As Avatar Has Resurged I, Like Most Everyone Else With Taste, Began Rewatching And From The First Few

fuck it. names are too complicated. I’ll respond to anything. If you yell “hey shithead” in my general direction I’ll turn around 8 times out of 10

my friends and I reference this video so often

I just want all of you to know something...

Remember this scene in Avatar the Last Airbender, in the episode called “The Ember Island Players”, when the gaang goes to the theater to watch that ridiculous play about their adventure…?

And there’s this part that Aang goes “Uh… I wanted to sit there” because he wants to sit next to Katara?

Well, I was extremely disappointed to find out that, in the original, Zuko replies with “Just sit next to me, what’s the big deal?”…

Because in the Brazilian dub, I don’t know why or how or whose idea it was, but it turned out a million times better, since Zuko’s reply to him is…

“Sit here on my lap, I don’t mind it.”

And it was so sincere and naive and dumb and somehow nice of him, like as if he were his big brother or something, because the intonation is totally pure and kind, it was not sarcastic or anything! So yeah… I just think that was a huge improvement. It was cute and absolutely hilarious! Thanks, Brazilian translators, that was awesome! XD

Extra:

i like how literally everyone in the gaang is so good at coming up with convincing alter egos except for zuko and sokka.

katara and toph can come up with identities that are completely fitting for the situation, while aang just acts so outrageously that no one even suspects that he’s going undercover. (”there’s no way that this kuzon kid has anything to hide. it’s like he’s begging to be noticed.”)

zuko and sokka on the other hand…are complete ass at it. they discover this when the gaang tell zuko about the dumb shit they got themselves into in the fire nation.

zuko: wang fire? you named yourself wang fire? that’s like if i infiltrated the southern water tribe under the name mr. ice water.

sokka: oh yeah? if you’re so good at going undercover, then what was your alias in the earth kingdom?

zuko: lee

sokka: go on…

zuko: just…lee…

sokka: oh. so you decided to create an earth kingdom identity using literally the most common name in the fire nation. how clever. you should have just named yourself ZUKO WITH A C AND IT WOULD HAVE HAD THE SAME EFFECT

zuko: I WAS PANICKING OKAY?

aang, katara, and toph see sokka and zuko being potential liabilities if they ever need to go undercover again. they make it a game to randomly give sokka and zuko scenarios to which they have to create an alter ego on the spot. sometimes sokka and zuko will just be chilling at the western air temple, cloud watching or some dumb shit like that, and suddenly it’ll be like…

aang: QUICK YOU WERE SPOTTED TRYING TO GAIN ACCESS TO AN EXCLUSIVE COUNCIL MEETING AT THE NORTHERN WATER TRIBE. WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT BUSINESS DO YOU HAVE THERE?

sokka: uh uH…oh oh! i know! i’m the ghost of the 33rd chief of the northern water tribe, chief tunriq, here to preserve the spiritual sanctity of my—

aang: okay i’m gonna stop you right there. zuko, your turn.

zuko: can’t i just fight them and get it over with?

aang: no!

sokka and zuko get pretty decent at it when they have to infiltrate the fire nation again, and they all continue playing this game long after the war is over. even though they don’t need to go into hiding anymore, it’s still a useful skill to have whenever they wanna disguise themselves as regular people to hang out. in a few month’s time, sokka and zuko are able to whip up pretty elaborate back stories on the spot, and the gaang feels like they’re finally ready to put their skills to use in public. but oh god. does it backfire.

random civilian: hey! you look a lot like the avatar’s friend. sokka from the southern water tribe.

sokka: i get that all the time. my name’s lee. i run a tea shop with my uncle in the earth kingdom.

random civilian: you mean like firelord zuko’s alter ego…? now that i think about it your friend looks a lot like him. who are you?

zuko: i am but a humble servant to firelord zuko, here to escort these earth kingdom civilians around the fire nation as part of the firelord’s campaign to make our country more hospitable to the other nations.

aang, katara, and toph: *whispers* oh my god he did it

zuko: my name is…wang fire

aang, katara, and toph: *commence internal sobbing*

from that point on, aang, katara, and toph decide that they should do the talking for them.

i can’t talk shit about the pirates of the caribbean films as if elizabeth swann becoming pirate king didn’t hand my entire ass to me and make me the gay i am today

You gotta love that Tumblr is on the rise because of Twitter and Reddit going down, and not because Tumblr has actually done anything to really improve its website.

I personally kin with a website that accidentally and coincidentally fails upwards.

The site that wins simply by remaining upright.
