Here is an extremely thorough distillation of every lovely part of it plus a few rabble rousing arguable bits (if you want international production you probably need some kind of rebate system but probably not one that is $1 for $1 with the tax rate):

You know how Sokka began Avatar with all these sexist ideas that throughout the series are constantly proven to him are wrong and as he travels the world he learns and grows into a better man?

What if he just didn’t do any of that? Watch our show!

Edit: Genuinely curious how the remake will handle the episode where they first meet the Kiyoshi Warriors, where like half the episode is about Sokka trying to act superior and getting checked hard

It's too bad that they always replace the old stuff with absolutely nothing at all when they do this, instead of exploring the character in a different way that could be equally as compelling as the original

I saw the Iron Claw today.

Was the only one in the cinema.

It was just alright. Not amazing or compelling, but not bad either.

Musical choices were really predictable though.

the word oval office is currently undergoing a transformation, taking on the connotation of stylish and feminine-coded assertive self-confidence. time will tell if it sticks




I offer no agenda in reporting this,, thsi is merely a statement of observation of an ongoing development in our living language
also I would not recommend attempting use of it to nonprofessionals stateside (vocative use is still a little iffy)

That is more about straight people co-opting gay slang that has been around for as long as any of us here have been alive.

why did he have anti-ghost spray that doesn't work on ghosts

It does work on ghosts, ghost won’t touch anything coated in it. But the primary use is if you spray your eyeballs with it, you’re able to see ghosts.

Both applications are because the spray contains microscopic Menger Sponges, which traps ghost energy.

Yeah the plot is that the Japanese government, with international cooperation, is trying to build a really big Menger Sponge. They got the world’s greatest Menger Sponge expert to lead the program, but he only cares about them because of their ghost related properties. So he’s secretly using all the project’s resources on his ghost research.
