What Was The Reason For Having The Airbenders Fly On Their OWN And Not With The Gliders?? I Haven't Even

can we all agree this was stanley pines best look

I still have this cap from the official Avatar site and it’s no longer updated so you can find a lot old concepts. I find it pretty strange how different the two Ursas are.

In the original animated canon (discontinued and overridden):

Ursa was originally written as a Fire Nation noblewoman who got along very well with Ozai when they were younger. She loved him dearly and her proper lady upbringing made her an ideal future princess. Fire Lord Azulon and the Fire Sages arranged a marriage between Ozai and Ursa due to their strong compatibility. Zuko recalls times his family was “actually happy” before Ozai became mad and abusive. Ursa was supposed to appear in Book Four but the entire season ended up being scrapped after Paramount bought the rights to create a three-season trilogy. They later decided to have her return in the Avatar finale but she was cut out at the request of Bryan Konietzko. Ozai’s thirst for power and control itself probably stemmed from his feelings of inadequacy when compared to his prodigious elder brother and favored son of Azulon, Iroh. This is why Zuko sparing Azula’s life and wanting to help her despite their twisted relationship was seen as a major catalyst in creating an era of peace.

In the new comics canon (considered to be official):

The new Avatar comics have changed Ursa into a lower-class theater actress who hated Ozai and was forced to marry him as a part of a eugenics experiment the Fire Sages believed in. Their relationship is never shown to be happy and is like absolutely nothing you could call a “perfect match”. Ozai was always power hungry and abusive. He never cared for his family members unless they were of any use to him. Ursa has remained in love with her childhood friend Ikem for years and marries him after she runs away from the Fire National Capital. She asks for help from a spirit known as the Mother of Faces to erase her memories, change her face, and give her the name “Noriko”. She later has a daughter called Kiyi with Ikem (who likewise was given a new face and the name “Noren”). Zuko meets Noriko and she decides she must confront her past and became Ursa again. Her youngest daughter, Kiyi despises this change as she has only known Noriko and not Ursa all her life. Azula is grief-stricken with the fact that Ursa had a good relationship with her half-sister and never with her.

This one started as a screencap redraw and then this happened.

Neil perry should've used that gun on his dad there i said it.

@oborofollower7 rq response, that's because it's doesn't matter how long you've known a person it's about how much they've benefited in your life and vise versa I'm responding to this because I've had multiple situations and "friendships" where literally not one of them understood or were even compassionate for me and STILL has a scar on me. also reading vigilantes or looking with your own eyes would show their clear friendship between all FOUR of them.

@ people who think that shirakumo means that aizawa and mic werent close as teenagers, I'd like to remind yall that what we saw was aizawas flashback about who made him the hero he was, shirakumo.

He was probably just as close with mic as he was with shirakumo, but he wasnt reminiscing on the fun times he had with his friends, he was remembering how his friend shaped his life before and after he passed. Of course the flashbacks weren't going to have a lot of mic moments, because the flashbacks werent about him.

They were about shirakumo, first and foremost, and how he continued to affect aizawas life.

Hey do you know how Admiral Zhao started off as this calm, intimidating genius then devolved into a machine of pure rage at the avatar until it broke him? You know how the exact same thing happened to Azula? You know how the opposite happened to Zuko?
