Kill Bill is a 2-Part movie, but worth it.

I get that she had a tough upbringing, but watching her flasgback of her being mean was just a red flag buffet Yeah... I felt that too. Blind pacifism is dangerous, just play The Walking Dead and see how pacifism works out.

I know it's way too late now but y'know. Totally gonna watch Kill Bill when I can, I need to see more.

2023-02-09 03:16:37 +0000 UTCWelp, I guess I don't really need to explain why this show has such a reputation now, since you've seen the whole thing. I don't know if I recommend the sequel series (it's a bit divisive), but I'll definitely vote for it when I can. It's worth watching, even if only for the choreography. There was so much I wanted to say about Azula, but I guess since you said a lot of it for me I'll just summarize it. Seeing the blue and red flames of the final Agni Kai reminded me of Sozin's blue dragon and Roku's red dragon, one path of brutality and conquest and another of discipline and peace. That, along with Azula's breakdown, made me feel pretty bad for her. Don't get me wrong, a handful of sympathetic qualities don't make a sympathetic character, but seeing a character vulnerable is like seeing them at their most human and Azula at her most human is someone deeply broken and damaged and hurt and it's hard to hate something so pitiful, especially when things could have turned out very differently for her had she been raised like an actual person. We saw what she was like in a casual setting back on Ember Island, just completely unable to function socially when she's not plotting something for trying to get on Ozai's good side, her whole existence dedicated to being on top and in charge and powerful and when she loses all of that she just completely breaks and falls apart into a hysterical puddle of misery. She's done plenty of awful things to deserve this outcome, but christ man I think she might need a hug too now (if she doesn't kill the person giving it to her). As for Aang, a lot of this show's more frustrating aspects are often a result of the fact that this show has to be appropriate for younger audiences, another fun show called Gravity Falls (I'd vote that in too) was CONSTANTLY fighting censors behind the scenes and Gravity Falls is a lot less serious in tone than Avatar. So Aang being so stubbornly pacifist, aside from being a product of his upbringing, is probably just the writers saying "See? See?! We're saying that killing is wrong! Please don't cancel our show!". This would also explain the last minute Energy Bending deus ex machina. Yeah, unless Toph and Sokka search that whole forest I'm pretty sure Jet-Black Cosmos Cleaver (that's my name for Space Sword) is gone for good. RIP Space Sword. Not much else to cram into this one comment, I don't wanna make you read TWO walls of text like I did with Jujutsu Kaisen so I'll just end things off by saying that I wish the west treated animation as a respectable medium and not just something for kids' cartoon's and "adult animation" (lowbrow shit for teenagers). Netflix is making a Live Action adaptation of this story and given how the original creators reacted to having their trust betrayed by Netflix in regards to faithfulness and Netflix's own track record with shitty adaptations of things that don't need shitty adaptations, I think it's safe to say that whatever they cook up is dead in the water. But I prefer to focus on the positive, and positive this show is. The kind of thing that just gets better with age.
