I’m cracking up bc after Zuko joins the gaang their little side field trips go from *penguin sledding* * going to WWE matches* to *breaking POWs out of a max security prison* *stealing confidential information from the fire nation military and using it to track down their mother’s murderer*
i understand from an artistic perspective why the four nations are color coded but imagine if that was just like…a thing in real life. like if you went to canada and everyone was wearing purple and you just had to live with that.
Can we please just acknowledge the sheer absurdity the “Kuzon’s Parents” disguise scene:
Deadass Katara just stuffed her shirt with melons, did nothing else to even pretend that she was older than 14, Sokka put on what was probably an incredibly fake-looking beard and pulled the most shakespearean accent he could muster.
They just saunter on in with their son who looks literally nothing like either of them, but also almost the exact same age. The headmaster probably just thinks “Fuck it. Okay. Benefit of the doubt. I’m not particularly well-versed in the ethnicities of the colonies maybe this is just normal. Adoption maybe? Good skin care?”
And then when he asks their names, Sokka just comes out guns blazing with surnames- which is implied (but not confirmed) to be sort of nobility status. And not only is their cover story that they have surnames in the first place, but that their name is Fire. Wang Fire and Sapphire Fire.
Can you imagine just being a Canadian school principal meeting a student’s parents for the first time and you just see these rogue teenagers showing up saying “Hello yes my name is Sir Jason Toronto and this is my wife Poutine.”
