Okay... Now we're really getting into it 👀

This season seems to be all about who we become because of the world around us..And who we choose to become despite it.Episode 5 was such an interesting continuation of what Avatar keeps showing us about history. Kyoshi admits that yeah, Chin died because of her actions.. But the story that's been passed down isn't the whole truth. It immediately brought me back to the same headspace as The Great Divide back in Book One. How stories change slowly over time depending on who's telling them. History isn't always a perfect record of what happened. Sometimes it's just the version that ended up surviving.And then.. TOPH 🪨I already love her.She is VERY different from what I expected Aang's earthbending master/teacher to be and I think that's what makes her work. She's tiny, blind, stubborn, sarcastic as all heck, but unbelievably powerful. Watching her navigate the world around her with her earthbending knowledge is insane and very interesting to watch. My mind immediately jumped to Matt Murdock lol.One of the things I'm really loving about this show is how different each element feels.Airbending is movement. Avoidance. Finding another path.But Earthbending is basically saying no. Stand here. Be strong, face it.I think Toph will be an amazing teacher for Aang going forward!Then episode 7.. Zuko alone.Probably my favorite episode of this second book so far.Zuko has always been really interesting to me. And we finally got a huge lore drop on why he is the way he is on a much deeper level. Seeing him as a child? His relationship with his mom, Azula, Iroh and his father? So many pieces of him fell into place for me.Especially his mother.There was so much softness in Zuko as a child. So much that never fully disappeared even as he's grown.'No matter how things may seem to change, never forget who you are.'I think that's what makes Zuko so heartbreaking.He keeps chasing after his father's approval like it's the one thing that will finally make him whole. But we're seeing how the people who truly loved him never needed him to prove anything, ever. His mother loved him. Iroh loves him. But for some reason those are the people he's been pushing away while he continues chasing the person who hurt him the most. How human is that?I think my favorite part of these four episodes was seeing all of the realtionships we've seen so far collide. Aang, Katara, Sokka, Toph, Zuko, Iroh. Everyone is carrying something heavy. Everyone is exhausted. But suddenly they're all standing in the same place with Azula at the center of it.I hope Iroh is okay..I can't imagine this show without him and his wisdom over a cup of Jasmine tea.I don't know where Book Two is taking everyone yet. But I can already feel this story becoming so much more complicated than Book One. The lines between 'good' and 'bad' feel less clean. Aang is learning that sometimes you have to stand your ground.Toph is learning what freedom actually feels like. What love actually is.And Zuko? I think Zuko is slowly being forced to see who he is underneath all the titles he so proudly announces.When everything you've been taught about who you are begins to crack, who do you choose to become?THIS SEASON IS SO GOOD SO FARCan't wait for more next week!

For some reason it feels like ts been so long since Kaliwali posted that last Avatar reaction... Course maybe im just impatient, cause id binge watch the entire series if Kaliwali posted tomorrow 😆

Ivica

This is where it really takes off. Excited to see the rest!

MGH

Ahh... Our beloved Toph has arrived. Now I can stop worrying about spoiling the appearance of one of my favorite characters ever.

Dan Hoang

The cast of this show was already perfect, but Toph just made it unfair.

charlie

I just wanted to say for the next batch of episodes episode 12s previously on Avatar should be skipped it has a minor spoiler in it

BloodyBen

The whistle through your teeth sounded like Appa's whistle that Aang uses lol

Ghgh

These episodes and everything from here is peak And azula is the goat!

AndyS

Come for The Avatar, stay for the whistling tricks.

Man, I just realized the fighting game came out a month ago and I'm playing it. It is so awesome. It has every bit of the detail, attention, and love for the show and universe that I expect. It's great. If you like fighting games, you should check it out. Watching you figure through Azulon's death and Zuko's mother, you are every bit the ATLA scientist that I knew you would be, Kali. Was that episode five episodes a week good? Probably shouldn't push my chances. You already capitulated with four. I wouldn't stop there either; five wouldn't be my cap. Would immediately begin lobbying for six. It's just as I feared: you missed when Sokka got his boomerang back in the first episode you watched. He even said, "Boomerang, you always come back!" It was funny, but you had snorted or something and were kind of preoccupied with that, so you missed it. very sad. A great classic moment. They put so much thought into the names. I love them: Azulon, Azula, Ozai, Iroh, Zuko. They just sound good together. Sokka, Katara—sounds great together, sounds like the names of a brother and sister. Aang, gyatso Toph (tough) I mean, it's just so good. Also, you seem to have forgotten that this is a kids' show that aired on Nickelodeon. It ain't Demon Slayer; it's not gonna be heads being ripped off and blood being spilled everywhere. But I think, especially now that you've watched a good bit of animation, you can really appreciate the evolution of this season from the first. I mean, how great was it when the bricks on that building fell apart after Azula burned it down? Beautiful debris animations. The action is always fresh and inventive, well choreographed and well drawn. It's just so amazing how the expressions and everything come together. And the modern stuff that they've just recently put out, which you will obviously get to, is literally at high tier anime-quality style animation. It's so good, I can't wait for you to watch that!

THE BOULDER 🪨 is pleased with this upload!

Justyn

Im so hyped for this when i get off work later. Zuko alone is a perfect 10/10 episode of telvision. When i said siege of the north part 2 was my third favorite episode of the show, this one was in my mind as number two. Also, if you havent already, pay close attention to the cinematography around zukos face There are so many shots that intentionally divide his face between his scarred and unscarred side when the themes of him being torn are being explored. Looking back at azulas introductory episode and their first conversation, and lots more to come. God this show is so good i cant.

Jojo Garlin

You know saying stuff like “what’s wrong with that child” while the child is in Earshot is a little messed up. I know from personal experience that as a child hearing an adult say that sort of thing towards you even if they don’t really mean it, you internalize it very much. I’m not saying that Ursa should condone Azula’s behavior, but it’s very clear she didn’t give the same level of care with Zuko, even when she reprimanded him she still gave him warmth, and care. The only validation she got was from the abusive parent praising her for her skill and ruthlessness

Jojo Garlin

I like how this Flashback shows Iroh as a different man, and emphasizes his growth and life changes. It’s very telling though how even then he gives Zuko a gift of significance and sentimental value, and Azula…. A ordinary doll from the kingdom he’s actively conquering. It again symbolizes the differences and level of care these two siblings were given putting them on the paths they were on

Fred Aczon

Toph is so awesome, her voice actress appeared last season, in the fortune teller episode as the little girl who had a crush on Aang. Earth Rumble was definitely their WWE homage, The Boulder was inspired by The Rock, right down to speaking in the third person. And Zuko has the greatest, most nuanced, complex character arc, that I can't believe it occurs in an American kid's cartoon. This season is soo good.

Dude Longcouch

Ladies and gentlemen... we have liftoff.

Andrew Crabtree

I wish I had an uncle like iroh I do but iroh is special he’ll always hold a place in my heart and mind very wise. Also I’ve been waiting so long for that twinkle toes joke to hit and it was priceless tops is amazing from the little youve seen.

Duderson Dude

When I saw this show as a kid back in the day, I’m pretty sure Azula was my first “I can fix her” hahaha

BattleMaster

I get so hyped waiting for these. I also greatly appreciate how much you think about the show and cling to every dialogue and piece things together. Really appreciating the story in depths. It's so fun to watch!

Day Blueberry

After catching up with The Legend of Korra as well of course so she isn't spoiled about anything at all, especially villains and characters

Dilliterate

Avatar is so peak! Is there a place for you to take suggestions for new shows and stuff? Jw because I want to shout out Mob Psycho 100 which is my fav anime of all time and I think you'd honestly like it a lot!

David Hansen

So he did get his boomerang back in the same episodehe lost it. But you got distracted by whistling through your teeth 😆 so you missed that moment. Also in the chase 5 elements where thrown at azula. Fire, earth, air, water and boomerang

Andre Harry

The Chase is such a good episode to end this week's Avatar block on.

mitchhamilton64

i know im going to be saying this from now on after every week but, i cant wait for the next batch of episodes. this is such a great season. toph is a legendary addition to the crew. fun facts! i have a lot. jesse flower, now going by a different name, was originally mang in the fortune telling episode, the little girl who had a crush on aang. she returned after an impressive display and attitude with her acting and they thought she'd be perfect for toph who was originally like what you thought would be aang's earthbending master, a big burly man. you actually see him in the opening of the show, hes the earhtbender when katara reaches the "earth" part. and he wasnt going to be blind either. just interesting how a character can change in development. toph's fighting style is more unique than other earth benders who i believe are based on muay thai but hers is based on southern praying mantis. its based more on how close her target is, how she keeps her arms and legs close to her for a strike. I believe originally the "previously on avatar" first started in the blind bandit episode. you talked about WWE and youre totally right. the boulder is based on the rock who used to talk in the third person for his WWE character and even has the same mannerisms. not only that but hes voiced by wrestling legend and friend of the rock mick foley AKA mankind AKA dude love AKA cactus jack. and some of the fighters are based on characters usually in wrestling. you have the mexican wrestler in a mask, you have that fire nation guy who was like the iron sheik. theres something weird going on with the animation im noticing where some frames are missing or some things changed. like for instance at the end after zuko screams "LEAVE!" theres the wide shot but whats missing is the gang runs out of frame. instead theyre missing in the very next frame. and im pretty sure iroh's wound did look more fleshy with some pink and red in there but i could be wrong.

TChang23

Whenever I rewatch the show it’s always jarring to remember that toph wasn’t even in season 1, she becomes such a big part of the story it’s hard to think of the show without her in it.

Federico Carnebale

Best book for me, incredible lore and character deepness

Mika

i would also say for your thoughts on azula, even if she has some clear mental illness she’s a child and her clear disappointment of receiving a doll while zuko receives a knife, to the point where she steals it later and her being like a prodigy you would assume iroh would know her better and that she’s more of a warrior as well. also her mother saying stuff like “what’s wrong with that child” maybe isn’t exactly how a mother should handle the situation lol

FrenchTantan

While Azula was already cruel at a young age, her story is tragic too I think, in a way. Obviously, she was favored by Ozai. According to Zuko, their father did say she was born lucky, while Zuko was lucky to be born. So from an early age, Ozai took her under his wing, while berating Zuko for not living up to her, especially as a first born. As a result, Ursa had to compensate and be there for Zuko more. This meant that the only positive influence Azula could have had was focused elsewhere while her father brainwashed her more and more into his perfect little weapon. Ursa seemed genuinely surprised at Azula being so apathetic. When she says "what is wrong with that child?", I think it was a wake-up call for Ursa. When Azula was telling Zuko about how Ozai was going to kill him, Ursa inerrupted them, and took Azula apart for a talk. From her POV, she didn't know what Azulon told Ozai yet. She must've thought Azula was once again bullying Zuko and wanted to get to the bottom of why. Likely, she would've tried to correct course too. The true tragedy is that she never got the chance, which doomed the path Azula was taking.

FrenchTantan

I mean, she was, what, 10 in that flashback? At that point, Iroh had been gone for two years, meaning the last time he saw Azula, she was 8. I can't really fault him for what amounts to a blind guess. At least he tried. Also, while Ursa saying this out loud was harsh, she did try and handle this the right way the very same evening. When she went to see Zuko and Azula, she had no idea what Azulon ordered Ozai to do. She most likey thought that Azula was bullying Zuko again. So, she did what a mother should do, and took her daughter apart for a talk. Unfortunately, what that talk revealed led to [SPOILERS], then she had to leave. A lot of people like to blame Ursa for how Azula turned out, often framing it as if her preferential treatment of Zuko wasn't her trying to compensate. Ozai treated him like shit, while he favored Azula from the start (Born lucky/Lucky to be born), Ursa had to do something. Some will say she didn't care for her daughter enough, that she should have noticed that the prodigy needed her too. I personally believe the tragedy is that she did notice, and showed willingness to correct course... Right before Ozai's evil ambition burned every plan to do so to the ground. Ursa did her best in a terrible situation. Any mistake that would otherwise be minor in a normal family, where the opportunity to make amends exist, was multiplied a hundred fold in consequences because of the shitty dad.

Episode 6 is a great introduction of a great character. Toph is best girl. She gives the others a hard time at first but it turns out all she needed was some good old Iroh-wisdom.

Day Blueberry

I feel like this would be a better comment for down the line, it's still quite early for it. We are just starting to see Azula more in the show still. It would be better for Book 3, at least I think

FrenchTantan

I appreciate what you're trying to do, I really do, but I feel like I was very careful to only expand on things the show has revealed thus far. Also, some of the previous comments are being very harsh on Ursa based on actual spoilers, so I felt like I had to compensate.

Luke

I love how Kyoshi is just straight up like, yeah I killed him and I'd do it again

Shane

My interpretation of that scene at the end with Iroh is, he knows Azula is lying, he's searching for he true target to protect them, presumably he thinks she's going for the blind girl, but in that moment of distraction, he becomes the most vulnerable.

Day Blueberry

I think it's actually Uncle Iroh getting distracted when realizing the girl he met was traveling with the Avatars group This was the perfect opening Azula was looking for and she took it, she attacked the distracted Iroh

Alex Norton

The story of Ursa, Ozai, and Azulon goes so much deeper. Part of it will be elaborated on later, some of it in a comic they released after the show wrapped up.

mitchhamilton64

as another person said, yeah, he was just noticing that the random blind girl he met was with team avatar. i think he is somewhat aware of her blindness situation when he offered her the cup of tea and she was able to tell where it was immediately.

Christian F

I don't think Zuko's mother abandoned Zuko. Azulon said ozai must kill his first born son. I think ozai made a deal with Zuko's mother, and the deal was for her to assassinate Azulan so Ozai could take the throne. In return, Zuko gets to live, but she has to go into Exile. I've watched this entire show over 20 times and that's all I can gather from this. It's never actually truly explained. That is what I believe happened. There is literally no reason why Ursa would leave otherwise. I don't see any other logical explanation for what happened.

mitchhamilton64

im the same way. its hard to think that for about a third of the show she wasnt a part of it.

Torpid Input

sokka gets his boomerang back in ‘avatar day’ when they are fighting the rough rhinos at the end of the episode

M1 Maz

Telling her what's "not explained" in the show is also a spoiler. She has no way of knowing that watching blind

UTU49

Episodes 6, 7, and 8 are top tier. I'll never get tired of episodes like those. The Blind Bandit was so funny, and introduces a new character. Zuko Alone is a very special episode focusing mostly on a single one of our main characters. And the Chase brings all of our 9 main characters together for the very first time, the original 5 and the 4 newer ones. It is so satisfying to watch someone get immersed in this show. Great videos Kali. Two of my favorite reactors started Avatar recently, so I'm having a good month. :)

Jahny Bravo

These are an amazing 4 episodes. All of them are incredible in different ways. Episode 5: We get the legendary Kyoshi. Funny you mention Toph being like a mini-Daredevil (she totally is), because I also felt like Kyoshi and Punisher were both on the same timing during their trials (which coincidentally are both in season 2 of the shows). Whole episode Aang is like “what are you talking about? me and my past lives would never kill someone?!” Then Kyoshi just shows up like “Oh I totally killed that guy… and you’re welcome, too!! What the hell yall complaining about?” I’ve been dying to get to this episode to share this hilarious skit about that moment: https://youtu.be/tYQlAKvsH-A?is=Xw6cUMB7PTFrNUs1 Jokes aside, I agree with you that it is an incredible world building moment into how history can get distorted over time. Kyoshi defeated a tyrant, but she did so by essentially annexing her home from the rest of the Kingdom. Which allows that Kingdom to give the version of history they WANT to and pretend that the defeat of their tyrant was a tragedy. It’s played for laughs, but that guy wasn’t speaking that far from the truth when he described ‘Justice.’ How history gets remembered operates under the same principles of “I say what happened, and then you say what happened, and then I decide who’s right!” People “Avatar Day” in that town also being celebrated as “Kyoshi Day” on her island is not too dissimilar from how the USA celebrates the 4th of July, but the UK doesn’t. It’s not a holiday to them because they lost the fight. Or how people from the South constantly try to rewrite the history of the Civil War as “fighting for state’s rights and farmers trying to protect their farms” because they’re too ashamed to admit they were willing to fight a war to protect themselves from having to do their own farm work or pay workers. Or (if you remember my comment from your Black Panther II reaction) how they teach us about the rise and fall of European Conquerors in history class like the British Empire, Spain conquering most of South America, or Napoleon Bonaparte’s era of expanding France’s empire, but never bother teaching about people like Toussaint the Haitian General who was able to lead history’s only successful slave rebellion and defeat Napoleon’s army, reclaiming an entire island country for the slaves. But to bring it back to the actual world of Avatar, Kyoshi was the Avatar before Roku. That’s only two lives ago for Aang. And she was battling an Earth-Bending tyrant. It’s a reminder that the Avatar cycle truly is a CYCLE. The Fire Nation aren’t the only bad guys of the world, they’re just the CURRENT ones. And every time the Avatar gets reincarnated they just have to do it all over again with the new state of the world. Ep 5 p.2: I watched this show on Netflix during the summer between my 7th and 8th grade years. I similarly had a very toxic childhood that made me very adverse to accepting help and letting people in after I was finally free from the situation as you mention with his later advice to Toph in episode 8. But what he says to Zuko in this episode, “In the darkest times, hope is something you give yourself. That is the meaning of inner strength,” is something that I’ve held onto very tightly ever since. And is part of the reason I rewatch this show every year. That along with much of the rest of this and next season are part of my personal reminders to reassess my progress and how well I’ve been maintaining my personal promises ever since. P.S. The music that plays in the moment of silence after he finishes and as Zuko walks away that you say “is giving Battlestar Galactica vibes” was also the same music used when they cut off their hair in the first episode of the season, and when Zuko and Aang talked during the Blue Spirit episode last season. The fact that Zuko takes Iroh’s advice in the wrong way as an excuse to stop traveling together might be foreshadowed by the music following Iroh’s words since it returns when he comes back to tell Iroh he’s leaving, it showed up when the hair-cutting meant cutting ties with the Fire Nation to escape Azula, and the Blue Spirit conversation it played during highlighted that Zuko kinda just drew a line between him and the rest of the Fire Nation when he showed he was willing to attack his own country and save Aang because his only desire is to go home and Aang is his only shot at going home. Ep 6: Toph is awesome. And us having an episode about Kyoshi before we meet Toph is clearly very intentional. Aang is the Avatar and will eventually know all 4 elements, but him starting out as an Airbender is very clearly a huge impact on his personality. Meanwhile we see Kyoshi, the last Earthbender Avatar, to be very unafraid to stand her ground and be confrontational. Aang wants to convince the town he’s innocent. Kyoshi shows up and says “nah, he deserved his death.” It gives us insight into what to expect from Aang’s future teacher. Someone stubborn and willing to stand her ground. She doesn’t want to join the crew at first because their sudden appearance is a threat to the status quo she cultivated at home. She pretends to be helpless at home, and then sneaks out at night and enjoys herself proving her strength in underground fighting. But Aang showing up threatens to make those worlds collide and she doesn’t want to risk it…. until her dad starts calling her weak and fragile. She accepts the coddling at home because her parents don’t even let the rest of town know she exists (the other kids thought the Beifong family was childless). But he starts calling her weak and fragile in front of these other people who know her true strength and she immediately stands her ground and goes “Yo F ALL that noise, don’t call me weak. I’ve beaten up every single one of those fools for FUN! They’re the weak ones.” She hopes that finally showing herself will help her parents accept her, but when her father doubles down she realizes that catering to her parents’ fears for so long was never gonna help them accept. And as much as she struggles to find her rhythm with the group later on, she doesn’t hesitate to take the chance to prove herself by becoming the Avatar’s teacher once she realizes that’s the only way her strength will ever be appreciated. Which from her perspective has to take major confidence. It’s not just the fact she’s running from home, or that she’s secretly strong, but the fact that the most powerful person in the world is looking to be HER student. Ep 7: This episode is incredible for being the first episode of the entire show to be entirely centered on only a single character. And why Zuko and Azula are the way they are. Zuko was their mother’s favorite, Azula was their father’s favorite. Azula acted that way because she knew how to earn their father’s approval in a way Zuko has been struggling to match ever since their mother disappeared. Also if you look back at the season opening when Azula tries to trick Zuko with the “father is worried about treacherous plots to steal the throne and has realized the importance of family” you can now see why Iroh was not convinced for a single second. Iroh not only loses his son in the siege on Ba Sing Se, but before he even makes it home his father ‘suddenly’ dies and his brother takes the throne. There’s no definitive answer here for how things played out, but the circumstances alone are enough for us to understand Iroh’s immediate suspicion for Azula’s claim that ‘family is suddenly important to father.’ Ozai is basically Iroh’s Azula and he knows his brother well enough to not be fooled. Zuko’s experience with the town also highlights how despite being banished, Zuko was still very much being sheltered in the previous season. Sure he couldn’t go home, but he could still benefit from the status of the Fire Nation and the situation of the war to go through his travels without having to associate with any of the regular citizens of the Earth Kingdom. His complaints about being a beggar when with Iroh was “we’re royalty, these people should be giving us whatever we want.” He thinks Azula is the main reason he has to hide his identity. But the first people he forms a connection with long enough to be willing to fight for and even reveal his identity end up hating him more than the soldiers that were tormenting them. And it’s kinda understandable why since from their perspective, him and his family are the entire reason for their problems. Without the Fire Nation both the husband/father and the elder son/brother would still be there. And those soldiers wouldn’t be there taking advantage of them. Him being Fire Nation royalty only earns him hate from the rest of the world. Even if he’s trying to do the right thing, which is the opposite of what he expected. The soldiers were bullies, but the Fire Nation is worse than any bully and Zuko doesn’t realize that. Ep 8: I’ve already said so much (going up to 4 episodes at once was a recipe for disaster for me lmfao). For this episode I’ll just say that I similarly had troubles adjusting after exiting a toxic home (and honestly still do) and Iroh’s advice to Toph is another thing I rewatch this show annually to remind myself to work on. I’m not as bad as Toph is in the beginning of the episode where I try to be completely self-sufficient and isolated, but rather isolated more in the way that I would be the type to make sure to help the group set up camp and complete setup so that as soon as everything is finished and ready I can go back to my corner and not come back until I’m needed again for whatever reason. Making sure to always provide help as an excuse to give myself the option to always decline help. Doing things to help others, working together to complete tasks, talking about a specific topic, etc. those are the easy things. Being around/talking to people for no reason in particular and just naturally spending time or letting conversation flow aimlessly is the hard part. And then this is also the first time we get to see the crew fight with Toph and it’s a glimpse into how the action will grow from last season when it was primarily focused on Aang’s Airbending and Katara’s Waterbending vs Firebending. Earthbending was only a bonus in the few occasions they were lucky enough to get some help from locals. But it’s not a case of having local help anymore, now there’s an Earthbender on deck ready to join in for every fight.

Ron B

The Boulder (a joke against The Rock) is actually voiced by a famous WWE personality (Mick Foley) mostly well known for several characters in WWE in the 90's. He's awesome! Great reaction as always kali, next week is gonna be another wonderful one for sure!

"Everything I do Zuko is to protect you! Never forget who you are. That's what happens when you mess with a Mom's babies, ฅ˙Ⱉ˙ฅ rawr!" ~ Ursa, Mother of Zuko and Azula These paraphrased quotes-ˋˏ ༻❁𝓚𝓪𝓵𝓲𝔀𝓪𝓵𝓲❀༺ ˎˊ-, is truly the key element to the truth. Zuko's Mother Ursa leaving, right after their Grand-Father and Fire Lord Azulon passes away after she said he was the picture of health? Should raise an eyebrow, knowing what her husband truly wants.. she did everything to keep Zuko safe from his sister Azula's "lie" and the leaving wasn't it. ≽(◉˕ ◉ ≼マ Yes,-ˋˏ ༻❁𝓚𝓪𝓵𝓲𝔀𝓪𝓵𝓲❀༺ ˎˊ-, your logical thought process and media comprehension is correct, stop doubting yourself and go with those feelings! ◕⩊◕ If you haven't read my last post I'll put the link here down below. Since it gives you an outlook on my perspective from my own personal "experiences" toward the bottom of the post that this show touches on with each of the characters. Think you'd get to understand me a bit more. https://www.patreon.com/kaliwali/posts/avatar-last-book-165963449 Definitely. great things in these episode, one of the best was the new addition, simply put, is the B.E.A.S.T! Best Earth-Bender Anywhere Severely or Seriously Tough, rhymes with Toph. Katara looks at the group working together, being essential which it is. Toph looks at what Katara wants the group to be, thinking this blatant control. Exactly why Toph left home and her parents, no one should be controlled by others! Interestingly enough, they are both right. Katara needs to talk to new and existing group members and get a consensus on how things should be handled as a group. Letting everyone have their say. Toph needs to understand she technically isn't totally on her own and is living with essentially roommates. I left at the age between the age of 15-16yrs old, had 5 roommates, all high schoolers who had jobs and we paid the rent and electric together and we paid for our own food. Each of us helping with the chores. Around a year to a year and half, we too eventually had to go back to our parents home but it instilled in us knowing we can accomplish whatever we want and we are in control of our own lives! Azula, yeah, like the rest of these youngsters needs guidance. Being spoiled and looking to her Father as her role model shows in the way she acts. Though, I too would of kicked her to the curb in a manner of speaking, as I wouldn't tolerate this behavior from ANYONE, we have to remember that if given the chance and with certain, sometimes hard, growing experiences to learn from that change is possible.

Am I wrong in remembering that the boulder was voice acted by mick foley wwe legend mankind cactus jack dude love I totally forgot then I remembered the rock n sock connection and the gimmick mick did back then

kaliwali

Ahhh I gotta admit, I've never watched WWE but of course I've heard of it and the over exaggerated fights and personalities LOL. That's awesome!

kaliwali

LOL ahhh the old teeth whistle distraction

kaliwali

I love that she is your favorite! I can see why

kaliwali

LOL I was wondering if the cats perked up at all when I made that sound but I think they snoozed on

kaliwali

good to know that part of the story will continue to be branched on! there's so much to unpack..

kaliwali

Just mentioning them is my suggestions system LOL ty for the recommendation!

Dilliterate

Awesome lol I didnt want to go on a whole spiel on an unrelated post but Mob is hilarious, heartfelt, and has great character growth and its quite different from all of the anime you've seen so it could be a cool change of pace!

mitchhamilton64

you are not wrong, he did indeed voice the boulder. idk if they tried to get the rock to voice him but the boulder is def based on the rock

Charles Masten

Not only was he inspired by The Rock, but The Boulder was also voiced by Mick Foley!

Josh B.

I know we are still half way through the series but will you also be doing Korra after ya finish ATLA?

SaxyGuy

Wow! I have watched dozens upon dozens of reactions to ATLA and I don't think I've ever seen anyone recognize that Toph was the girl from the swamp before Aang does.

GrossBee

I can't believe they didn't get Nic Cage to play Toph's dad in the live action show 😂

UTU49

I guess we can tell you now. We all knew you were going to turn out to be an Airbender.

"Zuko, that's what moms are like. If you mess with their babies, they're gonna bite you back!" *Slowly caresses long, wise beard* Veeeeery interesting. 🧐

SidekickSteph

I think it’s so crazy that Toph’s Dad hired the guy who kidnapped his daughter. I honestly can’t believe they didn’t go to prison for that… like they signed their names, there were witnesses, like is it not a big deal to kidnap and hold kids for ransom in the earth kingdom?
