Yup, my heels were my jerk repellent.
If a guy was confident enough to hit on me when I was over six feet tall, and didn't pull any negging BS he'd get a first date.

I'm a tall woman married to a short man. It not only doesn't matter, it's a plus.
Short men hit on me and treated me like an attractive woman, men my size tend to treat me like one of the guys, It's nice professionally, but socially, not so much.

Skin color and genetics is tricky and highly variable.
It is very possible for a dark Black person to have a one white and one mixed (dark) parent, and then marry a white person and have white babies.
True Story.

Thanks for the recommendations! Enjoying them now.

With anyone else, this would be a valid excuse. With Cyrus? No.

Every time Fitz grabs Olivia and she says no then does her wide-eyed rodent trapped by a snake stare while passively letting him undress her, I think "Why am I watching a something out of an old school bodice-ripper?

Love Diggle, hate how little he gets to do on the show.

Screw Laurel's journey to Black Canary.
Plenty of people are defending it as cannon, but the show has already shown it's willingness to diverge from the comics if it makes for a better story.

Older people tend towards either:
Formality if they are still engaged in the world and expect to be respected/catered to
or
Eccentricity if they no longer give a flip about the world and expect to do what ever pleases them without interference.

Everything's new to a two year old, so Wonder Pets will live with Dora in perpetual hipness.
Thanks to streaming services my 6 year old's favorite show is Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends.

This season needed 22 episodes, 13 was not enough with this many strong characters/story lines.

I think the writers agree with you.

Yeah, the whole idea that snarking at something is a valid statement in itself is a problem.
Pointing out flaws is only helpful when you are working towards solutions.

Eh, they're teenagers. Date all your friends is pretty standard behavior. Katara had major chemistry with Zuko, and he was a lifelong friend to her and Aang.
The way they handled Korra/Mako/Asami feels true to me.
My problem was that it wasn't compelling enough to fill the screen time it got, If they had handled those

Su Yin's too much of an idealist. Metal City is a work of art, precise and exactly as she designed it.
The Earth Kingdom is a mess, Su Yin would get bogged down in small details trying to make things perfect while people died of cholera from lack of fresh water.

You got your wish.

I'm frustrated by this too, it bothers me. But if I'm honest I don't have those answers either.
These shows are (supposedly) written for children with child protagonists.
Perhaps it is a bit much to expect Korra or the writers to have a solution to problems that people have been stymied by for most of human history
It

Agreed.
I was excited at the begining of S1 when it seemed like they were setting up Amon/Equalists to be a complex multi-season exploration of what rights the pawns in the background of the Benders political machinations had.
It reminded me of Sherri S Tepper's handling of a very similar set-up in her books of The

If S4 doesn't develop this relationship I will feel betrayed. They click together, it's beautiful and unforced.
They are at the age where it would be just as believable for it to be a deep friendship of the 'sister from another mother' kind or the slow realization of a powerful romantic chemistry.
I'm fine with

Bumi did an excellent job holding Ghazan's attention, and if he had started with hand-to-hand combat while he was still fresh, he might have pulled off a victory. He's agile, resourceful, and makes intuitive leaps that catch people off guard.
