Realizing other people have accounts specifically to obnoxiously gush about their fandom I’m so sorry yall I’m not made that way I’m signing my name to my crazy and simply inflicting it on all of you
I need someone to do the side by side comparison of ATLA vs NATLA versions of Aang reuniting with Appa in the same way I’ve seen movie vs tv show comparisons of Percy learning his mom died
Sokka, staring at the mechanized moon: I’m sorry Yue I wanted to save you I miss you so much
The Fox who led him to this room: ITS A CALENDAR, MY GUY, DISCOVER THE ECLIPSE
Sokka: 🥺
#natla
It’s very clear the #natla writers were focused on plot moments and not character moments, and that’s why there’s so many scenes with roots in the og while completely obliterating the original point or depth of such scenes
In episode 3 of #natla and it seems so far the writers looked at the cartoon and went “what if we took away all of Aang’s suffering and just gave even more to Zuko”
We cannot consider #AI to be morally neutral. In reality, every technical tool embodies choices and priorities through what it measures, ignores, and optimizes, and how it classifies people and situations. Ethical discernment cannot be limited to asking whether we are using a system for good or bad purposes. It must also examine how that system is designed and what vision of the human person and society is embedded in the data and models that guide it. #MagnificaHumanitas
