I should seriously keep a list of all the stupid things the ATLA fandom things. Dumb dumb dumb people.

One post was circulating about how in Korra they thought that the symbols for each nation had been changed, when actually there have always been two sets on symbols in the world. One for the nation, and one for the bending. Both of those symbols have been around for the entire series. Like what the fuck.

Then there's the commonly accepted knowledge that the previous Avatars were all telling Aang to kill Fire Lord Ozai. No they fucking didn't. Actually pay attention to what they say, the show is really obvious about it too. They even explicitly say "HERE IS MY ADVICE TO YOU" before they each say:

"Only justice will bring peace."

"Aang, you must actively shape your own destiny and the destiny of the world."

"You must be decisive."

"Selfless duty calls you to sacrifice your own spiritual needs, and do whatever it takes to protect the world."

Aang interprets it that way ("All these past Avatars. They keep telling me I'm gonna have to do it. They don't get it.") because he's not thinking straight, he's not thinking out of the box yet. Then he DOES take their advice, all of it. He didn't blow them off, they would be proud of his clever mind and good heart. And-- GOD-

HERE'S THE GODDAMN TRANSCRIPT JUST READ IT.

NO DEATH. NOTHING. HOW DARE YOU ASSHOLES SLANDER KYOSHI THIS WAY. FUCK ME.

The rest might be a bit vague, though if you accept the comics as canon it's make clearer Roku was pretty much saying exactly that.

Gene Yang is a terrible writer though, I'd be shocked if he DIDN'T miss it.

Also makes Roku look like an idiot, because "you must be decisive" is the vaguest advice possible.

Well, I figured at least part of that was the usual Never Say Die kids-show thing. But in general, I take your point.

After talking to Yangchen Aang somberly looks up and says "I don't have a choice Momo. I have to kill the Fire Lord."
