2023-02-17 12:50:06 +0000 UTCThe Zuko + Iroh relationship is so beautiful, and this group of episodes illustrates it in such a wonderful way. So excited for this journey!

2023-02-17 03:10:00 +0000 UTCThe Blind Bandit and Zuko Alone are two of my favorite episodes in season 2! Toph is amazing and immediately became a favorite of mine. As Ariel brilliantly pointed out in one of the above comments, Zuko Alone is an excellent piece of writing and shows fantastic complexity of character in Zuko. Love the old western, lone cowboy vibes.

2023-02-17 00:44:04 +0000 UTCToph!!! I loved her when I watched this show as a kid, and I love how they didn't portray her blindness as a hindrance, but rather something that makes her even stronger. The show really picks up from here from what I remember, so I'm excited for what's to come

2023-02-16 22:42:52 +0000 UTCI knew you would fall in love with Toph, LOL. I remember absolutely idolizing her as a kid. She is the coolest. Probably one of my favorite characters ever.

2023-02-16 17:39:23 +0000 UTCOnce again, another great reaction! I will say I watched the part where you sang part of "Gotta Go My Own Way" like five times LOL. I laughed when you said "What kind of High School Musical is this ..." Still one of my favorite songs of all three movies. Okay anyways moving on. Like I said previously, there are parts of the show that I don't remember. I did, however, remember Toph. I was always a fan of her character. I, of course, love the disability representation and respect how they went about it. I can go on a long rant about Hollywood and their mostly misrepresentation of the disability community. I actually think I did have one in mind when I was watching the Toph introduction episode but it went out of my mind as I watched the rest of the video. I do get it from the parents' perspective that they want to protect their daughter or whatever, however there are many parents of disabled people that overprotect their child and not let them learn independence and that they are able to live a "normal" life like a non-disabled person. Obviously if there was better and more representation of disabled people in the media, society would be more accepting and accessible which would better the disabled person and people around them. Okay, I said I wasn't gonna go on a rant but it just comes at times. So anyways I do like that she went out on her own to prove a point that she is able to do what she puts her mind to. Of course she should also learn to accept help at some point but she's so used to being told what she can't do or being over-helped so it is hard to ask for actual needed help. I also like that they don't focus on her disability and just let the character be. Another thing Hollywood doesn't understand. The disability doesn't always need to be the main focus of the story. It's just a part of the character and the disabled character also doesn't need to be the "star" of the movie. They can be the best friend, teacher, waitress, etc. Okay okay I'm done. Anyways, I also like getting the backstory of Zuko. I actually don't remember that episode so it was nice to see. I do remember Appa getting taken and I was actually waiting for that moment. I was hoping you kinda had a bigger reaction to that but I get it, there were two things going on at once. I can't wait for the next episode!! (Sorry for the long comment and rant)

2023-02-16 16:51:34 +0000 UTCYEEES love some Zuko story. I've always loved Toph's name because it sounds like "tough" (at least to my non-English first language ear) and that fits her so well. I saw ariel commenting here that people sort themselves into bending types, I also identify as a waterbender and as a side note I'm also a Hufflepuff. I've noticed it's very common for Hufflepuffs to be sorted as waterbenders too. Anyway, the library episode is one of my absolute favorites becase I can picture myself being that man sinking with the library happy to spend an eternity there; plus the imagery in that building is gorgeous!. Another side note, V (BTS) is ambidextrous :)

2023-02-16 16:38:45 +0000 UTCZuko alone it is maybe my fav ep yay (feels right that it's written and directed by women) I think you underestimate how messed up that whole family is. If you want to know what really happened in those flashbacks you can read the comic - 'the search', it's canon. although i kind of like the ominous feeling to not knowing everything. (obviously dont read it til after the show ends because spoilers) also (super random deep cut but) i saw a video edit years ago about azula and zukos dynamic set to numb by linkin park that i think sums up well that theyre both huge disappointments by one of their parents, like mirror reflections of each others turmoil in terms of the element thing i always thought of it like astrology for some reason, like you cant choose which youre born into - there are 3 signs in every element. so you're an air sign being a libra. (was zhao not ozai in the library flashback)

2023-02-16 14:33:54 +0000 UTCKyoshi is one of my favourite characters. She was an absolute badass bisexual 7ft tall powerhouse who lived until the age of 230 years old. What's not to love, you know? Her life and story is explored in the books "The Rise of Kyoshi" and "The Shadow of Kyoshi" as parts of the "Chronicles of the Avatar" series. 100% recommend it to any fan.

2023-02-16 10:06:43 +0000 UTChey michael thanks for the shoutout in the beginning! yeah those first few you watched are so so rough but then you get to zuko alone which is such a important turning point in the shows story and such well written piece of media overall that people have written essays and used it for examples on writing. not sure if this was said by the writers or if it's a heavily accepted headcanon icr but with ursa it's believed that azulon was actually going to kill zuko. ursa got word of this when she talked to azula. then she must have confronted ozai about it and ozai made a deal that if she disappeared he would spare zuko. she was really the only chance of the kids having any kind of morals so it still benefited him. then he goes ahead and kills azulon and he's in complete power. the guy in the flashback of the library was zhao when he went to seek information on how to hurt the northern water tribe and found out about tui and la. then he burned down anything fire nation stuff and left. the guy who went on to work on star wars was dave filoni who left atla after season 1 so he didn't have any involvement in this episode but this episode did have a lot of inspiration from star wars for sure! yes people sort themselves into bending classes and personally identify as a water bender.
