>”killing genocidal dictators is le bad”Pacifism is a mental illness. Ozai needs to die for killing billions of people.
>>156266662but then you'll be a jew!
>>156266662No, baiting phonefag
>>156266662>why doesn't the 12 year old monk kill the bad guy?
>>156266671That'd be the other situations
This is fine if it's the solution but it's also an asspull which is bad. Actually I'll just ask is there any significant lead up to energy bending or is it all fans writing for the writers?
>>156266735While I agree having a proper setup for energy bending would have greatly fixed the energy bending solution I do feel that Aang simply getting his pacifistic resolution was a poor narrative arc for Aang. Aang's arcs have always been essentially showing him that his responsibilities as Avatar take precedent and he is actively punished when running from it whether it was getting frozen to begin with or getting zapped by Azula in season 2. All the Avatars told him to sack up and kill Ozai and his final resolution should have been killing Ozai and accepting his duties as Avatar. Hell Roku acts as a model of what happens when an Avatar doesn't put aside personal feelings and morals when performing their spiritual duties.
>>156266735It's pretty much all in one episode. Third season was a mess after the eclipse.
>>156266662he spends the rest of his days a loser in prisonyes, better than just executing himall dictators deserve humiliation rituals
>>156266892Shut up, seething fag
>>156266662One of the subtle things about the show is that Aang still believes the teachings of the Air Benders are 100% strict with no room to budge even though other sources say they will break or bend tradition if it's necessary.
You know, broadly speaking, how come more good guys don't just kill the bad guys when the bad guys are doing everything in their power to be assholes? Like, I can get not killing the bad guys if the bad guys aren't explicitly trying to up and kill people, or are just barreling headlong for some personal goal and injuries of innocent people happen because they don't care about collateral, but if the bad guys are busy murdering everyone they come across and destroying everything they touch and show absolutely no sign of ever even considering any other path in life, why suffer their existence?
>>156266892What if the humiliation ritual gives him a boner?
>>156266804A reoccurring thing in the show was Aang coming up with an unorthodox solution a problem. It doesn't seem that weird to bullshit a solution that doesn't kill Ozai from a larger story view. If you combine the two times Yangchen spoke to him, it makes an interesting story. The Avatar becomes closer to understanding humanity from constant rebirths, but the highest priority is the duties to the world instead of personal beliefs. But he ends up doing something that is closer to the Avatar's higher existence following his individual beliefs that previous selves lacked.
>>156266662If you seek a villain truly dead, do not look to the Avatar for the blow. Spare the Airbender, and let his mercy be the sentence.
>>156267060Crybaby
>>156266980Depends on the setting. Sometimes there is a cultural aversion to killing. Other times it is a lack of ability to do so.
>>156266675>>156266897adventuretranny is really schizophrenic
>>156267019Have Katara bend the blood out of it
>>156267079No
>>156267081That's even worse! He'll get off on it even harder!
>>156267071Any other avatar probably would've done it. Hell they might even kill Azula and her friends during the first encounter but not Aang. He's child monk holding the last of his culture which doesn't allow him to kill his enemies. At least Gyatso done under the belief in protecting his people keeping the culture alive. But Aang couldn't do it because he was the only one who can't sacrifice his belief for others.
>>156266662It's a typical case of westerners don't understanding Buddhismhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzhAwIZ37YU
>>156266735Nah it really is an asspull. The general concept though is something that could fit in universe though. The idea that people moved the energy within their bodies, then developed the bending styles based on this basic principle by watching nature.My rewrite to the series would have been to introduce it earlier via The Guru character, as he works as someone who would know about it given the chakra opening was arguably already it and it was weird they never brought him back after Ba Sing Se. Have Aang go back to him to try and unlock the avatar state again, get told he fucked up real bad, and then have the Guru explain the only hope for him to untangle his chakra is to learn how to manually move the energy within his body himself. Could even have the Guru drop that he could theoretically energybend Aang to undo it himself but it would be extremely dangerous to both of them and would put him at high rsk of entirely losing all his bending so the Guru doesn't want to try it. Then have Aang be trying to learn energybending in the background for the rest of the series, with his big breakthrough being during or just before the fight with Ozai. Fixes 2 asspulls for the rpice of one as he can then re-unlock the avatar state in a more natural way and then taking away Ozai's bending is him applying what he learned and thinking back to what the Guru said energybending was capable of.
>>156267413I'm sure about the specifics of your version which seems too explicit about the solution, but having Pathik involved in the process of figuring this out seems like a great idea.
>>156266662Not Aang's job.
>>156266980Holdover from a lot of previous eras restrictions.We veer from Brothers Grim fairytales with mass casualties and witches getting shoved the fuck in the oven, to NOBODY DIES nonsense holding the bakers dozen repeat escape serial killer in a milk crate.Personally I'd buy comic book bullshit more if there was a far more serious consequence for breaking out.
>>156266662>Ozai needs to die for killing billions of people.why? will it bring those billions of people back to life?
>>156266897Never, going to bed sperg.
