Jedi V. Sith

You can fight me on this, IDGAF, but "I'm not talking about killing Penguin, or Scarecrow, or Dent, I'm talking about him. Just him. And doing it because... because he took me away from you." is one of DC's most perfectly crafted short monologues ever. It sums up a whole character in a few, simple lines. It sums up Jason's motives, hopes, and pain.

Watching atla, Sokka's Master, and I just love the size difference between Piandao and Sokka bc he's so tiny, you know, like the child that he is. So used to Sokka being the oldest and tallest one in the group that seeing him around adults reminds you that he's just a kid and he's itty bitty—look at him!!

and he helped so many of us.

Bruce: “All of my questions sound like insults.”

Hal: “…can you give an example?”

Bruce: “Can you not think of one yourself?”

Listen, overall I'm not vibing with everything the Netflix adaptation of Avatar has got goin on... But that scene of Zuko crying in his bed while being told of his banishment was, in my opinion, a very moving addition and it would've killed in the original show. (It was so good it almost made up for them having Zuko actually fight Ozai and then cutting "You will learn respect and suffering will be your teacher".)

the only legitimate complaint about the adaptation is that zuko does not say honor

One of the many things that had me sobbing in the show is how they made Zuko’s fleet the 41st division. Meaning the division he spoke up for, the division that earned him his scar, is the division he was assigned for his goose chase. Imagine how heartbreaking it is. AND THE TEAM DIDNT EVEN KNOW HE DID THAT FOR THEM. MY BOY WAS ALWAYS GOOD!!!

loveee the thought of zuko as fire lord making his first diplomatic visit to the SWT and sokka taking FULL advantage of his and zuko’s friendship status to mortify his fellow council members and the general population of the south pole, as well as the fire lord himself.

like zuko will be chatting with some council members and sokka comes up and just starts roasting the fuck out of him. just saying shit like “who let you off the boat in THOSE shoes” to get a reaction out of the council members, who are making giant eyes at him like this is a professional visit where the fuck is your father to restrain you?!!!?

bato would be having an awkward conversation with zuko about resource allotments for the rebuilding effort and sokka needlessly throws in “did you know zuko sings to himself when he’s alone? he’s pretty good. give him a demo, zuko, come on,” and zuko’s grimacing because it was one fucking time sweet spirits sokka and bato is giving sokka the most embarrassed look of his life

sokka throws snowballs at zuko in the middle of the village and zuko falls over four consecutive times as a result.

for all his outward expressions of aggravation, it eventually becomes apparent to everyone that zuko isn’t too bothered by the teasing and sokka doesn’t mean anything by it, because every night they sit at the water’s edge and joke for hours.

Me at 12am: I’m gonna watch one episode and go to sleep 😌

Me now (8am):

I'm barely to the massacre and I can already tell I'm going to be screaming at every this-makes-no-sense decision made by the writers (your temple is under violent attack, and you evacuate the kids... to a barely enclosed corner in a prominent temple room? Instead of to the hundreds of air bison that were highlighted as flying in earlier? Why?) (And Aang left to clear his head and think instead of to run from his duties? That's such a less compelling plot arc?) (And the show had him briefly monologue about being a goofy kid who loves pies and his friends instead of using the extended temple scene to show any of that? Didn't want to pay more child actors, did you, Netflix?)

Yeah I'm just. Going to be screaming at the screen instead of enjoying this. Different decisions aren't necessarily bad, but when those decisions seem to be in the direction of "show a man burning alive before we even get to the on-screen massacre" this is just... not the show for me.

Leaves from the vine Falling so slow Like fragile tiny shells Drifting in the foam

Little soldier boy Come marching home Brave soldier boy Come marching home

Ash in the snow Falling so slow Like fragile broken hearts with no place to go

Little soldier boy Taken from home Forced to fight a war That was not his own

Little soldier boy Cold and alone Brave soldier boy Never made it home

Leaves from the vine Changing so slow Like empty fallen souls Looking for a home

Little soldier boy Thought he could soar Brave soldier boy Fallen in the war

My little soldier boy I need you home Brave soldier boy Come marching home

This lady was really just attack on sight

“He is just a child” - ma’am I’m sorry but you are also attacking a child
