Time for a marathon. It's been two orso years since last one.

My one regret about this show was that there were no huge Earth Bender fights. Id love to see the battlefield shift around the combatants.

Not true 60fps its interlaced.

I think you mean interpolated... and yeah, a 10 fps gif with 50 interpolated frames just looks unnatural and bleck to me.

I don't understand why people do this. You ruin the animation by duplicating frames. It was animated for 24fps this makes me sad.

MrRauchPotato
It’s not the same without the music but still awesome
RayMC
A lot of people dont realize this, but Katara & the others werent able to do as much with direct combat in the finale b/c of the comet. (1)
They were all ridiculously weak compared to the firebenders. Only the masters could stand up to them, and even they needed 2 firebending (2)
masters to make it happen. You can clearly see this based on the giant flames in this agni kai scene. Something most people dont realize (3)

TBH the music in this scene is just incredible for the mood of it.

That's not 60 fps, that's interpolated at best with a side of prime motion blur
tablecat
which makes it 60 fps. It doesn't make it not 60 fps just because it's interpolated.
what doesnt make it a true 60fps is the fact that the characters arent re-drawn every frame. They are static for about 3 frames each drawing
so the characters are moving at like 20 fps, even though the video stats say its 60 fps
No, that's not how it works, when you blend 2 frames you don't create new ones and don't get the smooth experience. Needs to be native.
That's exactly what interpolation does, though. It makes new frames inbetween the original frames.
Yes, blurred version of both frames "motionblur" it isn't at all the same thing and you just need to google a few examples to see it
BlackoutAU
That's not 60fps, it's just running at 60 frames per second?
its not real a 60 fps because the artists didnt draw the characters 60 times per second (no budget would allow that), the actual characters
change poses like every 3 frames or so, the background just parallaxes the entire time.
Rgr, good explanation
SnesC
I love how muted this scene was. It could have been an exciting, action-packed showdown, but instead it felt almost tragic.
OurLordAndSaviorGabeNewell
I mean it is a duel between siblings. One of which is a circumstance of her fathers ideals
it was meant to. azula, in her madness, fell to the very darkness iroh warned zuko of. shes meant to be pittied. and they pulled it off 100%
Eudonidano
Also, with the other 2 loud actionpacked showdowns (Ozai v Aang & Airships v. Sokka, Suki, & Toph), having loud music here would be overkill
minant
Yeah, this was really just the finisher on the episodes since The Boiling Rock she spent destroying everything around her.

Zuko quickly became my favorite part of that show, aside from Uncle Iroh that is...

Iroh is almost painfully good. I could not believe how he kept getting better on all fronts as we learned more about him.

good quality but its not *really* 60 fps. No way an animator is drawing 60 frames every second for a TV show. Not in the budget lol

Yeah the show was produced in SD. I don't even think they put it on Blu Ray cause it just wasn't made for it.
get out of here with your new avatar ilk

Tenzen was pretty much the best character in korra. Quite the depressing let down that series is Tbh.

What's the difference between red flames and blue flames?
Cjcunn506
Mainly just to differentiate the characters attacks. Azula sgot blue flame throughout the entire series
MINIMVM
I've been asking the same thing. I think it's because of their different state of emotion.
Direfury
I saw it more like... Everyone ELSE was using a flamethrower, while she was using a blowtorch, which was more focused, getting more oxygen.
Nikolai5
Pretty much yes. Her fire is hotter. If she wasn't mentally ill and generally a bad person she could have been one of the best fire benders.
Mrbrionman
Azula had blue flames because blue fire is much hotter showing that she's more powerful.
FutureHylian
However, Zuko is much more disciplined and reserved, so he can focus more on technique.
science says her fire is the more intense and heated. TV people would mention the need to tell the two fires apart for the audience.
he writers, and most of the fanbase would add in the symbolism of her being the stronger sibling, and the focused fury. take your pick
Oxythief
No you need to take her down, she is crazy.
IllegalBiceps
No, she's crazy and (she) needs to go down **
Thanks, I couldn't remember the exact words.
SmolTenk
I always felt sorry for azula tbh.
... Shes still pretty cute too. Idk I never really felt too sorry for her. That said I also may not be remembering her story very well
You were supposed to.
AnApologeticCanadian
She's a kid, no mother and abusive father and the weight of an entire kingdom on her head with no proper guidance. The scene of her 1/2
Crying and screaming chained down and breathing fire after the fight actually got me emotional. 2/2
SirHolmesalot
She is only 14.
Then her parents built a very strange machine
Not gonna lie, the official ages for most of the characters were BS. Mike & Bryan did not know what teenagers look like. Azula, for (1)
example, has the body of a 17 year old. She does NOT look 14. And I know, b/c I saw this series multiple times while in high school. (2/2)
AbyssinianRem
True, but to be fair she was a highly trained fighter with lots of pampering. It's possible the stress and all made her look older, and ~
SeriouslyAwkward
O wow. You've made so many of my past boners weird now with that fact o.o
Boners just don' care.
Thanks. But I guess I was around 14 when it aired?
ThePotatoesareMashed
I mean, if those boners came from the crazy chick who was ready to destroy an entire nation, they were probably weird boners to begin with.
Maybe the correct term is guilty boners?
And a bundle of wasted potential. I see Zuko as a weaker version of what Azula could have been if she had been trained properly.
Zreen
The comics almost brought that potential back

WorkerLurker
Having an older sister about the Same age difference, this was heartbreaking.

Idk. I'd kick my sibling's ass for free. With love.
It was more because he HAD to. Not as a sibling rivalry, but as a king. (I say king because this fight establishes the fire lord title)

Idsertian
You ever notice how the scenes between Aang and Ozai are bombastic, but the sounds between Azula and Zuko are muted? Neat af.
Because their battle is emotional and internal, and the music can just play to the weight of the scene
also intentional. the difference between the climax of the proverbial good v evil narrative in the equally proverbial standoff for the world
and the climax of an internal amila stuggle, between a tragic hero, and a tragic villain. azula, for all her meglomania, ruthlessness, and
fury, was a foil to zuko. a sort of "what if" reflection had he not looked for the light as iroh advised. her madness was that. madness. to
be pittied, even through its vileness. ozai by contrast was generic dictator warlord #4928947 who was never meant to be seen as tragic or
CptRobotNinja
The ending of this series was one if the best story endings Ive ever seen. They took their time and the pay off was huge
Radix865
It was one of the few series that kept getting better and better as it went on. Usually they kinda fall flat at some point, but not TLA.
Well they started with a plan, they stuck with it, and they didnt try to milk it after it was over. They let the story stand as it was meant
