Completely random but
While I was reading about the ATLA LA creators butchering Sokka's character arc and the Kyoshi Warriors' plot it suddenly hit me
In 2x05 "Avatar's Day" Aang wears full Avatar Kyoshi gear at his trial that Sokka and Katara brought from the Kyoshi island including accurately done makeup
They didn't bring the sensei and Aang couldn't go with them as he was imprisoned, obviously
There's exactly one person in the team who spend the most time with the Kyoshi Warriors
Sokka wore AND learned how to do the Kyoshi makeup, and used his new skill to help Aang months later
And by omitting this "unnecessary" tidbit of him being introduced to the Kyoshi outfit in S1 the LA creators caused a plothole way farther down the line
(unless they're planning on removing the Avatar's Day plot altogether, which is quite big on worldbuilding, should I say)
Like, the og show plot is very condensed while not appearing to be as such, that is until one tries to get rid of the "extra" "not-needed" scenes and nothing makes sense anymore.

people don’t talk about hilda (from the netflix show) enough and how absolutely insane she is. and by that i mean how she takes the Traditional Hero trope to the absolute extremes. she is filled with overwhelming whimsy; adventure is drawn to her like a goddamn magnet and absolutely NO ONE can stop her from pursuing it. and if they even try to get in her way then fuck them. this kid’s normal tuesday means possibly dying multiple times and fighting The Horrors. everyone around her is concerned for her and the unstoppable magical girl powers that she wields but she absolutely WILL be a little shit about it because she was pulled from her whimsical littol cottage in the woods where she played with trolls and forced to move to fucking Normal Non-Magic Town. turns out going to Normal Town is only a minor setback and soon she’s back on the befriending magical creatures (a GIANT TALKING RAVEN) grind. she’s so Magical Girl Protagonist that even her own mother is terrified for her.
put simply: hilda subverts the magical girl trope in such a way that makes her a threat to normal society. and i love her for that

12 Silence facts YOU may not know about!
1) Her full name was meant to be "Olivia Hermer" (赫默 "hèmò" in chinese), and her codename was "Silent". But due to inconsistencies, she became Olivia Silence outside of the chinese version, where she is named Hermer. This can be seen in the official artbook.
2) She is able to shapeshift her arms into wings, as confirmed by her designer, NoriZC. This can be seen in the artbook, but also in her Lacquer and Frosted Breath skins.
3) Silence used to be able to summon three drones rather than one. Their range were also different, being 4x3 rather than 3x3.
4) Her earlier design shows her without an infection monitor, and without infection at all.
5) The symbol of Rhine Lab was supposed to be ressembling of an owl, surely in reference to Silence, who might have been supposed to play a bigger role.
6) She is one of the very few characters to have a base animation on her default skin.
7) On her default skin, when used in battle, her plumicorns (the tufts on her head) become longer. This is something that has been changed on her skins, where they are the same size in both the base and battle sprites.
8) She is often shown winking on official art, especially on NoriZC's art. This is a reference to how owls blink one eye at a time to keep their vision when blinking.
9) Silence the Paradigmatic hasn't been illustrated by NoriZC's, her creator, but by Juri Jiuhao.
10) It appears that she used to have telekinesis Arts in the earliest versions, but it has never been shown again.
11) Her illustrator, NoriZC, has designed a Fakemon version of her, as well as Saria and Ifrit, where she is a Plant/Flying Pokemon.
12) pizza
