Code Geass--Lelouch's Character
It feels really foreign here, and it would seem the same since I don't see the usual members lurking around. Whether it be because of their busy lives or what, I don't know, but it does add to the unfamiliarity.
Anyways...
I thought that Avatar: the Last Airibender ruined anime for me since they opened to my eyes on so many things wrong and annoying with anime--such as the length, the filler arcs, the prolonging of plots to fill an episode and what not; etc. But I've gotten into Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion, and I must say so far, it's pretty good. It's not long, I think about fifty episodes; they don't have filler arcs (although they do have filler eps. like the flashback eps. that thankfully was skipped over in the dubbed version), and so on.
But I must say...
The main character, Lelouch...well I feel like I'm the only one who finds him a b@a$t@ard. An anti-hero, doesn't seem to quite fill his role, although that is what he is. He's not like Light, from Death Note, but still...
I mean, I'm not saying he's gotta be like Luke Skywalker...but look at Zuko. He didn't have heroic qualities, the way Aang did; but he certainly wasn't a Super!jerk like Lelouch.
Okay...the main point of this entry is that I find it REALLY annoying that the main character believes the end justify the "meanness." He wants to create a better world for his little sister, but in doing so, he hurts his half-siblings and childhood best friend.
Gah. Anyways, if you have time, I recommend Code Geass.
Umm where am I?
I lost the internet for like two months, and I come back here....to the Twilight Zone. What happened? I'm lost. Everything is DIFFERENT and weird. I don't know my way around this place. XD
Do you guys like the new style?
Ty Lee During Season 3
Fanfic Idea?
I know I should have posted my thoughts on the finale here, but this site hates me so much. I've tried a billion times, but it won't let me. Something about wrong HTMLs but I've checked over and over again and there was nothing wrong with it.
Anyways, I saw a brilliant plot device on DeviantART and thought I would share.
Power Corrupts by QueenoftheCute
"It came from a very vague idea of how Aang could easily be turned into an effective villain if he had killed Ozai. After all, he'd be an insanely powerful individual who cares very deeply about the things he believes in, but also considers himself able to judge the worth of another human life. And that spawned the idea of an exiled Azula trying to reclaim her throne while the Gaang, in an effort to create a world-wide utopia, become more and more, well, evil.
Zuko and Katara are obviously the Avatar's right-hand men. As Fire Lord and Bloodbender, they're invaluable to his efforts."
An evil Avatar? A world gone terribly wrong. Doesn't that sound morbid and yet interesting?
I mean Zuko had no qualms with Aang killing his father; Katara could go to the dark side as we've seen in TSR; and if Aang did kill Ozai, would could possibly stop them?
I mean I see Sokka, probably saying something; maybe even Toph--but how can they go against Aang, Katara, and Zuko?
As for Mai. Well in TBR we saw that even though she didn't agree on Zuko's methods (betraying the Fire Nation) she'll follow him.
Thoughts?
Avatar---The Southern Raiders [Spoilers]
ZOMG!!! I honestly went, "Holy sh!t what happened to her?!" when I heard Azula speak to Zuko. LoL. Celebrating about being an only child. XD But seriously, anyone who knows Azula (and I don't mean those who think she's cold-hearted and etc) knows that Azula never speaks that way...she's usually talking in calm manner. You know like those scary movies where the villain is walking slowly towards their victims and yet they always seem to catch up to them. *sighs* Ty Lee and Mai, how could you? (jk jk)
I hope Suki has a good reason for tagging along with the Gaang...because it just seems weird for me.
Poor Appa, even after all this time, he still hates tunnels. Although he did fairly well in the Cave of Two Lovers--what happened? ^^;; Sorry but I don't remember. He'd rather face the fire balls even after being somewhat tortured by the circus then go through the tunnel.
Albeit short, I loved the Zuko and Azula fight. I wanna kill Zuko though. Not only does he have any instinct to save his little sister whatsoever, but then he looks all sad that she may actually fall to her death---and then when Azula's able to save herself (woot!) he's resentful!!! I mean WTF? There were debates going on how Zuko's too big of a person, he would surely save his sister despite that they pretty much hate each other, but noooo. He was gonna allow her to die like that. Bah. There is one good thing though, we got to Azula's hair down without any half pony tails, flowing in the wind like Pocahantas. XD
Man is Katara bitter or what? I get that she's angry about her mom but to misplace that anger into Zuko? I feel sorry for the guy.
That Sokka scene that everyone's been waiting for, I would have probably laughed more if I hadn't seen it coming. ^_^ What bad and naughty teens Suki and Sokka are. LOL.
The Zuko and Sokka friendship---I'm liking it.
I wished though the flashback would have explained to us why exactly Sokka cannot remember his mother's face. That usually implies that they didn't have a close rel. or that he was tramatized, therefore his brain blocks it out. I'd rather go with the latter but now I don't think I can. I mean I read a great fanfic by Princess Tyler Briefs from ff.net about why Sokka can't remember (which makes more sense to me than the canon, he witnesed his mother's death) and I understand that the idea probably wouldn't pass for Nick--but really now. He's the older sybling, so it doesn't make sense---Katara forgetting would make sense since she's younger.
Oh well, another thing Sokka can have in common with Azula---yay for Sokkla! XDD
Aang, he's so wise! I love it. I mean he's right, he lost his entire people and yet he's not acting anywhere near Katara--but then again everyone has different reactions to things. Man Zach Tyler's voice maturity really showed in this ep. in my opinion. And I laughed when he asked if it was Katara's turn to have a feildtrip with Zuko. I'm glad the writers notice. I doubt Toph will have one--then again she doesn't need to.
And Zuko, what the heck? You took a step backwards! Really he shouldn't have agreed and condoned Katara's actions like that...plus he didn't exactly kill his father when he has the chance now---did he?
Okay I know this was supposed to be a tear jerker, but in truth I wasn't crying or sad. I was surprised though. I expected the murderer to be a changed man that way Katara changes her mind but, surprisingly he was a jerk. I thought he was good until he said to Katara she could have his mother, bah, pathetic old man. But that's good--they took a different step from the usual seeking-revenge-stories out there.
So I wonder what the Zutarians are thinking. Loads of screencaps and moments to use.
As for Kya---lol I was so expecting that they use Katara's pilot name for her mom. I had planned on using it myself for a fanfic, but I never did go through with it cuz I was lazy. XD
And whoever said, in ASN forums, that everyday is Grey DeLisle Appreciation Day was right! Holy crap! That woman is GREAT at what she does. I almost didn't notice, but Kya's voice actress is her! LoL.
Aside from playing Azula, she played Ta Min, Kya, and play!Katara in the next episode. ^____^
My thought on the preview for the Ember Island Players commercial?
Katara you _______! Poor Aang. He's waited so long---ya know Katara didn't have to lead him like that. (JK JK JK) if it wasn't the right time, she could've helped relay the message during all those Kataang moments. XDDD I'm so excited!
PS: I'm not an avid Kataang shipper---I'd rather have Sokkla happen than Kataang if given a choice. ^_^ But I do like Kataang and I'm not a Zutara hater either.
Oh I forgot to add that I love Sokka's hair down! ^___^
