Piandao is considered the greatest swordsman in Fire Nation history. He was the son to two firebending masters, but is not a firebender himself. Part of why he sympathizes with Sokka.

Fans theorized that the reason the Painted Lady didn't help the town herself was because the pollution weakened her

Or the belief in her had weakened because of the water, so when katara came they saw it as proof, so the painted lady was believed in and came, idk just my thoughts

nah the reason she didnt help is because that episode is badly written and they just threw shit on paper to make a filler

There is a theory that the real Painted Lady couldn’t help the village BECAUSE the river was polluted (She’s the spirit of the river).

I’ve thought that too, that the spirits react and respond to the environments that they watch over. It’s why in Book 1, Hei Bai the forest spirit was in its aggressive form when the forest was burned, and not as a panda

Toxic Katara haters always say that the painted lady proves that she sucks because she “delayed the group” (to help starving children and sick people in need) and “destroyed a factory” (it was a fire nation war-time military factory that should have been destroyed anyway). Katara is a queen and deserves some recognition for being a badass with a heart of gold. People also love to compare that episode to Zuko Alone but the context and scale of the situations are so different that it really is unfair.

Well you know whose fans are those thinking that their fav doesn't have flaws at all and too perfect...... Katara is the heart of atla without her there is no team avatar facts though😂 and moreover she's the most realistic character in atla

I never understand the favouritism with these characters. Each character stands on its own and is unique in its own way.

I think it’s important to acknowledge that not only did they drive the fire nation away they also STAYED to help clean the river.

Don't forget: Toph COULD see the meteorite because it hit the ground!

In the comics zuko trained under the same master . “His skilled sword fighting as the blue spirit “ but yeah the white lotus tile is a connection to uncle it will be revealed but they have kinda sprinkled clues already

One of my favorite things about Sokka’s Master episode is that we are almost faced with the reality that Sokka himself is still just a kid. He’s only 16 and seems SO much older than the other members of the Gaang because, well, he is. But it’s war, and it’s not like Sokka is an adult and it really wasn’t until he was next to Master Piandao (where you can see their heights and the way they stand) that we’re really hit with the reality that Sokka is also just as young as the rest of the Gaang. It’s such a poignant episode (not just for Sokka’s confidence and mastery of a new skill) because Sokka was finally able to be a kid again for a bit… not lead anyone, not make schedules, not feel like everyone else overshadows him because he’s a nonbender. I just love that episode so much.

Fun fact when Toph was performing the space rock she made the Nickelodeon logo. Uncle Iroh is doing act of Nothing waiting before stricking back similar to when Bumi was capatured in Ohmashu

The real Painted Lady couldnt step in because the water was too polluted.

I like this episode for the focus on sokka greeting the black sword and training also jacked uncle iroh was fire

Fun fact: The white lotus motif can be seen throughout Piandao's castle.

That's a wild thing to say 💀

think of the painted lady as the river spirit in spirited away. the pollution having a negative impact on her spirit and abilities

Master Piandao is designed to look like Sifu Kisu, the kung-fu consultant on Avatar. Sifu Kisu helped to choreograph this and all fight sequences.

Many Fire Nation sets were inspired by real locations in Iceland. In fact, co-creator Bryan Konietzko traveled to Iceland to scout environments. The waterfall was designed after the real life Gullfoss Waterfall.

Awesome!! Had no idea about that.

Sokka's master schedule is the real Avatar production schedule, shrunken down. And just like our gang, the Avatar production was often behind schedule.

In Sokkas Master, the kids are in the Fire Nation town of Shu Jing, which is in a secluded location, so it's rarely bothered by the Fire Nation Army.

Love to see my fav Sokka getting some love. Great to know one of you has him as a favorite too.

Battle armor Aang was inspired by an early toy design of Aang in armor.

In this episode, the writers wanted to show the negative effects of the War, and how it extends to even the Fire Nation citizens. The smelting factory was built ten years ago. The metal extracted here is used to create weapons for the Fire Nation.

Piandao gets his name from the Chinese words "pian dao", a deeply curved saber meant for slashing.

Since the painted lady is the spirit of the river, the river being so heavily polluted probably weakened her, which is why she could not step in to help herself. This is probably why she was able to come back in the end and thanked katara for her help.

I thank Sokka gets way to much hate all because he wants to stay on schedule to win the war, I understand why Katara stalled. Aang also has to find a fire bending teacher so it's not just the schedule it's the soler eclipse. He has to keep everything on track. so Sokka isn't. wrong but I do respect. What Katara did for the town but also Sokka is not in the wrong either🤣🤣🤣

Love from the UK to your channel and all your reactions! Bryce, haircut is looking fresh my dude 🫡

always excited for a new upload of this series, this season just keeps getting better

throwback to the jokes about Sokka schedule being the air date schedule for this season

Iroh getting jacked was so hype for me. I love that he got stronger and was plotting against the fire nation while in jail.

the demon slayer reference was so funny! as always, such a fun reaction. Every episode in season 3 hits different

not Bryce saying "unsheathe it, bro" 💀

I think the prison guard was a guy who used to highly respect general Iroh but from his perspective he’s a disgrace and disappointment, I can understand why he would feel that way.

Awesome reaction of my favorite episode of Avatar The Last Airbender!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊

Bryce harr 😍

The Painted Lady and the Blue Spirit have nothing in common though. Painted Lady: an actual spirit that Katara used to hide behind to help a town of the Fire Nation. Blue Spirit: A mask Zuko hid behind to save Aang so he could capture him and later steal from innocent people his nation was already exploiting. They are not the same lol

❤❤

Day 110 requesting Penny Dreadful :) One of my least favorite episodes of ATLA and one of my favorites! I can’t stand “The Painted Lady”, I skip it with every rewatch because it just feels very misplaced to me, there are other episodes that have similar messages but do it much better, and the conflict feels arbitrary considering the schedule Sokka is so uppity about never comes up again. But “Sokka’s Master” is one of my absolute favorites! I love that he finally gets to shine and show the growth of his character. I’ve always loved that this show emphasizes the abilities of non-benders as well and Sokka earned some focus on his development!

I like "The Painted Lady" episode, but agree that its placement in the overall story is weird.

Yuhhh

I dont wanna be that guy... but Zuff is right about Jet being dead 😭

Can you guys watch the finest hour based on a true story ❤

Please react to jujutsu kaisen season 2😢

The real Painted Lady is a Water Spirit.
