Alright, last thing I'll say on the matter (at least this time around):

Narratively, the Avatar State was never shown as a Super Saiyan type power up. I'm not doing power scaling here, I'm talking about the narrative.

The Avatar State is a Conflict Ender, like the Chaos Emeralds in Sonic. Almost every single time Aang used it in the original show, it ended the conflict.

Episode 1 - defeats Zuko and his crew, escaping.
Fire sage Temple - Roku inhabits Aang's body, wipes the fire benders and sinks the building in Lava.
Northern Water Tribe - annihilates the ENTIRE Fire Nation navy with help from the ocean spirit.
Sand Bender tribe - After learning that they stole and sold Appa, Aang enters the state and instead of being happy that the thieves are getting what they deserve, Sokka tells them to RUN.
Ozai - The second Aang enters the AS, Ozai is on the defensive. He can't get a single hit on Aang. He is running away the entire time.

The ONLY time it failed was Azula's cheap shot. This is important because it shows that even with all its power, it doesn't make him invincible. If the AS is physically incapable of ending the conflict, they are screwed.

The only reason the AS has had any weight going forward in the rest of Avatar media is because of all things it was capable of in the original show. Every single time we saw it used, its power was overwhelming and consistently ended almost every single conflict without fail.

The only time you see the AS fail to resolve a conflict is when he was shot in the back while re-unlocking the Avatar State. If Azula had missed or hadn't done it, that entire room would have been demolished.

If the AS is no longer capable of ending conflicts when it's used, it loses its narrative power.

The audience stops caring that it's being used because the power it once had is gone. It stops being impressive, it stops having any narrative weight because we're seeing it fail more often then it succeeds.

If you are going to have a Conflict Ender be beaten in your story, it needs to be done sparingly and cleverly.

just realizing that this was The Last Airbender Vs The First Airbender…

[Emmanuel @emmywayne64]

Why was Aang called the Last Airbender when he wasn’t really the Last Airbender?

[Katarina (: @katarixcruz]

The insane amounts of effort, detail, and care that go into creating animated projects are invaluable.

Animation is by far one of the most impactful, yet somehow one of the most undervalued art forms.

Thankful that this film highlights human creativity and soul!

beautiful

Defina este filme em uma palavra.

[YahBoyGoku @StrawHatKami]

Criminal that this movie didn’t reach theaters. This is a masterpiece #THELastAirbender

[Cartoon Base @TheCartoonBase]

‘AVATAR AANG: THE LAST AIRBENDER’ reached #1 on Paramount+ in 28 different countries today.

Does the film deserve to release in theaters?

[YahBoyGoku @StrawHatKami]

@Z3RO_GRAVITY_ they’ve explicitly said it’s a remake earlier in the year idk why this is surprising

@MLBTheShow

[DragonballFacts @DragonballFacto]

-Bulma And Goku, Roshi And Turtle, Beerus and Whis. The list goes on and on & his reasoning behind this is because he’s able to explain the characters and their relationship to each other through their interactions and feels as if too much self narration for introduction is a bad thing. #Dragonball

@skts_omikun2 @KaijuNo8Colors Honestly, after I saw the Demon slayer movie I read the rest of the manga and was disappointed by the lack luster ending but Kaiju def ended much better imo it was wholesome I’d say. some hints of other manga mixed in but somewhat fast paced only complaint
