Long time subscriber here and I dare you both to watch riddly scotts the last duel you have only watched the trailer watch the movie and show your reaction.
35:55 Also this shot of all the nations coming together is pretty bittersweet when you realize that there’s no Air Nomads in the crowd. Aang is really all by himself as the last airbender and the last one of his people.
Also Toph never gets to reunite with her parents. Katara helps her write a letter in the runaway episode but we never get to see what happens after that
@@LA_HA I think it was implied that her parents broke up around the time right after the show ended, then by the time su and lin are grown up and feeding toph mentions making su stay with her grandparents while they sort everything out so it’s somewhat known that she did fix her relations with them.
Zuko vs Azula was a really sad situation, but damn if it isn't the best fight in A:tLA. From the music to the sound design to the animation. Perfection.
That whole fight sequence was awesome but like you said it was a sad situation but a necessary one but Zuko was still right in asking Katara to help him because she came in clutch Frfr 💯
@@Corey313 If we're being honest Katara wouldn't have had to clutch up if she wasn't there in the first place, first mistake was thinking Azula would have an honorable Agni Kai. if she wasn't there Zuko most likely would've been the one to defeat Azula
I’m so glad you guys understood why Aang didn’t kill the fire lord. How it was against his very moral and his teachings. He has to represent an entire culture of the Airbenders that are gone now. To kill someone, it does change you forever. Many see Aang as weak or taking a cop out, but he is strong to me. I’m so glad you guys enjoyed this show. This is truly one of the most magnificent shows of all time!
@@burneraccount2024 "deus ex machima" Christ, you are fucking dumb. Learn what words mean before using them. The Lion Turtles have been teased since early Book One and the creators even said they were written in from the beginning. Cope and seethe.
One of the cool bits is that, if you go back and watch Episode 19, none of the past Avatars actually tell Aang that he _has_ to kill Ozai. Roku tells him that he must be decisive, rather than wavering back & forth. Kyoshi tells him that his actions must bring justice. Kuruk tells him that he must be proactive in making his choice, rather than letting the world make the choice for him. And Yangchen tells him that he must sacrifice his needs for the world's _if_ it is required.
Roku says he wasn't decisive because he chose restraint and mercy instead. Clearly implying it was the wrong choice. Aang wasn't proactive in his choice. The answer, the lion turtle, came to him. You put a lot of emphasis on a word Yang Chen never used. She never said >IF
@@Ultimaniacx4 The show speaks of destiny a lot, and the Lion Turtle is an ancient super powerful being. It was convenient, but I don't think it was luck. The Lion Turtle found him and delivered him to where he needed to be intentionally.
@@Ultimaniacx4 It wasn't luck at all. I think you're missing the point of the Lion Turtle teaching Aang. The Lion Turtle tells Aang to bend someone else's energy their own will has to be unbendable. The other Avatars are willing to compromise their morals. Aang wasn't, and so the Lion Turtle sought him out to teach him the power that could bring balance back without having to kill Ozai.
@@TheSyncos The greatest lesson of destiny the show offers is through Zuko and how you need to create your own destiny. Waiting for a power to come to you isn't very proactive.
Also, in a 2nd part of my first comment. Fun fact: zach, the voice of aang, did all his voice recording at home. He didnt meet anyone else from the cast until he was about 18 years old.
I just realized Tai Lee's growth as well. She had issues about being "part of a matched set" with her sisters. But at the end, she's perfectly happy with being a Kiyoshi warrior, who are pretty much a matched set too when in uniform
35:11 I feel like its not spoken enough on how Ty Lee has gone from being unsettled by being part of a set to being part of a group that is a set. She left home because she couldnt find her individuality within her group of 7 identical twin sisters but now she's part of the Kyoshi Warriors and loving it and able to see herself as her own person despite being in a set of girls I loved this ending for her
I EARTH BENDED MY FACE INTO THE GROUND, AIR BENDED SO QUICKLY TO GET UP, FIRE BENDED THE VIDEO AND WATER BENDED OUTTA MY EYES CUZ YALL FINISHED IT... What a journey ❤
If you're interested, there are comics that take place immediately after the end of the animated series, showing new challenges for the team avatar as a whole.
What’s crazy is he was only like 12-13 and only really started his avatar journey less than a year before hand and he’s so powerful already . Their all hella young too and so powerful, which is one thing I can’t wait to see from them in their adult movie is how strong they are even in their mid 20s , and how strong the villain is to where the whole team (as strong as they are gunna be ) needs to take him on
I’m so glad I got to witness you guys finish this incredible journey. As someone who grew up on this show, even just seeing how this show affected y’all, all the ups and downs, the laughs and tears, everything was amazing coming from your reactions. Avatar: The Last Airbender will go down in history as one of the greatest shows of all time and I’m glad to revisit this series with y’all.🎉
You KNOW the writers did a good job when they create a character that you hate so much that it leaks into the real word to hate the actress. Grey Delisle-Griffin, (Azula's voiceactor) is actually a sweet talented voice actress AND singer. It's like in The Green Mile where the actor that played Percy who sabotaged an electric chair execution was hated so much that he ACTUALLY GOT DEATH THREATS from people because he played the character so well!
That isn't good. People being schizos about ACTORS PLAYING ROLES isn't a good thing the fact this even needs to be said is mind blowing. Everyone is so comfortable being ghetto and braindead in 2024 because it's cool to be black I guess 🤷♂️
I hate that she tried to flex her power and blacklist an independent animator for using AI voices in his free youtube video though. But the fact that she's a degenerate that ships Azula and Zuko almost makes up for it.
1: Sozin’s Comet only comes around once every 100 years, meaning Azula would’ve never experienced its overwhelming power (or the possible effects on her emotions) before. 2: Azula’s only two “friends” in the world had just betrayed her, and her father left her out of the mission that was *her idea* in the first place (side note: my head-canon is that Ozai left her behind because he no longer trusted her due to Zuko revealing her lies, so that’s her own fault 🤷🏻♀️). Combine those things with her unresolved trauma over her mother’s abandonment and you’ve got a recipe for disaster. I feel bad for her situation, but Azula has no one to blame but herself for the choices she made. Also don’t know if you knew this, but she’s voiced by Grey DeLisle, who’s been the voice of Daphne from Scooby Doo for the longest time. Edit: The fact that Ty Lee is now a Kyoshi Warrior means she would’ve taught them chi-blocking, which would put them on the same level as (some) benders.
I'm more of the mind that Ozai wanted all the glory for himself, which would tie in to why he both left her behind and dubbed himself Phoenix King after naming her Fire Lord
Toph beating azula is pretty up in the air (50/50). Toph as badass as she is has a big weakness which is against people that are shifty and quick, like how she couldn't fight/see aang bc aang can float.
She is shifty but unlike aang, firebender is loud tho but idk. I'd say, on a normal day It would be a solid 60/40 in favor of toph, on comet szn azula clear 90/10
@@ipc2082 Toph has no way to properly defend against Azula. Azula’s first is strong enough it blasts rock. Also, we already saw Zuko easily defeat Toph. And it was an accident!
Azula is also incredibly smart, she was able to bypass Toph's ability to be able to tell lies from hearing their heartbeat. There's no doubt that she would find a way to exploit Toph's blindness
@@ritster21 Azula broke Aangs rock shield in The Drill episode with a sonic spin fireball. Also Toph's rock wall in The Chase with lightning. But I think it's worth noting they nerf toph alot of the time because in situations like the end of "The Chase" where she decided to just move the ground under Azula and trip her, she could've literally just trapped her in rock at any time like she did in The Eclipse episode. Even before that when Azula fake surrendered, she could've trapped her to be safe. Its one of those things where if you don't nerf a character intentionally, I guess it would be too easy.
Here’s something that a few people overlook: when Ozai made himself Phoenix King and had Azula be Firelord it was pretty much a meaningless title. Cause what’s a Firelord to the king of the world?
It would be like a crown heir title for a prince or princess. The Firelord next in line to be Phoenix King. A prestigious thing to be the vassal of the homeland and empire’s capital. I assume there would have been rulers in each territory of the empire with the PK as emperor.
People always point that out as if it's insightful or something. That's any basic government structure. The president can't govern over every state or town individually. Being a mayor or governor isn't a powerless position.
Yall forgetting toph couldn't touch azula with no bending during the eclipse , as strong as toph is she has a weakness to anything that doesn't attack from the ground and Azul a would have realized that five minutes into the battle and use it against her toph is at at huge disadvantage when it comes to people light on their feet like aang azula probably even people like ty lee
Fun Fact : The Creator has the intention to make the continuation after this with Zuko's Mom too but for unknown reason the animation Idea is Cancelled. Good thing is that the creator make the Spinoff Comics related to Zuko's Mom called "The Search".
You start this show cursing Zuko for hounding the Avatar By the end, you are rooting for him to change his family's destiny and steer the fire nation in the right direction. It takes some damn good writers to make you feel all of that for the same character.
There's a comic called "The Search" that will give you some of the things you are looking for. There's quite a few post show comics for this one, but that one specifically is what you're looking for.
FUNFACT: after Toph metal bended people to the walls of the airship, they nevered showed them freeing the firebenders from the control room before destroy the airship, only the lower deck crews. so its likely they were still welded to the walls when they crashed and got oblitterated
Not even the first time someone dies in this show as a direct result of the Gaang, I refuse to believe they didn't catch at least 500 bodies throughout the entire series
@@lfg2.050 That wasn't the first time either, there's no way no one died when the Fire Nation attacked the Northern Air Temple to get the Mechanist, or when Aang went Godzilla mode vs Zhao's fleet on the North Pole
Yea, this show os barely a kids show. It's a fact that that the gang has killed numerous people. I mean, they're in a war so you have to kill others in order to survive.Ngl though, It's still pretty dark to think those guys welded in the walls got super roasted by the amount of fire that came out of the explosion. Imagine getting cooked alive while wrapped in metal, which literally conducts heat? Ouch😭
Nickelodeon really went downhill after this show ended. This is one of my favorite shows of all time. I made my girlfriend watch it for the first time a few years ago and she's been a massive fan since. This show is phenomenal. An actual masterpiece
I still remember the day this aired. I was at a family reunion, and some of my older (by like a year, mind) cousins were allowed to stay up and watch, while I had to go to bed with the younger cousins. I watched the finale through a cracked door, crouching on the hardwood floors. Words cannot describe the incandescent rage I had that evening.
There are comics that cover the story of Zukos mother and the other adventures after this/before Korra if y’all wanna check them out. Glad you guys enjoyed! 🫶👏👏💯
Loved watching you guys react to this! One thing Reactors always forget, Katara isn’t able to blood bend without a full moon. There’s no full moon during the comet.
@@Nevertheless196because the writing in the legend of Kora was awful. You shouldn't take anything it does seriously. Its more like a April fools joke.
@@Nevertheless196 So? That was explained in the series. Turns out techniques evolve over 70 years. As of this series, there are two known blood benders, and it's explicitly stated that only during the full moon are they strong enough.
I had to go to my stepdads family function during the nickelodeon premiere of sozens comet and I forced them to change the channel. Hella people ended up watching the series finale w me because it was so dope!! No one else had ever seen an episode!! 😂
A lot of people say that Zuko’s Battle against Azula is the best but if u pay attention to Anng’s Battle is definitely the best since the beginning, seeing Aang trying to scape and in the end he shows us the power of the Avatar State, that’s nuts. All is so perfect in this sow.
1:15 This is not where it stops, the comics continue the story in such a great way(including the Zuko mom story), you have to read at least The Promise and The Search, so so so good. Plus there are some prequel books about the previous avatars, that are great as well.
Such a good finale, I really hope you guys give Legend of Korra a watch as it is the direct sequel to The Last Airbender and has some great call backs to characters from the original series.
17:45 damn a shame too cause the VA for azula is actually the complete opposite of her character. She showed the show to her own kids and they hated the character and couldn't believe she voiced that villain lmao. Also, toph is built to fight but to be an avatar is a whole different conversation, aang was goofy and silly especially at the beginning but due to being raised by monks that taught him discipline and empathy he is far more suited to be an avatar as the avatar not just fights but must understand others, and bring balance through communication. In korra you will see what I mean, also there was a comic strip of avatar yengchen explaining to aang who asked "why is the avatar human?". But I get your point and I feel the frustration with what you think should happen
I'd like to add that Azula was also ab*sed by her father. In the comics, she does receive her redemption arc. She suffered mentally with what her father put her through. She even blamed her mother for leaving her to the hands of her father.
who need the eclipse ? they're defeating fire nation when they are at the peak of they're power because of the sozin's comet !! it so freakin awesome..
Yup 100%, a show like this has to be done right for it to work down to the designs & the characters. It’s that type of show that you have to get right or just don’t do it all if you can’t ☝️
The only "hero not killing" moment I like more than this is the Daredevil finale "You dont get to destroy who I am" Writing a interesting and compelling character that doesnt kill is hard because a lot of people can find it annoying or lame or they know it could easily solve the conflict of the story
Probably my favourite Avatar reactions start to end I've seen. And I've seen a lot haha. Great time watching your reactions! And fuck Azula! No redemption wanted.
Aaaaaaah, I say it’s a work in progress. While one of the writers have said that Azula was planned to have a redemption down the road, I wouldn’t say it started until the “Spirit Temple” comic. And even that feels less “start of a redemption quest” and more “step in the right direction”.
a very important thing about azulas character, is when all this happens, shes like 14 yeas old. thats why she breaks. shes just a kid under a literal mountain of pressure, expectation, and scrutiny
If only Nickelodeon had done a deal with Fandom Events to play the same night of the series finale of ATLA, so fans could watch the last 4 episodes in dark, chill, with a cold drink in one hand, nachos and popcorn on your lap and hotdog with m&m candles in your other hand and other fans to share the experience with. What could be a better way to watch the series finale?
Drew and Joe really locked in with the finale. They are seated upright and was really feeling the final fight of Aang vs Ozai and Zuko vs Azula. ATLA will always be a top tier show ❤ When Aang got access to the Avatar state again goosebumps always.
There are comics that are even now still coming out, that detail the next year or two of team Avatars story. Well worth reading and a beautiful way of including Zuko and Azula’s mom

Dare I say one of the best finales in television? The writing was just wonderful.
Totally agree 💯
The music was spectacular too.

“What’s his excuse?”
“He works for hell.”
Lmao!! Loved ya’lls reaction!! 😁
Honestly don’t think any reactors have hated Azula as much as you guys and I am here for it.
Yaboyroshi maybe. He said she got exactly what she deserved and called her a mentally unstable ass b*tch after she was defeated lol
the last Agni Kai when the sound effects are magnified and the music drops down is masterful. This finale is amazing
Finale was peak writing.⛽️
It’s funny how y’all kept saying how it’s like a movie because when it aired, all 4 parts were released as a 2 hour finale.
With all due respect to Struggle Soldier, Azula's voice actress is a sweetheart compared to her character
Most people are sweethearts compared to Azula.
Probably the greatest show FINALE EVER…a masterpiece of a show.

There's a comic called "The Search" that will give you some of the things you are looking for. There's quite a few post show comics for this one, but that one specifically is what you're looking for.
Loved how much you guys were into this show. One of my childhood/all time favorite shows, one of the best
FUNFACT: after Toph metal bended people to the walls of the airship, they nevered showed them freeing the firebenders from the control room before destroy the airship, only the lower deck crews. so its likely they were still welded to the walls when they crashed and got oblitterated
Not even the first time someone dies in this show as a direct result of the Gaang, I refuse to believe they didn't catch at least 500 bodies throughout the entire series
@@pabloc8808I agree 💯
@@pabloc8808aang included he was tearing down fire nation air balloons on the day of black sun 😂
@@lfg2.050 That wasn't the first time either, there's no way no one died when the Fire Nation attacked the Northern Air Temple to get the Mechanist, or when Aang went Godzilla mode vs Zhao's fleet on the North Pole
Yea, this show os barely a kids show. It's a fact that that the gang has killed numerous people. I mean, they're in a war so you have to kill others in order to survive.Ngl though, It's still pretty dark to think those guys welded in the walls got super roasted by the amount of fire that came out of the explosion. Imagine getting cooked alive while wrapped in metal, which literally conducts heat? Ouch😭
Nickelodeon really went downhill after this show ended. This is one of my favorite shows of all time. I made my girlfriend watch it for the first time a few years ago and she's been a massive fan since. This show is phenomenal. An actual masterpiece
I still remember the day this aired. I was at a family reunion, and some of my older (by like a year, mind) cousins were allowed to stay up and watch, while I had to go to bed with the younger cousins.
I watched the finale through a cracked door, crouching on the hardwood floors. Words cannot describe the incandescent rage I had that evening.
Such an iconic show. Brilliant reaction. Really appreciate how you guys kept it light and made us laugh while acknowledging the powerful themes.
There are some comics that take place after the show where Zuko goes to find his mom . And Azula got put in an insane asylum
Azula is voiced by Grey Delisle-Griffin, who is the voice actress for Daphne (Scooby Doo)
the finale of finales like this was some legendary shit
There are comics that are a direct continuation of the show, and in these comics you learn about what happened to Zuko‘s mom
There are comics that cover the story of Zukos mother and the other adventures after this/before Korra if y’all wanna check them out. Glad you guys enjoyed! 🫶👏👏💯
Loved watching you guys react to this!
One thing Reactors always forget, Katara isn’t able to blood bend without a full moon. There’s no full moon during the comet.
Katara can only bloodbend during a full moon. A lot of people seem to forget that.
in legend of korra the guy with the mask could do that all the time he did not need the moon
@@Nevertheless196because the writing in the legend of Kora was awful. You shouldn't take anything it does seriously. Its more like a April fools joke.
@@iamtotallynot123 i did not like it as well
@@Nevertheless196 So? That was explained in the series. Turns out techniques evolve over 70 years. As of this series, there are two known blood benders, and it's explicitly stated that only during the full moon are they strong enough.
@@TheSyncosDid the show’s writing explain how Amon could take bending away with blood bending? It was just terrible
I had to go to my stepdads family function during the nickelodeon premiere of sozens comet and I forced them to change the channel. Hella people ended up watching the series finale w me because it was so dope!! No one else had ever seen an episode!! 😂
😂😂😂😂 Fn Diabolical mate!!
A lot of people say that Zuko’s Battle against Azula is the best but if u pay attention to Anng’s Battle is definitely the best since the beginning, seeing Aang trying to scape and in the end he shows us the power of the Avatar State, that’s nuts. All is so perfect in this sow.
“If this shit was called The Toph it make a lot of sense” 😭😭
Was awesome to rewatch Avatar with you guys, the only thing I enjoy more than watching it is seeing others experience it for the first time.
After all these years this remains one of the greatest animated series of all time!
there are comics that continue right where it left off!! i think it’s the second comic that explores zuko’s mom
1:15 This is not where it stops, the comics continue the story in such a great way(including the Zuko mom story), you have to read at least The Promise and The Search, so so so good. Plus there are some prequel books about the previous avatars, that are great as well.
Such a good finale, I really hope you guys give Legend of Korra a watch as it is the direct sequel to The Last Airbender and has some great call backs to characters from the original series.
An absolutely timeless story that still holds up to if not surpasses many other series today
17:45 damn a shame too cause the VA for azula is actually the complete opposite of her character. She showed the show to her own kids and they hated the character and couldn't believe she voiced that villain lmao. Also, toph is built to fight but to be an avatar is a whole different conversation, aang was goofy and silly especially at the beginning but due to being raised by monks that taught him discipline and empathy he is far more suited to be an avatar as the avatar not just fights but must understand others, and bring balance through communication. In korra you will see what I mean, also there was a comic strip of avatar yengchen explaining to aang who asked "why is the avatar human?". But I get your point and I feel the frustration with what you think should happen
Zuko's Mom makes an appearance in the Comics. This is the only thing that gives you insight on what happened, why it happened and how it's going now.
ATLA is a timeless classic for all ages that leaves you wanting for more. I am glad you both enjoyed it as much as I did and always will.
I'd like to add that Azula was also ab*sed by her father. In the comics, she does receive her redemption arc. She suffered mentally with what her father put her through. She even blamed her mother for leaving her to the hands of her father.
who need the eclipse ? they're defeating fire nation when they are at the peak of they're power because of the sozin's comet !! it so freakin awesome..
" I hate when I hear music like this, cause it makes me want to be a better person " is the funniest shit I've ever heard😂😂😭😭
Be sure to check out the comics that follow this, they answer a lot of your questions about what happens after. So glad you guys reacted to this.
A beautiful ending to a great animated series
I hope that you guys are going to do Legend of Korra next, for all its faults it’s a good and decent continuation of the series.
Now you guys understand when people wanna make a movie or netflix series...we have a HIGH standard on how it should be...
Yup 100%, a show like this has to be done right for it to work down to the designs & the characters. It’s that type of show that you have to get right or just don’t do it all if you can’t ☝️
The only "hero not killing" moment I like more than this is the Daredevil finale
"You dont get to destroy who I am"
Writing a interesting and compelling character that doesnt kill is hard because a lot of people can find it annoying or lame or they know it could easily solve the conflict of the story
Amazing story, great conclusion to zuko and aang stories
There is a comic about what happened to the mom. It's called The Search. I think you can find its summary here on RUclips.
“whats his excuse”
Me: Guys he was ALWAYS like this and more info read The Search (Avatar Comics) yeah trust me OZAI WAS ALWAYS LIKE THAT
Probably my favourite Avatar reactions start to end I've seen. And I've seen a lot haha. Great time watching your reactions!
And fuck Azula! No redemption wanted.
Azula: "No redemption given."
oddly enough azula does actually have a redemption arc in the comics after they find the mom
Aaaaaaah, I say it’s a work in progress. While one of the writers have said that Azula was planned to have a redemption down the road, I wouldn’t say it started until the “Spirit Temple” comic.
And even that feels less “start of a redemption quest” and more “step in the right direction”.
You guys made it to the end! I’m glad you guys enjoyed it! 😁 ❤❤❤
Toph could theoretically use a stone wall to literally ground the lightning, assuming bent electricity acts the same ways as bolts of electricity
“No- nothin, NOTHING IS OVER” 🔥
Such a great series. Ive seen it probably 20x times first to last. Classic
a very important thing about azulas character, is when all this happens, shes like 14 yeas old. thats why she breaks. shes just a kid under a literal mountain of pressure, expectation, and scrutiny
Just one small connection even if Katara wanted to blood bend she couldn't she can only do it during the full moon but everything else was in point
So glad to finally see you reach the end of the greatest story ever told 😊 Korra is the 2nd greatest story ever told, enjoy your journey!!!
If only Nickelodeon had done a deal with Fandom Events to play the same night of the series finale of ATLA, so fans could watch the last 4 episodes in dark, chill, with a cold drink in one hand, nachos and popcorn on your lap and hotdog with m&m candles in your other hand and other fans to share the experience with. What could be a better way to watch the series finale?
6:30😂 yall remember when u wanted toph gone back when she was being mean in s2?
This was LORD OF THE RINGS level of emotions.
Drew and Joe really locked in with the finale. They are seated upright and was really feeling the final fight of Aang vs Ozai and Zuko vs Azula.
ATLA will always be a top tier show ❤ When Aang got access to the Avatar state again goosebumps always.
There are comics that are even now still coming out, that detail the next year or two of team Avatars story. Well worth reading and a beautiful way of including Zuko and Azula’s mom
I can't wait for The Legend of Korra next
honestly yall, one of the best reactions out there. and i’ve seen hundreds
keep it up
the first and last Word that speaking in the show are sooo true, 1.ITS 2.PERFECT
