I’m sorry, but I find it very hard to believe that the Cullens would’ve won against the Volturi. I know they had the wolves and some of the people on their side had cool powers, but the Volturi had the numbers, the experience, and members of their own with abilities.
I know the fight didn’t happen in the book, and the only reason it was added to the movie was to make it worth watching, but the Volturi losing still made no sense.
We never see Felix’s death. Alec never uses his power during the fight (which makes no sense given he could have immobilized everyone with the exception of Bella). Literally just distract Bella, or take her out. Demetri’s death felt cheap given that he’s supposed to be one of the best fighters among vampires (I don’t think he would have made the arrogant mistake he made simply due to his experience). He also should have known Edward wasn’t dead due to how his ability works. Caius should have lasted much longer in the battle than he did. The is the man who nearly single-handedly wiped out the werewolf race.
I just feel like the Volturi has so much experience with wiping people out, that they would have known to target certain people first (like Bella who rendered two of their most powerful useless).
I was in the Momtara/Dadko tag and I was surprised how many people are disgusted by it. But I have a theory on why it bothers some people.
It’s a tag that references the fact that both Katara and Zuko act as the Gaang’s kind-of-parents in the show. But it also points out the glaringly obvious difference in emotional maturity in the group. I think that when people start to acknowledge this difference, it might make shipping either Katara or Zuko with the other members of the Gaang feel kind of gross.
Because Aang and Toph both act very much like children (they’re like 11, so I get it) but, despite the fact that Katara is only 3 years older than Aang, she is MILES ahead of him in terms of emotional maturity. Aang deals with his emotions similarly to someone of his own age, like when Katara yells at him in the Waterbending Scroll and he immediately starts getting teary. That’s a normal reaction for a child, but Katara never yells at him again and shoves her own feelings aside for the better of the group (The Western Air Temple). She is constantly having to calm him down when he gets angry or goes into the Avatar State and always supports him emotionally (despite getting none of that back from Aang). On top of that, Aang doesn’t take responsibilities regarding the domestic chores, so it really makes Katara seem like more of a mother or older sister.
I also know that people ship Zukka (I don’t, but I know it’s popular) and, while Sokka acts close to his actual age, Zuko has a bitterness to him that came because of his banishment. Zuko even said in The Beach (S3 E5) that he doesn’t deal with the same problems that normal teenagers have. His trauma made him into someone who doesn’t see himself as a normal teen and we see how Iroh’s influence shaped Zuko whenever he is doing something good. Think about how he interacted with Lee (Zuko Alone) or the emotional maturity he shows when he apologizes to the Gaang (Western Air Temple) or when Katara blames him for her mother’s death (The Southern Raiders).
I just thought about that because it would make sense why it seems to disgust people. Because it’s seen as cute or a way for Katara and Zuko to support each other for a lot of Zutara fans (I’m not making a blanket statement, but there is a reason why it’s popular with a lot of us).
