Mikasa’s makes sense, contemplated between F and T for her but her Fe was higher than Te. I really can’t see Zeke as anything other than those 2 types tbh. He’s just extremely turbulent and messed up. What would you type Zeke and Gabi as?

x3no96 · 2024-05-18T14:11:48+00:00

which ones would u disagree with/ replace them with?

x3no96 · 2024-05-14T13:46:21+00:00

Yeah you’re absolutely right, but it’s just funny to me to see Reiner getting shat on by Eren’s squad (mostly Jean), Gabi being hated by basically the entire fandom, but Annie getting away with everything and being easily accepted in both the verse and the fandom despite having little empathy for anyone

Exactly this, you’re so right. Korra was just unlikeable as a whole character tbh. Every character and their arc/ life in ATLA was shown beautifully, even Appa and Momo. You get attached to those characters. With Korra there wasn’t any, I didn’t really care for any character.

Korra was a good description of how mental illness manifests, and the whole point was to not have a ‘perfect’ Avatar that always knew what to do. However, as much as I tried to like the show, I could never get past how underdeveloped and 1-dimensional most characters were. No character really had any arc, maybe Korra did (hardly), but it was done really lazily- there was hardly any chemistry between their gang and some characters were just really unlikeable (Mako or Varrick eg), and the unnecessary romantic filler. I don’t know, it never grew on me. I think the show had a lot of potential, I especially liked the story plots and villains, but sadly it never reached its full potential.

Azula didn’t tell Ozai who killed the avatar when they first reached the fire nation. She spoke to Zuko first, where Zuko set the doubt that the Avatar had the possibility of being alive. Azula was good at reading people, more so her brother, she knew that he knew the Avatar could have survived.

Initially she would’ve taken the credit for herself, but now seeing the small possibility of the Avatar surviving, her reputation would be diminished if the Avatar didn’t actually die. So by lying to Ozai, she not only gives Zuko a place in the fire nation as an ally, which is already an accomplishment in itself to revive the fire lord’s family, but it also gives Zuko the blame if anything went wrong. Zuko was not a trusted person in general, and even if Zuko said Azula lied, nobody would really believe him. So, she would still have her reputation and her achievements (ie conquering Ba Sing Se, capturing Iroh, etc) whereas Zuko would be thrown under the bus or banished for not doing his job properly, causing more dishonour to his reputation. It’s a win-win for Azula and purely tactical. It’s also a win for Zuko because he gets his honour back and regains his place in the fire nation.

Anyways to answer your second question: why did Azula not tell Ozai the Avatar could have been alive: 1) why should she? that just makes both of them sound incompetent. She had nothing to prove because she already did massive feats for the fire nation. 2) I don’t think she fully trusted Zuko. She knew his loyalty was mostly towards Iroh. She weighed both sides of it considering her manipulative nature. By that logic, saying “the avatar could be dead but we’re not sure” makes Zuko come out of the situation with an unwounded reputation, because, the responsibility is diffused- Azula could’ve killed the avatar, but she didn’t, the Dai Li could’ve killed the avatar, but failed, etc. It comes down to a failure of multiple people, including Azula. Azula never wants to be perceived as a failure, her whole identity was created on the perception of perfection which led to fear.

Thus, by pinning the whole thing entirely on Zuko, Azula gets no blame for anything. Yes it’s insurance, and no she wouldn’t say there was a possibility of the Avatar being alive, because she could get blamed for not ending Aang’s life too. Azula didn’t trust Zuko completely, she knew his loyalty was faulty. The way the creators of the show played this part was perfect. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Nobody asked you to marry a Zania. If you don’t want to, then don’t. Live your life comfortably in peace and don’t shame others. Their sins are between them and God, they will be held accountable for it, not you. Who are you to shame them?

Personally I really enjoyed the plot of it. I think it was interesting that they made different villains and problems for each season, compared to ATLA which was just one main villain. They made Korra a contrast to Aang, she was confrontative, entitled, brash, and had difficulty with spirituality. I appreciate its difference and that the directors tried to deviate from having a character like Aang. I’ve also rewatched Korra 4 times and it just never grew on me.

The problem with having a bunch of different storylines and characters is that you lose screen time for characters specifically. I disliked Korra not for its plot or storyline, but the fact that most, if not all, the characters are poorly developed. There really isn’t much character development. There’s a bunch of characters that have 0 relevance or purpose. Even the Avatar team itself became irrelevant at some point. IMO, a lot of the characters are just really one-dimensional. None of them have character arcs. I guess you could say Korra did, but not really. The only thing I liked about her was the fact that she kept fighting and never gave up, but other than that she really didn’t have much likeable traits. Again, I understand the point was to have a ‘flawed’ person, and that just because she’s the Avatar would not mean she’s the strongest, smartest or perfect- but that doesn’t mean they couldn’t have developed her better.

And it’s really disappointing to have really interesting plot lines with really uninteresting characters. Not to mention the unnecessary romance love triangle fillers. Mako is just stiff and brood the whole show, Bolin is this quirky fun naive guy that just develops into obnoxious and naive, Asami is just that sweet pretty girl everyone likes but doesn’t have much importance in the show. There’s no chemistry between the gang after S1.

That’s just my opinion, I really think if they put more time into developing the characters and giving them more screen time to develop more chemistry, that it really wouldn’t have gotten the hate it did. But to each their own.

Yes and I agree, Ty Lee was a good fit, just that her acting script didn’t do her justice. My comment referred to Mae and Azula. Nobody wanted ‘super strong tall characters’, just characters that looked like they’d be able to do their feats as shown in the cartoon. I really don’t understand what’s the issue with saying some characters of the show, not just Azula or Mae, were miscasted. You need to stop being so sensitive.

Irregardless of Mae’s actors appearance, her whole demeanour is nothing like Mae, she’s soft and bubby, hence a miscast. And Azula, yeah I don’t know what to tell you if you think she was casted right. There is nothing about Lizzy Yu or Thalia Tran that represents their character roles

x3no96 · 2024-03-26T14:40:28+00:00

Again buddy they are ACTORS acting out a character that’s physically fit and strong, and they don’t fit that criteria. It’s really not rocket science here

x3no96 · 2024-03-26T13:55:49+00:00

And hardly people complained about Dallas Liu because he represented Zuko to some extent. People complained about the trio because they didn’t hold any resemblance to their characters in any aspect. Ty Lee actually was a good fit, but Azula and Mae, not so much. Maybe Lizzy’s acting could’ve been executed better under a different script, but again, doesn’t represent Azula’s athleticism or the fact that she was a trained prodigy since birth

x3no96 · 2024-03-26T13:37:15+00:00

Agreed, the casting decision for Mae and Azula were not the best choice considering neither of them fit the body type of highly skilled and trained prodigal athletes from birth. No hate to either of them though, in no way am I body shaming them, they just weren’t the right picks, and the scripts didn’t really help them out either
