On the one hand, if I never see Redemption Arc Discourse again, it will be too soon

[lizbee]

On the other hand, it's kind of amusing to see people watching AtLA for the first time and realising that Zuko did in fact do terrible things before he changed his path.

Oh man, Redemption Arc Discourse is so terrible, because people see someone missing the point and then miss the point in the opposite direction.

still don't get how it'd be a redemption arc if he hadn't

[lizbee]

Right? And One Redemption Story won't fit all characters! It's a complicated concept!

*uses icon of woman whose redemption arc is decidedly imperfect but I love her almost because of that*

[lizbee]

Me neither, but, you know. *stares at fandom*

[anghraine]

Heeeh, it's amazing.

what is this "logic" of which you speak

[sugar_fey]

I love ATLA but boy, I am not enjoying the return of the Discourse.

Speaking of Discourse which should have remained dead, I saw 'Marvel Loki is Jewish-coded' Discourse the other day. What is this, 2012???

I have so many words blocked on Twitter, Liz. So many.

[lizbee]

Clearly I'm not blocking enough. But I got into AtLA after LoK was announced! It was such a chill fandom! We all hung out in the wreckage left by past shipwars and politely ignored our NoTPs!

[aberration]

I stumbled briefly into A:TLA vs LoK screaming on twitter and NEVER. AGAIN.

[lizbee]

"I liked AtLA, but what if it was less black and white?"

LoK: *exists*

"No, not like that!"
