GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

No, elder Zuko was voiced by someone else. Which is part of why it took until the elevator scene for me to really feel like he was Zuko.

And I'm with P-C; for Tenzin Air Bending and being an Air Nomad are one in the same. He can't really conceive of them as being two separate things. Growing up, he and his father were the lone embodiments of the entire culture. And then Aang died and he was the only one until the birth of his children. Carrying on the legacy of his people is paramount to him.

I imagine over time he will figure out how to separate the skill from the culture, but for now he's still coming to grips with it.

Also, in the Avatar world, bending is very strongly tied to culture (the mixed culture of Republic City not-withstanding). I think a Fire Bender who didn't consider themselves a member of the Fire Nation, for example, would be seen as an oddity outside of the Republic.

I just read the Mary Sue recap of the episodes and the recapper is in your camp on Tenzin, Suela. There's a gif of him tossing off his cape with the caption "Dang Pema, no wonder you keep having kids."

"...and then Legolas and the Hulk destroy the entire Greek army." - Penny Arcade

So I just watched the first episode of Sailor Moon Crystal:

-It was basically the first episode of the classic series with a few more elements from the manga, which makes sense since that was pretty much the first manga chapter too.

-Still not sure about the new character designs. They seem closer to the manga look, but they also seem more glamorous, and I'm not sure I like it.

-From the end of the episode, we may be getting Ami already in Episode 2, like in the manga? Not sure I like that, one of the things I liked about the anime version is that it has rooms to pace things slower, although if they only have 26 episodes(I think?) they may have to speed things up.

-What do you think about the new color palette? It looks a lot lighter than the classic series.

Adventure Time: Holy Crap, Madéleine Flores is talented. That was her very first storyboard! And she has a full-time gig on Bee and Puppycat!

You can see a lot of the same storytelling rhythms in her comic here.
