 Hey, I am one of your coasts hole one of your coasts hole And I'm joined today by three lovely guests. We have at the top, you know, I'm you love them Chris coquinos The lovely and slightly older Isabadiola slightly older Her birthday was yesterday slightly older than me. No, no, no, it's not sure I don't know if anyone's slightly older than you Chris you forget that I'm here the dad But you're the kid of all ages John Riesinger. I have children that are almost the age of some of our employees We're here to play some top tier now top tier is the show where we take some media sensation and Rank all the characters sometimes with a frame I think we're just gonna go with general characters today as with our tour list always golden honey is the pinnacle of all Existence followed by S a b c and D D being a character that we don't quite fancy that much We decided a couple weeks ago that we wanted to do avatar last airbender just because you like anime You're gonna like avatar the last airbender. That's why I'm not gonna ask the question I was gonna ask why is it not anime because I think it's anime for Americans it is a cartoon in Japan They considered anime a Simpsons is an anime But then it makes no sense No, then then then your logic is on sound and this is an anime you Dummy's before we roll into it. What kind of bender would you be? 100% fire I'm a firebender. Oh boy So where would we be without starting with aang I always get heat for throwing these good good protagonists into like top tier categories So I'm gonna I'm only gonna partially put my my foot in my mouth and throw him at a for aang and not on you Awful live action It doesn't exist Chris that movie holds it's a significant place for me actually it is the first time I realized a movie could be bad Okay, I'm gonna say I'm okay with putting him in a I'm fine with that too. I might be convinced to maybe lower him, but we'll see Appa Appa baby S Name one other like pet character in a cartoon. That's as top tier as Appa. I'll wait Here it's rough. It's also interesting how much he does for the story Just simply like when he gets stolen. That's like the all is lost like that's the lowest point in the series I love Azula. I love that. I hate her because she's a really well done character, but she's also very She's an awful person. Yes. It makes me so angry. She's an awful person, but I love how they explain how she gets there She's also not redeemable like it That's what happens in the comics later where they give her chances to redeem herself and it's like no because of how I've been raised I'm a bad person. I think she's the best villain in the series if it's not s tier than a tier for sure for me She was like she was just a really well-done character Yeah, there's like no doubt about her mom her mom had problems with her her brother had problems with her dad is Well, her dad she hated Iroh which was kind of shitty So now it makes me want to knock her down Because well it's cuz essentially her mom just kind of goes you're a monster. I care more about my baby boy It's kind of like an exercise in empathy for both Azula. Yeah her mom. Yeah, yeah Okay, so we're getting to our first kind of tertiary character Bato Bato Be for Bato he was the I'll put them there just what we're discussing He was the surrogate father to Saka and Katara while their father was off fighting He's a forgettable character for me. I think he's extremely forgettable So I don't want to say Yeah, he looks like it looks like a nice guy, but that's that's where the line is drawn Yeah, it's being nice in my opinion down Bato down. You're now Cato a character. I mean anything's better cabbage I mean he's a great character Well, I don't have an argument. I'm sorry. I don't have an argument. I thought someone was gonna bite We're still gonna have people being crushed by boulders P&B will burn to live people being murdered But there's still a guy who's upset cuz like his cabbage cart always get my cabbages He's not as bad as Bato so he can't be see Cabbage man easy to be at least be as we know I'm combustion man Sock will I call him was it boomy boomy spiky spiky boob man the assassin? Yeah, I would actually put him so low He was a threat for sure But also didn't no one else really think about the fact that he just fire bends from his like mind or I and then that Would be his weak spot. I get why they did it But it was also weird like they had already done so much just send like a terminator type villain after them was like I Never really thought they were in that much danger. He wasn't a good villain I just remember him being very spooky. It's spooky. It's like. Oh, no We have to finish the show in 10 episodes. I don't think he's gonna do much Speaking of shit bags Joshua Joshua in the the salmon bender who steals oppa new tier new tier shit back to shit back Shit back to here there we go. Monk. Yeah, it's you Ang's airbender teacher. I felt bad for every time and just wanted to go play, but he's the one who letting go play It's true. Was he oh, that's right. It's got you. Yeah, you're right Yeah, it's the other the other douche nozzles wanted him to act like a high and mighty Avatar he's one in the narrative of the story is what allowed Aang to be so fun I mean, maybe if he had taught Aang to take care of his his position more appropriately Ang when they've left and given them a hundred years of being under the Fire Nation rule, but It worked out in the end it all worked out That hundred years is a bad time. Yeah, so actually like came into Aang's room going like Aang We're gonna leave they were gonna run away together, you know because he didn't want Aang to go through this shit. Yeah He's not a good caretaker of the entire You know I mean, you could say he single-handedly murdered all the airbenders. Yeah Now here here's a questionable character speaking of fathers. We have a Hakoda Katara and Sokka's father. Where was he? He was off trying to fight the Fire Nation This is true I have nothing to say now Do you leave your kids behind and in danger to go? Hopefully like stop the danger we're at its source or do you stay back and just defend all the time and not really? Because I mean he's essential for the day of Black Sun and uh so since comments. Yes the closest Equivalent I could find in my mind and I could be wrong is it's kind of like being like a dad in the military So that was kind of his his duty and his responsibility And the benefit of being in the water tribe is that they're a tribe. So it is a familial community It's easy to say this now. Why didn't he take them to the northern water tribe? Sokka is the most capable warrior left. Keep that guy in C Chris now we want terrifying chris. Let's talk about hama Bloodbending man. Bloodbending is dope, but also it's pretty fucked up hama's a admittable Yeah It might be she might she might be s for me. Oh shit Just like this completely fucked up old lady who's like, you know, fuck it I'm gonna inflict all the pain that's been done to me onto other people They gave her like half an episode and she managed to be a memorable and freakiest fuck character Somehow as a villain she expedited the training of one of our our heroes as well So, yeah, I think she's like ass tier. Let me ask you this Do you remember her? Hell? Yeah, I remember. She was spooky as hell. How much do you remember about bato? I'm not then we need to be bumping those boys down like down down to john's point She's exact opposite of combustion man where combustion man was given like a five episode arc She's given one episode and you're like, oh Not only is she a waterbender like she's a waterbender bad guy in season one They found a way to make a waterbender bad guy the whole like pulling the water out of the air And turning it into like little knives on her hand and then like just the the blood bending I had to go and do a quick recap because I watched the show when it first came out It's been a long last time and i'm like looking at i'm looking at her and i'm like, oh my god instant flashback to like Bodies being like contorted. She's like a story. They would tell kids about why not to go out into the woods It's like she's she is it. She was the Halloween episode. Yeah, she's Baba Yaga This guy, I don't know Haru Haru. He was Yeah, he's like the the earth bender who is hiding in the village and then Katara Gets him to believe in himself and they join the resistance. Yeah, he's he's no see he's see that I don't I don't give a shit about this guy move on to someone else. Interesting Yeah, he's there I would drink tea with him and then I would let him just tell me stories forever He would want to drink tea with you for me. There's too much to say about him He's the best dad in the series hands down If Koro was the sequel that if they ever did a prequel it would be Iroh's story That would be great. Oh my god the siege of bossing say Yeah, yeah, that would be heartbreaking. Oh my god as somebody making animation The stuff they do with his scenes it always stands out There's the episodes where like Zuko is going and confronting him in the prison Essentially because it's just like why'd you let me be like this the entire time that uncle Like the Iroh's sitting in the prison and Zuko the entire time they're having that dialogue The camera is placed in a way where Zuko is always behind the bars and Iroh is never behind bars Yep Even though Iroh is in the prison Zuko is still in the prison of his own making. Oh, wow It's like, oh You get to talk so much about that great stories Of course the white lotus where they retake bossing say and he's even like I knew I would retake bossing say I never thought it would be from the fire Yeah to free it Rather than yeah, yeah another member of the white lotus jung jung Ah jung jung uh I would say see yeah, I think he's arguably a bad teacher He's just like a byproduct of like like old sensei though, right? Like a lot of those older teachers just have their ways that they that they teach you see it It's like very tropey and like a lot of like martial arts films like kung fu films It's like this is just the way I am and this is the way I teach and I might be kind of an asshole but also You'll be more powerful afterwards. Anyways question mark. Yeah. Yeah But it didn't work that way He was so full of self-hatred if only because of like who he was or who he is because he was just born that way What we're finding out more and more is that kids don't all learn the exact same way to force that one This is the way you have to learn It wound up being more damaging to aang. All right seats here. Is that where's that? Yeah. All right I accept Jet Frigate jet. No one knows what happens to jet. He's dead, but then like in the ember island players They're like is he off-screen death babies. He's a pretty good character though It was very interesting. Yeah, I would go for yeah. Yeah Jin the the t-girl who zuka takes on a date. Oh, so, you know like I would put her in d d or c But I totally shipped her in zuko before book three came out She's also somebody if she got in her way then then the the show would have ended terribly You saw everything that zuko like their life that they could have had And then you mourned that loss. So I think she's a very good character. I put her b She's gonna do some boy bending if you know what I mean boy bending. Oh my god John, what have you done? Now this is a tricky one judy I hate judy, but also memes memes someone suggested a meme tier cabbages meme We should put meme tier between s and golden honey It's a hallowed space for as cool of a character design as she is june doesn't do a whole lot She's kind of there for exposition. So I think c would be pretty good c or b actually in my opinion. I like c I liked her dragon. She wrote on I didn't like her. I liked her dragon Katara The the strongest waterbender as a as a small child. She had meme tier. She's not mean No, it's all right. I would go a Yeah, I put a I can see people down On the list still that we haven't put up that I thought were more interesting written characters than her But I'd love to grow up. She's a good glow up. So a a tier glow up boomy Boomy's great. He's great. He's one of the most memorable members of the the order of the white lotus in my opinion It's playing in you know 60 years if he tries to do something he's going to succeed Yeah, he's a he's a was it kueh right king of the earth kingdom king of the earth kingdom He's a d tier to me. He's a d. Yeah, he's got a cool bear. He is like the only Single single animal that did not fuck any species animals avatar kiyoshi I would put her in b. Yeah. Yeah b sounds good I wouldn't put them below b just out of almost like reverence for the importance of the character Yeah, honestly, it's just cool. It's let's be an avatar She also had some problems where she's like it's my way or the highway Roku at least is like I get it like it sucks to kill people, but Kiyoshi's like not do it. Do it crazy punk. You won't do it Um long fang I think he's a great villain The only reason why I say he's okay is because like it was so clear that azula kind of played him, you know Uh, and then you really kind of saw him for who he was at that point He's he's that generic that tropey like always shitty Uh, you know side a right hand to the king that's always just trying to use her power Tropy's a very good way to describe him suck it long fang See see for suck No, that would be see that would be for cuckit. That's a different thing Uh long shot long shot. He's one of the liberation kids. I would go be Can we same the same level as jet? Uh, no, definitely not I think all the kids belong on the same tier sans jet because jet was like the most Developed of all of them. I put him I put him in B. That's my fucker could shoot something from like miles away That's cool. That's bad ass my I like my may my is a may may may may may may may may may. Yeah, it's gonna be may She didn't really have An allegiance to any nation. She would just like she was true neutral That's it just true neutral and she was a fucking badass too, but her turn at the end at the uh boyland rock episode So good because now it's just like oh Oh, shit like it was such a good she does have opinions about things Mechanist, he's the guy who's making he's like starting the plans for airships for the fire nation He makes his son the flying wheelchair Oh, that's cool. See for conflicted. It's like a batman villain The fire nation threatened him because they saw that he was doing all these things To the northern air temple and they're like, well, we won't attack you or your people As long as you make stuff for us and he had to make that tough choice. That's why see for conflicted Momo Here's my hot take, okay I really like Momo for one reason because the the actual vocalizations used for Momo are done by an actual human And that is fucking dope people in chat mentioned, um putting momo in the meme tier. There's a meme where it's like momo's holding a gun That's the second second time in a row. We had a gb usa from sailor moon holding the gun last tier list ozai For as great as avatar is as a series and to have mark hamill as a as your main villain It left a little something to be desired. He made for a very good finale. I'll give him that the finale was Satisfying af. I think he's less in the character department than everyone here Oh, shit. You're throwing that big shade. I mean, he doesn't have a character. He's just bad Like he's not even the one who betrayed. He's not even the one that turned. I mean, that's sozen's the guy who like Had the flip. Are we just shit bagging him is what happened? Is that what's happening here? I said shit bag. I forgot that we had a shit bag too I was gonna say no, I mean like shit bag then. All right. We got paku next He's a good teacher might be one of the better teachers Not only does he teach katara very well. He then sets her up to teach eng how to be A waterbender. He started drinking that respect women juice after He turned I think this is okay. I would say b. We got a waterbender and b now. We're good. Oh, we have earth air Water gotta find our b tier fire. I know who's going there, but we'll get there later Piondow who I don't it's hard because I think he is one of those characters who to me is immediately memorable He also kind of does the thing that yeah i'm fire nation But there's some things more important than nation allegiances. I mean hama you see that and you're like, yeah him I think b's good I don't remember very much. I put him either b or c. Do y'all remember pipsqueak? I know who that is just because of the character design, but no One dimensional nothing character Roku I like roku a lot I like roku a lot. Yeah, the most unique name in the entire series smeller b smeller b Smeller b took over the clan after what after jet Died right that was his deal. There's never really a satisfying end for him Yeah, it's not bc. Saka a He's got that good like solid Actual character growth and development he drinks the respect of lemon juice Also, I love seeing a character who doesn't bend like he's stuck in this crazy world He's he's the heart a guy from captain planet all the other guys have like Yeah, they have like offensive abilities that can do stuff and he's like i'm here too He has a growth. That's great. Like he becomes like strategist, you know, uh Extra in there. It's great. I think he needs to go to s tier Think about like every instance in which his character like he got beat the fuck Down that entire series Sozin my only thing with sozin is I think he's better than ozai d That way that checks out suki suki's great suki I'm suki Make and suck it drink the respect women juice taeho He's the kid in the wheelchair Who fucking cares about him? To play the boulder mc foley mc foley is a wrestler All right, so they got a wrestler like mc foley mc foley did the voice of boulder. Are you kidding me? Fricking cactus cactus jack himself Uh the duke I don't see that's fine. The duke. The only thing I know about him is that they uh Get upset if you don't call him the duke and just call him duke. Yes, and um different duke different duke. Yeah Toff Toff toff yes Blind little girl invents new bending tonight at nine Also, what she does to those girls is that after she's all like uh all prettied up and they're still mean to her And she just fucks their shit. Oh my god This is great. A lot of the eng comedy and humor didn't ever strike with me Yes until toff comes around and just to be like, hey, you're being a little piece of shit And you were like, oh my god toff was reading my mind Or even like the when they're in the desert flying around on oppa and she's like, there it is I'm blind Some of the blind jokes are like the best jokes of the entire series While also when I was rewatching my so be like, is that appropriate to make a blind joke? I'm like, she's blind. She's the one making it Yeah, I'm torn. I love tiley tiley's a tier villain. She becomes uh neutral or positive later I believe she becomes I mean she joins the kiyoshi warriors kiyoshi warriors. That's what I thought Yeah, she's gonna be an a then so should tiley. I think she also has that She had the ability to block chakras. Yeah, she can buy chakras. Uh mom mama zuko Mom Just a bad parent Yeah, bad parent. Yeah, we should have another tier for I mean there's a lot of tiers already But another tier for just bad parents. I feel like we have enough of them now. He's gone. He left Combustion man's probably got kids at home that he just totally straight up dipped out on avatars all about bad parents That's a microaggression chris I like that. I like that a lot. God wanshi tongue. Yeah, that mr. Owl. How many moons does it take to block out the sun? He was a he was a fun little character Saka just needed to not say what they were there for saka's the Ryuji from persona. Oh my god. You are so right Saka's a imbo put the owl be put the owl be I'll be he's a fun little character Jinfu the he's the leader of that circus that the boulders part of him and uh Toffs old teacher become bounty hunters searching for them later, right? Just preemptively put both of them in D. Why not or shit bag? I could I could see shit bag. Yeah, sure Probably also in the bad parenting list UA the moon herself She'd be she she would be see if not for what she did in the end I I definitely felt that she's won but then because she sacrifices herself. She gets bumped up So see see to be that that glow up literal glow up. Oh my god. Oh, no The biggest glow up imaginable Zhou Zhou is the first villain really right Decent villain He's the first one we see right because he he goes straight to the water tribe at the beginning They're gonna be our first villain And then Zhou is kind of the bigger bad on top of him. It's kind of like a difference in Viewing pride. Let's put it that way where it's kind of ego versus pride. Is he beer is he shit bag? Here's how we decide this do we think Zhou belongs with these other fine people? No, hell no all right You could see throughout like the entirety of book one how dogged he was at trying to like make the change of like be He's a racist. Let's put him in the ship About to defend you he said but i'm fine with that we gotta put the racist in the ship back to you. That's fine with me Nelzuko Yes That's what yeah Dante basco below s No, correct. Well, unless you agree from cora Is he higher than and some of those a k a class character? Yes. Yeah Azula would be the only one But yeah, zula's who i'm thinking because she's just a girl. She's a really really really fucking spooky good villain Yeah, valid. Okay. Okay. I would be I would be for pushing Azula up But I also understand if we're not like like it's the beginning. I put her on her ass. Let's get a villain Yeah, I think we can put her in us. Yeah, I'm happy. I'm happy You guys are now happy. I'm happy now. I'm happy now with my respect women juice that I've been drinking I got there. I said it right that time respect juice women. That damn I do respect juice women as well, but yeah, but this is not about them right now. I have my golden honeypick All right John are you ready? Sure. I'll do three two one. Then we say it. All right. Okay. All right Three two one Iroh Appa John who just told me Iroh Yeah No, I'll be You know what uncle Iroh rides Appa to golden honey to the top of the mountain The true concession he gets buff and then he goes he goes uber Illuminati by the end He's not doing that He's he's like Illuminati daddy kind of thing by the end Illuminati daddy And I'll stand by what I said earlier if there was a character in this that you want to he you want to see the prequel It's Iroh. I think that's a pretty solid list. I'm looking down I think everyone's kind of there. It was pretty good solid Yeah solid. So it's it's well done I have no major gripes. We'll see you next time Later Hey there, thanks for checking out the video While you're here go ahead and like comment and subscribe Let us know what other kind of tier lists you would want to see what other shows games anything anime related at all Uh, if you want to see more great content like that head on over to roosterteeth.com You can become a first member.
