The Boy (and Girls) in the Iceberg

Water, earth, fire, air. This is what we This is Yuppie! Hooray! It's our podcast. Alright, hey everybody. This is uh technically Alright, it's not that bad. Come on, you guys. Alright, and we're back! Taking you into the midnight hour. So this is technically episode one of either Avatar the Last Podbender, Team Avatar.

Greg came up with Flyaway on my Zephyr, a little red-hot chili pepper reference. Don't hate it.

I had yip-yip.

Yep, yip indeed.

It's a little weezer reference.

So, friends, we watched the first three episodes of Avatar the Last Airbender. We watched um the The Boy in the Iceberg, The Avatar Turns, and The Southern Air Temple.

Way to go.

Yeah, and I'm your co-host, Jordan.

And I'm your co-host, Katie.

And we're joined by our co-host.

Co-host? Who's a guest? Jessica.

Guest co-host, Jessica, who will fly in and out like an airbender.

Wow. Okay. Sort of if I want to be an airbender. I'm just saying I haven't picked my element yet.

Oh, she is opinion.

Don't be forced into that.

No, I I pick immediately. Okay.

Wow.

So we begin. Episode one starts. We get a little exposition about what's going on. We have a war. It's been going on for a hundred years. We have Fire Nation.

Sorry, you keep going.

Fire Nation is on the brink of winning said war. Avatar's gone. He's somehow the only person who could end this war. Not the other people. They couldn't rally together and stop them. Had to be the Avatar.

Ryan. I feel like everyone's like, nope, can't do it.

I don't know. I was like, what makes Fire Nation better than everybody else?

They're industrialized! Did you see their ships?

Did you see what Sokka was trying to fight with?

A snowball.

Very Princess Mononoke.

Ooh, getting some uh I don't know.

Sokka was so angsty. I just loved it. He was so grumpy and they're like beginning.

Oh, it's great. He's just he's just the skeptic the whole time.

unknown Okay.

Jessica, as a first timer. How was it?

It was good. It was a lot of information up top. Especially like the Hunter Ward. And it's like, oh, you know, there's airbender, earthbender, waterbender, firebender. And I'm like, whoa, what's happening? What are we bending? Yeah, and it's like air nomads. Water people? No, I can't remember. I was like, I couldn't get all their like Water Tribe.

Water tribe. Earth Nation?

Kingdom.

Fire Nation. Everyone has everyone has different names. No Empire. So I mean, we're good there.

Yeah.

And then there's non-benders who are just, I guess, affiliated with whatever element they live in.

Well, that's always like are there people in Fire Nation who aren't Firebenders?

Oh, absolutely.

unknown Yes.

So every nation has the benders and the non-benders. Right.

Water water nations.

Exclusively airbending right now. Exclusive.

He's got an exclusive. It's kind of a sur subject currently.

So we meet, we meet our character.

I don't know if we're gonna get into it, but I feel like he should be a little bit sadder about like Oh, Aang? Yeah.

So we're just gonna do like just a quick opinions of overall first three episodes. Yeah, I mean he did he takes it pretty well.

Wait. Oh, it's about a hundred years? Cool.

I wonder what my room I wonder what my room looks like. I haven't cleaned it in a hundred years. So a little nitpicky. Being a Nickelodeon kid show, the early episodes have some juvenile humor, which I feel like we've already established.

Maybe we haven't, but we've established with you personally that we gotta get into it and then it gets I thought the episodes were great.

Ooh, for I mean, yeah. It's like it's like pilot-y in that you had like set up the whole universe and so like not a lot can happen because you're already getting a lot of information.

And I think with that, they do a really good job. I mean, they set up some antagonism, you get a foil with the main character, you pretty much establish all the main characters. There's been so many shows that I've watched that I couldn't name drop them like the main five characters, but they do a good job of making sure you're like, oh, this is Katara, this is her thing.

She's a fledgling waterbender. This is Sokka, kinda sexist. He can't bend. This is Aang. He's immature.

Right. But I think this is You're doing Jessica a great job of it being your first time and you being able to identify all of that. Because I think my first time, I did not get it. I was like, what is happening?

And now you know you just have me and Katie sitting on the couch, and I'm just like anticipating every moment and wanting her to react in certain ways.

You're like, It's a lot of pressure. Oh you're laughing right now.

This is this is the amateur. Yeah, yeah.

This is the amateur. I cannot laugh at now. Are you ever gonna laugh?

Can we talk about the beginning a little bit?

Okay, uh, as a long longtime fan here, longtime fan, uh, pick me. Uh, as soon as it started and we fade to the title screen with like that white backdrop, black letters, book one, water, chapter one, boy on the iceberg, instant gooseies.

Early took me back to the Long Beach, sitting on the couch being sick. Uh yeah, that soundtrack. It was nice. And then I like glance over at Jordan and he's like just a really content like smile, just really happy with what is going on.

I was so comfortable, I almost just laid into Greg, just like getting to some cuddles.

Side note, Greg, who you don't know, is Jessica's husband. So anyway, he enjoyed it.

He's downstairs.

Not invited. Well, any opening? Oh, opening your eye.

I was like, oh, earth, air, water, fire, where have I heard this before? Captain Planet, where's Element Heart?

It's inside of all of us. We'll just say the non-benders. The non-benders are hard.

Because like Avatar is like Captain Planet, but he's also air, aka Wind, which like, I don't know, in the Captain Planet universe. I don't know if Wind was the best. Oh.

Well. It's not about.

But I mean, certainly better than Heart. I mean, we all know Heart was kind of the BS one anyway.

unknown Yeah.

But then my other thought later, and it took me a while to realize it, but I was also like, this is like the new She-Ra on Netflix. Have you guys seen the new She-Ra? No.

I just re-watch Avatar. I mean, I'll get done, I'll finish the LS episode of Korra, and I'll be like, can we watch Avatar again? So no.

No.

Okay, so She-Ra is great, but there's like different princesses on this planet, and one princess is like the plant princess, and one princess is like the water princess. This is adorable. One princess is the ice princess, and she controls ice. Like they're little like benders, but they're princesses.

See now we know. Do you have do you have?

I love Zuko's desperation in the first three episodes to find the avatar at all costs. And then when he has him, it's so funny to watch him just like freak out. Like, Aang trashes him with his mattress in his bedroom, which that mattress looked gross. I don't know if you paid attention. I was like, geez, get some sheets on that or something.

And then he escapes. He's flying away, and then Zuko jumps like 30 feet to like jump on top of him and then get him. And then next thing we know, Zuko's falling into the ocean, apparently climbs up the side of the ship.

Yeah, that was insane.

So he's very athletic.

unknown Yeah.

And I appreciate that.

It's great. And I loved finding out that the person who plays the voice actor for Zuko is the guy who plays Rufio.

In Hook.

Oh.

I mean, were you surprised by that?

Yeah, I was very surprised. Oh, I can hear it now. I've only seen Rufio in Hook and in Oh gosh, what was American Dragon, Jake Long. What?

American Dragon, Jake Long.

No, I haven't seen that. What's the first one? No, he was in a movie with Antonio Banderas and Lauren from Degrassi. That's her real name. What? Yeah, and it's about ballroom dancing where like Antonio Banderas goes into like this inner city school and Rufio's one of like the high school students.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

And like teaches them ballroom dancing.

Hmm. Might have to watch this.

You know, like around the time Step Up came out. Which is like, how old was Rufio? You shouldn't have been playing a high schooler at that point.

No, the beautiful thing about the guy who plays him is that his voice is just like like parts of him, like he just doesn't age. Like he shows up at cons, and I guess he you know he look you know he looks like he's a 20 or something, but he he could be he could be all of our dads.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure he's Filipino. I think that's accurate. Rufi.

Uh okay, speaking of voice actors, uh Commander Zhao, sideburns, the big dad guy. Uh totally Jason Isaacs, who is Lucius Malfoy. Wow.

Yes! Lucius Malfoy.

Also, the guy who plays Sokka is an alumni of All That.

Which worse than on All That?

Uh, his name's like Jack Decina. I guess I need a picture, honestly.

If it's not a Thompson, Amanda Bynes.

I don't think he was like Kina Mikel era.

Is there more than I think? Is there a doesn't have a structured like SNL?

Like you'd have like your cat.

What was her name? What was the Amanda Bynes? No, not Amanda Bynes. She like did the news. You know how all that had like a news segment. It was like update, but on all that.

Right.

Hmm.

unknown No.

It was like Lori, Lori Beth.

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay.

She's the best.

Another Nickelodeon show.

And I see, this is why I'm drawing a blank, is because You're a Disney kid?

Because I'm a Disney girl.

Um well I don't know if you remember this, Katie, but do you remember we had an orange velvet couch in my house growing up? And it was like the couch from Snick. You know, the teen Nick Snick.

Oh wow. What?

You guys don't remember this?

Not really.

I can't get on Nickelodeon. It turned into Snick.

I never thought about that before.

Would the S make it like a thing, but it was for teens. And that's like all that would be part of SNCC. And Are You Afraid of the Dark? Which I wouldn't watch because that was too scary.

Yeah, because I was afraid of the dark.

Um but like the interstitials would be like teens sitting on this like orange couch, because it's Nickelodeon. It's like orange, kind of. But they'd be like in like a dark, I don't know. In my mind, it was like a black abyss with an orange couch, but it was like we had the Snick couch.

Where?

It was in our main living room. This is like we were young. I don't know when we finally upgraded the couch, but we used to have like an orange velvet couch.

Did you have a matching Nickelodeon blimp from the Kids' Choice Awards?

That would be great, or some like slime just hanging out. Okay. Yeah.

You'd have like the orange with Nickelodeon, but then everything's slime and it's yeah. The end.

Wow.

So Avatar, you watch the show, and I love that they're just like str like they are so confident in what they're doing. Like the pacing, like I remember like the second episode, like there's just a moment where there's a slow burn happening. Like Sokka's standing on like the edge of the ice. Like, it doesn't feel like it should be a Nickelodeon show or like a normal kid show.

Definitely like Miyazaki-esque, just kind of like taking its own time. And so I definitely really appreciate and respect that Nickelodeon let this show fly. So thank you, Nickelodeon.

Yeah. I mean, should we go back to episode one where I find like a kid in this like iceberg? She's like, I can kind of waterbend, and she's like holding a fish in like above the canoe, and her brother's like not paying attention, which I related to that. Like it was a very true brother-sister relationship, where like brother doesn't like care at all like what's going on.

What the sister is doing. Just in PTSD. And then he's like, whatever, not a big deal. Just because if he thinks waterbending's stupid because like he can't do it. Obviously, if he was a waterbender, he'd be like all about it. Um, and then they like go in like rapids all of a sudden. I don't know if this is like true to life in the Antarctic.

And then as soon as their boat crashes, the rapids like disappear and they're just like alone on the one ice flow.

It's magic, it's destiny. The fates drew them there.

And so then they find this like little boy in ice, and she breaks him open, and he's like, Hey, let's go penguin sliding, which was great. It was a great classic kids' cartoon moment where he you're like expecting him to be all profound, and he's just like, Let's be friends. Oh yeah, no. But the greatest moment was meeting Appa.

Aww. But then blows like a snot rocket all over Sokka, and he just like one of the first things.

I mean, is that what was endearing about him?

The snot morgum? Well, I think, well, as Greg, my husband said, I think what's endearing about bus, because he does look a mixture of Tochoro and the cat bus from my neighbor Tochoro. So it's just a cute design for water buffalo with his little tail, and he's like swims through the water, he's like sleepy.

Has that beautiful growl?

Yeah.

Can't fly. I mean.

Hey, you try sleeping for 100 years. Can you Okay, let's talk about this. How much energy does it take to A, bend an element, B, fly as a, I'm assuming several ton animal.

Well, they just fly, right? Like, is he bending air like the animal? But they're like natural. I think. They never I don't think they Do any of the other my question was do any of the other elemental have like elemental creatures like like there's she doesn't have like a water creature that like you just have to keep it.

She can find a dolphin around. Maybe there are other animals.

I mean the penguins, other than their weird freaky extra arms and seal faces.

Or the giant like tiger seals like we meet at the beginning with the huge mouths.

We'll find out.

The juxtaposition in the first episode of like goofy and light with Aang and the Gang versus Ooh, Aang and the Gang, that's a good point. Versus the like seriousness and the darkness of what Zuko and Uncle are doing.

Oh no, Uncle Uncle T. Uncle's not serious. Uncle, I wrote down Uncle Fire, best character crusher book.

Uncle Fire. Also, yes, Uncle Fire is the best character.

Ah. It's so good. And like he just has he's just smooth and calm, collected.

Wise. He's been around. I mean, you get like a nice sensei vibe from him.

Like I want him to be my uncle.

Okay, let's get in it. Uh, favorite characters so far? Three episodes in.

Um, well, Apa, Uncle Fire. Um, I mean, Kitar. I mean, obviously I'm gonna like the girl character the best.

Why?

Um, because I like her the best. I don't know, like sibling rivalry. Ag is like so yellow. Don't you dare.

Don't you dare say Aung. That's how they pronounce it in the movie. They say Aung.

Oh, instead of Aang?

And Avatar.

unknown Oh.

Really?

No, we can't. No, I don't even talk about Ahsoka.

Okay. We gotta move on. Okay. Well, you can air your grievances another time. I haven't seen the live action.

Three episodes in. Favorite characters? Katie?

Um, Uncle Iroh is definitely up there. I also like Grand Grand. Okay, I thought Grand Grand was cold as ice.

Yeah, no, no, no bad grand.

No, I liked her because she was so obviously. I can't really remember her like being that way.

No. This was the worst grandgrand moment for me. Because in my mind, like they they speak fondly of her after this episode. Yeah. Oh yeah, Grand Grand. No.

Okay, wait. But so she has a little moment. She's been like holding it together. Like her, like the kids have died, or at least the mom, which I don't know if that's they don't establish the relationship. I don't know. So her dad's. Oh, yeah, we don't know if it's the mom or the dad.

Mom died, all the men are gone.

Right. So she's definitely holding down the fort. Okay. In the end, she gives them their little pack to go and gives like her blessing. So you know, I feel for those grandmas. And then I don't do the favorites, so they're all good in their own way. And Sokka, I like that he was like angsty. Maybe it's a good time, but he's like out of control.

Just like Aang, Katara, she's good.

But like obviously, I like Grand Grand Stonefaced the first time we meet her with like the kids come back. But then when they're like telling Aang to like get out of the village, like we don't like you anymore. I was like, what's Grand Grand have against this little boy?

Like Grand Grand was gonna get the pitchfork out.

Uh yeah, because her and Sokka are trying to like keep it together, and yeah, those were the rules. They weren't supposed to go screw around on the ship and send off the signal.

So you're banished from the village and sent to the wastes of the world.

Yeah. Yeah, it's tough choices.

It's a war, man! Oh wow, getting the the Mulan reference. Okay, uh, beginning of episode two, you get the actual theme where it goes through like water, earth, fire, air. But yeah, you guys noticed, total spoilers for that episode. It's like, oh my brother and I discovered the new avatar, an airbender name ang.

And no one, he had not fessed up to that. No one knew.

Yeah, like did you know he was the avatar? Jessica?

I mean, yeah, because I knew that the main character was Caillou and the kid was Killily Caillou.

The name's called Avatar Colin the last airbender.

Although I didn't know until later, I was like, are the arrows indicating that he like does the airbender or the well, now I know all airbenders, or at least two airbenders, have arrows on their foreheads. But I thought maybe that was also like the mark of the avatar. But apparently it's just And we also find out that you don't have to be an airbender to be an Avatar, which I thought that that's what they were saying at the beginning.

And I was like, why does the airbenders get to like lord over everyone else?

Because they have the best name, Air Nomad.

Okay, wait, wait. Okay, what's your favorite character?

Sokka, 100%. Well, okay, so I like Sokka throughout. He's great. Uncle Iro.

Three episodes in was Three episodes in, Sokka had some good moments.

Sokka's doing his own thing, but he's being supportive. You gotta like Aang. Uh Zuko is a fantastic foil. Like when I remember like early times I've watched it, I've never like connected with Zuko. But I like him for his passion.

Right. And so then during like the little fight, were you rooting for Zuko? Were you rooting for like sideburns?

Oh, that fight. There's been a lot of fighting.

It is called an Agni Kai, a duel between firebenders.

I didn't really have a like a stake in it yet. Like you weren't invested. I mean, obviously we're not team fire overall.

Unless it's team.

Like these people should just be subjugated. I don't understand.

We should probably enact genocide.

What B got in Fire's bonnet that they were like, I guess we should just rule the world.

Imperialism, Jessica. They wanted to expand.

I guess that's like always my question these days. I'm like, all this work for what? So you can just like tell people what to do? Doesn't sound like worth it. But um, I don't know. I kind of wanted Pink Eye to get his butt handed to him. I see.

Pink Eye is Zuko for listening to Zoo. Because no one knew what was going on with his eye. We still don't. Obviously, it's Pink Eye. They do say, remember the last time you battled a master and it pans over to his scar on his face.

Did you notice that, Jessica?

Yeah. I mean, I kind of well, one, again, before we saw other, I was like, oh, is it like the um forehead arrow? The mark of a fire pattern.

And you will get pink eye.

Yeah, yeah, I could see that. Um, just like I guess Water Chab, they all have the haircut or like the hairstyle really annoying to wear at all times.

unknown Yeah.

Like it's impair your ability to see to. Like having like constant hair in front of your face, but just like a rope.

It's a cultural thing, Jessica.

I know, I'm just saying it's this doesn't seem practical.

What is your opinion of the character designs?

You mean like the look of them?

Yeah, in general. Well, I think it's a little bit more. Arrow arrow tattoos and pink eye.

Well, yeah, it's very interesting. Rick, I wrote down is fire Japan when Tibet water the Inuits, but they're in south of Antarctica. But there's the same, are they the same tribe and the North Pole? I just keep watching. And then Earth question mark. I mean, right now at this point, I'm most interested in Earth just because we haven't seen other than the beginning where the guy like stamps his foot and the like earth raises up.

Right. Because I do feel like if I had to like choose a element outside of Avatar, like just in the world, Earth is like the element.

That tracks. Taurus.

Or water. You know what other Taurus said that she would be an Earthbender today? My mother. Who stayed. Yeah, no, I was trying to explain what we were doing, and my mom's like, what's going on? And she's like, Well, I would be Earth, and your dad would be fire. I was like, what do he? Anyway.

Oh, I also wrote down, you need all four elements to defeat one fire. They were like, only the guy who has all four can defeat. That's like, do you need all four to defeat a waterbender? No. Why? What makes firebenders other than they have industrialism? But that doesn't like in a one-on-one fight, it shouldn't matter.

Mmm. Plot.

But I did notice this is the first time I really noticed that like Aang has an innate advantage of like fighting all these like firebenders because they don't know how to combat an airbender. You could probably take down an earthbender or waterbender, but he's like, suck it. I got all this air power.

Check this out. Wham bam. Thank you, ma'am.

Mm-hmm. Right, you've never dealt with me before. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Perfect.

It was fun watching him zip around and it's like seeing an old friend for me. Yeah, Uncle Fire.

Wrote down. Arrowhead. Better or worse than Harry Potter's scar?

Ooh. Thoughts. Oh.

Uh this is what I thought it marked him as an avatar. You know how like Harry's the chosen one? I was like, giant arrow in your head. Chosen one? Yeah, definitely different.

In terms of how they get them, I don't want Harry's burden that comes with how he got his scar.

Right. But I mean basically the same thing happened to Aang, in that his family is now dead.

That's true.

Although, like, how do like are there only boy we only saw boy airbenders.

Mm-hmm.

And like they only saw boy firebenders.

They get sent off to a monastery to train. So I'm just saying, how are we creating new airbenders?

Ooh.

Where is new airbender's coming from? Because I mean, if it's monastic life as we know it, they're not meeting ladies.

No. None of that around.

Right.

But they have a s a certain marking to them. So like, are they born with the marking or are they like chosen like a like uh I'm trying to think of something where they're like christen you when they give you the marking. And it's branded. Are they branded with those arrows? Jessica's here to ask the tough questions.

It's a very painful process. Everyone else looks like what we would consider a normal human being.

Okay, to answer your question, I would take the arrow tattoos because they're like on his hands and his feet, like Qatar like watches him put his clothes on. She's like, mm-hmm what's going on there.

I know. I felt like I needed to look away from the screen.

Like it was kind of intimate.

And he was like, huh?

Well, it was weird that he woke up from a dream in a new place without his shirt on, having seemingly not remembered getting to that place.

Mm-hmm.

So it's like, what happened between getting on uh Opa? Like, did he just pass out? Because he was driving Opa. I mean Appa was like swimming. Oh, that was the other thing. Why did it take them longer than a like they were out in the canoe for longer than a day fishing? It seemed like they got very far away from the village very quickly.

Hey, you saw there was not many resources in their village. Sokka had to find some stuff, and it was all in that canoe. It was gone.

Well, you know they're all on the keto diet, just eating uh seal fat. You'd have to know about the keto diet. Well, yeah, I just learned about the keto diet that's like based on like Inuits who like would live a long time and not have diseases, and all they ate were like seals. Wow. They didn't have vegetables.

Like just based off of their diet, the innovative.

Well, they like studied that and I think some other societies, but one of the big ones, and then they like some like white people got trapped with the Inuits for a while and they ate their diet and they did fine because they were like, oh, is it like a uh genetic thing? Like they're predisposed to be able to have that diet, but it turns out nope.

Any person could just eat seal meat and be fine.

Wow.

Join us next week when we begin the seal fat diet.

I mean, he wanted that seal jerky. He was very upset that the seal jerky was gone.

Because he is on the keto diet, but that campfire smelled real nice.

Okay, so we uh end our episode. Aang finds out he is presumably the last of his kind, takes it kind of rough, goes into the avatar state, has to be calmed down. He's like creating a tornado. Everyone's like, oh my gosh, calm down. They go off on their adventure.

Okay, wait, wait.

Let's see, and then there's like showing different scenes from around the world, like Oh, when he goes when he goes avatar.

Right. So I was like, what's happening? Like, what is being activated around the world?

I think when he is using his avatar powers at these like holy areas around the world, they're also like he's activating those like statues or holy areas, I'm assuming. And so people are like, Whoa, we haven't seen this in a hundred years! I know what this means. Sage person.

Mm-hmm. Okay.

Well, yeah, that was my other question. So after we figure out that you can have avatars, we'll they come in sequence. Each element gets an avatar when the last one dies, I guess. It just like But so like the at the air temple, there's all the statues of the previous avatars. So presumably the other temples also have all the statues of all the other avatars.

I hope not all of them. That seems that there was a lot of statues.

Yeah, but they're not all you have to be an airbender to go to the air temple. So if you're a waterbender, do you not get to like go see all your incarnated peeps before?

I think that was something special. You know, just the airbenders get that treatment. Let's like have all the statues.

They were probably really bored at times. I mean, because Aang noted that nobody could get up there except for airbenders. So why have a special door that can only be unlocked with airbenders?

So they had something to do.

Clearly.

I don't know. Another tough question by Jessica.

We'll have to start sending emails to the creative team. So, guys, what were you thinking?

Yeah, we need some answers. Okay. And I I feel like it was really this emotional. I feel like I was moved. I was disturbed by the Fire Nation attack, and I felt prank. I don't know.

When you walk in and see all the bones and his teacher and teacher best friend, maybe father figure.

Mm-hmm. Yeah, it's like it finally it's probably like that that really hits us. Like, oh, it's been a hundred years and people are now dead.

Probably just in the end.

And I am the last airbender. Which I kind of feel like maybe he's not the last airbender. Because I feel like they never are the last airbender.

Do you have a theory about what's gonna happen next?

Well, I guess after this last episode, what did we end with? Let's see. The fire guys are going after him, and their their plan is to make him or make him have him learn how to do waterbending, right?

Mm-hmm.

Because you have to do it in order for some reason.

Which I don't know if you have to do it in order. I think could no one is there to teach Aang, and so I think Guitar made the observation about the cycle, and he's like, Okay, yeah, yeah, we'll go we'll go do water next. Also, Air and Water, fairly similar.

Yeah. I don't know, and like Guitar is the only one who really has it together, and so she's like, okay. You know, trying to ground up the boys.

She's also never been away from home before, so yeah, everyone's on a new adventure.

Yeah, just like us.

So I guess I'm guessing that they're headed to the North Pole, but they obviously won't get there immediately. They'll have some kind of adventure on some kind of random island.

Well, we have to fill 20 episodes.

Yeah.

Uh what surprised you most, Katie, about this rewatch?

Hmm. I mean, I did get a little teary-eyed, which shouldn't be a big surprise to anyone in this room.

Katie gets teary-eyed watching anything.

Okay, and then Jordan gets some kind of pleasure watching me like cry like watching these shows.

I don't stare, but I you know, I look over, I'm curious. I'd I like to watch you being moved by something.

And I am.

And it's pleasurable for me.

And uh well. And I feel like Jessica, would you say you're a crier? Me? No. I also would say no.

So about Jessica?

So Jessica stoned me. I feel like crying. What was it?

I'll get back to you if I remember what it was.

When did you cry?

I don't even know now. There was like two different points.

I think Grand Grand was like packing up and telling them that they're like destinies are intertwined.

Yeah. You looked over?

Yeah, of course I did. I got some goosies, so I looked over to see what Katie was doing, and she was wiping her eyes.

Well, there was a couple moments I was doing like breathing exercises. Because you're a firebender. Keep it together. Oh yeah. Like where he's like Uncle Iroh's talking about like breath of fire type stuff. Does it remind you of my dad telling us about breath of fire?

What? That wasn't directed at me.

Okay. So when I was younger, my dad was all about like the power of breath and he would do this thing. Why are they breathing in and out of your nose? I think really fast. My mom was right. So it's been a very educational day.

Is he Japanese? No. Okay. Not a firebender.

No. Yeah, yeah. I mean, I'm feeling really optimistic. I wasn't feeling super excited to watch the beginning episodes for some reason.

Because the n the like the back 50 are fantastic.

And these ones are good, but I think they get a lot better.

Quick, who had the best fashion?

Oh, best fashion. Like which outfit would I want to wear the most? Green fan. Green.

Just what furs?

Yeah, he got an issue.

Did you check me out when I said that?

Although I was like, okay, so yes, you're wearing your like warm outfit, which was like, does the power of the wind keep Aang warm when he's like Presumably he had not not a coat.

Nothing touched most of his buttons. His head was freezing. That boy needed a hat.

Yeah, and then later I was like, Kitara and um what's her brother's name again? Sokka. Sokka. Shouldn't they be overheating when they're at the wind? Like they're like wearing such warm outfits and it's like clearly like hot outside.

There was like it looked wintery at times. There's like some snow at the Southern Air Temple. High elevation.

I mean unless they climbed up or climbed or flew.

Flew. Glided.

And then we don't really know how Fire Nation got up there. Not yet. Oh, and then I was like, did they kill all the yaks? Did we talk about that? All the what? All the yaks, all the appas.

Not yet. Oh. Not yet.

I mean stay tuned. I'm assuming they murdered them all.

Oh my gosh.

And then ate them? I don't know. Or just left them. I don't know.

You're gonna bring up the keto diet again? Maybe they're into it. Okay.

They can just like cook their own meat like super easy. Okay, that scene was amazing. I appreciated the animators showing in the background of the firebenders using their little fires to melt the iced over comrades from. Oh, that was definitely highlight. He's just like, yeah, that's the kind of stuff I'm here for.

Barking to clean them out.

Right. Then he was like, oh, well, whenever you're done with that. Oh, Rufio.

Okay, outfit.

What? No, you outfit.

Uh not angs. I don't know. Like the yellow and orange and kind of front.

It's like a cape, but it's like not a cape. It's also attached. Yeah, it's interesting.

Flowy tunicky.

I was thinking like what would that be like in real life too? It's like aerodynamic.

Ooh.

I mean, yeah, I don't think I'd want to wear the Fire Nation outfit. Those like helmets are like too intense.

They're very spiky. Yeah. Looks like skulls.

Yeah. Yeah, so. Can I wear that sweet? Yeah, in you at first. See?

I guess I guess we're going first. Alright, now we know. Okay, rate the episodes. Boy in the iceberg, episode one.

Boy in the iceberg. I say of the three. Um, probably that one's the lowest just because it is like so set up.

Gotta meet meet lots of friends.

Three out of ten yips. Three out of ten yips? I mean it was five five out of ten yips.

Three? Wow, no, I was gonna say four.

Well, you guys tell me that the other ones are so much better. So like I can't wear like ten out of ten yips, and then like later there's an amazing episode where you're like It's like also ten out of ten yips.

No, no, I respect the low score.

Knowing what I know of like conservative. We'll go six. I'm expecting it was like six?

Six yip-yips. Whatever. Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.

Well, there you go.

Okay, episode two, Avatar Returns. How many yips?

Okay, but now since we watched them back to back, you guys remind me. Avatar returns. So it ends.

Like the flares going off. Oh, right. Okay, so this is where they're defrosting the people.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
