I love bad movies. Except for this one.

WTF_TLA, I lied to you. I told you I would not see this movie because it is obviously terrible. What I did not tell you is that I love terrible movies. Like Dragonball! Awful <3. Twilight- I laughed so hard at inappropriate times through the whole thing; I was so excited for the sequel. So, when my mom offered me free tickets to take my brother to ( Read more... )

Katara does admire Ong because he is the avatar, but you are a DAMN LIAR if you say that there is any genuine affection in that. It's all hero worship.
i actually didn't get a sense of this at all. it seemed like her response to every single thing that happened was that deadpan "oh. i see."

It is a mark of shame and identification. It should be recognizable as a FACE MELTING FIRE INJURY, not 'maybe a bike accident, who can say?'YEEEEEEEEEEEEEES. just like aang is recognized/described as "the boy with the tattoos" (tattoos you can hardly see in the movie), that scar serves as the layperson's means of identifying zuko. "an angry young man with a scar." zuko identifies himself by his scar, by touching it when katara refers to him as "the face of the enemy." it's not just his face he thinks she's talking about, but his massive hideous scar, specifically. and the same goes for the ponytail! zuko is bald with a ponytail in season one because shaving one's head is a symbol of banishment. then he cuts off his topknot to sever his ties with ( ... )

I got this from her ridiculous speech about YOU ARE THE ONE, YOU ARE THE AVATAR, CAN YOU HEAR ME? I KNEW YOU'D COME BACK ONG! And the THEY WANT YOU TO BE THE AVATAR I WANT YOU TO BE OUR AVATAR. Any way you look at it, she is not a very bright girl.

...zuko identifies himself by his scar, by touching it when katara refers to him as "the face of the enemy." it's not just his face he thinks she's talking about, but his massive hideous scar, specifically.
EXACTLY! It's sooooooooooooooooooooo important. D: It just bothers me so much. It's too important to Zuko's character to make it so low key.

...royalty in general tends to be paler than the rest of the populace, due to not having to be outside working the fields and junk.That's true! Most of the Fire Nation seems to be pretty pale in the show, though. I googled it! :3 It's funny, because you'd think getting power from the sun would make them more ( ... )

YES YES YES YES to the scar complaint. I cannot harp on this enough. It is a massive fucking disfigurement and it should be WAY more visible than it is in the film. 40% of his face in the series, an eyelid in the movie. What the hell.

...now i'm picturing prince zuko's face as one of those funny pie charts where you use a picture instead of just solid-colored pie pieces.

And not being able to see the scar because it's a pinky-brown scar on brown skin? Dude, if you're going to fuck things up and change the colour of the character of himself, just change the scar while you're at it. What colour are scars when they're not livid red? Oh yeah - white. Like, white as in a colour that will show up against dark skin. *headwall ( ... )
