Well I do think that with the shift to the older pov and also the picking up of themes that are noticeably more complex than ATLA that we can't just say children's show anymore. And yeah taking away bending is a total violation and is being constructed like the death penalty in a way. You know, only being awarded to the worst of the worst offenders. And as with the death penalty the question of who gets to dole it out is problematic. I think we're gonna keep coming back to the Avatar-as-wielder-of-divine-right vs Avatar-as-really-big-stick
