The Earth Kingdom did it.
I can believe it. Who likes air more than fire?
Meanwhile, you know who hates air? Fucking rocks.

Anyway I have no fucking idea what this thread is about but apparently airbenders keep pretty well in the freezer so I dunno why they didn't just go with that. Like imagine if someone started bringing meatsicles down from Everest and they all just thawed out and started walking around. You'd be like: man, I wish we'd tried that sooner, but it's pretty understandable that we didn't.

The thought of Aang sliding down the mountain of top of a frozen airbending monk ala Omashu has me rolling.

This image right here is why Aang's refusal to kill Ozai annoys me. Not even Aang's own teacher was a pacifist when it mattered and the Monk elders wanted Aang to train because a war was brewing and needed an Avatar.

Like what the past Air nomad Avatar said, Aang should have put the lives of the world over his own values because Avatar duties come first. That Lion Turtle deus ex machina only comes out so Aang won't have to compromise his morals while saving the world.
 
The real kicker is that the Fire Nation airships were invented way after the alleged genocide. So how exactly did they reach all the air temples? Wake up, Llamasheeple.
With Dragons, son.
They hiding some hatchlings for a long time after the teaching of those.

Aang also killed like 4000 people (assuming an average compliment of about 500 people or so per cruiser/battleship, even if its smaller he still drowned several dozen warships worth of people) during the water finale when he drowned the fire nation battleships. Is that ever adressed anywhere in complimentary material?

I wish someone would call the author out on misappropriating Tiberian religion and making it homo friendly.
This is unironically one of the few examples of actual cultural misappropriation of an extant culture that's already facing unironic genocide.

The original avatar went out of its way to (at least attempt) to pay respect to the stuff it was drawing inspiration from with martial arts consultants and trying not to step on anyone's toes too hard. Korra dumbing down bending into boxing was already a downgrade but this is just egregious, Korra genuinely does not give a shit.

Like Vaatu and Raava. They are clearly supposed to be Yin and Yang, except the whole point of Yin and Yang is that that they are both balanced, Yang isn't good and Yin isn't evil, having an imbalance of either is bad and having a balance of both is good. Raava existing without Vaatu (according to the actual chinese phlisophy they're aping) is supposed to be just as catastrophic as Vaatu existing without Raava.

But even ontop of that, in actual chinese philosophy Yin represents darkness and femininity, while Yang represents light and masculinity. The writers were so desperate to have the evil dark spirit be male they just went "fuck it" and ignored that.

Last airbender is a loveletter to asiatic culture/mythology, korra is unironically cultural appropriration.

Either way, E;R has a really good video on the legend of korra comic.



And like 6-8 more videos on the legend of korra books in general, highly recommend them, they're really good.

I mean, Air nomads are inspired by tibet and earth kingdom is inspired by china, so... just saying. 🤔
 
Was this actually shown in ATLA? I know it happens in Korra all the time but it has been a while.
Either way I hate it.
Yeah, during the finale. Ozai's doing it during his whole fight with Aang and I think both the white lotus guys and the opposing firebenders do the same at Ba Sing Se. Azula does goofy rocket scoots in the final Agni Kai.
