First off, I'm happy to answer any question for someone whose handle is a reference to the great-but-forgotten Sheep in the Big City.

I went to a screening of the finale, followed by a Q&A with Sorkin, last Monday. Everyone in the theater got the excited kind of quiet as the lights faded out and the opening credits started. And then that title flashed on the screen:

Yes, I'm aware. I was just being flippant.

Except I don't think you're looking at it from her perspective. Kuvira's shown demonstrable and genuine love for Bataar Jr. across this whole season, which to me means that her decision to blast him now was, in her own eyes, self-sacrificing. She was giving up the man she loved to ensure the fulfillment of her promise…

That's my pet theory at the moment. Or maybe even redirecting it, like firebenders can do with lightning.

That said, we really need an Avatar with a killer instinct. Roku didn't kill Sozin when he should've, and the Airbenders went extinct for his mercy. Aang didn't kill Yakone, and that led to Amon. Korra could stand to take after Kyoshi.

One thing that struck me about Kuvira's choice at the end of this episode was that it neatly turned gender expectations on their head. So often in stories, women are expected to give up their ambitions and desires for the sake of keeping a man, while men are expected to do precisely the opposite. Here, Kuvira does…

Sorry, but "listening to the man" isn't synonymous with agreeing with him. I did listen to him, and as a fan of his wanted very much to be proven wrong. But I ultimately found his defense wanting, and lacking in perspective. My commentary was added later, after I'd had time to reflect on what I'd heard.

Thanks, internet-dad!

There's a great bit in Runaways volume 2 where he meets the kids, and Chase asks him why he doesn't go back to "that sweet black costume you had when I was in grade school." It triggers a nice "Oh god, I'm old" moment from Spidey.

Is it too late to abort you?

Agreed. This book, Runaways, and Young Avengers have all approached the older generations of heroes that way, and to great effect in my opinion. Spider-Man's an interesting case in particular; he likes to think of himself as youthful, so it's always funny to throw him in with actual young people and see him realize…

Much as I regret the fact that the term "millennial" has gained real traction to describe my generation, I'm glad Wilson's the latest to defend us against our self-serving forebears. We just need to hang on for a few decades more, and then it'll finally be our turn to make this planet FUBAR.

While I think ATLA will end up standing more cohesively as a whole, I think Korra, Book Three is easily the single best season of either show.

I could be pleasantly surprised, but I have a sinking feeling that neither Arrow, Gravity Falls, or Korra is going to be in the top ten, which is a shame since they all richly deserved spots on this list (not necessarily in the top ten…well, maybe Korra).

No, the audience went easy on him. It's honestly not unexpected; this is a Writers Guild event we're talking about here, and most of the people in the room were TV writers or aspiring ones. It's a small industry, and people talk, so no one wanted to make enemies of one of the most powerful men in Hollywood.

Alright. Here are the notes I took last night while he was speaking. It's mostly as-is, but I took out stuff that had spoilers about the finale. I also added commentary in a few spots:

"Mr. Sorkin, in the future, if you're wondering: 'I believe I'm morally obligated' is when I decided to kick your ass."

I think he'd freeze up once he realized there wasn't a way to answer that question with a Gilbert & Sullivan quote.

In a move that Sorkin would probably consider a sign of my generation's idiocy, I've programmed a reminder into my phone to do precisely that.
