Iâve got a lot of Thoughts(tm) about The Odyssey at the moment, but damnit Blum Iâm an archer, not a film critic, so hereâs something in my lane!
Another thing that's funny is the attempt to paint Zuko attacking Aang in Sozin's Comet as traumatic for the gaang (even though they didn't see it that way) because earlier than that Zuko makes a tentative joke about chasing them around like old times and they all laugh (except Katara) and Zuko himself is treading carefully because he's unsure if it's too soon. So this idea that Zuko is somehow being insensitive is just...wrong.
Even Katara, who is upset by the joke and who does yell at Zuko initially before listening to what Zuko has to say, is the one to bring him back into the group hug after that scene and reassure him that he is part of their team.
And that's it, isn't it? These attempts to distance Zuko from the gaang and insist that he actually isn't redeemed enough mostly just exist because they're afraid he'll steal Katara away from Aang.
And the thing that's so weird about trying to frame Zuko freaking out and attacking Aang as being something that must've been soooooooo triggering to the gaang is that if anything, everyone's reaction in that scene is meant to illustrate just how far they've come with trusting Zuko and that he is a full-fledged member of the group. They don't doubt his loyalty for a second. They're confused and demanding an explanation for the erratic behavior, but they still assume his intentions aren't to hurt Aang, which they aren't. Like you watch it half-expecting them to go "oh no, he's switched on us again!!!" and the fact that they don't, that they never think that even for a second, that Sokka is more concerned with his terrible sand sculpture getting ruined, and that Miss "if you give me one reason to think you'll hurt Aang I'll kill you with hammers" has the reaction "What's wrong with you? You could've hurt Aang!" instead of immediately freezing him to the ground, is very much deliberate.
And then once he explains himself they all seem to collectively accept it as a valid crash out and are no longer mad because his erratic behavior makes sense to them and they understand why he reacted the way he did.
It was so asinine to take the explanation that "he was just mad that everyone was relaxing" like????? No he very clearly wasn't. He was crashing out over the fact he was sending an under-prepared child to fight his abuser, and that child seems to not appreciate the gravity of the situation. His goal is pretty clearly not to hurt Aang but to goad him into fighting back, since Aang's fighting style is very avoidant, defensive, and pacifistic, and those are things he can't be if he wants not to die when facing Ozai. When Aang threatens him to stop before he blows Zuko off the roof, Zuko says "Go ahead and do it!" because that is what he wants, he wants Aang to fight back because he thinks Aang is going to get himself killed via his reluctance to fight back. Zuko's father melted half of his face off just for embarrassing him, when Zuko was the same age as Aang. And now he's sending Aang to fight Ozai, and Aang seems to not grasp just how much danger he's in.
Even later on he doesn't seem to get just how at risk of dying he is when Zuko teaches him lightning redirection.
"Well not over over, I mean, there's always Katara and a little spirit water action, right?" And Katara's like "Uhhhhh no, I used it all up the first time. You're fucked."
To me it's a parallel to when Toph goads him into standing up to her because it will help him get in the earthbender mindset by deliberately doing things to upset him, using his staff to crack nuts and smacking it around on everything until he finally puts his foot down.
Oh, yeah, absolutely. And it makes sense for Zuko to freak out about this, too, considering that he knows personally that being defensive and avoidant with Ozai is not going to work. Everything that Zuko keeps saying to Aang in the finale is trying to emphasize to him that Ozai will not show him mercy, and he needs to stop him or he will die.
And, you know what, that DOES almost happen. Aang does almost get killed because he wants to avoid fighting Ozai directly. The way Ozai corners Aang when Aang is being defensive and taunts him for it is very reminiscent of his agni kai with thirteen year old Zuko.
And unfortunately, whereas Zuko tries to impress upon Aang that he won't get an easy solution, the narrative provides Aang with one anyway. It's sooo frustrating, and criticizing Zuko for being right because Aang got his deus ex machina after all only highlights where the narrative fumbles.
And even if we ignore the poor writing they did by giving Aang the deus ex rockina and the lion turtle ex machina, Zuko was still right to act the way he did because he couldn't have possibly known that energy bending was an option. He was acting very understandably based on the information he had. He was harsh in how he spoke to Aang, but it was in a tough-love kind of way because he was legitimately concerned for Aang's life and would rather be a little mean and have Aang come back alive than to baby him and get him (and the rest of the Earth Kingdom) killed because of it.
"Maybe we can make big pots of glue and I can use gluebending to stick his arms and legs together so he can't bend anymore!"
"Yeah, and then you can show him his baby pictures and all those happy memories will turn him good again!"
"Do you really think that would work?"
"NO!"
The entire finale is just Zuko shaking Aang vigorously by the shoulders and slapping him back and forth while he screams "YOU ARE GOING TO DIE!!!!!!!!!" but its okay cause the universe will bend over backwards so that Aang never has to change or make hard decisions. Obviously it would've been tough to have him kill the Fire Lord cause its Nickelodeon but they could've gone the other previously set up route of him having to let go of his unhealthy attachment to Katara, and that could've been the key to him unlocking energy bending. That way they could get away with the energybending loophole and have it feel like it was actually earned and satisfying, and his character actually gets growth and development too instead of never having to change or give anything up.
Blaming Zuko for not knowing about energybending for the purpose of reading his actions in bad faith is like people who criticize L in Death Note for not knowing about the Death Note.
I hate. Microsoft. SO MUCH
it is my second week at a new job. I am meeting with the CEO for the first time this afternoon. and fucking Sharedrive Copoint Onepilot shitfucker just decides to delete every single shared file across the entire company and blame me
I just randomly got an email that started "we noticed you just deleted 200 folders" no I fucking didnae what the fuck are you on about. so I go to the fuckass Sharepoint site and sure enough, everything says "deleted by [Fez] at 12:01pm" okay so when I was in a meeting without my fucking laptop???
apparently what happened is:
Copilot decided it would be convenient to sync the entire company shared drive to my laptop.
the pissass laptop they issued me Cannae Do That and crapped itself looking for hard drive space, leaving the local folder empty.
seeing that the local version of the shared drive was empty, Sharepoint helpfully synced that change back to the server.
I am meeting the CEO in 3 minutes
okay, thank fuck for the recycle bin lmao
JSYK thereâs at least one more recycle bin behind that, thereâs:
Personal recycle bin
Site recycle bin
2nd stage recycle bin
Possibly another BTS that only IT/site admin can get to
And your IT people shouldâve checked there first.
"But what about second breakfast Recycle bin?"
Just one more tax hike bro this time it'll work bro I promise it'll usher in that leftist utopia come on bro please just one more tax hike I swear no one will flee to other states or countries this time bro and we'll get luxury welfare and free healthcare and never have to work again bro if we just raise taxes one more time bro the burden totally won't get transferred to small businesses and the middle class bro cmon
Company executives be like
Guess how much of the cinnamon on the average store shelf was made of actual cinnamon bark before regulations? Go on, guess.
0%
You read that right. The entire shaker of cinnamon was usually ground up bricks before government regulations. Anyone who tells you regulations are bad is trying to do today's equivalent of selling you brick dust while calling it cinnamon.
ITâS A WONDERFUL LIFE (1946) âą JIMMY STEWART as George Bailey and LIONEL BARRYMORE as Mr. Potter
wait WHAT đł i mean that feels accurate but stillâŠ. WHAT.
hereâs the official fbi memo about it! you can view the whole document here
the fbi presented these âfindingsâ to mccarthyâs house unamerican activities committee (huac) in an attempt to get itâs a wonderful life pulled from theaters but huac decided not to take any action
The hero in the story is also a banker. In fact, the owner and manager of the bank.
The target of the story isnât the upper class or the wealthy, rather the implacably greedy. We donât dislike Mr. Potter because he has money, only because he places money as the highest source of value and acts accordingly. George Bailey is capitalism + a concern for the common good.
Kind reminder.
Capitalism isnât Greed they arenât the same.
Greed is a human condition. We are born with it. Capitalism is trade and barter for private ownership. The man here isnât (as stated above) arguing against capitalism. Heâs arguing against greed. Heâs arguing against malice. And frankly heâs arguing for the interest of not just his common man, but for the people in that room. People more comfortable in their lives spend more. Thatâs a reality.
Point of fact for shits and grins:
McCarthy didnât run the house unamerican activities committee.
princess or knight fantasy is fine and acceptable but joking about being a generic forest bandit is TOO FAR. you're being DANGEROUS and REACTIONARY
Why do I keep seeing this fucking argument
Because some people compulsively sort everyone into "powerful oppressors" and "victimized underdogs".
Including violent criminals.
Also, the archetypal historical bandit is the same race as the person he's robbing. In fact, they were often soldiers of the nation who had nothing to do after they were demobbed.
frodo getting criticized for decades for not doing much / not being a hero compared to sam is fitting when you consider mental health and strength is often trivialized. frodo carried the most dangerous and insidious item in middle earth for YEARS. ancient beings (elves, gandalf, etc) were taunted and tempted by it. boromir was corrupted within weeks without even touching it. men and hobbits turned against their brethren for it. killed for it. and frodo, with a wound from a morgul knife, bore itâs weight when no one else could. had it been anyone else, middle earth would have fallen.
no, he couldnât have done it without his samwise. but isnât that a lesson in itself?
Bryke do not understand their own inspirations.
Bryan stated, âI agree with him wholeheartedly,â in reference to a quote from Hayao Miyazaki: âIâve become skeptical of the unwritten rule that just because a boy and girl appear in the same feature, a romance must ensue. Rather, I want to portray a slightly different relationship, one where the two mutually inspire each other to live. If Iâm able to, then perhaps Iâll be closer to portraying a true expression of love.â
Yet Bryan fails to realize that Zuko and Katara resemble the kind of relationship Miyazaki is describing.
Bryan himself said, âZuko and Katara might have shared some sparks, but sometimes there are people along your âjourney of loveâ who are there to teach you about yourself and what you really need, but donât necessarily end up being your partner.â
He also said, âNot to say that Zuko didnât mean something to her, and vice versa. They learned a lot from each other. Much like in life, you have relationships with different people, and they teach you different things. Just because youâre not going to spend your whole life with someone doesnât mean you didnât grow with them or learn from them as a lover.â
Mako and Korra do not fit Miyazaki's quote because they were actually in a romantic relationship and only broke up because it became a plot tumor that audiences hated. However, Bryke pretend that the romance was intentionally made bad because they were supposedly aiming to subvert clichés all along by having them not end up together. What a load of bullshit.
ATLA had a Miyazaki-esque couple in Zuko and Katara the entire time, but the creators were too dense to connect the dots, and they misrepresented what Miyazaki said to justify their horrible romance writing in TLOK.
"Irish teacher Enoch Burke was barred entry to the Christian school where he works because he refused to refer to a child as "they." Note the symbolism here â foreign security guard prevents him from going to work because he rejects regime ideology."
I wonder if it would have anything to do with the tens of millions of migrant strangers arriving and introducing brand new strains of bacteria, parasites, and third world hygienic non-practices into western nations.
"There's an 80% correlation between the population of Black people and gun murder rates in a given area."
"MARTA rolled out its $130 million Better Breeze system in early 2026, featuring sturdier sliding gates and contactless payments at 38 rail stations to cut evasion rates that hit 20% at some spots. But videos show repeat smash-and-grabs, like at Dunwoody and Lindbergh Center, with police making 40 arrests since June 1 and each panel replacement costing over $500âa felony under Georgia law."
