Glad you made that post on YouTube about getting patreon names in, I didn’t realize you were this far ahead

BEST EPISODE IN THE ENTIRE SHOW!!!!!!

classiccheetoh17

rip my favorite waterbending feat in the show didn't get fully shown :(

Warrior of Virtue

My best guess on the state of the Southern Water Tribe is that, given how ice seems to be their primary building material, the waterbenders were probably in charge of maintaining everything. Now that they're all gone, everything has to be done by hand which is far less effective.

I was thinking this too. It would be cool to see him do one on how well they were written and produced and then another list on just his personal favorites. I'm sure there will be a lot of overlap between the two but it would be very interesting to see and compare.

whats the moon obsession

TyDale

Also... I've always been very interested in learning why they used an "air impact wrench" sound effect for Sokka when he bit through the rose during the tent scene with Zuko. Its always sounded so out of place for Avatar.

I would really like to make these a DVD series so I can save them forever. The cover art would feature similar work to the box art of the current Avatar DVD sets, just with a bit "more..."

A little overanalyzing overanalyzing avatar here. You make a statement "not to crawl in my own skin or anything" whilst literally in the last 2 episodes used part of the linkin Park song crawling. Had to see if anyone made this analysis but I absolutely loved it as soon as you said it hahaha. Keep up the good work and I hope you had a good holiday, from a new patreon supporter

Skylar Lee Mills

Welcome back!! I loved the way you talked about how zuko was thinking “wait, you know jet?” Amazing

Evan Mitchell

You better do an avatar episode tier list at the end of this!

Incite Doubt

the moon is dark on the right side. in the northern hemisphere this means a full moon just happened. in the southern hemisphere that means a full moon is about to happen. a full moon just happened and also is about to happen, checks out.

when I first saw this episode I had no idea about the Sokka joke but I'm glad they did that it was silly and VERY ADULT XD

The first video with me as a shout out

love the little dancing guy in the background

Charles Barnett

Still working boss.

Marcus Davis

Great stuff, glad to see a video, but wishing you'd taken some proper time to rest for the holidays.

Evan Brandt

Zukos face when she whips out blood bending is like “I’ve been sleeping next to a monster who hates me… that was close” probably saw a bit of a Azula there too

Uchii

Love the moment when she forgives Zuko. He meant well and let her choose her own destiny like he was never given. Good way to solidify their friendship.

AntiMatterDynamite

i missed this more than i care to admit

Isaac Smith

okay so this freaks me out. did no one else use "whale tail" as a slang term for when a thong rides up above its wearer's jeans? this was an extremely commonly used term when i was a kid, but my fiance has never heard it. is this a thing and is it a deliberate joke???

Mason

The quick shot to zuko after katara starts bloodbending the captain was great. He’d obviously never seen or considered that skill, so he’s shocked, but also there’s a hint of “she immediately threatened my life just a few days ago, this proves she could not only do it, but in the most horrific way possible”

Literal NASA Rocket Scientist

After trying to like and comment the first few times you tried to post the video, I will reiterate my original comment again: “Today is now the best day of the year by far”

Tipa Crystal

Also when Sokka is making the lai, a flower falls off symbolizing he has been deflowered

Matthew Masse

This is my favorite all time episode of avatar for a reason. Mature, dark, and very serious for avatar, and adds a whole new layer to katara

TJ

I hope you got enough of a vacation! Great episode as always, definitely among the very top episodes for me, too!

"THis looks like a town clint eastwood would ride into. Im dieing.

Chris Johnson

Still get cold chills watching the rain stop. This one is so good!

ultrasound700

Among the best episodes in the whole show, and possibly my favorite. Was great to finally see this one get analyzed.

One Thousand Hornets

This link fortunately works.

Hyperion 99

Seems to work fine, didn't even need to use the link

Lynneiah

It does! Thank you.

Shawn McAteer

Link worked, also got like 5 notifications for those post but to be fair Patreon also wouldn't load the new post the first few times either.

Colin

I got 5 emails for this one post

complete cannon

Also someone let me know if this link works

Joshua Beard

Anyone else having problems with the link not working?

https://vimeo.com/661758900/a76cc8c658 I don't know if it's just me but the patreon player is acting really weird for this video. So here's the direct link to the vimeo page that should also work for everyone. Also, sorry about the email spam, was trying to get this to play properly on Patreon.
