It does if it's right through the head...Also it would be instant compared to hours of pain just laying there. |
Not necessarily. Its not like a bullet.??Ever watch those ER shows (on the discovery channel, not the series) they bring in people with head injuries (including knife in the head and gunshots)??often and many times those people survive.
If they wanted to put a quick end to it Smellerbee's dagger would have been the logical option. *shudders slightly at thought*
It would be quicker, not necessarily instant.
But yeah, after watching it again, I think it could just be that Longshot was guarding him.?? But I still think he was guarding him until he died.

Well, the argument there is that Jet wasn't dead when the Aang gang left, he was dying.?? In the process of.?? I honestly don't see what's "ridiculous" about assuming that the arrow Longshot put to his bow could be for Jet.?? You see that a lot of times--a quick(er) death at the hands of a friend as opposed to hours of long, slow death.?? I'm not saying it absolutely is, just that it's a possibility. Toph wouldn't've been so upset about Jet lying about being fine if he was going to be back on his feet in an hour (or a couple of days or whatever).?? Honestly, if he wasn't dying, he looked paralyzed.?? And when Katara stood up after trying to heal him, she was really upset.?? The kind of upset that goes along with knowing that his insides are really messed up. Smellerbee and Longshot??were guarding him, sure, but guarding him until when??? Until he was strong enough to get up??? Because from the look on Katara's face and the tone of Toph's voice, it didn't sound like he was going to be strong enough to move for a good long while.?? I think they were just guarding him until he died. I'll actually feel a little bit cheated if Jet has an unexpected comeback.?? You don't set up a scene like that, with everyone crying and everything all dramatic and sad, and then be like "But he's okay!"?? Cheapens the whole thing. |
...What'd be cool?? Everyone, even the Freedom Fighters think Jet is dead, and leave him in the tunnel thingy... BUT he's alive, only with amniesia! He wanders around in the sewer thingy place until he finds a certain mask....
....You may throw insults now....**Grabs sheild**

| Ummm I dunno if anyone noticed, but then Long Shot readies his arrow, he's facing in the exact other direction of Jet. |
He could turn...
Yeah, I don't know why I like the idea of Longshot shooting him.?? Just more dramatic.?? I don't believe it anymore though.
Still think he's dead.?? If not, it really cheapens his "death scene."?? I think it's a major strong point of this show that they're willing to let characters die.
For the record, I kinda find Jet boring.?? Not, like, snoozing every time he was on screen boring, but...generic.?? Out of all the Avatar characters, for some reason, he strikes me as the least interesting, because the bad***, too-cool-for-school, tough-guy, unruffled anti-hero has been done to death.?? I mean, a lot of Avatar characters are common archetypes (most of them, in fact), but they always manage to breathe such life into them.?? Jet's not bland-boring, he's just...a particular archetype that I, personally, have had my fill of after spending most of high-school drooling over those types.
