    I would agree if it werent for the entire episodes devoted to aang trying to find any way not to kill him and even all his past lives are like kill that fucker, and then its resolved with a deus ex machina of him hitting that rock and unlocking the super state and inventing this power. Could ahve worked, but the show painstakingly set up the OPPOSITE

      No, I agree that I think the way they resolved Aang's pacifism was lazy and seems to contradict everything else the show was telling us up to that point. It's one of the weakest things about the original show, and the most lib. However I get why the network maybe didn't want a kids show to end with the protagonist straight up killing someone, so I'm curious how much of that ending was the writers vs the network.
