Legend of Korra: PANIC!!!! Episode 4 Is Uploaded!!!!
Posts
Ozai didn't get to become Fire Lord because he was best-qualified or because he was a great, charismatic leader. He got the job because he claimed the throne after his father suddenly died and maintained that he'd been named the heir in place of his brother Iroh. Then he used fear as well as displays of power to hold his authority. Have a disagreement with the Fire Lord? Hope you can beat him in an Agni Kai, because he's going to challenge you to one because he's a ruthless, fearsome fighter who wouldn't think twice about disfiguring his own teenage son for stepping out of line.
You take away the power, you take away his ability to control and manipulate pretty-much everyone. No one in the Fire Nation is going to publicly sympathize with the man who was beaten-down and neutered on a global stage by a 12-year-old boy.
Had Aang actually killed him then he'd be a martyr and plenty of people would use the legend of the mighty Ozai to inspire their own resistance to the era of harmony. Instead he no-longer gets to be an inspiring figure and most will follow their traditions and adopt their rightful heir, Zuko, as the new Fire Lord. Especially since under Aang and Zuko's reconstruction there will be no punishment for the Fire Nation, unlike if they'd lost the war to a conventional military force. They simply go back to where they were before Sozin declared war on the world.
I was thinking about end of series Aang Avatar State, not before he got the hang of it(like Korra will most likely have to learn) Avatar state.
He never got the hang of the Avatar state. He was not in control of it at all. He was shooting to kill on Ozai and almost Executed him during the state until he turned it off.

Kettle condescending calling the Pot black I see.

If I was skeptical of accusations made about you being condescending, those doubts have now been removed. Good job.
Because random illustration and decorations don't cut it.
and then, after that, he flashed his eyes and he was able to raise the seas to put out the forest fire
in the commentary they even say "oh, there, aang's flashing his eyes instead of having them glow, which has been how we've shown that someone has mastery of the avatar state"
Tibetian Buddhism is corrupt, authoritarian and oppressive. A few relatively progressive opinions doesn't really absolve him of any of that.
And the reality is that many Buddhist sects were nihilistic, equally oppressive, supported questionable regimes or just as violent as many other religions of the world. That a few of them are more liberal now because of modernization and vapid importation of watered-down versions to the West doesn't erase all that history.
thanks

"where the hell you been girl?"
i think you're ok people
I feel like "I don't like killing people. But this time, I gotta. Moral ambiguity!" has been done plenty
while "I don't like killing people. I will not bend on this point, you will. Deal with it." is much more interesting to me
I have been thinking this
look, I mean
people are wrong in a tedious way because their memory is bad and their arguments are worse
so I can either get mad at those people or find them ridiculous
the first puts me in a bad mood and the second does the opposite
the other person gets mad either way, so from a utilitarian perspective this is the right call, especially because people laugh at my hilarious jokes!
I still maintain that she'd just wind-up being immune. Because you know, she has the spirit of the Avatar. It's immortal. It's been passed down through eons because of its immense power and durability.
:^:
you too, homeboy
pebrogies
she's not immune to chi blocking
You're barking up the wrong tree. What you've described is condescension. You insult people, dismiss them as ridiculous and then praise yourself for your wit.
Right.
ahaha what does that even mean
are you working from a fucking phrasebook
are you going to ask me where the library is next
have you broken your leg
in my head he will be seven feet tall with muttonchops and be voiced by James Earl Jones
well, that's why she'll be able to regain her bending powers. because she's the avatar.
I was just justifying my right to do so
I'm with Twenty Sided. I think if Amon tries to take her bending the Avatar Spirit is going to show up and tell him to step the fuck off.
I'm not convinced they are different things
what Amon did looked pretty distinct from energybending
See my edit.
TL;DR I suspect you are engaged in a series of petty self-justifications that I don't really care about.
And now the insults continue. The fuck man. You're really going out of your way to piss off as many bystanders as possible.
it seems like a ridiculously useful skill
Well, now that I've read you more closely, I've gotta agree. Your way is a lot more dramatic.
Tenzin gives up his bending to restore Korra.
And then you follow up by saying "I'd rather act like a twat than just ignore you" and are gleefully proud of this.
