I've had that song stuck in my head for two days, it needed an outlet.
Explosions and pretty robots I can understand, I'm just noooot a fan of the way Micheal Bay directs. I don't care how many hours he spent rendering that robot if I can't tell what it's doing and I don't care why it's doing it. On the other hand, it's hilarious hearing my brother rant about the movies, so I get some enjoyment. (Oh, yay! I guess female characters are so ridiculously rare they have to treasure the ones they have? And, well, Terrorsaur's basically Starscream and Starscream has a lot of fans, so...it makes a kind of sense.) I would not mind these comments at all, feel free to babble!
There's this section of the fandom that haaaaates her because Zuko ends up with her and not their Suesthem Katara. Basically the same sort of people who call Ginny Weasely a whore because she dated two guys in one year but praise Hermione Granger as a paragon of virtue. Which is a terrible pity, because Mai's a stone cold badass; I would have thought you'd want all the awesome ladies you get, considering their rarity. (My impressions as a a fringer-dweller are: the shipping wars are mighty and glorious, there's a hideous number of Sues, and like any large fandom, the crazy increases in proportion with the total size.)
