The lesson of avatar was never “killing bad people makes you just as bad as them” it was “you cannot be letting fascists dictate what counts as a win or loss” guys like come on it’s been 20 years

Katara doesn’t forgive Yon Rha and hug him and dry him off and walk him home she leaves him scared and sniveling and crying in the mud but she leaves him alive because she realized in that moment that she was only doing this because she felt like she had to. She hates this man, therefore she should want to kill him, right? The narrative isn’t saying wow Katara killing a mass murdering fascist dickwad is just as bad as said dickwad killing an innocent wife and mother during a raid on her home, it’s saying wow isn’t it fucked up that this little girl has been forced to carry this deep seated anger in her for most of her life to the point where the only outlet she believes she has for it is killing a man in cold blood? And like… yeah! That is pretty fucked!

#if someone shouted something racialized at a food service worker and he pulled swords#if be like ‘yeah that’s fair’

not gonna judge it till it's out but does the new avatar show sound really really boring to anyone else

Honestly the moment I saw the premise that it was set in a post apocalyptic setting that killed ALL interest for me. Avatar the Last Airbender was a show about hope above all and everything they’ve done after it just highlights how Everything Is Still Terrible. Really spits in the face of the original in my humble onion
