retro_eidasAs I was weak, I watched the leak of 306 and my reactions are here.
Roku's and Sozin's dragons, they were red and blue, respectively. Just like in Zuko's dream from "The Earth King"... and Zuko chose the blue dragonas he is a stupid douchebag. Although the "red dragon" hasn't given up on him yet, dammit!
This whole thing with Ursa being a descendant of Avatar Roku? It's very Gnostic, isn't it? According to the Gnostics, Jesus' heir - a daughter, Sarah - married into a line of French kings (the Merovingians). Not unlike Ursa, granddaughter of Avatar Roku, marrying into the Fire Nation royal family by marrying Ozai. In essence, Zuko continues that line as a descendant of Avatar RokuJesus or the Earthly incarnation of him by being a continuation of his Earthly bloodline... while Aang carries the divine essence (IOW, Aang is the Christ, Zuko is the Jesus and nobody fucks with the Jesus... ahem). Zuko and Aang = two halves of a whole separated over time and destined to come back together just like the slashy tru luvz of Sozin/Roku OTP 4evahz!!!11
Also I'd add, if Ursa = Sarah, Sarah and her mum Mary Magdalene died in exile (in France?). As Ursa, if she's alive and barring imprisonment, is now likely exiled / hiding somewhere NOT the Fire Nation. Probably with the aid of Order of the White Lotus. Not unlike a pregnant Mary Magdalene who'd been protected by the Jewish community (in Egypt, the UK and France), whisked off abroad after Jesus' crucifixion.
I'm also amused by all the discussion of "royal artifacts". Royal Artifact (per Gnosticismand more contemporary and unfortunate in Dan Brown) = the Holy Grail. What's more it's a Prince's Crown that Sozin bestows on Roku. Gnostics believed the Holy Grail was Mary Magdalene and the royal artifact was her unborn daughter (Jesus being the King of Kings and all that jazz). Sarah, literally, means "princess" in Hebrew.
Of course, I'm not sure that necessarily says good things about the royal line if Fire Nation royals = the Merovingians. The Merovingians were all wiped out IIRC. I suppose it would serve them right, considering what Sozin did to the Airbenders. Karma and all that. Although I'd imagine Zuko, probably, would be spared (as he has the most development and somebody needs to be ruling Fire Nation after the war)... but all the rest of them? Dead. Zuko is going to be the last one standing, methinks.
Considering the above which is all just a bit too coincidental? Wouldn't be shocked at all it turned out the writers probably are taking cues from Gnosticism (as well as Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, etc etc).Too much Alan Moore for them!!
