(Avatar fans, I haven't forgotten about you. In fact, I talk about the Avatar finale for like an entire paragraph in here!)

So, if you didn't know, Canada got season 2 of Spectacular Spider-Man before we did. (Deja vu, Avatar fans?) Sony took its darn tootin' time in getting the episodes off to another network, but they'll finally land on the new,

The season finale of Avatar was not really about Aang defeating Ozai so much as Aang finally achieving balance in his character, finally becoming both who he wanted to be and the Avatar he was destined to be. The ending was not a deus-ex-machina, because the tension wasn't so much whether Aang would defeat Ozai, but how he would defeat Ozai; it was Aang vs. himself. And in the end, at this climax to this fundamental coming-of-age story, when Aang is very nearly narrowly defeated by "himself," he musters the will to overcome that, defeats Ozai completely without any help, and then almost as a "reward" gets the spirit bending in which he shows just how strong he really is.

YES.

Also, a lot of fans who complain about spiritbending aren't looking it from all angles. They only see "Aang gets what he wants", but they don't consider Ozai.

Ozai would've LOVED a proud warrior's death. Not as much as ruling the world, but if he died with his bending he'd still be considered a hero to some. But instead, he was kept alive and had his power taken away by a TEENAGER. And imprisoned. Plus, Zuko got to confront him except that didn't work out so well because they left an important question as a cliffhanger argh. D:
