u know what? that "engineering students can't explain why nazis are bad" post rubs me the wrong way. i can point out a gaggle of english literature students, comparative literature students, linguistics students, who are also unable to explain why nazism is "bad". i don't think it's a disciplinary problem, it's an institutional problem, and the bourgeois university exists within capitalist relations, which in turn, have had a fascist streak since, idk... the second half of the 1800s?

[theinturnetexplorer]

what a deal.

And then your hip would break because their medical staff is garage and they don’t have the same regulations as over so no you’re back to square one you fucking tool

[ksylofonimandariini]

that is american propaganda used to justify their lack of a working healthcare system. it’s not true and even if it was what good would having slightly better healthcare do if it’s only accessible by the richest members of society?

[valendeln]

You absolute fucking clown. Lmao

[aberrantemotion]

Damn. Spains healthcare sure isnt garage like they said

Where the fuck is that person, just asking

[anadiableau]

Okay but honestly fucking shit like this when they show Zuko’s scar side when talking about Sozin and then having the bar pass and have his non-scar side when Iroh says Roku is his great grandfather if EXACTLY the kind of shit that elevates this show to where really no other show has ever come and probably never will

[dudeinpyjamas]

I mean if you frame it in a photo it looks much better, in reality it was a moving shot. Still nice but not amazing. What really is an amzing shot is this

Who is realy imprisioned here? The way this shot is framed makes it clear that Zuko is in a prison of his own mind. In fact you can look at how Zuko and Iroh are generally framed in this scene

Zuko:

and Iroh:

Even in shots where Iroh is framed together with the iron bars he is far removed from them while Zuko is right in front:

What takes the cake though is the following shot sequence:

When it shows Iroh it zooms in from this:

To this:

While with Zuko it’s the exact reverse. It zooms out from this:

To this:

Say what you want but man Avatar had some amazing shot composition. 

Also the reason The Last Airbender was better than Korra is because atla had Zuko and Iroh, while Korra didn’t. Fight me.

In addition to this scene being very well done, the whole The Avatar and the Firelord episode is just genius. It just makes the parallels between Zuko and Aang so much more powerful in retrospect. They weren’t on parallel paths just because. They were on parallel paths because they’re two parts of one lineage: Roku’s Fire Nation lineage and his spiritual-mediator Avatar lineage. And throughout the series the two of them are paired up through visual language, and the show even goes as far as match-cuts between the two of them as they’re in different locations and different fights. I forget where, but I KNOW there’s a shot where Aang is dodging in a fight and basically running towards the viewer and it cuts straight to Zuko doing the exact same thing, like they’re two enactments of one story.

And the twin blades? Zuko himself says they’re two halves of a single weapon, and shouldn’t be thought of as separate. The twin blades which we really first see in The Blue Spirit storyline, in which Aang asks Zuko if they COULD HAVE BEEN FRIENDS. It’s been stated that the blades represent the good and evil parts of Zuko, but isn’t that just a direct result of him grappling with his lineage, which is directly tied to Aang?

In conclusion: I am not ok and will never be ok. Thanks Avatar.

Yall really out here in 2018 STILL shipping zutara? Come on. This isn’t 2010 anymore, we’re not on the wikia discussion forums, we’re not straight anymore. Zuko is gay

[instantlyregrettingthis]

But… for who?

[frogadir]

Sokka. Next question

[the-memedaddy]

[jhoca]

I want to remind everyone that at some point bffs zuko and sokka were both ruling countries in their mid-20s and they probably had to go to a lot of important international meetings…but all they do is whisper dumb jokes to each other

honestly? the definition of a power couple (also on twitter / instagram)
