- Hi, we're the cast of "Avatar, the Last Airbender,"
and today we'll be answering the most Googled questions
about our show. [funky music]
- Okay. - Let's go.
Does "Avatar, the Last Airbender" take place on earth?
I wanna say yes, but it's like a different universe.
- You definitely inspired by like real places on earth.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Earth inspired.
- Next. [everyone laughing]
Is Aang the most powerful Avatar?
- Absolutely. - Not.
I think, I think the first avatar.
- Yeah. - Ever.
- No 'cause he doesn't have any knowledge
of the past avatars, so his Avatar state
would just be useless. - My vote's Kioshi.
- Unlike me, who knows the most.
- It's debatable. I feel like I've seen people debate
about this forever. - Yeah, it's a lot.
- Yeah. But I watched a YouTube video
and the avatarist said that I'm the best.
- Oh. - [Elizabeth] Well.
- Here we go. [everyone laughing]
- Why is Aang bald in Avatar? - [Kiawentiio] Oh.
- Oh, it's a Tibetan monk thing.
- But also remember in Korra,
whenever they were like talking about
how you can feel the waves of the-
- Yeah.
- Of the like motions- - Air.
- The air, yeah.
- How old is Aang? - It's debatable.
- Come on guys. You should know.
- What? - Is it?
Oh yeah, you're right. - No.
- Is he 12 or is he 112? - 112?
- I'm 112. - Okay.
- I've been on planet whatever it is for 112 years.
- There you go. - Okay. You go.
- How did Zuko get his scar? - Daddy problems?
- Yep. [Gordon laughing]
- His father burned his eyeball off. It's so sweet.
It was an act of love. - Totally.
[everyone laughing]
- How do you pronounce Sokka from Avatar?
[everyone laughing]
- We'll just leave it there. We'll just leave it there.
- So many. - We get Soka a lot.
- Yeah. - That's really it.
And honestly the only people that get a pass
are the British folks 'cause that's how they're like-
- Soka- - Actually say.
- Soka. - [Ian] Yeah.
- Perfect. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They're like Soka. So I'll let it pass.
- Where is Katar from? She is from the Southern Water Tribe.
- Oh, okay. Who is a Azula in Avatar? I'll take this one.
She is Zuko's sister and the rightful heir to the throne.
- Whoa, whoa. Controversial. Controversial.
- Do you guys mind zooming in on this one?
- [Elizabeth] Why?
- How is the "Avatar" The Last Airbender" made?
- By shooting it. - Solid. Yeah.
- Zoom in here. Zoom in here. Zoom in here now.
- We spent a year in Vancouver, Canada,
shooting on a volume and sometimes on actual locations
somewhere in the middle of the forest,
and other times in front of green screen.
This was a very long process for us all,
getting into character, reviewing,
you know, the animated series.
Then moving to watch like a lot of dissection videos
of our characters just because there's so much information
out there already. And then obviously putting our own take
on the characters as well.
- [Ian] Bang. That was fire.
- You take the next one. - Yeah.
- Is Sokka an Avatar? - Yes.
- I mean. - I think-
- In his heart for sure. - In his, yeah.
- He bends lots of things like comedy and other stuff.
- Careful. - Careful?
- Is Zuko good in Avatar. No.
- [Elizabeth] Whoa. - [Ian] Good?
- What is the relationship between Katara and Aang
in the Avatar: The Last Airbender?"
In our show, it's still just the first season as well.
It's just like family relationships.
I mean between like the three of us as well.
- Yup.
- They're there for each other in every bad situation,
every good situation. And that's what family is.
- In a fight between Iroh and Zuko, who would win?
I'm saying Zuko gets walked down by Iroh.
[everyone laughing]
I'm gonna be honest. - Get to walk.
- You see like the chains, he's the dragon of the west.
He's part of some secret society later on.
Like even though Zuko progresses
as a fire bender throughout the series,
he's just still not strong enough unfortunately.
- I mean, he's the dragon of the west, bro. What can you do?
- Yeah. - Here you go bestie.
- Include me guys. [everyone laughing]
- Who was Avatar before Aang?
- Avatar Roku. - That's right. Y'all's cycle.
- Y'all's grand it. - Oh yeah.
- Can anyone learn bending?
- You have to be a bender. - Like it's based on genetics.
I'm pretty sure. - Yeah, I can't.
I asked him just for like one really like silly one,
like in like season three. Like I can like leaf bend,
but they turned it down for some reason.
- I dunno why. [everyone laughing]
- Anybody can learn the martial arts?
- Right.
- Like for bending, like anybody can learn like wushu,
like northern Shaolin Kung fu.
- Yeah. - Tai chi.
- Tai chi. But-
- But I mean are you gonna end up
like moving actual elements? - Okay.
[Kiawentiio laughing]
- Next one. What mythology is Avatar: The Last Airbender
based on? So each nation is based on its own cultures.
- Eastern Asian, Western Asian, all those different yeah.
- Depends on where. Yeah.
- Yeah. The water tribe is based on like Inuit people
and indigenous peoples.
- What is the most powerful nation in the Avatar?
- Well, I mean-
- I'll let my sister answer this one.
- Oh. - Psh, psh! God yeah.
- You guys cheated. You use this special comet thing.
- Okay. That's not cheating.
It's using the resources though.
- You're like not thinking who won.
- We could have sucked the air out all of your guys' lungs.
We didn't because we're nice people.
- What about with the moon? Hmm? You wanna talk about that?
- They're not cheating.
- Who is Sokka in Avatar? [Kiawentiio laughing]
- Where is Zuko's mother? - Where is my mom?
- Where did she go? [everyone laughing]
- Like, go where your mom at? [everyone laughing]
She lost bro.
- She's in a small earth kingdom in the middle of nowhere.
- Hey, there's a so much lore to get into.
[everyone laughing]
- No, there is not. She is long gone.
She got banished and then she got her brainwashed.
- I actually read the comic
of where Zuko's mom is and it's so interesting.
She goes, runs into the mother of faces,
which is CO's mother. - Right, right.
- And then changes her face
and then starts a whole new life with her first love
that she was actually taken from when she was a teenager
to marry Ozai and have kids with him
because her grandfather was Roku
and then they were like, the bloodline's gonna be crazy.
- Forgot all of this. - That's where his mom is.
- I'm like thinking about it.
- Why is Katara so powerful?
I mean actually hard work and commitment.
- Yeah, girl bossing. Why is Azula's fire blue?
It is blue because it burns hotter than regular fire.
- [Kiawentiio] Yeah.
- And that's why she's also able to lightening bend as well
is because she's able to connect
with these different levels of fire bending.
- Did Aang break the Avatar cycle? Break in?
I guess what is, what do you guys mean by break?
- No, 'cause Korra has access to it.
- Yeah, but like you disappeared bro. Like people died.
- Well I think it's more about like
when he was in the Avatar state, and Azula's like-
- Yeah- - Like laser state-
- When I was in say if you die in the avatar state,
you break the cycle.
- Oh. - Hit 'em with a beam.
- [Gordon] No.
- Yeah, but that's more like a Korra thing too.
- Yeah, there's certainly another Avatar after Aang,
if you continue watching the animated series.
"Legend of Korra," check it out.
- Does Zuko like Katara in Avatar?
[everyone laughing]
- [Gordon] Okay. - [Producer] Is that a no?
- I mean. - I don't know.
But it's not a yes.
- I mean. [everyone laughing]
- Are Avatar and Avatar The last Airbender related,
like blue people? No.
- What is the meaning of the name Katara
in Avatar: The last Airbender?
- Oh. - Dang.
- [Ian] I don't know.
- I need to google this question myself.
- [Ian] Yeah. - It means girl boss.
[everyone laughing]
- Can Aang metal bend? Not. - He wishes he could.
- Yeah.
- Then I could be the one making fancy jewelry.
- Korra is the first metal bending Avatar
and that's the Avatar after Aang.
Are Katara and Azula related in Avatar: The last Airbender?
- Yeah. - No.
- Yeah. We actually are twins.
[Kiawentiio laughing]
- If you can't tell.
- Yeah, we separated at birth. It's a long story.
- It is a real a parent trap situation.
- Yeah. [Kiawentiio laughing]
We switched places at some point. It's crazy.
- I'm gonna take this one. Who has the saddest backstory
in Avatar? - It's kind of him.
- Okay. - I mean, yeah.
- Well there was a genocide.
My friends, my family just everything is gone.
- Yeah, right, right. - Yeah.
- I mean your mom's dead but like my whole nation is gone.
- Yeah. Literally.
- Why is nobody talking about Aang's parents in ATLA?
- Oh.
- My parents would never know who I am
and I would never know who my parents are.
- I thought they were adopted.
- Well, yeah. Well I mean it's based of nomads,
so it's like-
- I know because if it's bending is genetic then-
- Yeah, exactly. - Yeah.
- Oh.
- But all the, what's it people in the Air Nation
can airbend because Keoshi did something crazy.
I can't remember. Or maybe it wasn't Keoshi. No, it was-
- That's the interesting thing about live action
is like the mixture of like original material,
our material, like comics, fans' like theories
and stuff like that. It all gets-
- Yeah, we could totally make up a sick story about this.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- Who was the Avatar before Aang?
- Roku. - Roku.
- Roku. - Great.
- Why can't Katara learn fire bending
in Avatar: the last Airbender?
Well, she's not from the fire nation.
- Yeah. I have no ability to firebend,
so you know, that would get in the way.
Whoa! - Whoa!
- Airbenders.
- When was the first air Avatar incarnated?
- Oh, this is an interesting question
'cause it doesn't mean when was the first Avatar
or when was the first Avatar incarnated?
- 300 BC.
- So it would be the second avatar?
- Yeah. - This is a deep cut.
- Yeah, I think this one's got us all stumped looking.
- Let us know.
- Who has the hottest fire in Avatar?
- We kinda just explained it.
- Okay. Our dad was like cooking crazy.
- Okay, but is it bloom? - That's fair.
- Oh my god. It almost took it.
- That's happened three times.
I'm just out here like. [everyone laughing]
- Sorry. - Here's the last one.
Which Avatar is immortal?
- I don't. - Or the Avatar spirit.
- Oh yeah, I guess the Avatar spirit.
I don't think there's like an Avatar-
- [Ian] Right. - That's immortal.
Though, Keoshi was alive till she was like 200 something.
120. - Wait.
- Oh damn. - Oh man.
You gotta keep it in though. - And that's a wrap.
- You should have threw it.
- And that's a wrap to most Googled searches
for "Avatar: the Last Airbender."
Thank you guys and hope you have an amazing day.
