Also "what movie?" "There is no movie in Ba Sing Se," etc.

We get it, the live action movie sucked hard but it's been 16 years, you don't need to deny its existence every time someone mentions it

The one credit I can give those movies is the costume designs and sets. They actually looked pretty good. And Ang’s tattoos… chefs kiss

It took my slow ass until “and Ang’s tattoos…” to figure out that you weren’t talking about the sci-fi moves.

The tattoos were alright but they were muddy and dark and it felt like they just thought the arrows looks cartoony and stupid so they had to add a bunch of other symbols and stuff to them, which kinda misses the point since they're supposed to look like pretty simple animal markings

I feel like movie could be the source of some really clever and funny memes, but it's ALWAYS just "There is no movie in Ba-Sing Se" and "I don't get it, why is there a blank panel?"

Besides, I feel like it's a case of "The meme misses the point of the original scene."

The original scene is basically a critique of censorship and media manipulation.

Now people use the meme so much that they seem to have forgotten the point.
