The ladies continue to make their points! Gaster remains unconvinced, but they're giving him a lot to think about... How long will he cling to his mission?
I鈥檓 having feelings about Katara v Pakku again, and the fact that at this point in the series, Katara has never been in a fight that wasn鈥檛 to the death. Every fight she鈥檚 ever been in has had world-ending stakes. She鈥檚 not shooting to kill Pakku because she鈥檚 weaker and less trained than him - though she is - she鈥檚 shooting to kill because she doesn鈥檛 know any other way to fight. Friendly sparring, or fighting as a spectator sport, has not been a part of this girl鈥檚 life. Pakku鈥檚 fighting Katara to put troublesome teenagers in their place; Katara鈥檚 fighting Pakku because they鈥檒l all die if Pakku doesn鈥檛 pull his head out of his ass and train the Avatar.
Pakku is genuinely surprised to see his own reflection in that disc of ice Katara shoots right past his face. If he hadn鈥檛 dodged, it would have sliced his head right open. He starts putting actual effort in after that.
So this popped up on my Facebook feed. And honest to god I got so excited and delighted by this wonderful meme, this quality content, this perfect image usage- and then my brain registered the above comment.
