That's not what Aang's struggle was
Aang just doesn't want to take another person's life period because he's from a culture of pacifistic monks
Kevin Morris
Only because Aang has a choice.
If Ozai was a breath away from murdering Katara, for example, Aang would have turned him into paste.

Immature 12 year old kids that are reincarnations of men who fused with a literal god should probably be allowed to play god though.

Literally the entire story was leading up to Aang finding a way to not kill Ozai. It's the fucking Luke Skywalker narrative. Everyone thought Darth Vader needed to die, including his old Jedi masters, but Luke proved he could be redeemed, and thus surpassed his teachers, doing what they couldn't. In Aang's case, this was the ultimate sign of his master as an Avatar.

In this thread, Avatar fans will pretend to be confused by the concept of proper criminal justice by an unbiased jury.
Adam Campbell
I love that even the Air Nomad avatar before Aang told him to kill Ozai.
Jacob Lee
That's not what he said, Ozai wouldn't win.

I remember that when Azula used this as a concept to take over the earth kingdom was super stupid

They didn't have justice. They had Just Us.

when there is a literal living proof, yes

Divine Right is completely different in a world where the divine are known and their influence can readily be displayed and proven you retard. If Louis XIV was capable of proving that God was literally sanctifying his rule people would have shat their pants and there probably wouldn't have been a French Revolution.

It's called religious conviction. You wouldn't understand.
Neither do, but I respect the hell out of it.
Liam Rodriguez
Isn’t enlightenment the end goal of his entire culture? It must suck to know you can’t get that because you’re to babysit the world

>durr if he tried to kill my live interest then I would kill him
>not for the millions that he has killed and torture
Aang was a selfish faggot
Angel Cooper
at least Aang took away Ozai's power, Trudeau just does nothing
Nathaniel Anderson
>every one of his past lives tells him it doesnt matter if he kills him
>fellow air nomad basically tells him that their religion is BS and that Ozai should die for killing their people
>Roku, the person that made the same mistake before, begs him otherwise the concept of the avatar as a person would mean nothing
Lol nah
Cameron Martin
This.
Asher Taylor
The ending of book 2 even ripped off Empire lol.

Energy bending would have been fine if Aang came about it on his own instead of a magic turtle showing up and poking him and now all his personal problems are solved without any work on his part.
Robert Moore
Maybe there's a difference between saving others and getting vengeance you fucking retard.
Grayson Roberts
I just bought a gram of Resin just because the strain was called Fire Bender
Henry Miller
weird how only his head arror lights up there
Carter Ward
Why didn't he just rape Ozai?
Easton Morales
I think the issue with it was mostly figuring out how to organically weave it into the final parts of the show without making the ending way too obvious. Like, I can't think of a way to even introduce it earlier without basically ruining any conflict or questioning leading up to the finale.
Realistically, replacing energybending with amon style bloodbending would've been a better way to do that. Aang having to struggle with the morality of either murdering ozai or learning this basically evil form of bending and permanently crippling him.
Ian Reed
It's about prioritizing the world over the values of your culture. Being the Avatar is the ultimate sacrifice.

I mean, just put it into the Library like they did with the magic turtle, just replace the turtle with it. Then when he's talking to the other avatars, have him mention it, and in the meditation is where he gets the idea of how it can work.
