Date: 2010-03-21 04:22 pm (UTC)Even though they were rushed, I don't have much mercy for them, especially since the entire arc of Season 3 was the question, "What do you do with people who cannot be bargained with?" - in a show for kids 7 and older. You can't put that question on the table without thinking damn hard about how you want to address it from the beginning- especially since we're talking animation here- you have to plan things out a lot more than a filmed tv show.
If they had set things up and ran them differently:
- Azula vs. Katara - gets blood bended into a prison cell/ cell made of earth ("Thanks Toph!")
- Azula vs. Zuko - Missing Mom shows up as super bender to stop Azula (Deus ex machina, but hey, we still get the mom.)
- Fight gets taken into the spirit world. Azula gets taken out or trapped (huh, Ursa maybe?)
- Azula vs. Aang- Roku manifests and stops Azula by out firebending her
- Azula vs. Iroh - I'm sure Iroh had something in mind. Maybe he's learned some bending-blocking pressure points from White Lotus?
- The Water nation had the big sea and moon spirits at their city in the North- what if the Fire nation had some kind of spirit for the sun living in their nation? What happens when it gets pissed and manifests? Under the comet?
