¨But the effects were decent¨. we viewers ALWAYS think with this of Shyamalan´s The Last Airbender movie. Also somewhat the cover of the play. Even though this episode of 2008 and the movie of 2010. Also this episode the one that birthed the theory of Cabbage Guy a Fire Nation spy that keeps track of everything and besides Ozai the main villain. Like some Sith Lord! ^^

Greatest recap episode of all time

Zachary Herrick

My vote is for Korra first before the movie too. I think it would be a better experience for you.

Hannah Smoak

this really was the coolest way to recap everything for the finale without doing the longest previously on … such a great episode

Stan Flamey

Why? The movies main complaint is that the main plot is spoiled in korra. And i dont think the movie spoils anything in korra other than the existence of 1 location wich isnt exactly a twist in korra

James McCarthy

Delays happen veggie no worries hope things work out better for you soon (:

Alex Hopps

I can finally say what i didnt want to say after the last episode. Its nice to have a good solid side quest again. Abit of fun in-between the chaos. Its kind of odd to me to be watching this episode a couple of days before im going to see the game of thrones: the mad king stage play. Thinking about the casting choices and the effects, i dont know if this has me more worried or excited

PumpkinSparks

During the intro my brain immeadiately went to "oof, this truly is the right episode for Veggie today!" This is such a creative way to do a recap before the finale while also making light of common complaints - Katara is just whiny and preachy - Sokka is nothing more than the comic relief - what the hell happened to Jet? "you know, it was very unclear" - Aang literally wasn't present for the first events after book 2, so now beginning with Act 3 he comes in late and he (and we) are told what he missed - Katara being shipped with everyone but Aang (I personally still prefer Zutara as well. So rock on Ember Island Players!) - Yue has moon dutys to attend XD ... oh so many bangers! This is actually a really interesting play from an in universe perspective. Cause from the audience pov they are watching a play where they follow the bad guys and laugh with them and cry with them and everything. They cosplay them! I think there must have been something in the advertising like "follow in the footsteps of our enemy" or many might not have stayed for act 2 and 3, let alone rewatch it which many definitely did

Cari Ann

Believe i left that comment on his reaction to the movie lmao

James McCarthy

Definitely watch Legend of Korra next before the Avatar film. I do not know about the Netflix series as i have not seen it yet but i have heard it is very good. Likely best to go back to that after Korra though since 3rd book is not even complete for that yet

PumpkinSparks

I haven't seen the movie yet, so I can't really say which would be best. I trust those who have watched it though. If they say it might be a bit spoilery, then Korra first might be best. Star Wars was actually a really good analogy. Cause I think there is merit to watching it either way - chronological (preferably including Rogue One) or release order, the weird way that reactor did feels absolutely bonkers to me though...

Fusssel

Wait, was the Shyamalan Movie a retelling of the Ember Island play and not the show itself?

Lisette C.

I absolutely hated this episode on my first watch through, but now I love it 😂❤️ At the time I was excited to advance the plot, but it's such a great idea for a recap episode so that everyone are caught up before the finale ❤️ And I love the meta writing of the great divide not being important and of Jet's death/not-death and Sokka just saying "You know, it was really unclear", lol 😂❤️

Embran

lmao I swear i didn´t looked, copy pasted and changed up the content. This was from my own mind. Plus it´s soething we all think. I was just the first to comment it here.

Embran

Shyamalan Movie is a retelling of season one. Ember Island play a joke of the writers of ATLA being meta about themselves. Ironically two years later something came that this episode could take a jab to, but obviously not intended.

qowkerf uinbfesd

If you watch the first two episodes of Korra, there is nothing the movie can spoil for you. You could just go Korra 1+2, then Legend of Aang, then the rest of Korra. Looking forward to the finale!

Ashley Evers

I think if you think it through, most of the stuff that the play gets right make sense, with a couple exceptions (not sure how they knew so much about Boomy's trials 🤣). It was a bit funny that you were saying "How would they know about this!" when Katara and Zuko were imprisoned together and Katara's talking about how attracted she is to Zuko, as if that actually resembled what happened in the cave 🤣 Of course they know they were imprisoned together, Azula put them in there 🤣 As for you last little bit about Star Wars, I think you kind of answered your own question as to why people would watch them in that order 🤣 The biggest twist in the series is revealed right at the end of Empire, so if you magically aren't spoiled yet, then you get to experience that reveal as intended. I guess you could ask why do the prequels before Return, and I would guess it's so that you can get really invested in Anakin to up the impact of everything that happens between him and Luke in their final confrontation.

James McCarthy

Worth noting the plays knowledge they say came from interviews with many people, gossip and testamonies as the fire nation has gone many places following the avatar and likely gathered soldiers reports and interigated people as they well. However their information is very flawed they got the locations mostly right but often what happened wrong because they do not have the gangs true perspective. E.g Jets attack they had Katara in on the attack because the did not know she and the others tried to stop Jet They thought Zuko captured the avatar at the fortress and was rescued by the blue spirit they did not even mention Zhao being there They do not understand how Toph's abilities work thinking it is sonic rather than seismic sense They thought Zuko joined the gang during the day of black sun not after Ect... they have a good idea of where he went but the play is based on a lot of hearsay so is very inaccurate (:

James McCarthy

Great dual purpose episode that seems like filler but is a great way to summarise the show (even if it gets lots wrong on purpose) and place dread into the audience and the heroes since all this time they think they will win and then the play asks the ultimate question...but what if you do not win? A great way to set up speculation before the final (: Also we got a nice Toph and Zuko moment via discussing Iroh's feelings about Zuko when Zuko was not around

Diego Zenhäusern

Basicaly 100% my feelings as well. I found it to be a stupid waste of time the first time around and now it's one of my favourite episodes.😅

Cari Ann

I haven't seen the legend of aang yet, so I will watch it whenever you do with you for my first time.

Diego Zenhäusern

Personally, I'd say that watching the movie before Korra is perfectly fine. I don't think it spoils any major (and barely any minor) plot points or characters. On the contrary, I think it actually gives you some additional investment into/understanding of a certain character and a particular burden of them (which I got rationally when watching but didn't feel as acutely as when I'd watched the movie first). That said, I also have no issue with you checking out Korra first, and I'll watch along either way! :)

felipeluzz

OMG someone that likes shadow tactics!! I love RTT games, if you like the genre I have several recommendations for you haha

PumpkinSparks

How do you know you're getting old? "I should treat myself. Maybe I'll buy a fancy vacuum!" XD Honstly though, I just upgraded to an automatic vacuum that scanned the rooms into his brain and now I can pur him on schedule or tell him to clean the living room and he just does it. He only vacuums, but I love my little guy! Also, nice review you wrote there! Quite accurate ;)

Cari Ann

Yup the great divide part was making fun of how disliked the episode was. This is also when I figured out how people looked at katara, this and a meme of her touching her necklace saying "someone: takes a breath* katara- 'my mother used to breath'" lol. They originally wanted to have a male character to teach aang earth bending so I think that's what they were showing with toph's character

T_phoenix

In the beginning they named all the sources for the script for the play, including "surprisingly knowledgeable cabbage merchant"😂 This was the line someone commented earlier in the episode Jet died: "it was unclear" P.S. happy to hear sparky sparky boom man sound effect come back. Thank you for that😂😂

call_me_Greg

I agree that you should watch Korra first.

Erica

I def had love-hate feelings toward this episode when i first saw it, it was hilarious but I also cringed along with the Gaang at the same time. Now it’s just so fun and brilliant to me. Yue and her moon duties line especially gets me 😂

Charm9117

I honestly don’t think the new movie spoils much for Korra. At most it sets up a plot line that appears in the first season of the show so I think you’d be fine to watch the movie first

Rey's Got Plans

Yay! I'm really happy you're considering doing Korra first! It's the way it was meant to be and honestly I think you're going to enjoy the animation more if you see them in order of tech available as well!

Rey's Got Plans

Still better than the Shamalama movie 😂

Steven

After hearing about your troubles with utility bills I just KNEW this episode was going to be exactly what you needed! Onto the finale!

Ruins of Wonderland

I've been impatiently waiting for you to see this one 😩😂 perfect Veggie episode. Poor really unclear Jet 🥀

Annabellae Priestly

Great reaction! As far as the watch order - I agree with doing Korra first.

Timfoil

I think it would be interesting to see someones reaction to the movie before Korra

Time

Hey veggie just wanna say sorry for everything happening in your life right now. Your videos genuinely bring comfort to my downtime and I would be at a loss if they ever stopped so I really hope your able to continue to do what you enjoy and bring content to us, it hasn’t gone unnoticed and take as much time as you need in the future I will forever keep the Patreon subscription up as long as I can.

Cinnamon troll

Jet is both dead and alive until you open the box

STAYoung

No... it is YOUUUUU who are going down If you look at the credits; Suki’s actress plays stage Yue (so still a Sokka love interest), Azula’s actress plays stage Katara, Momo/Appa’s actor plays stage Bumi Jet and Ozai, and Zuko’s stage actor is played by Zuko's real life brother Derek Basco. If I remember correctly this episode was the result of budgeting constraints: either have a cheap episode or give the staff a pay cut. A lot of shows, to my knowledge, have a cheap episode that's a 'bottle episode' in one location or clip show taking footage from previous episodes but Avatar of course raised the bar. It's not a spoiler but the budget in the final four episodes gets put to GOOOOD use. Primarily in the music department where they have an actual orchestra instead of the usual, amazing, but small team. Hearing the soundtrack live in concert was incredible. Can't wait for the finale.

ClemSays

Hey Veggie ! Regarding the viewing order, I would do Korra first too. It's not so much about spoiling facts, but more about the emotional impact. I think it would have been lessened for me if I has watched the movie first. Discovering these different stories in the same way we did will be awesome ! Of course, I'll still watch both with you, regardless of what you choose 🙂

mizu

i would say: korra first, then the movie and also, don’t bother with the netflix adaption ;))

Joseph_Darke7

the actor playing Aang is a women this was once a common practice in ballet and dance where women would have male roles. fun fact Dante basco who voices Zuko his brother Derek Basco voices Zuko in the play. also i think the reason Toph's actor is male is because the writer isn't about to show that a little blind girl actually defeated members of the fire nation.

Giggy

I would suggest watch the first season of Korra and then dive into Legend of Aang before proceeding to Season 2 of Korra

Logical Dreamer

Just to mash fandoms for a moment, but Lauren Lopez would totally play Aang in this. Also, I am waiting for you to make the connection that Starkid stole dialogue from ATLA in AVPM. A big one is the scene with Aang and Katara when he says, "I thought we were going to be together, but we're not," which is word for word what Ginny said to Harry after the Yule Ball. Someone actually did a stage production of this, I think, in Chicago(?) a few weeks ago. Someone posted a couple of TikToks from the production, and they are hilarious.

hopefulSith

If you have the patience for it, if you liked Avatar and like star wars, I would REALLY recommend watching the clone wars animated series (2008). Dave Filoni who did a lot of Avatar also did a lot of clone wars. It's long though so I'd recommend watching arcs rather than just single episodes at a time.

hopefulSith

woops I accidentally sent already. I wanted to add, talking about weird episode orders that show has the WEIRDEST order. Starwars.com official site has a list of the episodes in chronological order and at times it's wild how it jumps around. Almost everyone agrees that for that chronological is best though. As for the play, sources include pirates and a surprisingly knowledgeable merchant of cabbage.

Jake M

"Did Jet just die?" "You know, it's really unclear..." Great meta-joke XD
