That's not an alternative character interpretation, it's a statement of fact regarding what he says and does. We were discussing this in the Korra thread but you never offered an argument as to how his actions are consistent. Aang is a hypocrite. He embraces worldly attachment when it's convenient and then rejects it later as suits his needs at the time.

I mean, if you don't want to consider it selfish then fine, I won't argue about that regarding an entry for hypocrisy, but the fact that his actions do not match his words is undeniable.

Zaptech discusses the part in

to:

Zaptech discusses the part in \"Ruby Rose\" where Ozpin remarks on Ruby\'s eyes and the beginning of Volume 3, where Ruby wonders why Ozpin really let her into the school.

This fails to foreshadow anything. For something to be foreshadowing, it doesn\'t have to be spelled out, but there do need to be dots to connect. The first time, Ozpin simply said she had silver eyes and nothing else, and nothing more was made of it. He was stating a fact and made no other comments. The second case, Ruby didn\'t even bring up her eyes at all.

There is no way for a viewer to realize that Ruby is significant in any way because of her eyes until the whole shenanigan at the end of Volume 3. As far as most were able to tell, Ruby was either a maiden because of the story midway through Volume 3, or he was comparing her to Qrow, who he talks about later, which was proven false as of Qrow\'s first appearance showing he had red eyes.

There was also no way to discern anything about Ruby\'s apparent warrior heritage, Grimm-fighting, or that her mother possessed a similar power, all of these also being factors in the event qualifying as AssPull.

A factor being mentioned once doesn\'t qualify for foreshadowing. And an event with no foreshadowing that is not explained prior and moves a significant chunk of the plot is definitely an AssPull.
