Welcome to Gaia! ::

(I miss the activity on here too) Hmmm. Well for one thing, Katara would have been the one to walk in and help Zuko. Then they could have had a nice long talk. The battle with Ozai would be more epic and Aang would figure out the Avatar State himself. Also, Koh needed to have been there and Aang would have come to realize that Ozai needed to be killed. Oh, and there would still be ozai supporters. Gosh, there's so much!!!

Lol, rewrite the finale? I'd rewrite the whole of Book 3

I'm not sure what I'd change, as I've finally come to terms with what happened and accept it. (If I just keep away from anything concerning the finale that is sweatdrop )
But if anything was to change it would just be what everyone else usually wants the whole Avatar state/Lion turtle shenanigans, Ursa, leaving the endgame ships open-ended and the whole deal with Ozai.

Maybe one different thing would be a change in the dialogue. 60% of what was said either didn't need to be said or just didn't sit right with me.

I don't remember anything in particular, I'd have to rewatch to actually remember anything. But it was alot of Aang and Zuko's dialogue.

One I remember though was just the simple "It's a hexagon".

I'd kill the easy button aspect, I'd make zutara endgame, Toph would've gotten her adventure with Zuko, the Lion-turtle abomination wouldn't exist, the lightening would've hit Zuko's heart, not his stomache, Ursa's location would've been found out, Mai would've gotten together with Ty Lee (Who would later cheat on her with crazy Azula =3= (Ty Zula ftw!)).
Other then the above, the finale was pretty much awesomesauce 3nodding

1.I'd burn the lionturtle. Then send the ashes to space... Lol, in all seriousness, I'd get rid of the lionturtle and make Aang make a hard choice for once. It seems like he got through the series without making too many of those (if he made any at all). Everyone else had to, so why not him? He is the Avatar after all. That brings me to my second plot rewrite.
2.Ozai dies. He needs to be taken out. You may be able to get rid of a lion's claws, but he can still rip your throat out with his teeth. What about Ozai's political connections? The Fire Nation won't just fall at Zuko's knees because Ozai was 'defeated', the fact that he's still alive makes it worse.
3. I'd end the movie with a hint as to where Ursa is so that the story would continue so that the Zutara relationship would have time to develop. And that leads to plot rewrite
4. The movie would end with all hope for Kataang destroyed (because apparently EIP wasn't enough of a hint). Katara would tell Aang that she does love him... as a brother, but that they weren't right for each other and that he had a lot of personal growth to do before he thought about such a serious relationship. Her friendship with Zuko would grow stronger with just a whisper of a possible romance. You can't rush these things after all, and let's face it, until about two episodes before, she wanted him to die slowly. Maybe of dysentry or some other equally humiliating disease/accident.
5. Mai would have gotten forgiveness from Zuko.( Come on, they acted like she had nothing to be sorry about!) They might have ended as friends, but their romantic relationship would be officially over (for Zuko at least. I'm toying with the idea of Mai being in unrequited love. I just don't like her).


Well, there's my longwinded rewrite ideas for the final movie. Standard stuff, I know, but this is genuinely what ticked me off about the finale. I was thinking about killing off Azula, too, but I really liked how she ended up. Maybe I'd have her turn good and disappear into the mountains to become a shepherdess. Or maybe she'd stay evil and try to exact revenge for her 'stolen' throne and the death of her father (because in my version, Ozai dies).

Okay, I seriously like the idea of Katara saying that to Aang. It's letting him down gently (I think some people would fly off the handle and point out all the selfish, immature things he's done, like demanding answers and kissing her when she was confused), but letting him down. I mean, Aang should've lost something in the end. He shouldn't have gotten everything he wanted - Ozai can live and he can have his lame cop-out, but getting Katara on top of it all is just... jfdskl People aren't prizes! D:

Anyway, yeah. I agree on everything. =D

I though, "Aww, that's not so bad - pretty sunset, cute hug. Subtle and age-appropriate." And then it zoomed back in and they made-out. o.O

I agree! I could have dealt with that part if the make out scene hadn't been thrown in like that! Aang's like a middleschooler! A simple hug would have sufficed or the two of them gazing at the sunset would have worked too.
