Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

The nationalism, the colonial centric pedagodgy, class disparity, industrial poisoning of local communities, and thats just in the first 3 episodes of the season. Episode 3 has some good materialism.

Avatar has a lot to say. Its a good show.

The writers are big ol' libs but they accidentally made a really good show with only a few major flaws. I'm glad I was there when it was coming out and I'm glad it's still popular enough I get to talk about it sometimes.

What do you feel are it's major flaws?

Well, for example the way they fumbled the entire ending. Suffering from a serious moral dilemma resulting from a conflict between your philosophy/religion and the necessary actions required to protect other people? Don't worry, a never-before-mentioned turtle god will grant you a new superpower at the 11th hour. Unable to win a fight due to the choices you've made to stay in line with your philosophy/religion? Don't worry, Mr. Pointy Rock will unlock the superpowers you knowingly and deliberately disabled a while back.

That is still my biggest gripe with that show. Aang goes from person to person like “How can I do this without killing him?” and every single one of them is like “No you have to kill him dude” and it’s annoying that he got out of it
