be basically THE best firebender and a 12 year old can literally run circles around him and compares him to someone he thinks so poorly of, so yeah it's understandable to get pissed. And was probably also irritated seeing his old master again
I have something! Aang thinks it’s unlikely fire benders got to air temples because “you need air bisons to get there” but then in S3 he’s surprised to hear dragons weren’t around anymore from Zuko! So why would Aang think it’s unlikely they got to air temples without flying bison when as far as he’s concerned, they still have flaying dragons?
Regardless of future retcons, I think Airbender's clothes are designed to stay insulated, since they're in the sky all the time. You can see how Aang's outfit is multilayered and tied down.
The Crown artifact that is given to Zuko by Iroh could be Iroh's since he was the Crown Prince, and when his father died he never got to be crowned while his brother, who was basically a "spare wheel" got crowned. Iroh probably kept it tho only for later to give it to Zuko.
@@battlesheep2552 To establish that Zuko should be the crowned prince, and that he needs to rule after Ozai is removed from power, and not Iroh or Azula. Even after this, Zuko still thinks Iroh should rule after the comet, but Iroh reaffirms it.
16:30 didn’t Aang mention learning something about “secret underwater tunnels” to Sokka after visiting fire-nation school? I think it went something like: Aang: “but Sokka, tomorrow we were going to learn about secret underwater tunnels” Sokka: “hmm, yes, I’m a fan of secret underwater tunnels”
Like someone already said, it was a secret river but I don’t think that body of water would count as “secret”. Although I’ve always wondered how secret a river can be if it’s being taught in schools so maybe Aang just said it was secret to get Sokka on board
For how the ships moved, my best guess is that the water wheel has some part earth in it (Whether fully stone or just earthen studs) and some peeps just spin that.
@@BoserPSN I wouldn't complain about sponsor if it wasn't a video game casino or at least add would be easily skippable. Mash L 6 times and add is over. At this point I think literally everyone saw Raid Garbage Legends sponsorships.
12:14 with it being an earth kingdom boat I would have thought the water wheel would be made of stone and propelled by an earthbender a bit like how the trains in the earth kingdom are moved via earthbending
I would think so as well I think it’s made a bit of earth but not completely since rock can wear down pretty fast especially under water and propelling a Boat but I think that that wouldn’t be an issue because there’s a ton of earth around (just some more thoughts to this theory)
Funny thing is, I discovered this series earlier this month and I remember a lot of these refute/add-on comments from checking them out after each video. Fun seeing some of the best ones getting highlighted!
When the lady at the ferry-line at Ba Sing Sei denies the cabbage man, saying “even one cabbage slug can devastate the blahblah”, a platypus bear smashes the cabbages. As the guy screams “my cabbages!” if you pause at the right frame, you can actually see a cabbage slug flying off along with the rest of the cabbages.
@@calebtaylor2614 going frame by frame at the highest resolution available (1080p on this youtube video) the wheel is going backwards. I doubt a frame rate issue could cause this unless the wheel was moving very fast in the original animation, but I guess I can't say for sure.
I’ve seen your videos before and I have to say I love your intro, quick and paresis. I love how you just jump in to it; so I don’t have to skip to good part.
I don’t why your sense of humor resonates with me, and clearly many other, but I love it so much. Maybe because it feels so genuine, maybe because you’re not trying to take anything seriously. Idk but I love it.
17:20 I think this is actually one of my favorite rhetorical devices, zeugma. In this kind of zeugma, a single verb applies to two subjects but using different meanings of said verb. “The man was gone (he left) and so was she (dead).”
Something I meant to comment on before about Zhao's special move. Zhao wants to be the strongest. He purposely sought out and learned from Jeong Jeong, the best firebender besides Iroh and Ozai, and developed a technique specifically to counter his master. Zhao is the only person we see that walks through firewalls like it ain't no thing.
iroh's loss of lu ten is part of the reason why he looks older than ozai. ozai never lost a child, so he hasn't suffered through that like iroh did. as time went on, iroh missed lu ten more and more, so that's why when iroh started being closer to zuko, his hair wasn't gray yet
@@blobbertmcblob4888 i know, i just worded it weirdly. i shouldve put he looks much older than ozai than he wouldve looked like if he didnt lose lu ten
I'm so glad youtube suggested this channel to me. Now I have a way to binge the series faster than streaming it while being entertained by your comedy and edits.
i also noticed that the map aang received in "bato of the water tribe" episode seems a lot like the map hanging behind general fong in "the avatar state" episode. don't know if anyone has already talked about it or if i'm getting crazy
@@laugeraaby9282 nice! i wonder if it was actually supposed to mean something or if they were just reusing the picture think no one would notice hahahhah
@@enricopossolli6397 excactly what I commented on the original hahahah. Could be either honestly. But the realist in me says that they just saw a military looking map and went "yea sure, put it in"
i'd like to point out. you mentioned that you didn't know when Aang mastered the Avatar state after his back hit in the rock at the last fight scene with Ozai. i believe he does master going in to it, right before Azula shots him with lightning in the crystal caves, and just opens a chakra stream that was probably blocked from back then
Yeah I thought this was pretty explicit. We even hear the Guru say "The only way is to let her go." Then Aang says "I'm sorry, Katara" right before walling himself up and going Avatar. He mastered it in that scene.
17:57 I think he says “blocking my chakra” and means “I’m getting caught up on my romantic troubles, thereby blocking my thought chakra, which doesn’t like earthly attachments.”
something I always noticed was in the Old Masters, how the sun warriors do a move with their rings of fire that looks awfully like the classic fire nation bow
