@avclub-78b6e39336f2cc0745a2944f919541a4:disqus I can see why you think it's a cop out, but I think the show is fairly explicitly saying that Aang thinks his moral integrity is equally/more important which is why he does the energybending which might have the disastrous affect of corrupting him completely, but at…

@avclub-68c81a145181a6b3092221895a3fd1a9:disqus Korra v. Buffy is definitely a way better nerd question than Black Widow v. Slayer that's been circulating the internet today (though I love Whedon's response to the latter).

Isn't Marion Cotillard going to be in this movie?

It was the costumier in the wardrobe dept. with a scrunchie

Roc Kit I didn't even read your comment before I corrected the typo. I should have just left it and accepted my shame.

We can definitely (and should!) talk about this more next week, but since you brought it up, during my first viewing of the show, when I heard that Katara was going with Zuko to fight Azula I was so pissed because I wanted her to kickass and take names like the BAMF she is and I thought for sure this meant she would…

It's gone too far!

That clip is great. The choreography is so incredible this season, though my favourite part was the fire ferret at the end. I can't wait until he is introduced!

10 years dungeon!

I love her pouty offput face she makes when Sokka ssshs her during the Yue scene.

He got lei'd!

Now I want a Whedon reboot! I had never really made that connection before, but you are right on about how no one else besides the ATLA creators and Whedon can do this so well.

washington Actually, the advertising for this show is going to be much more focused on 18-24 year olds than any other Nick show. The kiddie advertising disconnect with the much older viewers of the show was one of the reasons ATLA was off the air so much and randomly at first.

And as usual I should check and see if people make the point I try to make (and do a better job of it) before I post. I completely agree with your understanding of the "protagonists" as deflating caricature, especially since Azula and Ozai are the only ones who are presented with any modicum of dignity (except Toph,…

I actually don't think the play within a play is breaking story structure that much if at all. When Azula "kills" the Avatar earlier it is also greeted with the same applause. Also, Azula and Fire Lord Ozai are the only two characters who aren't portrayed ridiculously.  It seems that the play is meant to denigrate the…

Your tone is rather pointed right now

Don't feel too bad, he has a giant's penis

Just in case you don't know, you don't have to wait until the next day to watch it online.

Appropriate given the subject matter, I guess
