Which weather lock screen app is that?

Curious... what kind of creationist are you? You obviously object to being grouped with Ken Ham so I'm wondering what sort of grouping you don't object to?

The aether was neither scientific theory nor widely accepted. It was one of those easy explanations used because we didn't have anything else (often known as a hypothesis), and the second it was testable/tested, it was promptly thrown out the window. That's a very terrible example. A theory must have survived numerous…

White Imperialism is a massive, massive reach there. A lot of the people that exhibit these fallacies are white and live in western democracies. A lot of developing nations are far more likely to accept scientific methods (especially when those are directly related to their pace of development) than the stodgy…

"7. Withholding of consent

The Slippery Slope fallacy is very often used in conjunction with the Parade of Horrors; it's very rare that someone is bringing up slippery slopes without thinking of all the terrible terrible (won't someone think of the children!) things that will happen at the bottom of the hill. That's a nice way to tell it apart…

You have a point but Germany suffered crushing defeat on home turf. The majority of Kuvira's army is still unharmed; they pretty much ran through Republic City and only had to fight Team Avatar. It would be foolish to assume that the Earth Kingdom does not have schematics of her super-weapon, if not backup versions…

Well it was a terrible simplistic ending in Return of the Jedi, glossed over because the world was still reeling from the mere existence of Star Wars.

I suppose she had some kind of epiphany. She seemed to believe a lot in her own power (come to think of it the only person that's acknowledged how special the Avatar actually is is Zaheer), and seeing what the Avatar could unleash obviously stunned her.

That's actually a very good point. But the person ruling the Earth Kingdom is still an internal affair, and I doubt the other nations would want to get involved with that (nor would Earth Kingdom citizens approve; that was what led to Kuvira in the first place). I've seen military regimes in real life (my country has…

It's one thing to surrender because you have no other options, it's quite another to surrender because you see the error of your ways. Ozai would never have seen the error of his ways and any surrender he offered would have been buying time.

Favourite bits from the finale: Soap Opera Zhu Li, and Wu the badgermole whisperer.

Interesting, though I think you're more likely to kill the person than bend their blood. It's not like moving the iron would move the blood. Unlike water which supports the blood cells, iron is in them. Moving the iron could just rupture the cells, leading to internal bleeding and killing the individual. And that is a…

Good points. I just feel we would benefit from an inside look into Kuvira's mind, or at least some backstory as told by someone very close (Su's "She used to be my protégé" doesn't really count). All the other bad guys got this, except the Fire Lord and that was just because he was described as the very incarnate of…

I think the best answer I've seen so far is that the United Republic is actually made from former Earth Kingdom territory colonised by the Fire Nation. Going with her grand reunification strategy it only seems logical that she would seek to annex the oldest part of the Earth Kingdom that still isn't within her grasp.…

I'm really feeling the contrast between the Baatars. Both men play second fiddle to really powerful women, and I think Baatar Jr. realised this with regards to his father which is why he wanted to get out from under Mummy's shadow. Unfortunately the only person that offered him that out was another woman, and this…

You're right! Republic City and the United Republic are all made from Fire Nation colonies in the Earth Kingdom. Even the Earth Queen remarked that she didn't like that. I suppose Kuvira wants to get every last ounce of classic Earth Kingdom territory back, or at least that's the reason she'll give for the attack.

I suppose. The Su Yin thing I definitely agree with, and I think that's what's motivating Bataar Jr. as well. He seems all to eager to show his family that he's the one making the right choices not them. And he gets waaay to angry when things don't go the way he likes.

I don't know much about Putin, but I don't think they're similar at all. For one I don't think Kuvira would countenance any kind of economic corruption in her new found empire, but I suppose that's just me still assuming she's supposed to be a good guy that's made a wrong turn somewhere.

Yeah but it'd be nice to see her thought process get warped from "things work better when they're ordered" to "my way all the time!". It just looks like the made she jump from good guy to totalitarian in 5 seconds, making it hard to believe that she was ever a good guy. Some back story on this villain would be nice.…
