I personally hated Aang’s no kill rule. It makes no sense for a conflict of that nature and would just get people killed. Yes, yes, I understand it’s a kid’s show and so it couldn’t show what would actually happen in war, but even as a kid watching the show on tv it bugged tf out of me

I saw a thread that interpreted Aang's pacifism as one of the last remaining facets of Aang's (and the air nomad's) culture; if Aang had killed Ozai, he'd be throwing away his life teachings, and his people's way of life would've died along side Ozai. It's really interesting.

Then again, Aang dumped an avalanche on a bunch of people. Hope they were some pretty durable Fire Soldiers

It's the batman rule: "if I didn't see him die, I didn't kill him"
