I disagree with you 100%. I'm 16 too, and when I'm not being an amateur historian I also like to think of myself as something of a writer, not to mention an incredibly avid reader of all different genres, so I guess that point is a stalemate. Your main problem with the ending seems to be that you think it was "cut off", "dry, predictable", etc. You neglect the fact that the series has been leading to such an ending for some time now. All the complex plot points plot points were resolved, because that's what the finale was about; not starting new plot points, ending the old ones in a manner consistent with what we had previously seen. We all saw what direction they were heading; we could predict what was going to happen. Sudden twists that changed everything might have worked great for the season two finale, but for the final one ran the risk of distorting the plot and ruining the show. It has been brought up many times; we have no idea how much time passed between the coronation and the teas-shop scene. We didn't see the post war reconstruction effort because quite frankly that's not interesting. We know that it's happening, ha we want to see is something to let us know that people are recovering emotionally as well as physically; children have come back out to play in the streets, which are once again safe, and most importantly, we see the heroes taking a long deserved break. I repeat: For three seasons now we have watched the heroes as they struggled with their destinies. Now they have achieved everything they set out to do; the world is at peace, people are steadily working to put the world back together, the natural balance is reasserting itself. far from being dry and empty, the happy scene at the end is a confirmation, letting us know that the world is leaning towards right now, that good has triumphed and we can cheer for, a moment of sheer joy that we can revel in. In the final analysis perhaps Avatar's greatest accomplishment was the creation of genuine, real characters whom we can fall in love with and wish the best for. We want them to be happy, because we have cheered them on and seeing their triumph in some way connects with us at a deeper level to become our own triumph. That is what most people have seen in the finale (or at least I have), and even though you obviously do not appreciate it in the same light, at least know that for many of us what you saw as empty space was not empty at all. Endings and goodbyes are usually times of emotion rather than rational thought, and this was even more so. It's masterpiece was to fill those who truly appreciated it with overpowering, true emotion. The people who had such an experience did indeed recognize the finale for what it was; a happy ending, not just for the characters, but for the viewers too. That is as close as I can come to an approximation of how I felt watching the finale anyway. No doubt everyone who watched it recieved a different impression. But any ending that can inspire such strng feelings in not just a few fans but many is anything but "dry and empty". |
well all though you make valid points, I gotta agree to disagree.
To me, it was a truism, to you, it was perfect.
Plust the whole forum has turned against me lol.
Which is really weird and this as nothing to do with anything but like today i was doing something and I have Pure O, so i was like typing something complelty irrevlent to this on a dif forum and suddenly i suddenly had i spike and I was like "hmm if i don't do this right, then a forum is gonna turn against me." but i decided not to give into the compulsion, and like a forum turned against me! soo weird. Hard to explain to people without OCD.
