Simply taking refuge is one thing, ex. the Gaang in the Western Air Temple. Actively defacing and destroying historical spaces to make way for modern “progress” and convenience can be frowned upon even here in our world, hence certain legal protections for “historic sites”.

Com todo o respeito, mas se a gente não estivesse acompanhando a historia pelo ponto de vista do Aang, vcs se importariam mesmo que um bando de refugiados de guerra estivessem violando alguns monumentos culturais pra vcs sabem....sobreviver ?

What we need to recognize is that in not killing Ozai, Aang actually defeated him twice. The Avatar State proved itself more powerful than the comet Ozai believed gave him the divine right and power to burn the world. Then Aang’s mercy proved Ozai’s entire philosophy was a lie.

Aang killing Ozai could have been the perfect ending for the show in my opinion. Aang sacrificing his own ideals for the greater good of the world would have completed his transformation into the avatar

Had Aang killed Ozai, it would have been the same as if Luke had killed Vader, or the Emperor. The battle of ideals was just as important as the battle of body. The ideal won the fight, not just the person.

Aang was a victim of a genocide. Vengeance would have been easy. It would’ve been understandable. But refusing to compromise that takes more strength and courage than killing ever would. It was Aang saying “the beliefs of my people endure. Despite your best efforts, they endure.”

What is worse for a man like Ozai? A martyr’s death, or a life of defeat? Ozai desired nothing but power, to live with both his throne and his bending taken from him is a worse fate than any death he could have had.

Like I get ATLA was a kids show on a kids network but Ozai really needed to just die man

Unrelated but this one of my fave panels out of that comic. It shows how much of a tragic hypocrite Azula ended up being 😪

While I didn’t love Ashes of the Academy I really like this moment. While it obviously wasn’t like. A secret it’s nice to hear it really acknowledged in the setting that Azula wasn’t just a crazy girl or just that way because of Ozai but because the Fore Nation itself was such —

Subsisted on the idea that people were only ever just pawns and means to ends only to find her heart broken by Mai and Ty Lee’s betrayal. I think her mental decline was just about the realization of her own fallibility as it was the betrayal itself.

Ngl I wonder if this is acc a failure on the show’s part or more a certain type of Zuko stan being unwilling to reconcile his status as a victim of abuse *and* a contributor to/benefactor from global imperialism. Seems like they’re just *pretending* not to know, sometimes.
★ Layla ★@eyredreamsOct 21
ATLA ultimately failed at the point it was trying to get across about genocide and you can see it in the fandom. Any discussion about Zukos role in the fire nations empire ends up finding its way back to his family and not how it takes SYSTEMS to wipe a group of ppl out.

As much as I think Izumi being a Firebender would be cool, I think it would be even better if she weren’t; it would be another signifier that the Fire Nation had radically changed, such that the bending hierarchy wasn’t so all consuming. She’d almost be justice for Zeisan.

Short answer; yes, very blatantly in fact. His “this isn’t about you” was not an admittance that he didn’t care, but that the decision he made needed to be made regardless of how it might’ve hurt either of them.
blot | comms open@NocturneBlotOct 20
Question : did Zuko feel guilty for hurting Mai when he left? (I've seen people use his "this isn't about you, this is about the Fire Nation" line to mean he didn't. That he expected her to be gracious and understand and gets angry that she feels hurt)

Other than Iroh, Mai was the only person he thought about when he left the Fire Nation. There’ve been lots of theories on why he didn’t confront Mai directly, but none of them are stem from an assumption that he simply didn’t care about how she would be affected by his leaving.

Sometimes I wonder why Azula was so insanely agile given that traditional Firebending training didn’t really focus on that sort of dexterity, meaning she’d would’ve had to train in of her own volition, and then I remember

Was it ever explained how Iroh was able to lay siege to Ba Sing Se for 600 days and yet the greater populace remained unaware of the war?

Like the general who was on defense during the drill knew about Iroh’s siege, noting that he was “quickly expunged” after his brief breach of the Wall. You meant to tell me none of that made it back to anyone inside even after 600 days?

Literally it’s pretty privilege what does dragon fruit bring to the table besides visual aesthetics. Dragonfruit act like it’s too good to be a fruit.
