a degree in creative writing from UCLA, wears thick-rimmed hipster glasses, has pronouns in his LinkedIn profile, and supposedly he has far-right leanings

"If it writes like a duck, dresses like a duck, and talks like a duck, it's clearly a far-right chud and totally not another far-left quack, bigot!"

Korra is about 60 years after the series with Aang. While other Avatars have lived much longer than that it gets reasoned that because Aang spent 100 years in suspended animation it cut down his life expectancy.

In addition to "The Avatar" being an ever changing role going from Air to Water to Earth to Fire then back to Air tribe, the timeskip means the overall world changes from more isolationist and tribal cultures to a "unified" 'Union City' where most of Korra takes place alongside steampunk tech because 60 years ago someone invented the hot air balloon. This eventually includes a giant steampunk robot and laser gun in the last season because why the fuck not? 🙄

It could have been good if they didn't do the same plot every season.

Korra is an arrogant cunt

Korra doesn't listen to the wise and knowledgable teachers everyone tells her to listen to

Korra joins up with the literal worst person in the series who always turns out to be the end antagonist

Korra loses her powers and almost ends the Avatar cycle

Korra gets her powers back with an asspull that she has no control over

She's literally the worst Avatar ever.

It's a rounding error

It probably isn't even that. Companies like this likely have a financial incentive to flat out lie and tell someone they are part parrot or whatever else is already being asked and looked for. It's a snake oil game too many are retarded enough to pay for by choice without even needing to be approached by the salesman in the first place. On top of that a % value so low for any given characteristic, trait, heritage, or whatever is so insignificant it won't even be something that can manifest in the phenotype. Nor will it likely ever since even with eugenics, [lol], the trait would require about 10 generations of breeding to return to "full strength" and genetics doesn't even work like that anyway!

would so brazenly advocate discriminating against one type of undead in favor of another

No discrimination happening here, they all get treated the same way..

whoever his agent is

Behold as the truth suddenly makes other things a lot more understandable: His agent is the ex-wife of The Rock.

That's why he cameoed in Black Adam before being canned as Superman, because while she is The Rock's ex-wife she's also still his agent too. It was a setup from the start.

I wanted the option to give it the ability to escape and fly freely instead of destroying it to be the good ending. But now I'm worried that would be encouraging mental illness...

Just do what TNG did.

That's what Mass Effect did with the Shadow Broker from ME2, a Yahg with 8 eyes possessing "unrivaled perceptiveness and mental adaptability".

The yahg evolved to fill the niche of apex predator on Parnack. Yahg have four pairs of eyes, each pair designed to track and predict the movements of prey. A keen sensitivity to movement and light allows the yahg to easily read the body language of any species, making it almost impossible to lie to a yahg.

They don't play well with others, however.

When Parnack was discovered by Citadel Council surveyors in 2125 CE, the yahg were a pre-spaceflight civilization with technology equivalent to that of 20th century Earth. A Council delegation of ambassadors made first contact with the yahg and attempted to establish diplomatic relations. Unfortunately, the yahg perceived the ambassadors' attitudes and behavior as equal individuals instead of subordinates as a sign of contempt, and attacked and massacred the entire delegation. Immediately following that incident, the Citadel Council severed all contact with the yahg and declared Parnack off-limits. The Council maintains that the yahg's aggression and obsession with control make them poorly suited to integrate with the galactic community.

One of the many things I love about that film is how absurd it is for the protag driving what is basically a dinky human car when there are things bordering on interstellar spaceships in size right beside him, and still losing to him!

The whole point of clones is that they're nearly to completely identical, so big differences are interesting. If it were done well, which it obviously isn't (and, oh my, the fucking PAINT), it could be interesting.

A lot of older shows have done it quite well when addressing this. When Crichton gets duped in Farscape the two then play Rock-Paper-Scissors against each other and draw every. single. time. because everything about them is identical. So they can't even try to trick the other by drawing then doing what wouldn't be expected the next time because both of them end up doing it.

Neither Vorta or Jem'Hadar showed any signs of interest in others romantically because their entire method of reproducing was cloning so romance was redundant, Weyoun specifically mentions his shit eyesight is because the Founders decided the Vorta don't need it, which they don't. They're not soldiers, they don't need perfect vision for spotting things and shooting other things. They did have incredible hearing and a resilience to toxins which helped immeasurably in their role as diplomats. DS9 just had more sense than modern shows, and Trek, back then despite the inherent woke slant a lot of the episodes would still add such as the form Dax and Khan hosts meaning the lesbian kiss between Jadzia and Lenara.
