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!
Something that's awesome to note is back in the episode Avatar Rokuwe hear someone say only a fully realized Avatar could bend fire into 5 streams to unlock the door. Here we see Ozai only bend 3 at any time. Aang busts out 5. FUCK YES.
Aang is so buff … and scary
Does that chopping motion look familiar?
YES IT DOES.
ALL OF THE AVATARS SPEAKING AT ONCE.
CHILLS
Aang spares Ozai! Now what?
Hello Aaang. This shows how he's not just the sum of previous avatars. He's his own person too. His own Avatar.
The ultimate price is the splash attack.
the ultimate price! Of….getting wet. Ha! I bet you hated that, because, you know, fire is the opposite of water?
MIND-BENDING, OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD.
And I love how Aang pretty much trolls Ozai when he just dumps water on him.
4 ELEMENT FATALITY…..or not
YEEEEEEEEESS!
AANG!
THE BEST PART IS COMING UP!
I CAN'T SEE IT
ONLY FOLLOWING YOUR GUYS'S COMMENTS
Here it comes…

Pretty much.
I thought he summed it up nicely.
OH GOSH, THE ARM MOVE FROM "THE AVATAR STATE" AANG WAS THIIIIIS CLOSE TO BECOMING WHAT HE MOST FEARED.
Luckily he is too AWESOME to succumb to such things.
Aang still can't kill Ozai, even in Avatar State. Aang takes his morals to a whole new level.
No no no, Ozai. You have no idea.
Aang is too good a person for you, Ozai.
EPIC JUDGMENT AANG!
YOU MUST PAY THE ULTIMATE PRICE!
TOPH SENSE FTW!
"FIRE LORD OZAI. YOU AND YOUR FOREFATHERS HAVE DEVASTATED THE BALANCE OF THIS WORLD. NOW YOU SHALL PAY THE ULTIMATE PRICE."
oh, shut up Ozai.
Looks like Toph was a good teacher
Ultimate price: mussed up hair
WHAT THE FUCK
WHAT THE FUCK

"In the era before the Avatar we bent not the elements but the energy within ourselves."
WAIT WHAT BENDING ENERGY HOW
THIS MUSIC! TOPH VISION!

But Aang takes control and realizes he doesn't want to kill Ozai!
WHAT IS GOING ON!
TOPH SENSE!! YES, SO MUCH AWESOME!!!
AND WTF LIGHT OMG!! ENERGY BENDING!!! LION TURTLE OMG!!!!! OMG!!!!!
whoa. just whoa.
Bumi's prediction came true: If Aang hadn't found somebody who listened to the earth (Toph <3), he wouldn't have been able to sense Ozai's surprise attack.
here we go here we go here we go
Exactly.
"In the era before the Avatar, we bent not the elements but the energy within ourselves."

Avatar State: Mastered. World: Saved.

We're so going to beat the number of comments AVPM's liveblog had.
Fully controlled Avatar State ftw!
Now Aang is a full Avatar ;_;
My bb's so grown up. I am so proud. So proud Aang.
Aang masters the Avatar state!
