Long ago in a distant land, I, Iroh, the tea drinking master of fire bending, unleashed an unspeakable ham. But, a foolish air-bending Avatar wielding a Flying Bison, stepped forth to oppose me.
Before the final blow was struck, I froze him in a giant iceberg, and flung him into the future. Where Ozai's evil is law. Now the fool seeks to return to the past, and undo the future that is OZAI.
Is that why they're not continuing either series? What would we do without a villain of UNSPEAKABLE evil, and a lovable uncle iron. I loved both shows and am sad to think of never seeing a new episode of either :( ....... R I P - mako
@FanTuckingFastic What? No. They continued Avatar for like, two seasons, they just gave Iroh another voice actor. The creators are making another series, Avatar: The Legend of Korra, to pick up where the finale for the A:tLA left off.
I'm not sure about Samurai Jack though. News about a movie to finish the series has been flying around for ages, but I don't know if it's still in production or not.
@laahah1 yes the new series is called as avatar the legend of korra which takes place after 60 to 70 years after the defeat of ozai by aang.the next avatar KORRA who is a water bender by birth has master all 3 elements and seeks to master airbending as opposite to first part where aang knows airbending and tries to find masters of other elements.she then finds aang and katara's son who knows airbending and starts training meanwhile fights a group of anti-benders.
@laahah1 anti-benders uses chi to block benders capability to bend....
this event takes place in republic city -a city build by former avatar aang and firelord zuko in support of friendship.this series is going to take place in 26 episodes and is supposed to release in april 2012 approximately..........
Mako is also an accomplished martial artist. Had a fight scene with Bruce lee himself in a classic episode of the green Hornet, and in a film called Battle Creek Brawl, he played master to Jackie chan in a very humurous "mock fight" scene. Before I saw that movie i did not know he was that practiced a martial artist and quite flexible too! Back in the day anyway. he will be missed! RIP!
iroh and aku were done by the same actor in season 1 of avatar then mako iwamatsu (the voice actor died) thats why their is a segment on the episode "tales of ba sing se" in irohs story for in honor of mako
Which SJ episode was the audio from 2:30 from? When Aku says "Join me, and we will rule the galaxy as father and son!" I've seen all the SJ episode, but I don't recall Aku telling Jack this.
Mako Iwamatsu was a fantastic actor, and his voice was instantly recognizable. Keone Leung tried to imitate Mako when Voicing the Narrater in the PS2 games Mark of Kri and Rise of the Kasai.
Go check out the Conan movies again. Mako plays Akiru the Wizard. He's awesome.
I met Phil LaMarr at a convention recently (the voice of Samurai Jack) and asked him what it was like to work with Mako. He said it was a learning experience because he only had that once voice but when he played different characters he would not change his voice but his essence. That's why Aku and Iroh sound the same yet very different. It literally took me months to realize that Mako voiced Iroh. That's true mastery of voice acting if you ask me.
actually mako only did iroh for book one and two,(they even did a in loving memory thing for him in the tales of ba sing se episode of book two) all of book 3 was some other guy
Yeah, he only speaks in approximately 3 episodes during Book 3, and they intentionally do all his stuff at the start of the season in silence. The replacement does a good impersonation, but it's just not the same.
Mako Iwamatsu was an awesome voice actor. May he rest in peace. He was also in an episode of "Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go!" but I don't remember which one.
Boy, this is the shit. How can you not like something like this.Aku+Iroh...just to see Iroh's words in Aku's mouth and vice versa is crazy,funny and yet still kosher.
Mako just wasn't a great voice over actor, he was a great supporting actor in general. One of those that you immediately notice. He was nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his role in the Steve McQueen Classic "The Sand Pebbles". He also had a memorable fight scene with Bruce Lee in an episode of The Green Hornet. Anytime I can mention Mako, Steve McQueen & Bruce Lee in the same comment, I will.
now see i think an actor has to be at least somewhat like the character he's playing. I know they call it acting for a reason, but i am personally pissed off about the 'jesse McCartney playing zuko' monstrousity!!!!
I NEVER KNEW!
