my mind: sokka was killed in lok and his entire character was thrown away. his impact on the world could have been expanded upon in the show but it wasn’t, and we’ll never know what he accomplished or how he grew up. we’ll never know how he adjusted to his life well after the war. we’ll never know anything more about his career or accomplishments than his job as councilman.

also my mind: sokka is alive

amon as a character deserved better than being turned into a trite bullshit plot point to give a bad deus ex machina into a second season and also should never have been a bender at all and thats my hot take of the night

ten episodes building up a character who has in no way any resemblance to any water bender at all, ever, and whose motivations are entirely confined to a perspective of equal disenfranchisement and has been taking the opportunity to hit back where they were hit first? oh, sorry, our bad, we were kidding, he’s actually an evil bloodbender who has been duping and betraying all of you all along

and then when fans rightly call us out for a number of years repeatedly at length in person on social media etc for how badly handled and fucked up and bungled this commentary on oppression was we’re going to bring the movement for equality back and have them be duped by an EVIL DEFORMED BENDER WHO IS CONTROLLING ALL OF THEM FOR HIS OWN AGENDA AND THEN THEY WILL BE PUNISHED IN ACCORDANCE TO HIS EVIL CONTROLLING WAYS BECAUSE THE OPPRESSED CANT MAKE DECISIONS FOR THEMSELVES AND WILL ALWAYS BE USED AS A WEAPON AGAINST THEMSELVES BY THEIR DISABLED OPPRESSORS

also why wasnt the lieutenant their lead. why. why didnt they bring that perfectly good well motivated character with a lust for revenge and a big hateboner for his dead boss back to lead the nonbenders in the future seasons why can literally nothing in the atla universe ever be about nonbenders at all ever except as sidenotes in the narratives of benders

we’re coming up on the sixth anniversary of lok s1ep12 “endgame” and once again i am livid for a million reasons but i want to go ahead and go over again that if your solution to writing in systemic disenfranchisement to your secondary world is to make the incredibly charismatic leader of the movement a member of the oppressive class living an alternate life, whitewash him, and then have him and his brother commit murder/suicide all in the name of being approved for putting a second season on the air rather than telling an effective narrative and then never talk about that plotline ever again and have the rest of the series deal with it by making thousands of people suddenly develop magic superpowers and gain access to an ethnicity that they are not a part of and devaluing their life as disenfranchised second class citizens your tv show is bad and you should feel bad
