Here's a point that sticks out from me from all this:

"The Original Avatar was only able to bend all 4 elements because he practiced - given the time, I'm sure Varick would have been able to as well."

I loved the last 4 episodes!

An Old Classic

But can he run Crysis?

You really like to use the word nerd don't you? Smells of serious self acceptance problems.

Oh, look at the little hipster troll begging for attention! Awwww, how cute!

Did you even watch the movie. Their were a few scenes in broad daylight. The opening scene had one when the Kaiju attacks San Francisco and one in Australia as well when you see the Australian Jaeger kick butt.

I won't argue about the script, but it seems you forgot that sometimes you just want to sit back and enjoy…

Man, I'm just a big dumb idiot that saw this movie three times and really loved it but I guess I was just deluding myself into thinking I was having fun. Good thing there are superior human beings such as yourself that can tell me what I should and should not enjoy, thanks.

I really want a sequel!

Can't wait to have this on DVD!

What everybody copies: Affirmation that anything that anyone does, no matter how abhorrent, is in the end forgiven - all the perpetrator has to do is ask for it. Lots of stuff justifying the hatred and persecution of those different from the reader which is disengenuously used to maintain an "Us vs them" siege…

It's not that magic needs to be logical, it's just that it needs to be consistent. Unrestricted magic is boring and often tends to lead to plot holes, continuity errors, and deus ex machina. Having no consistency in the rules of a setting can ruin a story.

Eh. Killing off characters is just as cliche nowadays, esp. in SF/F. I'm surprised when people survive any more.

One of the things I like is to see a trope put out there and then spun a new way.
