Avatar: The Last Airbender | Book 2 | Episode 16 | "Lake Laogai" (FULL EPISODE REACTION)
Added 2025-01-22 15:00:13 +0000 UTCHey guys!
ANOTHER DAY FULL OF AVATAR!! These last 3 (or 4) episodes were INSANELY GOOD!!!
This episode had some seriously dark ass moments that show just how far the fuck holes at the Dai Li will go to cling to their power over Ba Sing Se!
Also, I know that Jet is such a complex character where it's understandable that he did what he did, but he went way too far. I'm still of the opinion where I'm like "fuck that guy."
And Zuko? DUDE FUCKING KILLS IN THIS EPISODE!! it in this episode. His internal struggle is super satisfying to watch. It’s that “who the fuck am I” vibe, and it’s such a huge part of what makes his character so damn compelling this season. Big-ass character development s in this episode!
Super badass episode! Loved this one!!
Not more than I love you guys though,
Alex

2025-03-20 22:44:57 +0000 UTCWhat's even more interesting is that Laogai is short for laodong gaizao, which means "reform through labor". This was the slogan of prison labor camps in China until 1990. The Laogai system uses penal labor and prison farms.

2025-01-26 23:30:00 +0000 UTCA little trivia tidbit I heard about This episode: Because of how Jet was struck it would lead to a very painful demise (His ribs crushed, internal organs ruptured) Originally in the episode the animators were going to have Longshot point his bow at Jet's head, before cutting away, insinuating that he was going to put Jet out of his misery But, of course, it was decided that was WAY too dark, so they changed it to him standing guard instead

2025-01-23 14:43:19 +0000 UTCI love that Uncle Iroh tells Zuko to leave the mask behind. For the longest time Zuko hid his good deeds behind that mask. Like Uncle's telling Zuko he no longer needs to hide behind a mask to be who he truly is.

2025-01-23 01:09:09 +0000 UTCI think you need to understand that although zuko wants his goals achieved and to have glory and capture the avatar, you also need to understand that he is delusional about it, and that he doesn’t want a life of peace because all he’s ever known in life was war, but war doesn’t last forever

2025-01-22 17:05:05 +0000 UTCMe thinking Alex is gonna say some deep shit at the end about how Zuko and Jet put behind their past to help the avatar, but instead talks about zuko coming out of a dick lol

2025-01-22 15:51:19 +0000 UTCImagine if Jet had someone like Uncle in his life. Jet could have done amazing things. Similarly, if Zuko didn't have Uncle, he would be worse than Jet ever was. Food for thought

2025-01-22 15:50:07 +0000 UTCI love how the Gaang spent weeks looking for Appa and Zuko swoops in and steals the thunder in one day 😭😭😭

2025-01-22 15:45:32 +0000 UTCTbh if Iroh ex-genocidaire can be forgiven then Jet certainly can be in my books. They both had their attempts thwarted, recognised the error of their ways and tried to do better.

2025-01-22 15:44:06 +0000 UTCThe dude that Jet saw in his flashbacks (burned his village and killed his family) is apart of that same group of Firebenders that invaded during the 'Avatar Day' episode, as well as attack Iroh amd Zuko in 'The Desert' (they're also a very capable singing group!). Fun easter egg for your rewatch during editing.
