00:00:0010% Hong Kong, 10% Beijing, and 80% New York City, Rava and Vaatu are 20% Zoroastrianism
00:00:28and 80% Christianity. Moral dualism never really had its place in Avatar, things were
00:00:50always more complicated than this, but this is twice now Brake has used moral dualism
00:00:54to write their way out of a more interesting, more complicated, more nuanced story.
00:01:24So, sure, while Vaatu has some similarities to Ahriman, an evil Zoroastrianist, Brake

00:03:45Vaatu and his very existence completely reworks the entire season. Remember how all this started
00:03:49with the Water Tribe's lack of respect for the spirits, resulting in angry spirits? Turns
00:03:52out Unalaq has been controlling them the entire time, and has been communing with Vaatu in
00:03:56an attempt to free him. And has been communing with Vaatu in an attempt to free him, become
00:04:00a Dark Avatar, destroy the entire time, and has been communing with Vaatu in an attempt

00:06:04an attempt to free him, become a Dark Avatar, destroy the entire time, and has been communing
00:06:15with Vaatu in an attempt to free him, become a Dark Avatar, destroy the entire time, and
00:06:43Do you remember how all this started with the Water Tribe's lack of respect for the species?
00:07:13The Avatar is meant to be the balance of the world.
00:07:43The Avatar is meant to be the balance of the world.
00:08:13The Avatar is meant to be the balance of the world.
00:08:41The Avatar is meant to be the balance of the world.
00:08:52But in the process
00:08:58you want proof, look to the sky.
00:09:07All this started with the Water Tribe's lack of respect for the spirits, resulting in angry
00:09:12spirits.
00:09:13Turns out Unalaq has been controlling them the entire time and has been commu-
00:09:15You know I-
00:09:43You're here.
00:09:44Where's dad?
00:09:45Unalaq wiped out the entire southern resistance and captured your father.
00:09:51I'll get him back.
00:09:53Where is my mother?
00:09:55She's in the healing hut.
00:09:57So many injured.
00:10:03Her soul is trapped in the spirit world.
00:10:06Oh my goodness.
00:10:08How long has she been away?
00:10:09Almost a week.
00:10:11I've tried to keep her energy flowing, but I can feel her slipping away.
00:10:16How much longer can she survive like this?
00:10:18I don't know, but she's very strong.
00:10:22Some people were kind of upset that Katara seems to just be relegated to being a healer,
00:10:26but like, guys she's 80.
00:10:33She ain't no longer gonna be able to do backflips and stuff.
00:10:40She's got too comfy with Yoda.
00:10:52Like I know that the elderly tended to be like a lot more fit and active in Avatar,
00:10:57but like they're part of a war.
00:10:59They kind of have- a war was going on.
00:11:01They kind of had to be.
00:11:03Katara grew old during a time of peace.
00:11:05She didn't have to keep herself in top shape.
00:11:10You can finally relax and enjoy life.
00:11:13Yeah, let the woman rest.
00:11:15Yeah, I mean like Toph does kind of the same thing.
00:11:17Like Toph is physically active, but then she basically says like,
00:11:20don't tell Korra, but my back is killing me.
00:11:41Don't worry!
00:11:55Turns out Unalaq has been controlling them the entire time,
00:11:57and has been communing with Vaatu in an attempt to free him,
00:12:00become a dark avatar, destroy time, and-
00:12:02It's true that when Wan fused with Raava, he tipped the scales in her favor.
00:12:19He tipped the scales in her favor,
00:12:22but this time I'll be here to level the playing field.
00:12:25When Harmonic Convergence comes, I will fuse with Vaatu,
00:12:30and together we will become the new avatar.
00:12:35Look at the way Eska and Desna fucking,
00:12:39like, everything, they're just like, wait, what?
00:12:44Gave him the biggest thigh high ever.
00:12:53Free him, become a dark avatar, destroy the-
00:12:57The four dark elements, like flames, obsidian, oil, and carbon monoxide.
00:13:04And has been communing with Vaatu in an attempt to free him,
00:13:06become a dark avatar, destroy the real avatar, plunge the entire world into-
00:13:10To free him, become a dark avatar, destroy the real avatar,
00:13:13plunge the entire world into 10,000 years of chaos and darkness, and-
00:13:17Why? Good-
00:13:19Why? Good-
00:13:20Why? Good question, they never actually explain that part.
00:13:28Well, they do later on, they claim Unalaq was part of the Red Lotus-
00:13:32Once he fuses with Va-
00:13:43Tenten, go find Jinora!
00:13:51Ah!
00:14:03The cannibals, the-
00:14:06Tenten, go find Jinora!
00:14:18Plan to enact a really dumb-
00:14:21Why? Good question, they never actually explain that part.
00:14:24Well, they do-
00:14:25Well, they do-
00:14:36The same-
00:14:37Are you sure about that?
00:14:38What do you mean?
00:14:39The idea of having nations and governments is as foolish as keeping the human in spirit-
00:14:49Well, they do later on, they claim Unalaq was part of the Red Lotus,
00:14:51and this was all part of their plan to enact a really dumb, nonsensical anarchism,
00:14:55but that's really stupid, so I'm going to ignore it.
00:14:57So the season-
00:14:58But I'm going to ignore it, so-
00:15:00Part of their plan to enact a really dumb, nonsensical anarchism,
00:15:03but that's really stupid, so I'm going to ignore it.
00:15:05So the season started with a very complicated, multi-layered issue
00:15:08between independence and cultural identity versus the Water Tribe's duty-
00:15:23So the season started with a very complicated, multi-layered issue
00:15:26between independence and cultural identity versus the Water Tribe's duty to the spirits,
00:15:30wrapped up in the dysfunctional relationships of multiple-
00:15:36...
00:15:40Being attacked!
00:15:43Go. I was a General in the Northern Water Tribe. Sworn to protect-
00:15:48Brother...
00:15:50Brother...
00:15:51We're being attacked!
00:16:05relationships of multiple families
00:16:19wrapped up in the dysfunctional relationships of multiple families and we've ended with you see
00:16:25darkness is the heart's true essence like every single fucking animated show that professes to
00:16:31be mature actual maturity is too much for anyone involved to handle and so they just revert back
00:16:36to a shounen anime a show sets up more political subtext than any series would ever have the balls
00:16:41to do and the end result is a shitty version of a kingdom oh froze again uh-oh
00:16:52the two words i feel like this has to be said harmonica virgins
00:16:56it sounds like a title of a baby visual novel i mean
00:17:024chan made a visual novel and its title is absolutely horrible
00:17:08oh no oh dear
00:17:25so
00:17:42i'm not kidding this is a real game
00:17:50oh
00:17:55uh
00:18:01what a horrible day to be able to read
00:18:07you see balls to do and the end result is a shitty version of a kingdom hearts boss
00:18:12fight why does this keep happening what like every single
00:18:24you know as much as i tend to use like xehanort as like
00:18:28kind of like oh yeah this is what the show turned into xehanort himself is actually a really cool
00:18:33villain because like the series never pretended to be anything else yeah it's such a fun thing
00:18:41because it's always fun to beat him with a stick for all this time kingdom hearts has
00:18:47perfectly maintained the vibe of like anime from 2002
00:18:55right down to having various voice actors from its yeah
00:19:01god you know they have like some voice actor for the master of masters and all i'm thinking is
00:19:06man they really should have gotten eric stewart to do it
00:19:12yeah as a head of a major corporation i do that every day
00:19:27uh i originally found out how or his voice actor is and i'm like damn
00:19:35what xehanort must be really good at shadow finger puppets
00:19:42nope they're all bad every single fucking animated show that professes to be mature
00:19:46actual maturity is too much for anyone involved to handle and so they just revert back to a shonen
00:19:51anime thank goodness you're all okay
00:20:05they're going to be all right but i need to get them into some spirit water right away
00:20:21thank goodness you're all okay did you find jenora i was able to rescue her soul
00:20:26but she wasn't ready to return to her body yet she sensed the world was in grave danger she was right
00:20:35we commercial guy in that oh no that's brock and like seto kaiba and james
00:20:40were you able to stop unarach and vatu no they fused that
00:21:00animated show that professes to be mature actual maturity
00:21:03is too much for anyone involved to handle and so they just revert back to a show
00:21:10so
00:21:20who's back and she's a blue giant
00:21:34so they just revert back to a shonen anime a show sets up more political subtext than
00:21:43any series would ever have the balls to do and the end result is a shitty version of a kingdom
00:21:48hearts boss fight why does this keep happening why do you so i like this clip and the end result
00:21:53is a shitty version of a kingdom hearts boss fight there's a good clip
00:21:59the end result is a shitty version of a kingdom hearts boss fight oh you guys want to see some
00:22:05bullshit like you see how many how many flurries that that uh that boss is being hit with look
00:22:12at the health bar in the top right corner and the end result is a shitty version of
00:22:19hell why does this keep happening forever why do so many shows do this
00:22:24of course i want to kill
00:22:55so
00:22:57so
00:23:17don't worry they're all right kora saved the world
00:23:26so
00:23:39does this keep happening why do so many shows do this trying to be this complicated and nuanced
00:23:44story but then at the last minute chickening out and just going with and then they use the
00:23:47power friendship to defeat out and just going with and then they use the power friendship
00:23:52to defeat mega satan
00:24:05well that's a rhetorical question i know why when people say they want mature animation
00:24:09and complicated villains what they actually want is naruto but with more blood and gore
00:24:13and that was the problem for a lot of people in regards to this season the first half has a lot
00:24:17of interesting things but one thing it didn't have was a lot of bending fights post beginnings
00:24:22the season is nothing but bending fights at the very end they stop bending entirely and start
00:24:27shooting dragon ball z lasers from their chests it's the stakes the stakes get so high the first
00:24:34half has a steak sorry that was off topic wasn't it yeah that's fine
00:24:51the first half has a lot of interesting things but one thing it didn't have was a lot of bending
00:24:55fights post beginning the end they stop bending entirely and it's the stakes the stakes get so
00:25:02high it's the stakes the stakes get so high and they
00:25:22i'm the last avatar i'm so sorry tenzin
00:25:26he destroyed my connection to the past avatars
00:25:34the past avatars too if that's true then the cycle is over
00:25:41when vatu destroyed rava
00:25:49it's the stakes the stakes get so high and they don't need to be this high all the time you had
00:25:56a really good idea to start with but because it was a quieter and more meditative idea about an
00:26:00issue the avatar couldn't just punch really hard they just threw it away kora's entire arc is about
00:26:05learning she can't just punch every problem away but the story is high all the time you had a
00:26:10really good idea to start the time you had a really good idea to start with but because it was a quieter
00:26:17each other then he became chief no wonder you guys don't like each other
00:26:23ow what isn't that what happened
00:26:32you had a really good idea to start with but because it was a quieter and more meditative
00:26:36idea about an issue the avatar couldn't just punch really hard they just threw it away kora's
00:26:40entire arc is hard they just threw it away kora's entire arc is about learning she can't just punch
00:26:46every problem away

00:51:59lowering the stakes like that lets the audience come down from the adrenaline high if they kept

00:52:09they go back up to where they were at the end of the last airbender and then go even bigger for
00:52:21meeting first
00:52:22thus spit it out doing exactly what amon says is wrong with that you don't
00:52:30to releasing your friends about you cora
00:52:38free this way it would have been really healthy long term then in the next season they go back
00:52:42up to where they were at the end of the last airbender and then go even bigger for no reason
00:52:47again to preach an aura from the fog of ready to return to her body yet she sensed the world
00:53:04firm then in the next season they go back up to where they were at the end of the last airbender
00:53:08and then go even bigger for no reason again like season one reason again like season
00:53:17reason again
00:53:28for no reason again like season one you had a really cool thing going here
00:53:33why did you not follow through every route you could have taken with una lock in the civil war
00:53:41dark
00:53:41past avatars live on and forgot what it was like
00:53:54really cool thing going here why did you not follow through every route you could have taken
00:53:59with una lock in the civil war and you drew in the worst possible route in fucking crayon you set
00:54:05up something cool you set up interesting characters and then right at the moment you have to pay it
00:54:09off you retcon everything and it do you want advice or am i just supposed to listen still
00:54:17not clear on that i'm sorry my dad just gets me all
00:54:27you set up interesting characters and then right at the moment you have to pay it off
00:54:31you retcon everything and it turns out they were a liar the whole time what reason does
00:54:36anyone have to trust you
00:54:45on everything and
00:54:52on everything and it turns out they were a liar the whole time what
00:54:55reason does anyone have to trust you at that point
00:55:06so
00:55:36so
00:56:07so
00:56:23what reason does anyone have to trust you at that point you'll do it again and we know you'll do it
00:56:28again the next two villains they do the same thing every interesting thread set up with them is
00:56:32abandoned in favor of the most boring ideas possible all in the name of the characters
00:56:37not having to think about things too much at
00:56:48what reason does
00:56:51what reason does anyone have to trust
00:56:55you
00:57:10what reason does anyone have to trust you at that point you'll do it again
00:57:13and we know you'll do it again the next two villains the next
00:57:25villains
00:57:32fuck epic i want cozy and soft like fuck epic i want meditative and introspective
00:57:40wait games shows and probably books uh
00:57:44for the same reason michael bay is still popular people like explosions
00:57:55so
00:58:07like here's the thing every single peak tv cartoon there's always something where there's
00:58:13always a point where people go oh man this is where the show gets good and this is always where
00:58:19that happens michael bay presents explosions
00:58:32explosions from michael bay
00:58:49yeah
00:58:55that's it that's every single fucking peak tv cartoon at the point where the fandom insists it
00:59:00got good yep i don't even dislike michael bay michael bay makes cheesy action movies for kids
00:59:15explosion go kablooey
00:59:19boom big boom make pretty
00:59:25x2 villains they do the same thing every interesting thread set up with them is
00:59:29abandoned in favor of the most boring ideas but them is abandoned in
00:59:38if i'm going down to
00:59:49you
00:59:51jesus christ mingua hit the rock so hard that it cracked and left a dent
01:00:07what was the sigh about oh no just in response to the what you were commenting on mingua
01:00:17yeah what about it just it was a bit excessive no it wasn't no it wasn't i mean like benders
01:00:27are trying to be pretty durable but i mean like her just like hitting the wall and then like when
01:00:31you next see her she's just up and fighting like nothing happened that's how every character works
01:00:36that's how every character who isn't cora works when they get hit oh okay yeah like it's not about
01:00:44like my criticisms about the gruesomeness of the violence that core gets subjected to
01:00:49isn't about like the fact that there is violence at all it's the prolonged and elongated suffering
01:00:59fair enough
01:01:06in favor of the most boring ideas possible all in the name of the characters not having to
01:01:10think about things too much at this point it's just too much
01:01:23in favor of the most boring i
01:01:29now destroy get ready go throughout history
01:01:34are witnessing to be without kings and queens without borders or nation
01:01:43boring ideas possible all in the name of the characters not having to think about things too
01:01:47much at this point it's just shit or get off the pot either stop making political stories if you're
01:01:53gonna just shown in your way out of them or go ahead and make a political story but stop being
01:01:57such a goddamn teenager about it because what we end up with is either stop making political
01:02:02stories if you're gonna just shown in your way out of them or go ahead and make a political story
01:02:06but stop being such a goddamn teenager about it because what we end up with is just considerably
01:02:10less interesting than what you've been setting up i should point out this season also introduced
01:02:14varick a skeevy war profiteer who jumps onto the side of the rebellion
01:02:32so
01:02:49hmm
01:03:02hmm
01:03:18now there's a voice in my head telling me to drop you on the train well because tony stark really
01:03:23the mcu was only a few years old robert downey jr as tony stark was really cool and so tech bro
01:03:28billionaires were really cool hell varick is literally just tony that turned unalak into a
01:03:33literal racist caricature which is actually the second time they did that break what is it with
01:03:37you and ming the merciless it's weird seeing varick be so junior as tony stark would varick
01:03:44is actually one of the most opportune i should point out this season also introduced varick
01:03:48a skeevy war profiteer
01:03:53you
01:03:56are you saying what that levitate
01:04:06season also introduced varick a skeevy war profiteer who jumps onto the side
01:04:10of the rebellion after unalak threatens his business and evie war profiteer here who
01:04:15is unalak's already booted our chieftains out of their palace how long before he starts telling
01:04:32us what kind of cookies we can eat probably a couple of days retort come up with a plan
01:04:37when i get that itchy rash that won't go away and julie's not around to scratch it this is shocking
01:04:42nay sickening
01:04:49onto the side of the rebellion after unalak threatens his business and then tries to rob
01:04:52asami's business blind for the sake of control then he starts not only
01:05:03you end up on our island triple threats yeah ain't mako you think you know who hired the
01:05:09triple threats i like to think i'm always there varick bought a controlling i go
01:05:18i think i know who set us up
01:05:32he just looks and then tries to rob asami's business blind for the sake of control then
01:05:35he starts not only making propaganda films to get the united republic to send their armies to the
01:05:39north i gotta run i don't know i need to ask busy you know rehearsing from it
01:05:53then he starts not only making propaganda films to get the united
01:05:55republic to send their armies to the north but also these weird false flag attacks to
01:06:06so
01:06:25attacks to further radicalize republic city and it all just
01:06:29failed but also these weird false flag attacks to further radicalize republic city and it all just
01:06:35fails he's ultimately caught and even when raikou
01:06:46they're both cold heartless president raikou avatar korra what's wrong to join the war on
01:06:54can't believe varick would do something like this
01:06:56is i think this is our cue to i think this is our cue to exit where do you think you're going
01:07:16ultimately caught and even when raikou believes there's a problem ultimately cotton
01:07:20blame it on the north on your hands he's one of the best i can't you really are
01:07:37to destroy the whole world even
01:07:50um
01:07:53it feels like varick was part of a problem he still won't do anything about it it feels like
01:07:57varick was part daughter is one of them raikou you must reconsider i'm aware that lives are on the
01:08:07line and that's precisely why my troops are staying here if the world is going to be thrown
01:08:12into chaos like you claim i need to protect my citizens
01:08:26and even when raikou believes there's a problem he still won't do anything about it it feels like
01:08:30varick was part of an earlier better draft where he ultimately ended up being the real villain
01:08:34before the dark avatar shit was brought in
01:08:43this stop you can't make pictures move they thank you all for coming to this project there
01:08:50were a lot of naysayers out there some knucklehead earthbender and make him a star they said
01:08:56you can't teach a polar bear dog to speak magic of the movers
01:09:01so they said you can't take some knucklehead earthbender and make him a star they said
01:09:07project there were a lot of naysayers
01:09:18it feels like varick was part of an earlier better draft where he ultimately ended up being
01:09:22the real villain before the dark avatar shit was brought in and a few seasons later he jumps right
01:09:26on board with developing a weapon of mass destruction after this sudden swerve he
01:09:29suddenly treated like a silly little boy doing a silly little

01:10:27after this sudden swerve he suddenly treated like a silly little boy doing a silly little

01:12:24we actually like in the final season he jumps at the chance to make a giant death robot the epitome
01:12:29of how unbelievably stupid this show can be when it forgets to establish the villain as a villain
01:12:33and then suddenly has a change of heart at the last minute we're expected to think kuvera

01:15:03how unbelievably stupid this show can be when julie shut it down
01:15:11things are a form of pure energy that's unstable in what we call typical earth conditions
01:15:17this machine should transfer the energy from the vine into a battery using electrical currents
01:15:22reverse magnetic polarity and a little-known phenomenon i call the very effect
01:15:33of the
01:15:34in the final season he jumps at the chance to make a giant death robot the epitome of how
01:15:38unbelievably stupid this show can be when it forgets to establish the villain as a villain
01:15:42and then suddenly has a change of heart
01:15:49as a villain and then suddenly has a change of heart at the last minute we're expected to think
01:15:54conscience sir from wrong telling me what's right from
01:16:09the last minute we're expected to think kuvera threatening to kill him is a bad thing
01:16:12now there's a voice in my head telling me to drop you on the tracks that voice is me kuvera do it
01:16:17varick is actually one of the most opportunistic duplicitous motherfuckers the series has but
01:16:21outside of a few confrontations he never gets elevated to villain status because of what he
01:16:25represents back in the mid-2010s it was common to romanticize the idea of the eccentric billionaire
01:16:30because well because tony stark really the mc
01:16:45visualize with your own two emotions
01:17:04dammit
01:17:15it was common to romanticize the idea of the eccentric billionaire because, well because
01:17:43Tony Stark really.
01:17:45The MCU was only a few years old, Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark was really cool, and so
01:17:50tech bro billionaires were really cool.
01:18:12Hell, Varick is literally just Tony Stark in boy drag, but hindsight is 2020, and we
01:18:37all know at this point Varick isn't a quirky guy doing quirky guy things, he'll probably
01:18:41try to buy the press for 40 billion yuans because it was making fun of him.
01:18:45Varick would-
01:18:56Boy drag is a statement, I love it.
01:19:05Tony Stark would have been Tony Stark in boy drag if RDJ had gotten his way.
01:19:09Well now he's Dr. Doom, so I guess he is getting his way.
01:19:46Well now he's Dr. Doom, so I guess he is getting his way.
01:20:05Well now he's Dr. Doom, so I guess he is getting his way.
01:20:22Well now he's Dr. Doom, so I guess he is getting his way.
01:20:23Well now he's Dr. Doom, so I guess he is getting his way.
01:20:45Well now he's Dr. Doom, so I guess he is getting his way.
01:21:15Well now he's Dr. Doom, so I guess he is getting his way.
01:21:44Well now he's Dr. Doom, so I guess he is getting his way.
01:21:59You know what the worst part is, Varick called it.
01:22:04He knew.
01:22:05It's like, he's going to destroy the world during a harmonic convergence, I think there's
01:22:12a scene where he goes, wait there actually is a doomsday device?
01:22:18Which is actually the second time they did that.
01:22:20Brake, what is it with you and Ming the Merciless?
01:22:22It's weird seeing Varick be so beloved by the fandom entirely off the words do the thing.
01:22:27This would be like romanticizing Esca's relationship with Bolin, outside of the adrenaline
01:22:30at the end of the world, I mean.
01:22:48This would be like romanticizing Esca's relationship with Bolin, outside of the adrenaline
01:23:15I just got this, UFWMCR et al.
01:23:31Please, please just speak English.
01:23:40It's not even a sentence.
01:24:40It's not even a sentence, it's not even a sentence, it's not even a sentence, it's
01:25:07not even a sentence, it's not even a sentence, it's not even a sentence, it's not even a
01:25:36MCR the band, it's gotta be.
01:25:40I don't know that one of us can understand them, that'll encourage them.
01:26:01The words do the thing.
01:26:03This would be like romanticizing Esca's relationship with Bolin, outside of the adrenaline
01:26:09I just got this, UFWMCR et al.
01:26:13Don't let her treat you that way.
01:26:15Bow to me when I exit.
01:26:17Or search— Boyfriend, bow to me when I exit.
01:26:19Yes, yes my sweet koala heart.
01:26:25Exercising Eska's relationship with Bolin, outside of the adrenaline of the end of the
01:26:39world, I mean.
