Can We Take A Moment To Talk About The Dialogue In Avatar The Last Airbender

What do you think would happen in the world of Avatar: the last airbender if a new avatar was born before the death of previous one?

So first and before all. In the avatar mythos, your scenario is impossible. Let's have a closer look at who the avatar really is.In the first season of “The Last Airbender” it is explained that the current avatar is a reincarnation of every previous avatar.What does that mean? Reincarnation is the concept of rebirth. If a person dies, he or she is reborn in another form or body. Now this could be very open to interpretation. How fast does this reincarnation cycle take place? Let's jump to season 3 where Zuko and Aang find out the history of the Avatar and the Fire Lord. We see their lives, but we also see avatar Roku die. At that point it is shown how the moment he died, Aang was born.A cycle this tight doesn't allow for much room for other avatars to pop up. So now at least we know that the avatar cycle is bound to one person. But is he really the only one that could learn to bend multiple elements? I had a fanfiction running in my head of a person that would've been avatar after Aang and couldn't reach avatar state, but could bend all elements. But let's look a little closer at how the avatar gains his unnatural ability.For this we need to go to the legend of Korra. The show had problems, but the stories it told were still on point, especially the one in season 2 telling us about the first avatar. That story tells us that the first benders got their powers from lion turtles to be able to survive the spirit world around their cities.One man tried to do more, though. He wanted to travel the world and unite spirits and humans everywhere. On these travels he found a spirit named Raava. She decided to help him and only with her help he was able to hold multiple forms of bending within his body. Any other person would be ripped apart by the conflicting energies. When he died, Raava decided that his legacy was one that needed to continue and transferred herself into another human being. This is the start of the avatar cycle.So with all this… What would happen if someone got the power to bend multiple elements? Without a spirit to balance those energies, they would die. Simple as that.

What is the last thing you do when you go to bed?

Think about yourself before sleeping!!!I feel that is the best time you will know yourself and it's 100% your time, no one can come to disturb you at that time.Many people, I have seen do not know their own likes and dislikes. This is because they have never thought upon it.Many people have to search answers of such questions on Google before writing in their resume like-minded ' your interest' ' hobbies' 'strength' and 'weakness'. What they do just copy from internet and paste in their resume, having g no clarification of what they are writing and get stuck during interview.So what I have felt and done to myself is thought about myself before sleeping.When you start thinking, you should ask yourself what did I do all day- good, bad, best, and so on.What you like to do ? What new you can learn? What are your interest and may more.By this you will not only know yourself but will start loving yourselfTry this, it really works !!

How did you get involved in an interracial relationship?

I was working in China.. and lonely… there were cute girls everywhere and they were smiling at me and coming up and talking to me all the time.So I was sitting in a restaurant one night and bullshitting with a coworker and the waitress was really hot but seemed shy and would sort of blush at me and giggle etc.. so I kind of flirted with her all night and then almost more as a joke when she brought the bill and asked if we’d like anything else, I said her phone number.. LOL absolutely cheesiest line ever right? But she went beet red and acted all offended then when she brought back the bill she sort of slyly turned it over as she put it in my hand and there were her digits! LOL.I called her later that night and we texted for a couple nights then that weekend I asked her out and I started going to the place she worked at the ends of her shifts and she and her two friends would take me out each night, late after getting off and show me really cool places that most white guys in China never see. Like underground Chinese bbq joints on top of buildings with 100′ long grills made of welded up garbage cans serving all kinds of meat on a stick and beer in 40oz bottles..I had so much more fun and really started to love China. I kept dating her for almost a year before I lost my job and stopped going to China for a while.She was my first “real” Chinese GF though.. Now I’m married to a different Chinese girl and I’m crazy in love with her and we have a 5 yr old and they went through the visa process and live here in the US with me.There’s nothing weird or different about interracial relationships. They are less weird and more real and more positive the more you forget about your differences and embrace the fact that we are all the same. We are all just humans.. All people.. same needs, wants, desires.. We might have different words for some of that stuff if we speak different languages but that is nothing compared to everything we share and have in common.We end up in mixed relationships because we see past minor differences in skin tone or eye shape and we just meet someone who fits us and we click and we feel that wow, this person is amazing and special and I want to spend more time with them and suddenly I want to spend ALL my time with them and finally I never want to leave them and cant imagine not having them here with me all the time.. A lot like the feelings you have in a regular old, boring, same race relationship actually.

If you believe that the Legend of Korra had issues, what are some changes to the story that you would make?

For those of you that say that Legend of Korra was/felt rushed by only having 13 episodes a season, here’s a question for you:How would you feel if the books had too many episodes? But these “filler” episodes did not further the story? The pacing of the 13 episodes in the books were perfect.Moving on, and I hate to tell you other fans this:Legend of Korra was not about learning the elements. Having her struggling with air bending mirrored Aangs struggle with Earth bending. The avatars hardest element to learn is the one that’s completely opposite of the element they’re born into. This is why Korra book one was called Air. There was no need to give last airbender a book about air, the element he already mastered. This also completes the four books of elements In the entire series.Legend of Korra focused on other aspects of being the avatar which last airbender did not explain and explore: A changing world, the spiritual side of the Avatar, and the balance of nature vs nurture.The characters of Mako and Bolin are not clones of characters from last airbender. Both Mako and Bolin were born into poverty. They grew up on the streets and tried to make a decent living.In last airbender an earth bender could not marry a fire bender. Legend of Korra welcomed mixed bender relationships. Same thing with Aang and Katara. They had three kids: one non bender, one water bender, and one air bender.The book that brought airbenders back was apart of balancing and embracing change to the world. So for those of you that say this was not needed, get out.Do some of you forget that even in the 13 episodes per book there were a few filler episodes? Book four had one. And especially the two part tale of Wan, the first Avatar were fillers? The series called for these episodes to happen to help the series progress during the 13 episode run.So what would I change then? The relationship drama of who is interested in who, could’ve been better. I’m not interested in love triangles, since I was in one as the guy of attention/attraction.

In movies, why don't women risk everything to protect their lover (like men do)?

The answer to this can be found in the most unlikely of places: A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge.The writers of the movie decided they wanted to change up the formula that had already sunk in for horror movies. Instead of a final girl, there would be a final boy! And that boy would be saved by his girlfriend from the monster holding him captive.This movie wound up shutting the door on gender flipping final girls so hard that even the most deconstructionist of ’90s slashers were unwilling to go there. See, a man who gets captured and needs to be rescued is weak. Particularly rescued by a woman. And audiences do not empathize with men perceived as weak, they reject them.A man needing to be rescued by a woman is abrogating his manhood, and thus unworthy of the woman rescuing him. Hence why in movies where the female character is the protagonist, the male characters are never as helpless as female characters when it is a male protagonist. It’s all very patriarcal with intensely rigid roles for masculinity and femininity.Then there is the other side of Freddy’s Revenge where a man captured by the (more often than not) male villain winds up throwing a gay subtext over everything, making the target audience uncomfortable.Adding to this is the fact that the majority of lead roles in films are male.Great care in the movie industry is taken to make sure male characters are never too vulnerable.Here, in the real world, women save their husbands all the time.Woman, 80, Smashes Windows to Escape Fire, Rescue HusbandBut movies have to adhere to very rigid gender standards. While there are the occasional deconstructions or subversions of it, across the board this is the way stories are told.Now, there are plenty of films where women will do anything for their loved ones… but those loved ones are not their husbands, they are their children. Again it enforces rigid patriarchal gender roles about motherhood.In fact, sometimes you get an entire chain going where the husband is saving the wife who is in turn saving the children.
