Nickelodeon hooked it up with a release of the full uncut fight between Avatar's Aang and Fire Lord Ozai. This will always be epic.
Sometimes an animator is left with a problem like "how do I make this character use chopsticks if their hand is a literal fingerless stump?" The pragmatic solutions they've found are goofy as hell, and the absurdness they bring are a hallmark of animation. And then the other half are like "oh yeah, that's kind of stupid."
Nick Murray Willis is doing great things with his channel. He's taking real world sporting events and all other manners of madness, and reinterpreting them in the animated medium. The results are wildly entertaining, and this video made a splash, with waves of admiration already rolling out across YouTube.
