235 FAVORITE SHIPS OF ALL TIME (ranked by my followers) 72. sara lance and ava sharpe - legends of tomorrow

#lot #avalance #ugh I miss legends so much #I want the spinoff show where they raise their kid #(even tho technically I hated that aspect of the storyline but let's bring back legends any which way)

My new favorite excuse for not jumping on new trends or bandwagons is 'I'm 30.' No more explanation needed because anyone under 30 just thinks I'm old and everyone over 30 understands implicitly

#people under 30 have SO much energy for certain kinds of debates #it's kind of true

The core of Sokkas character is that he is a 16-year-old boy who grew up trying to be a man because that is what his tribe needed after his father left for war. In that attempt, as someone immature and unguided, he had sexist attitudes, only to later mature and become a real man.

His character development is very special because it teaches little boys the true meaning of being a man. The fact that they remove his sexism in the live action speaks to the fact that they did not understand his character

With no flaws there can't be any grow

The thing about Katara is that she was angry.

She was angry that the Fire Nation killed her mother.

She was angry that her father left them.

She was angry that she was the only Waterbender left in the south pole.

She was angry that the only person her age was her brother, who constantly disregarded her interests and her role in the tribe.

She was angry that what little waterbending she knew, had to be self-taught and how she struggled with that.

she was angry that a twelve year old instantly picked up what had taken her a long time to learn.

she was also angry that her tribe wanted to kick that twelve year old into the wilderness over a mistake.

she was angry over the earth-benders the fire nation had captured and put into a metal box.

she was angry.

And she knew she was angry.

Because she knew her own anger, she was the first to empathize with Aang when he got angry.

And it was because of it she could tell Aang forcing himself to lock his emotions up was not the answer.

Because she knew her own anger, she kept herself under control in the dessert, when everyone else was a mess.

Her anger empowered her. where anger was a tool of self-destruction for firebenders, for her it was what helped her push forward.

It was her anger that freed Aang.

It was her anger that helped her stand to Pakku.

Her anger was her strenght.

She was angry. And this was neither a mistake, nor a writing flaw.

it's so fun how they removed sokka's sexism because it's "problematic" but then took away every aspect of katara that made her who she is and completely flattened her personality in a way that leaves none of the aspects that made her a feminist character and in a way that is only ever done to female characters and by fun i mean im going to kill them

koheletgirl

it's so fun how they removed sokka's sexism because it's "problematic" but then made suki a nepo baby who spends the whole episode making heart eyes at sokka and getting flustered around him because she saw him shirtless and who grew up sheltered and has never seen the world (by which she means boys) and who spends no time talking to or about the other kyoshi warriors, and it's so fun how instead of her teaching sokka that women are just as worthy and capable as men it's her thanking sokka for "bringing the world to her", and by fun i mean im going to kill them

#atla #kinda glad I'm not watching this show lol

your show doesn't pass the bechdel test.

tallgirlpetunia

Sokka 's whole arc in the original is about how he's scared and inexperienced, so he latches onto toxic masculinity as a crutch. Then, through traveling the world and broadening his horizons, as well as gaining skills and confidence, he realizes this viewpoint is wrong and finds a positive, balanced masculinity to identify with.

Likewise, Aang needs to be whiny and distractible at the beginning so we can see him mature.

If your characters are already mature, then you don't get to grow with them, and also why are you making a show ABOUT CHILDREN?

As for the Bechdel test....I dunno man. It's not really important but also it's the BARE MINIMUM.

Ugh.

#atla #this is reminding me of the similar but opposite thing #like the harry potter movies removing hermione's flaws #and giving her some of ron's best lines and moments #like please stop!
