Anonymous asked: Have you/will you read The Promise? What do you think of it?

  • Ok
  • Let’s get down to business.
  • I love the art of this graphic novel. Since it’s not saturated, I didn’t have any problems reading.
  • Oogies? Lilyliver? Ugh, the repeated usage of these terms is killing me. And I don’t think it’s because they’re not actually saying it, no.
  • SWEETIE? It’s just OOC. I can’t see either Aang or Katara saying it.  Someone please e-mail Gene Yang for better pet names, thanks.
  • Zuko, zuko, zuko. *sigh* You made another bad decision. Your first one, I guess? I love you, Zuko, you know that, right? But asking advice from your corrupt douche bag father is not going to help your self-esteem issues. You want to be a just Fire Lord, albeit being a young monarch like you, it’s coming hard even without all the pressures – plus, wanting to make the world a ~better place~ doesn’t mean you’re a coward.
  • I love how Aang does his Avatar Job Dot Com though. I think it’s fantastic to see someone in his right mind, although he has anger issues, AGAIN. Oh wait, that’s why Katara’s there – to make everything possible by a touch on the face !!!
  • But why does he have to go into the Avatar State just to battle Zuko? That’s weird, because hey, remember what happened in EIP when Zuko had gone mad, ending up attacking Aang just because he’s being his paranoid self? Aang didn’t go into his Avatar State – he just airbended Zuko, and that’s that.
  • SMH at that part.
  • Oh, but I love the comic tbqh.
  • It still shows everyone’s flaws, which is basically why I love this show. It still is realistic: how either side Zuko goes to makes him a traitor (to his friends or to his people), how Aang and Zuko both have good arguments about the colonies being driven out of their home and will to attain peace. It’s just so gr9 that the narrative is not so rigged. :’)
  • So yeah, it’s good. Very good. It’s a good read, since it’s the canon sequel to the series (duh).
  • If you didn’t like it, then there’s something wrong with your analyzation of the series.
