What do you think about this?

Good logo, excited for Kadokawa to triumphantly upload Gamera vs. Zigra to their YouTube channel as the culmination of this project.

I know the movie is bad and expresses a complete lack of understanding or care for its source material, but "Mr. Peanut surrenders to President Bill Clinton" is such a fantastic sentence it's almost worth this movie's absurd budget.

Mr. Peanut surrenders to President Bill Clinton on behalf of the Robot Equality Coalition in The Electric State's most gloriously stupid moment.

You can tell that Laios has an accent. His letters are more squishy and soft and Marcille's are more angular. He pronounces a ㅁ like it's an ㅇ.

i keep seeing the argument that katara saving zuko in the final agni kai means nothing because her character arc was completed in the crossroads of destiny, which makes no sense because it's incredibly clear that the ending of CoD is not framed as a triumphant moment by the narrative.

aang's death is the show's darkest moment, and the scene where katara catches and escapes with him only reinforces this hopelessness and despair. she is outnumbered, outclassed and outmaneouvred, saved only by iroh's intervention, and most crucially, the moment where katara revives aang hinges entirely on her spirit water and has little to do with katara herself or her own abilities. even the slight hope that surfaces with aang's survival is immediately undercut by the bleak reminder that ba sing se has fallen to emphasise that this is a retreat, not a victory. all they can salvage from the brink of catastrophe is the chance to live and fight another day, cold comfort in the face of losing the last, greatest stronghold against the fire nation.

take by contrast the final agni kai. the fight with azula highlights every one of katara's strengths as well as her growth and talent as a waterbender: her ability to evade and trick azula displays her intelligence; her use of the materials at hand (the chain and drain) reveals her resourcefulness; her final combat move demonstrates her ingenuity and proves that she has taken to heart the show's most important lesson of learning and drawing wisdom from even the unlikeliest of places.

the emotional crux of both fights is anchored in katara's apparent helplessness and fear (hence the near-identical shots of her horrified face as she watches aang and zuko get struck by lightning), but the difference is that the resolution of the final agni kai is contingent on katara and katara alone. this time, there is no magic water, no allies, no one to turn to for help, only a merciless, prodigious enemy at the apex of her power... and yet, it's katara who proves victorious.

where aang's death and resurrection are an actualization of katara's deepest fears - that by herself she is not strong or brave or skilled enough to protect those she loves, no matter how hard she tries - defeating azula and healing zuko serve as a repudiation of those very same fears, bringing her full circle from the scared little girl who could do nothing to save her mother.

the crossroads of destiny and the final agni kai are intentionally mirrored narratives, most obviously exemplified in the katara-zuko-azula triangulation and the polarity of their respective arcs; thus, where katara could once save aang only with a miracle, she now saves zuko with nothing but her own skill - and in so doing, brings her arc of empowerment to its triumphant completion.

OMG just had a crazy thought:

one of zuko’s hobbies is fucking creating stained glass art pieces.

zuko is supposed to be in a meeting but instead of doing his literal job he’s in his little art room creating the next modern masterpiece.

(he gifts each of his loved ones with an art piece including a particularly beautiful one of the southern water tribe for his wife)

Help Me Find This/These Fic/s

I'm trying to find a ZK fic, or maybe it's two Zutara fics my brain stitched together (the more I think about it the more I think this is the case) but:

[Probably fic 1] Katara lives in the same apartment building as Sokka & Suki, and since the building had balconies she would use them to climb over to their apartment. But one day she accidentally miscounts the balconies, and intrudes on Zuko, who just moved in. I think she wanted eggs to bake something. It's awkward but they laugh it off.

[Probably fic 2] Sometime after this, Katara had wanted to paint her apartment, but Sokka and Aang, who were supposed to help her, ditched. As a result, Zuko picks up the slack, and they have a bonding moment and I think they kiss.
