what we call Synergy not bad effects one ship down  how many more to go 48 million when you look past the Horizon there you go oh my God  the wall is impenetrable and heavily guarded impossible to scale I know you think I'm being  Reckless but has cornered the Avatar and he's not going to stop until he has him one way  or another this is where my journey ends no no you're the best part of the show I know  search the coastline for Fishers they could provide a pathway inside lieen would have  bee
n proud to have you as his father oh I love these two together so much love remember  your Breath of Fire you could save your life out there they have such good connection these  two actors we'll meet again after I have the Avatar he a good good actor guys look at this  look at him crying is the mark of good acting everyone this is bad isn't it they mean  business but so do we it say it's 5050 7030 6040 where are you going to even the odds  what how you're wondering why the command ship isn't le
ading the attack weren't you the  one who pointed out a frontal assault on the water benders would be fruitless well  yes but so it would make sense to attack on multiple fronts yes open a new front  with one ship one ship but not one vessel oh well that scientist guy really screwed  things over oh this isn't our work no this comes courtesy of our spies in omage this  is just a prototype damn it it's far too small to carry any kind of significant  fighting force you of all people should know tha
t Victory doesn't always depend on the  numbers but it should get the job done what job Annihilation wow that two hours went by quick huh pretty cool this is where the first movie  ended still waiting for that sequel I thought I made myself clear women are not allowed in combat  I thought I showed you how stupid that is you know we can make a difference we how all the women are  going to fight yeah let us fight man got to be at least one woman who's like I really don't want  to get out here actu
ally I like things the way they are what good is it relying on the past when  it stops us from having a future when it makes us do War work honey even she's coming around maybe  that's his wife western side of the wall needs reinforcement you can help them repair the damage  see if their Warriors need any other assistance and now it's going to be on his mind the entire  fight he's not going to be focused I know he's going to be like all those pathetic women back  here I need you to go with uway
and help her move the people away from the wall but most importantly  make sure the princess stays safe for sure sure I swear I won't leave her side what a great great  assignment for this guy who has to has a crush on her go women go women Parker sent you to me  he told us to help you in any way we can we haven't finished our training yet but try our  best oh boy you can start by reinforcing that section if you spot any incoming Fireballs  don't try to take them on yourself let me know yes mast
er Katara mastera call me boss boss  Katara boss lady qara all right the Moon the Moon Admiral the water venders draw their strength  from the Moon the balloon I suggest you pause the attack until Daybreak no that isn't just any  moon it's the ice Moon between the physical and spirit worlds grow thin on this night see  he's smart he is smart when I received the fire Lord's orders to conquer the north I knew  Brute Force wasn't going to be enough I needed an edge you're right to try looked up to
the  sky and learned to water bend by watching the moon push and pull the tide seem to have a lot of  respect for the culture their lives come from the spirit of the ocean while their powers come from  the spirit of the Moon these same Spirits give up their immortality for one night every year  to be among the water benders xia you're not thinking of tampering with the spirit world are  you godamn R wonder how big they're going to go I mean got to do what you got to do man yeah if  you want to w
in victory at all cost killing the ocean Spirit would deprive water benders around  the world of their lives I'm not a monster oh thank God I'm only going to kill the moon Xiao  cannot be allowed to meddle with the Primal forces of nature in doing so he will throw the  entire world out of balance I don't even think oai would approve of that are you okay something  terrible is about to happen everyone head to the Palace you'll be safer there Momo just sit there  I swear to God I'll stop watching
right now now I'll stop watching right now something happens  to Momo nothing Momo's fine good job Momo you actually made yourself useful oh my God no way  did they really they wouldn't there's water healing his he alive barely water heel  look at his poor little flopping body man that make me feel so real they  wouldn't killed that'd be too far show where are we wow they really brought  that to life it's the most sacred spot in the north the waters that feed this Grove are  heated by the Earth
Hot Springs makes stakes more personal I love Momo give him to me this is  where the priest brought me when I was sick oh my god oh thank you Momo you dumb dummy don't scare me like  like that oh oh poor mom if they killed off Momo is this show I would have gotten up  and walked out for right now what is that something that shouldn't be here why don't you  go warn people it's a war balloon a war balloon stolen from AMU what I can tell this one's not  designed for combat just transport how do you
know that cuz I helped design the thing help is  very little important but you're acting like you really like the spearhead of it General iro  either you help me find the spirits or watch as I burn this whole place to the ground jeez  Lise such a good actor I'm so surprised I had no interest seeing Jo like n so good Avatar  there's nowhere left to run go stop Shia I'll deal with him go easy enough people have been  hurt already I don't care I wasn't talking to you o You' learned some many trick
s but I  didn't come this far to lose to you drown him you little peasant you found a master haven't you yes you're looking at her oh [ __ ] but his fire breath will save his life  we got company we need to stop sh he's trying to kill the ocean of moon Spirits he can't that  would mean the end of our people Ang is aware of this guys yin and yang yes am I going to watch him  kill fish right now you don't remember this I do and I don't want to watch it happen in liveaction  form even oai wouldn't
want that oai lacks Vision you're right oai doesn't he can't see the bigger  picture whatever you do to that Spirit I'll unleash on you tfold this can still work out for  you iro once I take my place as the new Fire Lord you can stand by my side as the new Fire Lord the  dragon of the West can rise again as long as he bows before s the moon Slayer oh found himself a  good title I am a legend now it will tell stories about me for Generation Xiao the moonslayer Xiao  put that fish down no matter w
hat you think this isn't power do you realize what I can do fish  has been out of water too long I can wipe out an entire race of Benders can you imagine what  that's like yes you can yes I can you want to rule the world but if you do this there won't  be a world to rule so release his spirit and I'll go with you ziao doesn't understand science  do you think anyone cares about you how much of a threat will the Avatar be once I eliminate  water bending you don't matter matter anymore knows how to
cut deep man the fish has been out of  water for a long time you guys it's not a normal fish well is this as slow as I  think it is or is oh no don't watch boy y whoa I like these visuals though this  plan is so dumb why I don't think it's dumb and it's con crazy shots it's  consequential for everyone city has beened none of you guys can do literally anything anymore it's way too far yeah this is really harsh I mean yeah I think  the visuals are really well done though on this black and white a
nd the colors coming in cuz the  only thing providing colors to fire right now really oh my gosh iro unleashed the Moon is gone there's  no hope now it's over the Avatar's power is great but it pales before the  power of the elemental Spirits that's right yes give it to me I want it I  want it now give it to me now it's my don't do this you'll be lost forever  I should have been lost 100 years ago this isn't my time or my world I  couldn't save my world I can save this one even the Fire Nation s
oldiers  are hoping he does a good job I go man go they did it give me what I  want give me what I want yes Godzilla it really is a a Kaiju what just  happen Ang has given himself over to the ocean Spirit allowing it to channel its  rage through him and access the power of the Avatar got to reach him there is no  Ang anymore you go capture him he's like maybe not change my mind here than this  Spirit you alive what what is that that is wrath the Avatar there is no Avatar not anymore we must go n
o no don't go we must  we can't we must what about guara there there she is you guys got this wow don't let me go this Jo can fire Ben can he yeah he can we haven't seen him  though huh he took everything from me you're alive see can't fire B okay I mean I assume they all can  I just we Haven seen him why would you be put in charge of an army if you  can't fire just haven't seen him do it at all yet I think we have seen  him actually don't call traitor traitor I really enjoyed the fight scenes y
ou ruined everything the Avatar was  mine my mission your mission was a sham you have to have realized that somewhat did  you really think the fire lord was going to take you back oai was playing with you it  was all a game oai never actually expected him to find the Avatar and the winner is the  one without the scar from Daddy oai was just using you as motivation for your sister  damn he knows a lot I know and once again continuing to pit the siblings against each  other you're lying and me you
're lying who do you think was my Ally through all this oh  right they did reveal that who convinced the f Fire Lord to send me the Yuan archers who  identifi the blue Spirit sword aula told me everything I needed to know it was a Zula all  along you were the fire in which her iron was forged creatives was just so much more  interested it's Zuko story it's so obvious and it's good it's really freaking good  he's a good actor though too like every actor they got the the the patience with  the sto
rytelling the way they breathe the emotion yeah I Ru although I feel like that fish should have been the one to kill him for  Revenge you know kill him his partner this is so cool I love  it destroy everything murder them all fire you guys really should just  give up huh you really should just give up I know have you seen this  doing anything to it no no it's embarrassing or it's no it's  not doing anything is it de no whoa go let's make it Water Godzilla I know the effects are kind of dodgy for
a lot of people but I really  like what I'm looking at right now oh I love this like they map this creature There's No Escape guys just move on especially cuz you're in the ocean and it's  the ocean Spirit maybe they don't comprehend that but clearly it's an ocean creature whoa oh I love  the mixture of like these super blue and the water nature always points out the Folly of man right  Godzilla taught me that Ang is lost all that's left is a vengeful Spirit who will roam endlessly  looking for
its partner but we'll never find it the world will be forever out of balance there  must be something we can do some way to bring the Moon Back to Life I've got it s thank you  I love that our eyes are so blue blue and this gray should be your first sign that something's  going to go wrong that you don't like wait what are you doing I was touched by the moon Spirit as  a child so I have its life within me it's time for me to give it back this isn't a sad thing it's  pretty sad do you know why t
he ocean and moon spirits take physical form for a night cuz they  want to know what it is to be mortal why that sounds this is awful no honey it's worth the  risk to be alive I'd rather be a spirit even for just one night especially controlling the  moon or the ocean cool he don't be an idiot you're not just the Avatar you're my family  this is your world we are your family and youa please please don't oh my God the poor  dead fish I think they done a really good job on capturing the emotion Me
lancholy and all  this no no like the Fantastical despair but the beauty oh he sees that his love  is back I must run to the Moon I know you think you don't belong in this  you were never meant to die 100 years ago if you had you wouldn't be here  now and the world needs you I need you it was a nice monologue bubble little ice ball it's a nice call  back to the first episode It's Full Circle two fishes team Avatar what it ends look at  all those dead people you think we'll get a post credit scen
e with Toof no  that would be cool though huh man I do love Toof I know she's my favorite a lot  of people are my favorite on this show I know women do your job start healing this is  why you shouldn't be fighting yeah God so much destruction I was really connected to that  guy for the five minutes he was on screen baby bummed and that other guy who had no name at all where you going I have no idea is Saka still  frozen there just with the fish I'm sorry I couldn't protect her what you're going
be with  you forever she's a moon she's a fish now right there daughter always made her own choices that's  why we didn't let the woman make choices here not something you or anyone could have stopped we  don't know that she sacrificed herself for all of us me I watched it happen really you're going  to make this moment about you man I stood on the sidelines While others fought and died being  the warrior I could never be in a moment when she must have been scared you made sure she  wasn't alone
you don't have to be a warrior be a hero you're doing your duty man you're being  a protector do you remember how I told you water is the element of change I'd forgotten what that  truly meant change is the key to New Life growth equals change you reminded me of that but what if  you don't have to change cuz you're perfect the way you already are and I'm deeply grateful that  you did you know there's a whole new generation of water benders who need training we could use  your help Master qara t
hanks but Ang still has a journey to complete and so do I he still hasn't  even learned water bending after all the Avatar still has to learn water bending yeah in that case  he couldn't have asked for a better Master yeah I wasn't sure I was going to feel when I saw this  like weird old guy makeup but I really like the performer very sincere I actually think beat up  old guy makeup is pretty good for you what is it water from from our Oasis a reminder of what we've  gone through and an invitati
on to return anytime a I'd like qara I do too A lot of people do  not I know a lot of people don't I don't feel like she's very reflective of her animated  counterpart but I like her for what this is what do you think Prince uko what do you  want to do I don't know I'm tired another call back to the first episode then you  should rest or a second man needs his rest everyone's getting the single tier moment  this episode they were like here give me some High Drops we don't know maybe he really di
d  it I Costless no Fire Nation did because I failed to be the Avatar what do you mean you  did the cool thing heang This Is War there's going to be losses there's going to be pain none  of that is your fault and the fire Benders aren't giving up we have to prepare for whatever they  throw out us next and so stop worrying about the past and start thinking about what you  still have to do just train train go learn something buddy I think I understand something  guat was trying to tell me he told
me let go of the past or all never of a future yes that  is what he said this is what a lot of people have been saying that's right you're going to  learn water bending and I'm going to make sure of that and then Earth bending t means back to  aosu so anyone else hungry why is everything always about your stomach gu it's where his  brain is says the kid with the melon head oh I could go for a melon or a cabbages cabbages  agnella took heavy damage our forces were en aable to take the city also i
t seems the Avatar  remains alive I thought this dude died no he was attacked he didn't die Conquering the north was  always an unlikely proposition if that was the case then why attack the north at all funes  man why not distraction oh man you learned from the best didn't you buddy he learned  from the best the north was never the true Target oh my gosh for the first time in a  century omashu is ours and now only Bing say stands between us and the Total Conquest  of the earth Kingdom oh my good
ness give me here give me here Zilla give it to me brilliant  strategy was the fire lord aware Prince Zuko was among the forces at agnella loss of life  among our troops was substantial still his son he still kind of cares no I I really don't  think he does look at him cares a tiny bit no look at him if Zuko is strong he'll survive  if not sometimes you have to sacrifice the weak yeah he cares to keep yourself strong  yes rise up bazula rise up omashu is ours wow for the Fire Nation what's next

d do more with it make it prettier okay we'll be on the animation side as an episode  itself separating from it uh I like it a lot I have some quarrels with it I got quams Chum yeah  here um I still am the least connected to a and it is Eight Episodes and the season is over and  I'm like okay well I'm excited for Zuko's Journey next season I want to see more of the Fire Nation  in isula next season this really should have just been called the Fire Nation honestly uh yeah  I would I'm I'm there w
ith you on the on the Ang quality of it I they this is the biggest they  went with Fantastical for the show that is going for the gravitas and the grid like they've done  Fantastical stuff obviously with the spirit world the other creatures there um just inherently it's  you know Fantastical with what the show is uh but to go like that big with a monster and this is a  this is a sequence that is a very popular one and to bring it to life I thought a big part of it was  about nailing down the mul
ti layers of tone there and I thought they actually did a really good job  uh interesting what I don't think they did a good job of relaying the relationship with the moon  in the ocean I feel like especially that reunion could have done been done better I feel like it's  more emotional I meant just the the when the drama was going down I still feel like the tone of  emotional importance of the ocean losing his Moon oh I mean that quality wasn't as strong to me  me no it wasn't uh but the the su
rrounding point of why he becomes the Vengeance monster literally  the whole reason but I mean the I'm talking about the parts of it that were yeah I agree with you on  on that specific quality I agree with you uh I'm talking specifically about the like the buildup  with Xiao getting ready to you know kill the fish in the way he's like laying into a and then where  with the with the um the the change in the in the lighting when it's going from red TO gray to Blue  and the destruction happening a
ll around and the loss that was occurring while a is in this form  which is like the ultimate power but it doesn't feel like Conquest it just feels um Bleak and I  thought that's those elements but yeah I mean they did have to like expositionally remind me of oh  yeah yeah that's why this is happening yeah you know like be be reunited because that's one of the  the problems with the with the show as a whole I think is um it it can sometimes get bogged down  and information overload in the for a
show that chooses to expand upon some things it also causes  a lot of things to not breathe and so there's a lot of things that happen that I I just don't care  like I personally don't care about like you know like the guy who whatever freaking uh ex-husband  guy was to princess UA oh Han yeah he's nice he's a good actor uh it's not it's not that like I  just there's so much treatment g a slow motion like I don't really give a [ __ ] honestly like  see I like that as a fight scene but the emotio
n behind it like they see that's where I'm like we  could have done without we could have done without Han's backstory of being like the ex where and we  could have Focus that into other things because it really doesn't impact the story yeah no I think  they if there that but this is where the show as a whole has a problem is is that it comes into and  look guys it's not a perfect show all right I hate to break it to y'all it's not a perfect show that  it's not a terrible show either though no I
don't I would not I saw Ron Tomatoes today it's like  got from critics it's really bad that's crazy me but from uh audience it's like middling and to  me I I'm I'm honestly at like a 70% with this I'm like a 70 to 75% 75% depending on where I'm at  with the show at at the time what episode I in yeah like two three and four I thought were really  strong six was really good these last two honestly thought were kind of middling yeah they're you  they were fine I think what they did with like Zuko
story I would definitely rank as top of the  top uh Zuko and iro was a strong connection but and you know I I I don't I think we've really went  into it a lot and I was hoping this final episode would redeem it it doesn't really redeem anything  for me it's like yeah you you I failed that failing is the Avatar it's same repetitive [ __ ]  they keep saying all the time and I was just it was like redundant and annoying and there's no  depth and and all this stuff would like you're my family a I di
dn't the show did not spend much  time with them developing like connections with each other other than they would get along you  know that was about it I I was really disappointed by that and I 1 million bajillion gazillion  percent I would exactly have that that's not a comparison to does the animated show do it  yeah they do it but it's not a comparison to the animated show yeah it's just a show as a as a  show I would 100% feel the exact same way of like I don't understand like this whole th
ing with  apparently there's a lot of off screen bonding that has occurred that we just did not get to  obviously you can't spend all your screen time with them bonding but the quality of the scenes  when they are together have to be above just you know Pleasant with them yeah and then a lot of  things are like so I don't know if this is just like nitpicky but the whole Momo scene so Momo is  healed and he's there with them when they see the balloon and then Momo just disappears where the  hell
did Momo go he could have grabbed that bag of fish you know and like they just completely  drop that part and I'm like Momo was there right why is it I don't understand why because they're  doing with the one weird thing they decided to do here which I I understand structurally like a lot  of it works for the Fire Nation but it comes at the expense of a lot of other story lines because  they've decided to expand upon the Fire Nation so much and it's clear where their interest was in  taking elem
ents from season two and three and well mainly two and then throwing it into here  um has allowed for honestly a really wonderful telling of of the Fire Nation characters from iro  which I know was a big disagree fora Saka Zuko um I'm enjoying the buildup of aula oai Xiao they're  like excellent excellent even the 41st grou the 41st Group which is I don't even remember jack  [ __ ] about them for the animated like wow I I I was so surprised by that there would be these  and what I noticed is eve
n with Momo other than like yeah of course I look at Mo how can you not  love Momo it's Momo look it's Momo but the every moment that should have like a a I don't know some  from medium to large effect of of of an emotional payoff or an emotional resounding effect it does  not quite get there even with Momo coming back like Momo being back oh thank God Momo's back but  then Saka being like Momo oh my God you idiot I had to remind myself oh yeah like seven episodes  ago they weren't getting along
you know he thought Momo was annoying like there's not really a a a  build to to to thank God it's like yeah I like this moment but I know this show is really trying  to sell me that this should be a very emotional moment for both Saka and Momo it's just kind  of like Pleasant everything is just this like medium ground and and it happens for everyone from  qara qara is better but Kara Saka all them because they dedicate so much of the fire nation which is  great but they're quality of writing i
s not there for everyone else I was going to say they have to  find a balance going into season 2 of putting that strong writing a character development from the  Fire Nation into really a and the relationships around him that that has to be a major Focus or  this show is going to completely lose me because the strongest thing about a is his connection to  the people around him not just the people but apaa and Momo there's like a whole storyline of him  and opa and their connection and you would
n't know that from this this season like they barely  have any connecting moments and it doesn't have to be like this huge thing it could be the small  details the small moments you know like like I'm not asking for a whole episode dedicated to it  I'm asking for a 10 to 15 second scene at least showing me that there's some emotion behind this  to make it more believable than what what you're handing me and expecting me to believe got to  be qualitative relationships and the bonding there is so
important and if they if the if the  relationships are not and and then whenever they talk about information of relationships it's feels  so just so repetitive honestly like Gat is really kind I love hearing about Gat the same time it  was just kind of it got to the point where it's getting again it's just and now now we're just  repetitive for saying how repetitive it is you know and it's another thing of move on you lost  your moment with katoo you that is a moment You' have lost and you I did
n't see you fully mourn  that you know but I want me to expect to believe that this has such an impact on you when even here  this episode Ang is just there in my opinion he turns into the giant monster and that's because  it's the ocean seeking Vengeance you know a isn't doing anything they call him out on he's learned  nothing this entire season what lessons has he learned he's got to let go of the p and move  on it's stop playing all the same [ __ ] Eight Episodes of the same [ __ ] told the
entire time  God yeah I don't really like this there's a lot of there's time spanning here and it and it feel  and I don't really get this it's kind of clunky in it's in its space spatial awareness some time it's  it's clunky and there's and sometimes acting can feel wooden because I don't feel there's a great  understanding of because sometimes I think qara is great and then there are other times where I  do think the way this is being captured makes her performance feel wooden but then there's
sometimes  it's so good where I'm like no I get it it's subdued she's a girl with who's got a lot of pain  and she's got like big I really liked her speed like that was the weird part to me when she's  saying like I need you Ang we're family and like I don't think this show has earned this moment  because I don't buy their family but I'm only kind but I like this scene only because I think  the actress is doing a really good job with this monologue and that's why I like it but the shows I  I'm
not into the this whole thing with like family and connection like that is an integral part but  I know we've kind of been harping on all this I've had a problem I think animated series my biggest  problem with guitar was I felt she was a Mary Sue I'm pretty sure that was a complaint I had and  I am having a similar complaint here I feel like everything comes easy to her from learning water  bending to fighting Zuko she should not be able to hold her own against Zuko I'm sorry she really  should
n't I remember when I remember there was like an episode where she was really struggling  with learning how to water bend and like Ang was helping her out and then she was getting annoyed  at Ang for helping her out so uh I remember her being like a bigger complainer in the activated  show at first uh I remember that I don't know if I would recall the same feeling and here it it  does it know that's what I mean there's and it keeps coming back everything that we keep coming  back to is a lot doe
s not feel earned yeah when they get to these certain moments because of  the way time is spent that it's rushing through things I'm like a lot is happening right now but  it is it can be a little clunky and then it it's a mixed bag where a lot is really good it's hard  because you're like the time spent is probably spent bettering the Fire Nation I don't want  them to take that away you know yeah it's so good it's so good I want them to put that same  energy into the other characters as well I
want them to share that love well but I don't know if  they're capable of doing doing that you remember when I like it probably like the second episode  I think one of my one of my actual comparisons that I was saying I was missing um like a legit  comparison was that I thought I kind of miss a little bit of the a bit bit of a light-hearted  flare that the other one that the animated show would offer and this is very very very serious  and I was I got I adjusted to the tone and I liked it a lot
a like a lot a lot of it and I the  the impression that I get is that the creators of this this one they only really want to do the  dark [ __ ] yeah so that's why the Fire Nation stuff is really good because they really want to  do the dark [ __ ] but to really know how to do more of the the side of Love or or the light side  of of of the characters that literally like I'm talking like water Nation the characters don't  that don't need the dark don't need like they don't need this like pending
of abuse you uh they  they don't really that also requires multi-layers like the dark side the darkness requires showing  the light in iro and and and Zuko showing these Shades and the other characters it requires that  in order to shine a light on them for the your quote unquote darker characters and then for your  light characters you got to know how to implement both the darkness into into the light characters  and that they I don't really feel like they have a good graph on how to how to mag
nify uh that  side of it even though I like Saka a lot I think I think the actor Saka really helps out a lot  I think whoever plays him does a really really good job I think he's really fun um and he sells  a lot of different qualities I think if there were poor actors in these roles this would be be tough  it would be tough to watch it would be tough yeah a lot of the actors really save it even when you  cut to like the different cultures the different tribes like I like I like how cultural the
show  actually feels too uh and I appreciate the amount of I know some people hate when you say this  [ __ ] but whatever it's a lot of diversity on screen and and I think the I think it does make  it feel more lived in yeah and the actors really help with that so I I think and the music's been  really solid and the action for the most part has been good yeah and so yeah I'm like a somewhere  between making an even 73% 7 5% yeah I'm at 75% I feel like it could have been a stronger ending but  I
am hopeful that they will take what was strong here and expand upon it and make the rest of it  great if there's a season two yeah they really got improving they have to they have to oh man your  show is doomed if you don't do that [ __ ] he is the m he's the quintessential character yeah no  it is and it's rough sometimes when he's on screen it is rough to pay attention to him honestly I'm  forcing myself to pay attention to so they have to fix that that's that's a must send this review  to th
e writers it's really hard it's really hard yeah um but what do you guys think overall where  would you rank it what's a 73 I I was if I was doing a letter oh my God no I want to go that  low I you wouldn't go a c i 100% would go a c i' say like a C+ okay so you're looking at 7 C  plus or B minus no you're 78 I feel like B minus is C+ C+ I'm sticking with my 75% because there  were some episodes that were were tough to get through they were tough to give all righty well  that's the end you tell
us your thoughts what would you rate US in any rating you want letters  nine out of 10 I mean out of 10 percentages the rating system over in like the UK in the Europe  na do they do grades like a plus what's the what's the rating over there I'm curious they have you  sweep chimneys they give you tea you get a tea if you do good on a test you get tea they don't  do get fish and chips ideal me okay fish and chips yep you slurp those fish and  ships why people eat them like like worm food okay thi
s is over goodbye

@hemmojito

Entire race of airbenders dies on screen. "Wow this show is really dark and mature." Momo looks dead "I SWEAR I will stop watching RIGHT NOW!" We all love you, Momo

@TheHighSorcerer

You gotta respect Zhao's determination. Dude woke up one day and said "I'm gonna murder the f'n moon" and then did it.

@DanGamingFan2846

My heart STOPPED when Momo was hit. I thought “No way they’re killing off Momo, I will murder everyone.” And the Koizilla scene was done perfectly. I know it's not the original, but as far as adaptations go, this is pretty damn good.

@Brook11223

Aang went super Saiyan literally during the whole end battle which was so badass. Ken Leung of course a cold, calculating villain and we see that also in Rush Hour.

@shirgo5700

Zhao threw a fire ball that Sokka batted away with the fan in episode 2.

@ladyhotep5189

Greg your brother Jaby's response to the water monster was "well that looks expensive "😂😂😂😂

@TheRibottoStudios

This show can be summed up in ONE sentence. "But I've gotten to the point... looks camera dead in the eye you should know this too."

@goldenduck3931

We may have watched people getting burned alive, but we draw the line at a koi fish being stabbed.

@jamesestelle7260

Regarding Hahn's character and that change. I loved it because in the anime, Hahn had basically no introduction he was just there briefly and gone. They gave him more of a stoic story and knew that the princess wasn't his, but still respected everyone, including Sokka. This was a necessary change in order for the end to work. I give this episode a 7.5.

@johnmivule-novabow8143

I'd give this show 7.5/10. Can't wait for Season 2 I agree, hope they put the same energy they used for the Firenation // Dark side of the show, to the other aspects of the show.

@grownmannn2

In the first strike against the Fire nation Navy Aang was by himself. Showing him with Sokka and Katara shows he knows already he cant do it alone. They didnt go to the spirit oasis for momo in the show they went for Aang to contact the spirits. We get the fire nation air balloon early. They didnt use them at the northern Water nation attack. Zhao throwing shots at Iroh as usual. Nice to see they kept that. No breath of fire for Zuko I mean where he has to melt the ice? Zhao knew about the spirits due to the Wan Shi Tong library. In the show he burns it here he stabs it. Oh damn the chief out here getting it I dont think we saw that. Han out here not looking like no punk either. Godzilla lives!!!!!! Iroh bbq'd his ass idk Im ok with it but I did want the spirit to get its own personal revenge. wish Zuko and Zhao had their agni kai so we could see more of Zukos progression as a fighter. Iroh turned that boy crispy you heard. The water spirit killed him and dragged him to the spirit world in the show. I dont think Yue was water bender in the show if she was they didnt show it. It makes sense as she is touched by the Moon spirit the First and greatest water bender of them all. We got the war balloon early aye!!!!

@dimitriarditya

i dont know if its far fetched.. but when the gang start talking about MELON at the end... all i could think is one thing.... MELON LORD ._.

@mocha2717

If there is a season 2 or 3 I'm sure Netflix will make it as soon as possible because most of the cast are teenagers and teenagers grow up fast. It would be funny if Aang turned into a tall teenager😅😅

@RaquellyReacts

Showrunner is really taking this seriously and taking in all the good and bad and really working to improve it for next season. Let’s hope that happens. I say for me it’s 8/10.

@TheOnlyHawkeye666

I'd have to watch animation again but I don't remember him combining with the ocean spirit being so dark. I didn't realize that Anng was sacrificing himself, which made that scenario a whole lot darker. The battle was very well done and showed the horror of the invasion a lot better

@laitsu8852

If they learn from their ”mistakes” and feedback, book 2 and 3 could be great. The actors grow and get better. I really hope the next seasons will be longer cos some thing were rushed. I think that they should make 4 season. Like dividing book 3 into two seasons, because it includes so much important stuff that cannot be skipped or rushed!

@francisco_m7849

One quick comment before I start watching your aftershow commentary all throughout the episode I was giggling like crazy with your both of your quick sarcasm to stop happening in the episode. It was probably one of the best ones yet, so I just wanna let you know that I totally appreciate, how you guys operate and do your car your live action comments during the show love you guys. See you in the after the commentary

@ReelRejects

What would you rate the Season out of 10?!

@Basedbeauty3

I feel(my opinion) when Iroh said "i will unleash what u do to that spirit unto u 10 fold" He meant it through Zuko's act of gettin at him
