My painting of Sonam’s temple for Avatar Aang. Much of the work I did on this film was developing the style for the ancient flashback sequences!

Anyone else notice how Tagah's airbending form here is identical to the form used to lightning bend?

(Zuko is hit by Tagah here in the same location Azula hit him in, btw) A direct, close range hit from this form in specific is an almost guaranteed death too. Tagah kills the gaang with this form like how Azula killed Aang. Being shot point blank with the technique pretty much insta killed them

It's the same charge, same stance, same speed, same precision, same level of lethality

I wonder if lightning bending is originated in airbending the same way lightning redirection is originated from waterbending. If you think about it scientifically it kind of makes sense. Lightning is (simply) a large energy release that generates heat. Airbenders release energy as apart of their bending and firebenders draw from the inner flame.

Combining energy release with the inner flame must be something that was done at some point, I wonder if that's how lightning bending came to be. Tagah's energy can be redirected the same lightning can too

Dude shoots at Aang and Aang just does a huge return to sender back at him. This is still airbending by Aang had to similarly refocus it from himself over to the source such as you do with redirecting lightning

I'm really interested in the possibility of ancient airbenders creating the forms used by other elements now. Tagah airbends like a firebender does throughout the movie if you compare him and Aang side by side. Yes waiter more air nomad lore because this whole concept of airbenders being the root of all forms is really tickling my brain

I absolutely love that Ride or Die chose a car chase culminating in a drive off a cliff as their climactic villain defeat.

Thelma and Louise is far and away the most well-known Girl BFF story, and the most comparable to Judith and Debbie’s situation. (Platonic bordering on a secret third thing resulting in an undying loyalty to each other above everything else in their lives). You could plausibly recommend Ride or Die to someone as “Thelma and Louise if Thelma was James Bond.”

Choosing a car chase, which Thelma and Louise did to subvert the genre and evoke action-movie themes, was brilliant. It added a tension to the scene in Ride or Die, which makes the viewer immediately think that these two best friends are going to ride off a cliff together and the series will end as ambiguously as its predecessor by leaving it unclear if they’ve died.

But Ride or Die is ALSO a demonstration of how the most common action tropes are subverted by this best friendship. So when Debbie pulls out the grappling hook, of course it’s the one unfamiliar with the genre that provides the solution. Ana, for all her training, cannot predict Debbie. The viewer, primed to expect a dramatic sail over the cliff in the grand tradition of female buddy movies, experienced the same surprise as Ana that she is defeated.

The comedy doubles when Debbie insists they check the body because she will tolerate no ambiguity in the way that Thelma and Louise did.

Ultimately, Ride or Die is exactly what it implies in the title: an ode to the bonds between women. Of course it evoked its most identifiable predecessor.

And then, of course, it immediately subverted it. A perfect climactic scene. I adore it and this show, and it deserves every bit of flowers I’m sure will come its way.
