Aang killing the wasp thing after getting Momo back was such a big deal to show his level of emotions in that moment. He's a vegetarian and a pacifist, it's a huge part of his character to protect life. Even after Momo was safe and the wasp was flying away, Aang still chased after it and cut it down in anger and revenge.
@Elysia63 So you're obviously not intelligent at all. How is it the Owl's fault? When he found out the gang was gonna use the information they found for Violence something he hated?
a lot of people seem to forget that appa is not only his last connection to his genocides culture/people (which is enough of a reason already) but also his soulmate in a sense. im actually rly glad you two didnt get mad at him because a lot of people do get mad, when everything that happens makes sense and is more painful than anything😭
Yeah, if my dog was stolen from me and I had to spend days getting out of a desert before I could even go and look for him properly I’d be pretty damn irate too. And we didn’t spend a century frozen in an ice berg, only to thaw out and learn he’s the last connection I have to my previous life.
aang losing control and going into the avatar state, and katara being kind of resigned and sad, being sad with him to calm him down....always makes me emotional, i have to say. its so sad and sweet...
In retrospect, a lot of people get upset with Aang in the first episode, I think in part because they assume the Appa thing will be resolved by the end of it and then it's like oh. But the first time he needed to be calmed down like this is when he found evidence of the genocide and the loss of his other best friend.
Plus even if it's not wrapped up in one episode, we have the benefit of knowing this is ultimately a kid's tv show which means it's very unlikely they'd ever kill Appa off like that. Now if the show was run more like Game of Thrones, then most people would probably be just as distraught as Aang since there'd be a higher possibility that Appa was killed or lost forever.
I love the detail of Zuko sniffing the flowers when Iroh leaves. As soon as Zuko's alone, he drops his facade and softens. His true character before all the daddy issues.
There were several reasons why the Moses water bubble was better than ice bridge. 1. They are escorting an extremely pregnant lady who needs for them to move slower, plus ice is slippery, she could fall. 2. Fire Nation is patroling the area, if they are spotted again while on the bridge, they are all going to fall in. 3. Toph can't see on ice. And finally 4. the Moses water bubble is cool AF. They just didn't expect a wild Rayquaza to appear😊
My question is always why they didn't have Toph raise up a land bridge. So much more stable than the ice, Toph could see just fine, and it could just as easily be lowered back down once they got across.
@@angelalurtz3638 Hmm... they still need to stay hidden in the first place, landbridge is safer but still out in the open. Plus, once Toph rose them out of the water, the rest of the land underneath was too far for her bend a new bridge.
@@lightningg252yeah I think it’s crazy that so many people just expect every bender to just do whatever the fuck they want as if they have the power, energy, and strength to terraform the whole world. I think a land bridge would’ve been a lot more work than people realize. I imagine that water bubble conserved a lot more energy and was easier to pull off than forming a land bridge. Even if you could argue they’re fairly equivalent options, then it’s pointless hindsight to argue the other option was better. Keeping a low profile underwater was definitely a more covert option than being spotted walking out in the open.
poor katara is a waterbender trapped in the middle of a desert with toph, a blind. twelve. year. old. aang, who is both a Literal Nuke *and* having a fucking breakdown, and sokka who is not only tripping balls but who also made it so that the lemur is tripping. balls. no map, very little water, no mode of transportation, and she has to keep everyone together so they don't, yaknow, DIE IN THIS DESERT OR SOMETHING
@@iAmPimmiCue yes. I know who Iroh is. He isnt a wizard who knows magical things and has a third eye to sense people around him. Guy got shot in the arm/shoulder by Azula in episode 8. Probably a few days or perhaps weeks passed by since this and he’s probably actually in pain. To suggest he isnt is crazy.
One of my favorite silly things in the whole show is Momo miming sobbing into his lil hands. So precious!! But these episodes are incredible for Aang's emotional conflict and Katara's emotional strength. I always shed a tear at the end of The Desert when he lets go of his rage with the Avatar state and becomes a grieving child. Heart-wrenching.
You have to understand, Appa has been Aang's best friend for years they have a spiritual bond, he's only known Sokka, Katara and Toph for a couple months.
It's all the owl's fault! NONE OF _THIS_ would have happened if he *NEVER* sunk the library in the first place!!! 😡😡🤬🤬💢💢 Appa's been stolen, and it's all because of _that_ STUPID BIRD!!! *IT'S ALL HIS FAULT!!* Am I right????
They were trying to go under the water to sneak across unseen. They made a slight commotion, and they were immediately attacked by a Fire Nation ship. Aang is emotionally and mentally hanging on by a thread. He'd lost everything but Appa. Remember what his deceit when he thought his new friends were going to abandon him to meet up with their father? And, now Appa is gone. Aang killed that buzzard wasp for no reason other than anger. Even Momo was afraid of him at that point. It also shows how deadly and dangerous an Air Nomad willing to kill can be. Aang could kill pretty much anyone if he was bloodlusted. He holds back much like Spiderman, Superman, and Bruce Banner. Yeah, I linked in DC and Marvel.
"Old friends who don't want to attack me". Remember this phrase! You'll know what it meant by the end of the series! 🙈 This show is thought out to the maximum 😁
Excitement begins to leak from his lips as he can't help but to crack a smile. Just finishing your reaction and it was expected, amazing. You had me laughing right with you and remember asking similar questions. I'm eagerly waiting with anticipation for future reactions. Honestly as I type this, I see 2 days ago a reaction I missed. I'll go see what you thought of The Terminator. "I'll be back."
21:47 I always wanted more scenes of Longshot "Talking" to people, without a word. I used to have people in my life that I was so close to that we would just understand each other by body language.
All the past avatars crying with Aang is really a great scene.. remember appa is Aangs animal guide and companion just like Rokus Dragon was to Roku... So even Roku knows what Aang is going through.. also i heard that you cant cry in the avatar state, so Aang crying in the avatar state is just crazy.. I said i "heard" that you cant cry in the avatar state, i didnt confirm it... Before you start with the negative comments 😂😂
The very first time that I saw these episodes, I was feeling really, really bad that Aang had lost Appa!!!! That sky bison is a gentle giant. I'd be just as pissed off as the Avatar would've been.😭
I dont want to have to wait another 7-10 days for the next two episodes :/ I really enjoy your rractions to ATLA, which is my favorite show. Do you think you could maybe prioritize the show a bit? If you want to finish the show by summer's end...
Glad you guys didnt get mad at aang for being so angry, most people who watched that episode would judge aang for it. Imagine losing someone who you spent your entire life with, id be just as angry.
hummm excuse me? the The Serpent's Pass and the Drill are one episode with an intermission, I feel cheated. if we don't get 3 episodes in a 45 minute video next time we must riot.
That would mess it up for the future though. If they switch things up to go "in sync" here, they'll be out of sync for the Book 2 Finale since they wouldn't be doing 19/20 in the same episode.
@@pabloc8808 "All life is sacred. I always try to solve my problems by being quick or clever. I've only had to use violence for necessary defense. And I've certainly never taken a life." If all it takes for you to throw away those morals is for you to get angry then they mean nothing.
@@Ultimaniacx4 Then again this is a 12-year-old who tries his hardest not to send Ozai to the Lord even though he could. This is a child we're talking about. He does his best but the last remnant of his people was taken from him. He breaks that vow here, which just shows how desperate he was. He never does it again for the remainder of the story
@@pabloc8808 That just means he wasn't given a reason to be angry enough. Here's an interesting hypothetical: How do you think Aang would react if Ozai burned Appa alive right in front of Aang and laughed? I severely doubt he'd forgive him. I know he's a child. That just makes it more annoying later when he starts preaching as if he was a wise old man that had all the answers.

That's why I blame the owl for Appa's capture. It's ALL HIS *FAULT* that he sunk the library in the first place!!! 😡😡
Am I right???
@@RedPandaGirl002 Are you still moaning about the Owl? You're still wrong about it
@@iAmPimmiCue But you saw Aang in this episode here of how he was acting. He's VERY and incredibly angry at Toph for not saving Appa in time!

@@Codyfrost93 He (the owl) *made* AND *brought* those sandbenders take Appa away. That's how

Companion for life basically. Reading the Yangchen novels (or any of the novels really) as well and seeing that connection is so heartwarming.

always shed a tear at that scene
Lowkey pissed me off with them laughing about it
@@geriott609it pissed you off that they didnt have a reaction that you didnt want?? Dont u understand how crazy that is 😭

I definetly think the audience thinking appa will be found in a tight 25 minutes as opposed to aangs thought of losing him FOREVER

Cactus containing water is a popular piece of information.

Suki Also translates to Moon. So both of his girlfriends where Moons.
That's rough buddy!
His arm wasn't as bad as he made it out to be, he just wanted Zuko to stop because he realised they were being followed
How do you know that?
@@benlezmh1835 Because he was extremely dramatic about it, and when they stop they immediately get ambushed and he's ready for it
@@iAmPimmiCue right, that sounds like you’re just clutching at straws cause dont think thats true at all. It could have just been a coincidence?

It's the quenchiest!
We stan Katara, true ultimate Mom friend and Waterbending Master to the Avatar that saved the world thank u
Tragically we will never get a concert from the ruff rhinos
You have to understand, Appa has been Aang's best friend for years they have a spiritual bond, he's only known Sokka, Katara and Toph for a couple months.

The name of the creature was Japanese for "Eel". So it was a giant Eel that could shoot water.
I guess this one is a snake instead.
24:10 notice that she went in with her (heavy looking) armour, that's some astronaut shit even if it was more like "medium armour"
“You talk too much” is a call back to her doing the same thing to him back in season 1 episode 4.
We all just want Appa back. These are the hardest episodes to watch.
It's all the owl's fault! NONE OF _THIS_ would have happened if he *NEVER* sunk the library in the first place!!! 😡😡🤬🤬💢💢
Appa's been stolen, and it's all because of _that_ STUPID BIRD!!!
*IT'S ALL HIS FAULT!!* Am I right????
@@RedPandaGirl002 Yeah, well. If Sokka hadn't been so obvious stealing from the Owl, maybe it wouldn't have overreacted the way it did.
That other serpent was when they went to Kyoshi Island which was why Sokka initially asked Suki to deal with it.
18:40 Suki was actually his 1st choice since like EP 4 I wanna say 😅
never ceases to bring out my man tears
Fun fact, yue means moon in Chinese and tsuki means moon in japanese
Sokka has a thing for moons 😂
The cactus Sokka drank from is based on the peyote cactus which is a hallucinogen.
Sure you already know that, bun in case you don't, this pregnant couple is the same that Zuko almost robbed in his solo episode
26:45
She's an employee for the ferry service. She'll just go back on the ferry.
This is true but I like to think the serpent's pass is easy for her lol
I think you have it backwards Cody, he met Suki first I would think he was his first choice over the moon princess.
Sokka was chosen by the moon, warrior and an earthbender.
SOKKA DA LOVER BOY

Katara is the best character in the show. But somehow the Avatar community is full of people disrespecting her.
That's true people always hates her just because she's being motherly
Katara is an amazing character. "Best" though is just your personal bias.
She is amazing, but for me Iroh, Zuko and Toph are the best character. Katara, Azula and Aang close second
Order of the White Lotus!!
Probably not important.
Suki works for the fairy. She’s literally planning to just have a ride back across on it. She doesn’t need a ticket she’s guard.
Peak Avatar continues peaking
I gotta say, ep 15 and 16 together are gonna be so much fun!!
