#0, 2013.07.10: Two Visionaries
Posted by Gryphon on Jul-10-13 at 11:59 PM
So Phil and I were talking about Avatar: The Last Airbender, and, well, this happened.

<Z-Gryphon> Given all that goes on in [Zuko's] life in the third season, one has to say becoming Fire Lord was probably not a really good career move. He obviously needs to go into a line of work where his uncanny talent for making everything worse is an -asset-, such as being the lead guitarist in a fractious and headline-making rock band.
<Z-Gryphon> "The Phoënix Kïngs are fortunate in that they have TWO visionaries."
<Z-Gryphon> ("I don't think the problem is that the band was down, I don't think that was it at all. I think you'll find that the PROBLEM was that there was a Walled City of Ba Sing Se on the stage that was in IMMINENT DANGER of being CRUSHED by a DWARF.")
<Philip-M> *snrk*
<Z-Gryphon> ... yes, in fact, I think from now on my preferred way of envisioning Ozai's children after the series will be to assume that they went on to be the perpetually feuding frontpersons of the world's most preposterously dramatic rock band.
<Z-Gryphon> constantly skating the ragged edge of breakup and using instability for maneuverability like an idiotically twitchy fighter plane along the way. :)
<Philip-M> *snort* in some alternate universe, perhaps. :)
* Z-Gryphon flashes back to the "VH1 Behind the Music" ep about the Jefferson Airplane/Starship
<Z-Gryphon> in which, older and greyer, they're all sitting on a couch, and Marty Balin (I think) says, "I think the real problem was probably that we were all sleeping with Grace," and all the others (including Grace) nod sagely in agreement.
<Z-Gryphon> :)
<Philip-M> Aghble. :)
