The user Rebochan deleted my TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot entry, about the struggle between Unalaq\\\'s theocracy and Varrick\\\'s materialism, claiming the show \\\"wasn\\\'t raising any of the issue [I] claim it was\\\".
Despite that, the very first episode states that that was, in fact, Unalaq\\\'s motive: \\\"I am saddened to see what [this festival] has become: a cheap carnival that celebrates greedy and trivial humans.\\\" Image of Varrick. \\\"I feel the time is fast approaching when the North can no longer stand idly by while our Southern brothers slip into total spiritual decay.\\\" There\\\'s also plenty of subtler hints, like Varrick\\\'s carnival turning Avatar Aang into a cheap water gun target.
As such, I\\\'m reinstating my entry, because \\\'\\\'\\\'in my opinion\\\'\\\'\\\' (YMMV) the first episode hinted at a much more interesting angle to the issue than the cartoonish supervillainy the season eventually turned into. But it \\\'\\\'is\\\'\\\' still there in the episode itself.
