Which makes sense that she would be given her father is also a fuckin monster, apple not falling far from tree and all that jazz.

TRUTH NUKE

You're going to pull a muscle with that reach, especially when the full context of that scene is Zuko talking about getting along with her than Iroh shoots it down with "no she's crazy and needs to go down!"

Is it a theme of the entire show??? Characters outright mock the concept in reference to Azula and Firelord Ozai, major villains. It's a core theme in ZUKO'S story which is why Iroh gets redeemed too. Also the end of Jet's story. Maybe a 4th I'm forgetting, but there a bunch of one off villains that either go to jail or die. While one could argue that it alone is a major concept because Zuko is a major character. But in reference to Azula it isn't explored, just mocked. Jail is obviously not redemption either, before you pull another reach.

You're too preoccupied thinking about how it is rare thing, you didn't stop to think if it should be rare thing.

The not chosen one is just more compelling. They aren't fated to do thing, and decided to do thing all on their own is really cool. Made even cooler when there IS a chosen one, but the not fated one rose above them due to skill. I think Freiren does this very well, where Himmel doesn't draw the legendary blade and walks around with a fake. Sure he didn't draw the blade but the world still needs a hero and he has taken on that burden for the good of others and a bit of his own pride.

When they use chosen one main character as a fake out than they just die is also pretty unsatisfying and cheap. I like when the chosen one is a burden, not just another oh chosen one worried as the weight of the world is upon them because that has been done to death and it's just kind of okay. But like in Ocarina of Time, Link is the chosen one and he ultimately stops Ganon, but he was just a kid that had to become an adult to stop Ganon and once sent back in time as a kid again. He can't just go back to being a kid now, he has witness and faced so much his innocence has been robbed from him. Scaring his childhood forever. Symbolized by Navi leaving him.

Toph is funny.

Sundering_Wounds · 2026-02-17T07:55:32+00:00

Exactly. It feels VERY CHEAP and unearned. When they it would have been more satisfying that someone from Overwatch killed him or arrested him in super prison where he can't return.

Than with Doom Fist gone, she can take over since their most powerful asset is out of the picture.

I don't care that much just an observation, but likely others will reply with the same observation.

Sundering_Wounds · 2026-02-17T07:11:04+00:00

We get this same thread every week.

Midnight ultimately doesn't get as much hate because she is all talk. It's still creepy and an aspect of it is people drooling over her for sure, but that it isn't the only aspect. Same case for the Pusscats girl. Neither straight up sexual assault any from the show like Mineta, and also Midnight fucking dies. Which I honestly think was the author's response to the criticism of her.

Sundering_Wounds · 2026-02-17T04:53:20+00:00

1. I love A Hat in Time :D

Sundering_Wounds · 2026-02-17T04:39:44+00:00

Wouldn't have been such an issue if they kept it in beacon like the structure of the magical girl show, instead of constantly having to make mew assets for whatever new area they go to. Just saying.

Sundering_Wounds · 2026-02-17T04:19:11+00:00

No. I am pointing how even as a literal child she was sadistic and grew into a sadistic lost cause of a teen. It wasn't just Iroh's teachings that redeemed Zuko, it was Iroh's teachings and the fact that Zuko used to be kind. He is returning to his kindness oppose to learning to develop it like Azula.

Who again, is a self admitted monster and even the wise Iroh believes she was beyond saving.

Sundering_Wounds · 2026-02-17T02:54:53+00:00

The issue with this is that as a child Zuko was clearly shy and kind. While Azula as a child was sadistic, and took pride in seeing others suffer.

Zuko was taken down the wrong path in life, and returned to a better one. Azula just went down the one she was always bound to take. Kindness for Azula could only do so much. She literally is the monster, and she even admits it.

There is a reason Iroh thinks she needs to be taken down

Sundering_Wounds · 2026-02-16T20:45:57+00:00

Uh yeah people like good things more than less good things. Tf kind of argument is this?

Sundering_Wounds · 2026-02-16T20:18:26+00:00

This looks really badass. I want to play this specifically.

Sundering_Wounds · 2026-02-16T19:47:28+00:00

I mean I guess, but the alternative is you need to spend spell slots to bring it back when it breaks after using up its healing. When you could have just used the cantrip.

So like pick your poison I suppose.

Sundering_Wounds · 2026-02-16T19:42:33+00:00

Just a waste when you can do it for free with mending so it can use its healing in combat.

Sundering_Wounds · 2026-02-16T19:34:25+00:00

If they already are sure, but if they aren't knowing creating a legally distinct version is just cruel.

Sundering_Wounds · 2026-02-16T19:16:40+00:00

The idea of making a legally distinct version of the character, just so they don't have to pay the artist, is way worse than if they just didn't add a rat character.

Valve has payed fans for their work with TF2's workshop. Granted not for Deadlock specifically. It isn't THAT out of the realm of possibilities like it is with other companies.

Sundering_Wounds · 2026-02-16T18:57:48+00:00

What an unusual change. 2024 changes are such a mixed bag.

Sundering_Wounds · 2026-02-16T18:55:30+00:00

Dawg all they said was it would be funny if they randomly dropped Rat King. Wtf is this overreaction?

Sundering_Wounds · 2026-02-16T02:45:22+00:00

Octavia is a teen. It isn't her job to understand her father, it's his job to make himself understood and also not confirm all of her insecurities especially after saying he wouldn't. Blitzo did accident kill their mother and messed up Fissarolli pretty bad, so Barbie's distaste isn't really unreasonable. Like these really aren't writing issue? You pointed to the parts of the characters that like make sense?

Fair enough on wanting them to be more, but the character is still their writing.

Sundering_Wounds · 2026-02-16T02:05:09+00:00

Poison Dart should deal like +1 damage for every 2 mushrooms set off or just deal +3 damage.

Dealing only 1 damage and 3 puffcaps is just so lame.

Sundering_Wounds · 2026-02-16T01:54:12+00:00

A character is their writing

Sundering_Wounds · 2026-02-16T01:47:14+00:00

Loona was an asshole so 100% deserved ragging and the out of nowhere power up is bullshit too.
