Comments
When you talk about Katara going against the flow--I think she actually has a good handle on her degree of intervention. When she, Sokka, and Aang form the plan to escape the fire nation rig, she says, "I wish I could help them help themselves." She believes that people need a push sometimes. I don't recall where her call-to-action ever truly leads to an unhealthy burden. She has a strong sense of morals and compassion, and her strong will and vocalness tend to make situations sticky. But, the actions are necessary to right the obvious suffering she witnesses. I admire her courage to unfailing help others help themselves, even when it's inconvenient and a bit risky.

2022-01-27 00:36:34 +0000 UTCThis is the first time I noticed the line “typical air bender tactics, avoid and evade…” that should have tipped off aang right away that something was off seeing as no one has seen or fought an airbender in a hundred years. It is weird that some guy he has supposedly never met knows what the tactics of an airbender would be.

2021-01-17 01:04:24 +0000 UTCOn Katara's personality, it seems like people typically don't like those that try to shake up the status quo, even if the status quo isn't that great of a situation. People usually side with the comfort of stability over the prospect of change because of their fear of the unknown. Things may be bad but at least they know how bad it is, while change has the potential to bring something worse. So it makes sense someone like Katara who takes bold actions to put change in motion would be met by hostility, even by those she's trying to help.

2020-12-07 04:45:15 +0000 UTCThe scene where Aang uses his air bending at dinner is super similar as to when his son Bumi first uses air bending in Korra.

2020-12-06 09:41:24 +0000 UTCThis is just a note for when episode 10 rolls along: Katara waterbended water from the well into the pot right before she found out that Haru was taken away to the prison. EDIT: Yoo why you gotta hit water tribe food like that xD DOUBLE EDIT: Okay, you followed it up with a self burn; the balance is maintained. All in all, great reaction, I love the introspection in this rewatch series. It's valuable and informs my own thinking.

2020-12-02 10:35:39 +0000 UTCyour personality is so much like Toph

2020-12-01 19:17:00 +0000 UTCMaybe the Fire Nation solders have interrogated him how he got out from that collapsed mine and tortured him until he gave up...

2020-11-30 21:42:40 +0000 UTCAnother funny detail is when Aang is trying to find out Bumi's name, Sokka suggests "Rocky", because he's an Earthbender. He wasn't far off- Bumi actually means "Earth" in Indonesian.

2020-11-30 03:05:43 +0000 UTCAlso there's this theory that I really like, that Bumi uses the same longevity technique as Kyoshi, but not in the same power level as her. And I like to think Bumi learned seismic sense from Toph after the war.

2020-11-29 06:55:07 +0000 UTCI have a theory that the old guy is a fire nation spy they definitely have spys because it gets brought up in the episode with jet the old guy could been watching the mines to make sure nobody was bending

2020-11-29 05:14:07 +0000 UTCHaha yeah she's a sweet cat. She has taken to sitting on my lap when I record, which is sometimes nice sometimes not. Not shown in the video is the part where she knocked over the microphone and ripped out the headphones when she jumped down.

2020-11-29 04:13:58 +0000 UTCThat is a very nice attribution to his character :) That is definitely more understandable.

2020-11-29 03:52:53 +0000 UTCI wonder how much they had figured out romantically from the beginning. I know they have dropped certain elements that appeared early in the show, like Momo being a reincarnation, so I wonder if Haru wasn't supposed to be more. It is a nice start to their relationship - They understand each other's histories and they go through a life-altering event together.

2020-11-29 03:52:23 +0000 UTCI think for a lot of people it comes down to metal bending. Too bad the comic didn't give us any clear answers lol
Alex G
2020-11-29 03:50:48 +0000 UTCI don't think the creators knew from the start how advanced bending would get. I doubt theres an in show answer for something like that

2020-11-29 03:40:19 +0000 UTCfighting with Aang was probably his first real fight in a good long while. Also he was obviously going easy on Aang, so it's likely it could have been an act.

2020-11-29 03:38:02 +0000 UTCsomething about that old guy who turned in Haru, I like to think that he couldn't pay a tax or something like that, so as payment he did the only thing he could think of that would keep the soldiers from destroying his home or what not.
R'Mani Leavell
2020-11-29 03:35:14 +0000 UTCHehe yes you're right about the hints of romance, In 3x10 Katara blushes when she sees Haru and in 3x18 Katara says she has a surprise for everyone and Toph responds with "I knew it, you did have a secret thig with Haru" When I first watched the show I was kind of hoping they would end up together ( one of the more obscure katara ships in the fandom ik).

2020-11-29 03:11:13 +0000 UTCYOOOO I forgot it was ATLA rewatch tonight and not TDP. I am pleasantly surprised but its too late for an hour long vid for me. I shall come back tomorrow.

2020-11-29 03:07:36 +0000 UTCThe name's Bonzu, Pippenpaddleopsicopolis. THE THIRD. I also think people are too fast to attribute "best earthbender" to Toph. Sure, she's good, and she invents metalbending, but let's not forget that she's 12 years old, and Bumi has been honing his skill as an earthbender for 100-some-odd years. He's also clearly a master of neutral jing (the one toph uses) as well. I think in terms of pure earthbending prowess I'd still give it to Bumi. This might change when Toph hits her prime but as of this show I think Bumi takes it.

2020-11-29 03:06:37 +0000 UTCI love Katara and the humor is great. The lemur earth bending is the best joke of book 1 haha

2020-11-29 03:02:04 +0000 UTCI feel like these first 10 episodes are separate of the rest of the season. I don’t count 11(great divide). Out of these episodes imprisioned is my fav of those 10

2020-11-29 02:58:09 +0000 UTCMy question if Bumi struggled to move that platform HOW THE HELL did he simply throw a bunch of houses in when he liberated the city during the black sun?!?!?
hays collins
2020-11-29 02:50:10 +0000 UTCI think the funniest part to me is Katara's, "Okay, we are gonna keep trying but that is a great backup."

2020-11-29 02:48:46 +0000 UTCIVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS

2020-11-29 02:34:32 +0000 UTCNow THIS is what I needed tonight. What a nice notification to receive! Damn - I got here so early I even beat 1080p resolution!
