*Incoherent Fangirl Squealing*
Okay… like no one was on AIM for me to spam comments about the awesomeness of Avatar finale… so I’ll just lj it… because I feel like I could talk about it for hours and then watch it again.
Okay… first… Ember Island Players….. like one of my favorite episodes of the whole show. I laughed so hard all episode long…. I mean I had to watch it a second time because I missed half of the jokes from laughing too hard. It just fucking killed me. But I am a total whore for satirical work… especially when it’s satirical comedy. I mean it was a great summary of all that happened…. and at the same time made fun of everything to do with the show…. and it was so believable on top of it… because any time plays and stories are made out of real events… that is exactly what happens…. everything is both so perfectly captured and yet so not right. And all of the character’s reactions to their portrayals were just so priceless. Just loved it.
Then waiting two days for the finale….. and a little worried… I thought it was going to be amazing…. but was worried I was gonna get too hyped….. yeah… no way for that to happen…. it was just so awesome.
First off… Azula. I was totally unprepared. I never thought she’d lose it. I mean… you look back…. you look back to the betrayal of the only friends she had… and then her kinda crazy no explanation assault on Zuko at the air temple and you can kinda see that she’s a little off…. no plans, no thinking. I mean she just brought airships and made explosions….. not quite the usual Azula strategy. But I just never saw her going so completely unhinged….. seeing betrayal everywhere, firing her entire staff, rejecting everyone…. thinking even her father might betray her. Just oh shit. The hair cutting got to me. I mean… she was ready to go all Agni Kai with her fucking hair. And then the fight with Zuko and she was just gone… and getting all tied up and just rampaging against the restraints… it was an amazing portrayal and I really never saw it coming… I thought she’d stay stable.
Then.. the fight scenes….. they were just amazing… so beautiful. The fight between Azula and Zuko just took my breath away. I got caught just staring at all the pretty fire…. mesmerized….. it was so beautiful and so awesome. Plus Zuko taking a matching scar to Aang except on the fornt because Katara’s standing on the sideline like a defenseless nub. Seriously Katrara…. what were you thinking.
And the firebending… I mean….. just streams of fire destroying the land… it was so horribly mesmorizng… I mean I hadn’t quite envisioned what they were going to do with the comet…. but I was not prepared for just flying over the land setting it ablaze with streams of fire…. it was so amazing and horrible.
I’ll insert my fangirlness here… I was routing for Zuko and Mai…. they were the most adorable couple... and I was happy to see them together. I was really hoping against Aang and Katara….. I was a little disappointed by that.
Also… I so wanted Iroh awesomeness and he was all….. I burn down a flag… YAY ME! Though he did have some awesome fireball to start the battle.
The fight between Aang and the Fatherlord….. was pretty awesome….. both pre-Avatar State and in Avatar State. I was really hoping Aang would bite the bullet and just fucking kill Ozai. I mean… it was such a great moment for Avatar sacrificing his own self to the duties of his role… as all before him did… but he all pussied out. I figured it was going to be something like removing his firebending…. had no idea how he was gonna do it….. but figured it would have to end with something like that.
Also…. fucking AirShip Slice…… it was just so awesome… I was so happy. Sokka’s an awesome mad genius…. and he lost his sword and was so cute in his waving bye to it….. Bye Space Sword.
And lastly… the scene where Zuko faced his uncle…. Oh God…. I cried. It was just so beautifully done… I totally cried for a couple of seconds. I mean… Zuko’s voice was so broken and sad… it just fucking killed me.
So yeah.. I watched it without commercials on Nick Toons…. which was cool. But I had to watch it in the living room with my parents asleep right above me with an open door because they won’t fucking close it or the cats get all pissed. So all show long I was silent screaming like a fangirl. It was just such a great ending to the show…. filled with awesomeness and ending the show on a great note…. though I fucking want to know where Zuko’s mom is. That was always one of the storylines I wanted followed.
I’m just so happy I watched this show…. definitely one of my favorites of all time and something I would absolutely recommend to anyone. It was just so great from beginning to end.
