My argument isn’t that Aang didn’t see the killing directly, it’s that he was possessed by a very powerful and angry spirit, so he didn’t have control over his actions.
Also, Aang managed to achieve the same effect - arguably an even more positive one - by not killing Ozai. Sure, killing him would have been simpler, but the show directly shows us that it would not have been better.
Sure, he was on the turtles back, but I think the show explicitly tells us the turtle only came because of his strong will to finish the fight without killing Ozai. Had he been convinced by his previous lives, his will wouldn’t have been strong enough to summon the turtle.
Also, even if the turtle had still come and taught him the technique, he’d have been overpowered by Ozais spirit during the final confrontation. Aang only defeated him during their battle of wills because of his unwavering spirit.
Though, to be fair, he only found that magical being because he kept searching for a different solution. Had he given up and listened to everyone, he wouldn’t have met the turtle.
Aang was very explicitly not in control of himself during the invasion of the north, and he became scared of his power due to his experiences with the avatar state.
The whole moral conundrum is about him consciously choosing to kill the Fire Lord. Yes, he most likely caused deaths before, but not consciously & deliberately.

FooBarrington@lemmy.worldto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•[ComiCSS] Benefits of Tailwind1·11 days agoNo, it’s of course not just aria attributes. But it’s definitely not “how easy can I create user CSS”. Accessibility is a term of art, you can’t just expand its meaning to whatever you want.

No. If DLSS requires less memory, you can use more memory for other things. This means you can use a less beefy GPU, which is worse for Nvidia.

As use has been scaling up, the big companies try to use smaller and cheaper models to save money.
What’s the deal with bees? They work like busy bees and produce honey for us, but we don’t pay them anything. It’s the bees knees! But what if they stopped working for free?
And what’s the deal with airplane bees?
Or, as I like to call them, featherless quadrupeds
