It's disturbing how much rage bait ONE line said by a young teenage girl in an EW cover story with so much other content can generate. Dozens and dozens and dozens of click bait articles, rage video analyses, and SO many angry meta posts with people practically ready to tear Katara's actress apart with their bare hands. All for having the audacity to say that she found some of Sokka's more brazenly sexist lines "iffy" in the OG cartoon. She implied it wouldn't translate as well in a live action and that they had toned it down, and you'd think she announced the Avatar is going to be a warmonger the way the internet's turned on her.
This week's fandom discourse has been about as low key and rational as S1 Zuko being offered some calming Jasmine tea...

Thinking abt the air nomads:
What if, after the war, once the dust has settled a little, Aang goes back to travelling, hoping that maybe he can find at least some trace of surviving airbenders. As an added bonus, he gets to do more of the exploring and wandering that he had to put on hold.
Toph goes with him ofc. She only just got a taste of real freedom and it was overshadowed by ever-present impending doom. While she's on speaking terms with her parents, she isnt quite ready to be back under their roof on a permanent basis. The rest of the gaang have their individual homes and responsibilities that they get back to, though they join for the odd field trip or adventure when they can.
So anyway, they're touring all over the world and over the years they notice just how displaced so many people have become. EK citizens who barely escaped the blaze but lost everything; FN military now decommissioned with no idea how to carry on; people looking for a new start in the hard-won peace. Maybe it starts with Toph heading back to Earth Rumble, where a group of young runaways scrounge for cheap fights to make a little money.
At each turn they find more and more people with no homes to return to and no family to protect them; runaways escaping the roles the war forced them into. Gradually, Aang and Toph start to see that they aren't so different from themselves. They just want a new start.
So they decide to give them one. They clean up the temples and set up villages in the surrounding areas (helps to be master earthbenders), where people can arrive and stay as long as they need. Travellers and refugees pass through in droves, sometimes choosing to stay and rebuild their lives there, sometimes continuing in their wandering with a guarantee that they'll always have a place to return to should they have the need.
Over time, the lemurs grow in number and even some flying bison calfs (hybrids with a relative species maybe?), can be seen in the skies. Whenever the founders visit, it isn't the same but Aang feels a little more at home.
The first time someone asks Aang to teach him his philosophies, and expresses his desire to become a monk, how can he refuse? Maybe it's a former soldier, somebody who's done terrible things, looking for a path to redemption. So Aang teaches him, and then he teaches others. And though they may not be airbenders, they are as earnest and faithful as any nun or monk Aang knew before. The temples become filled with new faces: Firebenders, Earthbenders, Waterbenders and non-benders all wearing Air nomad orange and yellow.
Aang always feared that it would be his responsibility to have airbender children, and the idea of forcing that on someone he loved terrified him. Maybe that's why he waited so long before acting on his feelings for his best friend, his travelling companion, his fellow-village builder and temple-restorer. How could they have a truly happy relationship with this pressure hanging over them? He wishes he could be content with the new way of things that he and his friends have created. But he knows that he can't be the last airbender forever...
Nobody knows why some children can bend the elements and others can't. Is it blood? Is it blessing? Is it the land in which you're born? Or is it the simple allocation of fates decided by the values and norms you're raised believing in? Is it enough to be surrounded by the culture and beliefs of the Air Nomads? Nobody knows...
All they know is that nobody sees it coming when the six-year-old daughter of two non-bender villagers from the Earth Kingdom and Northern Water Tribe sends herself flying twelve feet into the air with a sneeze.

What happened to Zuko's honour?
It doesn't seem to be a big deal that he doesn't have any. He doesn't say honour once in the entire first episode. Or at all in the show?
Not that it's a big thing, because I can deal with it. But,
Some Questions I Had While Watching the Series:
Aang is a goofy kid who has a crush on Katara and likes to be immature and have mini adventures. He doesn't want to be the Avatar and he knows he has a responsibility and feels guilty about being gone for 100 years, but he also wants to not think about that. Why is Aang so serious?
Katara talks about her mother a lot because it was traumatic that someone she loved and needed, died when she was a child and she's got no-one who truly understands, but she's able to use that to empathise with Aang and a lot of other characters. And also it's why she's wise and mature beyond her years and motherly and why she's able to help sokka and toph. And why she's the first one to try to help Zuko. So where's Katara?
Sokka isn't funny anymore.
Why were Katara and Sokka in the love tunnel?
How come Uncle Iroh doesn't have a balance between being funny and jovial and being serious.
They gloss over stuff like Hei Bai and the "she was born lucky, father says I was lucky to be born."
What on earth was suki doing not bashing sokka around?
Why was Hahn so nice?
When did Yue become a bender and what sort of plot point is that?
Why didn't Pakku have any connection to Kanna?
What happened to Jeong Jeong? How do they know that Aang has to learn the elements in order so that he gets better?
How will he overcome that block of hurting Katara an the guilt and shame he felt?
Why is Azula insecure?!
Where are Mai and Ty Lee's personalities?
Ozai could have been shown as just a silhouette or idk, for the drama. Obviously he'd speak.
Why was Bumi so angry? The white lotus already has two stern members, it needs some wisdom from insanity for the balance.
When is Aang going to water bend?
Wheres the funny?
Has to be said that Zuko is actually fine and the rest of the cast acted well. The effects were decent (I actually really liked the bending and sets and costumes)

Hello I have been insane about the Toph and Zuko friendship that never was since I first saw it at the tender age of 12 and it changed my brain chemistry forever
Disgraced rich kids with complicated (at best) relationships with their parents
Grew up spoiled and sheltered and can now wield this as a Weapon
Daddy issues
MOMMY ISSUES
Also grew up lonely and isolated, had to learn to survive on their own
I feel like they’d bond over their visible facial abnormalities, and I think Zuko would be kind of fascinated to meet someone who didn’t see the scar first, and then see him like as an afterthought.
I just love the Fun and Feral + Grumpy and Serious dynamic, especially given that they share a deep love for sarcasm
Do I even need to go on? Because I will
I think Zuko is just aching for a sister figure. He managed to kind of fill the father figure void with Iroh, but there’s a huge sister-shaped hole in his heart and Azula will not be filling it any time soon
I think Toph was so lonely and isolated for so long that she doesn’t even know she wants or needs a brother figure until she has one in Zuko. I think the amount of age difference between them is so perfect for fostering this kind of dynamic
I also think it’s so huge and very telling that she was the first to seek him out in canon, I think that would really mean a lot to him and he’d never forget that she did that (regardless of how it turned out)
ZUKO AND TOPH BEST FRIENDS SUPREMACY!!!!!!!!!

i finished the live action avatar and i am now quietly sipping tea while being approximately half full of disappointment, waiting for it to disappear completely because, as uncle iroh said “a moment of quiet is good for your mental well-being“
