Nickelodeon (ended 2008)
It's true. The book is accurate.
[/QUOTE]
Just because what's in the book is accurate doesn't mean there isn't going to be a whole lot more. Not to sound like I'm promoting my own thread or anything but...

The thing is, there's that interview. I don't think that person could put in a fake interview. I'm not completely saying it's true, but I'm also not denying it. I'm more leaning to towards the book being a watered-down version of the actual finale.

There's an interview at the end between the author and Bryke.

| OK, can we stop talking about the book please? *points to sig* Anyway, I highly doubt censorship issues would be the cause of Azula and/or Ozai not dieing if they don't die. Zhao and Jet died (though, offscreen really) but the point is that they did die. It'd be screwed up if the creators had to alter the entire story for the sake of censorship. |
And that is why Ozai and azula should die.
I only read parts of it,but judging by the parts I read as well as the title,I'd say you have a good point.Killing him will only make the fire nation angrier and they'd still be mad.They could defeat him while keeping him alive,which could stop the fire nation.

I want them to die because that's what I've been waiting for for two years. They killed off Zhao, Jet, Yue and Combustion Man, so why not the two main villains. We have been told several times that Ozai needs to die. Seeing Ozai and Azula rot in prison is not satisfying.

WHOAH. I never thought of like that. You're really smart! And it would make a lot of sense for them to take Ozai and/or Azula alive. And like many other people here said, I liked your comparison to Caesar's murder and the Roman Empire.
But if they don't kill them, what will they do with them afterwards?

Did you even read my post? we all know that Avatar has been ruthless in the past in killing off main characters, this is a thread about why I think Ozai and/or Azula won't die not because the writers are afraid of a little death, but because they prefer smart endings to popular endings. Another thing - I would like you to point out even a single line of dialouge when somone tells Aang that he needs to kill the firelord. There is none. They always use the saqme key word - "defeat". And why do you keep endlessly going on abouthow it wouldn't be satisfying to see Ozai in prison rather than dead. I would think that spending the rest of his life rotting in some jail ten miles underneath Ba Sing Se would be far more humiliating and punishing for him than going out in a blaze of glory against the most powerful being in the world.
There is an old saying; "Beware those in whom the desire to punish is overwhelming". Isn't that what's going on here, the desire to punish?

I will make this short.... An ever repeating theme in Avatar has been death. And what this has shown us again and again is that death is not percieved negatively or as a punishment, just as another journey.
So killing Ozai would not be the ultimate punishment (there has to be somthign else...) Also in relation Aang has reflected over and over again the value and sanctity of someones life, no matter who they are; wether it be giving people second chances (Zuko) or that anyone is capable of great love or great evil (Avatar and the Firelord). (if ya dont know what im on about listen to dongufeng.com "From the Spirit World Podcast")
So i think the possibility of Aang sparing Oza's life would be as Axrendale said , a smart ending. It would be the ultimate conclusion to Aang's chracter development if depsite everything he kept to his morals and values and preserved life, rather than racked up the courage to end it.
And one last point, it said in the summary on the nick.com website for Episode 320: Book 3 Volume 4 DVD that "will Aang have the heart to defeat the Fielord?" I think the fact that this was included in a one sentance summary for the episode means a main plot point that maybe Aang will have issues with killng Ozai. Just my two cents worth
