The thing I like about Aang so far is the same thing I like about Peter Parker. Yeah, he's gotta do hero stuff. Yeah it takes noble sacrifice. But he's not going to put away his desire for a normal life and having fun to do so. He's always fighting for that part of his life.pic.twitter.com/pxfUDWkjbI
The Great Divide: the problem with anytime you're doing a "waring peoples trapped in endless cycle of violence" is that it A) inherently becomes a metaphor for real life examples where B) the solutions of "you're both being idiots!" simply can't be dragged out of entrenched cost
and this matters because often C) it is a solution that is never afforded or understood to the main thrust of the other war plotlines in these same shows. The fire and earth kingdoms aren't going to be hit with a "you're both being idiots!" solution, cause that's not what it is.
Anyway, that's the reason those episodes tend to suck in tv shows. It's false, reductive, and oft patronizing moralization for something that usually driven by more complex human behavior (that these same shows are often down to explore in other ways).
At least the episode had Wilford Brimley in it.pic.twitter.com/edggzI2Hzz
The Storm: "things will never return to normal." Oof. Aang and Zuko's mutual backstory episode is so beautifully done. You have the inkling as to these events, but when the details are made clear it is far more haunting and empathy-invoking than you can imagine.
For all the imagery and allusions to storms / cycles / repetitions, really it's about quelling the storms that rage within, letting ourselves evolve from the moments where we once froze, to moments we can now glide on air... All with killer funny lines and delivery along the way.
Onto Day 3! Note 1: if you ain't interested in Avatar, please feel free to mute the thread if you haven't already! Note: 2: Gonna keep this up because a lot of you havin fun, but good granola please do not talk about future episodes. This should be clear!
If I haven’t seen the show yet but plan to at some point in the future, would you recommend I mute this thread?
probably smart if you're def gonna!
