2:45 Chapter 3
21:58 Chapter 4
About Kyoshi's fans. Kyoshi's mother used to be an airbender but because she left the airbenders and started living a less spiritual/"spiritually pure" life (aka, kinda became a criminal) started loosing some of her bending. She used her fans to keep her bending power on her normal level. Years later Kyoshi becomes the avatar and has difficulty bending small things, big things come easy but small detailed bending doesn't. She finds her mother's fans and starts using them with her own bending making them guide her when she bends and using them as an aid for bending smaller things.
It's been ages since I've read the books so feel free to correct me if I remembered something wrong :)
Fun fact: Agni Kai gets its name from the Hindu god of fire and the Sanskrit word for fire - “अग्नि (Agni)” and the Japanese word “会 (kai)” meaning meeting. So literally, it means ‘Fire Meeting’. You could also say “kai” is from Hawaiian, as that translates to sea, and call it ‘The Sea of Fire’.
What’s different with “Previously on Avatar” is that it’s not always the previous episode. It will give you information from episodes way back, letting the audience know that questions from previous episodes are going to be addressed or that previous plot lines will be advanced or concluded… it’s SO gooooood 😁
Yeah I remember the recap on “The Blind Bamdit” showed Aangs vision back in “The Swamp” and Bumi’s advice way back then after no mention before. Which makes sense since they play a key role in that episode.
I also love how they always portray the Avatar State as like a horror thing. The music, the atmosphere, the frightened faces... They do such a good job at showing that Aang is NOT in control at the moment and is capable of killing everybody around him. The terror and danger of the Avatar State when it's not in control is emphasized SO well.
Another thing: Suki is NOT the first girl to call Sokka out on his sexism; Katara straight-up USED the word "sexist" in episode ONE 😂
When shows write traumatized characters properly (Zuko, Todoroki, Hunter, etc.), they’re top tier! Yes, you want them to find a good therapist. But you also can’t help but falling in love with them 💕
Yes. Absolutely yes. And if you didn’t make ATLA jokes during the Owl House you’re a moron.
@@LaineMann I-… I definitely wouldn’t go that far. Calling someone a… Are you okay? 😅
@@Nameless_mixes yeah. I’m fine. Are you?
As someone who wants to get into writing I want to strike that perfect balance between the audience wanting them to get therapy versus staying unhelped to keep the train going.
best part is that sookas character development actually sticks and he never reverts back to being sexist at all. I believe from here on out he also slowly moprhs more into the 'comedy' role.
I'm pretty sure he was being sexist in ba sing say when he stumbled into a poetry slam and the girls kick his ass or the body guard chase him away
nah, he was flirting and objected to the teacher looking down on him but that wasnt misogyny
@@tex6579 oh ok
Suki is to really thank for Sokkas character development. She had a big part in that. Their endgame.
HI Thomas, here's your answer on the fans per the books: Kyoshi's mother was an Airbender who left the Air Nomads but took her fans (if I remember correctly, she also lost her spirituality and beinding ability because she became a bandit). Kyoshi kept them to help her handle more miniscule bending because her raw power was so great that she normally would chuck mountains at people if she wasn't using a focus like her mother's fans.
24:45 I love how in Legend of Korra there is a picture of Aang doing this trick with that excat same face. Shows how he never really changed when he got older. Still had that 112 year old sould when he was in his even older age.
ALTA’s worldbuilding is one of the most satisfying EVER.
I LOVE THAT YOU'RE DOING THIS SERIES! The way you dissect content, your observations and your humor are A BREATH OF FRESH AIR ON THIS SITE!
I love how for a good many episodes Zhao is the most evil fire bender in the show, until the flash back episode and we meet Ozai who immediately shows everyone watching the show that he is a straight up monster compared to Zhao
This show remains one of the best of all time
4:03 in the navy, commander usually is below captain, and given he is in the navy, he technically got demoted, not promoted XD
LMAOO
I feel so bad for Aang I want to hug him and at the same time I really love these character’s character arc
16:14. Actually Agni Kai is made from two terms. "Agni" refers to 1) The Sanskrit word for Fire and 2) The Hindu/Vedic Fire God of the same name; Agni. "Kai" is a Japanese word that means "Meeting". It usually used in a business/professional context for a meeting between two or more people.
So the term "Agni Kai" can be translated as "Fire (God) Meeting" which is so appropriate considering it's a duel between Fire Benders.
Are you sure “Kai” means meeting?
Don’t worry it makes sense.
@@nearn8517 Yes. In Japanese the word Kaigi 会議 can be read as "meeting". The first character of the word 会 or Kai can also mean meeting when written by itself. Hence where the Kai part can come from. Japanese is a language where words have multiple different means depending on context. For example, Kai depending on the character used to write it can mean things like "ocean" (海), "shell" (貝), "open" (開), and more.
@@bradleyharris774 gotcha. Thank you.
What's nice is there is one filler episode in this entire series, with the exception of this one episode every single episode builds the world. Not many shows do that, this is literally the only show I can think of that does this
I noticed that interestingly, unlike other Earth Kingdom towns/cities, Kyoshi Island locals wear blue (usually the colour of the Water Tribes) rather than the typical green, tan or brown of the nation.
I love the commentary of ATLA! One thing I love about the show is that there is always so much that happens in one episode, we discover more about the characters in the show,and the backgrounds of the environments are absolutely GORGEOUS!!!!
TOPH is my favourite character btw.
It is bit like Bloom finding out she is only one left in Domino and she had dwell that she couldnt get Enchantix because of that.
36:05 I may be wrong, I don't remember where I read it, maybe it's fan thoughts at all. But Kyoshi used fans to strengthen and simplify her airbending. Because being the opposite element to her in both origin and character, the air had to be the most difficult element to master for her . And the fans they were an inheritance from her mother
Haven't read the novels in a while, but I'm pretty sure it was earthbending. Like she could only bend big rocks, but not small pebbles.
the using a fan to strengthen their airbending was her kyoshi 's mother i believe?? since her mom was one
Fun fact - the first time previously on avatar appeared in an episode was in episode 6 of book two, after that they retroactively added this segment to the previous episodes.
It also means that Roku's voice wasn't foreshadowing anything since it was almost an entire season after roku first spoke in the show
Gosh I love the Kyoshi island episode. It’s my favorite mostly because Sokka gets a reality check but also the trip to the air temple was really sad. Like Fire benders managed to find the last of the nomads and Aang was “missing” for a whole hundred years.
I'm loving this series so far! We stan ATLA
I can't believe I knew you were playing the correct horse music when I wasn't looking at the screen. Incredible video. Best video.
Please keep the ATLA content coming I live for these videos now they’re great!!♥️♥️
poor Aang. the way he has to find out what happened. i doubt katara and sokka could have changed the outcome much, but i still wished they(mostly katara) told a bit more of the truth and didnt try to protect him as much, even though i fully understand and in their situation i probably would have done the same.
The Agni in Agni Kai seems to refer to the god of fire Agni.
Aang's eyes and tattoo glowing is also because he has no control over it. In the finale (spoilers for ATLA and LOK)
He finally gets control and gets the glow that then disappears. Korra does the same thing. Though it is sad they nerfed it. Like with how strong a bender Korra is, her in the avatar state should have been crazy. The best thing I can remember is the fight against Zaheer with the poison.
I love this series so much. Thank you for spending time to make them! It makes my day to hear your hilarious commentary. It’s like having a witty friend to rewatch it with - quite therapeutic! I’m looking forward to more episodes :)
I think (at least a possible reason i made up off the top of my head) the Fire Nation didn't completely obliterate the Air Temples as like a symbol of their dominance. Like 'see what we did...yes allot of our soldiers were fridged by an old man, but look what we did.' I mean that is the kind of thing the Fire Nation of that time would have done...at least thats my personal theory but it could also be as simple as everyone died during the seige even the Fire Nation soldiers, and since they'd already won there was no point destroying what was left.
Edit: Also i love Sukki. Sukki is an amazing character, and i love how important she is to Sokka's character too, teaching him humility and making him a better character. When i first watched the show a couple years ago, i was fully expecting to dislike Sokka but within 3 episodes he grew so damn much he became my favourite character for a majority of the show. And we got Sukki out of it.
I already know this series is gonna take half a decade to come out, but the commentary so worth the wait
I’m gonna need that “this Krew ain’t it” video
The whole not saying kill and all that thing is not cause of the writers. It’s cause of the network airing the show.
The staff of Invader Zim revealed via commentary that the powers that be would force them to undo a character dying (like Keef in Best Friends and that annoying kid in Game Slave 2) to the point that when they saw a character die on screen they were surprised that it got past the censors.
Also the staff of the og Rugrats admitted that they weren’t allowed to right out say that Chuckie’s mom died so they had to work around it in order to tell the story they wanted to tell. Heck the staff of Korra said that they were surprised they got the ok to have that certain scene in the final episode of S1.
ATLA came out in 2005 which is well after IZ and that Rugrats episode so it’s likely that those running things were finally easing up on the no kill/death thing hence why ATLA was able to actual say those words.
I love these videos because I get to learn something new about shows that I already love ( never made the connection about the earth kingdom's size because of the majority of the world being landmass) can't wait until the next video!😊❤
Fun fact : Zhao is the only atla caracther thats name comes from chinese
Remember Zhao was on the legend of korra going crazy in the spirit world I just remembered that 😂
Yeah it was hilarious 😂😂 he was like do you know who I am
Tension was like who the hell is this B!tch
Zhou was just spiraling insane
15:17 Yangchen, I know that’s you doing it
Oh my gosh, I totally forgot this episode was so early in the series! And such a fun one, too!
I don't exactly know about the Kai-Part in Agni Kai, but Agni is the Hindu word for fire
Kai is the Hawaiian word for sea.
Sea of fire. A pretty apt description for Zuko's Agni Kai against Azula at the finale.
@@supersaiyandiclonius3056 I just locked it up and appearently, kăi is also a Chinese character meaning Triumph or victory. Also works pretty well I guess
Suki was a Girlboss period we stan
I read the first Kyoshi book it was great
Thank. You!!! You can be a badass while still holding onto archetypes/stereotypes of femininity! It definitely seems like more of a modern thing where it feels like writers are like “We must make all of our female characters ‘tomboys’ or ‘one of the guys’ so that they’re a strong, female character!” Like… No, you don’t! There’s power in embracing both aspects traditionally associated with masculinity AND femininity. Ironically, portraying strong female characters as only the ones that reject their femininity (or feminine stereotypes) feels misogynistic in nature. It’s giving “I’m not like most girls” syndrome. There definitely needs to be more representation of BOTH female characters that like to be feminine AND those that maybe are more reserved and/or masculine. Having it one way or the other just invalidates a large portion of the audience and who they are.
I’m sorry of none of what I said makes sense. I kind of started rambling a bit there 😅💕
Most female characters aren't tomboys though. Most popular female characters are feminine or Hyperfeminine and then thevother category is average women. I've yet to see an actually masculine female character! Like Toph is the only tomboy character in avatar.
Also being reserved isn't a masculine trait. Alot of girls are pretty shy or stoic.
Ok but now I wonder:
#1. Do these Statues shine everytime an Avatar enters the Avatar State?
#2. How do they shine? Are they spiritually linked to the Avatar State?
I think that it shines the first time an Avatar sees a statue of spirtual connection to their past life. Also, I think it only shines when the Avatar sees a statue resembling their past life for the first time and when an important event happens (like the Solstice) and that Avatar needs guidance immediately as they cannot access the Spiritual world as of yet. However, this is my theory as I don't think it has ever been mentioned anywhere.
I feel like another quote for 4:50 coupd be that John Maulaney "Now we dont have time to unpack AAALL of that"
I really want a thomas clip reference Novimpia style video one day cuz i alway slove these cut aways and background sound. Favs include the Bratz " Ewww" and the " Let me pretend i Care .... Ok Done"
Have you ever wondered how badass Suki could have been had she been a Paladin?
I love how Sokka starts as misogynistic but very quickly gets better and even adds something to the group by being a warrior himself as well as being the most brilliant tactician in the show. I feel like other shows would make a sexist character only to have them be the butt of the joke, forever. Sokka's development demonstrates that while sexism is wrong, it's not too late for people to change.
It's weird that warrior fans aren't used by the FN and AN, considering metal fans can be used for lightening redirection and paper fans to channel wind.
I think the use for airbending was explored in the kyoshi novels, but i have no clue how fans can help with lighting. I feel like that would be like holding a metal rod in a storm.
@@ltfamily8577 I haven't read the novels yet! I imagine metal fans help by channeling the lightening from your body to the fan, allowing it to come out in several bolts, if done correctly. As for redirecting, the fan could take the lightening in, softening the blow as the bender redirects it. I'm almost certain there's a way for non-fire benders to use it to combat lightening, rhough.
@Optical Sorcerer I can see a firebender using it to easily catch any stray lightning and for longer reach to redirect the lightning, but lightning bending is exclusive to firebenders and I doubt it would work for anyone without firebending so still kind of a metal rod in a storm.
I think any non fire bender would be fried to death if they tried that as a way to redirect lightning. You have to take it into your hand, through your stomach, and out the other hand. Which is something only a firebender can with stand. Anyone else would most likely get shocked and die like a normal human. Metal is like a conductor for electricity i think. I'm not trying to argue, though, just brainstorming.
@@ltfamily8577 Perhaps these are developed specifically for firebenders during ATLA (perhaps being made of copper), and by TLOK, they've made a thicker, more absorbant shield-like fan that can repel lightning for non-firebenders. Perhaps a super durable rubber-like material? Plus when you fold it, chi blockers could use it as an extension of their arms to block chi points at a greater distance.
Of course, lightening redirection was inspired by the water tribe, so there are creative ways to come up with redirection, I suppose.
@Optical Sorcerer Perhaps they could make a fan out of material that only exists in the atla world, but then again fans are small things and you would need a lot of pure rubber to protect from lightning so at that point would it even look and function like a fan? It might be too thick. Perhaps they can make a material that attracts lightning like metal does but absorbs it like rubber. I heard wood is good for lightning as well, but that may just catch fire.
Then again, I think the fear of lightning comes from the fact that the best you can do is dodge it or learn redirection. Without that fear, lightning loses the edge it gives its wielders because then anyone could defend from it, and then the story just doesn't hit the same.
No because saying that we wouldn't have anything that looks good without femininity is speaking straight facts.
I think the Air Nomads ate based on Tibetan culture,^ after reading The Skull Mantra by: Eliot Pattison, wow, the parrells.
I love your voice Thomas!
I reacently finished this seroes for around the 9th time but im comleatly for it watching it the 10 th time with your comantary
ALL of the characters need some form of therapy. not just zuko and Aang, but ALL OF THEM
Jesus this show got dark very quickly
28:10 YES!!! Please do some W.I.T.C.H videos. I feel like they are really underappreciated.
11:14 CLAYMATION!!! and also invader Zim was airing at this time as well sooooooo
Sokka gets a lot of growth as a character throughout the show.
Comander Zhao looks like a pedo by asking a teenage boy to join him for a drink. I know he's evil but geez.
Katara ignoring Aang, WTF?
And yes Aang is an attention w**re.
So Sokka wearing a dress gets mocked but Aang using fans to help with air-bending is fine.
Girl isn't a; personality, skillset, list of interests or limitation.
Aang was being genuine though. Sokka was offended by the comment, but Aaang wasn't making fun of him. Flowerchikd goofball Aaang making fun of Sokka for wearing a dress? Lol.
The Kyoshi books do go into the history of the fans and I highly recommend checking them out if you're interested in something that further explores the Avatar world, while still staying true to the things that made ATLA so special. Korra fell flat in a lot of ways for me but the books truly feel like expansions on ATLA, for an adult audience. Also they're so gay. Just read them.
I think the fans are a nod to air bending cause I think Kyoshi’s mom was like a disgraced runaway air nun
hey, please update your avatar playlist!! the Korra vid isn't on there and the vid about the krew isn't either. thank you!!
omg i love this channe; already
Fyi, Agni Kai sounds more badass than its translation. Literally just means "fire meeting". You were probably better off not knowing that bit of trivia.
"Last time on dragon ball z"
Oof, r.i.p. toriyama
PLEASE MAKE A VIDEO ON POP PIXIE
EVERYTHING'S BEAUTIFUL WHEN U BELIEVE IN MAGICCCCCCCCCC
Do they explain where the sky bison's of Legend of Korra come from? It was implied in the Last Airbender series that all of the Air Nomads, sky bison, and even the Flying Lemurs (so how the heck is Momo around?) Were killed off with Aang and Appa being all that is left of the Air nomads and Sky Bisons. Aang makes sense since he is human and can pass on the legacy of the Air Nomads to Tenzin, but Appa? He's the only Sky Bison left. And Aang even says that the three of them are all that is left of the Air Nomads and the creatures they were closest to. Sorry for being repetitive but its just something i needed to ask
In the comics, it is mentioned that they found a small pack of air bisons that managed to escape the destruction but were now being poached. This may also have been shown in Korra's show but I am unsure. Just remembering reading somewhere that they found a small colony of them somewhere and decided to raise and bond with them.
@@TheMbangelno they relocated to an island off the coast of the fire nation and when we first learned about avatar Juan that island was were the bison were found
Bit of a late reply, but as for how Momo is still around ended up being a bit of an orphaned plot point, he was at one point planned to be a reincarnation of Monk Gyatso, but that ended up getting canned.
I have exams tomorrow, but there are more important things
Slayyyyyyyyyyyyy ❤❤❤❤❤❤ your backkkkkkkkkkk
I actually don't like how Suki falls for Sokka because it feels like it appeals to misogyny--"we can't have a woman actually be a badass; we have to make sure our male protag one ups her and saves her from her own stupidity! That'll keep things balanced!!--and like, she wasn't even a blip on Sokka's radar until she became the literal only option. Seriously don't understand how people thought they were couple goals when it took a woman committing suicide to eveb make them a thing.
Agni is the Hindu god of fire and also a used as their word for fire, they call an Agni Kai a fire duel so I would imagine Kai is a word for fight or duel though I'm not sure.
READ the Kyoshi books! ⚠️
Can u do Winx season 7 or 8 commentary?
Why is there so little likes ???? It's the fricking AVATAR THE LAST AIRBENDER 😍
