(Anonymous) 2010-09-17 01:23 pm (UTC)(link)And many of these traits he displayed right up until end of the series. Zuko is hardly a hero above Aang. He was lucky to have people like his uncle and Aang who were willing to look past his garbage and forgive him repeatedly. But despite all that Zuko is still a good person and a good character.
Aang was wrong many times - his insecurities led him to hide the map which he then admitted to and was willing to accept the consequences for, he was impatient and burned Katara which he was clearly upset over and apologized for, he easily got into trouble due to his desire to be normal or be loved. He can be flighty and childish at times. His emotions were at times a problem when he couldn't handle them.
The fandom doesn't demonize Aang, which is the difference. People see he has flaws and much like the Zuko fans, choose to accept the bad and look forward to the good. You seem to nitpick everything Aang does and hold everything against the character including the fandom's liking and enjoyment of Aang. And Aang is a kid and he has a wisdom and spirituality to him. He is both of those things. There is no dodging that. He saved Zuko at the end of the Blue Spirit despite the fact he knew Zuko was an enemy but he had to ask the question: Could we be friends? He saved Zuko again in the Seige of the North when everyone else was willing to leave him to freeze. He knew that getting revenge on the man who killed her mother was not what would help Katara heal. He readily put aside the wrongs done to him by Zuko and welcomed him once he recognized he and Zuko had the same feelings about fire bending, he saw the good in the fire nation kids and knew that he was going to have to defeat the fire lord, but that opinions and attitudes had to change too.
The things people admire about Aang are his ability to be open to others, his notions of forgiveness, seeing the good in others, willingness to help others, his loyalty to his beliefs and culture, his loyalty to his friends and those he loves, his kindness, his belief that not everything can or should be solved with violence, his ability to stand up for what he believes despite the pressure from others, his respect for other cultures and people, etc. And if those are the things the sercret poster and other fans choose to see in Aang, then I say good for them.
