Maki's Experiment

Your ex boyfriend is not a "narcissist". He's a typical misogynistic douchebag who treats women like shit because society allows him to.

Your boss is not a "narcissist". They're a typical classist dipshit who thinks workers' entire purpose in life is to generate profit because society allows them to.

And even if they happen to be a "narcissist", that's not what gave them the power to get away with abuse.

“And even in your case,….Though it's the toughest case I've yet to face”

“And with an assist from me, to be who you'll be Instead of dreary who you were, Well, are”

“When I see depressing creatures, With unprepossessing features” (Now remember Glinda called her the toughest case so basically she’s the most severely depressing creature)

All of this is hidden between quirky “lar’s” and “La La’s” while Glinda slides all over the floor and hangs from the ceiling at 6am to distract you from the fact that she’s being incredibly mean in the most sugary sweet way. Then she puts a flower in her hair, stares at her own reflection WITH Elphaba realizes her green is a complimentary color to her pink and then calls her “beautiful” as if they were a set, not because she thinks she’s truly beautiful as is but because she makes a good accessory. Elphaba leaves and Glinda concludes the song with

“You’ll be popular, Just not quite as popular AS MEEEEEE”

Also I want to highlight this part, it's more on the general themes of the musical

Celebrated heads of state or Specially great communicators Did they have brains or knowledge? Don't make me laugh! They were popular! Please - It's all about popular! It's not about aptitude It's the way you're viewed So it's very shrewd to be Very very popular Like me!

Again my girl is literally saying all that matters in life is being attractive and charismatic. And she even admits it's cynical (BTW, people acting like Glinda is an ingeneu when she sings shit like this)

it was unbearable to have people constantly tell me how I could be pretty if I just did XYZ, if I just fit in if I stopped dressing like that

I hate that the end of popular is upheld as a sign that Glinda truly found Elphaba beautiful because she calls her such

But after Elphaba leaves she says “you’re welcome”

Before the song she takes off Elphaba’s glasses, grimaces, and puts them back on

The whole song is basically her way of saying “You are unattractive, I can fix you”

Her jokes at Elphaba are targeted at Elphaba’s skin color, the first thing she does seeing Elphaba is scream then offer to “fix” her “problem” which visibly discourages Elphaba. Where have I heard of a white woman saying she can fix the problem of a woman of color if she just changed her?

In their fight scene she calls her “Greenie” a rather diminishing nickname based on skin color

Glinda doesnt bother to treat Elphaba with kindness until she gets into the sorcery seminar because Elphaba wanted to do something nice while the things Glinda did were selfish and mean

I love Glinda ( because she is so flawed it’s fascinating I wanna keep her in a jar)

But she quite literally refuses to change until she sees a mob gathered wanting to finally take action against Elphaba it’s not a game anymore for Glinda she no longer can just play princess, wave a wand, and smile

Now there are people wanting to murder Elphaba and ready to go do it too.

Glinda never does anything that isn’t selfish until the last song she mocks and berates Elphaba throughout school, then gets what she wants then is nice to Elphaba, then sings a whole song about how while she finds Elphaba unattractive she can fix her, then tells her too compromise her morals twice and so on

Yeah aang does have higher attack power in the avatar state and arguably more combat experience to boot in it

But he falls short hard everywhere else

Oscar is way faster being comparable to his friends and all their light speed feats

Hell we had character with lighting speed feats like aang in volume 1 oscar is faster then that by now

There's also the matter of raw physical strength if Oscar gets his hands on aang he'd tear him apart since aang is a glass canon like everyone in avatar

Speaking of aang being a glass canon that's also an issue for him oscar can tank his best attacks (without the avatar state at least) and keep going meanwhile if oscar hits aang once all his bones are gonna be shattered so hard korra would feel that and that applies to anything oscar throws at him

I also think oscar has the edge in skill mostly because unlike aang who needs to pop an ult to gain access to the past avatars strength and wisdom oscar always has access to all of ozpin combat experience and skills

Overall this is probably as close as any avatar vs RWBY match up is going to get but aang loses Oscar is to durable to strong and to fast

Oscar wins this
