At the end of Sozin's Comet the Fire Nation seemed to be perfectly happy with the Avatar defeating the fire lord (that may be an assumption though, but there wasn't any evidence to the contrary), but in the Ember Island Players they were cheering on visions of the demise of the Gaang, to the conquering of Ba Seng Sei and giving a standing ovation to Aang's downfall. But then there were Sokka/Zuko/Aang fans, kids dressed as Aang, people cheering on the Aang character in that crowd in the first part of Sozin's Comet, but in the Day of Black Sun we saw that children were taught that the war was a way of spreading the FN's greatness to the world and in the Headband we saw children were taught to be patriotic and were taught a less dishonorable version of FN history (I.e. that the FN battled an air nomad military). but in Ember Island Players the Gaang were portrayed as trying to save the day. Or perhaps it was meant to come across like the Gaang were idiots who thought they were helping when they weren't. The fire nation civillians, especially the audience of the Ember Island Players, strikes me as inconsistent in their stance, especially dressing up like and being fans of the main characters whilst applauding enactments of the demises of those very characters. Who's side are they on? What was the general public opinion of the war, other nations and the Gaang in the FN?
