FIRST TIME WATCHING: ATLA S1 FINALE!!!

To take care of the wounded. In defense, they can use their surroundings to protect them. If they going to attack they don't really make a chance because there are so many fire nation ships. The only boats the water tribe has aren't meant for war so the water benders are really easy targets during an attack.

Thomas

So you cover the entire show the entire time!? I’m confused

Brooklyn

Right! I never understood why the water tribe just waited until the fire nation had the upper hand. Some people say it is out of courtesy or respect or whatever but that is BS! One they are at war and 2 the fire nation is attacking them, they dont deserve the courtesy of waiting until it is most convenient for them to continue the battle.

Lucile Byrd

I'm one of those who came for Avatar as well. Like a lot of people in my generation this show was a big part of my childhood. Glad to be here! I hope you'll eventually watch Legend of Korra with us as well.

Tim Franklin

I don't know if someone already answered this, my bad if they have. One of the reasons that the water tribe wouldn't have attacked at night is because, military speaking, you're much stronger on the defense than the offense, so it would make sense for them to wait it out and maintain a strong position rather than risk losing people from their already limited numbers trying to attack

Carter Ford

One of my favorite episodes

Jay Wacker

I was wondering if she would catch it was the water bending teacher in the intro too :)

Yani Dodge

Right! I was like, oh just wait! A certain bad ass female is on her way :D

Yani Dodge

I'll second that!

Yani Dodge

the water tribe didnt have the numbers or technology to attack the fire nation so the just played defense for 100 years slowly losing.

William Abbott

lol thats literally me i subbed recently to watch you react to this show

Carlos Estrada

Getting several new female characters who are bad asses in season 2.

Rusty Childers

You could do nothing but watch this show and upload the results - foregoing eating and sleeping - and I would still want more and more to come faster and faster. There are few shows on this planet that get me so excited to witness first-experiences than this one.

IceMaverick

God I cannot wait for more Avatar. When I saw the first episode of this drop on the channel, literally every other series you're watching got sent straight to the backburner. I put a whole third row of burners on this stove just emphasize how back on these burners they're going. Like, I'm in the camp of tossing Marvel out of the window until ATLA is done. I'm so stoked for more of this show.

IceMaverick

Korra!

Josh Baker

I hope you give Legend of Korra a shot after you finish season 3!

Brendan Smith

pffff I'm spoiled... I had to wait like a year for The Normies and Blind Wave finish.

MarkyO

Games in general I'd say.

MarkyO

I'm gonna be the last one to say that "Yue means 'moon'" aren't I.

MarkyO

I didn't even realize till now but Book 2 introduces a ton of bad ass female characters

Toy Soldier

God you arcane fans are so weird lol. If you want her to watch arcane then vote for it on the poll don't tell her to stop a show that has been chosen by the majority on here

Len

DeadNotSleeping

What live action movie?

Joshua

Once you're done with ATLA, please give Arcane a shot!

eightornine

Now that you have finished the first season, you should watch the ATLA live action movie. It isn't good, but to me, it's like a right of passage for ATLA.

XadeChronos

ATLA Fans are Legion: we are everywhere and we want you to have a good time.

literal tears

Blair Hall

ah yes the boulder

Ben Gilshenan

the Tales of Ba Sing Se episode is gonna be a doozy.. all im gonna say lol

Jackson

I'm watching Avatar for the first time along side your videos. I'm betting by the end of the Show uncle Iroh will be killed, Zuko will be crushed by his death and because of it will work with Aang and the heroes against his father, and will probably help train the Avatar in Fire bending.

Thomas Richter

Can’t wait for book 2 chapter 6!

VK

Watching the princess return the life force she got from the Moon Spirit always gets me too :(( There's something else in the series that also hit me just as hard. I'm sure Nat will know it when she sees it. Looking forward to season 2... i mean Book 2!!

David Pan

Just to be clear, since a lot of people don't really catch until a second watch, the moon spirit called to Aang and using his spiritual connection and power, merged with Aang into the giant Ocean Koi Monster spirit, with Aang as it's physical conduit, to get revenge for the death of it's partner spirit, the moon. Cool note is that after the Moon Spirit is resurrected by Yue, the Ocean Spirit sees the moon return and retreats returning Aang, but taking one last prisoner to the spirit world, Admiral Zhao.

Liam McCauley

I don't know if you've ever seen The Legend of Korra, but you find out that Zhao didn't necessarily die, but instead was taken to a prison in the spirit world. For all intents and purposes though, he is dead lol

Blair Hall

You know people are hearing Nat talk about looking forward to more interesting animation direction and lead female characters and thinking, I know a show just like that.

Rich House

Hmm. Don't fully agree with this. They're quite helpfull sometimes when you watch it for the first time. But they definitely screw up suprise factors. Then again seen a lot of reactors being confused how stuff ties together (they eventually get it tho). Think the easiest thing for nat is to sync it up at the intro or cover her ears lol

Len

Yeah they seemed to spend more money on the bigger episodes. You can tell the animation is a bit sharper in this one. It's similar to the animation upgrade that they did in season 3, especially the second half. The colors really pop and I always enjoy when I get to that part of the show.

Caomhan84

Hi Nat, and congrats you passed the first level! haha Thank you for this great reaction 😄Laughters and tears, we don't need more 😆For your doubt, Zhao died and refused to reach Zuko's hand, and yeah Iroh is incredible great! There's never enough Uncle moment hahaha and concerning Apa and Momo I'm the same as you, I always get mad when animals in films/series are injured or killed hahaha, animals are cute! And would be funny to see a reaction from you with a film about spiders or other insectoid creatures 😆 (just kidding hahaha) I just can't wait to see your next step in the show, season 2 is so coooool! I hope you're fine, take care, be safe and stay golden! 💛

Calo Grsf

For season two and three, they start doing “previously on avatar” at the beginning of each episode… I recommend skipping them because they may spoil some aspects of an episode. It was more for kids who were watching this when it first came out since episodes were released one at a time usually.

Julie Lee

nat is gonna love azula and her gang XD

ISeeTrees ofGreen

The best thing about this show is that it only keeps getting better and better. Season 1 is pretty good, but season 2 and 3 still blows it out of the park. Can't wait!

Tomas

I noticed that as well - Usually she has been saying every name correctly but there was this that just took my mind straight to the Live-action pronounciations xD

Danishprince

Yikes. Strike two: It's EYE-roh. EYE-roh. Nothing else.

Kelsey Roberts

Dave Filoni directed one episode in the Book of Boba Fett as well and oh man did he deliver some epic scenes :)

Krystal

YES! we need more than 4 episodes a week!

Lawson

Regarding the ages -- Aang is 12, Katara 14, Sokka 15, Zuko 16. Aang does mature over time, but you have to wait awhile for it. Don't let it annoy you too much, though. Remember, he was stuck in an iceberg while the rest of the world has lived under war conditions for a century. ATLA is one of those things that actually does answer every question you have by the end, and gives you (almost) everything you want as a viewer. You just have to wait. And the good thing is, the wait is worth it because the show is so consistently good.

Caomhan84

BEGGING you to do more than 4 episodes a week, would be so cool if you squeezed in an extra avatar day each week or did 3-4 episodes each time instead of 2. I CANT GET ENOUGH OF THESE EPISODES it makes me so happy to experience this show again with you Natalie!!

Lawson

went to bed last night beyond incredibly excited to wake up and watch this reaction, can’t wait for you to start season 2!! Azula (Zuko’s sister) is a game changer for this show. AHHHH

Lawson

Somehow Aang merging with the ocean spirit always cracks me up since he turns into this giant funky fish man and starts killing everyone. The animation and use of colors in this episode is SO GOOD. It's such a tease for what's about to come. Excited for season 2! 💛

Len

Actually we see Zukos sister every intro. She is the one presenting fire.

Ulrich Unterbrunner

Also, a small suggestion for starting season 2 with the episode count and way they fall, perhaps doing 3 episodes each time instead of just 2? You'll power through a bit faster, and since the episodes are so short, it'd be about like watching 1 episode of GoT timewise

SmokeAndACoffee

I already tear up a lil when I watch these on my own (and maybe smoke a lil some'in some'in to get more into it xD) but stone sober watching along with Nat, when she starts tearing up it's like I'm sympathy balling with uncontrollable tears streaming down my face; lol xD. Great react and I am SO EFFIN EXCITED for ya to start season 2, Nat! So many great new characters, stories, and development!

SmokeAndACoffee

Now that you have finished Season 1 I can share this video with you - I doublechecked and there are no spoilers for Seasons 2 and 3. As a martial artist for a little over 15 years, one of my favorite aspects of this show was it's use of martial arts and how different styles influence different bending. Even the different personalities in the show use the styles uniquely, adding more to the storytelling and character development. Hope it furthers your enjoyment of this great series. https://youtu.be/UZ4NIJrzfds Water Bending - Tai Chi, Earth Bending - Hun Ga, Fire Bending - Northern Shaolin, Air Bending - Ba Gua Zhang.

Alvin Santos

You and centipedes Nat. Will you ever get along? 😊 2 really great episodes today. A lot of really good scenes and character moments leading to an emotional pay off. You reaching for the tissues Nat always breaks me. I noticed the finale was another episode directed by Dave Filoni, one of the show runners of The Mandalorian, and he wrote and directed some of the episodes of that show too. He always seems to be very visual with his storytelling, and the black and white imagery depicting the world being out of balance was very striking. Loved the score too. Thanks for another amazing ATLA video today Nat, and I look forward to you starting on the next season 💛

Darryl Low

another great reaction! thanks Nattie! and yea it will be great to see another girl character come into the picture :P 😍

Krystal

Aang merging with the Ocean Spirit is one of my favourite moments of the season!

Danishprince

Woooo season 1 down! a note to take into account: in s2 and s3 the 2-parters (and 4-part finale) are combined on Netflix into 1 episode, so watch out for that

Kraps

It is both fun and frustrating hearing "I hope they don't ___ later in the series" or "I hope they ____" because I can't talk about it in the comments, but ALWAYS want to.

Andrew Howard

OP=Overpowered...term mostly used on fighting games

Guillermo Antonio Ricci Alvarez

Baddie is also used very commonly to mean "bad guy." As in the Mitchell & Webb sketch about the two Nazis where one of them suddenly goes: "Hans... are we the baddies?"

Cory Stanish

Lmao ok I've noticed it a few times and just let em slide bc I know what you actually mean but I think you don't quite know what "baddie" means. I think you meant 'zuko is a bad ass' "baddie" is usually describing especially attractive independent women. so you might confuse some people calling a 15 year old a baddie lol

john collins

Heck yea! Been looking forward to this one. Show only gets better from here!

Kasey Tinnerello

ATLA DAY!! Can't believe we're already at the season finale, the journey has been fun so far and can't wait to see you dive into season 2! <3
