View Full Version : Nickelodean's "Avatar: The Last Airbender" Discusion
Holy balls, work is going to go slow tomorrow. That preview basically guaranteed that Katara is going to bloodbend again. Since "take it too far" can't mean murder, it must mean bloodbending and moral deconstruction.
As far as Toph getting bonding time with Zuko...she's never really needed it. In fact, I think that The Chase is the only time she's ever actually encountered Zuko before TWAT(loltwat) and she didn't have a personal reason to hate him. Still, it's possible that their bonding time could be during the first part of Sozin's Comet. It's named The Old Masters (or something similar), right? So maybe it's an Iroh/Zuko/Toph centric episode.

I can't wait for The southern raiders.
I'm think of changing my sig to say you miss the season finale of avatar your will fuck up your life:awesome
Wow Jove,
You're 44 years old. I never figured you'd get excited by something like that.
By the way the Zutarians are going Bonkers for this episode.
This is a make it or break it episode for that 'ship...surely after all that time sparks will fly right?
Let's tune in to find out.
44?! Don't spread such libel. I'm twenty... something.
Zutara is a ship that cannot be disabled. Even if it doesn't happen, it's easy to say that it should have happened. Ship reinforced.
Is Zutara a submarine, then? Just in case? Heh.

Next episode will be awesome beyond words, I enjoy watching Katara fight the most, and she's going Nuts tomorrow.

my guess is he'll fade into the background like Haru, the duke, and that kid in the wheel chair. Face it if you're not an official member of the Gaang, a love interest (Suki), a villain, or one of the villain's frenemies (Mei, Tylee) you're likely to get slim to none screen time as the episodes wind down to the finale.

No, I wasn't thinking that at all. But now that you bring it up....yeah. You're right. Too bad Whats-his-face doesn't sound like Riley.
I really hope we get more of Chit Sang. (Seng?) The guy really interests me. I wanna know why he was there, and why he's the only firebender with gray eyes we've seen.

Exactly, there's something about him, more to him than what we saw today, but maybe he's just another side character.
When these episodes came out in the Blockbuster leak, there was a LOT of talk about Chit Sang being a major part of The Southern Raiders, because he's a firebender that somehow has blue-grey eyes.
It doesn't look like that now, but I still think he might be somewhat important. The eye color can't be an accident.
As far as I'm concerned, Suki's no longer a love interest. She a full member of the Gaang now.
So whats the current episode?

Suki kicked total ass in The Boiling Rock. That's all it takes. Kick ass in the name of the Gaang.
Yeah, I used to be kinda on the fence about Suki, and then TBR got leaked and I think I like her about as much as Toph. :D
So, any guesses as to if TSR'll be leaked tomorrow, or will everyone wait to rip the DVD on the 29th?

My parents have a surround sound system. I have nick2 just in cas I miss the finale but I do not want to miss the first airing. This is the greatest event in nick history and the greatest finale they'll ever have. This final better be a ratings smash. This is after the show that nick once boasted as their harry potter franchise but got shitty scheduling in the later third season. This is a show with such a dedicated teen-adult fanbase that it got its own con and aooerances at comic-con. Never has such a show since ren and stimpy and spongebob has a show gottne populartiy among wide ages. If the finale isn't a smash hit, then nick has failed terribly.

Ah! I'm now recording all the showings of the finale just in case something goes wrong with my DVR. :awesome
And I really want to see this fight with Katara and her mother's murderer. Although I think it's kind of late to just introduce the person this late in the show just to have him defeated by the end. It would have been nice if she knew who killed her mom long before, and now holds a grudge against him. Of course it could be something like she sees him in the fire nation and recognizes him... Not sure how they'll do it.
i doubt she knows who killed her mom,
at least the preview inclines to say that zuko is the one to know who killed her more than anything.

:faint come on please don't. This might be the only series I say this for, but I kinda don't want any ship to take any overwhelming center stage in the finale no matter which ship it is. For once in my life I'm really excited to see an action overload.
Speaking of moms, are we even gonna find out what happened to Zuko's mom? I believe she's still alive.
I was thinking about that a lot yesterday, and I started to think wouldn't it be so hilarious if Zuko really didn't know who killed Katara's mom and just said that so she would be his friend? lol, this is more than likely not true but I think back to how lonely Zuko looked when they all rejected his plea for friendship in TWAT and couldn't help but think "poor Zuzu he is totally not above lying for friendship." :sag

On the subject of leaks, apparently DVD Pacific has already shipped preorders of Book 3, Vol. 4, and they might be at their destinations before the finale.
But at this point, whoever gets it early might as well just take solace that they saw the episodes before everyone, and upload the episodes after they air for the foreign fans.

:laugh sokka's line about the play being "whacky, nonsense, time wasting..." it's like the creators are poking fun at us. Like they're saying "lol, you've been waiting all this time for the finale but we're going to give you a non-plot advancing filler episode instead." Of course at the time they probably never imagined we'd wait 7.5 months for this, but I guess the amount of time we spent in agony kind of dulls the effect that this is just a filler. Were so desperate that even a filler episode is bound to excite us :amuse
EDIT: :arg stupid dark knight, I'm gonna miss the premier airing in this and their are definite lolz to be had from Zukko messing with Aang's Katara time. Nevertheless lol, how Zuko sat next to Katara before Aang could and at Aang for not being able to come up with a good enough reason why he should move. Seriously he had the balls to kiss her but he can't say to Zukko that he likes her, please...:P

Seriously. I'd suggest http://theavatarportal.org/Watch-Episodes.php if you want to watch episodes online. The Portal is a great fansite and has actually been beneficial the fandom, unlike avatar-chapters.
And if I've said it once, I've said it in addition to that one time: FILLERS DO NOT EXIST IN STAND-ALONE MEDIA. Avatar is not based upon a book, a manga, an article, a real story... nothing. Everything you see is the story. Every bit of it.

Don't think of Ember Island Players as a filler because really once you have that in mind you're not going to get as much satisfaction from it. What it is though is a clever way of doing a recap episode while at the same time giving the fandom a nod and a wink. A way of saying thank you for being there through all this.
By the way if you want real filler then check out this new book

It feels so good. Need next episode and the movie. NAO!
I was surprised that bloodbending was revisited on a scene such as that. I was expecting it to be the climax... but stopping the rain was pretty awesome.

What a great way to start the episode. I was looking forward to lots of ninja Zuko and Katara, but I'll accept exploding blimps for the first third of the episode. Azula sure has gone nutters since her friends left her. And what a great plot mechanic for getting rid of the extra weight.
Poor Aang. He's gotta listen to Suki abusing Sokka in the tent next to him while he's finding out how awful girls can be. Poor little kid is about to find out that shoving your tongue down a girl's throat doesn't make her your girlfriend. Too bad Hakoda left, or he'd be able to show Aang the art of the swift smack and demanding of meals. :awesome

On that note, was it the full moon? Cause if Katara can bloodbend outside the full moon, that's badass.

I have a mousepad that was made out of your sig pic. They handed them out at SDCC a few years ago.
Thinking about TSR, I think the the one flaw that I found was there was that they never explictly connected how determined Zuko was to see Katara get resolution about her mother's death to his own feelings about Ursa. Fans knew it was part of his motivation, but I think they should have at least had him mention it.
Great episode! Katara going badass and using blood bending was just awesome. I hope we get more of that. And the start of the episode was awesome!

It wasn't explicitly stated, but I think the moon was full.
Wouldn't that kinda make a plot hole? If they took the time waiting just for a full moon, they would eat up a lot of time for the comet. Then again, they're seeing a play next episode, so I guess it's a take your time thing (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TakeYourTime), like in FFVII. Time keeps slipping on (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TimeKeepsOnSlipping) is probably closer though.Avatar shall live on in our minds abd in the reruns. Knowing Nick, they'll probably abuse the show to no end, like air eps out of order. I wouldn't be surprised if Nick all and up, cancels Avatar before the final ep. I'm confident they won't however.
I wonder if it will be like how Light brokedown at the end of the series in DeathNote? :D
And in this situation, Katara would be Near and Zuko would be Mello? Obviously Sokka is L, an L that couldn't die because he was attached to a supremely magnificent hawk.
I'm pretty sure they showed a shot of a full moon in TSR. Remember, the full moon of The Puppetmaster was about a week before the invasion, and it's been about a few weeks since that happened, so it could align.

Blood bending is cool, but it is hard hard to control such an overpowered ability with plotbending which will ultimately kill the show unless the top tier benders have counters. I don't like the Zutara possibilities much, Mia is enough women for Zuko anyway. I think their relationship is more developed and much deeper(Zuko and Mia) then Zuko and Katara who basically suffering from the classic "fighters passion". Where enemies or allies who fight together eventually fall too quickly in love because of the chemistry they have during the heat of the battle. Realistically these relationships end quickly once the fighting is done, and the adrenaline is no longer pumping. There was several times Zuko's jaw dropped during the Southern Raiders, in which case he is most likely thinking "thats one scary ****". Yes Zuko had an his own motives for helping Katara. No it doesn't mean Zuko is magically in love with katara, more like Zuko is the type of person who wants people to like him. At best Zuko gets a one night stand with Katara.

There was several times Zuko's jaw dropped during the Southern Raiders, in which case he is most likely thinking "thats one scary ****". Yes Zuko had an his own motives for helping Katara. No it doesn't mean Zuko is magically in love with katara, more like Zuko is the type of person who wants people to like him. At best Zuko gets a one night stand with Katara.
Well, seeing as he is a prince, and he'll get his status back after the Fire Lord is defeated, I'm pretty sure Zuko can have concubines considering his royal status :sag Then again, it's on Nick, so, concubines equals no-noAnd in this situation, Katara would be Near and Zuko would be Mello? Obviously Sokka is L, an L that couldn't die because he was attached to a supremely magnificent hawk.
I'm pretty sure they showed a shot of a full moon in TSR. Remember, the full moon of The Puppetmaster was about a week before the invasion, and it's been about a few weeks since that happened, so it could align.
And Mider, don't ruin the Toko ship. :pek (:LOS)Teh hawk is Watari :LOS
I wish Hawkie was back, I wanted Hawkie to be a permanent Gaang member :D:
I hope Zuko get's a dragon mount :LOS Maybe that egg will hatch, and fly to Zuko :D

Katara Near and Zuko Mello? Although I disliked Mello a lot less than Near I like both of these characters too much to have them compared to empty suits like Near and Mello. The L comparison was spot on though :zaru
Blood bending is cool, but it is hard hard to control such an overpowered ability with plotbending which will ultimately kill the show unless the top tier benders have counters. I don't like the Zutara possibilities much, Mia is enough women for Zuko anyway. I think their relationship is more developed and much deeper(Zuko and Mia) then Zuko and Katara who basically suffering from the classic "fighters passion". Where enemies or allies who fight together eventually fall too quickly in love because of the chemistry they have during the heat of the battle. Realistically these relationships end quickly once the fighting is done, and the adrenaline is no longer pumping. There was several times Zuko's jaw dropped during the Southern Raiders, in which case he is most likely thinking "thats one scary ****". Yes Zuko had an his own motives for helping Katara. No it doesn't mean Zuko is magically in love with katara, more like Zuko is the type of person who wants people to like him. At best Zuko gets a one night stand with Katara.
And I'm sure they've realized this much. In my ideal world Katara will tell Aang that they can't be together because he needs to think about the world above all else. So ideally there will be no more ships left except for the extremely already if not already legit ones like SukixSokka.

There's a review for "Sozin's Comet" at Toonzone, and it contains zero spoilers. It's written by Ed Liu. According to him:
"Despite an uneven first half to the third season, this season finale easily cements Avatar's position as one of the finest animated television series ever made."
http://news.toonzone.net/article.php?ID=25010
I read the review, quite good and I think he was fair. Ed knows the series and loves the series so taking that into account and knowing that he doesn't get anything for writing a good review, I'll enjoy the finale just a bit more. I also liked this little part at the end -
Ed Liu wrote:
This tale is Finished. Those dangling plot threads aren't an invitation to more direct follow-ups as much as they're just reminders that life is messy and we don't always get answers to the questions that we have. If there is to be more Avatar in the future, one hopes that it will not pick up where this show left off, but strike off in a bold new direction instead.
Aang's story...is done. It was a good 4 year journey taking place within a 9-month storyline. Everyone who worked on this series should be proud and it wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing to put it at the top of their resume. I would hope nick treats the property with respect knowing that it takes place within it's own world. I don't wanna see Aang fighting alongside Jimmy Neutron in a video game. Avatar may be a Nick Toon but save that crossover garbage their other shows.
A question was posed to Mike and Bryan at the end of the Sozin's Comet novelization about putting together a definitive guide to the Avatar universe. They said that the fansites are doing a well-enough job of that but that they would like to put together an Artbook...once they have time.

So blood bending can be used at any time now, not just during the full moon?
It wasn't explicitly stated, but I think the moon was full.Yes, the moon was full, and yes, Katara used bloodbending at night under the full moon. The episode showed the moon being full a couple of times. Watch blackssk's video to see the moons.
OEGlMneC1ns
As far as Katara's bloodbending and full moons are concerned:
Katara yells at Zuko - Moon nearly full
They hit the communications station - Full moon
Attack on SR and Bloodbending - Nearly full
It takes a whole day for them to reach the SR ship and a full moon only lasts for one night. So I guess Katara's ability to bloodbend can be attributed to her telling Hama that she's a more powerful bender. It looks like she can do it as long as the moon is close to being full; probably 3/4 or so is the limit.
Of course, this is all assuming the moon works the same in that world as the real one. Or maybe is just Moon Girl(Yue?) giving her a boost while she watches the awesome dirtiness that is Sumokka.
EDIT: That shot of Appa crossing the moon is from the night they hit the communications station. The moon isn't shown again after that.

Liu's reviews for Avatar have been excellent. It's clear he's a huge fan of the show, but his criticism of the show is intricate and balanced. If there's something wrong or erroneously or deficient, he's not afraid to point it out. This is evident in his review of "The Awakening."

I don't know why I torture myself but I had to see the Zutarians' reaction to The Southern Raiders.
Oh man I'm pointing out the obvious here but wow...they're insane.
I enjoyed this quote taken from Capslock Zutara
THERE WAS ALSO A PART OF ME THAT FELT MIKEBRYAN WERE TRYING TO MAKE THEM LOOK SO BAD TOGETHER, YOU KNOW?
What the hell is she talking about?
And here's a gem. This person wrote this after knowing that one of her imagined scenes will most likely not take place within the series
I KNOW THAT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN IN THE SERIES, BECAUSE BRYKE ARE SHALLOW-MINDED DICKS WHO LIKE TO TOY WITH SHIPPERS WITHOUT ACTUALLY DELVING INTO THE DRAMATIC POSSIBILITIES OF A LOVE TRIANGLE.
Anyway some have come to their senses and realized that those 2 have no romantic feelings for each other. You don't read Glass Mask for the action scenes so don't come to Avatar expecting romance.
Anyway, Onward we go to the "pointless"* episode, The Ember Island Players.
*Love how people who haven't seen the episode feel the need to pre-review.
I've purposely avoided CAPSLOCK for the last few days. Nice to see things are exactly how I figured.

This was so cool, I had to stop watching. I made it about 45 seconds in... I have want to wait until tomorrow... I want to go into this as cold as I can.
I demand that Katara uses that "turn the rain into icicles" move in the live action trilogy at some point.

I noticed that JM Animation's Ozai character design isn't as pretty as the one for the Moi Animation produced episodes.
Actually Moi animation just has more visually appealing character designs and a huge step up from DR Movie who really should just stick with Shippuden.
Not gay by the way, just an observation.
This is me humbly requesting a PM with a DDL link for tonight's episode as soon as it pops up. Due to circumstances beyond my control, it looks like I may not be seeing this episode in an hour. I will provide super reps and awesome thanks. Torrents also apply, although the first torrent last night wouldn't connect to the 287 seeders and 4000 leechers. :notrust

lmao at Jet's death scene. Wasn't clear in canon either xD Lampshade Hanging I guess
lmfao, avatar state, I guess they had blacklights there too.
I so called it, Zuko went emo at the uncle betrayal scene
Nothing silly with Azula yet, I guess she'd castrate them if they did
Wow, case of Charlie Chaplin there, cosplaying themselves, and they failed XD

I'd stay out of here until it's uploaded. It won't take very long. I'm sure a link will come up quickly. We just need for everyone to know that if you find one, you must PM the DDL link to Taurus Versant immediately.
