"Isn't Aang supposed to get shot with lightning almost immediately in the original?"
"Yeah but we want to see some flashy action so the audience isn't bored."
"But the only reason Azula gets the shot off is because Aang had only just mastered it. If he's fully aware now, he wouldn't—"
"Who cares, it's all the same in the end. We'll have him toss Azula away and not finish her off all dramatic like so that she takes the shot later."
"Why would he let her do that?"
"Because the plot needs to! Come on, it's not a big deal. Stop crying about small changes. He needs to get shot by Azula and he does by the end. Shut up about it."
"None of these changes are small..."
It was kinda important she shot him in the back in the cartoon cuz how the fuck you gonna catch 1000 avatars off guard from the front like that she shoulda got torn in half for trying this shit😂
