Really cool how both of you made predictions that came through in this episode. I’m also amused by Pudgy thinking there could be a Zuko/Katara connection. When this series first came out, there was a huge online shipping war between people who thought Katara should become romantically involved with Zuko versus those who thought it should be Katara and Aang. There were plenty of heated discussions over it. LOL! There is one interesting detail about the Earth King, that I’m not sure whether you have heard yet or not. As the Earth Kingdom is loosely based on China, the Earth King is loosely based on the last Emperor of China. He also lived a very sheltered life inside of the Forbidden Palace. It was quite a number of years before he ever stepped foot outside of the palace. And during that time China was rapidly changing, and a great deal of what was going on was hidden from him. They even gave him a bit of the appearance of China’s Last Emperor, especially with the costume and with the eyeglasses being a nice detail. There was an Academy Award winning movie based on his life, called The Last Emperor that came out in 1987. The cinematography in that film is incredible.

2023-04-04 15:02:49 +0000 UTCYes, fun fact: my older cousin used to coach him when he was little.

2023-04-04 14:39:14 +0000 UTCIroh still proving he's the best character. Glad you guys loved it so much.

2023-04-04 12:54:31 +0000 UTCSpartan literally said in HOTD 1x1 the reason he didn’t go into GOT is because he heard how bad the ending was and he didn’t want to get into it, just to be disappointed in the end like almost everyone was. They are fully aware the general consensus of GOT is that the ending is horrendous

2023-04-04 07:29:31 +0000 UTCThey know its controversial, not much beyond that, we try to keep it that way since these are supposed to be blind natural reactions. . We want to see how they feel on their own about things and the goal is to maximize that within reason. I have no issue with people giving their thoughts and opinions on these things, we discuss things like this all the time in the discord channel. It is just that is where these types of things should be, not on here. That is just how they want it setup and I think that's reasonable. On patreon, you can discuss anything within the range of stuff they should know. That leaves a person with 5x6 seasons worth of content plus flavor lore style book content to discuss the show with them. I think people can manage that.

2023-04-04 05:51:52 +0000 UTCDo you know you have the same exact name as a former NBA player? Lol
Daniel
2023-04-04 04:43:01 +0000 UTC@Mzuka Lol something that’s better than the last season of GOT does not set expectations super high 😂 Btw, S&P already know the last season of GOT isn’t good. They mentioned it way back when they first started HOTD. But still I guess these comments are unnecessary but y’all overreact a lil bit especially that person that got so triggered by it lmaoo
Daniel
2023-04-04 04:13:37 +0000 UTCI cried on this episode. I cry on almost EVERY episode, lol. Katara is a major force to be reckoned with. Aang is still learning to be the Avatar he needs to become. This fight was EPIC! Everyone shined in this episode. I'm so mad that Zuko chose to side with Azula. She is such a menacing character. Iroh is now captured by the fire nation. I'm mad at Zuko for that. Come on Zuko you need to come to terms with your destiny!!!! I can't wait for you guys to watch Book 3! It's SOOOOOO good, let's GO! Love you S&P.

2023-04-03 14:01:07 +0000 UTCLove watching people make the transition from "fun show" to "fantastic"! Welcome S&P
Mzuka
2023-04-03 10:47:14 +0000 UTCIt's not for either of you to decide what constitutes spoiling @Clarence. That kind of comment sets expectations for ALTA super high while predisposing S&P against the later parts of GoT. Of course that's going to affect how they react to it. And given that they're a REACTion channel, that obviously has consequences. Just respect the rules they've set, if it bothers you that's a tough cookie. We're all here for their reaction, not anyone else's.

2023-04-03 10:44:57 +0000 UTCI will not stand for this Bosco harassment
Christopher
2023-04-03 08:15:28 +0000 UTCNothing was spoiled you donkey 💀
big meat beast
2023-04-03 06:54:25 +0000 UTCShut the fuck up and stop spoiling shit.
MeanAngel
2023-04-03 04:36:49 +0000 UTCYep. I love both shows. Its just a respect/common courtesy thing. Especially for an episode as big as this where there will be more comments and discussion than usual.
SuddenImpulse
2023-04-03 04:36:05 +0000 UTCWe might start deleting those comments in the future if they aren't on the video for the appropriate show. People trying to discuss and comment on the episode shouldn't have to sift through comments related to another show. Especially not on such a big episode... I would have done it myself but only the Patreon owners have that power.
SuddenImpulse
2023-04-03 04:34:30 +0000 UTCFacts and I’m here for both shows as I found these 2 thru HOTD, but I’d never think of spamming in the comments for the next ep lol just comes off as barbaric
Daniel
2023-04-03 04:17:08 +0000 UTCHoly shit what is all these GoT spam. At least don’t spam in an ATLA reaction video 😅 Anyways so excited to watch you guys reaction to the finale wooo
umu
2023-04-03 04:06:55 +0000 UTCBosco fans represent.
SuddenImpulse
2023-04-03 03:52:34 +0000 UTCIndeed. When the creators discussed this episode they stated Aang had a "fatal wound" and indicated that he was on the brink of death. He hadn't died yet, but if it were not for Katara's timely intervention with the special spirit water, he would have.
SuddenImpulse
2023-04-03 03:51:11 +0000 UTCYes Azula is great at manipulation, its also her brother. She understands his personality, his goals, his way of thinking, generally.
SuddenImpulse
2023-04-03 03:49:00 +0000 UTC100% on that first bit. The Avatar folks are investing the same time, passion and financials into the reactors and community as the GoT folks. Lets please show a little composure. You guys know how big of a GoT fan I am, I am just as excited for them as anyone else here. Asking in inappropriate locations isn't going to get you an answer, if anything its going to increase the chances of no answer.
SuddenImpulse
2023-04-03 03:46:11 +0000 UTCPlease stop setting expectations of this nature. Please read the rules for GoT we post on each video. Thank you.
SuddenImpulse
2023-04-03 03:45:08 +0000 UTCThis finale is so sick😩 the emotion, the fight scenes, Iroh, Aang, Zuko, Katara, BOSCO?! 🧸 This cliff hanger had me frothing at the mouth for book 3 when it was first released— I hope y’all are similarly ravenous haha bc I quite literally CAN’T WAIT until the next ATLA upload! AND ON TOP OF THAT GOT JUST DROPPED 💞😩❤️✨🫣😤😭🤞🏾 Y’all are the absolute best! Congrats again on full time🥳

No spoilers that are outside of the flavor lore exceptions rule. 5. Minimal setting of expectations for specific episodes or content, especially negative. Too much of this can alter the way they naturally receive and interpret the content. *Flavor Lore Exceptions:* Anything that is NOT explained by future episodes, but helps provide understanding or context for the episode is fine. An example being how Aang tends to fight defensively due to his air bender background, or is a vegetarian. !!Avatar Discussion Discord Channel!!: **We have a Avatar discussion channel on the Discord!

2023-04-03 03:31:27 +0000 UTCThe bending fights in Avatar are the most impressive part of the entire series. They always find a way to make the next fight more intense than the last one, and there’s usually a new bending technique in every single fight, in ways you never imagined it could be used. When Aang sent his “air body” flying at Zuko… epic.
Jonny Rey
2023-04-03 02:53:45 +0000 UTCHonestly the escalation in seriousness between seasons 1 and 2 is still crazy impressive, especially for a “kid’s show.” Rewatching this with you guys reminded me just how well these episodes were handled- they do some serious stuff without it feeling over-blown or corny.
Brittany Proffitt
2023-04-03 02:32:12 +0000 UTCRemember at the end when Jet told Katara he would be fine? Toph confirmed he was lying. We never get a clear answer about what happened to him, but the consensus is that Jet died.
Marimo
2023-04-03 01:37:34 +0000 UTCAang’s weakness is his own fighting style which is mostly defensive. He had to take a few hits to get it thru to him that his way of fighting wasn’t going to work in this scenario. But once he realized it and had enough, he was ambushed by the Dai Li.
Daniel
2023-04-03 01:33:25 +0000 UTCI think a big point that me and others missed initially is that a huge reason Aang was weak this fight is because he failed at unlocking the last chakra and that had some contribution to his weakness, idk, could be wrong, also, he is 12, he is nonowhere near a fully realized Avatar with the chakras unlocked, if that were the case Azula would have no chance in hell. Also yeah Kataras power came out of nowhere nobody expected her to whop Azula.
Eshwar Tangirala
2023-04-03 01:29:37 +0000 UTCthats true!!! ig dying…without katara intervention he would be dead but yes you’re right if he was dead and not dying it wouldnt have worked..maybe? who knows w spiritual stuff
Steven
2023-04-03 01:21:11 +0000 UTCShe healed the wound. If aang would have died , she can’t revive him
Zeek
2023-04-03 01:19:42 +0000 UTCI really don’t think they realized aang legit dies in this episode and kataras spirit water saved him . the time between lightning and the spirit water aang was gone gone because don’t they say lightning is a one hit kill if its not redirected? especially when you see the detail of the exit point on his foot when hes falling
Steven
2023-04-03 01:00:39 +0000 UTCEveryone spamming "GOT", and I'm sitting here like MORE ATLA PLS M8
Gabriel Barott
2023-04-03 00:52:22 +0000 UTCPudgey's slow expression change as she realizes Zuko chose to side with Azula is amazing lol
Andrew Marusic
2023-04-03 00:44:07 +0000 UTCAn interesting detail about this episode: After Azula zaps Aang and basically kills him, and we see Katara catch him, the particular pose of Katara holding a dying/dead Aang in her arms is very reminiscent of a sculpture by Michaelangelo called 'La Pietà'. Its a sculpture depicting the Virgin Mary cradling the body of Jesus after he was taken down from the cross. I guess the artists for this episode wanted to evoke the same feeling of witnessing the Avatar (which is a messianic figure in this world) dying and then being resurrected (thanks to Katara's special spirit water).

2023-04-03 00:43:41 +0000 UTCYou got that right. Guys Maybe comment in the GOT reactions!?! Smh!
Elias Flores
2023-04-03 00:39:16 +0000 UTCAwesome reaction you two! This is such an intense finale. There's some pretty iconic lines in it too. My faves: 1) Sokka: "Good inside of him isn't enough! Come back when there's good outside of him too." 2) Long Feng: "You've beaten me at my own game." Azula: "Don't flatter yourself. You were never even a player." (Honestly, everything Azula says is pretty iconic. She's a great villain lol)
Ariel17
2023-04-03 00:38:55 +0000 UTCYou have to consider what Azula told him is literally all he’s been after since he got banished. That’s incredibly hard for him to pass up which is why he didn’t. Obviously he still feels conflicted and is thinking of Iroh and how he betrayed him but Azula was just too convincing which is credit to her as well. She’s aware of what Zuko wants at this point and she used it to her advantage.
Daniel
2023-04-03 00:29:50 +0000 UTCBeautiful finale! I'm so happy yall loved it, it shook me when Aang died in the avatar state, imagine if Katara wasn't there. Those two are an insane duo. Zuko relapsing into his old ways was heartbreakingggg, I feel so bad for Iroh, and he obviously regrets it as well, but he made his decision. Even after all Iroh's done for him, that sucks man. Iroh deserves the world, L Nephew. 😭

2023-04-03 00:21:47 +0000 UTCAs soon I saw the notification, I knew it was time 😊
Anderson
2023-04-03 00:20:33 +0000 UTCI know it’s probably making you sick to have to hear the same questions asked everyday, but are we getting a GOT reaction today? I’m itching myself in anticipation for one😂
David J
2023-04-03 00:15:19 +0000 UTCGuys really? This is for discussion of this ATLA episode which was epic. Stop spamming GOT smh. One thing I will say is if it wasn’t for the entire Dai Li joining Azula & Zuko in the end, I fully believe Aang would have folded them both without even going into the Avatar State. You can see it in his eyes coming back in rage before the Dai Li ambushed him. He had no choice but to go into the Avatar State, which did not end well for him as he still did not have complete control over it. His mistake was not mastering the Avatar State in the previous episode by opening the chakras in unison with Guru Pathik. That came back to haunt him here in a very near fatal way if it wasn’t for Katara.
Daniel
2023-04-03 00:14:07 +0000 UTCThe 4 part finale is better the last 2 seasons of game of thrones for real
