Jacksons hot take that he doesn't think is a hot take is that ember island players is the worst ep in the show.....drop opinions in the comments plz lol I think its great😂

Comments

nah the aang and katara scene was a hard watch 😭😭

Zipzzty

I remember this. Every night I was in front of the tv waiting for

Jaymoneyman

Crazy to think about the fact that Kya was killed because of Hama - after she broke free from the fire nation with blood bending they went to the southern water tribe looking for her, and when Kya claimed to be “the last water bender” they thought they were killing Hama. The layers of this show are so good

Anna

also, the ember island players episode is a mix of actual critiques of the show and original blueprints of the show which is why it’s just pure gold! (Toph was going to be an older guy, katara and Zuko were going to end up together, writers are aware of how much people didn’t like the Great Divide).

Tatum McCormick

I’ve never disagreed with Katara’s feelings towards Zuko, but I expected some small shift to more positive since he helped bring her dad back. But what I really really needed was for her to apologize to Sokka. No matter how much stronger she felt the loss of her mother or how in the moment she was with her hurt, what she said to Sokka deserves an apology.

Tatum McCormick

Yeah Ember Island is mid, which is pretty bad for ATLA cause basically every other episode is at least an 8/10

Dr Awde

Would you tell the Fire Lord you were beaten by a little girl? Nope, you're gonna describe Toph as a 7 foot pile of muscle 😂

Gilded Jackal

Man you guys totally don’t get Katara

Antique-Item

Exactly what he said. This is widely known

Antique-Item

It’s a recap episode, for sure, but the best recap episode ever made. Still better than a bunch of Book One episodes.

Michael H

these 2 episodes were so awesome!

Broski McBrosef

Every time someone says their favorite ep I hear this one consistently and I saw a poll somewhere I think idk. That might be not true but that’s what I thought

szeth

What do you mean fan favorite of the whole show? There's no way.

Sasha

Nightmares and Daydreams, The Painted Lady, The Headband are worse than this at least.

Sasha

Jackson might actually have the two hottest takes of studio gek's history.

Sasha

She's also traveling with a firebender, which is also constantly reminding her. Sokka didn't see his mom in her final moments, and he also didn't see the murderer. She's for sure going to be more negatively affected.

Andy Larkin

Worst episode in season 3, is like being the worst player in the NBA, you're still great.

Andy Larkin

Cannon @46:22 was that a Lost reference?

Ronen

I will say this episode was better than I remembered, but I feel like every time I’ve watched it in the past it was boring to get through except for the parts outside the play where characters actually talk like Katara and Aang. But I did forget about the great divide since we skipped it, so obviously not the worst episode 😂

Jackson Carter

Wow… 😰

Jackson Carter

It can definitely be seen as a filler episode and thus if you are in for the main story, this episode can kind of feel unnecessary and annoying So I would say totally valid But I disagree

Yuion

let’s gooooo we getting close

IchiGoat

It's a pretty fair take from Jack. It's not bad for sure but among all the episodes in book 3, it's kind of valid to say it's the 'worst'.

According to my calculations, I think that Katara was reminded that the fire nation had separated her family once already and was triggered when it happened again when Zuko and Azula were fighting, resulting in her and her father being separated. That’s most likely why she was angry at the camp fire. ✌🏽😮‍💨

Alyssa

As recap episodes go it’s great. It’s a solid episode but there are much better episodes surrounding it

Max Grodman

Sokka really does have the best girl😂 Suki stays winning every episode she is in🫡

Jed

too far holy

szeth

isn't the recap ep literally the fan favorite ep of the whole show?

szeth

so excited for the finale!!

nans

Also best recap episode ever. Recap episodes should take notes instead of actual boring rewinds.

GBuckets

I thought the ember island player episode was a fun way to do a recap of the whole show thus far, instead of the traditional way of the characters reminiscing and showing clips of past episodes. It was really meta and self-aware. But I can't wait for the finale! Really hope we get all 4 episodes in 1 video.

Enma

i know people have their frustrations with katara, but i think her strong feelings are relatable and realistic. i imagine that if someone had fractured my family as much as that man did katara’s, i’d probably have VERY strong feelings, and it would most likely result in me making mistakes or saying things i don’t truly mean. it may be one of her flaws at times, but ultimately she always overcomes it, and comes out stronger the other side. just like the element of water itself, katara is someone who learns and adapts to whatever she needs to in order to overcome adversity

Seth Aasland

ember islands players is my favorite episode actually. It's like a break before the main event. terrible take

GBuckets

I like to think play Toph is a buff dude cuz no one wanted to admit a 12 year old girl beat them up

Ritz Tan

...smash

CHIEF

I'm stoked!! I cannot wait!!!

Melizé

such a fun show! jack desena did so well in it

Tiga

This originally aired as part of a weeklong event called Countdown to the Comet (you can look up the promos for it on YouTube), which was a week of brand new Avatar episodes culminating in the premiere of Sozin's Comet. Keep in mind that this was after the show has been on hiatus for about six months. Prior to this, the last new episode, The Day of Black Sun, aired November 30th, 2007. The first episode that aired as part of Countdown to the Comet aired on July 14, 2008. The schedule for Countdown to the Comet looked something like this: Monday — The Western Air Temple Tuesday — The Firebending Masters Wednesday — The Boiling Rock, Parts 1 and 2 Thursday — The Southern Raiders Friday — The Ember Island Players Saturday — Sozin's Comet, Parts 1 through 4

Gestrid

It also shows us exactly what the stakes are instead of simply telling us, "Oh, hey, Ozai's gonna take over the world."

Gestrid

By the way, if you guys are ever looking for a show outside the ATLA universe that's HEAVILY, *HEAVILY* inspired by Avatar, then try The Dragon Prince! It features some of the same staff from Avatar (not the creators of ATLA, but some of the writers), and Jack DeSena (Sokka) voices a character in the show.

Gestrid

Ooh, I think you're gonna love it! It's the only episode in the series to use an orchestra for the music. (All four parts use an orchestra.)

Gestrid

I have never seen such a visceral reaction to aang being hyper cringe that was hilarious, as a 8 year old that scene shook me

Goatchis

When making the show I'm not sure how the release dates were but it would make sense that this is purely made so that people remember the story not being able to binge watch it like we can now

Pressure

In my opinion the finale wouldn't be as good without this theater episode we get to see aang is really struggling and a bit deeper insight on everyone's feelings

Pressure

the best recap episode ever made

kiiturii

Yeah, Jack's just dead wrong with that take. It's a perfect "previously on Avatar" of the entire series right before the finale, and it shows us exactly what the stakes are, too. The worst episode is The Great Divide, which Jack's least favorite episode makes fun of.

I didn’t really like Ember Island when I first watched it because I was watching it when it was airing and I get disappointed getting kinda recap episode after waiting. But I am cool with it now

kaan

Catastrophic take smh

Jiggy

If Jackson thinks that it’s low key a blessing it’s hard to hear him during reactions then 😅

Jiggy

I know it seems harsh that katara dropped that line about sokka not loving their mum in the same way but in a way she was correct- she did have a closer connection to her mum and her death impacted her more because she basically has survivors guilt and has to live with the knowledge that her village was attacked and her mum was killed essentially because of her existance. The most apparent key message that the audience would take is that revenge isn’t the answer but for me it’s that it’s important to confront your emotions and have that healthy release- she did get closure at the end and was able to see through that revenge really wasn’t the answer :))) love from the U.K!!

Ash

If you look at it from what it is as a recap episoden It is one of the best I have seen imo. But if you look at it as the penultimate episode before the finale, I could see why he wouldn't like it. I love it

Goatchis

Idk how Jackson thinks Ember Island players is worse than eps like Avatar Day, The Great Divide, or The Painted Lady. The rare Jackson L.

Hunter Snider

Ember Island players is a classic

Denzel Mwandha

That is a hot take from Jackson, I think it's one of the funniest episodes in this season.

LuvStarburst

This is my first time watching ATLA and it has been so amazing! I can't wait to see how it ends ❤

Melizé

YESSSS!

Studio Pe(a)k back with another one of them thangs.
