So! I just watched (most of) the third disk of A:TLA. (For the first time, although I have been reading fic for the past year or so.)
Reaction: sfdsjsdlsak I WANT TO PUNCH JET IN HIS SMIRKING ASSHOLE FACE. >:[
Jet is exactly the right combination of charismatic genocidal idealist and that smug asshole ex you broke up with who made rape jokes all the time and always introduced you as "the lady" and somehow managed to charm you into staying with him for years. He hits pretty much all of my do not want buttons.
(See, world, this is why the Fire Nation is intent on conquering everything! Because if they stand down now then it will take about three seconds for Jet and all his friends to over-run the place and kill everyone everywhere.)
Mind you, I have read Jet-centric stories stories. And enjoyed them! Because I knew from the start that Jet was seriously messed up and likely to murder everyone in sight just to get all the hidden Fire Nation people, and the fics in question were mostly about him getting hit hard enough by various things (usually Zuko) that it knocked some sense into his 'must kill Fire Nation' head.
. . . But djsakl;dks I DID NOT KNOW THAT HE WOULD ALSO BE SUCH A SMUG ASSHOLE THAT COMBINED EVERY 'STAY AWAY FROM THIS GUY HE IS TROUBLE' SIGNAL EVER. KATARA, YOU SHOULD HAVE HIT HIM HARDER.
