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!
Set for raming speed!
oh Sokka…SO SMOOVE
SOKKA/SUKI KISS YAY!
"That's a lot of fire, isn't it?" So perfectly done all around.
Dawww. That kiss…
This episode easily could have been called "Awesome People Doing Awesome Things"
AHHHH SOKKKA! <3
Kamikaze run with the airiship!
TOO MUCH FIRE D:
CRUNCH!
"If we make it that far, I'll let you know."
Well that isn't dark and foreboding or anything.
SUKI NOOOOO
I laughed so hard at about 12 comments in a row being "AIRSHIP SLICE"
WE ALL LOVE YOU, SOKKA
there is some serious love in the…chatroom?
I bet thats what Zuko is going to grow up looking like.
The earth kingdom is burning down.
And Toph can't even see the fire, she can just feel the heat.
AIRSHIPS BLOWING UP AND SUKIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!
OMG SO INTSNSE. I can barely handle this, lol.
SUKI NOOO!
CHILLS CHILLS CHILLS
OH NO SUKI!
Okay, Airship Slice is really fucking awesome.
SUKI, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
SUKI!!!!! NOOOO!!!!
Sokka/Suki/Toph is like the best team ever.
SUKI! Oh thank god.
Sokka, I approve of your bravery, but suicide missions are not the answer, and OH MY GOD SUKI!
ZUKO!
Aaaaannnnd….how many people are die in these scenes? We have the people being burned alive below on the ground, and then all the soldiers in the airships which crashed to the ground….damn. Kids' show?
My Tokka-shipping heart is exploding
Sokka protected Toph with his body ;_;
I love how Sokka grabs Toph's hand to help her around.
MY FAVORITE FIGHT!!!!!!!!!
my heart
MY HEART.
NUUUUUUUUUUUUU SUKI
AAAAAAH THIS PART IS SO TERRIFYING
SUKI MAY BE DEAD. AIRSHIPS FALL EVERYWHERE INTO THE FIRE DDD:
NOOOO SUKI
Zuko comes out of no where. Shit just got real.
"Oh hai. I forgot to bring my invitation, but I'm sure I'm on the list right?"
Appa here to crash the party!
FUCK YEAR! AGNI KAI!!!!
YEAH, INTERRUPT THAT CORONATION!
AGNI KAI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This Suki is so much cooler than Stackhouse.
The SHOWDOWN THAT WAS ALWAYS MEANT TO BEEEEEEEEE.
oh god shit is getting SO EPIC
AGNI KAI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
woohoo agni kai!
NO ZUKO DO NOT FIGHT YOUR SCARY SISTER ALONE
PREPARE YOURSELVES FOR THE LAST AGNI KAI !
Oh god, Azula Vs. Zuko. And Zuko knows Azula is losing it. Oh god.
Oh God. Favorite scene ever coming up. Also – earlier, Azula denied Zuko an agni kai. And now..oh just wait.
OH MY GOD AZULA AND ZUKO. HOLY FUCK. HOLY FUCK.
Azula v Zuko OH MY GOD SO EXCITE
THIS SCENE
ZUKO KATARA AZULA
FAVOURITE SCENE OMG
"Let;s settle this, just you and me brother, AGNI KAI"
OMGGGGGGGGGGGG
Azula in a fight in the middle of a breakdown! OMGGGG
Here we go. Zuko vs. Azula.
YESSSS
Smooth entrance, Zuko. I approve!
Agni Kai!
ZUKO: Most idiotic "I can do this alone" guy since Goku.
My favourite fight of the series!!! LET'S GO!
OH GOD THIS AGNI KAI
THIS. AGNI. KAI.
IT JUST GOT REAL IN SO MANY WAYS!!!!!!!!
Oh goodness the music in this scene is so beautiful.
Mark…this is my most memorable scene.
Azula… is off the deep end. Mai and Ty Lee's betrayal really hit deep.
Azula's wild eyes are a little bit terrifying.
I hear "She's slipping" and all I can think of is Doctor Horrible what is wrong with me
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING
You Are Not Alone.
ALL I THINK OF IS THE STEVE MILLER BAND
AZULA KEEPS ON SLIPPING SLIPPING SLIPPING
INTO THE FUTURE
Look at these people, amazing how sheep'll show up for the slaughter~
No one condemning you, lined up like lemmings, you led to the water~
(I couldn't resist, haha)
Why can't they see what I see, why can't the hear the lies~
(It's so good, that's why!)
Why can't they see what I see, why can't they hear the lies~
(It's so good, that's why!)
Maybe the fees too pricey for them to realize, your disguise is slipping… I think you're slipping~
(ohgodsomeonestopme)
There is nothing wrong with Doctor Horrible references. EVER
They are always relevant
"I'm sorry it has to end this way, brother."
"No you're not."
Music FTW.
omg omg omg THE MUSIC YOU GUYS
"I can't explain it, but she's slipping"
It's the haircut isnt it?
Azula's power's in her hair. Like Samson.
Zuko, your sister is on the brink of complete mental collapse, don't take the bait!
best music choice ever
This music……this SCEEEEEENEEE….
SHE'S HIS LITTLE SISTER, YOU GUYS ;____________;
D:
so much sadness in this family
OH GOD NOW YOU'RE MAKING ME WANT TO CRY
Interrupted coronation is WAY more interesting than the usual interrupted wedding trope. Also this bending battle = my favorite in the ENTIRE SERIES.
Awesome battle is Asesome. Been waiting for this moment for SO LONG
Even more so than the Ozai/Aang fight
Key the gorgeous Agni Kai music.
HELLO, favourite fight of the whole damn series! How I have missed you!
This animation is BEAUTIFUL!
THE MUSIC FOR THIS FIGHT. THE MUSIC.
TRACK TEAM, HAVE MY BABIES.
I KNOWWWWWWWW
HOLY ! The music during the Agni Kai…soooo gooood
Favorite scene is coming up! Azula vs Zuko. The music is just..perfection
Cue the sad, dramatic music. So heartbreaking juxtaposed with the image of brother fighting sister.
THIS IS THE BEST THING OF ALL THINGS THAT ARE A THING
"Something's off about her. I can't explain it, but she's slipping." O RLY?
The ambient music in this scene is amazing, the agni kai of agni kais.
FINAL AGNI KAI!
I never thought that Sokka was going to turn into my favorite character, but he just makes my heart feel so big….
Jeezy creezy, that agni kai is so PRETTY
AAAAAAAANG!
The music for their fight is so great. ;A;
He is firebending with his FEET.
THE FIRE AND THE MUSIC MY GOD.
"I'm sorry it has to end this way, brother."
"No, you're not."
Azula always lies. =(
The music. My favourite piece of the series.
Oh hey Mark, you remember how you asked what my favorite part is? STARTS NOW
<img src="http://i52.tinypic.com/291owsl.gif">
the animation is fucking incredible!
I saw one person describe this as "like they motion-captured a meth addict who can set you on fire."
I simply adore Azula right now. (and still hate here I am so conflicted)
Yes! Hell yes! Her final pose right there before the fight. Evil, bent, twisted, and GONE OFF THE DEEP END, all conveyed in one frame.
ME TOO
THIS FIGHT IS AMAZING
"im sorry it has to end, this way, brother."
"no, you're not."
The music is just so wonderful! Ahhhhhhh The Track Team you should score every show.
this music
i cannot handle this much awesome
it has changed my allcaps to lowercase
YOU CAN ALMOST FEEL THE HEAT FROM AZULA'S AND ZUKO'S FIGHT. I LOVE THE CLASSICAL MUSIC DURING IT.
yeah dude they had to pay for the orchestral music for the finaly seperate
SO FUCKING WORTH IT THO
I can't WAIT to see Mark's thoughts on this duel between Zuko and Azula. I've been waiting for him to get here for A VERY LONG TIME.
Music: The Last Agni Kai?
Epic, no?
These fights are just so goddamn epic!
