I feel so many feelings about Rocky during the first contact. He wants to connect SO BADLY. Do Eridians have horror stories about scary aliens? If they do, Rocky doesn't care. He wants this alien to be friendly. He does everything he can to accommodate. Here, a little gift I'm sending your way at the speed you're comfortable with. Please be there. Here, the next gift is going right into your airlock so that it's easier for you to catch. Please don't fly away. You made a strange gesture with your limb, I'll make my robot make that gesture back. Please belive that I'm friendly. Here's a tunnel to connect us, I'll make sure you can breathe in it. Please come meet me. I'll let you choose the material for the wall separating us; I'll rebuild the whole wall if it makes you more comfortable, no trouble, just please let's talk. You're all alone on your ship, I can hear it, please come sleep here where I can watch you, it's unsafe for you to be alone. I'm alone and scared, it's been 46 years since I felt safe while sleeping, please please please watch me sleep too. I'm very vulnerable when I sleep and I trust that you won't use it against me. I want to visit your ship, am allowed, question? I'm moving in with you. Let's save the stars.

I'm gonna get crucified for this. I just saw Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender, and I'm sorry to say this, y'all, but I didn't like it as much as I wanted to.

As the film was reaching its end, I kept thinking to myself, "Why am I not enjoying this as much as I want to?" And then it finally hit me: I couldn't get fully invested in the story because the movie wasn't investing enough time into the people who are a part of it! The story focused so much on all these big dramatic events that it didn't give itself a moment to breathe, so it could focus on how the characters were feeling about said events!

Remember that heartfelt scene where Sokka opens up to Suki about his grief over Yue and how it made him overly protective of her in the Serpent's Pass? Or that sweet moment where Toph talks with Zuko about meeting Uncle Iroh? Or that poignant scene where Zuko, Azula, Mai, and Ty Lee talk about their struggles and insecurities? It's these kinds of scenes that are what this movie needed so much more of!

And what makes it that much more painful is that there were SO MANY OPPORTUNITIES TO HAVE THEM! Wouldn't you have loved to see Zuko and Katara talk with each other about the struggles they face in their political careers? Or Sokka talk about how the adversity he faces as a non-bender and how he feels about the Denied and their cause? Or Toph and Zuko confront Tagah because they feel bad for what the Fire Nation and the Earth Kingdom did to the Air Nomads? Or heck, just have Tagah actually get to know Aang's family better, which would have made his betrayal that much more devastating!

And that's sadly why I didn't love this movie as much as I wanted to. Even though the hype moments and aura were great, it ended up being not as emotionally impactful as it should have been because it missed countless opportunities to develop the characters who were doing said hype moments and aura.

Shoutout to Project Hail Mary for being the only media where the unconscious protagonist is dragged off screen by an alien spider monster and the audience's reaction is heartbreak on behalf of the alien spider monster.

"I have never seen a cat that showed affection/love for it's owner" is the pet ownership version of "I don't believe in Female Orgasms they don't exist, after all, my wife has never had one"
