* MagnificentBastard: The Invisible Hand qualifies for the scope and complexity of his evil accomplishments, and Azula herself proves to be more than his equal once she realizes the game she's being forced to play. Both are increasingly ruthless in their pursuits.

* CompleteMonster: [[DomesticAbuser Frank]] is a [[MotorMouth fast-talking]], brutal thug who becomes involved with the plot when he tries to sell stolen microchips to Brian, a scientist who invented a TimeMachine. He picks up the stranded heroine Karen on the road, only to murder his abused wife Rayanne in front of Karen after he discovers Rayanne's infidelity. Karen travels back in time to stop Frank, only to make things worse with each iteration. Throughout the various temporal loops Frank kills his wife, kills her lover, tries to kill Karen, kills the local Sheriff, kills a family of three, takes the family's son hostage and [[WouldHurtAChild threatens to kill the boy]], and mocks Karen when she couldn't save the kid in a later loop. He eventually decides to use the time machine so he can go back through multiple loops and kill Brian and Karen as many times over as possible.

unfortunate implications need citations


* UnfortunateImplications: Most of the POV characters worked for the Fire Nation during the time period covered by the original cartoon, and naturally refer to their service and the fallout in a sympathetic light. The villains, meanwhile, were mostly associated with the Earth Kingdom during the war. And in the colonies, the Fire Nation is portrayed as the source of all technology and economic growth. All of this has roots in the cartoon, but the selective presentation can give the impression of supporting [[MightyWhitey classic colonialism]] in a similar manner to Comicbook/AvatarTheLastAirbenderThePromise.

* {{Moe}}: Azula in the asylum, so much so that Sokka became devoted to healing her.

* MisaimedFandom: Some people consider this an Azula Redemption fic, and/or were rooting for Azula to conquer the colonies. In truth, Azula herself asserts that the loss of her memories means she can never truly be redeemed, and WordOfGod says [[spoiler:Azula was using the colonial leadership as a rallying point only, and always planned on faking her death and escaping]].
