taking a break to atla post i really do believe the way azulas arc / story ended was appropriate. maybe not on the script level (aaron wrote some pretty misogynistic stuff) but azula in the final episodes was a perfect thematic conclusion of both her and zukos stories. anytime anyone says she was Supposed to be redeemed or the writers pussied out of it or whatever i kind of think they dont rlly know what the Point of her character was .

#redemption arcs in general are a very finnicky topic for me #theyre not something i like when its just ''bad character gets good'' there needs to be thematic reasoning for it #like i never enjoyed cdream redemption stuff bc ive always interpreted his character as a cautionary tale abt entitlement and myopia #azulas is more complicated bc shes very much a victim of child abuse but in a very different way than zuko #but like i dunno. they wouldve had to have done a lot of legwork to make an azula redemption feel good in only a 4th season #heliichats
