Aang vs Ozai but they use their words

- I feel like the fact Aang was so fixated on not killing Ozai kind of took away all the drama of if he could beat him. Aang beating him was such a foregone conclusion, Aang was just worried about what would happen after he beat him.
As a side bar, if you think about it, General Fong was like 99% in the right. Aang could have used the Avatar State to beat Ozai, all Aang needed to do to control it was just to kind of think a little bit.
I guess Ozai could have got a lucky lightning shot in though. Plus, Aang may not have slept walked onto the Lion Turtle, so he could have another death on his conscience.

Aang sounds like AI, Ozai sounds like you actually got Mark Hamil involved
The algorithm seems to just like certain voices over others. Like how it works better with Matt Lanter rather than with Hayden Christenson for some reason.
AI do be like that
also probs makes a difference how close the acting voice is to the AI'ed voice. Seals's voice being transformed into a kid's voice probably leaves way more artifacts than when it goes to the voice of a grown man.
but i don't know. maybe they are in fact a trenchcoat full of birds. completely unlike me.

I never thought I'd find a video that encapsulates my problems with the show's climax so thoroughly.
Aang's pacifism was a major part of the show even early on. It's mentioned as a major part of aor nomad culture that he cares a lot about and he brings it up at Karoshi, with Jet, to Sokka on a number of occasions, etc. So the OP just doesn't remember the show there. In fact, none of his examples of Aang killing people actually happened except the first one, and that happened when Aang was possessed by his past lives and not in control of his actions. And he still felt so much guilt over those deaths that it made it more difficult for him to enter the state at will later on.
The fact that chakras can be manipulated by force was already addressed with Ty Lee and Katara. Aang had already let go of his attachments. He had just been damaged in a way that blocked his chakras.
The spirit turtle was foreshadowed by the explanations of how each of the primordial benders learned how to specialize in specific elements. As early as the first season, it was strongly implied that there were people capable of bending before they learned to water bend from the moon. The same is true with the moles' earth bending, and the dragons' fire bending. It maybe was a little tacked on, granted, but it wasn't a deus ex machina, either.
@@lucyferos205A little"? Dude energy bending is a fucking WILDLY different concept compared to regular bending or even chakras. Turtle energy bending was not even remotely foreshadowed, just that they existed. Literally the ONLY thing that was said about them up until the climax was, and I quote:
Aang: "Hey, look at these weird lion turtle things."
Sokka: "Eh, I've seen weirder"
That's it. Lion turtle was a giant deus ex machina, especially considering Aang didn't even have to work for it and literally sleepwalks into the answer of his moral dilemma. That's just shit writing.
And regardless of Aang's whole Chakra being unlocked already, it doesn't matter. For a show with such clever and thought out writing, it's such an ass pull for them to make Aang just so happen to hit his back the exact way to unblock his Chakra.
Can we please stop acting like this show doesn't have any faults?
@@lucyferos205 You’re being far too generous, my friend
@@bevvvy1374
Avatar is such a great show that even people who would ordinarily be able to judge it fairly will still fall victim to either nostalgia or flaw-blindness. It’s too easy to overlook its issues.
@@bevvvy1374 There was also the bit with Pian Dao (sp?), Sokka's swordmaster, saying that he had a heart "as strong as a lionturtle".
But, in essense, I do agree that energybending was a bit of a deus ex machina.
I once read a fic (unfortunately don't remember the name) where Ty Lee and Mai escaped with Zuko during The Boiling Rock and that lead to Aang asking Ty Lee about Chi Blocking and if there was a way to make it permanent, which lead to Aang burning Ozai's Chi Paths instead of using Energy Bending, meaning that Aang managed to stick to his principles by using something previously established in the series teached by a known character, instead of a random turtle teaching him an unknown ability in the previous to last episode.
But than we would not have a Lion Turtle...
Edited; Oh and a plot line for Korra story... than again, it would makes better sense than have the antagonist learn how to remove elements with no explanation.
@@johnathanholmes1297maybe make a villain that doesn't rely on that same gimmick then
@@NeutralGuyDoubleZero I just made a joke while also pointing out the stupid idea of Amon learning a way to remove bending.
@@johnathanholmes1297He doesn’t exactly “take away bending” as he just permanently blocks chakra points with blood bending. Basically a permennt chi-blocking like described in the original comment. So actually Amon would have made *more* sense if Aang blocked bending the way described above. Because Amon would simply be doing the same thing as Aang except permenantly chi blocking in a different way.
Plus since Aang did so to Amon’s father, it’s not unreasonable to assume Amon examined his father’s chi and chakra points to see what happened and was able to use that chi-blocking aftermath to reverse engineer a method to do it himself with blood bending. I think that makes a bit more sense than Aang randomly getting energy bending, and then Amon magically coming up with this blood bending technique from nowhere.
At least the way I described is a clear series of events connected together that explain how each technique was formed and went on to influence the next y’kno?
@@princeytron So basically, Aang pretty much discover a stronger version of Ty Lee pressure point that doesn't make you limb.
To be fair, he DID overcome his attachments to others when he stopped trying to help katara in the caves and just meditated while she fought for her life. That's why he went into the avatar state there and then.
The reason he couldn't go into it after that is his ki got blocked when he FUCKING DIED from getting electrocuted through his whole body. ki is life force, and his life force in the most literal way got stopped in its tracks in the heart of that scar.
The blow to the back un-blocking him was kind of random and deus ex pure-luck, but if like they had done an episode where they meet up with the kiyoshi warriors and ty lee had examined/unblocked him intentionally I think nobody would have complained. Could have been a good alternative to nightmares and daydreams tbh since that episode is kinda hated.
I've had the same thought! Ty Lee's the key!
It would be good too to give some redemptive quality to Ty Lee, apart from helping out against Azula. It would be cool to see her helping out a bit more!
Aang could have even learned the technique to block Ozai's bending without the need of EB
People hate that episode? That one is up there with sokka tripping balls in the desert.
@@Gr3nadgr3gory it doesn't get super hard hate, but yeah a lot of people (myself included) feel like it was like, the one filler episode they threw in that really didn't serve a purpose. It just kind of exists and is inconsequential and goofy in a way that a lot of us just didn't really find compelling or funny.
It's not terrible, but it's for sure my least favorite episode of the series.
Plot bending is the most powerful bending technique of them all.

"Sozin's Comet enhances *my* Firebending, too, though..."
My exact thoughts!
To me the worst part of any anime with battles is the internal monologs or flashbacks. Avatar excelled in building characters and having heavy plot deciding battles that relied on what we knew of the characters to show the importance of their actions.
Avatar isn’t an anime
@@Soul.ResonantAs cj Dachamp always says. Avatar may be inspired by anime, but it isn't an anime.
It's because Avatar is a cartoon everything you praised is in the DNA of cartoon/western animation fight scenes it's one of the reason I don't enjoy anime.
thank God it's not an anime LMAO
@@thefirstone4864
That's a stupid reason to not enjoy an entire country's worth of shows, because you don't enjoy certain elements in mainstream anime, which don't exist in like prior to like 90s or 80s.
I know this was a joke, but I honestly wanted them to genuinely talk and Aang to convince Ozai to be peaceful like in Naruto.
wouldve been cool ngl
Wouldn't work like, Ozai did so much shit the Geneva convention would have to update the rules
I mean besides the fourth wall break they did talk
Ozai's point was that Aang couldnt win let alone do so while keeping his morals without convenient shit given to him and that everyone, including his mentors, saw his ideals as flawed and even he broke them while in the Avatar state and if he wants him to step down so badly it will be he who will have to deal with the geopolitical nightmare that estabilishing peace between the 4 nations will be after a hundred years of war, while Ozai if he was allowed to win would simply blaze through it by killing the opposition which is perfectly within the scope of his morals who are evil but at very least coherent with his position and goals
If Aang can learn Talk No Jutsu, can he learn Shadow Clone Jutsu too?
Oh god, it's Talk No Jutsu bending.
Ozai: that’s dumb
Aang: your face is dumb
I love how Ozai doesn’t even refute it he just accepts it and moves on.
Seems like Ozai could have also mentioned that Aang is standing in front of the smoldering wreckage of an airship with at least dozens of crewmen on it that he just shot down.
Aang could counter that by mentioning killing them was not his goal, while assassinating Ozai was original idea of him being here. One case is clearly self defense, the other case starts to look like planned homicidel
Aang would still be fine in most legal systems, but the whole pacifist thing means he would not be fine with himself.
In short killing by accident fine, pre planned killing is bad.
"That's dumb"
"Your face is dumb"
Caught me off guard, nearly choked 😂
"I slept walked onto a Lion turtl-"

Ozai: If you can enter Avatar State just by poking your back, why haven't you just done it?
Aang: Ever tried poking a specific spot on your back?
Ozai: Ah... Oh...
Aang: Yeah, and that's just reaching it. Next part's applying just the right pressure, in just the right spot...
Ozai: So you're depending on dumb luck for this one.
Aang: I prefer to think of it as being open for help from the universe. You know, like you're relying on a friggin' comet. My rock's just bigger.
Ozai: If you know where the spot is (in this parody continuity at least), why not get someone else to do it?
Aang: Honestly, the one person I know who could actually do that is in prison or something. I mean, I guess there could've been one point when I could've looked for her, but I was pretty nuts on sleep deprivation at the time.
Ozai: Sleep deprivation?
Aang: My bison talked to me.
Ozai: Holy sh--... What the heck caused THAT insomnia?
Aang: The thought of fighting you.
Ozai: Oh... Wow, the very thought of me traumatized the Avatar before we even met in this life. First blood!
Aang: Forget we talked about this part.
Ozai: No.
Underrated comment 😂
This conversation deserves to be included in the video. Heck, even in the canon. Better than anything Legend of Korra offered us.
Aang: That's it. Taking your bending away.
The 'no' got me
I like how the idea of of earthly attachments blocking the avatar state was literally contrasicted by an earthly attachment
_"Plotbending"_ is My favourite.
Every other lyne was enough to make Us laugh.
“THAT… actually makes sense, that one’s fine. Good job!”
I always liked the angle that his body went into the avatar state as a defense mechanism against the shock of being hit right on the scar. The way this differs from truly unlocking the avatar state is that hes unable to control it until the danger has passed. He was only able to turn the avatar state off when Ozai became trapped and not a threat anymore.
Its not even a last second retcon because hes done it multiple times in the show already
Yeah but unless the lion turtle repaired him, his chackras were blocked and the avatar state wouldn't work after azula zapped him
@@divoulos5758but katara healed him with the spirit water right after azula zapped him, and then he had a month of sleep to recover
it wasn't his physical chakras being blocked (the way Ty Lee does it), it was his psychological trauma preventing him from accessing the avatar state consciously. so when that rock hit him it triggered a trauma response
@kalinatankova3578 no if you look closely the turtle touches him on his head and on his chest so it makes sense to assume that one was for energy bending and the other was to revive the avatar state
Oh that's a theory that makes sense, if the turtle-lion revived the Avatar state.
If your opponent sleep walks ONTO the solution for taking you out with nonlethal force, it's time to change careers.
You gotta admit… Ozai does make some good points here.
Why does this sound like a real exchange
Good writing goes a long way
"THAT! Actually makes sense... that one's fine." is soooo my vibe lmao I love that
I've been rewatching ATLA with a critical eye recently, and this line has actually come up in my internal monologue a few times. It's a fine addition to this script
FYI, Aang unlocked control of the Avatar State at the end of Book 2, however his chakra was physically blocked when he was shot with lightning.
When he was poked by that rock, that physical blockage was removed, so he was able to access the Avatar State, and he was in control the whole time.
During the fight, he was mostly taking a back seat and letting the past lives do their thing, but he was able to control himself and stop the Avatar State from killing Ozai.
Still, having the main character win basically on pure rng is, imo, incredibly bad writing
@@1v966It's not even an opinion, it just IS bad writing.
Unless the whole show is based around gambling or some shit like Kakegurui
@@bevvvy1374 I guess it could be lampshaded to an extent as well, but yeah, played as it is in TLA with a completely straight face it is shit and makes the ending shit by extension. Still an incredible show otherwise tho
I guess the talent behind the show was starting to run dry by the end, explains the shitshow of the sequel. The first herald of the creative death to come
@@1v966The legend of Korra was not a shit show at all, it wasn't as good sure, but to say that it was a shit show is just absurd
He’s mastered all six forms of bending.
Fire bending
Earth bending
Water bending
Air bending
Back bending
And plot bending
Pretty much sums up my thoughts about the finale. However, after thinking about it more, despite its problems, I am not sure if there was a better way to wrap things up. Maybe the writers realized they wrote themselves into a corner and had to use turtle ex machina to get out of it.
Have Aang kill the fire king. It really was that simple.
@@skeetsvar162 I'm usually for heroes killing the villains, especially if they are as irredeemable as Ozai. But I'm not sure I would have preferred it for this specific story beat.
@@skeetsvar162 Why? Because "life isn't fair?" We saw plenty of that already. Because everyone told him to? Since when did Aang ever listen to what everyone told him? Because sometimes killing is the only option? Only when others die as a result of failing to do so.
Give me one good reason why Aang should have killed Ozai. I've heard none. All I heard is whining about "turtle deus ex machina". Ozai wasn't even a character. He was a man who destroyed both life and nature without hesitation. No better than a malformed force of nature or a representation of uncaring industrialization. So why wouldn't nature take action to bring back balance?
It is no different than what happened on the North pole on a larger scale. Destroy the balance of the world and there are going to be consequences beyond the involvement of the Avatar. Just because we follow one force trying to restore balance doesn't mean that there aren't others at work.
@@rendomstranger8698 you've obviously already heard every good reason to kill Ozai, you even listed a couple. You just simply don't like them, the turtle was a complete and utter ass pull and you absolutely know it. Aang had a difficult choice to make and instead of actually having to make a decision with consequences like the rest of us...the show pulls energy bending out of nowhere and gives Aang a free and easy out. No moral conflict, no worries, no consequences.
It's shitty writing, you don't mind shitty writing. No amount of pointing out the flaws will convince you that it's shitty writing, because you don't care.
@@rendomstranger8698 oh and btw, Aang literally had no choice but to kill Ozai. That was literally the whole fucking problem, Ozai was going to slaughter thousands upon thousands of people if Aang didn't take him out first. But the showrunners didn't like the idea of the him actually killing evil fire bending hitler...for some reason. That's the only reason energy bending exists, they wrote themselves into a corner and instead of committing the just pulled turtles out of their asses.
"It kills time over the weekend" 100% in character for an Avatar who uses waterbending to turn himself into a snowman! Love Ozai calling him out on all the people he probably killed because that is absolutely a sore spot he would psychologically attack and exploit if he knew Aang had it.
I'm fairly certain Aang tried talking it out and Ozai said "I do have the power, I have all the power in the world!"
Also, I find Aang's pacifism so much more tolerable then someone like Batman, because aang just tries not to fight and uses his powers exclusively for self-defense, whereas Batman goes out of his way to stop people from executing genocidal murderers who'll easily break out of prison.
And they're both voiced by Mark Hamill.
Who knows maybe the fire wave ozai makes at the beginning is simply his signature intro move but aang thought it was an attack so he through rocks at him so ozai had to fight back
@@divoulos5758 It kind've was burning the land after the fire nation revealed they planned to burn down the other nations and start anew.

Aang took the last step to unlock the avatar state but Azula's lightning crippled him and stopped him from using it and the rock poking him unblocked his chakra I guess? Time for a rewatch

Ah yes, the most powerful bending of all. Plot bending.
The whole discussion sounds like both Ozai and Aang briefly read the actual script to the show (which explains Ozai's mind-reading), and are filling each other in on details the other one missed.
Dude this AI is god tier.
This is like the adult version of kids making up powers in their imaginary fight, but one kid is just tired and wants to go home, but other wants to keep playing.

Ozai calling out Aang for his "no-kill" policy being about as consistent as Batman's "I won't kill you, but I don't have to save you" type stuff throughout the show is so based.
2:25
Thia part is hilarious 😂
This deserves to go viral. This so perfectly points out the multiple layers of bullshit that went on in the climax that irked me so much.
Like, the show is still pretty damn good, but it didn't quite stick the landing imo.
The only thing that was even half bullshit was the lion turtle but they couldn’t just show aang kill someone, the avatar state comes back because he unlocked the last chakra but the got shot by lightning so when the rock hit it unblocked his chakra forcing him into a backseat position
@@AdamSlander888 that rock chakra plotpoint sucked and was bad writing.
i like how people are becoming more willing to critique ATLA now. its still a good series overall but for the longest time its been hailed as an unrivaled masterpiece of western animation but it has quite a few plot contrivances and also missed potential.
Actually the whole energybending aspect has been a point of contention for years now, and I’ve seen at least a few other things criticized as well like The Great Divide, Aang’s characterization in the Bato episode among other things.
Unless there’s been other criticisms more recently I’m missing.
Yeah no this is nothing new. Everyone agreed a decade ago that the Ozai fight and its context (lion turtle) is a weak point.
But like 50% of Korra is as bad as or worse than the Ozai fight.
@joshbuoy8661 Aang's characterisation in the Bato episode? That was so good though. He's 12 and doesn't want to lose the family he's finally found.
@@JayAreAitch I agree, but I’ve seen at least a few people take issue with it.
I think people would be more forgiving if energy bending had been hinted at, or referenced in anyway before the finale and not just a last minute shoehorned concept that conveniently popped up. They’ve should’ve found a way to incorporate it sooner.
The "then ill just lightning you to death" was so raw
The end sass of "plot bending" sounded too close to the real Ham Man for comfort
Spoopy but well done
I love how this sounds like an argument with a child.
Ozai: That's dumb.
Aang: Your face is dumb.
Ozai: Nonetheless...
Ozai got some bad self image
Well.... akshuallly......
To be fair, Aang did let go of his earthly attachments in the finale of book 2 before Azula killed him. So apparently that plot progression triggered an autosave and he still had that ability when he respawned on the back of Appa thanks to Katara using her revive.
This needs to blow up.
Aang: "I can access the avatar state if I get poked in the back."
Ozai: "Ayo Pause!"
That is not what I expected. I thought it would have been more about Ozai explaining why he views his actions as justified or something.
"that deeply held principle which you came up with last week" is so real. One of Aangs flaws that if they used earlier he probably wouldve had way more villains to talk about
"Plot Bending" 10/10😊
1:29 he got the Avatar State back from the rock, but he mastered it by refusing to compromise his morals, sparing Ozai and asserting his own will against the other Avatars.
1:04: Yeah, but it's left ambiguous as to if any of them were actually killed. We don't see it. So Aang never had any definitive proof
The rock poking him in the back is literally ‘an earthly attachment’
1:35 - yeah but the rock poking him in the back didnt fix the guru block. Aang fixed that in the duel with Zuko and Azula when he went under the crystal shell and meditated and let him self "let go" of katara who was in motral danger at the time.
