Hey guys!
So I'm a bit bummed that I messed up my first recording and so this one is technically not a first time watching. I apologize for my less than happy attitude in the intro to this video. Not all days are great days. If you want to skip my explanation/venting, just jump ahead to 6:02
As always, thanks for your support here on Patreon. Have a good one and β¨stay golden!β¨

I think there is also a touch of Randy "Macho Man" Savage going on too, but I could be mistaken.

The interesting thing about Avatar Day is that Chin the Great is clearly a reference to Shihuangdi the King of Qin (pronounced chin) who basically unified China as it's first Emperor, but killed a lot of people to do it, and was definitely tyrannical. The famous terracotta warriors are part of his gigantic tomb complex.
The idea that Kyoshi stopped him is pretty interesting for the implications of the Earth Kingdom history, and it also subtly sets up the idea that the Fire Nation are not uniquely evil in their conquest.
Sokka is rating the torch as a prop, because he's looking to replace his boomerang as part of his identity!

Nat, this may get lost in all the comments, but THERE IS A WAY TO FIX THIS!
You can "subtract" one audio track from another. You can take the clean audio from the show, and subtract if from your combined track to create a clean version of JUST your reaction track.
Watch this short vid for an explanation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNvJKBg3yds
If you need help with this, or don't have access to Audition, I'd be glad to help. You could fix the previous episodes too, if you wanted to invest the time.

I think Nat means that her reaction dialogue and the show's dialogue where mixed at the same volume and on the same audio track, and they couldn't be separated.
Darryl Low
2022-03-12 13:11:34 +0000 UTC
I'm confused. Are you saying you didn't realize you didn't have your headphones in during the first recording? Was that it? Or are your headphones for something else?

I know you said you weren't into the wrestling stuff, but you should totally watch GLOW on Netflix. It's a fictionalized version of the story of a real women's wrestling program that aired for a while in the 1980s, with lots of amazing performances.

Idk if anyone has said this yet but there is a fan theory that Aang put on the Kioshi's makup by himself because he remembered how.

2022-02-25 07:26:42 +0000 UTC
Yeah the Boulder was modeled after the Rock, and was suppose to be played by Rock but was instead voiced by Mick Foley aka Mankind, Cactus Jack and Dude Love, another wrestler from the same era.
Also, yes the Rock talked about himself in the third person and yes that Fire nation guy is based on USSR themed wrestlers from the 80s I think. Always impressed by your guesses lol.

2022-02-24 20:41:31 +0000 UTC
Yep, Kyoshi is far and away the most powerful avatar that ever lived. In the novels that tell her story, the things she is able to do are absolutely wild, and incredibly violent when she wants to.

It figures that your tech issues would happen with an episode that you wouldn't want to re-watch XD. No worries, and I hope you're taking care of yourself too.
It's probably already been said, and I haven't confirmed it, but I've heard that the Boulder was supposed to be voiced by the Rock. Whether that's true, and it fell through, or if it's one of those "The writers were thinking of the Rock when they wrote this character", it's a really interesting Fan story at the very least.

Natalie, I'm sending you a big e-hug right now. *squeeeeeeeeeze* And my hugs are the best, because I'm a big six foot four three hundred pound bear of a man, and when I hug someone they really feel comforted and safe.

Yeah Avatar day is a pretty bad one to rewatch, it would definitely be on my list of episodes to skip.

Im so sorry youre having a bad time with this! But thats awesome to hear about all of your exciting things coming up! Im definitely here for this reaction and your Youtube reaction when you release it, I will enjoy both!!
John
2022-02-24 01:51:47 +0000 UTC
Seriously, Nat - if you're stressing, prioritize and the people out here can wait. Life happens. Get back to yourself and start happening to life instead :-)

She said she didn't wanna risk anything regarding copyright as the uploads here on Patreon are technically just unlisted videos on a private YT channel so the automated solutions and detection systems Google uses could still pick it up and issue a strike :/
A shame really because I would love to see the original as well :D

Not to wish you have a bad time, but it was almost refreshing to know not everyday is perfect because I was having a similar day, thank you for rewatching those two episodes, and trust me Avatar Day is a tough one for that.
Thank you for being genuine and honest when things arenβt working out the intended way.

While I agree that watching Avatar Day twice in a row is quite unfortunate, I'm actually happy I got to see you react to The Blind Bandit for a second time! I've seen the show sooo many times, but it never gets old. And I'm always finding new things to appreciate! I enjoy seeing the parts that stuck with you, and parts that frustrated you like Zuko's teenage angst and irrational behavior towards Uncle. If your first reaction makes it to the YouTube cut that'd be awesome, but if not it's still a pleasure to see the show through your perspective!!

They knew Toph was lying at the end. Also i love watching every woman reactor i have seen get triggered by toph's father.

William Abbott
2022-02-22 23:25:11 +0000 UTC
She shouldve just postponed it and rewatched when she was in a better mood. Go take a walk or go work out, the whole energy was a bummer. Which is weird to say on an Avatar video. Hopefully her day is going well for episode 7.
William Abbott
2022-02-22 23:20:59 +0000 UTC
Don't beat yourself up too much Nat, everyone makes mistakes, we won't be upset if something comes up and makes it impossible to be ahead. Take a week off if you need to! We'll be here when you get back!

2022-02-22 23:11:00 +0000 UTC
to answer your question about the rock, yes he talked in the 3rd person. those were good times lol

2022-02-22 23:07:08 +0000 UTC
Would have been a little bit of work, but probably could have done an edit of muting the audio in-between you speaking. That way when any of the show audio was audible it would have been you talking over it.
Steve J
2022-02-22 22:26:59 +0000 UTC
I think an edited early access of the first reaction (even a little late posting for the time to edit) is better than an angry full second reaction. Since you didn't have the time to watch it it probably would have been better for you and since you have to edit it later doing it when you had time this week. Just a suggestion and so you know what the audience prefers. Full reaction is less important than a first reaction.
Libby DVR
2022-02-22 22:11:40 +0000 UTC
Damn. Just audio but you still won't upload? Patreon is a lot safer.....lol still entertaining though, time for the baddest chick around B) FYI, the animation/reason a lot of characters look like they're dancing and actually fighting is because they referenced actual martial arts. Most characters/bending have specific martial arts they follow, Toph's specific style is modeled after Southern Praying Mantis style
SupremeCai
2022-02-22 20:36:11 +0000 UTC
Movies I'd like you to consider reacting to are The Hunt for Wilderpeople and Spud!

The technical difficulties are certainly unfortunate. I gotta say though, you roasting the mediocre episodes after watching them is very entertaining

As someone whoβs learning to deal with stress as well, I hope everything is great and that you donβt over work yourself either. We love you Nat πͺπ½
luis corpeno
2022-02-22 20:08:36 +0000 UTC
This is just me personally if I was a reactor and my person life was busy as well, I would post just three times a week, two movies and a series two episodes a week for that series, I hope it all goes back to being less stressful soon enough π
dieselbeast
2022-02-22 19:59:39 +0000 UTC
I think the last thing any of us would want is to see you burn yourself out Nat. If you need to take some time off and a break thats completely ok, I know for me personally im not gonna change my patreon just because the schedule gets changed or you need time off. Were all here because your one of the best reactors out there, take care of your self. Im not going anywhere and im sure alot of others arent either.
Colton Matthews
2022-02-22 19:48:02 +0000 UTC
Really hope she sees this π€π»
Jenny Tolls
2022-02-22 19:40:50 +0000 UTC
Hey Nat...TAKE. A. BREAK. Seriously, if you need to slow down, then slow down.
I'm speaking for myself here, I know, but I don't want you to feel obligated to pump out video after video on such a rigorous schedule. If you need to dial it back to just two movies a week. Do it. One movie a week? Go for it. One movie one week and a TV show the next week? Sounds great! Whatever you need to do and whatever you need to prioritize then do it. I'll keep on being here cause you put out great content, and rank at the top of any other movie/show reactors I watch.
Just don't burn yourself out to the point where you hate doing reactions. Don't let something that I assume you love to do, become something you hate.
And yeah, so far 2022 has been some crazy shit, but don't beat yourself up for a mistake. Shit happens, we move on and adjust.
You got this.
Tony Sanson
2022-02-22 19:36:00 +0000 UTC
Been loving these reactions, and, if you're interested there is a way to fix your original reaction, isolating your reaction audio from the show audio. You import the audio that has both the show and your voice, then add a second audio track of the show's audio by itself, synced up with the first track. Then you invert the phase of the second track. (the one that's just the show). This will cancel out the show's audio on your original recording, leaving only your voice. This can be done even with basic audio software like Audacity. It's a handy trick to know, so I figured I'd share.
Sam Robinson
2022-02-22 19:34:01 +0000 UTC

The technical issues are a bummer. Toph is the best character in the series. Can't wait for the YouTube upload. I kinda got into wrestling after watching the series GLOW on Netflix.
Yasin
2022-02-22 19:11:47 +0000 UTC
Can the original reaction be uploaded to a different site just for this time? Like dailymotion or something?
Spitz
2022-02-22 19:02:04 +0000 UTC
I personally dont really watch the movie reactions so if she focused on avatar exclusively that'd be great but I know that's asking a lot. Bummer I was looking forward to this one hopefully there was something she didnt see on the second viewing.
William Abbott
2022-02-22 18:58:24 +0000 UTC
Just wondering, what makes you think that she's not into it?
Eve
2022-02-22 18:56:20 +0000 UTC
No worries dude. I still totally enjoyed your second reaction to these episodes. lol, these ones were definitely more grounded but it's all good. :)
Logan Kerlee
2022-02-22 18:37:32 +0000 UTC
ππ Hey that's ok! It happens. Now there's a solid reason for me to watch the Youtube reaction :)
And this is coming from someone who really loves these two episodes. (even Avatar day coz Kyoshi :P)
Anyways Toph just entered the chat. Not gonna lie that "twinkle toes" line makes my heart smile :)
On a sadder note, I was pretty sure we will continue with Korra when you are done with ATLA but I'm not that sure anymore :) it's all good though.
Just take a break in March and come back in April is my unsolicited advice. ππ
Krystal
2022-02-22 18:23:43 +0000 UTC
Hi Nat and thank you for your new reaction! Don't worry about the tech issue, it can happen, we all have bad moments, frustrating but life is life and yeah 2022 is crazy hahaha
I agree ep 5 is among the weakest episodes, but finally happy you met Toph, she's so cool!
And we're closer to the best part of the show, I can't wait for it! π
I hope you're fine, take care, be safe, I (already) wish you to have nice trips (early or late?) and stay golden as you are! π
Calo Grsf
2022-02-22 18:15:48 +0000 UTC
It's okay, we get that tech issues happen sometimes. I definitely understand the frustration, but there's nothing you can do and it's not worth getting too harsh on yourself over. Though I must admit it is quite unfortunate we won't get to witness the genuine first reaction to Toph - who, though I adore Uncle Iroh with all my heart, just might be my favorite character in the entire series.

Hey, not commenting on the technical problems or anything, but if you're still not into this so far into the show, you might wnat to reconsider wathcing it altogether. True, this is not considered to be one of the best episodes, but there is childish humour throughout the show, even until the end and even in more serious episodes, so this might not be your cup of tea; most people I know appreciate the series not despite its childishness, but also because of it. I personally doesn't see any problem with it, and I learned to enjoy it after considering what it is supposed to be in the first place. That said, I don't think it is healthy at all to force yourself to do a reaction that you don't want to do, of something that you may not like, if that's the case.
William Matos
2022-02-22 17:56:32 +0000 UTC
I am super bummed that you had this experience. The Blind Bandit is one of the episodes I look forward to upon rewatch. That being said, I did enjoy the smirks that the episodes did drag out of you as it shows the quality of the comedy and heart. I am glad you are enjoying it and look forward to the next installment.
Elvenwitch
2022-02-22 17:55:09 +0000 UTC
Damn, I hope you're not too mad at yourself for that, stuff like this happens all the time. I completely understand, when your life is going crazy and then a seemingly small thing like this happens, it's one of the most annoying things. Honestly, I feel like a solution for if something like this should happen again, maybe just do a review of the episode or something like that, basically what you do at the end of episodes, just a few minutes longer or so. Idk maybe this is stupid but I don't want you to feel pressured to basically redo your reaction especially if you're not in an upbeat mood at all anymore, which is completely understandable, and especially if you didn't really enjoy the episode that much.
Jenny bete
2022-02-22 17:52:07 +0000 UTC
Toph is by far my favorite character. the team behind avatar put a lot of work into the movement of the fighting each element is a different style of martial arts, but for Toph they get her, her own unique fighting style called the "southern praying mantis" style. That's also why she has 2 fuzz balls on either side of her headband to represent the big eyes of a mantis. Also you are right Nat, the boulder was heavily inspired by The Rock.

There's no value in overworking. If the current workload is unsustainable, you'll either have to bring on another editor or change the release schedule. For today's problem, equipment testing for five minutes to make sure everything's right helps.
Sean
2022-02-22 17:49:15 +0000 UTC
I haven't even watched the reaction yet just the prologue, but Nat, you need to be kind to yourself. The worst thing that could happen to you and to your fans/Patreon supporters is you getting burned out. I'm sure that you want to continue to build your audience and this community, but yeah, maybe it's time to slow down a bit.
Yes, I always want more content, but more than that, I would like you to stick around with truly genuine reactions. That's what drew me here. So don't force it. Take breaks when you need to take breaks. Maybe you'll drop some subscribers, in the short term, but I think the vast majority of us would prefer that you find a pace that's sustainable for you and that maintains the quality that brought us all here in the first place.

2022-02-22 17:47:55 +0000 UTC
These things happen, I understand your frustration tho. Iβd be the same way if this happened to me, but please donβt be too hard on yourself! Itβs ok to not be ok. I just hope that your taking good care of yourself. For the love of God please donβt sacrifice your mental health for our sake. Put you first always!!
Iβm ok with not seeing a first time reaction to βAvatar Dayβ, but I do hope we get to see your first time reaction to Toph on YouTube!!π

Don't worry about this, stuff happens and sometimes a lot just happens at once. It's completely okay to take a break if you need to. We've all been there. You're such a fun person to watch and you're worth so much more as a person than your work, don't loose your shine by overworking yourself <3

I have been wondering how you do so many reactions over time! I 100% get why you are bummED, but you aren't a bummER! I never want my Patreon contribution to feel like an obligation or some kind of weight you have to carry! You do this better than anyone else, and i think no one here expects perfection. You got this, but i suspect you have self-expectations that are unsustainable. What i suppose i am saying is - be kind to our dear friend Natalie! She's the greatest, even when understandable errors happen. You didn't feel Golden on this occasion. We understand! It was still great to hang with you. I request that you relax and know that we got your proverbial back! πβ€οΈπ

it's okay nat, these things happen <3 don't beat yourself up, you post very frequently, it makes sense that it can be too much for you, and it makes sense that something like this destroys your mood, i hope you can relax on your trips and not worry too much about work :)
LetΓcia
2022-02-22 17:19:58 +0000 UTC
Nat, do not stress yourself out. I think you know, based on comments that you've seen here on your Patreon, that everyone supports you 100% and if you feel the need to pull back on your content output, it's all good. Make sure you enjoy what's important to you. Sounds like you've got a lot of awesome stuff going on next month to look forward to.
It's always a good day when there's a Nattie reaction, retrospective or otherwise. Thanks for today's video π
