Mark Watches ‘Avatar’ Liveblog: Sozin’s Comet

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!

  5. liam says:

    *random, oddly specific leaves on the ground*

  6. xpanasonicyouthx says:

    ahahahaah TEAM AVATAR. OH MY GOD A CAPTAIN PLANET REFERENCE. THIS IS PERFECT.

  7. I love that Zuko gets to be a part of group hugs! It just makes me all fuzzy inside.

  8. psycicflower says:

    'Fan and Sword!'

  9. thesimplyuninspired says:

    "I know you're scared. I know you're not ready to save the world. But if you don't defeat the Fire Lord before the comet comes, there won't be a world to save anymore."

  10. Hotaru_hime says:

    WATER EARTH FIRE
    (WIND AND HEART)
    CAPTAIN PLANET!

  11. xpanasonicyouthx says:

    AHAHAHA GROUP HUGS.

  12. MeeChee says:

    FAN AND SWORD! XD

  13. Depths_of_Sea says:

    "Air, Water, Earth, Fire, Fan and Sword!"

    And many Captain Planet parodies were made that day.

  14. SuddenSnare says:

    TEAM AVATAR: AIR! WATER! EARTH! FIRE! FAN AND SWORD!

  15. WHATATWIST says:

    CAPTAINNNNNNN SOKKA!

  16. Alexander_G says:

    Sokka should narrate the opening credits

  17. FurrySaint says:

    Group hug! XD

  18. Castlejune says:

    Aang's insight: "Genocide is really really bad."
    Go Captain Planet!

  19. Patrick721 says:

    FAN AND SWORD!

  20. Kaci says:

    Being part of the group also means being a part of group hugs!

  21. tinybit92 says:

    Group hugs FTW!

  22. Narrative Priorities says:

    On Team Avatar, group hugs are MANDATORY.

  23. Depths_of_Sea says:

    GROUP HUG!

  24. sam says:

    GROUP HUGS DAWWW

  25. Brieana says:

    I'm just going to say it: Suki is a very attractive cartoon.

  26. FlameRaven says:

    JOIN THE GROUP HUG ZUKO.

  27. Amanda Violet says:

    omg Aang's voice is so deep

    • sam says:

      haha did you know that they had to digitally make his voice higher for these final episodes? in real life his voice was deeper at this point

    • Depths_of_Sea says:

      Zach Tyler Aisen hit puberty. They had actually been pitching him up a lot to match with the earlier episodes.

      They didn't have to pitch it as high for the finale episodes. 😀 Thus, Aang's voice is noticeably deeper.

      • notemily says:

        I feel like if they had kept it going deeper, that would take away some people's reservations with Katara/Aang. Because he wouldn't sound like a tiny child anymore.

        • Depths_of_Sea says:

          Nah, I think people would've still been complaining about how his bald head makes him look like an infant or his shortness in comparison to Katara or something equally stupid.

          I wouldn't have minded them letting it go a little deeper though. Because Post-Puberty Aang's voice is just wow. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9cDoAWHBrw

  28. TheMoonSheep says:

    BEING PART OF GROUP HUGS IS THE BEST PART OF BEING IN THE GROUP.

  29. Stephalopolis says:

    I love how throughout the series, especially season 3, they've been animating Aang to look older and more mature at various times

  30. monkeybutter says:

    rule over ashes…your men need food and materiel, Ozai! Now I know where Zuko gets his poor planning from.

  31. Quantum Reality says:

    LOL SOKKA.

  32. Anne says:

    GROUP HUGS

    PS IT'S ALL CAPS FROM HERE ON OUT

  33. Hotaru_hime says:

    DON'T EXCLUDE APPA FROM HUGS.

  34. Stephalopolis says:

    APPA HUG!!!

  35. thesimplyuninspired says:

    Sokka is Captain Planet! 😀

  36. psycicflower says:

    Love me some group hugs. Or any hugs for that matter.

  37. Zephyrus says:

    Group hug with everyone!

  38. chikzdigmohawkz says:

    DO NOT BLAME ZUKO FOR YOUR MISCOMMUNICATION, AANG! THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE!

    Also, Sokka calling out the skills like they're summoning Captain Planet – epic.

    P.S. Appa hugs are the best.

  39. affableevil says:

    HOW CAN APPA BE SO CUTE HE WANTS IN ON THE GROUP HUG GUYS

  40. Depths_of_Sea says:

    And Zuko's teaching Aang to redirect lightning!

  41. licoricepencil says:

    Mark, you were wondering favorite scenes? WATCH CLOSELY

  42. bookgal12 says:

    Aww, a group hug that includes Zuko <3

  43. Pelleloguin says:

  44. Zhy says:

    FAN AND SWORD!!!

    oh Sokka

    GROUP HUG YAY

  45. Stephalopolis says:

    HUGGING EVERYONE ON MWATLA!!!

  46. Christie says:

    See, I know that Fire Lord Ozai is supposed to be scary but "Supreme Ruler of Everything" is just so silly.

  47. thesimplyuninspired says:

    Yay, Zuko is part of the group hug!

    (He pretends he's put-out by this, but you just KNOW he's totally excited.)

  48. xpanasonicyouthx says:

    NO SPIRIT WATER??? OH GOD.

  49. Anna says:

    "spirit water action" *wink wink*

  50. Moon_Shadow says:

    Aaand we're reminded that Aang can actually die. Agh.

  51. shirtninjas says:

    YAY APPA AND MOMO ARE GROUP HUGGERS TOO

  52. liam says:

  54. MocataJoy says:

    Yea…I'll just do that…..
    poor Aang.

  55. TOP1862 says:

    MELON LORD.

  56. Hotaru_hime says:

    Gotta kill Ozai… no choice.

  57. MeeChee says:

    And Aang faces his own mortality 🙁

  58. Sophi says:

    Also, I feel really bad about this, but Ozai is pretty good-looking D:

    My rebellious Zutara shipper heart still goes "eee" at the "get over here for a hug :D" bit.

  59. xpanasonicyouthx says:

    AHAHAH MELON LORD.

  60. herpestidae says:

    Now I think I'm a bit ahead based on some of the comments.

    LIVEBLOGGING IS SO CONFUSING!

  61. echinodermata says:

    MELON LORD

  62. lovelyhera says:

    MELON LORD! MUAHAHAHAHHAHA!

  63. notemily says:

    "Or, in this case, the Melon Lord…"

  64. thesimplyuninspired says:

    lol, Aang's just like "ZUKO, QUIT BEING SUCH A BUZZKILL, JEEZE."

  65. FlameRaven says:

    Oops, sorry Aang, no plot device to resurrect you this time! NO PRESSURE 'KAY?

  66. Sophi says:

    MELON LORD FUCK YEAH

  67. Hotaru_hime says:

  68. TheMoonSheep says:

  75. lossthief says:

    oh god the melon lord.

    oh god Toph as the Melon Lord

    Oh God the evil laugh.

    Clearly Toph has been the real villain of the series. Ozai is just a scapegoat.

  76. Quantum Reality says:

  77. echinodermata says:

    TOPH ILUUUUUUUUUU
