My Thoughts On Netflix’s Avatar
When Netflix first announced their live-action Avatar project in 2018, high school me was ecstatic. Nickelodeon’s Avatar was my one and only afterschool special treat. As a kid, I loved the action, and even rewatching it recently, its story is complex and timeless. These qualities in animation and digital media are something we see less and less of now. As studios look to cut costs and maximize their profits as much as possible, writers and storytellers have less and less time to develop complex stories, resulting in what I like to call the Netflix Effect.

The Best Show about Pranks
Out of the many tv shows that my sister could put me on, a show that took me by surprise was a show about these 4 guys who pull pranks on each other and in public. Impractical Jokers is by far one of the funniest shows I’ve ever seen. It’s about these 4 guys (Sal, Q, Murr, and Joe) who challenge each other to do dares in public, and the person to lose the most challenges has to do a final “punishment” at the end.
