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!
I spy an Ozai.
Ozai used Blast Burn! Earth Kingdom is not amused.
Big battles are always time for Momo to go.
The mirror scene. One of the most haunting pieces in all of animation.
Also; anyone else reminded of Lady Macbeth?
SO MUCH FIRE
OZAI TAKE THE WHEEL
OH WAIT HE ALREADY HAS IT AND IS USING IT FOR EVIL
Oh, hello there rock formations from the intro
Not cool Ozi.
Where's Hei Bai when you need him?
Can't talk… action scene. brb
Oh…
Oh wow… That's… That's a whole lot of fire…
Every time I watch that Azula's breakdown scene I can't help but think, "I thought killing people would make them like me. But it doesn't. It just makes people dead."
YEAH AANG, TAKE DOWN THAT AIRSHIP!
music here is tripping me out!
EPIC FLAAAAAAAAAAMES. O_O
The trees! The animals! D:
BURN THEM ALL.
Aang: Momo, it's time for you to go.
Momo: Ok, byyyyyyyyyyyyye
Ozai is too sexy for his ceremonial Phoenix King robes?
The robes were not sexy enough for him.
Fuck, yeah, he is. REWIND.
The final confrontation. It begins.
Oh heavens, waterfall of fire! Birds flying everywhere! AAAAAAANG.
"Momo, time for you to go."
Excuse me I must take off my shirt right now.
EPIC SCENE
OZAI CAN FLY TOO AGH
THIS IS THE GREATEST THING EVER I CAN HARDLY BREATHE
Jaws music ftw!
That's right Ozai, face the Avatar your grandfather feared so much!
this music is so chilling.
THIS MUSIC MAKES EVERYTHING THAT MUCH MORE TERRIFYING
OZAI IS SO HORRIBLE AND EVIL BUT GOODNESS HE IS ALSO SUPER YUMMY
YOU SPEAK TRUTH.
OH GOD THIS MUSIC IS SO CREEPY/AWESOME
WHY DID OZAI TAKE OFF HIS SHIRT
Oh wait. Time to strip.
AGNI KAI! TIME TO GET NEKKID.
Well, I have to go nowish.
Someone's been working out~
Ozai took off his clothes… except his pants. Because everyone knows you need pants to win a fight.
But pants are an illusion (and so is death)!
Why does Ozai need to be shirtless for this?
It's an Agni Kai as far as he's concerned.
Why doesn't he?
His shirt confines all of his power. It needs to be ~set free~.
My favorite thing about it is that he doesn't just need to be shirtless: That isn't dramatic enough.
No, Ozai needs to INCINERATE his clothes as he throws them away. lulz.
Dun Dun Dun chords in the background, SHIT IS ABOUT TO GET REAL AND NO ONE IS PREPARED!
And here. We. Go!
Even though you are VERY SCARY Mr. Ozai, YOU ARE STILL A DILF!
Aang's back and ready for some serious business! Look at his serious business face!
I see Azula learned her human rocket technique from her dad.
So the first time I watched this, I literally could not stop steaming Aang's name.
This is so intense!!
I love how Ozai just rips his shirt off!
Like GOTTA FIGHT A 12 YEAR OLD LET'S RIP OFF MY SHIRT
PHOENIX KING: ACE A-BURNEY
Fanservice in 3…2…1…
Thank god, Ozai is so much more tolerable without a shirt on
*screaming.
I love that Aang gives him a chance. One last chance. Even though Aang must know that he'll never take it.
And, Ozai…I'm gonna go way out on a limb and say this was not providence.
OH GOSH I LOVE THIS MUSIC
Aang VS Ozai!
(At least they're wearing pants this time.)
I like how they're wearing ONLY pants this time.
aang…
you're so sweet
Ozai Aang showdown time *flails*
Good try, Aang, but no. ):There is no reasoning with a man who is set on genocide.
Omg Mark Hamill's voice acting…
I AM SERIOUSLY SO GLAD YOU'RE ENJOYING YOURSELF <3 <3 <3 3
Long hair's kinda impractical for a fire bender. Use a schrunchi!
And now, we get one of the most intense fights of all time. Prepare yourselves.
Lol Jk there's no actual way to be prepared.
Also Aang, THAT is roaring like an amadillo-lion.
Shirtless Ozai: bringing sexyevil back.
ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOAR!!!
THIS IS AMAZING.
Only three points of fire? Roku could do five!
Airship slice!
EARTH FLIP WOOT
Ozai , why are you so bend on killing a twelve year old child! It's not nice!
Neither is scarring your thirteen year old son! That's…kind of worse!
A comet and some firebending=all the power in the world?
AIRSHIP SLICE!
YEAAAAAH AANG! GO! AIRBENDING SLICE!
AIRSHIP SLICE!!!
Ozai. HE'S GOT THE POWAH.
Captain Boomerang!!!!

'Airbending slice!' ::later:: 'Airship slice!'
Also, Captain Boomerang – so true.

That is one fucked up tigerdillo roar.
Mark Hammil, you are a badass. You make potentially corny sounding phrases legitimately scary.
Airbending slice!
Captian boomerang!
Airship slice!
Bless this show. Bless these names.
Oh, God, epic battle scene. NOT PREPARED.
Return of the AIRBENDING SLICE!

oh my god the music for this finale is PERFECTION.
It is!
OMG, THE TREES YOU GUYS, THE TREES
is this the same place from when they first met sparky-sparky-boom man?
Toph can FEEL THE HEAT OF THE FIRE FROM THERE OH GOSH.
Oh goodness I am having so much trouble focusing on this episode because I am enjoying everyone's comments so much. ALL MY LOVE.
I love that they include the detail that Toph can FEEL the fire
STOP SETTING SHIT ON FIRE D:<
Yes, Toph, it is a LOT of fire, and I am scared!
This music gives me chills, every time I watch.
SO INTENSE
THIS MUSIC
FIRE EVERYWHERE
AIRSHIPS
TOPH CAN'T SEE
AGGGGGGGGGGGGGGH
Guys, there were still people trapped behind the metal on the bridge of that Airship…
Sokka and Suki aren't nearly as concerned about killing people as Aang is.
Possibly not. when they dropped the crew out of the hold they also dropped some people from near the front. Not sure where the control is but this might be them.
AIRSHIP SLICE!
SUKI !!!!!!
