I could just see 2004 Newgrounds.

It was a fun movie, but god damn.

Also imagine getting paid to be thrown down the stairs for a movie.

I hate how Amon is given a sympathetic backstory that gets no exploration at all. He's supposedly orphaned by benders who his parents couldn't fight.

That's legit what happens to Katara before the start of TLA. But instead of exploring that trauma, the story focuses on what it feels like to bend and how losing that is a profound loss.

It could've been a cool exploration on the themes of powerlessness and coping with that, but instead it's just that benders are just better and if you don't bend then you need to get out of the way.

In stories, it's easy to assume you'd be a character with powers or knowledge, but the reality is more likely to be you're the one on the outside of power in these fictional settings

Target, MasterCard, power tools, and everything else. I knew a lot of these companies were in bed with each other, but it's a disturbing thought to consider Target as part of the MCU canon.

The set up is that somebody is making one of these things and they were so delicate that any noise above a whisper could deflate them, ruining them. Then the punchline is when someone or something makes a loud noise and the souffle collapses as predicted.

It feels like such a relic these days. They don't do the gag anymore and I wonder what that said about pop culture at the time.

Has that joke come up again in recent years or am I that detached from TV?

What are some other jokes that seemingly vanished?
