Kyoshi being like 7 feet tall and living for 200 years was dumb as fuck and hurts the realism of the world. It's also probably the only reason they made her like girls.
>>153513044>realism of the world.hey retard its avatar.
Additionally, I don't even know why they say she's bisexual if there's no canon instances of her being with a man.
>>153513086Stories aren't real, but writers have an obligation to not break the immersion, at least.
>>153513138How is a writer gonna figure out what minor detail breaks your inmersion?There is people who can't see jewish imagery without having a tourette seizure
>>153513194Even the creators would tell you the 200 years thing was stupid. They fucked up.
Also nothing after S3 is canon, and bryke are faggot cucks.
>>153513044>hurts the realism of the worldThe first episode is about a boy with magic air powers who lived frozen in ice for 100 years.
>>153513044Wdym? Humans in our world can also be 7 feet tall and live 200 years
>>153513044Maybe she tall by asian standards.
Sozin having his first heir at 82 is really out there.Also, while not particularly weird, Iroh looks way older than his 55 years in ATLA.
>>153513728>"durrr book/show has fantastical elements!!!! so it doesn't have to make sense!!!!"nigga die. I hate when you people do this.
>>153513349People lived more in the past is settled science
>>153513086Every day this post gets more poignant.
>>153513092Bob Belcher has only been with women but he's bi
>>153514577having an abnormally long lived giant of a woman in a world full of spirits and magic is nowhere close to this, anon, come on.
I don't see how the Avatar being exceptionally superhuman damages the realism of ATLA's setting
>>153514547>>153514577the one Indian guy in the show was over a hundred years old, and he’s not even the avatar. It’s like you’re picking things out of a hat to complain about
>>153513044>>153514577>>153514547>>153513138I think the word you guys are looking for is “verisimilitude” there’s no ambiguity or double speak with it
>>153514656They have superpowers I love nitpicking like anyone else but at some you have to accept your writers want a giant a midget or an alien in their stories
>>153514591It doesnt. But its a 7 foot tall lesbian woman who was one of the most powerful avatars.It's wank for creepy middle aged women in white collar positions in the office. Not the audience.
Has anyone else noticed the uptick in threads nitpicking ATLA? It can’t just be because of the movie leaking, can it?
>>153514656No, there is. There is truth for the world of a setting and truth for the real world. So there is ambiguity. If you're gonna be a pedant we can have an autistic pedant war.
>>153514766No, it's part of the 'this character is powerful' theming. You're the one who is reading in the weirdo shit because of your personal biases.
>>153514766The lesbian thing didn't come until later thoughbeit
>>153514779En gardé
>>153514653Was patek a 200 year old 7 foot badass lesbian? Because it's really all of those things combined that make kyoshi seem like an immersion breaking OC.
>>153514770With more people waking up to the fact that Bryke are hacks that have no idea what they're doing, even the original show, which most people admit was great, is getting looked at more critically.
>>153513044I like that it feels like the kind of thing you hear about mythical heroes. Plus, King Bumi living to be at least 112 years old and still beating the shit out of people makes it more believable in the setting.Unless you also hate King Bumi being old as hell, too.
>>153514770Everyone wants that movie in theaters except Paramount
>>153514860I wonder if we can suppose that powerful Earthbenders just live naturally long lives. I wouldn't be surprised if Toph is still kicking around after a 100 or so years.
>>153514794Any male avatars over 7 foot tall buikt like a space marine with a harem of women? Any traditionally masculine characters that werent slapped down for the crime if being male and strawman mysogony?And Toph...who this board created a stone futa version of to fuck girls and applauded at her bishoujo dyke adult version.Bryke have no ideas of their own and will gladly capitulate for more money and clout to anyone who will grant it. I have every reason to believe it was a "suggestion" by a creepy hr lady. John K was right.
>>153514577How is her being 7 feet tall (and old and bisexual) in a fantasy world with superpowers as immersion breaking as a hypothetical modern car being there?
>>153514935>Any male avatars over 7 foot tall buikt like a space marine with a harem of women?King bumi wasn't an avatar, but he was ancient and still incredibly strong.
>>153514830>wtf why is the reincarnation of the spirit of light and good cool?Her being a lesbian isn’t even from the show
>>153514985The 7 foot tall lesbian AVATAR who was one of the strongest to ever live and lived 2 centuries and was always 100% correct about everything. But no tall powerful women benders or female avatars are named outside of her...or shown. Shes an exception that borders on parody.
>>153514935incredibly brown post
>>153514935Stfu
>>153515036>tall powerful women benders or female avatars are named outside of herP’li, for one. You don’t seem to know much about a series you’re supposedly invested in
>>153515036all avatars are bisexual because Wan was a gay man and Raava was a lesbian spirit
>>153514996A jokey nyuknyuk harmless old man otherwise. An exception.
Calvin and hobbes was my favorite
>third world discourse is just them copying things they see americans talk about
>>153515036Yangchen was the previous airbender avatar before Aang, and she was a woman. Kyoshi wasn't 100% right, she made the Dai Li who became pretty evil and tyrannical.After ATLA, we have korra who is another female avatar. And there's going to be female avatars in the new series.Aside from the avatar, there's also the decendants of Toph.
>>153515058>A jokey nyuknyuk harmless old man otherwise. An exception.he was only pretending to be harmless.
>>153515052The chick from Korra?>>153515057The faggotry they added later for blackrock bucks and clout. You're proving my point.
>>153514575This. Abraham lived to be like 300 or some shit
>>153515114>The faggotry they added later for blackrock bucksSchizo
>>153515086>Kyoshi wasn't 100% right, she made the Dai Li who became pretty evil and tyrannical.Which is handwaived easily as "the evil men made sonething a woman made evil".
>>153515122Actually it was only 175 years.
>>153515126There isnt a single person here who doesnt know about blackrocks influence.
The Avatar state literally binds your soul to Raava. Have you never heard the expression "too angry to die?"That's Kyoshi. She was a freak even for her time she literally split a super continent in half and then carried it thousands of miles away from the earth kingdom just to show Chin she was not to be fucked with.
>>153515139>>153515162post your hand or go away
>>153515086Yang Chen was straight. That’s why she died young
>>153515187
>>153515175And who is tgmhat character with a majority young male audience meant to appeal too?
>>153515114>The chick from Korra?Yes. She’s a tall, powerful bender. Clearly not unique to Kyoshi.
>>153513044Just head canon it as biased/propaganda/ poorly recorded history. We also have people claiming certain historical figures ruled +200 years, look at the sumerians.
>>153515216considering Kyoshi is one of the most popular avatars, the majority of the audience
>>153515216Aang
>>153515302Popular with who?
>>153515344Avatar fans. People who watched the show as it aired. She’s still popular now.
>>153515375I have not seen anyone online who mentions her who isnt part of certain groups or a paid shill.
>>153515440> I haven’t personally seen something so it doesn’t exist Just how retarded are you?
