    Why is the music good? This is a question I began to ask myself more the older I got. The idea to actually make a video out of it started since just before the series was released to Netflix. So, I guess that's all of quarantine, dang it's been long. Anyway, needless to say, I've been working on this for a long time, and I've never done one of these videos essays before, but I think I started to get the hang of it by the end.

      Man, that's sooo sad 😭 He's so traumatised that when he asks for forgiveness, instead of getting hurt again, he is *surprised* that he receives a hug... Guys, it shocks him - he didn't see it coming. He might be a teenager whose acting mature (most of the time) by season 3, but he's still a child - he is used to abuse and therefore fears the reaction, especially anger, of people close to him because he grew up in fear... Man. That's heavy for a kid's show, and it's why Avatar is so great: it didn't doubt children's intelligence for a second, and also showed us what happened to children as the result of generational trauma and war.

    The main thing I love about the Last Agni Kai track is that it sounds sad, it sounds TRAGIC. And that's because it is. In other fire fights, the music is at the very least energetic, and like, worthy of being played during a fight, because that's what they are. Fights.
    The Last Agni Kai is not a fight. It is a tragedy. Ozai abused Zuko and Azula for basically their entire lives and now, because of that, you have a 14yo girl initiating a fight to the death with her 16yo brother. There is no glory in this, no martial struggle, no victory to be gained at the end, and the music reflects that.
    The music in every other fight in this show reflects the fight it's about. The music here only reflects the tragedy that is happening.

    2:17 I think the Avatar’s Love theme being played in this scene can be tied back to how it’s utilized when team Avatar is in a state of safety and security after a state of conflict.
    The fact that it plays here can symbolize how Zuko is finally, after years of being met with hostility by his father, sister, and self, he’s at the place where he is the most safe: in the arms of the only family member who truly (and currently, excluding his mother) loves him, which is Iroh. It also illustrates how the years of conflict he’s had within himself that he always had taken out on Iroh has finally been put at rest with Iroh’s forgiveness and relentless love. It also grounds the fact that Zuko is truly part of the Gaang as it now includes him as a character eligible for the theme to be played for.

      That exactly what I thought. If avatar's love theme represents "the danger is now over and we are safe" for team avatar, it shows that Zuko came to safety in finding his identify as being a part of team avatar. The danger of his conflicting Identity is now over. The resolution of the song representing his conflict of identity resolves with the theme of safety for team avatar.

    14:53 when this scene and song pop up I can’t help but cry every time. It’s just a reaction I can’t help, it happens every time to me. It’s so good and I feel the emotions of the entire show just finally release within that moment. Everything the gaang worked out and dealt through has finally ended and they are happy. Peace isn’t even enough to describe what type of emotions come through in that scene. It’s something I haven’t felt before I feel like, but watching it alone makes me wish I knew what that feeling was in real life. Total complete release. Anyway I really love this fuckin show and I’m glad I stumbled upon this video that talks about the banger music.

    This video was amazing. Some brilliant information and conclusions were in this.
    It does feel a little rough, and I say this as a non creator so don’t take it overly serious but some of the empty spaces at the beginning and the length of the video make it feel a little less professional. They don’t bother me personally but I think with some smoothing out and possibly making it into two or three videos, it may get more views. Most People have short attention spans and need short bursts of information or something to entertain the eyes while listening to an in-depth and Fascinating video like this. You did great through most of it but early on there were some spots that could have lost some people if they gave up on it too early. It defiantly didn’t lose me but not everyone grasps music the same way or as easily.
    I’m not sure if I am articulating my comment well and don’t want you to think I dislike the video. I love it and it’s one of my favorite videos about ATLA, I was just trying my hand at being constructive and pointing out minor issues because I believe this video deserves way more recognition. I want to start creating myself but I have a hard time putting what’s in my head to practice, but I have watched hours of other videos and I try to pick up some stuff from them that I’m trying to communicate here but I’m not sure I’m doing very well lol.
    In short, amazing video. It really is great and your personality and voice are really good for this.

  • @ChannelingChinez
    @ChannelingChinez 8 месяцев назад +1

    I love this video. And from this- I noticed that Iroh has 2 theme songs too. He has leaves from the vine. Which I think is about his plot and winter spring summer & fall song for his story. I could be swapping those. I think leaves from the vine is about him coping with the loss of his son through the journey of helping others. And how that heals him also. While winter-spring is about how uncle Iroh evolves as a character into a humble man who enjoys the small/simple aspects of life above being highly regarded for his achievements. And yet still manages to be highly regarded. You may never see this but I’d love to know your thoughts.

  • @hansdykstra3869
    @hansdykstra3869 4 месяца назад

    I think the Final Agnai Kai song using the theme of the cross roads and Zuko dealing with his destiny in a solidified way also represent Azula. Both characters have chosen their path, their destiny. They have been set on this path of destruction, of fighting each other, of tragedy. They have been set in their ways and there was no way of circumventing this tragic fight. That is why the theme's as a resolution is so somber. It was the destiny Zuko needed to do but that does not mean it is a triumphant one. It is the child that never escaped the father's abuse ow threatening the world needing to be stopped the child who learned from and escaped the father's abuse. It isn't her fault (entirely), she was put on this path by her father and was never taught how to really deal with the world in any other way. It is so tragic that the only one who can stop her is her brother. They really mastered the music by making it so somber while still having that sense of finality and sturdiness.

      DUDE! Right!??? There is just such care given to every second of this show, even beyond speaking only musically. Looking at the music alone should be an indication of how much care was given to all the other aspects if the show. But yeah, I was losing my mind holding all this info my brain when I was discovering it. I will say though, I'm not fully convinced that the composers were doing this on purpose, since this is the only instance of this I found, and it's so subtle. But I heard it put once, that it doesn't matter if it was intentionally or not, because what it does is show that music has the capability to tell story in this incredibly intricate way, and to me... that's cool enough :)

I’m curious on your opinion on the music in Legend of Korra, which is one of the few things I think they actually did just as well if not better than ATLA (not saying it’s bad, just that ATLA is better in most ways) and also your opinion on the new live action ATLA. I think you’d have a lot of great notes on what they could do to improve, and one huge thing is better implementation of the music!

Iroh to me has always embodied the ideals of Roku, while Zuko has tried to live up to Sozin. So in this scene. It’s the *avatar’s love*, yes, but it’s not *Aang’s* love.

    Ever since I heard The Last Agni Kai, that is the score that plays in my head whenever I start unhealthily ruminating about the worsening social and political tensions in my country. However, Peace almost always somehow takes over before I could get too overwhelmed by my worries for the future, reminding me that not everything has been corrupted, and as run-of-the-mill as it sounds, I could still have control over my own destiny.

    A second element of The Last Agni Kai theme that I think plays into Zuko's story is the fact that it sounds sad. Considering the contrast between his arc and Azula's arc, it's easy to see why. Throughout the show Zuko had been struggling most with choosing between determining his own destiny and trying to earn his father's love, and Azula was the one influencing him toward the latter. Although he knew Azula always lies and manipulates, he believed her out of a desperate hope for his father's acceptance. Later, he realized his family had been torn apart and their reputation marred because of the manipulation; his father played both son and daughter from the time they were small, and Zuko eventually became resolute in his decision to break away from that mentally (and physically) abusive cycle. His sister, however, chose to remain within the cycle. He knows she's beyond redemption, but that's what hurts him--deep down he wants Azula to break free of that cycle too, to undergo a similar journey that he had taken to realize the truth, but her decision to stay--and seeing the devastating consequences of that decision--breaks his heart. Additionally, Zuko will never truly know what it is to have a sibling on his side; unlike Sokka and Katara, the dynamic between Zuko and Azula has always been one of suspense and subversion, never of trust and peace. And it all came to this, a family at war with itself, a battle that should never be but unfortunately is. It's legitimate reason for grief, and we connect with his grief through the music. Yet another reason why the score is so masterfully composed, making the show stand out as one of the best in cinematic history.

    This might be insane to admit, but when I was a kid, I didn’t understand why ppl cared so much about music until I heard the music of ATLA. The ATLA soundtrack was my gateway to falling in love with instrumental and classical and contemporary classical music. Now I’m normal and I listen to rock and i appreciate all sorts of genres, but ATLA was my first eye opening “music is spiritual, music is everything” moment. I used to need the ATLA soundtrack for me to sleep without nightmares.

    Music is packed with such emotion, it is essentially its messenger. you could watch a scene with only dialogue and understand the message or feel pain and happiness. however when listening to music from a scene without the visuals or dialogue the whole flood of emotions will hit you without thinking (speaking from my experience watching your video).
    I appreciate how you explained the music in ways that people like me, a music lover but not a musician can understand. I wish you made more videos about the other musical pieces in avatar or maybe even korra.

Thus it also never resolves...until the final time it is played right before and during their final kiss in the final scene. Neat eh? It's not as cool as your discovery but I'm glad I finally have someone to mention this to that may appreciate it...
