Do you ever think about LOK creators writing Katara, the fighting, mothering, feminine boss as a helpless old woman in the healing huts, incapable of doing anything, lacking a relationship with her kids and grandkids, none of her grandkids having any connections to her dying South Pole culture or bending, and get really freaking FURIOUS?
Or maybe about how she didn't have any sort of companion after Aang died? (geriatric Zutara is so freaking cute) she didn't even keep in contact with her friends?!? How her identity was centered around a loving, mothering nature only for her to rarely see her grandkids and be very distant from them?????
She lacked a legacy, a statue, any sense of importance to the plot, and perhaps the most importantly, a family, all because to some creators, her worth evaporated after she gave birth to Tenzin.
Did you read the avatar comics? If so, what is your opinion on them?
I haven't read all the comics because I decided to keep my peace of mind, haha.
But I managed to get to know the Search, I really regret it.There are many reasons for that.
The first and foremost reason is what was done to Ursa. In the series, Ursa was a beautiful, sad, quiet and at the same time selfless woman who loves her children immensely and is ready to do anything for them. This is how I love her and keep this in my memory.
In the comic, she turned into a proud fool who does not think for a second about her responsibilities and the consequences of her actions, even if other people suffer from this (first of all, her children). Seriously, I felt sorry for Ozai. It was necessary to marry so unsuccessfully. Even he didn't deserve it.
What Ursa does:
1) Destroys her chances, if not for a happy, then at least for a normal marriage.
Yes, the marriage was negotiated and no one asked Ursa what she think about it. But no one asked Ozai either. They started on equal terms. If Ursa were wiser, she would try to build at least a friendly relationship with a person with whom she (hypothetically) has to somehow live her entire next life.
Writing letters to her lover is not a solution that could help her achieve this goal.
2) SET UP OZAI AGAINST ZUKO.
Telling her husband that the first son (and potential heir to the throne, too) is not from him is such a fucking shit on many levels that I don't even know what else to say.
And we thought that Ozai did not like Zuko because he was weaker than his sister and generally suspiciously kind. But no. Ozai hates Zuko because Zuko's mom is a complete idiot. Thats all
3) Leaves his children.
And it is very hypocritical. There are several lines in the comic where Ursa tells Ikemu how dear her children are to her, how she would like to forget her palace life, but now she is a mother and cannot do it. How she wants to get a new face and return to the capital unrecognized, to at least once look at her children, even if she puts herself at risk.
And literally a few pages later, she, almost without thinking, agrees to the offer of the Mother of Faces to forget her life in the palace and her children, because this, you see, hurts her. (Somewhere in the capital , Ozai consistently destroying the psyche of her children, but of course it doesn't matter.)
Seriously? SERIOUS ??? * angry obscene screams *
Oh, sorry, I'm done.
Okay, despite that, there are some pretty good points about the Search that mostly relate to Azula and her interactions with Gaang. But there are also many other things that make me wish this comic wasn't.
But I willn鈥檛 talk about it now, because I have already written too many words X)
