Re: 142

[(Anonymous)]

For one, it was a show about war in which there was very little actual killing going on. Characters were taken prisoner in situations where it made more sense to just execute them (Suki, for instance; there was really no good reason for the army to waste resources to keep her alive after interrogating her). And for as much talk as there was of burning Ba Sing Se to the ground in the beginning, when the city is finally toppled, we see the army spending those valuable resources to occupy it instead, and without a reason (really, a city that, according to the map, is half the size of their own country). Death only seemed to occur when it was a convenient plot point, and even then the characters who died are only mourned if they were 100% good guys (Jet? Once he was coldly murdered right in front of them, everyone largely forgot he existed).

Also, the way way way oversimplified aspects of Asian culture that the series took its influence from. Instead of being explored as the complex philosophy it is, it was divided into very simple "This Good, That Bad." To be honest, the whitewashing in the movie seems almost fitting, considering how Asian culture itself got whitewashed throughout the series.
