Finally a serious discussion about this episode 🙏
this is so important ‼️

Worms in your brains because how tf you don't see it
Finally a serious discussion about this episode 🙏

Atla fans will find the way to downplay South Asians and Hindus
Right lol? Why did everyone in that thread just gloss over the fact that the guru is a racist caricature of Hindus created by white men? People also love to ignore all the south Asian influences in the ATLA world, including the word avatar itself and the concept of 4 elements
Exactly like it's been tiring 😞

When we talk about the amount of war crimes by Turkey People forget to mention how much Turkish invaders literally plundered India. Before all monarchs in India had rules to not attack civilians and then arrived barbaric Turkic invadors. They brutally murdered civilians. Turkey needs to be held accountable for these war crimes too. Idc how long it has been
missed them
do you see the tree trembling ??? he didn't need the avatar state to beat ozai, his right hook would've been enough
It's giving Anti Buddha who was quietly meditating under the tree 😭
Kataang .
She is perfectly cast unlike Aang ( who should have been Indian or Nepalese) and Sokka
Also people saying Aang is perfectly cast ethnicity wise. You all can go to hell :)
P.S Gordon I love you it's not your fault but i hate the casting department and I hate this ignorant racist fandom
#cabbage guy being in the adaption is very important to me
i am loving the upgraded omashu court fashion 👀 bumi the last dripbender
yes yes yes! I already said it in a discord but the pagri is giving bajirao mastani, which has some of the best costuming in Bollywood history
Prefer the original one thou ..The animated one gave Bhumi 'horn head gear' similar to carvings in Indus valley civilization..
South Asian and Hindu Influences in ATLA (Part 1)
disclaimer: i was raised culturally and religiously hindu, and though i've tried to do my research for this post and pair it with my own cultural knowledge, i'm not an expert on hinduism by any means. should i mess up, please let me know.
please also be aware that many of the concepts discussed in this post overlap heavily with religions such as buddhism and jainism, which might have different interpretations and representations. as i'm not from those religions or cultures, i don't want to speak on them, but if anyone with that knowledge wishes to add on, please feel free.
it's well-known that atla draws from indigenous, east and southeast asian influences, but something i rarely see discussed in the fandom is the influences the show takes from hinduism and south asia, and there are actually far more than i think people are aware of.
so here's a (non-exhaustive list) of the main inspirations atla drew from south asian culture and hinduism, starting with...
ATLA live action cast more Indian actors challenge since that's the culture your entire premise is based on 🙄
Didn't see ATLA fans even fight for it . These westerners are such a piece of work

I did not have high expectations to begin with, but I am genuinely blown away by how much I despise NATLA. Every moment reeks of cynical corporate cowardice. "We can't have Sokka be sexist, people will think we're endorsing sexism!" "We can't have Katarra be angry, people will think she's a nag!" "We can't have Aang abandon his responsibilities on purpose, people might think he's bad or flawed instead of the perfect good hero!" Just, decision after decision that demonstrates not only a complete misunderstanding of the source material, but a lack of understanding of, like, stories in general. Of why they work. Of why we even bother to tell them. Every decision made in NATLA feels like it was born in a board room and designed to make the characters and world a more palatable product, something they could more easily sell, something that will go down smooth and not offend anyone. Well, newsflash, assholes; I'm pretty fuckin' offended, and I'm not alone. You're too cowardly to give your characters flaws they need to work to overcome, but you have no problem showing a genocide onscreen, that's fine. Character development is bad! Let's replace it all with pointless action scenes and the dryest, most sleepily delivered exposition in the history of film! Fun? We can't show our characters having fun. Fun is for children. What's that? Our characters are children? Well, too bad, our target audience is people who liked Game of Thrones, so those kids are just gonna have to learn to be miserable.
Alright, I gotta stop talking about this or I'm going to choke someone, possibly myself.
You also forgot to mention how they actually thought that brown people are interchangeable and no representation of North East Indian...why you atla fans always excluding. The whole omanshu was so disappointing. They should do better
Avatar the last Airbender fans talk so much about perfection in casting of accurate descent actor but Avatar is rooted in Hinduism and Buddhism also originated in India . Buddha was born in Nepal ...so the casting of Aang should have been from Nepal/North Eastern/ Tibetan descent. Why does this fandom always erases ancient India influence. Also saying Buddhism influence is never going to take away from ancient Indian influence. India originated Buddhism. Especially ethnicity I belong to ,they spread it .My ancestor helped in Buddha achieving his enlightenment. You people were mad about sokka casting why was their not fight enough for Indian subcontinent representation? You people fought a lot for water tribe casting. People are just hypocrites and also racist towards South Asian in atla fandom. Considering how racist are east Asian and SEA region people towards South Asian.. oh well the casting...
And dear westerners croony sjws of atla fandom please get in your head easily that Asians are not interchangeable..
PS: there is no hate for any actor being cast Gordon is the loveliest kid .I am just angry at casting and atla fandom (who are not so woke and as educated). Lack of enthusiasm and acknowledgment towards this is very very disappointing. Especially this fandom really throws their half baked ideologies on others. Just do better
THANK YOU I’VE BEEN SAYING THE SAME THING FOR AGES
there is no desi or hindu-coded rep other than maybe guru pathik, despite so much of the lore coming from hinduism and buddhism, two dharmic religions
and I might get hate for this but I’ve seen a decent enough number of people try to correct this by trying to add muslim rep on fanon or in fics or whatever and no!! that’s nowhere near the same thing! we are not interchangeable, ESPECIALLY when it comes to this!
Why should they hate when they spoke so strongly about Inuit being casting as water tribe. When it comes to hinduism why people act so passive. I did not even like what they even did to omanshu with whole middle eastern influnence. And why do other brown people suddenly want westerner to think we are interchangeable. There was so much debate during Ms Marvel casting and I am bringing the same debate here But showing zero enthusiasm towards being perfect ethnicity casting towards aang. Casting of more Indian ( mostly north eastern) or Nepalese. The core of avatar is hinduism because it does believe in soul/ incarnation. It's just upsetting to see people don't acknowledge it
