Avatar Studios: Details, Daydreams, and...Another Stream Subscription?
Yip yip! More Appa? More Uncle Iroh? More Kyoshi, please and thank you! ViacomCBS announced the creation of Nickelodeon Avatar Studios! I have been an avid fan of Avatar: The Last Airbender since I watched it with my younger brother when we were kids. My fascination with the Four Nations is alive again in finding that my eight-year-old daughter, who has previously rejected all things nerdy and divine, fell in love with the original animated show. It has become not only a shared interest but also a bonding experience. Her love of water-bending, however, has our bathroom a straight-up mess. The flooded tile is the only thing I would change about the new enthusiasm for Avatar inside my house, though. We have watched all of Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra several times.

How WandaVision And Marvel Sparked The Growth Of My Wife's Nerd Flower
Buddha once said, "If we could see the miracle of a single episode of WandaVision, clearly our whole life would change." Ok, I admit, Buddha was talking about flowers, not a TV show. But maybe if he had watched WandaVision or any other Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, he would have had them in mind.
