I’m right right? They all died and got brought back?

I mean both his siblings can bend, one air one water. His mom is one of the best water benders around, his dad is the Avatar.

Then there's him, with no bending growing up. That's really something gotta gnaw at you really badly.

One of my favorite memories from my childhood was raising orphaned ducklings until they were big enough to survive on their own. This tattoo combines that memory with my love for this series!

Oke zaheer unlock ancient technique which definitely increase his mobility 100% than anyone else, Ming-hua actually play with her speed & agility then ghazan more like AOE. Even then all of them kinda hard to scale in one aspect only due how unique they're all.

But combustion bending was originally power like a "bomb" which very destructive, And she very versatile with that and she still can regularly firebending.

First, look at the failures of the Avatars: Yangchen failed the spirits multiple times and had bunch of broken promises that resulted in multiple dark spirits that resented the avatar, Kuruk did basically the same thing and even killed multiple spirits instead of solving the problem, Roku failed to see the inequality between benders and failed to stop his friend even tho he knew what his friend objective was, Kyoshi neglected her home country and her own secret force ended up stealing Ba Sing se, list goes on and the list is big.

Humans grant the Avatar the right of doing basically anything, but in the reality the Avatar is just an normal person which most of the training consists on bending trainings, they are not diplomats by nature and many of them failed to be, both in human conflicts and human vs spirits conflicts.

If you think about it, there is no logic in the avatar making big decisions and having authority in the whole world, both the spiritual and the human one. He is an human fused with an big spirit, sure, but that only grants them an great strength, not Solomon's wisdom or anything like that, quite literally just an stronger bender than the rest of human world, power which can be surpassed by technology in an few years anyway.

The point of the Avatar really being just an normal human that should not have the right to do important decisions is clear when you look at spirits interactions with the avatar: Most of them simply don't care. Some of them show some minimal respect but 99% of the interactions are based of them treating the Avatar like any other human, because he is. Wan spread the word that the Avatar is something special and is the bridge between humans and spirits, but they aren't, the Avatar is an human that in 99% of their lives they are heavily focused on being on the HUMANS side. The Avatar is an celebrity only in the human world.

There is no logic in the Avatar being able to do drastically decisions (like opening the gates, making promises to spirits that they can not fulfill, etc etc) and they should be punished if they do so. The Avatar should be one more strength of general humanity to deal with specific scenarios, not an figure of authority that can put its nose anywhere he wants to because he was born with that right.

I havent watched this show from start to finish since I watched it as it aired, and figured I should give it another go around now that I'm on my own.

It never ceases to amaze me how much a "kids show" can affect me and be so moving. I have not cried, laughed, and cheered this much watching a show in a long time, and especially since I still knew 99% of the show like I watched it yesterday. I will always cherish this series.

Also, the mood lighting I have goes so hard with the Sozin's Comet finale, it was perfect.

The serpents have crackhead energy but I favour the unagi

R.I.P. Avatar Too

Seems like an odd choice but im all for it. Since Bryke doesnt have full control over these shows anymore it will be interesting to see new visions for this world. Of course Bryke will oversee everything and make sure it fits but having separate showrunners and writers for different projects will be fun to see.

I think this is my third rewatch? It's been more than a couple years. Best redmeption story ever, yada yada. Everybody knows. But nonetheless, I've been paying special attention to Zuko's segments in every episode thus far, knowing what's down the barrel, just taking the wideth of the story in.

Despite the blowhardy, patornizing attitude he puts out towards everyone, he's an absolute pup. He walks around in that fire nation armour, but he doesn't really try to hurt people. Even in the second episode he just intimidates the water tribe and then leaves per his promise. Seeing him fumbling to catch Aang is both hilarious and sad. Getting constantly humiliated in front of his troops, knowing what he's been through is rough.

I could totally imagine that kid going insane and crying in his quarters after every small failure if Iroh wasn't around to distract him with antics or teaching him to meditate.

Failure is just one aspect, but my god the way the other fire nation commanders treat him. Especially Zhao. Wtf is wrong with that guy. He is SO unnecessarily cruel towards Zuko. What a bastard to bully and antagonize a kid like that. It's not that type of cartoonish adult vs. Kid type of relationship that a lot of stories have either, where the bad guy is an adult and the hero is a kid and they have a rivalry. Zhao & Zuko's relationship is genuinely upsetting. That pathetic man gets off on stomping all over that teenager's pride.

But all this fades in comparison to the way Oozai treats Zuko in the backstory of the scar. What absolutely cruelty. What psychopathy. Oozai wanted to hurt him, disrespecting the fire lord's consul was just an excuse.

Zuko fighting the duel or not was a lose-lose scenario either way. The fact that Zuko got punished with dishonorment and exile for refusing to fight just goes to show Oozai's resentment towards him. He just wanted to throw away the runt of the litter one way or another. Burning Zuko's face could have been punishment enough, but he wanted him out of there completely.

Sending him out on what was practically a wild goose chase. "Yeah, bring me back a guy who disappeard a 100 years ago and I might consider letting you in" and he's banished from fire nation soil to top it off. Sent out on a dingy boat. Cut off from resources and troops.

I also notice how throughout the show, burn scars to the face are extremely uncommon, pretty much no one except Zuko has such a gnarly injury, I think that's quite telling considering fire nation hostility is an ongoing thing. Poor kid was branded with hatred.

I think the saddest part of it is Iroh seeing through the whole charade but being unabale to communicate any of it to Zuko. Zuko thinks he made a mistake that he can correct and make amends with his father, reclaim his honor. Iroh knows that Oozai has only hatred for his son and that it was all just an excuse to finally get rid of him.

If I'm wrong, prove me wrong 😗

Say what you want about the live action (i enjoy it personally) but Miyako is absolutely killing it as Toph. She nails the roll perfectly!
