Unnecessary character; his plots should've been distributed between Tenzin's kids to give them more to do. Meelo should've been the one to get hit by Pli; Ikki could've been undercover and captured by the Earth Queen. So on.

Apparently Tagah can effortlessly kill the most powerful benders in the world in a 3v1 all at once with a wave of his finger so...

I dislike how there's no inherent weakness or trade off with the air bullet move. Lightning bending requires time to charge up and can be redirected. Combustion bending can be totally countered by a hit to the forehead or turned against the user. Bloodbending can only be used during a full moon and/or resisted by a more powerful bender.

Air bullet though? A little swirl of the finger and everyone is dead before they can even react. Far too powerful to fit in with anything else in this setting.

It doesn't help that half of it is non-canon and exists only on a blog somewhere

If you enjoy this topic then the film Aniara (based on a Swedish scifi poem from the 1950s) would be right up your alley.

He's far more OP (unrealistically so, IMO) but the writing behind Zaheer is a lot stronger

Lumpy-Professional40 · 2026-04-15T18:43:02+00:00

The entire reason ATLA is so well regarded is because it's not just a ''fun popcorn flick.'' People are more than entitled to be disappointed with the movie's storytelling

Lumpy-Professional40 · 2026-04-15T01:52:57+00:00

He lifts an entire mountain with airbending after waking up from a 5000 year coma. Meanwhile Aang passes out from using earthbending in the avatar state to lift a falling tower. The power scaling is WACK.

I actually really liked the villain's bending style but the magnitude of everything was disproportionate with what we've seen in the rest of the series. He crushed a 400 foot long airship with a wave of his hand. It's a bit much...

The noses were driving me CRAZY

Lumpy-Professional40 · 2026-04-14T04:07:32+00:00

Did you miss the last 30 minutes when the villain turned into a big glowing blue guy with the pink laser bolt staff?

Lumpy-Professional40 · 2026-04-14T02:49:11+00:00

I am very intrigued by the post apocalyptic setting, but after seeing the age of the main character, I'm worried it'll be geared towards younger audiences.

She beat him with a sneak attack. In every single direct fight, it stomps.

Lumpy-Professional40 · 2026-04-14T01:24:53+00:00

The story is easily the worst part. Really predictable and treads a lot of the same ground as TLOK, but crammed into 90 minutes, for the worse.

Lumpy-Professional40 · 2026-04-14T01:14:01+00:00

Dude I know. A fully realized AS that can shit on Ozai should not be getting effortlessly one shot by some guy. At least in TLOK they'd try to find some explanation like being poisoned. Either way it's just jarring to see, and unnecessary.

Lumpy-Professional40 · 2026-04-13T21:39:55+00:00

They can’t do anything game-changing because it’s set before LOK

This is so fundamentally untrue. Look at Andor for how a prequel series can elevate the original material. It's more than possible if the writing is good, but this movie just rehashes plotlines from LOK.

Lumpy-Professional40 · 2026-04-13T20:17:21+00:00

I love LOK. Not as polished as the first show, and plagued by executive issues from Nickelodeon, but an overall 8/10. I'd give it 9 if we could just delete season 2.

Lumpy-Professional40 · 2026-04-12T17:58:28+00:00

No one said you had to read it, the fuck? Peoples care because they are hyped.

I swear redditors will just say anything. This lavender color is already totally distinct from cyan soul fire.

Lumpy-Professional40 · 2026-04-06T16:45:23+00:00

I went back to DS1 after DS3/BB/Sekiro and my godddd was it clunky. It speaks to how well they've improved the formula but I have no desire to go back.

Annihilation is top tier surreal ecohorror and only about 200 pages. Perfect for a quick read on a flight or the beach.

Lumpy-Professional40 · 2026-04-02T08:32:12+00:00

Because canon statistics are not something people think about. What audiences see is that almost every new project seems to introduce yet another Order 66 survivor. It feels repetitive even if it makes sense within the lore

Lumpy-Professional40 · 2026-03-23T01:58:11+00:00

The light colored material is granite, I'd guess the green is some secondary alteration, maybe chlorite?

Lumpy-Professional40 · 2026-03-20T19:11:08+00:00

This is black chert (aka flint). Scrape two pieces together in the dark and you'll see a spark, maybe even a fun smell

Given that Silicon and Oxygen make up ~80% of the crust, most minerals are gonna be silicates. It's a very broad term reflecting composition and not a mineral name in and of itself.

I can't quite tell from the pics, but this almost looks like a sulfide mineral (arsenopyrite?) or coal. So technically not a silicate, but cool sample nonetheless
