Zuko is such a complex character, you can see throughout the show the kind of person he is and see how he's a complex antagonist and struggles with his morals, it's even present in the earliest episodes but I feel it get more focused on in this season.

It's so great. From the start, Zuko wants to be a good person; that never changes. What he struggles with is defining what a "good person" even means.

I love it when reactors finally figure out where Secret Tunnel came from. It’s the best!

Omashu taken over is like the first time we actually see the fire nation progressing in the war since Aang got out of the iceberg in episode 1. Its confirmation that, yes, they are winning. Aang and his friends can only have their crazy adventures one place at a time after all.

"Nobody react to what I'm about to tell you....I think that kid might be the Avatar!" might just be the most underrated joke in the show

The change in art style for Oma and Shu's legend is a hallmark example of what makes this series great. This is considered a lesser episode (And I still think it's very strong personally) and so, they didn't need to put as much effort into a side story as much as they did. And yet it's just the animators cracking their knuckles beautifully.

Well, if you're thinking about the show adding different art styles in lesser episodes, The Great Divide is a prime example. Probably the best part about that whole episode.

I like how the show runners tell you the history of Omashu just to reveal that it's been taken over by the Fire Nation... Quality world building that still moves the story forward👌

I LOVE the nomads. Maybe the best one-off characters in the whole series.

Ah they are finding the meme origins.

Totally agreed with you all about Suko´s part. This could be literally the very first time that he sees the common people´s perspective in how they are living through the war. First time I saw that I was like "Oh man, Suko finally gonna learn the other side´s situation? really hope so".

For how mostly upbeat the gang's story is, Zuko's side is actually pretty rough, like the scene where the young woman shares her scar with Zuko gets me. Like just such a visceral reminder of the personal scars the victims of the conflict carry, after being driven from their homes.

And the look on his face when she does. You can tell he's never spoken to someone on the other side who's been hurt like that. Just a civilian too; he may have thought up until then that the Fire Nation only harmed enemy soldiers. Propaganda is a hell of a drug.

there are so many great moments in this show. but the thing that will never get old for me is seeing people's reactions to FINALLY knowing what the hell "SECRET TUNNEL" is

I just find it really weird to ship these people at all tbh. The "main" romance in this show is its weakest aspect imo, the only interesting relationships are Suki/Sokka, and Mai/Zuko. Everything else just feels a bit forced.

I love seeing the joy of discovering where a meme/sound comes from in the faces of everyone that watches this show for the first time. Truly magnificent.

SECRET TUNNEL

The myth, the legend, the meme: SECRET TUNNEL

The trick isn't about a kiss, it's not magic. Otherwise how would the couple have been able to find each other coming from different ends of the cave? It's just a riddle about the glow-in-the-dark crystals and needing to put out the torches. So Katara and Aang may or may not have kissed, they don't tell us. Edit: I know you ended up realizing this too, but I’m leaving my comment up bc some people still insist on lack of media comprehension lol

Yeah Aang definitely didn't want it to look obvious that he likes her and was all for the idea of them kissing so he went in the opposite direction but overdid it a lot.

“Maybe he was nervous….. shit” that was so freaking funny hsdfsfs

SECRET TUNNEL!!!!!!

I’ve seen this episode used to both ship Aang and Katara, and Katara and Zuko. It’s not just the fandom, the writers were divided as the show was going too.

Aang dug himself into a pretty deep hole despite not yet having learned how to earth bend.

One of the best comedy and world building episodes. Classic

3:54 THE DUDE AT THE BACK IS BARELY PLAYING HIS INSTRUMENT 🤣🤣🤣

Fun fact: We don't see it, but this is the first time Aang and Katara kiss.

10:57 Aang's first time earthbending, look at that massive hole he put himself into

The kiss isnt the solution. Its putting out the fire. The crystals only shine in complete darkness

Secret tunnel secret tunnel Through the mountain Secret secret secret tunnel !!!

Dee Bradley Baker needs to release an album

"So are you guy's going to come to Omashu with us?" "Nope." "Okay."

chong, the main nomad, is voiced by dee bradley baker, who does all the animals in the show including appa and momo! you might also know him from clone wars, where he voices all of the clones

I can never hear the word "tunnel" without that chorus going through my head. Just like my step-daughter and I can't hear the word "snack" without thinking "Snack, Snack...have a snack with Brown and Black"

You singing along with Secret Tunnel.

I love this episode so much! I've been singing SECRET TUNNEL for years :)

sokka is a real one, absolute legend

Just humming along with his songs lol

I suppose they did, actually. You can see them still lovingly holding each other's hands for a moment after the crystals light up. Then Katara is taken aback by the crystals and the realisation the kiss wasn't actually necessary, and Aang feels awkward as the moment slips away.

If there's anything we learned from this episode is that there's a bit of Sokka in all of us.

3:05 SECRET TUNNEL!!!! That will NEVER get old.

I adore this cliffhanger

Despite having no earth bending experience Aang now holds the record for being able to dig himself a hole so deep so quickly over the one girl he actually has feelings for.

I was waiting so long during this tuesday for you to watch it it’s one of my favorites bwfore book 3 I like them with the group when someone joins the group I’m not a spoiler

also the episode were Aang learned some earth bending when he kept burying himself a deeper hole

There do be a secret in that tunnel

yup, the Badgermoles were the first Earthbenders, Nature teaching Humans to Use Nature

10:41: Oh, I saw a clip for this scene. Aang totally fumbled the bag. XD

There’s a lot of reasons hair is significant in lots of cultures but one I am aware of in China is the the belief that everything about your body was a gift from your parents/ancestors, including hair, which is why it was taboo to cut it. When I watched this scene I took it as them cutting off their family.

@@valtinryu8147 I'm not really sure, tbh.😅 Either they did kind of forget or their logic was just that in the 'Cave of Two Lovers' episode, it didn't really mean as much in terms of romance because they were focused on trying to survive. Edit: There are also times after a series has ended where creators confirm or deny theories and stuff like that, and just decide to throw out (arguably) canon facts that may or may not cause inconsistencies within the story. This could've been one of those moments. Personally, ever since I was a kid, I've always thought they kissed in this episode, but I can definitely see the argument behind them not having kissed here.

Things are getting spicy between Aang and Katara, and by spicy I mean painfully awkward befitting of two young teens though, better than Sokka's latest mental aneurysm with the nomads, song is catchy though Zuko and Iroh's latest misadventure proves that true change is a steady slope, because as much as Zuko was shown first hand that his now disavowed nation has been cruel to even innocent civilians who treated and accommodated strangers like him, he still stole from them And some origins of Omashu, just as it's been invaded by the Fire Nation...
