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!
Awww Toph. You're awesome already, you don't need a life-changing field trip with Zuko.
Get out of the bison's mouth Sokka!
HAHAHAHAHAAHAH OMG SOKKA I LOVE YOU.
APPA ATE MOMO!
And Toph totally talks about how everyone else got to go on a 'life-changing trip with Zuko.'
Which ends up being the worst field trip ever… 🙁
APPA ATE MOMO ! I LOVE YOU SOKKA!
LOL Sokka has always thought that Appa would eat Momo.
and appa's gonna eat you too if you dont stop accusing him.
APPA ATE MOMO
Man, Zuko is NOT one to chide someone else's angst.
background humour is my favourite kind of humour.
APPA IS AN HERBIVORE SOKKA
ALL AIRBENDERS ARE HERBIVORES
EVEN SKY BISON
"Get out of the bison's mouth, Sokka."
Zuko sounds so blase. Like this happens every other day.
APPA. ATE. MOMO!
GET OUT OF THE BISON'S MOUTH SOKKA.
Am I the only one who finds it funny that Sokka calls Momo "buddy" when in their very first meeting he wanted to eat him?
LOL Sokka all covered in slime….Appa doesn't really even spit him out. He just…oozes.
This is probably one my favorite bits of silly Sokka animation in the entire series.
Just oooooooooooze on out there, buddy.
"Get out of the bison's mouth." Words I never thought Zuko would say.
Actually, I've been expecting Appa to eat Momo as well, Sokka.
ha toph is so observant for a blind person. she notices aang and momo's absence.
also, sokka. get out of the bison's mouth.
aww poor toph
Azula is ms. grumpyface
"You are kind of the expert on tracking Aang!" ahahaha.
OMG SOKKA IN A BLOB OF SPIT.
Oh Hai Ozai.
Yes, I do feel bad for that pun.
"Get out of the Bison's mouth!"
Get out of the Bithons mouth Thokka.
Zuko is now the unofficial leader of team Avatar.
LOVE BACKGROUND SOKKA IN THAT SCENE
LOVE BACKGROUND SOKKA IN EVERY SCENE
'Appa ate Momo!'
APPA WOULD NEVER EAT MOMO! THEIR LOVE IS TOO STRONG!
hahahahahaha I love when Sokka slides out of Appa's mouth.
I'd be surprised if it didn't happen regularly.
Aww yeah, Zuko leads the party!
Poor Azula carriers!
"Get out of the bison's mouth, Sokka."
MARK UR SO UNPREPARED
Lol, everyone turns to Zuko. Aww, bb's all grown up.
My thoughts. You have them.
Well, they have a fair point about Zuko tracking Aang.
lol Zuko's obsession is finally useful!
OMG THIS MUSIC THIS MUSIC!
Azula seems a bit… cranky.
Ooooh, palanquins!!
When I tracked Aang before, I used Azugle Maps! But right now, the system is down!
Azugle Maps:
1. "Well, your destination sounds really shallow and insipid. Let's try…RECALCULATING. You fool!How dare you disobey me?!"
2."Turn right at the next light, or I will direct you into a volcano, running over as many of your friends and relatives as possible along the way."
3. "This next turn is so sharp it could pierce the hull of a fire navy battle cruiser, leaving thousands to drown in icy waters."
4. "Does the road control your route? Will the road hesitate to send you over a cliff? Maybe you should worry less about the road, and more about me since I'm still making up my mind."
5. "Together, we will find the fastest route in the entire world! It will dominate all other routes!"
6. "You are an utterly incompetent driver whom should have been strangled at birth instead of burdening the rest of us with your indecision and lack of direction"
best comment.
This. Is. Win.
They have a point Zuko, you DID spend 2 seasons looking for him.
"Get out of the bison's mouth, Sokka." Best out of context line of the series?
Toph should have had a better fieldtrip with Zuko.
I love it when Appa spits out Sokka.
AZULA POUT
Oh dear, Azula…
Azula is falling apart…wow
oh my gosh- Zuko's blush when Toph grabs him! =D
GET OUT OF THE BISON'S MOUTH SOKKA
Zuko: Avatar Hunter Extraordinaire
Poor Zuko, always being reminded of the old days…
Oh, Azula, you are so goddamn childish sometimes.
what the hell. Azula is being left behind?????
Good palanquin bearers are SO hard to come by these days…
Poor Azula… All that calculating and it's your father that ruins your plans. You Failed.
Azula as the Fire Lord. We are all doomed.
"But… I thought we were going to do this together."
Aw, Azula, you're destabilizing.
This scene with Azula actually makes me feel for her for the first time in the series. Ozai uses her in the same way he uses everyone and it's heartbreaking.
"You can't treat me like Zuko" =(
Azula's "WAT?" makes me laugh every time. SUCH AN INAPPROPRIATE MOMENT TO LAUGH.
Grey DeLisle is so amazing.
Azula, you ALWAYS want to burn everything to the ground. No one is impressed anymore.
really azula? aren't you a little old for temper tantrums?
OZAI WAS THE ONE PERSON AZULA LOOKED UP TO AND NOW SHE FEEL BETRAYED 🙁 🙁 I LIKE AZULA AND FEEL SORRY FOR HER OKAY?
ME TOO. 🙁
"You can't treat me like Zuko!"
Azula is on the brink of a complete breakdown, and I am worried!
daddy daughter genocide day is off?
such creepy music.
"You can't do this! You can't treat me like Zuko!"
Oh, Azula 🙁
Phoenix king Ozai. goddamn that is one pimpin outfit
FIRE LORD AZULA. HOLY FUCKING SHIT. HOLY SHIT.
Fire Lord Azula ?!?!? PHOENIX KING ?!!? Not good…not good.
WHY ARE YOU CANCELLING OUR FATHER-DAUGHTER BONDING TRIP DADDY ;A;
AZULA IS FIRELORD!
"You can't treat me like this – you can't treat me like ZUKO!"
I find that so telling holy hell
The phoenix carpet looks like the Chinese symbol for fire.
Poor Azula. You really see how fragile she is here. She's only 14 after all. ):
Headband music!
….Dad…..your new outfit is stupid. I mean, I'm family. If I don't tell you, who will?
SHE'S FIRE LORD, BUT ONLY BECAUSE OZAI IS A JACKASS AND PROMOTED HIMSELF – THE TITLE "FIRE LORD" MEANS NOTHING, REALLY
(poor Azula)
haha! Azula can't be with dady
Wait, that's worse
Wait, that's A LOT WORSE!! Seriously Ozai, ego much?
Annnnnd Ozai just cast aside Azula. Uh-oh.
Ridiculous headdresses is ridiculous.
Ozai- The master manipulator. Azula learned from the best, but Ozai is still supreme.
AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WHAT THE FUCK
PHOENIX KING. CRAP. CRAPCRAPCRAPCRAP.
Azula has just been made firelord. And her Dad us the phoenix king, All hope is gone 🙁
DUN DUN DUN DUUUUUUN
"Dad, is that what you were secretly working on for so long? That's so STUPID. Did you think that was hip and cool?"
Oh, Azula. Ozai's treating her like some politician he wants out of the way so he sticks her with what's essentially a desk job.
THE PHOENIX KING
really Ozai
Poor guys waiting with the banners "Now?" "No, wait – he has to say 'Phoenix King' first!"
Oh, Azula, sweetie, something is so clearly not right 🙁
fwaohfdoawfhwpfhpfhfhw PHOENIX KING JESUS CHRIST\
(though that helmet is pretty snazzy, my man)
It is kinda sad how easily Ozai manipulates Azula. You can see where she inherited her tendencies.
JUN HELL YES.
azula straight up frightens me. more than ozai.
Bring your daughter to work day has been canceled.
But… But… Pheonixes are the symbol for the Light side, not the Dark 🙁
Light is not good.
ONLY BAD FEELINGS FROM OZAI
