>This is going to sound like a super dorky complaint, but I'm disappointed that they won't be adapting the comics.

Don't worry most of them are pretty mediocre. The Search is the only one that would be worth adapting.

I do agree that The Search would make the most sense to adapt if they were only going to do one since it most directly addresses something left hanging in the show, but I thought they were all great.

I really enjoyed Suki Alone. If they get to Book 3, it would make a good B story to flesh out Suki while the Gaang regroups after The Day of Black Sun

Weird I actually thought The Promise was the best of those comics.

It's like the only one where we get to see how Fire Nation society reacted to losing the war, something they didn't have time to address in the series.

Yeh but the character writing was pretty bad. >!Aang considering killing Zuko in this comic in his discussion with Roku makes no sense. He didn't even talk to Zuko at this point. It ruins a major part of the finale of the animated show.!<

Personally I liked it, you have children in positions of immense power after 100 years of war of course serious mistakes and misunderstandings are going to be made. Things won't be smooth sailing.

I felt like too much was left out of the series finale to try and bring closure to the show that I'm glad they added into this.

Misunderstandings sure but >!the peaceful monk who was reluctant to kill the big bad in Ozai just a few weeks ago is now considering killing one of his best friends.!<

It makes sense though because Zuko would not relinquish the colonies to the Earth Kingdom, and was going to fight and kill more people for them right after losing a war. Mostly under his fathers advice.

From Aangs perspective he might have replaced one monster with potentially another, being a child and lacking perspective this makes sense.

  1. He hadn't even spoke to Zuko so had no real insight into his thoughts.
  2. Ozai was about to commit genocide and Aang was still trying to avoid killing him.

>From Aangs perspective he might have replaced one monster with potentially another

Aang's view on one of the members of the Gaang changing that quickly in a negative way also seems OOC.

>being a child and lacking perspective this makes sense

Yes it does but he has always lacked perspective because he would take too much of a positive view on things not a negative one.

I mean it makes sense to me, you have to unexperienced children in leadership positions with both being informed by extremist views. Zuko by Ozai and Aang by Roku, both encouraging the other to take a strongman position to enforcing order on the world.

So Aang considering killing Zuko under the advice of Roku and believing himself to have failed in bringing peace is not unbelievable.

I see I guess it's just a difference of opinion. For me, it makes zero sense, hurts the show and sours Aang's character arc.

To me it doesn't hurt his character arc because the idea Aang would never make serious mistakes after the series ended was unlikely.

His character arc in TV show is accepting his responsibility as the Avatar and becoming fully realized. However he has no peacetime leadership experience and is still very young, so expecting him to struggle with the morally grey areas of peacetime is to be expected.

You can see in the Legend of Korea that Aang and all the gang change drastically in their lives to fit the roles they take on.
