The Fire Nation | Avatar: The Last Airbender | Netflix Philippines 

Like the Nazis that slaughtered the Jews in WWII.

No, it's genocide.

@@daltonchildress2366 Yes

Massacre and genocide

They were a pacific people, of course they had no army

man….like it really reminded me that the children died as well. they were brutally murdered. i wanted to believe the children died peacefully

@@daniellemeikle2050 yeah….Ik the series wasn’t 100% to the T with the animated series but I think they did this part Justice with getting the portrayal of the horrors of the air nomad genocide correctly.

@@jinkong3440 absolutely. I give the show overall seven out of 10.

@@daniellemeikle2050I’d put the live action show along side with “Godzilla Minus One”, mostly because of how well it did and the hype it got.

Man I didn't watch the netflix series yet but I hope they kinda changed that air nomads don't have an army. I just can't believe there's such a thing as a country without a military. They could be nation or semi-state w/o army though eg Uyghur, Palestine/Gaza/West Bank, hong kong, macau, etc but no actual army for an actual state/s? Come on.

@@nicbentulan They wrote the air nomads in the original series to be separated from the rest of the world to be free. They never had a formal military/army because they weren’t offensive people. They played defense as a people.

@@tankdogization afaik, de jure an army is for defense not offense. 1 - vs other countries/states as of late every country/state declaring war always considers themselves doing it as defense. eg when US/UK invaded iraq, when russia invaded ukraine, when israel invaded gaza, etc. it's not like before when oh idk spain invades the philippines to conquer the land or when the whites came to the americas or new south wales. of course people have their views saying iraq/ukraine/gaza is an aggressive war (and i think only 2 of those 3 should be considered as such) but if you ask US/UK, russia & israel they'll say 'we're defending ourselves.' no one's going to outright come out and say 'yeah we're invading for aggression.' it's the same w/ the fire nation. when the fire nation attacked the air nomads they claimed defense. i don't think the time period in ATLA was corresponding to like 1400-1699 re the above described events. they seem quite modern especially since TLOK is only less than a century later. what do i misunderstand? they need an army to defend themselves against other nations who believe they are defending themselves against a perceived threat by the air nomads. it's a plot hole. come on. 2 - against criminals. armies can be used as extended police. so no airbender was ever a criminal? lol 3 - in TLOK tenzin had an army. they didn't extend this ridiculous plot hole. why then did tenzin have the 1st ever airbender army? but anyway it's a minor plothole. they could just have armies and then be exterminated like the canaanites.

@@nicbentulan They are literally monks bruh. They are not a nation unlike the rest.

They arent real but this scene equals to illustration of how brutal the murders happening during the real world war. There were some ethnics that actually got extinct by collonialism.

​@@Marina-kl9iv Yeah those natives had militaries so it must be a plot hole air nomads don't have.

I cried too when Gyatso scream

In That ,side but in the Other side ?,Oopss Sorry Brian

@@Marina-kl9iv if you like history the Qing dynasty in China did something similar they were worried of the growing influence it had.. They used the imperial army to attack the Shaolin temple trying to kill all its masters and followers.

I enjoy some of the changes since it makes the story more consistent, less filler.

Agreed. This scene is incredible. Sucks I have to wait till like 2026 or 2027 for a season 3. I really want to see Ozai vs Aang so bad😢

Agreed

air is the most powerfull of all lol the think is they dont kill that is why they are gone

​@@blacky8987Si porque siempre hay viento y esa es la ventaja de los nómadas aires y cuando están sobre las nubes creo que son capaces de sobrevivir. Lo cual los hace más fuerte, el aire es el elemento más poderoso de los 4 elementos.

No it was to guarantee the air nomad is wiped out in one attack and buy them some time to go after the others when the avatar needs to be born and raised again. Also big part of air bender strength came from being so unknown I'll give you that.

Where?

We can clearly see the air Nomads kicking ass here even when these fools are enhanced

@@randomlygeneratedname7171 bruh it is a fact that air normad are the top in this verse

@@meurumtrain4747They are used to their strength. The biggest weakness of Sozin's Comet effect is that it's so infrequent that the Firebenders have no time to get used to the power boost.

Yet other people complaining about the Air Nomads are weak.

Note that Sozin stated that they might have prevailed if it was any other day.

Sadly, that was the whole point. It was intended as a complete and total slaughter of ALL Air Nomads, who despite being pacifists are very hard to kill on account of their abilities.

Uyghur? Gaza? West Bank? Rohingya? Yemen? Kurds? Israelis? Jews? Syrians? Or what? Edit: I don't necessarily think any of the above are genocide. But each are thought of as genocide by others.

5 they didn't do anything wrong

I'm just waiting for fans to do a order 66 theme mix up with this.

​@@TimberlakeTigerGirlFancy Turkey already made an edit where there are stormtroopers adding up to yhe siege

That’s what this scene felt like, order 66

It happen in real life as well.

@@skywalker2676 Sozin marching in with his troops and killing Gyatso before slaughtering the air bending children is very reminiscent of how Anakin marched in with the 501st, killed Jedi master Minas Velti, before turning on the Jedi younglings.

I love hot Sozin was really trying to push back gyatso like even with the power Sozin was not having an easy time beating gyatso. That just shows how strong they really were

@@Cosmic_cosmentionI prefer the cartoon version where he wipes out 20 fire benders all at once.

You can hear Sozin struggling to defeat Gyatso

“But not when we have the power of the comet!”

literally too lol

Fire Lord Sozin "Much obliged"😈🙏🏾🔥

(Buh boom ksssssh) 🥁

Too bad the show creators left the project because they don't like the script written by ChatGPT😅😅😅

full of plotholes tho, like why doesnt appa just break through the clouds

I like to disagree. We never truly know. Avatar state is just that strong. He can’t control it but when it manifests emotionally it will destroy his enemies. He’s also at the airbending temple so a previous air bender might’ve been able to manifest we don’t know. But plot wise, the fact that he got away is probably proof that he was doomed to die I guess

That would be worse. If he is killed in the Avatar state the reincarnation cycle will end and the Avatar will cease to exist.@@ArthurPrince03

Sokka: You say you went down in a storm? Aang: It came upon suddenly. The weather went crazy just after I left home. The Southern Air Temple. Where the Air Nomads live. Well, not all the Air Nomads, but most of them had just arrived for the Great Comet Festival. Kanna: The Great Comet Festival. Katara: Gran Gran? Kanna: Water, earth, fire, air. Long ago, the Four Nations lived together in harmony. Then everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, could stop them. But when the world needed him most, he vanished. And so the Fire Nation marched and laid waste, plunging us into a time of darkness. Everyone in the village knows this story, but you don’t, do you, young man? Just as you don’t know that Airbenders haven’t been seen in generations and that the Southern Air Temple was the first to fall, because you’ve been trapped in that ice this whole time. The last time that the Great Comet was seen in the sky was 100 years ago. He may seem like just a boy, but he’s much more. He is the last Airbender.

Literally cooked!

@@commando414 hell yeah, as an OG fan, i approved this series.

@@difaabdulrafi1303 I second emotion!!!

​@@royall2853I 3rd that notion 😊

Unfortunately, it was all in vain. They all inevitably died too.

No S01E01 Zuko didn't hit an iceberg this time but in the series iirc they did? Idk hehehe

Ya but very sad. It reminds of the brutality of the real world war.

Best way to start a live action adaptation of the cartoon.

It's great, the only thing I wish they would've done was have Gyatso defeat more firebenders before he had to go. In the original series it was basically implied that he was a one man army in that room before finally being defeated.

Greed

Fire Lord Sozin is a Hero! 🔥🔥🔥

​@@primaitalia753seriously 🙄

@@EjikeJanefrances Yes 🔥🔥🔥

On this clip the Sozin comet isn't mentioned. So they do said it's because of it that the fire benders are attacking?

Nevermind, haven't finished the video They do spoke about the comet

Yeah, if Aang is anything to go by, they have no techniques that allow them to kill since they’re pacifists. These are, for all intents and purposes, just chilling. Imagine if they weren’t pacifists and actually had a formal military?

​@@nash6568that would be Zaheer but even then, he wasn't truly a match for an Air bending master like Tenzin.

@@shehabgamal8640 I haven’t watch LOK but I see your point. I’m guessing it has something to do with how Air Bending comes from a free life and by freeing yourself from things like hatred and war you’re stronger, like how Zuko was able to match Azula once he got to the true roots of Fire Bending.

Good catch since they were dragon hunters before.

​@@quchi7232 Lol no. The dragon hunting part happens waaay after Roku died and the Air nomads were ambushed. They haven't started hunting dragons yet.

omg

That was mainly thanks to Spain’s comet powering up Sozins bending.

It'll be done my lord.

Sozin is the FireLord not a commander.

@@wazer85WOOSH

I'm black and I'm from the USA Atlanta Georgia HI😊🤗I too love this shit out this series and already can't wait for season 2😊

No one cares what race/nationality you are as it’s irrelevant to liking this series.

I'm white and spanish and I had never been as hyped for anything as I was for these series, and it lived up to the expectations.

I like how once they land they just start running as even there they look like fireballs

This should also show that no one should stand in the way of the Fire Nation. They did everything right. 🔥🔥

Just like azula do

When she fall from airship

In OG version

Well yeah the fire bending get boosted by sozin comet The jet flying is not common among the fire benders, even on very skilled one.

​@@andyadinata4191 yeah. Only very skilled firebender can do it without comet boosting power. Azula has demonstrated that at prison escape.

She was probably Grandmaster of either the East or West temples

She's Sister Lio

Doesn't seem like they can do it unless there's a comet to make them stronger

Nah Iroh just glided a bit.

@@ndo533 They can. Azula does it without the comet as well. The comet just improves general Firebending as they basically have an energy source and don't need to fuel the fire themselves. So they have more dexterity and an amplifier.

​@@lapisinfernalis9052I think only really skilled ones can fly with it..

@@youpedia4614i think we should not think too much of them doing Iron Man style flying, because that is very difficult in its own and has a lot of problems. We just don't see more of them in the cartoon. but that doesn't mean it's difficult in that universe. It is probably the case that the soldiers are better trained in fighting and not transportation as I think that flying takes a lot of your energy and exhausts you fast.

I think Azula should be recasted. And add some main traits to characters like aang was more goofy child, soka was overconfident and sexist and Katara was authoritative.

​@@casuallyarguments3577they already mentioned that they removed sexism characteristic of sokka. This is intentional. Plus azula's actress was actually good imo. We haven't seen the book 2 yet. All we know right now is the mental torture of Ozai to azula to plant seed of hatred between Zuko and her sister.

@@casuallyarguments3577some traits of sokka were removed because in todays climate people just take that too seriously and send death threats to actors

The Airless Void, invented by Avatar Yanchan. It dispells air from a targeted area and prevents air from returning for a period of time (fan wiki)

FIRE IS POWER

For the Firenation 火🔥🔥🔥

Damn right it is☺️🍿🍷🔥

Imagine if the Airbenders weren't all about peace and had a similar mindset to both Yangchen and Zaheer; both whom used lethal force to defeat enemies. It would be the Fire Nation begging for mercy.

@@TimberlakeTigerGirl Exactly. Air benders intentionally nerfing themselves because they are too OP.

@@kaister901 They really should of gone for lethal force when this happened. After all, the Fire benders were invading with obvious intent to kill. And even though life is precious, living beings also have the natural right to defend themselves. So if the Airbenders killed the firebenders it would justified self defense. Especially in regards to protecting their children who couldn't defend themselves.

@@kaister901 That move is seriously overplayed, it requires that the entire room is not capable of fighting back and likewise needs pretty good concentration; can't really do that when you have fire benders coming from all sides shooting at you with enhanced abilities.

@@luigimussolini5966 Maybe you have forgotten. In the original series, even Gyatsu takes out a bunch of fire benders at the place he died. Later on it was confirmed he sucked out the air from the place, killing everyone and himself. I doubt all those firebenders in the original were any weaker. On top of that, Zaheer is no normal air bender. So, it will be a piece of cake for him. Zaheer went toe to toe against Korra in her avatar state. Korra needed the help of other benders to take down Zaheer. A bunch of normal fire benders is no match for Zaheer.

Just like that Order 66 flashback in Obi Wan Kenobi, yes?

@@paolotorres8537 Yup

Also Harkonnen/Sardaukar troops combined against House Atreides on Arakeen Palace

turned to bbq

They probably added that because the original series had some inspiration from Star Wars (most notably the season 2 pre finale) and Aang did die at age 66

Yeah. And I hope they extend the episodes next time. This season is great as is. But we need more backstory. Backstories really needs more than eight episodes 😊🤞🏾

@@I-speak-U-shut-it absolutely cause I feel like kyoshi’s backstory would be epic

FIRE AND BLOOD

170 years but yeah it’s saddening We heard about the air bender genocide But to see on screen hits different..it’s a real tragedy

I agree. This whole season feels cinematic. Should've given us an option to choose the aspect ratio to enjoy it as a movie🍿🍷🔥☺️

It was explained on this episode that both temples are gathering at the same temple for Comet festival. The fire nation knew and attacked and unalived all of them.

Mnemosyne

It didn’t matter because… Sozin’s comet. 😭

That's a dark form of airbending, they wouldn't use that and if they knew it they'd use it in secret, they believed all life is sacred

​@@abbyschoolcraft5837THIS☺️☝🏾

Even pacifist monks can study self-defense

@@ninetales9986 those look more like offense techniques with the intent to kill

Hence why the fire nation even needed the comet to win their ambush and most of moves would have likely not even kill the fire nation soldiers just knock them out hard compared to what an air nomad who was merciless like yangchen or zaheer might do

Same☺️🍷🔥🤞🏾

Live action makes it more real, impactful. Cartoons are meant for children.

@@wazer85Cartoons are made for the target audience and so is live action

Which why they said on any other night the fire nation would have failed but it when there was the comet which kinda shows just how strong the air nomads were despite being pacifist

Or they can just go hiding somewhere else
