BOOK TWO WAS SO GOOD 😭

This season completely changed how I look at Avatar and all of the characters. Book One was an awesome intro to the world and a really fun adventure, but Book Two felt like the moment where everything got real. The world got biggger, the characters got more complicated, and now I'm sitting here WAY too invested in the psychological wellbeing of Zuko who KEEPS MAKING BAD DECISIONSZUKO. WHAT ARE WE DOING GUY 🔥My heart actually broke for him in this finale. I really thought he turned a corner completely. The fever, being at war with himself, Iroh telling him he'll be the 'beautiful prince he was meant to be' once he gets on the other side of it.. And HE WAS. He woke up happier, lighter, peaceful. And that conversation with Katara while they were trapped.. It brought me right back to 'Zuko Alone' and reminded me that there is this shared pain between them. For a second you can actually SEE a good path for Zuko. A way forward. A destiny that isn't clouded in expectations, guilt and fear. Katara was even willing to use precious spirit water to heal his scar! But then when that moment came for him to choose....HE CHOSE WRONGI can't even describe how disappointed I felt. I think Iroh's look at him pretty much sums it up tho..But I guess Zuko needed to make this choice, right? I mean he spent his entire life believing that going home, regaining his honor and earning his father's love will fix everything that's wrong with him. Now he is promised those exact things.. But I just have this sinking feeling that he'll find out the hard way that this destiny isn't what he though it would be. Or maybe it will be and I'll be shook once again?? I think I'm just coping and trying to tell myself he still has a shot because I REFUSE to give up on the kid that held his mother tight and stood up against the council before his banishment. And sometimes in life.. We make horrible choices trying to follow the destiny we think we want just for it to finally come and realize.. Wait, this isn't what I wanted at all.This finale leaves me with an ache in my heart.Aang almost DIED in the Avatar state which.. thinking back to the beginning of this season is a HUGE deal.Iroh is captured.. The Earth Kingdom is lost..But I can't lie that I'm even more excited for Book Three now. I'm assuming we're finally going deeper into the Fire Nation which is something I've actually been looking forward to since the beginning. I want to understand them. Learn more about Ozai. I NEED to know what happens to Zuko now that he's finally being given his 'destiny'. And now I'm really curious whether being back around his father and Azula is going to make him realize how much he's changed. I hope it does...Book Two was incredible, guys.SEE YOU IN BOOK THREE NEXT WEEK 🔥Thank you for your support on Patreon!Relax and enjoy 🍿🌿SYNC ALONG LINK: https://youtu.be/z7kRnACBnt0I watched this on Netflix

I get head to toe chills every time I see that shot of Cosmic Avatar Aang, combined with the burst in the orchestral score. Guru Pathik is an underrated character in the series, imo.

TChang23

Zuko’s choice was so sad to watch and you can tell he regretted it when Azula was telling him he regained his own honor. Also seeing katara cry while Aang was falling always makes me emotional, the whole moment was such a gut punch and really feels like the war has been lost. I can’t wait for next week!

It's 1:50 PM. What is happening right now?!!

Edgar Gonzalez

Yes, this is what I've been waiting for! AND WE GOT "DUMB AND DUMBER" ON FRIDAY FAM!

Chris Truex

My take is that first Zuko tried to get his honor his father's way, and that didn't work. Then he tried to get his honor his uncle's way, which doesn't work either. Because, ultimately, he has to be himself, for himself, if he wants to figure his life out

Creamish

Zuko’s positive attitude was performative. He was being too overly happy. Very realistic. He was trying to lie to himself that he was content and happy with a humble life, but he has not properly grappled with the truth of his identity. And imo, just healing the scar would be repression and ignoring his trauma, rather than accepting himself.

Justyn

Im already crying just thinking about watching this after work later. GODDAMMIT THIS SHOW IS SO GOOD

I'm an old nerd that's been watching anime and western cartoons since the 70s, and while I've always enjoyed western cartoons, I've long accepted that they will never have complex mature themes that anime regularly deals with, because of the Broadcast Standards and Practices that the US television has. Zuko's choice in the finale blew my mind, and proved me wrong. We've been watching his redemption arc with great enthusiasm only for him to stumble yet again, and it broke my heart. At the time, this was absolutely groundbreaking, defying the standards of traditional children's television. No shocking gore or violent deaths to go against BS&P, (Jet's death is so elegantly handled) just excellent nuanced characterizations.

1:27:10 to answer why Toph couldn't call Aang out, Toph uses earth bending to see and also to feel when someone is lying but she can't do that up on Appa. There's no earth for her to use her Seismic Sense and feel that Aang was lying (also that is the official name of her unique ability) Something else sorta related is back in the Tales of Ba Sing Se episode, the cutest part about Katara telling Toph she's pretty is that Toph can tell when people lie so she knew Katara meant it wholeheartedly! This was before we knew about her lie detecting abilities so I couldn't mention it back then without spoiling

"dont flatter yourself. you were never even a player." is a cold line. love it. and i love "just take the bear" i just love mai just not caring enough to fight for a bear. def my favorite season, so incredible. long feng never said he had appa he was more implying that if they cause a problem then him and the dai li can make life harder for him, and in turn make it harder for his search for appa. remember, long feng got appa after the gaang had already been in ba sing sae for a while and most likely after his talk with the gaang. also, the palace guards werent brainwashed by long feng, to them aang and his group was an invading force and the gaang knew theyre just people doing their jobs but they had to dispatch them anyways so they could see the earth king.

SidekickSteph

I LOVE seasons 1 & 2, especially season 2. That being said, I will always choose season 3 as my favorite. Pretty neck and neck, but it’s just all so good. The start is great, the middle is Amazing, the ending is TV and storytelling perfection! Can’t wait for you to finish the show, it honestly changes you with how good it is.

Rufino Torres

This is the first time we see uncle yell at Zuko and for this the first time. Throughout the series, I think uncle has been gently trying to guide zuko into realizing “your destiny, and what do you want” thing on his own. But he finally told him outright because the gentle guidance hasn’t worked and was about to make another huge mistake

Manny

It won’t have healed the scar sadly

Manny

In a way Aang also chose wrong since he throughout the season Aang has been forced to either choose his love or power and control. We see it in the avatar episode where he has to choose his happiness or power Then in the serpent pass where he decides to turn off his emotions over his feelings for love. All those moments is Aang choosing responsibility as the avatar over himself and he is taught that he shouldn’t do that. Katara is the tether that helps Aang not lose himself so it makes sense that he is forced to choose her or the avatar spirit Aang isn’t supposed to choose responsibility over himself because Aang needs to learn to be the avatar without losing himself to the role of the avatar. He is the avatar but he is also a person

MGH

Yes, Toph invented metal bending.. The GOAT at 12 years old.

Ghgh

Agni kai is a fire duel we saw zuko challenge admiral zhao in season 1 and he beat him its also how zuko got his scar when he dueled his father.

AdmiralZhou

Great finale! It always hurts seeing Zuko make this decision, and seeing Iroh's look always gets me. Iroh cares for Zuko so much and tries to help Zuko be on the right path, like when he was raising his voice at Zuko when they were in front of Appa. It's just so sad watching Iroh see Zuko go down the wrong path

kaliwali

Ooo that makes so much sense with Toph! True And yes, the moment with Katara she can definitely feel was honest 🤍

Binho

Yeah. As I said before: everybody is gangsta until Iroh raises his voice. 😂 I said that back then at the end of Season 1 because I knew this scene near the end of Season 2 was coming. Iroh rarely raises his voice, so it really catches us off guard when he does. But there’s even more to it that fits his character so well. For almost the entirety of Season 1, Iroh is presented as goofy and funny, and he seems like he doesn’t really care about much of anything (besides tea, lol). Zuko is desperately trying to capture Aang, while Iroh is mostly just chilling and going along for the ride. He shows concern for Zuko sometimes (during the Agni Kai against Zhao, for example), but he is almost never completely serious. Iroh is old and wise, and he has been through a whole lot. He decided to take the best from his experiences, so he learned to give things the importance they deserve in the moment and not waste too much energy on things that are unlikely to change, or on people who aren’t ready to listen. It’s something we usually learn to some extent as we get older. Not nearly to the extent that Iroh has, perhaps, but still. He knows what really matters and when it’s the right time to act. So when a person like him, with all his wisdom and credibility, raises his voice, you know he means business, and you’d better stop and listen. It was really nice seeing your instant look of surprise the moment he raised his voice at Zuko. 😂

Binho

And probably the oldest one. I mean, he was friends with monk Gyatsu, so he is probably even older than Bumi. A powerful spiritualist monk.

PsyghKick

The gall to end the season on such a spectacular loss!

GrossBee

I bet Maomao would want to eat some of that poisonous guru... oh wait. 😂

Dude Longcouch

"This is not how I thought this season would end! I don't accept it!" 😂😂😂 Strap in, Kali... you know how this show has gotten better and better all the time since the beginning? Yeah, that doesn't really stop in Book 3.

Ello -ˋˏ ༻❁𝓚𝓪𝓵𝓲𝔀𝓪𝓵𝓲❀༺ ˎˊ-, yeah great tribute to Mako, incredible actor and all around person from things others have said about him. Iroh, had to put an edge to his tone to cut through the B.S. that keeps circulating on repeat that haunts Zuko's mind. It was the right amount of "tough love" anyone should ever get as love should honestly never be for someone's comfort-ability but to give them what anyone needs in times of crisis which is understanding, compassion, and a heavy dose of reality based on their love ones needs not their own! Funny, I just wrote a proverb as I tend to do when hearing something that inspires me to do so while re-watching the movie "Excalibur" (1982) from another reactor, great flick never get tired of it. Well, what I wrote seems to fit right in with this episode with what Iroh is telling Zuko coincidentally: 𝓦𝓱𝓪𝓽 𝓘'𝓿𝓮 𝓵𝓮𝓪𝓻𝓷𝓮𝓭 𝓪𝓵𝓵 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝔂𝓮𝓪𝓻𝓼 𝓸𝓯 𝓶𝔂 𝓵𝓲𝓯𝓮, 𝓷𝓸 𝓶𝓪𝓽𝓽𝓮𝓻 𝓱𝓸𝔀 𝓬𝓸𝓷𝓯𝓾𝓼𝓮𝓭, 𝓱𝓮𝓪𝓻𝓽-𝓫𝓻𝓸𝓴𝓮𝓷, 𝓸𝓻 𝓭𝓮𝓼𝓹𝓪𝓲𝓻 𝓻𝓲𝓭𝓭𝓵𝓮𝓭 𝔂𝓸𝓾 𝓪𝓻𝓮, 𝓪 𝓰𝓸𝓸𝓭 𝓹𝓮𝓻𝓼𝓸𝓷 𝓬𝓪𝓷 𝓱𝓮𝓪𝓵 𝓽𝓱𝔂𝓼𝓮𝓵𝓯 𝔀𝓲𝓽𝓱 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓼𝓲𝓶𝓹𝓵𝓲𝓬𝓲𝓽𝔂 𝓸𝓯 𝓪𝓬𝓴𝓷𝓸𝔀𝓵𝓮𝓭𝓰𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓣𝓻𝓾𝓽𝓱 𝓸𝓯 𝓢𝓮𝓵𝓯, 𝔀𝓱𝓲𝓬𝓱 𝓬𝓪𝓷 𝓹𝓾𝓻𝓰𝓮 𝓮𝓿𝓮𝓷 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓭𝓪𝓻𝓴𝓮𝓼𝓽 𝓭𝓲𝓼𝓮𝓪𝓼𝓮𝓭 𝓽𝓪𝓲𝓷𝓽𝓮𝓭 𝓬𝓸𝓻𝓻𝓾𝓹𝓽𝓲𝓸𝓷 𝓯𝓻𝓸𝓶 𝓪𝓷𝔂𝓸𝓷𝓮'𝓼 𝓱𝓮𝓪𝓻𝓽.

If you don't know who you are and what traits your core persona chooses to adhere too, you'll never know in what direction you'll need go. This is why they call these tenets a Moral Compass as they guide you along your life's journey. Otherwise, your sailing haphazardly, blindly flailing in random directions never going anywhere or worse dangerously putting yourself in precarious predicaments that will crash you against the vices of life's rocky shores to your own oblivion. Word of advice best get two plushies, or your daughter is going to go Blue Spirit on you and "free" Appa into her care I'm afraid lol.

Josue

Such a great season. 'The Guru' is an incredible episode. So many great character moments. Even after seeing it several times I still get chills watching Aang go through the chakras, and Toph metalbending. An Agni Kai is a formal fire duel. That is what Zuko was in against his father when he got burned. Can't wait for Book 3 reactions!

Aaron White

The most heartbreaking thing for me is when Zuko makes his choice .. the look on his face, the desperation when he’s fighting Aang is manic. His father to love and accept him is all he ever wanted and to return home with his honor. His uncle was the only one to accept him for who he is, but when Azula offers everything he’s ever wanted on a silver platter. It’s almost as if waiving drugs in front of a recovering addict. I damn near cry everytime I see the conflict within him. The last time he wanted to do a good thing his face was burned by his father.. it’s like he’s scared to ever help anyone again . Sorry for the long message and thank you for your reaction!

Onno Smits

OK, yeah. Uncle Iroh might be my favorite character in all of TV. Up there with Ted Lasso and Phil Coulson for sure!

Alex Aguilera

Kali sounds like a disappointed mother with Zuko and the actions that he takes.

MorahSDG

Katara was using her healing abilities to help calm Jet's mental anguish while trying to delve into his mind. Basically putting on a cold compress onto his psyche to help him focus his inner thoughts.

Ron B

Saying what I say in all the reactions for this episode...season 3 is absolutely phenomenal, but I still think the way The Crossroads of Destiny ends makes it my absolute favorite episode in the whole series. It's akin to The Empire Strikes Back for me! 🥹 Also kali, since you asked as it happened in the episode but didn't mention it in your summary afterwards; when Azula is taunting Zuko to see if he wanted to challenge her to an "Agni Kai" that was the same fight that Zuko had with Zhao (before he became a General) and it's also the same fight he was forced to have with his father and how he got his scar. It's a duel between 2 firebenders for their honor to see who gets burned first.

UTU49

"SEE YOU IN BOOK THREE NEXT WEEK" -- Aaaah. One of my all-time favorite sentences.

Retna

Hi Kali to answer your question whats a Agni Kai, You saw one with Zuko in the 1st few episodes vs Admiral Zhao on the ship. And the other infamous one where Zuko vs his own father and got his scar.

C. J. Ramirez

Crazy cause Aang actually died katara brought him back to life

mitchhamilton64

to give a direct answer, its a fire duel. two fire benders in a one on one.

mitchhamilton64

can we please stop spreading this false information mako sang leaves from the vine on his deathbed? there is no source that says that was the case and pretty much everyone says that he finished most of his lines in a studio before season 2 aired with his replacement greg baldwin coming in for some small pick ups. the reason i hate this is because its people trying to make an already sad scene have way more weight when the weight around it already is enough to be sad. i just find it incredibly disrespectful to change what actually happened to make it more sad when that was someones life.

mitchhamilton64

HER NAME IS TOPH BEI PHONG AND SHE INVENTED METAL BENDING! just referencing the recent live action show.

𝓐𝓙 'ᴿᵉᵃᶜᵗʳ·ᵗᵛ ᴳʳᵃⁿᵈ ᴱˣᵗʳᵃᵒʳᵈⁱⁿᵃⁱʳᵉ

Hey MitchHamilton64, your absolutely right! I do believe I read that somewhere and thought I read a source at one time. So yeah, I really should of checked again to confirm a source. I'll do a sweep and see if I can come up with anything concrete! Can't seem to find anything legitimate, so thanks MicthHamilton64 for being a voice of reason. I'll gladly edited that out so as not to exasperate with false rumors. Regardless, its an incredibly well done scene by the script writers and of course Makoto "Mako" Iwamatsu whose last episode was this finale The Crossroads of Destiny that was credited.

TheJoeKerr

You’re going through these so fast I can’t keep up! Loving everything tho!

Null_Returns

For Me it's like this Most Fav to Least = 1) S02E15 2) 3rd Season 3) 2nd Season - S02E15 4) 1st Season. Almost everyone cried on S02E15 on Iroh's story. And when we see the Mako tribute I went there to find out why. I now kow why and that was the perfet place to put the tribute for him. Also I think Zuko chose this as this was his absolutely needed thing for the heart, the best desire, and that's why Season 3 is so much up in my fav list. Anyway. Looking forward for Season 3. Again please for Season 3 also put all as 4 parter and add the 17 in the last one(13-17) so the Sozin's Commet, series finale would be again the four parter finale(18-21). Loved your entire series. Would love to see your final impression for all characters in a separate part if possible how they evolve how will you rate them.

Shane

I hated this to end Zukos arc, it had been SO long, he'd made so much progress, any other show would end his arc there. But I guess it is unrealistic for people to just do a 180 and stick to it. Toph and Katara are just on another level. Katara solo'd Azula, solo'd Zuko, solo'd a whole room of Dai Li. As powerful as Aang is, having Katara be an absolute monster, is, to this day, refreshing. Toph also invents metal bending yeah, she's just that girl.

Dylan Holman

I need it to be next Thursday already 😂 IM SO EXCITED FOR BOOK 3!!!

Duderson Dude

“Don’t flatter yourself, you were never even a player” that’s so damn cold lol I love Azula

ConsistentlyStupid

One thing I've always appreciated about the finale of Book 2, is how it's also a callback to The Drill. The Fire Nation has spent decades hammering at Ba Sing Se from the outside to no avail, so instead Azula takes it down from the inside.

JT_45

Fun fact when katara catches aang after hes struck by lightning the pose is similar to the "pieta" statue by Michelangelo. This statue shows mother Mary holding the body Jesus after crucifixion. The details the artist put into this show is remarkable.
