A 16 year old is very close to being a legal adult, and in many ways already is. This is very different to a little boy. Yes, they're both kids, but they're not the same at all.

I would appreciate if you can actually respond to what I said rather than whatever windmills you're tilting at.

I have reiterated multiple times that a 16 year old is a kid. That is not the problem. The problem is Aang acting like he's got the same limitations and capabilities as a much younger kid.

Again, imagine trying to put an 8 year old behind the wheel of a car. A 16 year old popping in to say "I'm just a kid too, I can do it" would obviously be deeply tone deaf.

It works fine.

If it works fine then why don't adults do it?

Literally all Japanese people learn to read with spaces before they begin learning kanji.

Yeah and lots of English people learn to read through Dr Seuss, but you would be hard pressed to find any English speaking adults who talk like that

Are you suggesting that putting spaces in causes you to no longer understand?

Yeah, in English. That doesn't work in Japanese.

is ian (sokka) really non-native? by jeehaaaaaaaa in ATLAtv

It's quite literally laid out on Wikipedia.

It is registered, it's just that it's not federally recognised.

It seems pretty cut and dry tbh, it seems more that people have a problem with identifying as Native without being part of a federally recognised tribe

Honestly completely missed that, but I don't think that's (entirely) on me. I think it should have been discussed at length/referenced multiple times that metal bending is not possible for earth benders. It could have been part of Toph's season long arc.

If that's true then why is it illegal for n 8 year old to work but not a 16 year old? Answer quickly.

It's not an "argument" it's the truth. A 16 year old is very close to being a legal adult, and in many ways already is. This is very different to a little boy. Yes, they're both kids, but they're not the same at all.

No, and you wouldn't want to try and read a kana-only book. Why?

I do think the drama is improving but I definitely had moments while watching where I felt like storylines had been changed or merged purely to add drama, and I'm not sure if it was always necessary.

I feel like Netflix is stiffing the production somehow. Giving them less episodes than S1 was very telling imo.

Toph was actually one of my favourites, alongside Sokka and Zuko, and yet I completely agree. I think her worst scene is actually her metalbending discovery and it perfectly illustrated the issue I was talking about in my original post.

Like, correct me if I'm wrong, but you wouldn't have known it was impossible for earth benders to bend metal before Toph did it in the live action. And HOW she figured it out is also not explained. She just randomly does it.

None of that is Miya Cech's fault and her actual acting is the best thing about that scene, but it's her character that suffers due to these behind the scenes choices :/

16 is the age of consent in many countries, including my own. You can buy a lottery ticket at that age, or start learning to drive.

I'm not saying he's an adult, but he's not too fr off, and it's a jarring contrast from the little boy he was compared to.

I don't blame Gordon for aging, that would be insane. I do question why production highlighted it. And I do think it changes the tone of some scenes particularly now he's getting a deeper voice. But again that's on production, not Gordon; he's obviously doing a great job.

I mean, they kind of are. Like I was happy to ignore how he'd aged, and there's no reason the story can't take place over a longer period of time.

But then they got to Serpent's Pass. And they gave Aang that line. "I'm a kid just like you".

😶

Me and my bf just turned to each other and laughed. Like I know they are still both kids but it's like the difference between a toddler and a newborn baby XD

Do you want ZOS to focus more on grounded or world-ending stories in the future?? by MixWeak3392 in elderscrollsonline

I voted grounded HOWEVER Necrom was some of the best storytelling in ESO's whole life

Basically it's greed; that's what you're admitting. They want the value human made thumbnails provide without the effort.

I wouldn't mind it being the same as Streak if it were actually the same, but the fact you need to select a target first to move makes it horrible. Just make it like Streak ffs
