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!
YEAH AANG, YOU TOOK OZAI DOWN WITHOUT KILLING HIM!!
My heart. For serious, this never gets less epic.
WAHOO It's the awesome Avatar state music and I love it!
the musiiiiiiiiic
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSS AANG HAS MASTERED THE AVATAR STATE KEEP ROCKIN' KID
What an absolutely perfect an poetic punishment for someone like Ozai.
The music! This scene. Also, crying now. BWAAAAAAAA.
MOMO I LOVE YOU
Aang, you did it…you finally mastered the Avatar State… I'm so proud of you :')
I'M TEARBENDING!!!!
Aang, I love you. So much. I wish you were my badass little brother.
MOMO IS BACK, THAT MEANS THE WORLD IS SAVED!
MOMO
~Healing the world~
Damn. A fully realized Avatar is scary powerful.
And Sokka speaks for Mark right now. So say we all, Sokka.
And now he really is the Avatar – he's mastered it and enters the Avatar State in full control
He found his own path.
Oh, Sokka's sound effects. So amazing.
Momo was off stopping the fire nations entire land army btw
Yay, Aang's in complete control of his Avatar powers!
Ozai: I'm still alive.
Perfect recap, Sokka.
Our thoughts exactly, Sokka.
SOKKA ILU
LOOOL SUKI
The loser lord oh god all the laughter
A GIANT LION TURTLE. omg bless this show.
SOKKA. NEVER CHANGE.
THIS MUSIC OH MY GOD ! Why does this perfect thing have to be over ?
brb tearbending
DROOLY OZAI FACE LOL FOREVER
Aang used Energybending!
It's super effective!!
Aang defeated Phoenix King Ozai!!!
LEAVE THE NICKNAMES TO US HONEY
AANG! THE LIGHT OMG!! HE TOOK AWAY HIS BENDING!!
AND AANG ENDING THE FIGHT LIKE A BOSS/FULLY REALIZED AVATAR!! So awesome
He was all like POW POW POW POW and the Firelord was all like HKJAHAKJH
And LOL at Loser Lord and Phoenix King of Getting his Butt Whooped. And I liked Suki's awkward "King of the guys who don't win?" Not everyone's as nickname expert as Toph and Sokka.
Sogood <3 <3 <3
well, look at you buster!
HE CALLS OZAI BUSTER.
PHOENIX KING OF GETTING HIS BUTT WHUPPED
Oh, Sokka. Perfect note of comic relief after the BAMFING EPIC.
Ozai looks sad. I want to brush his hair.
OH SOKKA OH TOPH ILU
loser lord. well done Sokka
And losing your bending power has got to be one of the most devastating things that can ever happen to a bender. It's losing something that is just so intrinsic to oneself.
Also, Sokka & Toph – please stop trolling Ozai. It's bad form to gloat.
I LOVE MAIKO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Wow. Who taught you that!?"
"A giant talking lion turtle."
"You have the weirdest adventures when you disappear."
sorry Suki
MAI!!!
MOMO'S BACK! Everything is good!
"The Loser Lord" haha. This scene just enforces my Toph/Suki/Sokka shipping, incidentally.
I think the worst punishment is being teased by a bunch of kids.
king of the… guys… who… don't win?
Zuko and Mai are back together! <3
Suki can't joke. Such a dork.
Oh, yeah, Aang is so epic!
As is Sokka and Toph's insulting name. Suki gets points for effort.
"I'm still alive"
*awkward*
Ugh. Ozai is just so pitiful.
Toph!!! ogbaguoba'bgoa'bvjo'sbbagp
ivaw
b
MAI!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH MY GOD OH MY GOD.
"Yeah, king of the…guys who…don't win?"
"…Leave the nicknames to us, honey."
MAAAAAAAAAAAAIIII *__________* <3 <3 <3 <3
Awww. Smiley Zuko.
Mai! YAY!
MAI!
Mai!!!
"Don't ever break up with me again."
MAIIII! IS OKAYYYY
Mai's back! MAI'S BACK! 😀
Zuko: WHAT IS THIS MESMERIZINGLY SEXY VOICE?
Mai!
MAI 😀
Mai! Yay Mai!
maiko <3 why is it so cute????
And now, Ozai is reduced to being the butt of everyone's jokes.
MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAI!
Lesser known side-effects of having your bending taken are: extreme fatigue, vanishing honor syndrome, and erectile dysfunction.
MAAAAAIIIIIIIIII <3
BUT DON'T EVER BREAK UP WITH ME AGAIN
AWWWW. MAI AND ZUKO 4 EVER!
Zuko's eye during that scene always cracks me up.
And that final grin. XD
ZUKO AND MAI dsgfbjsgerlibjsyreibhs THEY ARE THE BEST
DED FROM THE CUTE
MAI 4EVER HATERS GONNA FUCKING HATE SHE'S FANTASTIC
"You need some help with that?"
IT'S MAI IT'S MAI GUYS IT'S MAI <33333
MAI'S ALL RIGHT YAY! Back to her old self, but cheerfuller.
Oh, what happened at the capital? Oh, the prince and princess fought again. Damn, seriously, we should invest in fireproof roofing.
It's gone up from "not hating" to "kind of liking". Progress!
MAI'S BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
'And it doesn't hurt that my boyfriend is the new Firelord…but don't ever break up with me again.'
OMG THEY ARE SO OTP I LOVE THEM.
THE DUKE HUGGING TOPH AWWWWWWWW
Toph is the queen of nicknames. Just sayin'
Maiko! <3
OH MAI <3
I really love this scene with Mai and Zuko, except the animation quality takes such a dip. Sadness forever.
Mai's back!!!
Awwwww!!
"But don't ever break up with me again."
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Mai! I love her!
"Don't even break up with me again!"
Listen to Mai Zuko.
Duke/Toph hug, made of cute.
Awww, Maiko, awwwww. 🙂
Aw, Mai and Zuko snuggle.
