I feel like Wu is probably there to be Mako's arc for the season.

Not even close.

I thought Wu would turn out to be annoying, but he's so lovably wimpish, it's great. I especially like how absolutely no-one is putting up with his nonsense, yet he keeps on truckin'.

The hilarious thing is it really works better if they don't kiss.

Besides, the show's use of hand-holding is just as effective as a visual cue.*

Asami develops romantic feelings for Korra.

Korra reciprocates those feelings.

The first image shows Asami holding Korra's hand while the second image shows Korra and Asami holding each other's hand.

I almost agree with this but while I enjoyed Azula's breakdown the first time I watched ATLA, it suffered in the rewatch as it was very sudden with the only slightest of foreshadowing if you watch The Beach.

I'm just gonna quote myself from the last ATLA thread.

Lady Gagazula posted:

What we see in the finale is simply the culmination of her breakdown. The events of The Boiling Rock Part II send Azula on a downward spiral and as the season continued we could see her becoming crazier and more unhinged until she eventually succumbed to rampant paranoia and outright madness. Sozin's Comet did conclude her breakdown, but IMO it actually started several episodes prior.

Lady Gagazula posted:

Here she is from episode 201.



Crazula's official debut may not have been until The Southern Raiders, but her character had been teetering on the edge of batshitery for quite a while. All it took was one little push.

I really just don't see it, Gagazula.

IMO Azula, for most of her life, believed in at least three certainties:

1)She will always be a better firebender than Zuko.
2)Firelord Ozai will always favor her.
3)Mai and Ty Lee will always obey her.

The Boiling Rock Part II removes the third certainty and causes her sanity to slowly unravel. Mai and Ty Lee's betrayal had proven that Azula was mistaken about them. It stands to reason that this incident threw into question every other certainty that Azula believed in and resulted in her doubting and second-guessing herself for the rest of the series. If Azula was wrong about Mai and Ty Lee then what else was she wrong about? Azula's miscalculation proved to be too damaging for her psyche to handle and what started as a momentary loss of composure (The Boiling Rock) led to increasingly erratic behavior (The Southern Raiders) and eventually full-blown psychosis (Sozin's Comet).

It's the middle part that gets me.

The Phoenix King posted:

Azula: Sorry I'm late, Father. Good palanquin bearers are so hard to come by these days. So, is everything ready for our departure?

Fire Lord Ozai: There has been a change of plans, Azula.

Azula: What?

Fire Lord Ozai: I've decided to lead the fleet of airships to Ba Sing Se alone. You will remain here in the Fire Nation.

Azula: But I thought we were going to do this together.

Fire Lord Ozai: My decision is final.

Azula: You...you can't treat me like this. You can't treat me like Zuko!

Fire Lord Ozai: Azula, silence yourself.

Azula: But it was my idea to burn everything to the ground! I deserve to be by your side!

Fire Lord Ozai: Azula!

Ozai then placates Azula by offering her the, now worthless, title of Firelord while he crowns himself Phoenix King. Azula is momentarily reassured by this, but starts to doubt another long-held assumption.

Lady Gagazula posted:

2)Firelord Ozai will always favor her.

If she were truly favored, then Ozai would have insisted that she join him to carry out their plan which was originally Azula's plan in the first place. This exchange between father and daughter causes Azula's mental state to deteriorate even further which then leads to paranoid delusions and ultimately hallucinations.

Lots of people build up colder, manipulative personas and behaviors in order to protect themselves from their own insecurities.

...That and the catalyst is apparently the betrayal of two people that I never thought she trusted in the first place.

Azula's relationship with Mai and Ty Lee was never about trust. It was about using fear to control people.

quote:

Why did this emotionally shatter her?

Because Azula was so convinced that her ability to control them was absolute that the mere possibility of betrayal or defiance never even entered her mind. Once reality set in Azula was unable to properly recover before the rest of her world started to fall apart.

(Cut to Azula's battle ship and her lightning bending practice. The sun is setting in the background. Azula stands on the deck and brings her arms down in front of her. Cut to two old women watching from the top of the stairs. Azula swings an arm around, electricity sparking from her left hand. She brings it around in a circle, then begins to mimic the motion with her right hand, electricity shooting from her index and middle fingers. She brings her fingers together, and then lunges forward, launching a lightning bolt from her left hand. The lightning arcs over the edge of the ship. Cut to in front of Azula, her fingers smoking and a single strand of hair dangling in front of her face. Cut to the old women on the stairs.)

Elder 1: Almost perfect.
Elder 2: One hair out of place.

(Cut to the same scene of Azula. The camera zooms in quickly as Azula glares angrily at the one strand of hair. She wipes it from her eyes.)

Azula: 'Almost' isn't good enough!
