Group chat with people talking about the eclipse and someone brought up Avatar. I now have ATLA zoomies about it I need to skip work and go rewatch it

[phantomrose96]

It's such an absolutely beautiful and natural way to put forward the stakes that "you have an opportunity where the entire nation you're fighting is collectively depowered but you have exactly 8 minutes to get it done or you're screwed." Anime-ass stakes with a perfect explanation. And it would obviously have been an easy slam-dunk opportunity to build up a big-ol anime finale fight and have Aang defeat Ozai with seconds to spare.

But instead they LOST. And that's so so much more compelling to me. The Fire Nation was prepared. Aang never even got within sniffing distance of Ozai. Their invasion was never a threat.

But what the Fire Royal Family DIDN'T prepare for was Zuko's betrayal - Zuko who of course was in on everything and so knew where his father was - leading to the single best monologue in children's cartoon history. And STILL the implications of it all. That Zuko didn't just take his swords and lop his father's head off, which Ozai calls him a COWARD for. But Zuko says it's not his place - and he's likely right - what peace is there in the violence of a prince assassinating his father to steal power from him? What peace is there in Zuko doing exactly the same patricidal grab for the throne as his father did before him? Maybe there could be. But Zuko is placing his faith in having the Avatar end it.

And yet still. IS Zuko a coward for doing it this way? Here? Now? Speaking his mind to his father only while his father is powerless? Echoing the one-on-one confrontation which, last time, ended with half of Zuko's face burned off? Is he a coward to say this all to his father at the single moment that his father's hands cannot burn off the other side of Zuko's face?

And the fact that Zuko was gulled into sticking around past the eclipse's totality. The fact that Ozai DID get to take his second shot at Zuko - lightning now instead of fire - lethal now instead of maiming - an attempt to kill this time rather than an attempt to punish - only to have Zuko successfully deflect it with Uncle's technique with a water bender's technique with non-violent redirection when bending an element that only knows direct assault.

I have the zoomies I have to go rewatch all of avatar right now boss-man please let me leave early.

Ralfus in s2 vs Giki in s2

The main conceit of the finale seems to be there's no do overs. There's no going back. Betty can't take back her decisions. And Simon can't recover what he lost to the Crown.

Ultimately, Fionna and Cake was a story of accepting your life, no matter how much it hurts to do so.

A bad situation sometimes just needs to be left behind, or else you go crazy constantly trying to fix it. Somethings can't be fixed, but that doesn't have to be the ending.

COMING DECEMBER 7TH!!

From Luke Pearson himself; The third and final season of Hilda is coming on December 7th! It's been an incredible 5 years with this show. It's meant a lot to me and I love dearly (as much as Gravity Falls and in some ways even more probably). It will be heartbreaking to bid it farewell, but I have faith it that we will be saying goodbye in the best way possible. I am beyond excited for this!! Time for one final adventure!
