You have to let go and for an air bender that’s pretty easy to do katara and sokka filled the void of his people
why'd you have to post this pepe with the glasses though?
you know why
Probably how he’s coping
The only coping is from ATLA fanboys lol
>is allowed to make his case
>said case is just saying "cope"
>MUH ECHO CHAMBER
Nah I go on vacation activities shortly after suffering major losses too. It's coping/post-coping mechanism
And how many times has your hometown been genocided?
Once
The show wasn't made to be marathoned.
>show shows how Aang is a carefree individual capable of quickly dealing with setbacks and trauma
>nerds mad, more news at 11
It's not like he just forgets about it either, it's a major theme during the entire show.
That sounds terrible for a character to develop
No wonder no one cares about him
Don't bother arguing with these:
anons. This entire website is full of sociopathic gays who don't experience emotion and adopt a "doomer" mindset and see everything as black or white because they never realized progression isn't linear and decided their life was over forever at 15
>nooooo this are our echo chamber. no mean things about my cartoon.
Actually it was at 17
>>show shows how Aang is a carefree individual capable of quickly dealing with setbacks and trauma
Actually it's smarter than that. Aang is doing what his airbender training tells him to do; avoid the problem rather than face it head on.
The show definitely doesn't hold up to scrutiny for reasons like this, Ozai being a generic villain, etc... but it resonated with me as a kid so I give it a pass in a lot of ways.
Ozai being a one note villain is a good thing and 100% necessary for the plot of the show.
Avatar is able to be episodic whilst also having a well paced overarching story because of the premise of a world destroyed by war.
Ozai needs only to be the bag guy to be destroyed, to be the nexus of crisis and origin of storms.
Also given the show's light hearted nature, if Ozai was made more complicated than he couldn't be defeated directly, it wouldn't be in tone with the series if Ozai was a genuinely misguided person who suffers for his mistakes.
idk, I'm not forming this argument well, but the point is that Ozai is a plot devise, and that's fine.
He's just the generic, power hungry, brainless type of villain whom has the rest do the thinking for him while he jacks off on the throne, lame as frick.
Well the show isn't about Ozai, Ozai is hardly in the show at all.
The show already had fantastic villains, Ozai is mostly just a plot guy.
I really don't think the show would be benefitted at all by making him a more complex character.
By nature of his role he can't be the focus of an episode or interact with any of the main characters outside Azula and Zuko (and outside of Zuko turning away from Ozai, none of those interactions are interesting.)
It would be a real waste of time to do shit involving Ozai, who can't interact with our favorite characters nor really do anything plot wise other than be the villain, when they could and did just spend time on more interesting characters.
>Ozai is hardly in the show at all
That's because Bryke wanted to keep "muh mystery big bad" but when he ACTUALLY showed up, he didnt live up to his reputation.
>interact with any of the characters
I hardly dissagre, not interacting with any of the characters is what makes him such a non-character and you can make scenarios to do so, like him visiting Iroh at his cell along a flashback of their youth and maybe further explanation onto why Iroh never challenged his reign despite having enough reputation to do so due to his campaigns at Ba Sing Se.
O you dont even need an episode centered about him but perphaps with Azula for example, whom we only saw her POV on the first and final episode of S3. Honest, the only impression I ever got from the technical boss of Iroh, Azula, Zuko, Mai etc is wonder onto how such a palace rat didnt get dispossed off earlier.
>airbendibg is literally about letting go and Aang is a master
>moron asks why doesn't Aang have a hangup over something bad he learned about previously
A recurring character trait of Aang is that he just doesn't know how to handle negativity, he bottles up his feelings then breaks down when it's too much to ignore.
>smile through the pain, Aang
>smile through the pain
Tbf he only cared/gave a frick about that Monk which casually at the same time was the only non-corrupt one or some shit like that, we dont even know whom were the biological parents of Aang.
One of the largest problem's with Avatar: The Last Airbender is how it really glosses over the Air Genocide and how that would effect Aang.
Because of the show being made for kids, and the writers not wanting to devote a huge portion of the show to Aang dealing with the loss of his people, it's really understated in a way which is pretty jarring.
While that it bad, it also might be necessary. At least to some extent. To realistically portray Aang's grief over his entire culture and everyone he ever knew and cared for being murdered, Aang would have to spend the whole show dealing with that fact. Which would have been less interesting than the show we got.
>Which would have been less interesting than the show we got.
Not sure I agree
>lust provoking image
Anon?
The whole of the show was like this, episodes of "Oh noes we have to get to X before time runs out and the Firelord does his evil!" intercut with the Gaang just dicking around for no reason whatsoever, or side-tracking into unimportant shit.
Then final season is "OH SHIT WE ARE OUT OF TIME, TOO MUCH PRESSURE!".
But le episodic structure is le fun
I'm guessing it was because of executive meddling. ATLA HAD to be made so that it also could be played on random repeats yet still be narrative driven. So it leads to jarring moments like this where a character is mourning at the end of one episode and status quo jolly the next.
