I felt that Roku in The Promise is so much more brash and just not the Roku we saw in the show. In the show, Roku never tried to push his views onto Aang, he simply just offered up what he would have done if he could have gone back and changed it. In the comic, he is straight up trying to convince Aang to end Zuko and in this conversation, he even tells Aang that Zuko is his great grandson. Every conversation they have is like Aang talking to a robot.
Why did the writers decide for Aang to break his prayer beads just because he was over talking to Roku. Like I get that Aang doesn’t need the necklace to connect with his past lives but the writers foot notes make it seems like it’s easier for him to connect with a specific past life this way. Sure symbolism blah blah blah but it just seemed so dramatic to me for no reason.
