Ostania's normalest family

The next day, at a hastily thrown together birthday party at the Forger residence:

Catch You Catch You, Catch Me Catch Me, Matte!

imagine your a normal person right? you're a therapist and your life goes on as normal. sure superheors and villains exist but it doesnt bother you.

then, you get a new patient, and whenever they explain certain things, they're very vauge about it

and then, all of a sudden, they say they trust you enough, and they're actually a superhero and since there is doctor patient confidentiality, you cant tell anyone

Then I rewatched the show, and suddenly it clicked. The author was extremely accurate. When you really think about it, there is no “war” in ATLA the way we usually imagine a war. There aren’t two equal sides fighting each other. There’s just the Fire Nation, a powerful empire that believes it’s superior, trying to conquer everyone else. And the rest of the world is basically just trying not to be wiped out. Calling that a “war” almost makes it sound fair or mutual, when it’s really one-sided violence.
