to this day i cannot BELIEVE aang called up and blew off like nine avatars just because they didnt offer any vegan options to ending the war

pikameme-dayo

roku: my best friend assaulted me as a senior citizen :(

kyoshi: sometimes some murder is OK

kuruk: just punch people that disagree with you

aang: okay i’m starting to think that none of you took this avatar thing seriously

teeveew

You're not wrong

aboutiroh

Aang when he is told he’s the Avatar at age 12: *has a melt down because he understands the seriousness of this function and the consequences his new responsibilities will have on his personal life*

other Avatars at age 16: I’m the avatar? Cool! Hey look it comes with a glowing eyes feature!

aviculor

aang: fuck this noise, i’ll get advice from the last air nomad avatar

yangchen: i gave up that hippie bullshit first chance i got, i love murder

hedge-rambles

I will never not laugh at the bit where Aang is like "finally, an Air Nomad, you get me, right?" and Yangchen just says "sorry bud, I also vote murder".

A close second on that note is of course the trial of Kyoshi in which she manifests in the courtroom just to say "Actually, I did murder him and I'd do it again. But consider: the bitch had it coming".

#tbh I think there's something to be said for the fact that Aang was 12 when he ran away from home#and how there's more than a bit of evidence that the adult airbenders had a less strict pacifistic approach#Aang was purposefully sheltered by Gyatsu to protect his childhood and so he has the ethics of a child#and when he awoke there were no other air nomads around to sit him down and have The Violence Talk#about how yes we're pacifists and murder is bad but there are exceptions#like Gyatsu was a kindly man of the highest order but uh#he didn't just lay down and die on a pile of skulls he just found#man went out taking like 20 fire nation soldiers with him#Aang: ''I could never kill! Gyatsu taught me to abhor all forms of violence“”#Gyatsu: deals out death to attacking soldiers like he's got a side hustle as a claymore mine

And the fact that he figures out a more technically complex and socially stable way to remove Ozai without making him a martyr just shows that he has a lot more skill at the problem at hand than most the previous ones.

To me, that whole scene was very much the previous avatars saying “when all you have is a hammer” and Aang going “okay, but what can I do with this Swiss Army knife?” and they don’t give very useful advice about it.

tamer-of-jabberwocks

Personally I also don't think the prior Avatars were all that helpful, but they weren't all saying murder was okay. Aang's there asking for help with Avatar skills because he'd had so minimal training, maybe there's something in the toolbox he doesn't know how to use yet, but they're all trying to make him comfortable with using the hammer he already has and knows how to use. What they were saying was what they thought he needed to hear, based on what they regretted most from how they'd acted as Avatars, and what they thought was most needed here.

Roku regretted not killing Sozin specifically because it gave him the opportunity to come back and kill him, then the Air Nomads. His lack of decisive action led to a lot of tragedy, and so his advice was to make sure whatever he did, make sure it was permanent, or Ozai would come back.

Kyoshi regretted not moving sooner on the threat of Shin the Conqueror and waiting until he was at the very edge of Kyoshi Peninsula before actually doing anything. She allowed a lot of destruction on the continent because she didn't move fast enough. Her advice is to move swiftly instead of allowing Ozai more time to act.

Kuruk basically did nothing as Avatar by his own admission and basically just said that Aang had to do something, and not to back off of his responsibilities because it was hard.

Yangchen is complicated because, well, she isn't talking about one of her own regrets. She's the one trying to give the 'Violence is sometimes necessary' talk to Aang, because she's the best person to tell him his duties as Avatar have to outweigh his duties as an Airbender. Arguably she is the one telling him to murder Ozai, but personally I read that as more 'you need to do what's right for the world, and I am giving you permission to break our cultural rules to do that. Because I am the only person you can ask for absolution.'

They were all trying to offer him spiritual guidance and support, but Aang wasn't looking for emotional support here, he was looking for solutions. Because he had already decided he wouldn't kill Ozai. No advice or absolution was really going to change that he already knew he wouldn't do it.

#this is a perfect addition#they were trying to be advisors#but aang didn't need guidance at that moment#he needed answers#ironically they all gave guidance that aang had needed and could really have used earlier in his journey#but that he already had learned via his travels#important lessons to be had but not what aang needed in that moment#being swift and decisive to act#and not hesitating or taking half measures#or blowing off duties#these are important lessons to learn for an avatar#and yangchen clearly tried to help aang come to terms#with the dichotomy between being a monk and being the avatar#her words on why he can't separate himself from the world like other monks because of his duty to the world#is actually very important for his future growth i think#but they didn't give him the answers he needed#he knew he needed to stop ozai#but he also knew he couldn't look him in the eye and kill him#aang is actually being really mature in that moment#because he knows he can't face an enemy and kill them#and he's trying to find a path to victory despite that#and he keeps looking for that path#despite all options seeming to say there is none#and his persistence is rewarded when he asks the lion-turtle#who teaches him energybending

This, and also I think it provides the lesson of "the adults/elders in your life/community don't have all the answers for every situation. Sometimes you have to find your own answer, and sometimes the answer can be found with someone else, and it is absolutely okay to keep asking to find the solution to your problem. You're not disrespecting anyone or being arrogant; you know your problem better than anyone, and it is your life and your conscience, and only you can decide what's best for it. If the only advice people have for you is to act in a way that contradicts your own values, it probably is wrong for you, and if these are indeed your deeply-held beliefs, you need to hold on to them and instead try to find a way to confront your problem in a way that does not go against those values. Most of our regrets come from letting ourselves act in ways that contradict our inner system of morality. You have every right to act to avoid moral injury, even if what avoids moral injury for you would be a cause of it in others."

nyxelestia

And this is a little retroactive since the ATLA novels came later, but Yangchen DID have regrets. She tried to Be The Avatar the Right™ way and it just didn't work. Then she started politicking, spying, manipulating, blackmailing, etc., and that actually worked really well! ...but sometimes too well, because she also sometimes got people hurt or killed. Killing Ozai is a very big ethical and moral quandry for Aang, and every Avatar he spoke to tackled a different thread of that giant knot. The one Yangchen tugged at was the question of what point the ends stopped justifying the means...and what one can or should do until that point. Also, I haven't seen the finale in a while so I may be wrong, but iirc none of the previous Avatars technically told Aang to kill Ozai? They did all talk about things like decisiveness, permanence, embracing violence when necessary, etc. -- which, in the context of what Aang was asking them in the first place, certainly come off as sounding like condoning killing Ozai. But unless I'm really misremembering the finale (again, entirely possible), none of them actually, explicitly, and specifically said Aang HAD to kill Ozai, or that Aang only solution was Ozai's death. All of them, in different ways, turned out to be right.

clotpolesonly

you're not misremembering. they told him to be decisive and proactive and not to prioritize his own personal feelings over the well-being of the world he's been given stewardship of, but none of them told him outright that he needed to kill Ozai.

he did not disregard any of the advice he got. in the end, Aang met the challenge head on instead of avoiding it, he acted with confidence and resolve instead of hedging his bets or being wishy washy, and he succeeded in finding a way to defeat Ozai that safeguarded the world and its peoples, gave them all the best possible chance for peace moving forward, AND did not compromise his own morals or the ethical teachings of the culture that he is the last remaining practitioner of.

because that's the part a lot of people, the other avatars included tbh, don't take into consideration enough. that Aang is not just an airbender and a monk, but the last airbender, the last monk, the last person alive who practices the culture that he was raised in. the culture that Ozai and his line intentionally wiped out, the one that Ozai continues to malign throughout their fight. Ozai says that Aang's beliefs make him weak and that weakness like that doesn't deserve to exist. to have betrayed those beliefs by killing Ozai would have served to finish Ozai's work for him.

Aang had an extra responsibility, as the survivor of a genocide and the carrier of his people's memory and legacy, that the other avatars never had. that was an experience about which that they could never advise him. they gave him advice from their own perspectives, and Aang heard that advice, took it into consideration, synthesized it with the reality of his own unique experience and position, and came to a conclusion that respected all of them at once.

any other ending would not have been thematically resonant or half as satisfying.

star wars fans love to throw around the term unconditional love, but they actually hate it, just saying. padme and luke are the characters who embody unconditional love in the story, yet they are constantly called naive idiots, who didn't know what they were doing, especially padme

mirrorofliterature

OP's tags [as always they're gems!]:

#padme and luke never encouraged the bad things anakin did but they were definitely not blind to them either #padme and luke loved anakin unconditionally no matter what path he would choose #but they didn't want him to choose the path of evil and made it clear that they wouldn't follow him if that's what he chooses #at the same time believing that anakin could always turn away from this path because they knew that this was not what he needed or wanted #what is that approach if not the healthiest way to approach anakin's situation? #both offered anakin a way out of the situation he was stuck in on the condition that he leave the wrong path #they had conditions to be with them; they didn't blindly let him in their lives but their love was fully unconditional #as they made it clear that they would fight for him and believe in him and his inner goodness until the end #compare this to obi-wan's approach who gave up on anakin and decided that he simply needed to be killed #because anakin failed to live up to obi-wan's expectations of being their the chosen one #because he's 'more machine now than man; twisted and evil' and vader isn't anakin therefore anakin is dead #whose approach ultimately won anakin back to the side of good? It certainly wasn't obi-wan's #as he advised luke to give up and not hold out hope that his father could become a better person

#anakin skywalker #padme amidala #luke skywalker #yeah well said #(but I will never believe obi wan gave up on anakin that is simply not my truth)
