This is the edgiest gifset I’ve ever seen, but it’s also pretty cool in illustrating a theme of the show

Anonymous asked:
Do you think Ty Lee x Mai would be compatible in a way Maiko isn't?
Definitely.One of the things Mai and Zuko struggle with is that they are both prone tonegative thinking, and need optimists in their life to balance things out.
Katara: Are you saying I’m a liar? Sokka: I’m saying you’re an optimist. Same thing basically.
That’swhy Uncle Iroh’s tutelage was so good for Zuko, and why Zuko and Aang make suchgreat buddies. Mai and Ty Lee are the same way. Ty Lee’s cheerfulness balancesout Mai’s cynical and negative view of the world. With Mαiko, Mai just dragsZuko down into feeling more and more negative.
The othermajor difference is that Mai actually cares about Ty Lee. She knows who Ty Leeis:
Mai: I thought you ran off and joined the circus? You said it was your calling.
Mai: The truth is, I guess I don’t know you.
Anddefends her when Ty Lee is attacked.
Ty Lee: I know you. Zuko: No, you don’t. You’re stuck in your little Ty Lee world, where everything’s great all the time. Mai: Zuko, leave her alone.
Givenhow unhealthy all the Mαiko interactions are and how little they communicate,it would make far more sense for Mai to have betrayed Azula over Ty Lee, ratherthan over Zuko. Also, Mai and Ty Lee standing up together against Azula wouldhelp Ty Lee get out from under Azula’s thumb and away from her bullying.

Spoiler warning.
People have been asking me for a long time to cover this series, and it’s easy to tell why. A genre-blending young adult animated series, it is by far one of the most inclusive and feminist television series I have ever encountered. Unusually for an American television series, the cast is entirely populated by people of colour; the Four Nations are fantasy versions of Asian (mostly Chinese, Japanese and Tibetan) and Inuit cultures. The male and female characters are given equal attention and developed realistically, and, most miraculously, disabled characters are depicted with tact, understanding and dignity. As a feminist, it gave me particular pleasure to see a cast full of women with diverse personalities, as well as both emotional and physical strength. The show even directly addresses issues of sexism by allowing its female characters to confront it head-on, and convince their detractors that women are just as capable as men, particularly in reference to physical strength and bending skill. The series has a lot going for it, but this particular review will focus on the main female characters of A:TLA, Katara, Toph, Azula, Suki, Mai and Ty Lee, and how each character explicitly demonstrates the feminist ideals of skilled abilities, emotional depth, diverse and realistic characterizations, and, as appropriate for a series combining fantasy and martial arts, sheer physical power.
