Im dying why is the atla live actions series SO BAD.
Not Katara responding to Aang having a literal mental breakdown because he just found out his whole people were GENOCIDED by telling him that it will make him stronger??? Don't know if right now is a good time for a spin, Katara. People are dead, Katara.
Like in the original show, the moment when Aang realizes his people are gone is treated as a moment of true horror and sorrow. If I am remembering right, the episode ends on a silent and solemn note as Katara and Sokka (two people are victims of an albeit much slower genocide) comfort Aang in his moment of grief. It isnt until Book II that we re-address the genocide of the original Air Nomads in a less sorrowful light (I wouldn't even say its positive, its a balanced mindset) in which Guru Pathik suggests that the love Aang had for his people can be redirected and reborn in a love for his friends, for Katara and the for the current world.
Can you imagine if right after finding the skeletal remains of his father figure, Aang had a cry, Katara, instead of comforting her friend by silently acknowledging his pain and grief, tells him he is gonna see sooooo many gains from his loss so its basically a win. and then, Aang just nods resolutely and is like, "yeah!!! Ur right Katara!!! My people's sacrifice can't go to waste! I'm gonna save the world!!!"
You know...like a child who just realized not just his entire family has been systematically and brutally murdered but also the entire population of their whole town would say!
Like...I don't mind changes. Any adaptation will have changes. But...I take issue with just...extremely bad writing that has characters behave in a way that no human would.
They just dont wanna put in the time or effort to create something good and want to make a quick buck off of nostalgia.

genuinely fascinated to learn that before jamie braddock became an unhinged reality warping supervillain there was a whole section of captain britain comics where he was brian and betsy's pretty much normal older brother who was a professional race car driver

New Things to Beware on the Internet
On May 3rd, Google released 8 new top-level domains (TLDs) -- these are new values like .com, .org, .biz, domain names. These new TLDs were made available for public registration via any domain registrar on May 10th.
Usually, this should be a cool info, move on with your life and largely ignore it moment.
Except a couple of these new domain names are common file type extensions: ".zip" and ".mov".
This means typing out a file name could resolve into a link that takes you to one of these new URLs, whether it's in an email, on your tumblr blog post, a tweet, or in file explorer on your desktop.
What was previously plain text could now resolve as link and go to a malicious website where people are expecting to go to a file and therefore download malware without realizing it.
Folk monitoring these new domain registrations are already seeing some clearly malicious actors registering and setting this up. Some are squatting the domain names trying to point out what a bad idea this was. Some already trying to steal your login in credentials and personal info.
This is what we're seeing only 12 days into the domains being available. Only 5 days being publicly available.
What can you do? For now, be very careful where you type in .zip or .mov, watch what website URLs you're on, don't enable automatic downloads, be very careful when visiting any site on these new domains, and do not type in file names without spaces or other interrupters.
I'm seeing security officers for companies talking about wholesale blocking .zip and .mov domains from within the company's internet, and that's probably wise.
Be cautious out there.

"why should I get invested in shows if they'll just get canceled" I was deeply invested in Heroes (2006) and it was not canceled, it just got really terrible. I also got really invested in the sandwich I had a few weeks ago despite it only lasting like 15 minutes. You must embrace the ephemeral. You must be willing to love things that may not love you back, that might betray you, or that may die an untimely death. As the great philosopher Mr. Mitchell Lee Hedberg said "I'm not gonna stop doing something because of what happens at the end."
