Peace Is Overrated Now Give Me The Secrets To Time Travel I Need To Invest In Google Before It Gets Big

Peace is overrated now give me the secrets to time travel I need to invest in google before it gets big

“If I had time travel I’d kill Hitler” “If I had time travel I’d stop my favourite politician getting assassinated” you’re all thinking way too small. If I had time travel I’d stop Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin from dying on the moon due to Soviet sabotage, kicking off the Great Nuclear War and devastating half of the planet.

This is facts

The Handmaid's Tale isn't really my cup of tea. Beloved was great but also not really my thing. But neither of these books should be banned for whatever arbitrary reasons people have come up with

"I don't want to read this" is totally valid.

"This is disgusting to me" is totally valid.

"I don't want to read this because it is disgusting to me" is totally valid.

"I don't think anyone should be allowed to read or write this because it is disgusting to me" is authoritarian.

I made a thing. I'm incredibly proud

Avatar the Last Airbender x Crazy Ex Girlfriend mashup

I think it's worth noting that as far as I know since Gordon is 14, the showrunners are actually not allowed to have him take part in sexual scenes. Like there are laws in place that they have to follow regarding what they are and aren't allowed to have him do for a scene. I remember reading about how when Sophie Turner was filming Game of Thrones there was certain stuff they couldn't do because she was underage. I doubt Netflix will go far as Game of Thrones with stuff like that but it's worth keeping in mind that there are things Netflix is not legally allowed to have the actors do (and rightly so)

I’m sorry, but the Netflix showrunner referring to Kataang as an “issue to tackle” in the future is some of the funniest shit I’ve ever read/heard.

Oh god that fucking Lion Turtle.

Seriously if there is one part of ATLA I hate more than any other it's energybending. It's such a fucking cop out and it's imo made worse by the fact that it wasn't even an issue that needed resolving to begin with. I mean Avatar is a kids show like you said. I was never expecting Aang to beat Ozai to death with his stick. Firebenders have been shown to have been locked up before. Why would this be any different? But then the show makes a big deal about the morality of killing this guy and hey I'm not opposed to a good ol' fashioned moral dilemma. It can make for some great character drama when everyone is telling Aang to make the hard call. Does Aang stick to his guns despite the risk or does he betray his culture and kill Ozai. That's interesting and definitely not something I'm opposed to. What I am opposed to is answering that question stupidly.

Energybending robs Aang of his agency in the choice to kill Ozai or not. It's no longer a difficult decision to betray everything Aang believes in for the sake of the world or to risk everything but stay true to what he believes is right. He just gets a free pass, an easy answer, which realistically isn't gonna solve the problem since Ozai's biggest strength is his political clout whether he's a bender or not. Just look at Napoleon. Man had a strong enough political influence that when he came back from an island not too far from France, he immediately came back to support from his allies. Ozai's continued breathing, bender or not, will cause problems for Zuko. The fact that this deus ex machina allows Aang to bypass a complex moral dilemma while also completely failing to solve anything will never not annoy and frustrate me. If there is one thing I hope the live action gets rid of (aside from Kataang the way is in the show) it's energybending

I honestly don't really like spiritual water as part of the plot in book 2.

This is an extremely obvious deus ex machina for the resurrection of Aang, which was introduced into the plot in an extremely ridiculous way. Seriously, saying that Aang could die while in the avatar state IN THE SAME EPISODE where you showed the resurrection holy water is extremely stupid. This very powerfully spoils the ending of the season, while destroying any sense of danger. Why should I worry about Aang if I know that Katara will resurrect him with some fancy water?

It would be better if this water didn't exist and only its healing abilities were in Katara’s hands. After Jet's death, we wouldn't know if the healing would work on Aang, since he could very well die. Maybe at that moment the full moon will rise, enhancing Katara's abilities, and she will save Aang by combining her powers and the spirit of the Moon. I mean, is it really necessary for this to have a deus ex machina that ruins the whole drama and provides clear guarantees of salvation? To be honest, this is just meh.

Beyond that, the obvious purpose of this dull water limits Katara as a healer. Famous question: Why didn't she use it when Jet died? At least they would introduce some restrictions for it, for example, that the healing properties of this water are revealed only during the full moon. And they say Katara couldn’t use it for a reason.

But it turns out that she forgot about this shit until the moment of plot necessity, which makes Jet's death mediocre.

There is another scene where this water is present: the dialogue between Zuko and Katara in the catacombs. And you know what's the funniest thing? If you cut out the information about spiritual water, the meaning of the conversation will not change at all:

- Maybe you could be free of it.

- What?

- I have healing abilities.

- It's a scar, it can't be healed.

- I don't know if it would work, but...

Actually, it got even better, because Katara needs to rely on her own strength to heal Zuko. And she wants to try not because she has magic water that she doesn’t know what to do with, but because she can at least try to help.

But the point isn't even that, but how smooth the dialogue remains if you cut out a fairly large piece of text from it.

This leads to my theory that this spiritual water was introduced after the script for the season was written. Like the authors didn’t know how to heal Aang at the end, so they introduced this stupidity at the beginning, and then in the scene in the catacombs, to remind the viewer that this shit even exists. Otherwise, I cannot explain why without this water what is happening becomes more logical
