LET’S WATCH: Avatar: The Last Airbender | Book 3 | Episode 15 | "The Ember Island Players"
Added 2025-02-19 19:00:11 +0000 UTCHey everyone,
This episode was...... actually really funny, but WEIRD AS FUCK. Just seems like it was randomly thrown in there for no real reason. Now, maybe it has a reason that we will learn about later on, but for right now, I feel like there is no point for this episode.
Let me know down below if there is a reason or not WITHOUT ANY SPOILERS, please.
Still such a fun episode! You guys fucking rock!
Love,
Alex

The joke about keep flying over the great devide is because it was considered the worst episode of the show

2025-10-24 20:25:27 +0000 UTCThe reason for the episode is a recap episode but done in an interesting way

2025-02-24 23:59:06 +0000 UTCMust watch Korra right after this so it’s fresh

2025-02-24 01:34:20 +0000 UTCI remember watching this episode with the commentary way back when (YES, I love this show that much that I watched it with commentary, too lol). It's worth a watch/listen for at least this episode, if you'd ever be interested in that sort of thing :) They also joke about how team Avatar's comments, as they're leaving at the end, was sort of a jab towards the Last Airbender movie that was coming out around the time this episode aired. "The effects were decent"

2025-02-22 04:19:58 +0000 UTCI wouldn’t say it’s a filler it’s more of a “recap” of everything that happened so far just in a funny way.

2025-02-21 15:34:14 +0000 UTCHonestly despite this episode being filler it’s a really good idea to have a recap like this before the final arc

2025-02-21 09:55:25 +0000 UTC“We’re not about to start making incest jokes on the channel” my brother in Christ you were doing that for 3 whole Star Wars movies :3
Michael
2025-02-21 09:54:51 +0000 UTCHow did he die
Michael
2025-02-21 09:31:59 +0000 UTCI mean, let’s be real. If Katara had been in possession of any tomatoes, she would’ve been chucking them 😂 She was practically Zuko’s #1 hater up until the episode prior to this one 😂

2025-02-21 02:05:15 +0000 UTCMy favorite part of this episode was the kid talking to Zuko about his "Zuko costume" and his scar being on the wrong side, lol.

2025-02-20 14:36:26 +0000 UTCI was gonna mention older serial runs... Buffy, Supernatural, et al., and how series-ending recaps lasted the first 3-8 minutes. This episode here frustrated me on the first watch because we just got off of Zuko's arc of doing private missions with the big 3. First Aang, then Sokka, then even Katara, and everyone learned in their own way that they can trust him. But yeah. It didn't start off as "impactful", but over time, it became my favorite series recap ever and I never skip it on a rewatch and I always love a good reaction to it.

2025-02-20 06:35:02 +0000 UTCBooooo Zutara! That's the avatar's girl!
Ian
2025-02-20 06:11:22 +0000 UTCThis episode is an amazing way to recap a series without playing the typical "flashback scenes" that they usually do on other shows when recapping, Also a nice little laugh before the big finale which trust me, we need a little light heartedness before whats coming next.
Danny Ramirez
2025-02-20 00:14:04 +0000 UTCCan't wait for next week! The finale is so unbelievable good.
Choom
2025-02-20 00:06:36 +0000 UTCThis was their spin on a recap episode.
jxm82
2025-02-19 23:04:48 +0000 UTCYeah the episode is basically a story so far episode meant to recap everything before we get to the finale. But in classic Atla fashion they knock it out of the park putting their own twist on it making what is essentially a filler episode one of the funniest in the entire show

2025-02-19 22:46:19 +0000 UTCThat's cool, I didn't know that
Cody M
2025-02-19 22:33:57 +0000 UTCWell that and Toph was originally supposed to be a male.
Red powers
2025-02-19 22:33:11 +0000 UTCNot gonna start making incest jokes on the channel, eh, forgot about the Star Wars reactions already?
Logan Giddings
2025-02-19 21:50:29 +0000 UTCIn case it wasn't clear, I'm pretty sure the Ember Island Players are Fire Nation propaganda. That's why they depicted all the good guys as buffoons (except for Toph, apparently) including Mai and Tai Lee.
DarnedStingray8
2025-02-19 21:35:26 +0000 UTCThere is no live action in Ba Sing Se
DarnedStingray8
2025-02-19 21:33:28 +0000 UTCThe reason it’s here is because whenever a show like this aired back in the day, before we could record shows, and maybe ppl would’ve missed some episodes, it could give someone closure on what they missed with a reminder on what’s ahead
Cole Romero
2025-02-19 21:28:15 +0000 UTCI like to believe that the reason Toph was cast as a ripped guy is because no one wanted to admit that they'd been beat by a small blind girl 😂
Cody M
2025-02-19 21:04:45 +0000 UTCAfter your done with the season you should try out legend of korra season 1 it’s not where near as good as ATLA but it still decent with good parts including with some cameos 😉
Hunter Pavlu
2025-02-19 20:51:48 +0000 UTCIt's purpose was to give a recap before the finale, while also poking fun at the show and several of the things fans talked about/theorized about during the shows run
Indica Ink
2025-02-19 20:49:16 +0000 UTCAre you gone watch avatar korra ?
Josua Forster
2025-02-19 20:43:56 +0000 UTCIf you have free time or ever get bored, check out the YouTube channel Overanalyzing Avatar. He's like a CinemaWins, but for ATLA. It's kinda funny to see him pick apart every second of atla
Jonah McDaniel
2025-02-19 20:40:22 +0000 UTCThat's rough, buddy
Jonah McDaniel
2025-02-19 20:38:12 +0000 UTCThe fact that Toph got cast as a really big buff guy and the screenwriters in the play got their information for the play by traveling around the world, asking people about the avatars adventures, means that everyone described Toph as a big buff guy, because they were too embarrassed by the fact that they got beat up by Toph, who is just a little girl and thats hilarious to me

2025-02-19 20:14:50 +0000 UTCAlso, there’s that whole rumor that they were jabbing at the live action movie
Daisy Azuras
2025-02-19 20:12:22 +0000 UTCThat is one of the best recap episodes that has ever been made in television. It’s a recap that does not use footage from the episode of the previous episode themselves. It uses all new footage done in a style that is in universe. It’s just genius. I don’t think anyone could’ve done a recap episode and actually added new story beats without making it drag.
Daisy Azuras
2025-02-19 20:12:05 +0000 UTCAlso hope to see you watch both the live action movie and Netflix show. The movie is a rite of passage for all ATLA fans, I unfortunately remember seeing it in the movie theater
AllyBoo124
2025-02-19 20:09:05 +0000 UTCThis is one of my favorite filler episodes
AllyBoo124
2025-02-19 20:08:08 +0000 UTCNah because this is actually funny the other was just awful I never been so angry at a movie😂
Red powers
2025-02-19 19:51:43 +0000 UTCAnd also i know you said pausing would make editing harder, but there is solution for it..... dont edit the full screen when you pause and just pause and keep the avatar or whatever on the screen while you speak so its much easier.
Joovain
2025-02-19 19:44:33 +0000 UTCIt's like watching The last airbender by M. Night Shyamalan😅
PU DI
2025-02-19 19:44:20 +0000 UTCIt was the recap so you remember what happened just before the ending.
Berri
2025-02-19 19:31:50 +0000 UTC100% a hilarious episode...It's literally a recap but it's them making fun of their own show that's why I love it.
Red powers
2025-02-19 19:22:57 +0000 UTCThere is a theory why toph is portrayed as a tough big guy. It’s because no one that told this stories wanted people to know that they got their asses beaten by a Blind twelve year old 😂💀
Oliver
2025-02-19 19:13:12 +0000 UTCIt’s just a funny recap before the finale of the show. The calm before the storm type of thing
Halima
2025-02-19 19:11:22 +0000 UTCJet actually died
C. J. Ramirez
2025-02-19 19:09:41 +0000 UTCIts recap episode.
Joovain
2025-02-19 19:08:19 +0000 UTCAlex please on the next week's Avatar reactions that you would pause when you are about to have longer speeches so you dont miss any important dialogue. Love your content.
Joovain
2025-02-19 19:05:05 +0000 UTCDid I forget this episode or sum because I don’t remember that thumbnail one bit
I Phone
2025-02-19 19:03:55 +0000 UTCIt’s just a recap episode before the finale. It’s fun but yeah, not particularly impactful. There’s a little bit of drama between Aang and Katara but it doesn’t really change their relationship any.
Jake Rush
2025-02-19 19:03:46 +0000 UTCIt serves as a good and funny recap of the entire series before the seriousness of the finale
