Huh. I hadn’t even fully understood the metaphor, but I did have an idea that “they willingly turned into fish to place trust in humanity, and their vulnerability was the point”

I always figured that it was because they were spirits that had taken mortal form so for all intents and purposes they were just your average physically fragile mortal fish with some extra spirit power

some people seem to confuse suspension of disbelief with plot holes and bad writing. They're so focused on being smarter than the writers they miss the point and take the fun out of storytelling

So many examples of this too😮💨 including the “Mirabel should’ve gotten a gift” arguments I was seeing when Encanto was popping on here.

not to mention they were chilling in the most protective and fortified part of the northern water tribe
a place distinguished to be so very well fortified --

Also like they were in a secret room in the NWT, which is a heretofore impenetrable fortress. It wasn't for lack of trying the fish stayed safe, the FN had been trying to breach the NWT for 100 years

Even if they were easy to destroy, we’re told why the Fire Nation never targeted them in the show. 1. The info was hidden away. 2. The Fire Nation was incapable of defeating the Northern Tribe

that's like saying it's a plot hole that Jesus was able to die because he was God. they can be both spirits and fish, idk fantasy worlds can barely have plotholes like that because anything can b true

If we want to look at it in fiction, it's a sacred pool hidden in the very heart of the northern water tribe, basically a fortress. The versatility of water bending with Earth's availability is tough.

This is the exact same way I feel about Fight Club. Like it's so overtly anti-capitalist but I'd been told over and over again it's satire that I thought it was pro-capitalist and I was just being dum

yes, and also, Zhao is a particular type of destructive evil. no one had done it yet because destroying the moon is dumb. even Iroh says that the moon benefits the Fire Nation as well

I cannot believe you were having to argue "why didn't the fire nation go to a secret spirit library hidden in the desert by an angry spirit to seek out niche-ass speculative information they 1/2

Also the fire nation is representing industrialization and their rampant disregard for spirituality in a world where that kinda thing has consequences is the point.

Also the Fire Nation state of that era is uniquely evil in a way that world has never seen before. For the first time ever an entire nation has been wiped out and Zhao is an inheritor of that legacy.

Not to mention that he had to FIND THE LOST LIBRARY IN THE DESERT to learn about their location. They were so well hidden most of the people living near them didn’t know they were there.
