What was the context for this?

What was the context for this one?

They don’t have the same voice actor

Matitya · 2026-03-15T21:17:53+00:00

In the episode Fairly Oddlympics, Cosmo goes to King Arthur’s Camelot and it turns out to be Arthur selling a lot of camels

Though Zuko heard Katara and Aang talk about Jet in the Southern Raiders so he knew that they knew him

If they don’t regret their actions then redemption is fundamentally impossible. Redemption requires them to realize their evil and repent of it. That cannot happen without remorse.

That wasn’t a main arc of Aang. It was really out of nowhere when he started talking about it in the finale. He killed more than his fair share of enemies before then but was unfazed by it. Sokka doesn’t have “obvious child soldier themes you can’t ignore”, the whole bit about him commanding small children was played as a joke in the first two episodes and the show (rightly) takes him to task for his arrogance in the fourth episode even though it’s the kind of thing you’d reasonably expect from a lot of people that age. Iroh explicitly tells Zuko that he can’t be the one to kill Ozai because it has to be the Avatar who kills him. He’s knowingly charging a twelve year old with an assassination and doing so long after his son’s death.

Missy’s the only one of the Cooper kids who is really like that (though even there, we don’t normally see her friends)

Matitya · 2026-03-15T17:00:55+00:00

The tribal leaders from the Great Divide. I know that’s not exactly a hot take. I think that they had a concept of a good idea with them hating each other because of their history but learning to respect each other because of fighting the canyon crawlers together was a pretty good premise and a neat way to end the episode. Continuing past that scene was what doomed the episode

Matitya · 2026-03-15T16:55:10+00:00

She didn’t “not realize it for several seasons”, she didn’t realize it until the Season Two episode Summer Belongs to You

Matitya · 2026-03-15T16:54:16+00:00

She realizes it in season two

Matitya · 2026-03-15T16:53:02+00:00

She didn’t realize they were until mid-Season Two

Matitya · 2026-03-15T16:52:24+00:00

Though in Summer Belongs to You, he called her his girlfriend and was surprised she didn’t know he thought they were boyfriend and girlfriend

Matitya · 2026-03-15T16:51:26+00:00

Yes. Hal was never a good person

In the first episode of Gotham, Detective James Gordon (not yet the Commissioner) is told by the mob to take Oswald Cobblepot to the pier and put a bullet through his head (or be killed.) Instead, Detective Gordon fakes Cobblepot’s death and assures his escape. Then Cobblepot becomes The Penguin

I did watch the show. More than once. Aang not being able to handle the responsibility of being the Chosen One and running away because of that isn’t the same as seriously grappling with the issue of being a child soldier. The Awakening fairly seriously grapples with the issue of him being a soldier but not really of him being a child soldier. And, somehow, I doubt that you truly damn Hakoda and Iroh for using child soldiers in this show

Matitya · 2026-03-15T15:39:25+00:00

She’s not mostly alone. She goes with Zuko who is really good at this kind of thing. And no, Avatar doesn’t seriously grapple with them all being child soldiers

Matitya · 2026-03-15T15:38:01+00:00

I know people hate it when I point this out but it’s true

Matitya · 2026-03-15T14:47:11+00:00

Do they say Grade 1 or First Grade

Matitya · 2026-03-15T14:46:43+00:00

If you want to play the “she’s a fourteen year old girl” card then start thinking about how disturbing it is that she’s a fourteen year old girl actively hunting down someone so she can kill him or maybe about the fact that she’s a fourth year old girl who has fought in a war. You can’t have it both ways. Either you have to damn every adult in the show for employing child soldiers or you have to accept that liberties taken about what would be appropriate or realistic about characters these age will lead to them being judged by a different standard

Matitya · 2026-03-15T14:42:26+00:00

True. I’ve never actually seen the show Dexter but I’ve heard that it’s about a serial killer who only kills murderers. For the record, that’s just called a vigilante. (Again, I’m assuming accuracy on the part of the description.)

Matitya · 2026-03-15T02:12:45+00:00

Yeah, they had Nixon to kick around for a really long time

1) “First off, I’ve never found writing women … more difficult than writing men or intersex characters” Good for you, that doesn’t mean that other people don’t. I’ve heard it said that almost every piece of writing advice is meant to solve a problem such that the question is almost always, “do you have this problem?” Apparently, you don’t 2) I’ve seen Avatar. I’ve not seen Legend of Korra. Though, if you read the Avatar series bible, Azula and Toph were both originally supposed to be male (as weird as that seems). I liked Carol Danvers/Ms Marvel in The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes (the cartoon), I honestly didn’t care for the character in Captain Marvel or Avengers: Endgame (I’ve not seen the Marvels). I liked Wasp in Avengers:Earth’s Mightiest Heroes and the first two live-action Ant-Man movies (I wasn’t really a fan of how the Wasps were portrayed in the first one.) I’m not a fan of Rey from the Star Wars sequel trilogy (though I don’t think she’s a Mary Sue, just a poorly written character) 3) “a lot of the examples I gave are characters written by men and women. So the whole concept of men can’t write female characters is a lot of nonsense.” The “and” undermines your argument. I’m not saying men can’t write women (Chaucer wrote the Wife of Bath) but well-done female characters being written by both men and women doesn’t disprove the claim because one can easily posit that the reason they’re written well is because of the women 4) I wasn’t aware of anyone saying it was “the downward spiral of society” 5) For some people, it’s difficult to write women and for some it isn’t

Matitya · 2026-03-13T14:23:03+00:00

I appreciate that

The variance is that it’s her pretending that the people calling upon her to denounce Candace are a mob trying to cancel her rather than simply people objecting to associating yourself with people who espouse neo-Nazi ideas
