    Well said. They really did drop the ball on that aspect. I still think that it would have been more appropriate for Aang to have to get over it and do what needs to be done. It's a better and more applicable moral message imo. But I fully understand what the creators were going for and I don't think they were wrong to stick to it. A victim of genocide taking a hard (ironically stubborn) stance about staying true to the values of his culture regardless of circumstance is a striking story and not a bad idea by any means.

    It really does all just come down to the double dose of deus ex machina from the lion turtle and the convenient chakra-realigning pointy rock.

    Edit: Just realized I'm posting in a community for masculinity, my bad. Did not realize ATLA was just for the booooyyyyssss :quagsire-pog:

    Seriously though I now understand the context of the post. My bad.
