I could go on for days about how Aang's conflict between his pacifistic ideology and his duty as Avatar was poorly handled, but my gripe can be easily summarized by this line from Lord Ravencraft's video on Animorphs:

If the end result of your moral choice is still injustice, slavery, and death, then you have to ask yourself what's the point in making the moral choice in the first place?

#anti bryke #atla critical #to be clear i have zero desire to see aang canonically kill ozai #i just wish this plot had been given the nuance and depth aang sorely needed after regressing thanks to brykes favoritism #aang absolutely needed to confront this shit to grow and overcome his achilles heel #but instead he indulges in his fatal flaw and gets rewarded w deus ex bender bending #i despise how he gets the easy button while everyone else has to struggle #like fuck. i really wanted to like him but his (aka brykes) aversion to growth and his later nice guy behavior made me hate him
