Aang is such a goofy character so when you actually get to see him do some really powerful stuff it’s so cool. Katara having that realisation at the end was magic
You forget sometimes because we're so focused on him having to master 3 other elements, but the end here drives it home: Aang truly has *mastered* Airbending at his young age. Being a master and acquiring his tattoos at that age makes him an obvious child prodigy.
This has one of my favorite exchanges in the show when that guy asks Sokka, “can your science explain why it rains?” And Sokka screams at him “YES! YES IT CAN!!”. I love my boy Sokka.
Fun fact: firebending is adapted from Northern Shaolin Style Kung Fu. Earthbending is adapted from Hung Gar, Waterbending from Tai Chi, and Airbending from Baguazhang. you can see them doing actual martial art moves. I love the fight scenes so much. so much attention to detail and pays homage to Chinese martial arts and culture
One of my favorite moments is that moment at the end when Aang stands like a boss and katara realizes the possibility that Aang is probably the one for her
@@nanie56 bro definitely just saw some stuff about “Zutara” On the Internet, and either thinks he’s predicting something or just saying it to get people mad lol
I mean Aunt Wu was technically correct lol. She didn’t predict the volcano would erupt, but she predicted that the village **would not** be destroyed by the volcano. Which is what happened because Aang saved them lol
The ash from volcanoes can almost be as dangerous as the lava itself. The ash is similar to the black snow that rained down on the Water Tribe village when the Fire Nation arrived. Wind can carry ash from volcanoes thousands of miles.
Regarding the red shoes example, well, that’s kind of how magic works. If all the man knows about the thing he wants to come true is that he’ll be wearing red shoes when it DOES, then he’s going to wear red shoes every day. Action -> attraction. If he never wears red shoes, then it will never come true.
My favorite thing about this reaction series is that Zuff is a Zutara shipper. When you guys announced you were doing this show, that was NOT one of my predictions but I’m obsessed with it, it brings me joy
There are four main methods of fortune telling that are practiced in China: face reading, palm reading, Kau Cim and Zi Wei Dou Shu. Fortune telling by 'throwing the bones' originated in Africa. Palm reading involves foretelling one's future through the study of the lines, shapes, wrinkles and curves on the palm.
zuff being a zutara shipper was not on my bingo card but im here for it 💀 idk why the fandom is so touchy about it tho, aang and katara just dont have the chemistry needed for me to ship them heavily lol i do support it tho but only because i just love aang and katara not because i think they should be together 🤷🏽♀️
@@nanie56 yeah. Like he is one of the better benders, but considering all the resources he had at such an early age to train and all the benders we later see, he is lowkey mid. Still super talented tho.
I know y’all are not gonna see this comment but could you please watch One & Two? It’s a really good movie with Timothee Chalamet and no one really talks about it. I recommend 10/10
I love that y'all ship Zutara lmao, I love Aang but I always thought he felt too child-like & pre-pubescent for Katara, who's technically almost grown/of age to marry. the chemistry between Katara & Zuko, if done right, would have been ASTRONOMICAL. like, world changing. I have spent *half my life* thinking about how things might have been lol
I understand that but that is exactly why I personally always felt Aang and Katara belong together. They are the reincarnation of what the other lost. I will also mention that I could never see katara living in a nation that killed her mother and tortured her people which she would have to with Zuko. I feel that they bring out the negative aspects of each other. This is just my opinion and why how even though I get where you feel that I cannot personally be sold completely on Zutara
@@jasminedragon7360 yeah, katara was never that interested in politics. She helped politicians but wasn’t like sokka who wanted to actually lead and she seems to really like a life of adventure flying around, experiencing new things and helping people along the way. katara is actually quite adventurous and aang really encourages/supports that part of her which is great because after all that she’s been through i feel like sometimes people adultify katara too much but she is a kid too.
@@nanie56 exactly. I believe Katara and Azula are close in age so that’s why I always felt Zuko treated her like Azula and then grew to care for her like the sister he could have had in Azula. I get it if not everyone feels that’s correct that’s just me. I also think Azula killing Aang really stopped her from expressing her love for him because she realized how just like her mother she could lose him.
@@jasminedragon7360I agree and there’s a video somewhere on RUclips about katara being azula’s foil in the story so your definitely not alone, I think that was one of the points in the video. Azula killing aang definitely made katara more uncertain about approaching her feelings I mean the war/ firenation caused her to loose her mom, dad and part of her childhood then the avatar her literal hope for the world and best friend who she starts to develops feelings for is shot down in front of her it makes sense she would wait until she felt safe. Also she never verbalizes romantic feelings for anyone in the show, even jet, katara shows her feelings through body language, facial expressions and a hat that funnily enough aang ends up wearing the whole time.
Ok my boy you been cool and all and i have had your back but ur crossing the line with zuko n katara ... be careful my boy lol ... aang and katara gang forever water tribe❤❤❤
@@ryomahoffman6803 theres nothing wrong with him bruh ... wtf you mean ? Hes the funniest dude out of the trio .. he just says whatever is on his mind at that moment dnt take it seriously

“Can your science explains why it rains?”
“YES. YES IT CAN!”
Probably my favorite dialogue in the series
Aang is such a goofy character so when you actually get to see him do some really powerful stuff it’s so cool. Katara having that realisation at the end was magic
@@narakabladepointgroupie what spoilers?
@@hali_55lol you just pointed out what happened in the episode, how is that spoiling anything?
@@nanie56 right?? I was so confused 😭
He's so successful at being fun
Aunt Wu's wording was deliberate:
She did not say he volcano wouldn't erupt.
She said the village wouldn't be destroyed by the volcano
And it wasn't
You forget sometimes because we're so focused on him having to master 3 other elements, but the end here drives it home: Aang truly has *mastered* Airbending at his young age. Being a master and acquiring his tattoos at that age makes him an obvious child prodigy.
Love this episode, the part where Katara realizes Aang is a powerful bender is just 🤌
He’s not just some goofy little kid she met in a ice berg anymore.
Fun fact! Meng share the same voiceover as our queen Toph 🫶🏽
Wow never knew this!
Pretty cool eh! Her name is Jessie Flower and another fun fact, she’s doing her own reaction to the ATLA on her RUclips channel!
they dont know that yet
I was just thinking that and never noticed until today, so cool
This has one of my favorite exchanges in the show when that guy asks Sokka, “can your science explain why it rains?” And Sokka screams at him “YES! YES IT CAN!!”. I love my boy Sokka.
“Floozy” gets me EVERY TIME 🤣🤣
Meng was designed by Dave Filoni who is also a director on Avatar.
Meng is also voiced by Jessie Flower,

mans is head to toe in Jets merch i’m not surprised he fell into the Z*tara trap lolll
I don’t understand because up until this point all zuko and katara have done is fight and even then it’s over aang.
z*tara shipping is NOT allowed in my house 🙅🏻♀️
@@nanie56 bro definitely just saw some stuff about “Zutara” On the Internet, and either thinks he’s predicting something or just saying it to get people mad lol
@@aghostswhisperF zutara, all my homies hate zutara, Kataang for life.
@@aghostswhisperbetter than whatever tf katara and aang r like they’re besties they give babysitter vibes they make no sense to me at all
The man with red shoes was designed after Justin Ridge, who is one of the storyboard artists on Avatar.
awwe rob looks so cute with his red beanie 🥹
The calm man was based on one of the security guards at Nickelodeon.
The fortune telling episode made me to see how powerful aang was
Volcanic activity involving the extrusion of rock tends to form mountains or features like mountains over a period of time.
aang is so badass. casually fighting a volcano.
"Get what" lol my boy kills me lol
Most of the people in the town repay Aunt Wu with food or favors.
Aunt Wu has lived in the town for 20 years.
I mean Aunt Wu was technically correct lol. She didn’t predict the volcano would erupt, but she predicted that the village **would not** be destroyed by the volcano. Which is what happened because Aang saved them lol
The ash from volcanoes can almost be as dangerous as the lava itself.
The ash is similar to the black snow that rained down on the Water Tribe village when the Fire Nation arrived.
Wind can carry ash from volcanoes thousands of miles.

Who knew Zuff would already be a Zutara shipper. Man after my ❤

There are four main methods of fortune telling that are practiced in China: face reading, palm reading, Kau Cim and Zi Wei Dou Shu.

Palm reading involves foretelling one's future through the study of the lines, shapes, wrinkles and curves on the palm.
Strange that I know of two Asian or Asian-inspired works that have used the bone method, the other being Ōkami.
guys i think im Meng for Rob. 😂
where did the zuko/katara thing came from??? hahah
The characters in this episode were designed by Angela Mueller.
i can’t wait for u guys to get to season 3. i wish i could watch this for the first time again
thank you for another episode guys , off topic but i hope you're gonna react to the legend of korra as well once done with this one xo
is the green guy ok
10:29 aang can just float up a mountain with air bending while sokka has to actually climb. Sokka is quite competent for a guy with no bending ability
Aang is such a bad ass.
zuff being a zutara shipper was not on my bingo card but im here for it 💀 idk why the fandom is so touchy about it tho, aang and katara just dont have the chemistry needed for me to ship them heavily lol i do support it tho but only because i just love aang and katara not because i think they should be together 🤷🏽♀️
Although there are no firebenders in this episode, the threat is still based on fire itself.
Looks like Sam Darnold isn't the only man in Jets gear to see ghosts.
The only good part of this episode is furthering the plot of katara and aang's relationship.
Zuff is always so REAL! I hope Katara and Zuko end up together too
Is it me, or is zuko not a powerful bender
He gets better but never heard anyone describe him as such in the show or fandom.
@@nanie56 yeah. Like he is one of the better benders, but considering all the resources he had at such an early age to train and all the benders we later see, he is lowkey mid. Still super talented tho.
Yeah no, azula is a powerful bender
Compared to the rest of the team, not really. But to the average firebender, yes
He good be he isn’t “a very powerful bender”
Sokka is such a downer
Zutara supremacy! :,)
thank god it never became canon so gross lol
This felt like kinda of a filler episode it was funny seeing ang have a crush tho
Poi and Ping always dress alike. The only difference between them is that only one of them can earthbend.
The Yoruba, a large west African ethnic group, have the highest rate of twinning in the world.
lava bend 👀
Party pooper
I know y’all are not gonna see this comment but could you please watch One & Two? It’s a really good movie with Timothee Chalamet and no one really talks about it. I recommend 10/10
i feel like Zuff doesnt really like the show and is bored most of the time

Can you please tell me what’s wrong with this dude?

Why does Zuff always have to say some shit that annoys the hell out of me?
Then don’t watch ❤
