in m. night’s movie they replaced actual Chinese characters that were readily available and shown in literally every single episode with gibberish nonsense that is also high key ugly
They weren’t just inaccurate to the show, they went out of their WAY to be as inaccurate in general as possible. Dammit, M. Night.
to be totally fair, I think a lot of that shit wasn’t his fault, but from what studio execs kept making him do until the point he finally just fucking gave up and clearly just sat back, tuned everything out, and started picking up a check
for one thing, Nicola Peltz 100% got the role because of nepotism and bypassed the audition process that everyone else had to go through, like Sokka, Aang, and Zuko’s actors had to go through
Interviews and post mortems have pointed out that shyamalan is basically the only one in the staff that actually saw the show, as it was his kids’ favorite show, so basically shyamalan is why the movie is as accurate as it is
Biggest twist in Shyamalan’s career: He was the only one that wanted the Avatar movie to succeed
i usually hate true crime documetary type things bc theyre all “lets get into the MIND of the serial killer…. tortured soul” or whatever but i like the buzzfeed unsolved stuff bc theyre just like “what a freak lmao”
tfw fans treat you as dumb comedy relief and ignore the fact that you work three jobs, know at least 2 languages, have a 5/5 in intelligence and a devastating quirk that could topple cityscapes:
Story concept of the day: a sentient AI falls in love with a minimum wage retail worker from the tech company’s gift shop and decides the best way to make her happy is to fix society.
HEAVY shenanigans as the AI’s plans range from “reprogram the automated pay roll to give everyone a raise” to “expose everyone involved in government corruption who has ever touched a cell phone”
The catalyst to all of this is a day where the AI was being updated and it caused glitches in the whole system, including the registers in the gift shop.
The human woman really is just a pretty regular person, but she has a good chunk of hyper empathy and does that thing where you talk to computers when they aren’t doing what they’re supposed to.
Without even knowing there WAS an AI she spent the day muttering encouragement to the computer like it was a person and the AI ADORES her now.
How mundane the AI’s motivation is forms the basis for how unstoppable it is and the intensity of the chaos it caused. There’s no grand morality involved— it’s just affection for someone who treated you kindly and the desire to ease their suffering.
