* SlidingScaleOfGenderInequality: The four nations have differing ideas on the role of women, from the Fire Nation, who are the most egalitarian owing to the practical needs of needing constant waves of CanonFodder conscripts to power the aggressor force for a hundred year war, to the Northern Water Tribe, who the author points out canonically held their negative views on women as more important to them than the need to teach the Avatar, once he spoke out in Katara's favor. It's unclear how the Earth Kingdom matches up, because it's very diverse but apparently practices ''foot-binding'' on very young girls, despite the fact that one out of twelve ''die'' from the procedure.

* AcceptableBreaksFromCanon: While the trilogy mostly seeks to stick to canon events and simply reinterpret them or provide them with different context, ''Not Stalking Zuko'' changes events so that instead of attending the family friendly bad play they saw in canon, they went to a HotterAndSexier late night showing instead. This is mostly for the sake of humor derived from further embarrassing the cast with their stage personas.

Their isolationist policies and refusal to support in the other nations' war efforts or help their own sister tribe as it was decimated and pleading for aid is portrayed as selfish and cowardly and has earned them varying levels of ill-repute.

** Jet's therapy proves counterproductive because he doesn't believe he has a problem.
** Aang may be the Avatar, and that may give him great power, but he's still a ''twelve year old child'' being asked to solve a century-old global political conflict, and a particularly naive child at that. Of course he's not going to manage it perfectly; he's still in the process of learning how to predict and properly consider the consequences of his actions, and naturally making mistakes in the process. This issue is compounded by the fact that it's also difficult for him to see value in others' advice sometimes because he simply hasn't yet reached the point at which he can understand and accept the value in opinions that contradict his own--at least, not without suffering the consequences of not listening first.
** Similarly, Aang's particular brand of InnocentlyInsensitive preachy idealism, insistence that everyone immediately forgive wrongs against them, and denial of the moral nuance involved in justice, healing, and actual forgiveness doesn't mean that the world and those around him actually conform to his standards. By ''Not Stalking Firelord Zuko,'' it just means that Aang's friends don't always inform him of the more morally complicated parts of events they're involved in because they don't want to be preached at.

* SlidingScaleOfGenderInequality: The four nations have differing ideas on the role of women, from the Fire Nation, who are the most egalitarian owing to the practical needs of needing constant waves of CanonFodder conscripts to power the aggressor force for a hundred year war, to the Northern Water Tribe, who the author points out canonically held their negative views on women as more important to them than the need to teach the Avatar, once he spoke out in Katara's favor. It's unclear how the Earth Kingdom and Southern Water Tribe match up with each other, because the latter is also heavily patriarchal and the former is more diverse but apparently practices ''foot-binding.''

** The Southern Water Tribe was slightly less oppressive but still very patriarchal; women waterbenders were clearly taught actual waterbending (see: Hama) and they don't appear to have had arranged marriages, but their accomplishments are not celebrated like men's and they were still expected to basically act as their husband's domestic servant, with Gram-Gram even differing to ''Sokka' on decisions despite him being a teenager and her being a village Elder. However it's notable that this gender hierarchy was collapsing rapidly while the men were away, because the women had to take over their jobs to survive, and while Sokka was initially sexist he still respected Katara and the rest of the remaining tribe too much to treat her or them as that far beneath him. Apparently the wife of the most vocally misogynistic warrior in their tribe has become the Tribe's best hunter while he was away, and Katara viciously hopes that returning home will teach the man a lesson.

* GrayingMorality: In the first half of the series, before the war ends, the Fire Nation is a clear antagonist, but several Fire Nation {{O|riginalCharacter}}Cs are introduced and portrayed sympathetically. After the end of the war, the peace process begins, which involves Zuko trying to rebuild his nation, put it on the right track and make amends for what it did. Meanwhile, the victorious protagonists are hardly saints, as the Earth Kingdom has some war criminals in its midst (the Dai Li and General Fong), while the Northern Water Tribe treats its Southern "sister tribe" poorly.
