Discussion I finally rewatched ATLA since 2008 and I can’t help but feel that Aang was kinda sidelined while Zuko was given more development and attention in the final episodes of Book 3

14 Upvotes

Why was that?

I never noticed that before, but a few narrative choices in the final stretch of Book 3 really stood out to me. While Zuko’s redemption arc is masterfully written, it feels like it inadvertently sidelines Aang and creates some jarring shifts in character dynamics.

I know it makes sense since they need to establish that Zuko has changed and he needs to clear his name for the people he hurt before and I’m glad they took their time to develop this line, but during the Sozin’s Comet it almost feels as if Zuko becomes the main character while Aang has to figure out the Ozai thing by himself.

The team gets to reunite with the White Lotus members, meet with Iroh and hear out his plan all while seems as if Zuko is in charge. He has a lot more lines than Aang and more interactions with the Gaang than Aang himself. Sure, meanwhile Aang is supposed to be solving his moral dilemma but personally I’m not a fan of separating him from the group at the end when he should feel the support of his loved ones.

I also can't shake the feeling that the final Agni Kai between Zuko and Azula was way more emotionally charged, it was absolutely cinematically stunning, and arguably the best-written fight in the entire series. And the way Katara outsmarted Azula at the end? Top notch fight strategy, tremendously brilliant. Aang vs Ozai felt a bit… too much like a DBZ-style beam struggle rather than the thematic and martial arts depth that made the show's fights so iconic. Even SokkaSukiToph’s plan to take all the airships down was inventive one way or another. All that while Aang’s secret to defeat Ozai was unfortunately a deus ex machina in the form of a Lion Turtle granting him spiritual abilities that were never mentioned before the finale.

Now the thing that baffles me the most is Katara’s feeling towards Aang. Before the Eclipse Katara was always affectionate towards Aang, interacted with him a lot and made sure he’s feeling alright. Their mutual feelings were clear - the cave kiss, the fire nation dance, her interpretation of Auntie Wu’s marriage prophecy, etc.

Suddenly after the Eclipse she’s confused? Their interactions became rare, they don’t console each other anymore. From the Sourhern Raiders episode on she interacts mostly with Zuko, comforts him and even fights Azula together with him? Katara doesn’t even get to see Aang take on the most important fight of his life, while Sokka, Toph and even Suki all witnessed it from afar. The Ember Island Players episode only made this tension between them worse.

Now I’ve read that Katara and Aang were always supposed to be endgame but I’ve also read unsupported claims that they wanted to add more tension between them by feeding the Zutara shippers?

Was this all caused by Zuko’s popularity among the fans? I only started browsing ATLA forums way after the finale so I’m not sure what the situation was like before that.

I’m certain this probably was talked about in the span of 18 years since the show’s ending but I kinda didn’t feel like digging through the old discussions, sorry for that.

Discussion What if the 100 years war was actually only 15 years and the world was at peace when Aang was defrosted from the ice 100 years later?

1 Upvotes

Rewatching ATLA and I was pondering what if Aang was defrosted by Katara and Sokka like usual, BUT, what if...->

Aang was under pressure and ran away, caught in a storm and froze in the ocean for 100 years. During his disappearance, The Fire Nation attacked and wiped out the airbenders during Sozan's comet. The other nations responded and did their best to weather the conflict. After 15-20 long years, all the airbenders were caught and killed. The Southern water tribe did their best but are a shell of what once was. The Earth Kingdom lost some land to the Fire Nation and new colonies were established and the Northern Water Tribe was largely untouched.

The world then comes to an agreement, The Fire Nation have proven their might and what they accomplished and conquered was theirs to keep. Peace ensues (perhaps other unrelated minor conflicts here and there) and 80-85 years later, Aang, the last airbender is discovered and slowly comes to terms with the new world.

What does he do now? He has no land to call his own, no family or monks to return to? What story would ATLA tv show be about?

I figured two possibilities, 1. Roku reaches out during the solstice and warns the fire nation is up to its old tricks again, then resume the tv series but as the world is currently experiencing peace, we are never certain conflict is on the horizon until the grand finale.

  1. the next comet comes and goes, the world still has peace, and aang grows up an orphan and eventually tries to start a family (kinda like what unfolded ahead of ALOK). He passes on his teaching to airbender kids and hopes they continue to try and rebuild the Air Nation and there is no ultimate conflict that drives his growth, ambition and connection to the new world.

Discussion Why does people said Kyoshi was not a good Waterbender?

0 Upvotes

I saw a lot of people not just here on reddit but in so many media platform downplayed and talking about Kyoshi not being a good waterbender and their argument was her forgetting she was a waterbender twice on two different ocassion which is funny to me since F.C Yee himself said that Waterbending is the second element after Earthbending that she got the most improvement from.This is some of her Waterbending feats from both books;

Water Propulsion (Canals) – Kyoshi waterbent a makeshift raft upstream through Ba Sing Se's drainage canals, using them as a fast shortcut to the Agrarian Zone.

Water Bubble Propulsion – While trapped underwater with Jinpa, Kyoshi created a rolling water bubble that rapidly carried both of them to the surface.

Underwater Burst Speed – After diving toward Yangchen's island, Kyoshi remembered to waterbend and propelled herself underwater faster than an elephant koi.

Full Moon Tidal Wave (with Kirima) –Empowered by the full moon, Kyoshi supplied the raw power while Kirima controlled it, lifting a massive body of water onto a rooftop before unleashing it through the compound. The tidal wave flooded entire corridors, swept guards from their posts, and burst through multiple walls before they released the water.

Wave & Ice – Kyoshi snapped a ship's mooring ropes, created a river-wide wave that carried it about 100 yards offshore, then instantly froze the wave into giant talons of ice that suspended the ship in midair.

Freeze lungs– Kyoshi instantly froze Yun's heart and lungs solid, creating a tunnel of ice through his chest so quickly and powerfully that the moisture in the air behind him crystallized into frost.

Self-Healing – Despite lacking formal healing training, Kyoshi used waterbending to heal the wound on her neck, knitting her skin back together without the usual healing glow.

Basic Battlefield Healing – Kyoshi used waterbending to stop bleeding, treat superficial injuries, and reset dislocated joints on wounded allies using her limited healing knowledge.

Life-Saving Healing – Kyoshi stabilized Rangi after she was impaled, using waterbending healing to help save her life.

Mind you the the water bubble and the underwater burst speed was after the moment she remember she was a waterbender.Yeah I know she still didn't master Water at this point and the healing didn't glow but for her to be able to achieve all of these feats are impressive and just ignoring all of these because of her forgetting doesn't sit right with me.What do you guys think?

I got this adorable upper stuffy at the Denver fan expo this summer, he came with a small Aang whom he was licking and hugging, but in addition to Aang's collar flipping up all the time he has two right hands and it was bothering me more and more so I decided to use the seam cutter and free him from appa's grasp so that Appa could then love on multiple other fandom characters as the whim takes me. 😆🤗

Discussion Theory: Iroh Wasn't Originally Going to Be Ozai's Brother

0 Upvotes

I have a theory that Iroh wasn't originally going to be Zuko's uncle, but rather a general with no relation to the royal family who ends up seeing Zuko as a surrogate son. The reason? I have two points:

  1. Ozai and Iroh never interact on screen despite being brothers.

  2. Iroh doesn't have the letter Z in his name (which is odd because it's a characteristic of the royal family and heirs to the throne). Sozin, Azulon, Ozai, Zuko, Azula, and Izumi.

I also think the creators and writers had to create the scene of Azulon stripping Iroh of his right to the throne after Lu Ten's death to justify why Iroh is older than Ozai despite not being the heir. I have a theory that Ozai was originally created to be the legitimate heir and firstborn (or only son), while Iroh was just a kind-hearted general and Zuko's "adoptive" uncle, and later the creators and writers decided to make them brothers. I also believe they used Lu Ten's death to justify Iroh's goodness and redemption despite being Azulon's son and Ozai's brother, and that the character originally didn't have a dark past. I also think Lu Ten was originally created to explain why Iroh saw Zuko as a surrogate son after losing his own.

Discussion Hama is the perfect example of a water bender

109 Upvotes

When Iroh was teaching Zuko how to redirect lighting, he used / took techniques from the waterbenders. When describing waterbenders he quotes how theyre adaptable to change,

Hama was able to adapt to being chained up by developing bloodbending, and even after that she was able to hide amongst fire benders

but i do have a question, whos the best example for the other bending?

Discussion Roku doesn't get enough slander?

4 Upvotes

In my opinion, it's a fair observation for both the show and the community. The show has several scenes where Aang is blamed for 100 year war. Kyoshi is blamed for her rightful retaliation against warmongering earth general and for creation of Dai Li (apparently she should have seen them becoming corrupt after hundreds of years). But in my opinion the only actual avatar who Failed the Avatar's grand mission is Roku.

Well, he learns of Sozin's aggressive plans. What does he do? Dethrones him and establishes new rule, to show firmly that his ambition is unacceptable? Establishes an independent institution to oversee Fire nation monarchy so there are at least some checks and balances (that's how Dai Li were created and for decent amount of time they fulfilled their mission well enough)? Personally oversees Fire Nation's rule, making sure warmongers and supremacists have no place in elite and army? No. He does nothing. Oh, sure. He threatens the fire lord with very big and strong display of power. And then goes for the rest of his life on some island to live a happy pastoral life with his wife, not even making sure to keep in good enough fighting form. And in the ends he dies miserably and leaves the world for next 18 years without the fully capable avatar and absolutely unprepared for Sozin.

And not a single character, for what I know, calls him out. Calls him a traitor, or a fool, or a failure (depends on speaker's perspective) for what he have done, or, mostly, for what he have not done. How does he get away so easily?
