Saw a post of someone saying that after everything lin has been through (su,tenzin,toph) she could have become a villain. Found this interesting and wondering if you had any thoughts on this? Idt she’d become a villain but tbh villain lin would be so cool. Or like lin leaving the force to become one of the mst powerful people vibes (beifong power?)
I'm pretty sure I've seen the same post! And I mostly agree with you.
Lin's experiences with her loved ones and the constant theme of abandonment is a set up for a villain origin story. The fact that Lin chooses to be a good guy and fight for others, to protect others speaks volumes on the type of character she is and her strength.
Main reason why I don't see her becoming a villain is because she compares her life to the public. As a police officer, she's seen women, men, children, elderly in abusive situations or has suffered in ways that she hasn't. To Lin, she downplays her own trauma and experiences because they're "nothing compared to what others go through."
She was not physically abused by Tenzin. He never tried to murder her.
Even if her mom wasn't around when she should have been, her mom's friends have stepped up in Toph's place to provide Lin with love and basic necessities.
Lin grew up privileged. She never had to worry about when she would eat next or not being able to go to school.
Lin didn't grow up in a war to see her friends or family killed every day.
The people Lin encounters in her job puts into perspective how "small" her problems are. Not to say that they're small, but Lin compares her problems with others.
(But I agree that Villain Lin would be soooo badass xD )

She's MEEEEE (spoilers for PTN ditty nightsong event and angell interrogations)
The sleep deprivation
The way she'd help the chief at her own cost
Her believing that she doesn't deserve kindness 💔💔💔
And having good morals despite that
Suppressing her feelings unintentionally and ignoring her personal preferences because it's what's natural to her and what's needed with how she lives

I acknowledge that the season was cut almost in half so I should really cut them some slack but I WON'T, SO:
Plot holes/Forgotten Stuff in TUA:
(some of these are mostly just unanswered questions)
-Sloane?? Where tf did she go?
-Why was Jennifer (in the original timeline) in a cage? In Moldova?? Like, was she discovered to have something ( the dimaldo stuff whatever) inside of her, so they wanted to test on her? if she never came into contact with marigold before ben then why would they? WHAT
-also wait how the fuck did she get that stuff in her anyway? How did the dimaldo get to earth after it caused the end of Reginald's home planet? Like,,,shouldnt we know that?
-Her,,,in a squid??? she was Inside a giant squid? W h a t
-the S3 post credits of ben in the train. sure, whatever, that means nothing LMAOO
-I also can't get over - Five explaining "oh yeah when we do this EVERY ALTERNATE TIMELINE is gonna be destroyed, leaving only what should've been - the original," and lila fighitng to put her family in the train station,,,All the other timelines will be destroyed??They're dying and being reborn/reincarnated in the new one anyway GIRL WHAT ARE YOU DOING
(unless ive highly misunderstood that which is likely)
-this isnt a plot hole just - five "trying desperately over and over again to save his unhelpful family who he loves very very much" being literally turned into,,,that. did someone say character assassination?
-lila and five. thats a plot hole in and of itself I DONT CARE if he's aged 12 years from season 3, (6 yr timeskip at beginning of season, then 6 technically 7 in teh train), I DONT CARE IF HES 25 NOW, I DONT CARE IF HES MENTALLY 60 SOMETHING. Lila met and spent time with him when he looked like THIS
THATS A CHILD. and clearly, the family had SOME contact in the 6 yr skip, so she WATCHED HIM GROW UP from 13 - 19, like thats just so WEIRD WHAT
this was supposed to be plot holes and just turned into me being pissed im sorry but HOW DO YOU FUCK UP AN ENDING THIS BAD??
