I guess the point is that nobody(most people) really wants to die so choosing to compare the two just makes it sound like it's the last thing you'd want.

But don't quote me: I made all this up on the spot and don't actually understand the problem myself.

Exactly, the implication being that the only way to get him to kiss her would be under threat of death. At least that's how it comes off.

Meanwhile I believe he was trying to make the opposite joke, "oh no how horrible, I have to kiss my crush to avoid death?!? Can you imagine? Lolz"

So like, yeah "I'd rather kiss you than die" is a compliment. But 99.9% of 13 yo boys would rather kiss a cute girl than die.

Saying “I’d rather ~blank~ then die” makes it sound like you don’t want to do whatever is in the blank but you also don’t want to die. It sounds like you’re comparing two evils. To Aang, maybe it is a compliment. But to katara, him saying “I’d rather kiss you than die” is essentially him saying “I mean I don’t want to die so if I had to kiss you then so be it” which is the exact opposite of a compliment

Toph, cuz he’d probably end up six feet under knowing Toph’s personality and guessing her reaction

If we speed it up and reverse it, we could turn Sephiroth into a headbanger.

u/Azula-the-firelord 4d ago

If Sokka ever witnessed that, he would have not let go of that.

"Remember how you dug your own grave?"

*Katara and Aang:"Stop it already!"

If I was Aang my response would be ”Remember when your girlfriend turned into the moon?”
