love myself a cockroach of a character. i look at them and go ”how is that fucker not dead? they should be dead. they should be dead ten times over. how are they not?” and 90% of the time the answer is a combo of sheer stubborness and homosexuality

Just finished watching Legend of Korra Season 1 for the first time.
Not as bad as I thought it was going to be.
Aang's grandchildren (minus Jinora(?) are some of the most obnoxious children on television. Right up there with Caillou and Peppa Pig.
This is NOT a children's show. Not even a little. Nope. The way Tarrlok and Ammon went out? Nah, son.
Speaking of Ammon, are we...gonna get some real explanation as to why he can just take away people's bending? My boyfriend tried to say it was related to bloodbending. What? Idgi...
These love dodecagons are just exhausting. I'm exhausted of them. Pseudo-Sokka having a thing for Pseudo-Avatar-Katara and then her having a thing for Pseudo-Zuko and him making googly-eyes at this Pseudo-Jun-Jin Hybrid all in one season - it's tew much. Can't just let things breathe, huh? Even teenagers can control their horny sometimes.
GENERAL IROH EXCUSE ME WHILE I TEAR UP
The one criticism video essay I watched was right - these characters and the culture look/feel very much more white/USA than they did in ATLA. Things that make you go hmm...
I would've liked to see nonbender concerns addressed more in this. I think at some point Korra asks why they'd hate them and obvs if Ammon built a strong enough base, there must be a problem. Would've liked to see the council or whatever try to do something to bring their concerns in more and try to reach out instead of just trying to make us sympathize with the benders with no thought to why nonbenders might feel like they want to turn to Ammon.
I don't really like how she finally reached the Avatar state but...fine.
Naga is That Bitch.

my partner has about 3 genres of youtube video they watch, so I've decided to combine them all into what would be their Ideal Video

its really wild how many movies and tv shows are just like, obscenely skinny. how many casts are representative of the average population, if you sampled a crowd in a normal store or on a train? how many actually “average” bodies do you see on screen? how often are the stomachs shown flat or concave, how often are the thighs all muscle no fat, how often are the jawlines and cheekbones totally sharp and not covered by even a hint of softness? its bizarre and offputting whenever you start looking at media with that in mind

reading and watching “classic” books and films is such an interesting experience because, before you get into them, when you only know them by name and maybe the vaguest plot outline, they’re intimidating and stuffy and up on a pedestal, but then you finally take the leap and check them out and realize that almost every story that’s achieved such a legendary level of popularity did so because something in its emotional core reached out and grabbed a lot of people by the throat and you are NOT immune.
