"But I can't just KILL Ozai! wHaT aBoUt wHaT tHe mOnKs tAuGhT mE?" -The "hero" of the story lmfao
(yes I get it, it's supposed to be a kids show, but still...)
the thing is- Aang himself understands that his strict adherence to his values is not always a positive thing, i remember in one of the comics (or a later season) he outright calls it his own flaw
if not for the lion turtle giving him an alternative moments before, he'd have to either kill, or watch the world be destroyed
he later has to face that flaw again (actually this time) in the big graphic novels that came out, they're really good btw. give them a read if you have the time to spare
I think it'd be funny if the energy bending thing was given like a final "oh you actually don't have to kill" but then this power actual fails when the final battle comes... then Aang is like wtf and hesitates but then goes through a bit of internal mental battle and then finally finds the will to kill Ozai anyways and I feel like this would be better character development than a weak-ass oh I didn't kill anyone, just crippled him for life
Like you know those movie plot where a character is like "oh I'll be the bait and lure the enemy and you'll kill them" and promises they won't be in danger, then like when the plan goes through, it's revealed that that character's sacrifice was always necessary but they lied so its easier for that one empathetic character to go along with the plan. Like imagine the lion turtle actually did that instead, it'd be so much better as a plot.
if Aang had to kill Ozai he wouldn't be smiling and waving after Zuko's coronation, he most likely wouldn't even decide to try again with Katara, the story would be forced to turn very dark, very fast, and would need to be given time and space to breathe
final minutes of the last episode are not the time to have a character break their core values, not without a season's worth of set up to get you to that point
Korra is also like extremely lib pilled (THe entire message is like "Extremism is bad folks")
They painted Anarchists as bad. But I say KILL THE EARTH MONARCH LMFAO. (Didn't even watch the whole thing, got too boring, so I just read the wikis)
The anarchists were trying to kill Korra and break the avatar cycle later on because reasons. Pretty sure they didn't want to risk another Kyoshi, which in all honesty valid. Also they kidnapped the new air nomads but I think that was so they could kidnap Korra so... Yeah.
Legit I think Korra would've joined them had they not started fucking with her, especially since outside of Zuko, Tenzin, and her own father damned near every person in power she encountered was a damned fine example of why they were right.
Legend of Korra fucked up by making every one of the bad guys except season 2s somewhat reasonable. Amon was a hypocrite but not necessarily wrong from a historical point of view (Dai lee, fire nation), the Red Lotus were just anarchists who went a bit far, and I got bored with season 4 so I can't remember anything about Earth Nation female Bismarck.
Yeah instead he did the moral thing… permenantly disabling him?
