103. Your loss. I find her one of the most believable and compelling villains I've even seen.

117. aaaugh no "Caramel" is one of my YoruSoi songs whyyyy

Edit: Actually, now that I think about it, "Stockings" is my Suzanne Vega YoruSoi song, so carry on.

127. For some reason I find awesome grandmothers who take kids with crappy parents and Raise Them Right to be one of this world's great incarnations of badass. I can't quite say why.

133. I didn't even know he had a plane. But I love the layout of this secret.

Edit: Don't mind my previous comment. I just realized I'm not Avatar's target audience and they had to make it clear to everyone the reasons she was having a breakdown.

That's something a lot of the fandom forgets, although it's usually more to do with shipping or whether Aang should kill.

I see where you're coming from, though, even in my eternal lazy inability to watch the finale. I know why they did it, but I prefer Azula with her madness well-hidden.

Re: 103

[identity profile] meganbmoore.livejournal.com 2009-03-26 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
Azula's madness was, IMO, handled in the most infuriating way possible anyway. You may be happier you didn't see it.

103 OP

(Anonymous) 2009-03-25 10:34 pm (UTC)(link)
She's an evil sociopath of a villain, as if that's never been done before, and she brings nothing new to that genre of villainy.

She's a boring, watery replacement for Zhao's manipulative magnificent bastard with Xanatos aspirations.

Re: 103 OP

[identity profile] annwyd.livejournal.com 2009-03-25 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
And I found Zhao to be fairly typical.

Azula's characterization by fandom as nothing but a sociopath does her a disservice. She's something of a sociopath, but she's as much if not more a narcissist. I find it refreshing to see a character who is evil, who does evil things and does not get excused or redeemed at the end, and who doesn't have weird metaphysical world-destroying aspirations...but who has more to her personality and motivations than just "lol I'm evil." In Azula's case, it's perfectionism, hidden neediness, and social awkwardness, and they actually make just as much sense as her cruelty and arrogance in the context of her character.

Re: 103 OP

(Anonymous) 2009-03-25 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)
And I don't see any truth to your characterization of Azula.

She bores me, and I see nothing more to her character than "lol I'm just evil" - that's at the heart and center of her character and any other bits and pieces (mostly tacked on during The Beach and feeling like nothing more than afterthoughts) don't excuse her overwhelming boringness.

I have no desire to continue this conversation because I will always think you're wrong.

Charming. Like I said, your loss.

... You thought Zhao was a good villian? "Magnificent bastard?" Um...

... yeah, okay, you keep on doin' your thing, anon.

Re: 103 OP

[identity profile] masterfedora.livejournal.com 2009-03-26 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
What's wrong with magnificent bastards? I love magnificent bastards. They're my favorite character trope. XD

Re: 103 OP

[identity profile] paperclipchains.livejournal.com 2009-03-26 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
Zhao is not one of them. He's just some scrub with mutton chops, a cackle, and evil hand gestures.

Re: 103 OP

[identity profile] masterfedora.livejournal.com 2009-03-26 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
Ah I see. Yeah I'm not into Avatar so I had no idea. Good to know though.

Fookin' AMEN, OP, fookin' amen.

In fact, I find any grandparent who takes the bull by the horns in any sort of situation to be the world's great incarnation of badass. I tip my hat to all of them.
