Daddy Issues are horridly overused to begin with...

(Anonymous) 2014-11-23 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Seriously, it seems like SO many characters have their main story revolve around daddy issues nowadays. How many of the Marvel characters again? Batman's another big one (Batman Begins makes a MUCH bigger deal about the father's inaction than the mother's). Star Trek. Star Wars. Avatar The Last Airbender. The list goes on and on.

You mean father's death (for Batman Begins)? I don't remember anything about 'inaction.'

When Bruce is being trained, Ra's al Ghul says:

Henri Ducard: Your parents' death was not your fault.
[Bruce attacks Ducard with his sword]
Henri Ducard: It was your father's.
[Bruce furiously attacks Ducard, but is easily defeated]
Henri Ducard: Anger does not change the fact that your father failed to act.
Bruce Wayne: The man had a gun!
Henri Ducard: Would that stop you?
Bruce Wayne: I've had training!
Henri Ducard: The training is nothing! The will is everything!
[Ducard bests Bruce once again]
Henri Ducard: The will to act.

I mean, honestly, both parents were unarmed and it happened so quickly. So why the heck is the father singled out. Not to mention that Bruce's memories tend to center around his father -- like his father getting him out of the well, for example.

DA, but I always thought that scene was just Ducard being manipulative. You're definitely right about the well thing, though. Nothing like that for his mum.

How in the world does ATLA consistute daddy issues? Katara, at least, seems far more affected by her mother's death than her father's absence. And Aang has neither parent.

Yeah. That's who I was thinking of. Granted, there is at least quite a variety of issues in ATLA. But it does bother me a tad how often mothers are missing.

Oh, lol. That was obvious. You can certainly tell who my favorites were and were not in Avatar.
