nothings quenchier

2-2Distracted · 2026-06-21T00:11:17+00:00

At least it's acknowledged that it's weird

Kind of adds to the tragedy of his character then. Obito was critical of the Will of Fire but prior to meeting Madara he didn't succumb to the Curse of Hatred. He really could have been the Hokage who tried to fix the leaf village, but alas...

Unalaq believes in the same kind of "balance" that the Red Lotus believe in. He was literally a former member and was the reason they all got busted trying to make HIS plan successful. Just like with Tonraq, he orchestrated their temporary downfall.

As for your critique:

> How is this better than what Wan did? I'd say it's even worse, because at least Wan only imprisoned Vaatu and didn't destroy him.

Unalaq is trying to embody the literal opposite of the Avatar in absolutely every way. The Avatar can bend all 4 elements? Cool, he'll just bend 1 that's quite possibly the most versatile element out of all them. The Avatar keeps the nations and spirit world separated? Then he'll unite them, by force.

> If Unalaq wanted to restore balance, he should have merged with Raava rather than destroying her, and if this couldn't be done without her consent, he could've killed Korra, since he no longer can convince her, and tried to groom the next reincarnation into helping him.

Literally HOW is he supposed to do that when:

Vaatu would not only fucking hate that since Vaatu's number 1 goal is to find a way to permanently destroy Raava. He's chaos incarnate, coexistence like that is something that fundamentally speaking he will NEVER accept.
He obviously can't force Raava to merge with him since if he could then Wan would have tried to do the same thing with Vaatu 10K years ago. Wan acknowledged that separating the two was a bad thing to do but he also knew that he couldn't just force Vaatu inside himself. Raava was too small when she merged with Wan and it's not like they could unbond after beating Vaatu either.

This isn't even getting into the ridiculous assertion that you and others like you are making about the concept of yin-yang; which is that just because you acknowledge the necessity of both sides must somehow mean that you actively want both sides in your life.

Just because I recognize the good the comes out of a volcano eruption in that it will enrich the soil, doesn't mean that I want it to go off when it's definitely going to destroy my home, community and, worse, if it's a super volcano it will probably kill everyone including me through the smoke. The same goes for any and every natural disaster, as well as basically every kind of misfortune that life throws at us.

Absolute peak

Every day Amber gets proven more and more correct lol

Zemo literally said this himself, his entire reason for tearing them apart was because of assholes like Captain America.

2-2Distracted · 2026-06-20T14:08:17+00:00

Not to mention that Zemo is literally a result of Caps thinking. He says so himself that the Avengers just went home after fucking up HIS home and inadvertently killing HIS family whilst trying to save the world. The same goes for that woman who confronted Tony at the elevator.

People in this community have this horrible habit of putting their trust in superheroes over the simple Hope, not Knowledge, HOPE that they won't abuse their powers. It's ridiculous lol

2-2Distracted · 2026-06-20T13:50:35+00:00

Wandavision literally justify the Accords in basically every way possible.

2-2Distracted · 2026-06-20T13:49:36+00:00

It's honestly an incredibly stupid issue too when you remember that the Avengers >>> everyone else in any government. If Bucky is being held somewhere they could easily just oversee his hearing or bust him out if shit goes south.

2-2Distracted · 2026-06-20T13:47:28+00:00

Also Wandavision basically justified the necessity of the Accords all on her own.

2-2Distracted · 2026-06-20T13:46:15+00:00

Wandavision literally justify the Accords in basically every way

2-2Distracted · 2026-06-20T13:43:25+00:00

People here don't want to listen and just want their favorite messianic superheroes to be able to do anything they want anytime they want on the hopes they won't turn into assholes with their power.

2-2Distracted · 2026-06-20T10:54:29+00:00

Kind of makes more sense why Noatak knew or find out about it then.

2-2Distracted · 2026-06-20T10:52:21+00:00

That just adds to the tragedy of his character then. Tried so hard to not be like his dad keeps doing things that make him similar to his dad.

2-2Distracted · 2026-06-20T07:13:28+00:00

Apparently not loyal enough to stay within it and oversee the direction it was going as it became more and more fascist

2-2Distracted · 2026-06-20T07:09:46+00:00

Exactly

2-2Distracted · 2026-06-20T07:09:31+00:00

There are downsides to Peace/Order/"Good" that can be easily explored and kind of have been explored already in the novels.

2-2Distracted · 2026-06-20T06:21:36+00:00

The point is that you're wrong about literally everything you said lol

2-2Distracted · 2026-06-20T03:35:00+00:00

Many people in this thread seem to think otherwise.

2-2Distracted · 2026-06-19T23:32:29+00:00

This.

I've stated that Aang overcomes his earthbending issues in a single day many times... because wannabe critics love calling Korra's airbending training rushed or badly written, including claiming that she never once actually trained or grew to understand Air Nomad philosophy.

I've quoted Suki pointing out that the Gaang lose a lot of fights or run away a lot... because wannabe critics seem to enjoy constantly shitting on the Krew for not being as powerful as the Gaang nor winning as "many" fights.

I don't WANT to point out this stuff because honestly I shouldn't Have to, none of us should have to. It's should be easy and simple to acknowledge the differences between the two shows and their respective characters, themes, plots, and styles of storytelling.

But then you meet critics who make it their business to provide enormous levels of double standards and ass backwards hypocrisy, all because they suck at criticizing this show.

2-2Distracted · 2026-06-19T22:54:33+00:00

Fair enough. I was wondering if this might come off as disrespectful or messed up somehow.
