HOT TAKE INCOMING...

Aang should've struggled with waterbending.

OK! OK! OK! I get why you're upset, just hear me out first! (Also I'm a teenage girl, not an old man.)

Now, if we remember the whole system with the four elements, fire is the element of power, earth is the element of substance, air is the element of freedom, and water is the element of change. And each Avatar has an element that they struggle with because its principles conflict with their personality.

That's why Aang struggled to earthbend, its mindset of facing conflict head-on contrasted with his avoidance of conflict. Similarly, Korra struggled to airbend because its mindset of avoiding conflict contradicted with her hot-headedness and brash attitude.

However, the problem is that while Korra (realistically) spends the entire first season learning to airbend (but this isn't about her though, this is about Aang), Aang struggles with earthbending for just one episode and then instantly grasps the concept and become really proficient (hey, maybe Toph's just a really good teacher).

This is the problem. The writers wanted Aang to struggle, so they gave them challenges that clashed with Aang's character traits, but then as soon as the episode ends, he's automatically succeeded in the given task. It's really annoying how Bryke especially don't want Aang to learn from his mistakes and grow as a person, because Raava forbid their Pwecious Boi(TM) is ever in the wrong!

Another element he struggled with is firebending, but not so much with the element itself as with the application of firebending. In The Deserter (1x16), Aang is given the opportunity to learn how to firebend under the tutelage of Jeong Jeong, but over time Aang becomes careless until he accidentally burns Katara while playing around. The episode ends with Aang swearing to never firebend again, and he stays true to his word until The Firebending Masters (3x13), when he and Zuko relearn firebending from the titular masters, Ran and Shaw. This episode ends with them learning that fire isn't an element of destruction, but rather one of life, warmth, and light, and thus becoming more confident in their firebending abilities.

Then there's waterbending, which is the only element besides air that Aang did not struggle with (apparently it was because Aang was quickly able to grasp the mindset of water), but he somehow managed to be a better waterbender than Katara? "Hard to believe" is how I'd put it. I really think there's a missed opportunity to have Aang struggle with the element, and here's why.

The world has changed a lot during the hundred years Aang was trapped in the iceberg. As Katara put it best, "Everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked." Aang had just found out that every single one of his people were exterminated by the Fire Nation, and the rest of the world was caught in a brutal war that lasted an entire century. Worse, in The Northern Air Temple (1x17), Aang discovers that a group of refugees have moved into the Northern Air Temple and almost completely renovated the interior for their own needs (this is a really grey area of morality, I personally believe that the Mechanist was wrong for destroying what was already there in the temple, but Aang was acting on borderline supremacist behaviour throughout the episode. Plus the Mechanist and Teo especially were genuinely interested in Air Nomad culture and wanted the best for their community).

That's why I believe that Aang should have had a mini-arc about waterbending throughout Book 1 (like how he did with learning earthbending and later firebending in the later seasons), which would be about realizing that the world has changed so much during the last century. The Gaang still steals the waterbending scroll, but this time around, instead of getting it right first try, Aang would struggle terribly the first few times because he's still in denial that he's the Avatar and truly the last of his kind.

This would be explored at the Northern Air Temple, which would still new development. He'd have a talk with Teo who reminds him of his people, and that they would never leave him, and that they would live on in his heart. (I personally think it was a missed opportunity that Teo didn't become one of the Air Acolytes. He'd do great improving the standard of living by inventing new machines that would be a benefit, not a detriment, to the new Air Nation and to everyone who is part of it. That's for another time, though.)

Then at the North Pole the whole deal with Pakku would still be there, but this time Aang would still lag behind Katara, this time not because of his laziness, but rather because he still doesn't understand the change. Then with a little help from Katara and Yue, Aang would finally understand that the world has changed, nothing will be the same, but he can face this. With a little help from Water Tribe philosophy, Aang would realize during the finale that what makes the Water Tribe strong is their ability to work with adversity, rather than resisting or fleeing, and their strong bonds with family that can hold them through anything. Also can we please please please have more Water Tribe Aang? The Gaang spent most of Book 1: Water in the Earth Kingdom!

And there you have it. My argument for why Aang should have struggled with waterbending. You can agree or disagree (you are, after all, entitled to your own opinion), but please don't be rude about it, and try to consider my perspective too.

Tell Us More, Mr. Mentalist (s1e16, Bloodshot)

Did my best to transcribe the newspaper article "Red John Strikes Again, Psychic's Family Brutally Murdered." The others were too small to be legible.

Police aren't releasing any details of the double homicide reported in Malibu last night. Rumors swarm around the "psychic paranormal detective" who has been helping the police track a serial killer.

It is reported that Patrick Jane returned home to find his wife and daughter killed in his Southern California home. This comes on the heels of his most recent television appearance on the Davis and Kelly show.

After releasing details of a serial killer Jane has been profiling for the police, his family was reported murdered. Due to the special circumstances of this crime, the police are not releasing any details other than the fact that they suspect it was [an elusive] serial killer they refer to as "Red John."

Jane denounced Red John on his recent appearance on the morning show. This most likely upset the killer who has been [known] for several [?] killings in the past few years.

So far, "Red John" has evaded police capture. Local Law Enforcement had no comment as well as the California Bureau of Investigation.

[wardrobemoments]

Jane in s1e16, Bloodshot

How rare to see Jane in a tie!

Every aspect of these suits is an elevated version of what he wears in the present. Imagine the dark blue or the charcoal pinstripe suit he frequently dons. Now, here, it is immaculately pressed, he's forgone a vest and added a silky tie with a subtle pattern; the fabric of his suit glistens under the light instead of absorbing it; his collar and cuffs are perfectly straight and tidy.

It is the showman's suit, and it describes a man in perfect control of his image -- or desperately trying to be.

Some details: here, he wears peak lapels and french cuffs and what looks like a spread collar. Present-day, he wears square single-button cuffs (possibly round, it's hard to tell in some scenes) with notch lapels and (again, hard to tell, but looks like) straight collars. Basically, after Red John, he "dressed down" every detail of his wardrobe to a more informal version of his former self.

By the way, I tried to do a little math. Jane's birthday is supposedly in 1974, and this flashback took place around 2001. That would make him about 27 or so. Opinions: can he pass for a 27 year old?
