def one of the best episodes of the series! they hit it out of the park... the addition of the soldiers paying respect to "Our Prince" was chef's kiss 😘
I LOVE that they expanded Aang and Zuko's convo after the escape - in the animated version, it's just Aang comparing Zuko to Kuzon and saying 'we could have been friends' but in the live action, Aang connects with Zuko himself...as Zuko. It's so heartbreaking that it feels like Aang complementing Zuko's notebook was probably one of the only times Zuko has been told he did a good job at something and we got to really see their connection. I think the live action writers really knew which storylines to combine and streamline and which to give more time to breathe (like Answer mentioned, the animated version of The Blue Spirit episode had that whole side quest of Aang getting frozen frogs for Katara and Sokka and they were randomly MIA because of a flu - here, they connected Aang's capture to the story rather than having it a random occurrence)
I think this one might be my favorite too. I was so obsessed with the Blue Mask scenes, they did so well! I do like the added details of his crew being the 41st and the ones he sort of rescued. All new recruits so of course they will make mistakes and frustrate Zuko. This was a powerful episode. I am so happy were getting 2 more seasons. I wait in severe anticipation for when Zuko says "That's rough buddy." Cause YOU KNOW, they have to include that line, its iconic and a fan favorite, we will riot if not included. Just like "My cabbages!"
Personally, I won't riot if they don't include that line. Dante made it a classic, but there's no need to try and copy it - for all the cartoon purists it won't ever be good enough anyway.
The inclusion of the Mother of Faces was one of my fav things from this episode! Love that they’re incorporating the comics into the show as well!! Would definitely recommend you guys to check out the post-cartoon comics and the Kyoshi & Yangchen novels (+ the Roku one coming this year), they have so much story to give & answer certain questions; the novels also go into the previous avatars stories and are incredible!
I think it’s nice that the creators included lore that was only talked about in the comic books for example the Mother of Faces. Especially since readers of the comics know how big of a role the Mother of Faces was to Zukos mom. I like they gave background to Zuko crew when it’s not talked about in the original along with some newer ideas in the show.
This episode is my absolute favourite as well, and to be honest I'm loving everything they're doing relating to Zuko and Iroh, I love when they're on the screen.
First time seeing this episode with you guys, the reveal that the 41st crew was supposed to be the sacrifice but then saved by Zuko's defiance of the plan is an angle I didn't see coming and is a welcome addition to the show!!! ❤️❤️❤️
@ayafei careful there bud. Some people are incapable of respecting opinions that differ from their own. They think there is a right and wrong opinion when it comes to liking or disliking fiction.
@@ayafei he isn’t fighting for his honour in this storyline. He is fighting to prove those lives were worth saving. He is fighting for their honour not just his own. He is also fighting to prove his dad wrong about something, not to get his dad’s approval. So that inner struggle between good and evil is now external. The getting everything he wants just to realize it wasn’t worth it can’t really happen because what he wants is to catch the avatar so they can all go home and so they can prove you shouldn’t sacrifice your own soldiers in war.
@@tracim3080 again, I have to ask, so what? Changes were made. Liberties were taken. Why are you not capable of respecting opinions that differ from your own?
The Avatar Roku interaction I loved in this episode, seeing his playful side now when you don't see it until much later in the series. Teasing to put Aang at ease, then not telling him, but talking to him, & of course the "Friends can be complicated" comment.
I like some stuff they added to the series. Things that ATLA never touched on. I always wondered how zuko and iroh had a crew in ATLA. I like they explained it in NATLA.
for me a couple of the reasons that they aren't doing 1 for 1 copy is one - live action and animated are actually very different languages. A lot of the things that happens in animated would come out as too fake and weird, and second, and i say this in te nicest way possible, what would be the point in that? why not just rewatch the og? why spend that amount of money to just retell the exactly same story? and i love the animated og version, but for me, this episode is what this whole live action show should have been because it builts on the original story, it adds more dept to zuko's crew without taking away from the story. Love this reactions
This is what a live adaptation should be like always. The really important stuff is maintained and some of the fun elements (the bamboo ladder) also being brought to life, and then iron’s voice over and the 41st division added to the story rather than change the story. So this was absolutely perfect ❤
When Ozai declared Agni Kai on Zuko, I think this live action version actually made more sense. The animated version always felt like the Agni Kai was punishment for Zuko speaking out of turn. But here, it's done because the General made the sacrifice suggestion and Ozai agreed... but then Zuko calls it a stupid plan, indirectly calling Ozai stupid since Ozai did agree to it. A son unintentionally called his father stupid.
You make an excellent point. Although the animated series is my all-time favorite, it was not without some minor flaws. My own personal opinion is that this adaptation is nowhere near as good as the original. But I do still like (not love) this show, and this is one of the changes I did appreciate.
I understand where you’re coming from here, but I disagree. Simply because in the cartoon zuko “spoke out of turn” instead of actually insulting his father but Ozai perceives it that way. I think it adds to ozai’s cruelty and understanding zuko’s dynamic with his father. Chasing after approval that he will never get because of how unreasonable his dad is. Even letting zuko get a few punches in the Agni Kai instead of having him ask his father for forgiveness. In the cartoon when zuko gets burned by his father I saw it as his innocence and childhood being stripped away but making the burn more of a lesson because zuko was”weak” I think changes that for me personally. It gives an understanding to ozai that I don’t like because he is supposed to be a terrible person
Why are people mad that this isn't an exact replica? Why are people mad that others like the show despite the changes? Are egos so fragile that they cannot rest until the world agrees with them?
@Truekingr6 I definitely agree with you on some of the acting. The first time I watched the show I didn't like it because of that. I do think Zuko is good though. And Sokka grew on me when I watched it a 2nd time.
For me the frustrating part is that they opt to use animated characters/plots/places/etc. and then just twist things up. They make up a lot of original stuff that feels ok, but when you start using animated stuff like this it just feels like they could have easily stuck closer to the original, and it would have bettered the show
@franzferdinand5810 I totally get and respect that not everyone likes the show. We all have our reasons for liking or disliking it. What I don't understand are the insults, anger, and hatefuless towards those who don't share our opinions. I'm all for healthy dialog, but this is nuts. Why is it so hard for people to accept and respect that we are all different with different tastes? It's a TV show. Humanity's fate is not being determined here. We're not talking about cures for diseases or solving world hunger. It's just not that serious.
I always love any Aang & Zuko scenes. Their 1st encounter, Omashu fight, them working together here and more. Cant wait to see more of them in season 2 and 3
Never seen the show or cartoon but, I think when fire boy dropped his sword when rescuing Lil arrow guy, he will be discovered as the masked guy soon. They focused on it for some reason.
I am not upset. I have sched tears almost every episode😢❤ I love it, it is not supposed to be a one on one. Other wise I would watch the orginial version! Also Iroh his words made me cry so much😢😢
I love how Zhao and Ozai are more interesting and 3 dimensional in live action, something I missed in the cartoon that is why I liked the "villains" in Korra more. Greetings from Germany❤
As an avid fan, i will say, i appreciate how theyve handled Zuko in the live action. Iroh still has potential, katara and aang need personalities, sokka needs more natural lines. But again Zuko and the 41st being the crew he stood up for made me tear up!
I share that same opinion. I think most of that is due to the acting, which is my biggest complaint. I do think Sokka got better over time though, so I have hope for him. Hopefully, the others will improve as well in the upcoming seasons.
My opinion is any adaptation should be able to stand on its own two feet. And if you can enjoy the show without having seen the original, then it did its job. I have been wondering what people who never saw the original thought of this new version. Problem is, everyone I know has seen the original, so it's hard to get an unbiased opinion.
i was about to go re-watch the animated episode to see if it was the one w/the frozen frogs! .... Oak, you know you didn't even miss that storyline.... 😉
This was mixing a lot of episodes and messing the meaning in all of them. I can’t stand that to make it adult the felt the need to dumb it down. It’s just a sad look at reality that we could trust kids to watch a cartoon 20 years ago with greater understanding than we expect of adults to watch it now
i don't think it's the fault of producers, but rather netflix's. shows nowaday are lucky to have 8 episodes, most have only 6, i don't know why they give that limit though. but i agree, i'd be so fun to see more episodes, even if it was only two more. but we also can't treat it like the cartoon, cause they're two separate things @@tracim3080
I hate how Iroh gets so annoyed with people having justified emotions. The Earth soldier, Lt Jee… I can’t imagine cartoon Iroh slowly walking towards you while coldly saying you don’t know shit about sacrifice lol
One nugget I loved was Zuko's show of compassion about the weak becoming strong if you just give them a chance even after he was burned and his father is offering him a chance to sacrifice the 41st a 2nd time.
@@almaicardi this eps was shown different side of zuko and iroh that made cry more than one time that why i comment on it same like others people all the one who watch this ep are liked and loved zuko after it. go hate in other comment😊👍
Yeah, I'm another person who says that this show is a mixed bag. Some stuff is even better than the OG, some stuff is godawful. This entire episode is very, very, VERY good. Bryke's original vision for the episode was kept enough for them to get writing credits. Also, The Mother of Faces is an Easter Egg for people who read the comics. She's a key figure in the story of "what happened to Zuko's mom."
The fact this was directed by different people goes to show how good the source material is. If you utilize the source material, theres hardly any need to juggle or brainstorm new ideas. The difficulty is in laying out the sour material in different format. Because the fans didnt want a 1:1 copy of the original animation, and so far the pacing has been slightly above par.
41:13 Aaron Ehasz doesn't get enough credit imo; many of our favorite atla episodes have his hand in it, and his lack of involvement in Korra is felt by me, personally
Did you see the Dragon Prince? He created the show and it also has the same actor that played Sokka in the original. They make several references to AtLA. Those little touches tickled me.
The mixed reviews are because it's a bag of mixed nuts. This episode was great while others were not. A lot of negative reviews focus on bad stuff while positive reviews focus on great stuff like this episode.
I think there is a lot to take take in all these past episodes and the changes. So a long post about the good and the bad, starting with the bad: - Last episode introduced Hei Bai and did not resolve his unrest in this episode, nor did we see his panda form, which I wish would resolve. They also introduced Wan Shi Tong though this one I can understand, because they are worried they might not get a chance to because they didn't know if there was going to be a season 2 at that point and wanted to throw that in there - Gyatso leaving his hut in the spirit world was a bit of a cliffhanger, because we don't know why he couldn't stay even though it's been 100 years since he surpassingly waited for Aang and there doesn't seem to have any reason for him to go, hopefully he makes a return in the future - King Bumi being bitter, though some people argue it's more realistic, perhaps, it's uncomfortable to make trusted friend Aang had into an almost enemy, and to see him so cruel, especially to child who already has difficultly accepting the responsibilities of being the Avatar and saving the world. - The caves were more about Sokka and Katara, siblings and not saved for Aang and Katara, who we know will end up together, makes it and uncomfortable thing, even though it was about love, sibling love and not falling in love, but still. - The Roku scene might be more mixed, he brought a bit of humor, but the original counterpart made sense because he felt guilt and regret that he didn't take out Sozin, leading to genocide of the air nomads, and a 100 year war. It was his mess that Aang had to fix. I somewhat don't mind the humor but it felt a little out of place The good: - Iroh and Ozai despite being brothers, have no interactions in the original, but here we actually see him try to defend Zuko - June was about as perfectly casted as you can get. Looks like here and a cold personality of a bounty hunter, her liking Iroh is no issue here - Gyatso appearing in the spirit world telling Aang it's not his fault he left, because he would also have dies and couldn't save the air nomads gave Aang comfort and forgiveness he needed - The sequence with the blue spirit was about as well translated as it could have gotten, a well executed scene - The 41st division was really one of the best scenes of this episode. From the remorseful look on Jee's face, to his crew bowing to respect how because of him speaking up for them, he got burned, banished and sent on what thought to be an impossible mission to Iroh's proud look
Funny how everyone in the comments are praising this episode for being the best out of the series, when it was the most accurate depiction of the original. Then these are same people that are commenting on other posts “no one wanted a carbon copy remake” . DECIDE WHAT YOU WANT PEOPLE. You cannot defend the atrocities from other episodes because they wanted to make things different, and then praise this episode bc they made things so accurate.
Oak, it wasn't an action movie... It was Twilight Eclipse... When Edward and Jacob were talking and Edward said, "If we weren't natural enemies, and you weren't trying to steal my reason for existing, I think I might actually like you." Lol
I think this show did fine, I liked it. But there is too much exposition dialogue. If they learn from reviews and cut out all the exposition, then we good.
i truly believe the reason there's so much exposition is because writers know how dead media literacy is lol. people nowadays need EVERYTHING explaining to them while watching a show/movie and believe if smth isn't outright said then it Must be a plothole. just this past week avatar fans have been coming out with the worst takes in history all over twitter, just proving how much they didn't understand the show or characters 😅
Finally! I was waiting for this episode for you guys to react to ❤ I think in general many, even the ones who didn't like the series liked this particular episode. They may have missed the opportunity with koh but the rest is chef's kiss.
I liked the adding the back story of why zuko has the crew he does, but that’s one of the only things I truly really liked that they did. These are the type of changes I wanted ones that added depth to the story and reasoning. Not changing plot points, character arcs, and other things with imo seemingly no reason. I just can’t get over the fact that it felt like there was no purpose to the changes so it was hard for me to get on board with. No reason to make it word for word and one for one but it feels so different to me and maybe that’s just my nostalgia speaking. Thinking of this show outside of the cartoon and something separate I can appreciate it more and even like it because it is entertaining. So for my own sanity I’ve decided it’s an alternate universe because it lets me enjoy it more than I really feel.
I hope you guys keep in mind that a lot of people just hate it because its different. Their obsessed love for the original clouds their judgement, even when something is done better and more realistic these people will never admit that. In my opinion these people are very nitpicky and i think a straight up copy from the cartoon is unrealistic and also quite boring. I dont understand why people pretend like the original is perfect and has 0 flaws(example aangs sudden struggle in the last season of having to kill ozai while before having killed and hurt LOADS of innocent people fighting and never having a problem with it) Even tho some things are done a bit different you cant deny that this is done with keeping the love for the source material.
I agree with you. I myself was guilty of that at first. The first time I watched it, I didn't like it. But I've learned over the years to give things a 2nd chance (I HATED Pulp Fuction the 1st time I saw it, but fell in love with it the 2nd time). So with that in mind, I watched this show again and was able to appreciate it much more. I still don't LOVE the show, but I can say now that I like the show, despite its flaws, namely the acting, which I hope will improve in the upcoming seasons.
Some are 'mad' about the changes that happened with Roku's character, Aang's 'flying' to name a few, but little did they know that this episode and the first one were actually co-written by the OG creators Bryan and Mike. Yes, they were involved with the live-action, contrary to reports that they have no involvement with the series. They were credited as co-writers of episodes 1 & 6 along w/ showrunner Albert Kim.
And then walked out. lmao, you're a fool if you think original writers and producers, etc. ever get a proper say in a project. When something is rebooted, they hardly ever listen to the original material
I wish ang acted more like ang like he’s definitely not like as goofy it’s like they went straight for looks I think sokas the best fit out of the cast
This episode was good, but the order that they told the story was a complaint i saw online that didn't really hit me until this episode. The episode itself was good but could have been amazing with some changes in editing. Still my fav episode i think
It's unbelievable that you didn't react to SALAAR:- part 1 - Ceasefire yet🤷😅 I'm waiting for that for a long time...Pls react to it, I really enjoy your reaction guys❤
Dissappointed that they mashed together two of my favourite episodes from the animation. I was so waiting for the hunt and sucking of the frogs, lol. But seriously, I think they are too busy with these episodes in some extend. Maybe they had not thought about doing more seasons than this one originaly. The choises of showing more back stories is gold though, very good script work.
Many folks have pointed out that they are incorporating things from the comics, many of which were co-authored by the original creators. I'm not saying that should sway your opinion, but it does explain some of the changes that were made and that not all of them are random changes.
2 more to go. Good to see Zuko and Aang working together in this episode. What was your reaction to episode 6?

12th fail Netflix.. you’ll love it. different genre
Zuko and Iroh's relationship is the highlight in this series for me. I love them.
The 41st respecting Zuko at the end really got to me the first time. Zuko's story is so good
Could have been better
We're not supposed to love zuko in season 1, were supposed to hate him
But if you watched the show, you know where the story goes and for Zuko's story, I can't help but like him
@@Josmersuero womp womp
@@Josmersueronot even supposed to really see Ozai or Azula till later seasons either.

The inclusion of the Mother of Faces was one of my fav things from this episode! Love that they’re incorporating the comics into the show as well!!
Would definitely recommend you guys to check out the post-cartoon comics and the Kyoshi & Yangchen novels (+ the Roku one coming this year), they have so much story to give & answer certain questions; the novels also go into the previous avatars stories and are incredible!

I love that they made Zuko's crew the ones he saved in that war meeting. Genius!
THIS was indeed the best episode
I love the add-on to the 41st. I still cry at the end of that scene.
I thought the rope was placed by Zuko on his way in. He's smart enough to plan their escape.
Good point! I hadn't thought of that.
Why are people mad that this isn't an exact replica? Why are people mad that others like the show despite the changes? Are egos so fragile that they cannot rest until the world agrees with them?
I second this. We can watch the cartoon at any time, so why would I be upset that it's not 1 to 1? I was entertained, all I need
But I do admit the acting could be better. Like no one shed any tears except Sokka with that CGi tear
@Truekingr6 I definitely agree with you on some of the acting. The first time I watched the show I didn't like it because of that. I do think Zuko is good though. And Sokka grew on me when I watched it a 2nd time.

Loved the blue spirit scene 🔥
I always love any Aang & Zuko scenes. Their 1st encounter, Omashu fight, them working together here and more. Cant wait to see more of them in season 2 and 3
Episode 4 and 6 have got to be my favorite, just such good ones esp w the Zuko and Iroh relationship highlight and Zuko’s backstory
Never seen the show or cartoon but, I think when fire boy dropped his sword when rescuing Lil arrow guy, he will be discovered as the masked guy soon. They focused on it for some reason.
You're correct, good spot... I shall say no more...
please watch the cartoon its so much better
This is without a doubt my favorite episode of the live action
Love ur reactions to this series!!! Keep up the great work :)
I am not upset. I have sched tears almost every episode😢❤ I love it, it is not supposed to be a one on one. Other wise I would watch the orginial version!
Also Iroh his words made me cry so much😢😢
This episode made me cry so hard. Its put together soooo well
fun fact, ozai and iroh never interact in the cartoon! that's one change i hope we can all agree is a good one.
I love how Zhao and Ozai are more interesting and 3 dimensional in live action, something I missed in the cartoon that is why I liked the "villains" in Korra more. Greetings from Germany❤
The best fight (imo) is zuko vs ozai first time I saw it had my heart racing
One of the fire nation monks is from the ghost of tushima which is didn’t notice till i heard his voice more
Lmao you guys kill me with all your “the ole…” references in every video 😂. “The old beanbag chair” “the ole superhero landing” 😂😂
i called the doctor for you guys. BACK BACK BACK
The way they mixed Blue Spirit with the parts of Storm was really good,Zuko and Iroh's actors have great chemistry :)
Finally! I was waiting for your video! Airbender in da house ❤
I love watching along in the membership and here ❤
I think Lieutenant Jee was in some background shots in the animated show but he only got named during "The Storm"
As an avid fan, i will say, i appreciate how theyve handled Zuko in the live action.
Iroh still has potential, katara and aang need personalities, sokka needs more natural lines.
But again Zuko and the 41st being the crew he stood up for made me tear up!
I share that same opinion. I think most of that is due to the acting, which is my biggest complaint. I do think Sokka got better over time though, so I have hope for him. Hopefully, the others will improve as well in the upcoming seasons.
I did not watch the animated series but I enjoyed this, immensely.
My opinion is any adaptation should be able to stand on its own two feet. And if you can enjoy the show without having seen the original, then it did its job. I have been wondering what people who never saw the original thought of this new version. Problem is, everyone I know has seen the original, so it's hard to get an unbiased opinion.
“It’s like walking into oak’s house!” Lmfaooo that was a great one Quinn lol!
i was about to go re-watch the animated episode to see if it was the one w/the frozen frogs! .... Oak, you know you didn't even miss that storyline.... 😉
This was mixing a lot of episodes and messing the meaning in all of them.
I can’t stand that to make it adult the felt the need to dumb it down.
It’s just a sad look at reality that we could trust kids to watch a cartoon 20 years ago with greater understanding than we expect of adults to watch it now
i don't think it's the fault of producers, but rather netflix's. shows nowaday are lucky to have 8 episodes, most have only 6, i don't know why they give that limit though. but i agree, i'd be so fun to see more episodes, even if it was only two more. but we also can't treat it like the cartoon, cause they're two separate things @@tracim3080
For me, getting through episodes 4 & 5 were worth it to watch this one and episode 8. These excellent ones give me hope for the next two seasons.
The Mother of Faces was introduced in the Avatar comic trilogy "The Search".
This was my favourite episode 😍🙌🏼💯
I hate how Iroh gets so annoyed with people having justified emotions. The Earth soldier, Lt Jee… I can’t imagine cartoon Iroh slowly walking towards you while coldly saying you don’t know shit about sacrifice lol
One nugget I loved was Zuko's show of compassion about the weak becoming strong if you just give them a chance even after he was burned and his father is offering him a chance to sacrifice the 41st a 2nd time.
Irohs post episode commentary fucking guts me 😢😢😢😢
Aang doesn't skip Leg Day.
😂
🤣🤣🤣
Zuko was my favourtie character in the live action and in the old show 🔥🔥🔥💪
It's so funny to me that there are people here telling others who they're "supposed" to like, and when and why we should like or dislike a character.
@@almaicardi this eps was shown different side of zuko and iroh that made cry more than one time that why i comment on it same like others people all the one who watch this ep are liked and loved zuko after it. go hate in other comment😊👍
@@roseali8188 agreed!!
Yeah, I'm another person who says that this show is a mixed bag. Some stuff is even better than the OG, some stuff is godawful. This entire episode is very, very, VERY good. Bryke's original vision for the episode was kept enough for them to get writing credits.
Also, The Mother of Faces is an Easter Egg for people who read the comics. She's a key figure in the story of "what happened to Zuko's mom."
Loved this episode and really enjoyed the series. Looking forward to seasons 2 and 3.
I like other episodes too but this one was my favorite
Iam here your all-time greatest fan😢😢
The fact this was directed by different people goes to show how good the source material is. If you utilize the source material, theres hardly any need to juggle or brainstorm new ideas. The difficulty is in laying out the sour material in different format. Because the fans didnt want a 1:1 copy of the original animation, and so far the pacing has been slightly above par.
My favorite episode of the season!!
My favourite episode
Zukos mask reminds me of 3 Ninjas, those movies are classics
41:13 Aaron Ehasz doesn't get enough credit imo; many of our favorite atla episodes have his hand in it, and his lack of involvement in Korra is felt by me, personally
Did you see the Dragon Prince? He created the show and it also has the same actor that played Sokka in the original. They make several references to AtLA. Those little touches tickled me.
@@almaicardi I'll have to give it a watch, thanks!
The mixed reviews are because it's a bag of mixed nuts. This episode was great while others were not. A lot of negative reviews focus on bad stuff while positive reviews focus on great stuff like this episode.
If they did a show just about iroh and zuko, i would love it
Good Saturday morning, Badd Medicine! great way to start the weekend ...goodd medicine for me🥰
I think there is a lot to take take in all these past episodes and the changes. So a long post about the good and the bad, starting with the bad:
- Last episode introduced Hei Bai and did not resolve his unrest in this episode, nor did we see his panda form, which I wish would resolve. They also introduced Wan Shi Tong though this one I can understand, because they are worried they might not get a chance to because they didn't know if there was going to be a season 2 at that point and wanted to throw that in there
- Gyatso leaving his hut in the spirit world was a bit of a cliffhanger, because we don't know why he couldn't stay even though it's been 100 years since he surpassingly waited for Aang and there doesn't seem to have any reason for him to go, hopefully he makes a return in the future
- King Bumi being bitter, though some people argue it's more realistic, perhaps, it's uncomfortable to make trusted friend Aang had into an almost enemy, and to see him so cruel, especially to child who already has difficultly accepting the responsibilities of being the Avatar and saving the world.
- The caves were more about Sokka and Katara, siblings and not saved for Aang and Katara, who we know will end up together, makes it and uncomfortable thing, even though it was about love, sibling love and not falling in love, but still.
- The Roku scene might be more mixed, he brought a bit of humor, but the original counterpart made sense because he felt guilt and regret that he didn't take out Sozin, leading to genocide of the air nomads, and a 100 year war. It was his mess that Aang had to fix. I somewhat don't mind the humor but it felt a little out of place
The good:
- Iroh and Ozai despite being brothers, have no interactions in the original, but here we actually see him try to defend Zuko
- June was about as perfectly casted as you can get. Looks like here and a cold personality of a bounty hunter, her liking Iroh is no issue here
- Gyatso appearing in the spirit world telling Aang it's not his fault he left, because he would also have dies and couldn't save the air nomads gave Aang comfort and forgiveness he needed
- The sequence with the blue spirit was about as well translated as it could have gotten, a well executed scene
- The 41st division was really one of the best scenes of this episode. From the remorseful look on Jee's face, to his crew bowing to respect how because of him speaking up for them, he got burned, banished and sent on what thought to be an impossible mission to Iroh's proud look
You make excellent points on both sides.
Funny how everyone in the comments are praising this episode for being the best out of the series, when it was the most accurate depiction of the original. Then these are same people that are commenting on other posts “no one wanted a carbon copy remake” . DECIDE WHAT YOU WANT PEOPLE. You cannot defend the atrocities from other episodes because they wanted to make things different, and then praise this episode bc they made things so accurate.
I noticed that as well!
What atrocities? Chill out. It’s just a tv show lol
Oak, it wasn't an action movie... It was Twilight Eclipse... When Edward and Jacob were talking and Edward said, "If we weren't natural enemies, and you weren't trying to steal my reason for existing, I think I might actually like you." Lol
King Kong : Skull Island ?
"Take apart the uniform and the war and he was my brother."
great job guys, keep dooing it in a way you enjoy it.
I think this show did fine, I liked it. But there is too much exposition dialogue. If they learn from reviews and cut out all the exposition, then we good.
Omg yes!!! Don't tell us, show us! That's why it's a show.
Hopefully they will. Im not expecting a 1 for 1 recreation but going from a damn near perfect animated show to live action is quite the challenge
i truly believe the reason there's so much exposition is because writers know how dead media literacy is lol. people nowadays need EVERYTHING explaining to them while watching a show/movie and believe if smth isn't outright said then it Must be a plothole. just this past week avatar fans have been coming out with the worst takes in history all over twitter, just proving how much they didn't understand the show or characters 😅
This episode and the first one, were to me the best of the season. The rest felt meh to me. But episode 6 they really nailed it
Finally! I was waiting for this episode for you guys to react to ❤
I think in general many, even the ones who didn't like the series liked this particular episode. They may have missed the opportunity with koh but the rest is chef's kiss.
I liked the adding the back story of why zuko has the crew he does, but that’s one of the only things I truly really liked that they did. These are the type of changes I wanted ones that added depth to the story and reasoning. Not changing plot points, character arcs, and other things with imo seemingly no reason. I just can’t get over the fact that it felt like there was no purpose to the changes so it was hard for me to get on board with. No reason to make it word for word and one for one but it feels so different to me and maybe that’s just my nostalgia speaking. Thinking of this show outside of the cartoon and something separate I can appreciate it more and even like it because it is entertaining. So for my own sanity I’ve decided it’s an alternate universe because it lets me enjoy it more than I really feel.
I’ve been waiting for the angi Kai reaction
ZUKO IS AMAZINGGG
I hope you guys keep in mind that a lot of people just hate it because its different. Their obsessed love for the original clouds their judgement, even when something is done better and more realistic these people will never admit that. In my opinion these people are very nitpicky and i think a straight up copy from the cartoon is unrealistic and also quite boring. I dont understand why people pretend like the original is perfect and has 0 flaws(example aangs sudden struggle in the last season of having to kill ozai while before having killed and hurt LOADS of innocent people fighting and never having a problem with it)
Even tho some things are done a bit different you cant deny that this is done with keeping the love for the source material.
I agree with you. I myself was guilty of that at first. The first time I watched it, I didn't like it. But I've learned over the years to give things a 2nd chance (I HATED Pulp Fuction the 1st time I saw it, but fell in love with it the 2nd time). So with that in mind, I watched this show again and was able to appreciate it much more. I still don't LOVE the show, but I can say now that I like the show, despite its flaws, namely the acting, which I hope will improve in the upcoming seasons.
On my opinion it's the best episode in 1st season.
i love this ep as well!
Some are 'mad' about the changes that happened with Roku's character, Aang's 'flying' to name a few, but little did they know that this episode and the first one were actually co-written by the OG creators Bryan and Mike. Yes, they were involved with the live-action, contrary to reports that they have no involvement with the series. They were credited as co-writers of episodes 1 & 6 along w/ showrunner Albert Kim.
And then walked out. lmao, you're a fool if you think original writers and producers, etc. ever get a proper say in a project. When something is rebooted, they hardly ever listen to the original material
Yess my favorite episode
I wish ang acted more like ang like he’s definitely not like as goofy it’s like they went straight for looks I think sokas the best fit out of the cast
He is goofy irl, but the writing did him dirty
Badd medicine... is back 🔫
best ep for sure
I liked it very much.😊
Second best episode imo.
What's the best for u?
This episode was good, but the order that they told the story was a complaint i saw online that didn't really hit me until this episode. The episode itself was good but could have been amazing with some changes in editing. Still my fav episode i think
3 words Daniel Dae Kim! 😅😅😅😊👀😍
This episode broke my heart😭 and I hate Zhao so much, the actor is doing a fantastic job 🙌🏻😂
you guys should definitely react to the show transformers prime I think you'd enjoy it
Salaar reaction guyssss
It's unbelievable that you didn't react to SALAAR:- part 1 - Ceasefire yet🤷😅 I'm waiting for that for a long time...Pls react to it, I really enjoy your reaction guys❤
I would love to see you guys react to Dubbed My Hero Academia now that (what I think is) the last season is coming out soon
Finally
Waiting for salaar
Can Yall Do Invincible And X-Men 97 Already?
When will you guys reacting to Invincible s02e05
Dissappointed that they mashed together two of my favourite episodes from the animation. I was so waiting for the hunt and sucking of the frogs, lol. But seriously, I think they are too busy with these episodes in some extend. Maybe they had not thought about doing more seasons than this one originaly. The choises of showing more back stories is gold though, very good script work.
You guys shouldn’t want a shot for shot replica. Why the fuck would anyone want that?
In the end I like it but the new season should stick close to the original as possible they should take their time
Many folks have pointed out that they are incorporating things from the comics, many of which were co-authored by the original creators. I'm not saying that should sway your opinion, but it does explain some of the changes that were made and that not all of them are random changes.
