[Early Access] Avatar 3x17 - Ember Island Players - Reaction

Please watch Korra afterwards!

Feyd-akin Skywalker

Korra is an awesome show that is a good continuation of Avatar, and it isnt a different genre at all. All of the differences make perfect sense, and all of the flaws are because of Nick screwing with the creators

Feyd-akin Skywalker

Like Avatar never had deus ex machinas. Come on now :/ a giant Liont Turtle would like to speak with you.

Alec Campo

yeah, at least the writers of this were TRYING to make it a crappy version of the show, unlike the movie where (im assuming) they werent intending the movie to be an abomination but it was

Roy Lohman

This play is 10000000000 times better than that movie

Oscar Villalobos

I never realized how badly I want to see an ACTUAL Avatar play like this.

007

Yes it has very little of what made ATLA amazing, the characters in Korra are awful, there is little adventure, and they break few of the bending rules.

PS

If you don't like a part, how about you.... don't watch it? Just a wild thought, and the normies would appreciate no spoilers.

3rd Eye Phreak

If only skipping deus ex machina season 2 of Korra was possible, then i'd like to see yall watch the series

Roy Lohman

Th boy said your scar is on the wrong side because the person that was zuko in the play had his scar on the wrong side.

layla jean

Will all 4 episodes of the finale come out together? if so, will it be a single video or separated?

Burooj Ahanger

If you watch Korra you will know what happened to Zhao

Oscar Villalobos

That being said, its very different. I'd say wait at least a month before starting Legend of Korra, just because of how different it is. It's REALLY good, too. Not as good as ATLA, but still good!

Hey brotha!! Im happy this episode made ya laugh. Its been an adventure with you all and I am sad its ending. But we do plan to go with Korra to continue on this amazing journey with you all. As far as discussion We plan on it. - Nahid

The Normies

Oh come on it's not garbage. Not as good and slightly disappointing in some aspects, yes, but not garbage. They should watch it AFTER they watch the greatest anime of all time FULL METAL ALCHEMIST BROTHERHOOD! Who's with me?!

Leo

that show is garbage it ruined avatar in a way

I wonder if Suraj wants to make sure they aren't picking their noses or something like that and edits it out. I know I would. I tried to watch one of the Game of Thrones unedited and it slowly unsynced with the episode so I think there are some low key cuts.

Anthony

pllssss watch korra! it's such a good show and is a good continuation from avatar

BeeIsBetter

This reaction has been brought to you by White Castle. It's what you crave. Maybe. Rana watching you eat that burger I felt your pain. I always regret White Castle about 2-3 bites in! I needed this today, thank you for the funny reaction! I knew this episode would strike a chord with you all because it's basically an Avatar skit within an episode. I loved how they poked fun at themselves too. The Avatar team really interacted a lot with the fandom while the show aired, so they were aware of a lot of complaints (like some people hated The Drill episode because they thought it was boring, I don't but that's why they showed the audience yawning) while the episode was a mix of a clip show and recap, it was also a bit of a love letter to the fandom. So here we are at the end. The next four episodes are brilliant and I look forward to your reactions! But it isn't really over yet. Trust me. :) Will you be doing an after show discussion to talk about the whole series with all the Normies? I hope so! I would love to see everyone geeking out together now that you'll all be on the same page.

Lego The Office

Careful. Even a hint of negativity around here and the patreon police will come and crucify you.

Marius

I'm jealous of how lit Rana was

Rachel MacDavid

FYI, Aang being played by a woman is a nod to the Broadway version of Peter Pan where Peter was played by a woman.

Andrew Knecht

Did you miss the part where they struggle to get one out on time weekly? I dont know why people keep asking the same thing knowing theyre going to be disappointed

DSP

Maybe let us wait an extra week, but try to release the final 4 parts together :) And maybe record them with Navi too, it'd be kinda sad knowing that she can't watch it with you

Now all 4 parts next week please.

Jordan

Argh!! We missed that part! I caught it in editing and was so upset

The Normies

Having some trouble getting those full reactions exported this week. We will for sure get 3x11 as well as 3x12 on here before next Wednesday!

The Normies

Also haha I don't think White Castle will be sponsoring your channel anytime soon.

Anthony

"Once in a lifetime thing." Seriously?

Anthony

If they dont straighten this out soon, i guarantee i won't be a patron anymore. Im not demanding anything from them other than clarity. Why is this even a thing? Everyone on here has made it abundantly clear how important the SERIES finale is. Spreading it out over 4 weeks for no other reason than to add another month of pay is a slap in the face to everyone who's been paying for avatar solely. (Yes, that is a perfectly acceptable reason to pledge money to someone) I just want this straightened out. This is a once in a lifetime thing, we deserve at the very least 2 episodes a week.

Marius

Next. But only one episode at a time

DSP

I'd love it if we would get the unedited versions in advance minus discussion. And then each week get the edited ones and discussions as per usual. I'm just really confused as to why youtube is getting all 4 parts in one day.

no it probably means just what it says = it's episode 18 (as in just the one)

Are you guys gonna watch Avatar: The legend of Korra after the finale?

Miles Macdonald

They have mentioned before that they are going to.

Jackie

I think it's pretty nifty that the plot twists, jokes and fan service still hold up even after a decade. Like, it was a little hard not to mention spoiler-y shit like when y'all kept asking if Jet really died 😂 I think it was HELLA important for the show to put a lesson in there for kids that a kiss is not always welcome, "Aang, I'm confused" is not consent. Being afraid of being called a bitch keeps women from outright saying "no" sometimes. Fourteen year old girls need to know how to be clear when they don't consent to intimate interaction and twelve year old boys need to learn how to ask for permission. Like, yesterday, cuz we're still dealing with grown ups who don't know how to do either. I really can't wait to watch y'all dive into the finale! I felt like my heart burst open when I first saw it, I am grateful I get to relive it thru you

mariko 真利子

also I cant wait for ur finale reaction pls make all four parts in one week... just its such a great experience.

Rebel Pilot

they mentioned that they got a lot of their details from a strangely well informed Cabbage trader ^^

Rebel Pilot

Yes please watch this. A little taste of how the fandom was during the shows air time. For me at least, I was 10-13 so I wasnt aware of any cons or trailers, I just watched the show after school and it blew my little mind.

Keep It Zen

do we get finale this week or next week ?

Karston James

Cozy4 dor the finale! :)

Ellie

I can't believe that you guys missed that it was "A surprisingly knowledgeable cabbage merchant..." who helped inform the playwright. That's one of the best jokes/punchlines in the episode imo xD. LOOOOVED watching y'all react to this though -- especially the Jet bit. lololol. I was cheesing so hard when that part was coming up because I knew y'all would connect to it. Can't wait for the finale!

The cabbage guy was there the whole time

PLEASE watch Korra with cozy 4 + navi DLC

Jason Balogun

Also, JESUS Nahid, give Katara a break.

AlexXis Amadeus

I can't wait for the Agni Kai reaction!!!

Leo

I just hope they don't do Korra at all. I know they probably will tho, so I won't hate on them for enjoying it, even if it is trash.

AlexXis Amadeus

I wouldnt mind if you guys wanted to put some time between Avatar and Korra but in the vid you make it sound like the cozy 4's journey is almost over when you got a years worth of Korra episodes to down.

Kaleb

The only flaw of the scene where Aang and Zuko are surrounded by the dragon flames in their episode, is Zuko's scar being on the wrong side.

J

Actually, the whole thing was a poke at how in "The Firebending Masters" they accidentally put Zuko's scar on the wrong side in the scene when the dragons breath their fire.

Kaleb

i hate that im in Alabama, White Castle over Krystals any day

Noah Burke

The movie came out a few years after the series I think, but it's applicable either way = ) I like to think the Fire Nation compensated the Cabbage Guy handsomely for all his inside knowledge!

Commander_Wario

It's going to be a great day! = )

Commander_Wario

they're eating white castle how could they not be high

CuteAdorableDog

They mentioned that a cabbage man was the source of their information

Burooj Ahanger

This is a genius episode and I'm glad you all enjoyed it as well.

Koala Banana

You guys need to watch the NYCC Reaction to the Avatar Finale. This is from 2008 <a href="https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=W5QUHLGytdA" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=W5QUHLGytdA</a>

Ricardo Fortuna

Nahid, funny as fuck this time, calling Zuko a cockblock and Kitara a bitch, lol

Dajefe70

thanks you guys, one of the best reaction videos to my favorite show. cant wait to see the reaction for the finale.

Thanatos

Not being rude, but it seems like Rana is really high during some of these reactions. (this being one of them). If I'm right, that's hilarious. Thanks for the vid, Suraj.

icebrotha

Why would they want to watch a documentary on Korea?

Shaan

I'm confused on the schedule for next Wednesday it says s3 ep 18 are you posting all 4 parts on Wednesday or just 1?

I love you guys but Zuko's girlfriend's name is MAY not MY ha ha. Also yes such a funny episode. Can't wait to see your reactions to the finale. It's epic!

Meagan

Full unedited finale version please!!!

Miguel Estrella

The kid who told Zuko that his scar was on the wrong side said that because in the play the actor had his scar on the wrong side.

Joshua

I imagine he just met the playwright in Ba Sing Se and just ranted in front of him for hours.

coffeemilk

Please watch Legend of Korea when you're finished

Fano

FYI some of the audio gets out of sync near the end, should you want to correct it before it’s public on YouTube

Kanan Jarrus

Headcanon: the cabbage merchant was a Fire Nation spy the whole time, and he was the #1 source of intel for the playwright

So I know these things take a while to edit and polish in order to get it under the playtime and not get strikes, hence the finale being split. Is there any reason why you don't just drop them unedited w/o commentary at once vault-style for all the people who have been waiting? I for one will still come back to hear the discussion on the edited episodes. It feels like a bummer to have it spread out for a month. Even the show didn't do that to the audience. Love what you guys do and thanks!

Albino

Did you catch how the play advertisement said the playwright traveled the globe interviewing people who interacted with team avatar... and one surprisingly knowledgeable merchant of cabbage... haha!

Edwin Wickey

give it some time thought till Korra it is WAY DIFFERENT

You guys should really really watch Korra after this, you won't regret it :) Don't let the cozy four die :'(

Knight of the Moon

Are you guys going to watch The Legend of Korra?

Alexander A

Woohoooooooooo!

Tabatha Cat

The lack of Game of Thrones references was surprising....when Arya watched the play about her family in GoT I couldn't stop thinking about Avatar haha

KuzonFire121

One of my favorite episodes!!! And now onto the finale! Which is funny, because the last episode of the finale will be coming out on my birthday! Which is awesome, cause I need something to actually look forward to on my birthday this year. So pumped!

Manny D.

Avatar state yip yip!

It's come to the point where I don't even know Nahid but whenever Sokka does something I'm like "omg that's so him"

Leo

One of the meta/self aware jokes I think was at the end regarding the movie. They walked out of the theatre calling the play horrible, garbage, and such, and at the end Sokka goes "But the effects were decent". Also, you guys seemed to miss when they mention the writers of this play at the start. They even credit the cabbage guy who surprisingly knew a lot. Also also, the voice over at the end says season ONE episode 17. Not sure if you think it's important enough to change.

What I love about this recap episode was how creative it was. Bryke (Bryan and Mike) have stated before that they hate generic recap episodes, most especially clip shows, so I love how the writing staff took what could've been a typical recap episode and twisted it around. They even took this opportunity to address a lot of fan complaints by making fun of their own work, which is honestly hard for any writer to do so major props! Anyways, final 4 episode hype!! God, I wonder how you'll edit all of that lol.

Lalisa Truong

You guys think Katara could use blood bending to make you shit yourself

Anthony

Oh ya this Episode spawned Tear Bending the MOST POWERFUL bending

Thanks would the full reaction for 3x11 be up also today,

PS

White Castle is a burger chain

^^ YEAP

Congrats on finishing the series bro. I know you're probably sick of editing and the grief from us passionate and "outspoken" fans. But can I just say, I would love to see an AAAMMMM compilation when this is all over.

Dalton Rupp

YouTube gets the whole finale in one day while we have to wait week by week. We better get a live finale.

Walter Carreno

I love that this one is like Team Avatar's reaction to the movie one of the funniest episodes

Just get the app it'll send you notifications

Walter Carreno

When I got the notification I got so happy lol

SW

Haha, I did the same thing. Excited to watch.

TJ Frangie
