Welcome to c/writing!
This is a space for all kinds of discussion referring to writing. This could include the structure and style found in different types of writing, authors worth talking about, different genres, trends, etc.
This is also a space for users who wish to share their own writing for feedback. This could look like independently posting excerpts of poems/prose/plays or it could be replying to one of the writing prompt threads. Brainstorming and worldbuilding ideas are welcome too!
Ideally, this will be a community where we work together to become better writers and appreciators of writing in all its forms.
All that said, please note that Code of Conduct still applies here. Please apply content warnings where applicable and spoiler material that might be inappropriate.

I mean it's pretty blatantly lib, zuko would at best be a Bernie sanders replacement of a leader of a horrifying system of violence
Not to mention the cop out of magically not having to kill the fire lord
If it wasn't lib that fucker would have been executed for his crimes
I mean, yeah, but I kinda give that a pass cuz it's a kids show. Idk if 12 year olds really want a whole seasons of Nuremberg trials being held in Ba Sing Se.
I would agree if it werent for the entire episodes devoted to aang trying to find any way not to kill him and even all his past lives are like kill that fucker, and then its resolved with a deus ex machina of him hitting that rock and unlocking the super state and inventing this power. Could ahve worked, but the show painstakingly set up the OPPOSITE
No, I agree that I think the way they resolved Aang's pacifism was lazy and seems to contradict everything else the show was telling us up to that point. It's one of the weakest things about the original show, and the most lib. However I get why the network maybe didn't want a kids show to end with the protagonist straight up killing someone, so I'm curious how much of that ending was the writers vs the network.
It definitely doesn't feel like the ending the people making the show thought they were heading towards
