rip the four nations

this is going to piss white people off but iroh opening up the tea shop in ba sing se is kind of crazy. like i get he is a kind wise old uncle and the closest a lot of yall have to dads but like... i hope he has a good lawyer! thats all i'll say! actually no its not the way he talked about azula is also Fucking Crazy brother that is a 14 year old girl who is Your Neice being Groomed by Your Brother. Fuck ya mean "she's crazy" you old cunt Go Get Your Fucking Brother!!!

People dislike the netflix show but one point they’re incredibly strong on is rubbing iroh’s nose in his crimes. In season 1 he is confronted with a man who experienced personal loss during the siege, and in season 2 once in the city itself he is confronted with the sheer scale of death caused by his actions (and glimpses of several visibly scarred survivors) in a way that makes him show far more remorse than they wrote in the original cartoon. They even fold the Deserter plotline into this in a way that puts the burden on him for his son’s death - his son’s commanding officer is the Deserter who fled the siege after becoming sickened by the atrocities they were committing.

more and more I’m seeing the sentiment “why would you write about (fictional character) in pain and at their lowest point???” and it shows such a fundamental misunderstanding of fiction, like as a concept
