Ember Island Toph is a female character though. He's wearing a dress & hairdo.

This episode: 1. Is a recap 2. Forces the characters to see their flaws and changes. These actors are exaggerations but there is still truth 3. The show writers and actors are making fun of themselves. They agree that the Great Divide was a waste of time so they skip. And I’m sure the voice actors do feel like they are on repeat a lot (Zuko’s honor, Katara’s hope, Aang’s goofy laughter, Sokka’s obsession with food) 4. They are acknowledging statements from fans. Kataang vs Zutara. Jet’s death being unclear. They clearly pay attention to their fans and respect the fanbase 5. Foreshadow the final two main fights in the climax between the two main heroes and two main villains during Sozin’s Comet 6. They put in ideas that didn’t make the cut. According to extras and trivia. Aang was originally supposed to be a prankster hero who won fights through being clever with tricks, Toph was supposed to be a muscly 16 yr old boy, Zutara was very close to being in the finale

The unsung hero of this episode: the stagehand, the guy running all the backstage props, special effects, and mechanisms by himself. Also, I like to think at some point after the war the gang went to the director and writers of the play to give a little "constructive criticism". And what's funny is that Zuko never knew like Yue and how the gang knew Jet, so he was learning all that for the first time; he thought Sokka was joking or something at first and was legit concerned about Jet.

The reason why Katara accepted the kiss from Aang before he left to fight the firelord is because she's already inloved with him.

Fun fact, when this show first aired, the four part finale, it was released as a two hour special.

This is one of my favourite episodes of Avatar. I really like the technical things of how the theatre does all the effects on the stage. It is great. So much imagination. This episode is mostly funny but there are the serious deep parts too. And this episode is perfect and most well done recap episode that has ever been done. This is just something very wonderful. :)

Fun fact: Toph was initially going to be a buff man as depicted, look it up

Fun fact: Toph was supposed to be a buff earthbender. But the writers changed it last minute. This whole episode is the writers just having fun and poking fun at themselves.

Roshi said exactly what i was thinking whenever a reactor say "how did they know" about this episode, they read the whole source citation list at the beginning lmao

Prisoners of war Pirates Singing nomads Cabbage merchant Bruh the references lol

I've always respected the playwright, who made this thing - the dude did an ungodly amount of research and did some pretty advanced and creative special effects for the production, like that glowing paint on Aang's eyes. The dude's an artist and am his eternal fan.

Fun facts: Love Amongst the Dragons is Zuko's mothers favorite play and the Blue Spirit is a character from that play. Also if you listen to the Book 2 commentary they comment on Zuko's hair being a bit out of control 🤣

I cannot believe you guys skipped “there, I got a pretty good look at you”

I love how this guys laugh, interact and enjoy the show rather than staying silent and just watching, glad I found this channel!

The small detail of Aang’s actress slightly opening one eye to catch the lightning streamer Azula shoots at him makes this episode for me. So well put together

Sheera: toph gonna be upset Me: you thought lol

I'm so impressed y'all caught the source of the info. So many reactors ask how they found the details because they're talking while Sokka reads the poster.

There's an extra layer of comedy when you learn that the person voicing the Zuko in the play is the brother of Dante Bosco, Zuko's actual voice actor

Imagine being permanently scarred and then this random kid comes up to you and says it’s on the wrong side.

7:50 Azula: Wait! What's that? I think it's your honor? * my jaw drop😭

Iroh is portrayed as a gluttonous moron, eating a whole cake. His love of tea is not mentioned and seems to instead be replaced with cakes. Also, he goads Zuko to side with him because treachery is "more fun". Ironically, this version of Iroh's enjoyment of cake is given to the character of Iroh in The Last Airbender, although not to the comical extent shown here. Momo is a "flying rabbit monkey", talks and is portrayed as a hand puppet with a fake arm attached to the end to fool the audience, though only Aang's actress can wear it. The Blue Spirit is a separate entity from Zuko and also saves "Aang" from Zuko, though it was actually Zhao who captured Aang. The Blue Spirit is given a gargantuan head and a silly expression on his 'face'. Suki is accurate, though some physical details are slightly exaggerated, but to a lesser extent. She has no lines at all during the parts of the play that are shown on-camera. Bumi's musculature is greatly over-exaggerated by a muscle suit worn by the actor and the feathers on his headdress are colored. Additionally, when he makes Aang complete a series of trials, both Aang and Sokka are seen being chased around an arena by various objects while Katara is trapped in jennamite and subsequently faints in an exaggerated pose, whereas in real life both Sokka and Katara were trapped. Azula's physical characteristics are over-exaggerated, such as having long nails, excessive makeup, wearing pink, yellow, and blue clothing, and big hair. She is portrayed as being less cunning than the real Azula. Her speech pattern is also strangely bombastic, unlike the real-life Azula. Mai is portrayed with hair covering her eyes, her hair in the style of Mickey Mouse ears and an unhappy face symbol on her chest, while Ty Lee is depicted as an overweight ballerina whose chi blocking is depicted by her simply kissing her fingers and touching her opponent, incapacitating them instantly. Actress Mai also keeps her stilettos in her hair buns, whereas the real Mai keeps her weapons in her clothing. Ozai is portrayed as a stereotypical villain, of the sort commonly seen in old vampire horror movies, with over-exaggerated facial features and even disappearing in a puff of smoke. His performance is reminiscent of Ming the Merciless. When Aang's actor on stage mentions they are flying above the Great Divide, Sokka's actor jokes that they should just "keep flying". This is poking fun at the fanbase's distaste for "The Great Divide", as it had the lowest ratings of the entire series. Likewise, the audience yawning and falling asleep during the section of the play dealing with "The Drill" is a reference to a vocal portion of the fanbase considering that episode to be "boring". The portrayal of Toph is a reference to the earthbender prototype that Mike and Bryan created before Aaron Ehasz decided that Toph's character should be a girl. While he has Zuko's original topknot at first, Zuko's Actor subsequently has a spiky haircut and long hair. This parodies the fact that Zuko's hairstyle changed numerous times in Book Two. The "cave scene" between Zuko and Katara's actors makes them seem like a couple. This is a parody of "Zutara". Suki saying "Are you trying to get on my bad side?" in a threatening manner to Sokka reminds one of the creators of his own girlfriend. Sokka offering his actor advice may be a reference to the way Jack DeSena (Sokka's voice actor) added his own input to Sokka's lines, which changed the original serious Sokka to the fun-loving Sokka of today. It might also be a reference to the way well-meaning fans are constantly bombarding the creators of their favorite shows with "helpful suggestions". Throughout the episode, Aang is wearing the same kind of hat that Xu wears in "The Painted Lady" to cover his tattoo. The ending to The Boy in the Iceberg, in which the Fire Nation gains total victory in the war, seems odd considering the playwright is from the Earth Kingdom. Sokka crying over the depiction of princess Yue's death is a reference to the fans' reaction over that particular scene where she sacrifices herself to save the moon spirit. Though the Actress Azula uses blue ribbons to represent real Azula's blue firebending, when she ultimately "kills" Actor Zuko, she summons orange-red flames instead. The battle between the Actress Azula and Actor Zuko foreshadows the Agni Kai the two will later have in the episode Sozin's Comet Part 3: Into the Inferno. In this episode's DVD commentary, the creators said the writers might have put in the episode's last scene as a jab at the upcoming movie, The Last Airbender. At the beginning of the play, the shots of the audience on the lower levels are shown including both men and women. However, by the time the play is at the Actor Toph's introduction, the shots are of men only. The actress playing Aang uses the phrase "yip yip" before going into the Avatar State instead of using it to get Appa to fly. After "Aang" is shot with lightning, the actresses who portray Azula, Mai, and Ty Lee assume a pose used by the 2000 movie Charlie's Angels. Despite Fire Nation propaganda that the war was a way for the Fire Nation to "share their greatness", the Fire Lord is depicted as having clearly imperialistic and megalomaniacal motives, and no one in the audience seems to mind. In fact, they actually cheer when he says the world is finally his, specifically. Several of the scenes are out of order. For example, the "The Blue Spirit" was shown before the episode "Jet". If observed closely, it becomes clear several of the play's events are in a different order, like Combustion Man's death, which is depicted before the Invasion when it was actually after. When the defeat of the Fire Nation at the Siege of the North scene occurred, the Fire Nation audience cheered. While Actress Aang is looking for the puppet Momo, music from one of the non-canonical Super Deformed Shorts, School Time Shipping, can be heard. A seven-minute preview of the episode was released at New York Comic Con in April 2008, though it did not include the part where Aang argues with Zuko over the seats.

Great job! This is my favorite episode. What did you laugh the most at? What, if anything, did you think didn’t work?

Cant wait until we get the "YaBoyRoshi" The Play

I’m so happy this came out today, I’ve been pretty bummed but I’m excited for this

On Odin's beard, I Swear I was just looking for a new avatar reaction on your page

13:13 two girls aren't gonna kiss on stage. Actors rewrite the script all the time.

In This Episode: Aang becomes depressed and wanted some wu tang pu tang but Katara was being stingy with it. Zuko feels regret and is now chasing forgiveness instead of honor. Also Toph Rocks

Bro that ‘I think it’s ur honor……where?’ Line Brings me back to watch this episodes reaction…has me dying every time!

so hyped to see y'all finish it out

When Katara said she was confused, she wasn’t confused about how she felt about Aang, she was confused about whether she wanted to be with him right before he found Ozai since there is a chance he could die

Yass i live for your reactions.

I'm on my 15th re-watch of ATLA here this time it is with you guyz and can't wait to the final episode!!! Just watch it already I'm so hyped up!!!!

so excited for the finale, I've been watching y'alls reactions since ep 1!!

Let's goooooo one of the reactions i was waiting on most

This honestly one of the best recap episodes for a tv show! It's extremely clever and gives a lot of nods to fans and the bts of the show. Toph was originally supposed to be a muscular man (his image is the one from the opening of earth), the zuko and katara romance is a nod to zutara shippers (they were originally supposed to end up with each other and even the VAs shipped them), aang being a girl is a nod to Broadway which historically had women play characters like Peter Pan. It confirmed and even played in jet's death because Nickelodeon wouldn't allow characters to die on screen. The talking momo I always thought was a nod to aang's dreams. The fun thing is that the ember island players were referenced in a previous episode of this season so it was nice to see it come full circle.

Well the only thing Sokka told Toph of Zuko's appearance was his "ponytail" despite not having it anymore around that time

"The effects were decent." That alone puts the play above the live action movie.

'80s Hair: Actor!Zuko in the second act. It's why he and Iroh split up, since Zuko refuses to talk about it. The Abridged Series: Their show is a vastly condensed version of Aang's journey, gleaned largely from second-hand accounts (surprisingly accurate ones), though with a Twist Ending that's "Fire Nation friendly", you might say. Actually Pretty Funny: The scene where Actor!Sokka in a Kiyoshi outfit talks with Actor!Suki, asking if the dress makes his butt look too fat. Suki struggled to hold her laughter in while Sokka looked extremely embarrassed. Sokka presents Actor!Sokka with some alternative jokes during the intermission to use in-character for the final act of the show. While the actor is initially annoyed at having to deal with "another fan with ideas", he's quickly won over by Sokka's puns and uses several of his suggestions onstage.

In the preview of the play, while the events are true to the first season, the character portrayals and minor plot details are comically incorrect to make the team look bad. Examples: Katara is played by a much older, heavier, and more "developed" or "robust" actress and is portrayed as very melodramatic and exaggeratedly preoccupied with "hope", often bursting into tears and/or melodramatic speeches for the occasion for no apparent, logical, or comprehensible reason, an exaggeration based on the speech she gave to the imprisoned earthbenders in "Imprisoned". All her actions also seem to be based on "hope". For example, when she and the others steal the waterbending scroll, she claims that she did it because "It gave me so much hope!" She also deliberately waterbends actress Aang out of the iceberg when in reality, she finds Aang by accidentally waterbending while losing her temper at her brother's sexist remarks. She frees Aang with one of Sokka's weapons. The actress is also much more flirty than the real Katara. She seems to have romances with Jet and Zuko but claims she only loves Aang "like a little brother", which disturbs the real Katara and Zuko and upsets the real Aang. She is also shown to be more attracted by Jet's 'bad-boy' attitude. Sokka's actor is incredibly thin and has buckteeth, he thinks only about food, mostly meat-a comic exaggeration of Sokka referring to himself as "the meat and sarcasm guy". He wears Sokka's season two outfit. While the character is a boy, the actress portraying Aang is a woman who does not attempt to hide her gender, much to the real Aang's annoyance. She is also more of a trickster and is much perkier. Her glider resembles a fan and whenever she flies, she has a flamboyant posture that further exhibits her femininity. Toph is played by an extraordinarily muscular man with Toph's signature hairstyle. To symbolize Toph's blindness, the actor's hair covers his eyes, unlike Toph's eyes, which are not covered but which are very pale to emphasize the fact she is blind. Toph, in real life, "sees" with the vibrations all around her through her feet. In the play, the actor "sees" by releasing a sonic wave from his mouth (an obvious reference to echolocation). Also, much of Toph's background is removed, and the team just meets him when he comes out of the ground and announces himself as an earthbending master. The real Toph, however, does not seem bothered by this and is rather satisfied with her depiction. Jet is a character in the play and he is called "so bad" by the actress playing Katara with a flirty tone and has exaggeratedly spiky hair. He is shown to be using a flood to destroy the village rather than trying to save the village from the inhabiting Fire Nation soldiers. He chews on a red rose instead of a twig or piece of wheat. When he is shown hypnotized, the actor wears large glasses to make his eyes appear larger to emphasize the fact he is hypnotized and he has hooks on his hands instead of the hook swords he used in real life. His death's lack of clarity in the play refers to how his fate was never shown on screen. Also, in the play Jet was brainwashed by the Earth King, whereas in reality, it was Long Feng and the Dai Li who hypnotized him, but that might have been a reference to the line "The Earth King has invited you to Lake Laogai", which triggers it. Actor Zuko's scar is on the wrong side of his face. Zuko's actor has the scar on the wrong eye and is consistently made fun of for his lack of honor. He is also mocked for being humorless and aggressive toward most of the other characters. Rather than Zuko deciding that there is nothing further to gain from traveling together with his uncle, the reason Zuko and Iroh separated on the play is that Iroh criticized Zuko's hair leading to Zuko's decision that they should "split up". Also, Iroh's capture is not shown, instead, Zuko pushes him over. Appa resembles more of a Chinese Southern Lion in festivals.

A poster for "Love amongst the Dragons" can be seen at the post office in "The Runaway". Zuko says his mother took him to see "Love amongst the Dragons" every year, despite the fact the players "butchered" it each time. This is the play that she was cast for as the Dragon Empress as a young girl for a production in Hira'a. The episode makes a reference to the cabbage merchant, a recurring joke in the show, as a "surprisingly knowledgeable merchant of cabbage". It also refers to Chong and his fellow nomads in "The Cave of Two Lovers" and the pirates from "The Waterbending Scroll".
