Date: 2010-03-25 05:44 am (UTC)In addition to the "once she gets power (independent from her father's orders) she goes crazy" one of the things that bothered me about Azula's descent was the desertion of her friends. I get that there are plot reasons for Mei to leave (I choose my boyfriend over my best friend! gag) and it's been a long time since I've seen Avatar so I don't really remember why Ty Lee left, but their interaction was an awesome counterpoint to the Avatar Gang and I was sad to see the idea that women simply can't get along by themselves shot to hell (again).
Do we really need another example of women (albeit young women) not being able to sustain a friendship that excludes men? It just reinforces the idea that women are catty and horrible to each other, and without men in the group, would never be able to get anything done. The Kiyoshi warriors are an obvious counter-example, but look how they got sidelined as soon as Sokka started getting more badass!
Also, East Germany?!
