Zuko-Always-Lies

Black and white pieces are $60 and Color pieces are $85!

Two more and we are done!!

Seeing how the Aang movie treated its animators, I feel morally justified in my relief.

Seeing how the fans were treated with the theater bs adds onto point 1.

I do not trust them to write a proper script and storyline.

They were "taking inspiration from but not directly adapting" [The Search] and [Smoke and Shadow] comic trilogies? The infamous, out of character, plot contrived, melodramatic, poorly written, Azula-is-crazy-and-she-needs-to-go-down comics? Need I say more?

As noted in point 4– They do not respect, nor do I ever expect it of them, Azula's mental health and psychological needs.

Zuko, Iroh and Fire Nation glazing would have been burning hotter than Sozin's Comet.

If they included Ursa, they'd probably have to retcon the comics. There is no way to include her without it coming directly from the comics timeline. It just wouldn't fit into a ~2hr film.

Killing off the last two dragons, save Druk, makes me wonder if the writers just love exterminating oppressed groups for drama's sake. Maybe I'm reading too much into it.

Fire Nation politics. Who would rule while the Fire Siblings are off on an adventure? Iroh? These sort of "I have to go on a side quest for the hundredth time" occurrences being accepted by the Fire Nation does not make sense. It just sounds like avoidant, incompetent behavior from their leader.

Would it include Mai and Ty Lee? Would they be sidelined or stripped of their personality?

They would've either had the siblings somehow reconcile within a movie's length after nearly three decades of being arch nemesis... or, they would've stretched the conflict out and we don't get a proper resolution.

The same-face, nose-job anime artstyle haunts me. And so does manwha Zuko.

If Zuko learned lightning bending would it he through Azula? How, when and why? What would the thematic buildup be? Would he zap at a threat with it? Would morals be involved?

I'm not sure if a murder mystery plot is something the writers could pull off with this set of characters, within a movie's length. How do you handle the pacing?

I heard it included a failed assassination attempt on Iroh. And we all know how I feel about Iroh happily living his life, snorting lavender and drinking from porcelain cups.

Genre: Gen, Romance, Thriller, Angst Characters: Mai, Azula, Momo, Suki Pairings: Mai/Azula Rating: T for violence Warnings: Fire Nation-typical Homophobia, oblique references to Schrödinger's Cat Event: @maizulaweek

Special Thanks: @privatefire for the inciting idea

Summary: Ten years after Mai thinks she's cut Azula out of her life forever, an astronomically unlikely meeting brings back feelings perhaps better left buried. Also, pirates and quantum entanglement, for a very specific definition of entanglement, yo.

LMAOO unfortunately this fandom sees Azula as a 14 year old grown woman and Zuko as a 16 year old baby

The plot sounds dangerously close to a combination of the Promise and Smoke and Shadow oof

OK, so there's a lot to talk about here.

First, I really doubt the ability of Avatar Studios to write Zuko and Azula. Based on their general writing performance for the Aang movie and the specific ways that they mischaracterized Zuko, I do not think they would do well.

You also have to wonder about the comics. Would they be retconned or not? As it is, the Aang story basically had freedom to do its thing without making a decision here, but that wouldn't be really true for a Zuko/Iroh/Azula Fire Nation story. Too many critical changes were introduced in the comics for those characters.

I would assume the Zuko movie would be set about 10 years after the series, just like the Aang moive? Presumably they would also have to resolve the identity of Zuko's wife at some point, something they have been chronically disinterested in doing.

Plotwise, the premise doesn't sound very interesting, but to be fair we got almost nothing on it. Saying that "It sounds like it drew inspiration from the comics The Search and Smoke & Shadow. Since those comics were about Azula’s time in prison and eventual escape, however, it was not going to be a direct adaptation of either comic" was just a guess by Knight Edge Media.

Assuming the movie did retcon the comics, I could easily see them writing something like "Zuko has imprisoned Azula for a decade plus and then goes to her to help when he needs her," and not realize how bad that makes Zuko look. Having characters just be brutal toward Azula with zero writing awareness is a common issue both with writers and fans of the franchise.

I also would assume that if Mai or Ty Lee were in the movie, they would be depicted as very hostile to Azula.

goodrx is the most well known one, but if i'm trying to find the cheapest price for a patient i compare it to scriptcycle, and use whichever is offering the best price. you just type in the medication (PLEASE make sure you're getting the right drug, dosage, and quantity) and your zip code and they will spit out some offers for you

some pharmacies may have their own discount card to compare to as well!

if you are getting a name brand medication, you can also look at the manufacturer's website to see if they offer any evouchers for you to use too

Aang moves his arm in a circular motion causing water to wrap itself around Ozai's leg and up to his outstretched arm, whipping him around, before slamming him on top of a pillar. Aang flies forward and earthbends Ozai's hands and feet to the ground, trapping him. Helpless, Ozai watches fearfully as Aang hovers over him, his voice echoing with the fury of his predecessors. Aang: [With the voices of all previous Avatars.] Fire Lord Ozai, you and your forefathers have devastated the balance of this world, and now you shall pay the ultimate price! [Aang, under control of his past lives, combines all four elements together for his final attack. At the last second, however, he manages to regain control; he comes out of the Avatar State, lets his attack die out, and floats to the ground, freeing Ozai in the process. He now speaks in his normal voice.] No. I'm not gonna end it like this.
