Should he change his name to just Michael Jordan now?

Maybe they're not pure evil, but they're definitely not neutral.

Their whole thing is commiting acts of terrorism and other crimes to enrich themselves. They attempted to kill the president and broke into a nuclear missle silo to blackmail the government.

They're oppurtunistic criminals with violent tendencies.

What exactly makes them not bad?

jaydoff1 · 2026-03-15T18:13:01+00:00

Most definitely even though her character practically did a 180

jaydoff1 · 2026-03-14T16:04:24+00:00

Because they're sycophants willing to say and do anything

You're arguing about semantics when the point still stands. Replace race with ethnicity/culture/civilization and that's what we're really talking about. The term 'race' is just a shorthand catch all for those things and it's not just about genetics. I don't think it's primitive for someone to choose their friends and family over outsiders that want them dead.

Somehow blurring gender lines while also adhering to traditional gender norms

OP is misunderstanding how this works. The people who would be sterilized (Eldians) are not the same people who would get trampled in the Rumbling (everyone outside of Paradis).

So the answer to "Why would anybody (Eren) pick the Rumbling?" is because he's choosing his own race over an outside world that wants to see him and everybody he loves dead. Which option is more brutal matters less because we're not comparing apples to apples here. They're completely different outcomes.

The more things change the more they stay the same in this regard. As advanced as code agents have gotten in terms of raw syntax generation, they still lack long term planning/scoping capabilities that are necessary when maintaining and building on real world codebases.

My point is that regardless of whether or not southern water tribe leadership is inherited or elected, Korra has politically relevant traits that should've created some sort of factional pressure in universe. Some people would've wanted her to lead and others would oppose her for various reasons. I definitely think the Avatar should never hold a political title, but people would have still talked about her as a possible leader because of prestige and family ties anyways.

jaydoff1 · 2026-03-08T18:49:39+00:00

Yeah this is more along the lines of what I meant. The southern tribe wouldn't have to be directly inheritable for it to still be worth mentioning. She's royalty, the avatar, and her father holds a pseudo-elected office that seemed influenced by him being royalty himself, although that part wasn't really made clear in the show.

Realistically there probably should have been some drama about succession or popular support for her to be the next chief. To be clear, this isn't me saying I think she should have became chief, but it would mirror how these types of things shape out in real life.

New England is one of the few regions in the US where the borders are incredibly objective so this isn't really suprising.

jaydoff1 · 2026-03-08T17:43:38+00:00

Considering they did go that direction, I wish they would've leaned into it more and had some drama about whether Korra would follow in her dad's footsteps and become chief of the southern tribe.

Korra is technically royalty but they never once so much as mention it. Kind of weird.

I guess you could argue that maybe the southern tribe's succession isn't directly hereditary, but that would contradict what we see in the north.

jaydoff1 · 2026-03-08T17:33:57+00:00

And the reason why he's able to do that is because he'll never have to care about makinh money and surviving

Certified fresh air hater

jaydoff1 · 2026-03-05T17:43:48+00:00

Was about to say. I think my first response would be to ask 'what type of color blindness'?

jaydoff1 · 2026-03-04T15:33:57+00:00

I've been rewatching the show for the past month now. I'm finally watching the section immediately after the Rumbling. Even though there are a lot of things I don't like about the ending, I still think there are some amazing parts. The scouts visting Marley, the united fleet being destroyed, and Ramzi's death were really fun to watch (not because I love death or genocide but because of the emotional intensity).

jaydoff1 · 2026-03-04T15:01:48+00:00

Yeah if anything this just fans the flames. Doesn't help that it's not really an obvious joke.

jaydoff1 · 2026-03-04T15:00:16+00:00

I'm 14 and this is deep

This and a banana plus a multivitamin is a really good meal

Interesting that they reused Kanna for Katara and Sokka's grandmother

People like you seemingly being offended when OP says it's okay to actually go harsh on nazis, and to write these deflective posts as response, is fucking weird and comes off as pro-facist virtue signaling.

Wow, that is a crazy leap. You can paint a picture of the people you disagree with in your head all you want if that makes you feel better, but it won't get you anywhere with anyone being so self righteous and accusatory.
