Re: 103, 150, 161

So they should've just skipped the entire character arc that brought her to the place where she could stand up against Azula?

One of my favorite things about Avatar is how every character has a journey and many, MANY of them have to learn to be better people. Zuko was threatening old ladies and burning down villages at the beginning of the show -- does that mean everyone should hate him, too? Clearly they don't! But somehow Mai's failure to nobly sacrifice herself in the FIRST EPISODE SHE APPEARS IN is too much for some people to get past?

Don't you know, characters never grow and change. They stay the same forever and ever.

SHIT! I knew I was forgetting something.

I guess I should stop using this icon from the episode-that-must-never-have-happened then ;3

I don't know, that is one of my annoyances with fandom. Characters are never allowed to grow as people, and god forbid they start off not good but then slowly become good.

But then again, Avatar fandom is not the first fandom where I have had to deal with this crap.

Re: 103, 150, 161

[ali-wildgoose.livejournal.com]

It seriously cracks me up that MY VERY FAVORITE THING about ATLA is the process of growth and change, yet HALF OF FANDOM kind of would rather people stay exactly the same.

Except Zuko. Because he has to turn good so he can have sex with various people who shall remain nameless.

Re: 103, 150, 161

[kristenell.livejournal.com]

Fandom likes to make caricatures out of characters, they boil them down to a few traits, and lets roll with it.

Aang is always a goof ball, Katara is always mothering everyone, Sokka is always the comic relief, and so on so on son.

Zuko gets to change because he was on the wrong side.

Re: 103, 150, 161

I suspect all of this is what leads to the relative dearth of good fanfic :/

Re: 103, 150, 161

[kristenell.livejournal.com]

I personally think the dearth of good fanfic is resting on the heads of people's inabilities to form a proper sentence or take criticism.

Re: 103, 150, 161

[ali-wildgoose.livejournal.com]

HAH. Touché!

sad but sadly truuuuuuuuuuuuuue

Re: 103, 150, 161

I can't tell you how many times fics that have awesome potential and kickass concepts are killed because the writer couldn't even bother to run a spellcheck.
