OH GOD IT HAS FINALLY ARRIVED. In celebration of reaching the final episode of Avatar: The Last Airbender, let’s all have a giant party and watch all four parts of “Sozin’s Comet” at the same time. The Avatar liveblog WILL SURELY BE THE BEST PARTY YOU ATTEND ON THE INTERNET THIS MONTH.
I am legit sad this is ending. 🙁
(I know I am using images from the Invasion of the Black Sun, but that’s because I refuse to Google image search this episode. NO SPOILERS.)
The Avatar series finale liveblog will occur at 11:00am PDT on July 9th, 2011. Please consult a world clock to learn what time this is relative to you!
If this is your very first liveblog on Mark Watches, the rules are very simple. At precisely 11:ooam PDT, start your DVD/Netflix/other means copy of “Sozin’s Comet.” Use the comments as your own personal space to comment the hell out of the episode. Think of it as an online chat room of sorts! Except we are all unified in MIND-BLOWING AWESOMENESS.
ABOUT SYNCHING ISSUES: Only Netflix skips all three of the intros/’Previously On…’ segments. So in order to stay in sync, the lovely Echinodermata gave this simple way for us to keep on track!
We will be synching with the WHITE TITLE CARDS for this. So, at 11am, we’ll all press play from THIS screen, though obviously with the right card:
Given that each part is about 25 minutes long, here’s the schedule. At the time listed, we will press play from the white title card denoting that chapter, skipping the opening credits if you are not watching via Netflix:
Chapter 1: 11:00am PDT
Chapter 2: 11:30am PDT
Chapter 3: 12:00pm PDT
Chapter 4: 12:30pm PDT
This will allow 4-5 minutes of episode switching, potty breaks, tea gatherings, and foraging of potato babies.
I will post a review of the series finale on Monday, July 11th at my normal time. And then stuff will happen. You’ll see. For now, that’s the set schedule. (PS: I’ll post the details for the A Very Potter Sequel liveblog tomorrow morning. That takes place at the same time this upcoming Sunday!)
Happy watching! Can’t wait to party with all of you!
TOPH IS IRON MAN. THIS EXPLAINS EVERYTHING!
No.
OH MY GOD TOPH
YOU ARE THE BEST BENDER OF ALL BENDERS
Toph in metal suit= awesome!
Will you marry me, Toph?
Toph and her epic metalbending. But wouldn't it be really hot to have fire blasted at you while surrounded by metal? o_O
Important point: There are now people trapped on the bridge. Remember that later on.
God I love Toph. Can't say it enough.
'Let the blind girl steer the airship!'
'I was talking to Suki.'
'Oh.'
"Let the blind girl steer the giant air ship"
NEVER CHANGE TOPH
Let the blind girl fly the giant airship!
Toph is the biggest badass ever!
HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAA I LOVE THIS.
Oh no this part…
LET THE BLIND GIRL STEER!
Yessss, Sokka's ideas.
OH SOKKA <3<3<3
Most badass thing ever. Take the wheel Toph!
AAAAND MY FAVORITE SCENE
So… do you know whose birthday its?
I CAN'T BELIEVE THE CAPTAIN REMEMBERED MY BIRTHDAY! HE REALLY DOES CARE!
*whoosh*
LOL THE BIRTHDAY THING I FORGOT
"That would make a lot more sense…"
Then why did you say that towards Toph?
"And THAT'S how it's done."
o/ TOPH, SOKKA and SUKI. WIN. 🙂
Yea….Big Airship, you know?
LOL THIS SCENE IS SO AWKWARD IT IS AMAZING.
I can't believe the captain remembered my birthday! He really does care!
AND IT'S ACTUALLY SOMEONE'S BIRTHDAY. LOL FOREVER.
Birthday party of deception! Go Sokka!
that plan is just so… Sokka
(aka brilliant and hilarious)
I like Sokka's little birthday announcement.
IT'S SOKKAS' WANG FIRE VOICE!!!!
I love this scene. It is so great!
What?
'We have a very special birthday to celebrate.' Best ruse ever.
Sokka, ILU. 'We have a very special birthday to celebrate.'
Awkward introductions – amazing.
love these random dudes talking
Voiced by Mike and Bryan.
Seriously? THAT IS SO EPIC.
They are voiced by Mike and Bryan!
They were voiced by Mike and Bryan.
LOL double ninja'd.
I CAN'T BELIEVE THE CAPTAIN REMEMBERED MY BIRTHDAY!
HE REALLY DOES CARE!
Are you my mummy?
Sokka channeling the spirit of Wang Fire.
Happy Birthday Fire Nation Soldier #3!
Wang Fire voice!
TOPH IS PRETTY MUCH IRON MAN.
"That's a great idea, let the blind girl steer the giant airship
I LOVE THE BLIND JOKES
ATTENRION CREW THIS IS YOUR CAPTAIN SPEAKING!!
OMG BEST WAY TO GET RID OF THE CREW
I love you Sokka <3
"I CANT BELIEVE THE CAPTAIN REMEMBERED MY BIRTHDAY"
it was someone's birthday LOL
ENDLESS LOLS
"I can't believe the captain remembered my birthday! He really does care!" LOLING FOREVER
Still showing the Fire Nation aren't pure evil, even in the finale. Good on you.
"I can't believe the captain remembered my birthday!"
Omg Sokka baddas.
oh my god Fire Nation small talk
this is perfect.
One of my favorite scenes in the whole show.
I like how everyone's "favorite scene" choices from the finale seemed to be the Iroh and Zuko reunion, and yours is this
ahahaha
Iroh and Zuko makes me cry but I LOVE THE FUNNY, what can I say
It's like the writers where like: "Just fyi these are real humans, not evil one-dimensional people."
Voiced by Mike and Bryan, FYI.
Happy Birthday! 😀
Dude, my browser just froze, and when I got back there was a 500 error page. WE ARE INTERNET-BENDERS OF GREAT POWER YOU GUYS.
"I CAN'T BELIEVE THE CAPTAIN REMEMBER MY BIRTHDAY!!!"
…
I CAN'T BELIEVE THE CAPTAIN REMEMBERED MY BIRTHDAY
LOL AWWW THESE DUDES
Happy Birthday random Fire Nation guy…hope you like swimming, cos' thats your gift.
LOL, awkward airship smalltalk FTW
oh gawd- I'D FORGOTTEN THAT GUYS BIRTHDAY!!! XD
"Happy birthday"
OMG I love this show!!!
Let's get dangerous with Sokka!
I'd be throwing that guy a birthday party after I was crowned Fire Lord because they just RUINED HIS BIRTHDAY! ): he was only doing his job.
Poor birthday guy.
"Just like Mai and Ty Lee did…"
how do they know how to control that airship?
HERE WE COME.
Even the fire nation has awkward office parties. . . In the middle of an invasion.
It's amazing they still float with all that heavy armor.
…Oh right, kid's show.
I know, right?
They're in the middle of the ocean. Those soldiers are totally dead. :/
I like the elderly twins.
Getting dumped into the sea on your birthday: sometimes it happens. But what happened to the cake????
Trust issues. Azula has them
"…Happy birthday,"
brb, DYING
AhHA. Mai and Ty Lee got to her AFTER ALL. Betrayed much, Azula???
"I can't believe the captain remembered my birthday!"
That may have been the best scene EVER.
(btw WTF is going on with Azula???)
"…Happy birthday."
Just like Mai and Ty Lee did 🙁
I'd feel bad if it wasn't, you know, Azula.
Lo and Li I love you.
"But… I'm Li, so who's banished?"
Oh man, Azula, why are you banishing EVERYONE.
The Imperial Firebenders, too? They sound important. XD
Azula you are really destabilizing.
Oh dear. That's a new look for her. Mai and Ty Lee were her only friends…
Mike and Bryan were apparently skeptical about the scene between the two soldiers, and only agreed to it when they decided to voice them themselves. Amazing
"I can't believe the captain remembered my birthday! He really DOES care!"
AAAUGH
"…Happy birthday."
NEVER NOT FUNNY.
"Sooner or later, they all would have betrayed me. Just like Mai and Ty Lee."
Ohhhhhh. Some cuts go deep, eh?
"We have a very special birthday to celebrate"
…
"I can't believe the captain remembered my birthday, he really does care!"
<Floor opens up>
Well, you can't say you weren't surprised xD
Wow, Azula is sinking to a new low.
She really is. I almost pity her.
AZULA'S MUSIC IS SO SCARY OMG OMG OMG
Li, you're out.
hehehehe. I do enjoy Lo and Lei.
ORDER OF THE WHITE LOTUS HELL YEAH.
So, I love the parallel here between Zuko and Azula. At the beginning of season two, Zuko has everything he wanted–and it's not what he wanted after all. At the end of season two, Azula has everything SHE wanted–and she can't handle it. Look I hardly ever think of parallels like this on my own so let me have my ~moment of triumph~
NICE!
Somehow hilarious and deeply chilling at the same time.
Azula's animation is amaaaaazing. I just want to watch her parts on repeat forever.
Hahaha Azula banishes EVERYONE
'I order you to fight an Agni Kai!'
'But, we're not firebenders!'
EEEEEEPPPPPPPPPPPPPPIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC!
AND IROH STRIKES THE FIRST BLOW.
There you go Ozai, raise a daughter to be obsessed with perfection and control and she'll have a breakdown the moment she loses them. You are officially the cruelest person ever, not to mention the genocide.
I love Bumi's voice.
I ORDER YOU TO FIGHT AN AGNI KAI
BUT I'M LI SO WHO'S BANISHED
LOLs in such an otherwise serious scene
IROH BREATHING FIRE SO BADASS!! OMGGGG
My god… I love twins. Can someone bless me with twins. PLEASE!
"But…we're not firebenders!"
LIES.
AWWW YEAH THE WHITE LOTUS IS ABOUT TO KICK SOME ASS
I adore Azula ESPECIALLY when she's an out of control dictator.
