Hands of Avatars with little headcanons to keep my sanity today

[illicitcab]

The butcher job to Katara's role in the story, through her relationship with and too Aang, the boy not the Avatar, is going in the hall of fame of adaption crimes.

Katara is a girl who has been stripped of so much. She no longer has a mother or father, she's has had to grow up too fast, and she's losing connection to her culture. Aang is this mysterious friend she pulled from the depths of the ocean and broke free from an ice prison. The first peer she's had in ages. He's a bender just like her, the first person she's ever met like herself. And he's fun, and he can take her to the thing she wants most.

That's why she was ready to run away with him. Because he breaks the bleak monotony of her life, and she brought him into her life.

In the live action, Katara doesn't bring Aang into her life. Actual magical water takes Sokka and her to him, and it's only by her clumsy misdirection of efforts is he freed. Not because she's tremendously brave, and a little stupid, and raced across the ice to help someone.

She doesn't catch him and bat Sokka's inspections away. Aang slides out like a frozen corpse, and after a few blinks Katara rather emotionlessly decides to pack him up to go.

When he wakes up, they don't get to have any fun. They don't get to makes plans to go the North, all so Katara can train. She doesn't figure out how long he's been in that iceberg. She doesn't tell him about the war. She barely knows his name before she finds out he's the Avatar.

Katara is the igniting spark of the whole story. She brings the Avatar back and keeps him safe because she's righteous, brave, and kind. It didn't just happen, she made it so. If she doesn't, if she's not the person who brings the Avatar back and yet also the one who sees Aang for Aang, because she the last person to ever know him as only Aang... then she doesn't really have a place in the story. She is no longer seeing something she started through to the end. She's just there, and that's what plays out in the live action.

OH AND ANOTHER THING ABOUT THE ATLA REBOOT

the sexism thing??? we all know it's fucking stupid and purely performative to take out sokka's feminism arc, but can we talk about the fact that He Is Still Sexist????? he still thinks that what he does (running the village's defenses, which they've never needed) is vastly more important than what she does (wash the clothes, cook, etc). and yk what?? the live action reboot AGREES with him. it doesn't show or even mention katara doing any work around the village. all we see katara doing is practice waterbending - the only interesting thing that original episode 1 sokka seems to think katara ever does.

the live action show depicts sokka "doing all the work", fulfilling his traditionally masculine role of warrior/protector, and COMPLETELY DISMISSES whatever "women's work" katara does, as if she does nothing. seems pretty clear to me that the showrunners would love to absolve themselves of sexism by not talking about sexism, while in actuality being pretty sexist themselves

and don't even get me started on sokka not wearing the dress/makeup of the kyoshi warriors' uniform

watching the atla live action series is proving to be a harder task than i originally thought, mainly because at first i was NOT going to watch it at all but i couldn't help myself and now with every little thing they do differently (mind you they're important things that are gonna affect the characters' development in future events) i am more and more close to lose my mind bc WHY DID THEY CHANGE SO MANY THINGS FOR THE WORST??? whoever wrote that script was NOT a fan of the original series AND IT SHOWS

#atla #atla live action #atla netflix #avatar the last airbender #idk if and when i'm gonna finish this series bc every time i get frustrated i go watch the animated one #it's gonna take me ages and i just know that i'm not gonna like it anyway
