There was a lot I liked about this. Princess Yue is much more self-determining. I liked them making her a water bender and being able to visit the spirit world, and it makes a lot of sense with the lore. My girlfriend was pretty mad that they had a woman tell Katara that women don't fight up there. But to me that has a lot more subtlely comparable to how this stuff works in the real world. Old gender roles aren't just a bunch of men forcing women not to do stuff and ignoring their will. Most women ASPIRED to those old roles, and pushed other women to do the same. Our narratives have just gotten insanely skewed about it over the years. The problem wasn't whether women wanted to do these things. It was that they didn't have many other options. And clear outliers were stuck. I liked how when Katara was mad about this, she ranted to Sokka about it, and he immediately was her biggest advocate. Basically "forget that guy and go kick his ass". That was great. Though it would have been slightly better if we saw at least a bit of sexism on Kyoshi island from him. Because that was his S1 arc. Iroh and Zuko are amazing as always. There's nothing much to say. The more I watch them, they more they are Iroh and Zuko.

2024-03-23 04:49:35 +0000 UTCYeah, or at least it's hard to do accurately. Though we have gotten really good at fast approximations. In engineering, we learn the Navier-Stokes equations, which describe fluid dynamics. They are essentially unsolvable by hand, so you use approximations that a computer can solve. That's its own field of study. One of my professors had a PhD in Computational Fluid Dynamics. For this, I'd imagine the artists would use an existing simulation engine, though. To me, based on the speed of the sliding moves, the main limitation is that they are probably using The Volume, so space is limited and they can't do large, quick movements.

2024-03-22 14:38:50 +0000 UTCAbout the waterbending... It's incredibly difficult to model the complexity of moving water on video/film. That's also true in the real world. Apparently, it's one of the hardest things for physicists to do accurately. I applaud the effort made by the people working on this show.
