Rite of Passage: Difference between revisions

{{Useful Notes}}

Lots of cultures have a special ceremony that marks the transition from teen to adult. It's both a celebration of a major life landmark and an acknowledgment that the celebrant is a part of the mystical society of grownups. In cultures without such a ceremony, other major life landmarks are celebrated instead. May include a [[Meaningful Rename]].

* ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' has "ice-dodging," where young Water Tribe members have to navigate a boat through a field of icebergs. Sokka, Katara, and Aang perform the task through a field of rocks, being too far north for icebergs.

* Every Lord of the [[Thundercats]] has to endure a series of trials before they can be crowned. For Lion-O this meant five different trials spread over five episodes.

* [[Taz-Mania|Francis X. Bushlad's tribe]] has three options, equally valid: either the ancestral strategy of slaying a mighty and dangerous beast, or the slightly more contemporary options of buying out a major corporation in a hostile takeover, or amassing a stock portfolio worth $500,000.
