I’m in Lake Tahoe right now
As cool as the story of Won was, the fire users were stupid to chase Won when they could've just chased him as yards and taken the animal for dinner.
Hi I love your videos 😁💙
A lot of people think that the fact that the lion turtles are the ones that gave the benders the ability to control the elements ruins the lore, but I think it actually fixes a plothole. The turtles gave people the ability to control the elements, but the "original" benders (the moon, the badgermoles, the dragons and the sky bison) still taught people how to *actually* bend and use the elements as an extension of their body. Then the story just passed on from generation to generation and eventually the story of the lion turtles was lost to time. I just thought that if the original benders were able to teach the nonbenders how to bend, no one would be a nonbender since everyone could learn how to bend.
Yeah. It's just like the lion turtles gave them all writing materials, but the moon, badgermoles, dragons, and sky bisons taught them how to write.
Lion turtles = elements/stuffs/raw materials/resources/tools/things/objects/equipments/mediums or media/ingredients
Moon, Badgermoles, Sky Bisons, Dragons = bending/bending arts/ bending styles/bending disciplines/art/discipline/manner/style/way/technique/craft/process/method/procedure/movements or motion/form or shape/steps
Right? My best analogy for that is this: the lion turtles gave you a sword (the power of fire/air/water/earth), but that doesn't mean you're a swordsman (bender). Heck, even Wan's lion turtle called it "the power of fire" not "the power to BEND fire".
To actually become a swordsman, you need someone to teach you how to wield a sword. And in bending, there are no better teachers than the orignal benders, who not only have the ability to control the elements but that it is actually a part of themselves. It's like being taught to by someone who was born with swords for arms, for them the sword is not only a weapon but an exstention of themselves.
I originally was angry at Korra for that same reason, assuming it retconned the existing lore. But after thinking about it I came to that same conclusion and I adore the show a lot for finally letting us see how humans got the ability to bend in the first place. It also explains the Lion Turtle's quote to Aang a bit more. They didn't have elemental bending unless it was given via lion turtle through an energy-bending technique.
YES! I think this all the time
People from 10,000 years ago: "You can't steal from The Lion Turtle."
Wan: *"Really? Because I just did."* 😎
Fun fact: "Wan" means ten thousand in Chinese. Just like "wan Shi tong" who he knows ten thousand things.
Dude I see you on every avatar related video
It also sounds like one as he is the first avatet
Hello!
Ten thousand years ago
Wan =ten thousand
Who he knows ten thousand things lol I know it's just a typo but that made me giggle 😝
The avatar cycle is based on the order Wan got each element. Fire, air, water, earth.
Cool
Really, I didn't know that. That's actualy really cool.
Not anymore it's not
@@Frandahab wdym
@@izaakgonzalez7247 I dunno if I can say it cuz they haven't finished this season yet.
"Who are these people"
Fire Sages from ATLA: "Forgot about us already?"
The whole time I'm screaming "FIRE SAGES!" In Avatar the last airbender, there was a whole episode dedicated to the fire sages, Roku, & Crescent Island.
They're not Fire Sages. They're Bhanti Tribals.
@@vetarlittorf1807 My mistake. You're 100 percent right. The Fire Sages originated from the Bhanti. So this their beginning as well in this episode.
@@chrisbergsten1429 it's a shame because the other bending elements have multiple subsets. Fire only has lightning. Maybe using fire in this way is similar to what healing is for water?
Or 'am ı joke to you?'
Anyways, petition for Kenny and Montana to do a NukTuk and Ginger cosplay.
YESSSSSSSSSSS
👍
The things I would do to see this cosplay
I just want Kenny to be shirtless.
@@ronnymeow821 same
He wasen't the strongest, wisest or smartest. He was Wan, the first. All avatars are his reincarnations.
that's what makes him great for me, he was an average person in a first place, neither chosen one nor special, he became a legend because of his actions, views, because of his intolerance for evil and suffering
and what i especially like about wan
his decisions are not framed as the eternal truth in the show because he was a person just like others with a right to make mistakes
The loss of this ideology that the Avatar became legendary through action rather than birthright is arguably what leads Avatars like Aang and Korra to believe they have these giant weights on their shoulders and being average is somehow a failure on their part. When in reality, it's the Avatar in its truest form.
@@kurhanchyk just like how tenzin said, "he became a legend because of who he was, not what he was"
@@Badgermoles4444 but that’s normal for any kid to feel that way especially when you have big dreams you kind of have to carry high expectations and burdens and given the way the story was formed for korra and aang they really didn’t have a choice
But their not the same
I just realised.. when the chu guy said "even when you have the power you're afraid to use it" it's a nod to when Ozai told Aang "Even with all the power in the world you're still weak"
getting dogged since day 1 😂
The spirits' perception of humans makes sense when you consider that the only interaction they ever had with them was when they were hunting
Fun Fact: Wan is voiced by *Steven Yuen,* who also did one of the characters from The Walking Dead and *Keith* from *Voltron: Legendary Defender.*
When I first heard his voice and heard Glenn I almost cried. My favorite!
Keith👌
You comment a ton.
me, first watching this episode: KEITH ????
@@moonscoot_ For me it was the other way around.
I saw Avatar first, then when I saw Voltron, as soon as I heard Keith say "Shiro", I immediately said *"Wan is that you?"*
Animation being "of the time" is a theme throughout Avatar. There's the obvious change from ATLA to the LoK. But then even in ATLA they use 3D animation for machines like tanks and airships which make them really stand out as if to point out that from the perspective of the characters- this is new, alien technology
"Why didn't she say that?"
"She was in the middle of a *fight*"
...you two are fun
Wan: "My name is Wan, and I will show you how I became The First Avatar."
*Literally everyone:* 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
He was avatar "one"
@HEAT YEET, I swear to god-
Beginnings 1&2 are my favorite episodes across both shows
Sameeeee I lowkey think they should of made a whole book/season about wan
For clarification, lion turles give the ability to use the elements. Not how to bend them properly/extension of oneself/in certain styles. Also the spirits aren't bad or good. Theres light and dark in them all; as stated by Unalaq. Some have learned and become accustomed to a certain negative view of humans. As from ATLA with Wan Shi Tong and Koh.
@@SubzeroBlack68 Lawful neutral i see.
Wan's story is easily one of the best origin stories ever made in TV history
What about Eren Kruger from Attack on Titan
The cool thing is it's not just an origin of a character. It's an origin of an entire main plot thread, and they NAILED IT.
Misconception, you can’t bend in the spirit world bc usually you just meditate into it instead of physically being there
The fact that the pool they put Wan which has "special healing properties" is the same pool ocean and moon spirits swim (also the water that saved Aang) in ATLA is what makes this show wholesome :)
I like to interprete Raava and Vatuu like Raava being the force of balance, and Vatuu being the force if imbalance aka chaos. There is no good or evil at play here. For the last 10,000 years Raava kept chaos under control and the world was in balance.
As Unulaq once said, there are no evil spirits, but there are spirist who are imbalanced, and when they're imbalanced, darkness tends to take over.
Hope this helps and clears some things.
No, you’re 100% right. When Vaatu creates dark spirits, he’s enhancing their negative emotions. That doesn’t make them evil, though. For instance, Wan’s spirit friends become dark spirits because they are trying to protect the forest from being burned to the ground. That is not evil intentions. However, it creates chaos, which fuels Vaatu’s power. We can even see this in the first show, where the panda spirit becomes a dark spirit because (yet again) the Fire Nation burned its forest to the ground. It is not evil when it’s a dark spirit. It is hurt and lashing out because its home had been ruthlessly destroyed by humans. That is Vaatu’s influence. As you said, Vaatu is not the spirit of evil but rather chaos and darkness.
Huh. My understanding was that Raava was order and Vaatu was chaos. But it’s also possible that I just liked that theory because I built headcannons based on it that required both Raava and Vaatu to come together in order to achieve balance. As far as “good guys vs bad guys” goes, balance vs imbalance would work better considering that’s the entire theme of the show(s).
There's still some confusion about how people got te bendings, but is just that simple: The Lion Turtle gave the people the power of the elements and as we can see people have no technique while using it, people learn the techniques with the original benders : The dragon, sky bison, badgermooles...
And this knowledge was forgotten through time just as the knowledge of Raava herself.
So the Avatar State can be interpreted as Raava being the bridge between the present avatar with their past lives.
Yeah. It's just like the lion turtles gave them all writing materials, but the moon, badgermoles, dragons, and sky bisons taught them how to write.
Lion turtles = elements/stuffs/raw materials/resources/tools/things/objects/equipments/mediums or media/ingredients
Moon, Badgermoles, Sky Bisons, Dragons = bending/bending arts/ bending styles/bending disciplines/art/discipline/manner/style/way/technique/craft/process/method/procedure/movements or motion/form or shape/steps
Yeah, over time Raava became solely known as “the avatar spirit” and the Lion turtles vanished. Even when Aang saw that picture of a Lion turtle in the library episode, he had no idea that they can give/ take away bending through energy bending.
@@marlongreen6448 Omg yeah
Btw are Lion turtles immortal?
Just a note: “Aye-Aye” is the lemur spirit, yes, and he’s named that because that’s the animal he’s based on! It’s a (very weird lol) species of lemur, they’re great. It’s also pronounced like “eye eye” :)
The animation on this episode is straight up ART!!
I don't know if you've noticed but every Avatar has life long freidnship companion, roku/dragon, aang/apa, korra/Naga, for Wan it was the cat-dear! That is how it all began!
Aww!
aww,the first Avatar is a cat person❤️
Y’all don’t know how happy it makes me to see a notification from you guys!! Love ur reactions!!❤️
Thanks so much!
@@LettsReact Ofc!! No problem!!
@LettsReact Bhanti island she's the shaman and they are bhanti sages check out avatar wiki
The Animation style looks like a book/comic, like "telling an history" through those pages lol
Let’s go best episode of season 2
They are going to love wan
Alright but to be fair, Nickelodeon forced them to switch animation studios halfway through this season, and it was a complete logistical mess because the people working on it kept getting jerked around.
I also think getting rid of the CW style relationship drama and spirit kaiju at the end of the season would've improved the quality of the season but although my least favorite I still love it though
shout out to Stephen Yeun for doin Wan justice 🙌🔥🍻
I really love the detail how not once do they use the term “bending”. They always called it “the power of the element”. And then later on Wan learns to use fire as an extension of his body from a dragon, ergo what bending truly is.
Also pretty much explains why non-benders cant just simply learn from badgermoles etc and acquire the abilities.
"It has special healing properties."
OK WAIT. I've seen this episode so many times, BUT IS THAT THE SAME POND THAT THE YIN YANG FISH WERE FROM IN ATLA BOOK 1?!
Fun fact: Wan is voiced by Steve Yeun, one of the actors from the walking dead
Thanks for the fun fact😊🥰👍💯
Omg I loooooove this piece of information
Each of the elements have their own connection to spirit or energy bending.. air is very spiritual to begin with, fire can sense the chi and energy, don’t know earth’s connection, and water can alter the spirits energy, that’s why they can calm the spirits and heal people easily
"Oh yeah, it's all coming together"
When the chu said “even when you have the power you’re too afraid to use it,” is a reference to Avatar, when Ozai says to Aang, “even with all the power in the world you are still weak.”
Also to korra and zaheer
"You have all the power in the world and have the freedom to use it, but you choose to hold your self down."
These are my 2 favorite episodes in all of Korra. I think with Korra knowing about Raava, future Avatars in the cycle will have stronger spiritual connections
Korra makes a distinction that The element and Bending are not the same thing. The turtles give the power to wield the element but the martial art of bending is something that is taught by the oringial benders. The dragons, moon, badger moles and sky bison
If i remember correctly, this episode is the return of the Studio Mir to the series. Raava bless their amazingly beautiful work
And about the "bendings in the spirit world" most people go there by meditating so their bodies stays in the human world and thats why they cant use bending. But if you go physically to the spirit world you can use bendings
Raava and Vaatu aren't the typical good and evil, but more order and chaos. Both are needed sometimes, through chaos comes innovation while order can keep things the same for a very long time.
Underrated comment - i just wish they would've made that more clear in the season. In the end they painted it very black/white , evil vs. good - when darkness/chaos is just the other side of the same coin, not necessarily morally evil.
SPOILER:
in a way you're even right with this season as the newest conflict with Vaatu being Chaos incarnate, brought innovation with the portals being open again, plus the happenings in season 3.
Ahh I’ve been waiting for this one.... Turn it up!!!
Not sure if anyones said it yet but that spirit oasis is the same water that Katara received from her Waterbending Grandad master known as the Spirit Oasis (she used it to revive Aang at the end of season 2)
I don't think it's the same because this was 10,000 years ago and didn't look like the north pole
Fun fact the person who voices Wan played Glenn in the walking dead
The excitement is SO REAL. I have been waiting for you to react to the origin of the Avatar since you started Korra - can’t wait to see this!
1:21 Fun Fact: that was Serena Williams’ voice! She also voiced Ming in Book 3 of ATLA but she came back to lend her voice in LOK.
I dont know if it's true but i always thought about the "oasis" as the watet oasis that we saw at the north pole in season one of ATLA, they both had special healing properties
Its not, they're not at the north pole.
Pretty sure it is
@@nicolaicelestain2304 it isn't, they are not at either of the poles. Look it up and you'll see it's a different oasis.
The Wan and only!!!
(I wonder how many times this joke has been and will be repeated...)
Here we go for the highlight of Book 2
Besides Varrick.
And Iroh🥰
@@tariqthomas9090 ayo bro stfu
What about Zhu Li
She isn’t really relevant until Book 4
Hey Indonesian here, enjoying your reactions! So ATLA and LOK have had Indonesian cultural things here and there but it is especially hefty in this specific episode. The music you hear right from purple Korra meet the other one is Javanese gamelan, the first avatar's first animal companion called 'mula', which means 'beginning' in Indonesian language, and his former best friend's Jaya in Indonesian/Sanskrit means 'glory', the 2 portals look like Kelimutu Lake, also the Airbender tribe's homes look like Papuan huts. Feel a bit teary-eyed seeing and hearing those things...
that's really beautiful ❤️
Fun fact, one of the fire sages is actually voiced by Serena Williams (she only has one line but whatever)
There are some Ghibli callbacks on this episode! The bridge to the oasis is a reference to the bridge to the bath house in Spirited Away, guarded by a spirit who saw through the girl's disguise because he smelled a human. Also Wan's animal companion, is a reference to Ashitaka's red elk in Princess Mononoke! They look VERY similar and his elk is also his loyal companion through his banishment and adventure with the forest spirits.
Yes!!! One of the best episodes in the series!
My headcanon is that the second Avatar was called Tu
The lion-turtles gave them the ability and means to bend but the dragons, sky bison, badgermoles, and moon and ocean spirits taught the benders the actual art and skill of bending. It’s like giving someone a weapon and then have someone else teach them how to use that weapon.
Yup, I wonder why others don"t undertsand this very simple explanation
@@desolation1322 I know right? The show even explains this when you see Wan learning from the dragon.
Ok so I just realized this, I could be wrong but the woman in the beginning who said we found the avatar washed up on the shore, sounds exactly like the guard uncle iroh told to go home that she doesn’t want to be here before he broke out of his cell
The four elements are based on the 4 seasons
Winter: water
Earth: spring
Summer:fire
Autumn:air
I was confused as heck for a couple of seconds because I saw spring and I was like, "There's no element that's called spring."
@@ToonMageChannel no that's the season for earth
@@roderickluke9782 Yeah, I just realized. I just followed the pattern of the other three and the 2nd one is the only one that doesn't follow it so I was confused for a couple of seconds.
FYI, Aye-aye is pronounced i i, as in “Are you ready kids?! Aye-aye, captain!”
Aye-aye is a species of lemur irl.
I hate to say it but I think Kenny misspelled beginnings
Bruh 😂
FIXED!
@@LettsReact sorry, just wanted to point it out. Love y’all.
You missed the thumbnail spelling
Fun fact: The cat deer that Wan saved was said to be the first of the reincarnated creature companions of the avatars. Like Roku's Dragon, Aang's Appa, and Korra's Naga.
this episode is like a Studio Ghibli reference parade. Like him riding the cat deer is a clear nod to Yakul from Princess Mononoke
Love Beginnings pt 1&2 because the art style is reminiscent of ink wash paintings or some of the paintings from Hokusai like “The Great Wave off Kanagawa”
29:00 Fair, but the thing with Aye Aye is like...
When he said that, it _did_ occur to me that he/everyone only sees them when they've come to _take_ something, or kill something like Mula
Like living on a property with loose borders, and this stray cat/deer likes to wander around, you see it sometimes, and then you see it in a trap. Maybe you arent there when it happens, maybe you're there to see the "thoughtless" looks of relief and _hunger_ as you either try to stop a group or they drag it away as it struggles and whimpers....
And then it happens regularly.
The people at the beginning are fire sages, like the ones at Roku's temple in the first season of ATLA. Love these origin episodes!
Can't believe I never thought about the parallelism between Wan breaking apart Raava and Vaatu, and how he broke the societal norm of living out in the spirit wilds. With Vaatu becoming free, and more humans leaving to live outside of the lion cities, both creating chaos out of a world that was so ordered. While it isn't inherently a bad thing, humans trying to coexist with spirits, when things get pushed too far things can go way out of wack. Even between chaos and order, a balance must be struck. Love this show.
Also, let's appreciate that the legend Travis Willingham, is the voice of the big huntsman! I was so shook
Laura bailey’s husband 😄
@@jalenwilliams7067 yessssss. Have I found another critter? 👁👁
The oasis before the snow and everything at 18:20. I also notice the fire nation in the beginning its kind of funny I am just now realizing this on my second watch with them.
I have to say I love the editing😂 how do you even remember these clips? I love the channel!
The animation is truly a good replication of ancient chinese watercolors. I have a some at home and the studio really did it justice!
The random clips you put in kill me 😂
yeah makes it really cringe to watch, besides the guy sometimes react like a girl...
These are easily some of the greatest episodes in lok
True, its one of my fav episodes
The worst episodes. Nothing but shitting on the original series.
I’m so glad that you guys decided to watch this amazing episode this time around. It just so happens that today is my 30th Birthday of all days, so this is an awesome gift! Thank you guys!😄
Happy Birthday!
@@laura_gieger Thanks! 🙂
I like the detail that the guy made of wood is afraid of fire.
Yeah
me, a guy made of meat: **also afraid of fire**
Kenny: “What are these outfits? Who are these people?”
Me: “Did you just completely forget the Fire Sages?”
Don't know of anyone has commented this yet but that oasis is the one from season 1 of atla in the northern water tribe where the ocean and moon spirit lived (special healing waters)
It is?! That’s so cool
That's not what happened with the animation studios btw. Studio Pierrot did the first 6 episodes of Book 2. They buckled under the pressure and pulled out (the level of animation in LoK Konietzko and Di Martino wanted in comparison to the budget was actually very unsustainable - they were animating to the level of an animated feature film, every episode, with a TV budget). So the team went back to Studio Mir - who previously quit because their animators were pulling too many all-nighters - and Studio Mir decided they'd take it up again because "it's their show". It's the legacy of ATLA, which was what catapulted Studio Mir to success in the first place. Together Studio Mir and the Konietzko/Di Martino team laid down some new rules and change of arrangements to reduce the load on animators. Further changes were made in later seasons to progressively lessen the toll on animators. Even then they were still pulling all-nighters, but they could tolerate it and know it had an end date.
And pretty much everyone involved agreed after Korra that they won't try to do something like this again.
I just realized that Wan’s spirit animal or companion is a deer like for Aang is Appa, a flying bason and for Korra, Naga, a polar dog.
This is wan of the best episodes in lok
Ha
Sokka joke alert
@@moneylover318 best compliment I can get
@@YoungAnkh I think it's better the call them sokka jokes than dad jokes
Fun fact: Aye Aye's design is based on an actual lemur called an aye aye. It's so freaking cute!
As an artist, the first 6 episodes of Book 2 (and Episode 9) for me initially was soooo bad. Although I give the studio credit for being available until Studio Mir was able to come back. Studio Mir did all of Book 1, Episodes 7-8, 10-14 of Book 2 and all of Books 3 and 4. They also did Voltron: Legendary Defender, another great series you guys should check out....and this was the first voice work of actor Steven Yeun, best known as Glenn from The Walking Dead. Since then he has played Keith on VLD and most recently Mark Grayson on Invincible.
This and the next episode are two of the best ones in the whole Korra series, in my opinion. :D
The Oasis scene was inspired by Ghiblie's "Spirited away"
I forgot how beautiful this episode was.
Noooo, you need to crack part 1 and 2 out together in one go! I'm sadly excited for you two seeing this, it's such an epic throwback! They initially intended to use this in the original last airbender series but couldn't fit it in - enjoy!
In this episode Studios Mir cameback to animate the series again, that's why the animation is top notch
think bout the kind of bender katara was before she had training vs what she became after, rather than modernized bending of republic city. it still requires skills to bend like probenders, its just a different kind of form.
there's having the ability to control that element(gained through birth or lion-turtle) and ability to properly use that element(training). anyone can have a scalpel, not everyone is a surgeon.
The firebenders who helped Korra were Fire Sages. Like the one from Avatar Roku's Temple.
I feel like the best part of season two was introducing wan even if it was for two episodes
This and the next are possibly my favorite episodes of the entire ATLA/LOK series'
I liked these episodes a LOT on first viewing years back, but quite honestly I don’t think they’ve aged well, much like the rest of the season. Stylistically and tonally they’re very much a breath of fresh air there.
I loved the Aladdin Vibes from Wan's days.
16:36 FYI That is not only Appa, but also naga
I really like they kind of used water color for the background
16:06
"I believe it's on the island of noneya... noneyabusiness!"
One thing that always bugged me was how Wan pretty much led that group of hunters to their deaths. I get that he was protecting the cat deer; but those guys didn’t even know they were doing anything wrong and were just trying to feed the guys back in the lion turtle village.
i can see that but those guys seem pretty violent and they don't like Wan at all so what's to say they wouldn't just kill him for interrupting their hunt or stealing from the turtle or lying to them or leading a rebel attack, anything really. Seems like Wan thought the same and went on the offensive. gotta survive in the wilds.
@@BhBc8f8 That seems like too many assumptions to just decide to murder someone. When they saw him pretending to be cowardly earlier they didn’t decide to kill him, they told him to go back to the village. Rather than choosing the peaceful option (which he’d later try to do in a much more difficult situation) he just opted for killing or injuring most of them in heinous ways.
@@raunjisto2925 "they told him to go back to the village"
...and then they found out later that it was all part of his grand plan. Wan had manipulated and deceived them. People have killed for less, just sayin. And it's not really an assumption. Any sane person would’ve done the same if they truly believed their life was in danger. It would be the same as if 4 guys approached you for a lighter in a dark alley. You should either run or find a weapon and prepare yourself. Best case scenario, it was a misunderstanding and they back off, worse case, you don't make it home that night. If Wan really believed their lives were in danger then i personally don't see a problem. It says a lot more about them that they neglected their food and pursed him instead. Doesn't seem peaceful to me.
@@BhBc8f8 Well at that point I don’t blame them for pursuing. They had been in the wilds for whoever knows how long and were definitely hungry like Wan had been previously. Then they see the same guy that betrayed them earlier telling they can’t eat without even offering them an explanation as to why. Honestly the more I think about it, Wan really comes off as the bad guy in this scenario. He denies them food with no explanation and then tries killing them. From their perspective I can honestly see why they’d go after them. They’d probably think that guy would just keep getting in their way of them trying to live.
@@raunjisto2925 Not really much else to say except I disagree. It’s a dangerous world out there, if someone finds a medical kit first and claims it then back the hell off, don’t be stupid, It’s not worth it - Learned that one from the walking dead lol.
Normally you can't bend in the spiritworld, that's because your body stays in the regular world. If your body is in the spiritworld as well, you can bend
The part of taking over remind me of Zuko, food to the animals to Aang and skilled at fighting fire Korra
There is a difference between having the power of an element and being a bender. If you are born with an element you are not immediately a bender. You need to be trained. That is why the guy said he used fire like an extention of himself. So Wan became the first bender by learning from the dragon. This is also why Kitara said she wasn't a bender yet when Aang called he a water bender in the beginning of season one of ATLAB.
It also makes some kind of mythological sense why fire was the first. Because of fire humanity was able to adapt and take over nature. Also many myths around the world have a story about humans or a God stealing fire and giving it to humanity.
@MansaMusa You actually prove my point though.
Just to clarify: if you meditate into the spirit world then you can't bend because only your spirit traveled there, but if you go into the spirit world through the portal like Unalaq did in earlier episodes, THEN you can bend in the spirit world because your body AND your spirit traveled there.
Fire sages, the priests from the fire nation. The same guys from rokus island and the ones that crowned zuko as fire lord
