The world of Avatar, racism in The New Mutants, comparing the Surface Duo and the Galaxy Z Fold 2, and more in today's Link Tank!
Here’s how The Legend of Korra may have explained one of the weirdest mysteries from Avatar: The Last Airbender.
“Avatar: The Last Airbender is full of hybrid animals. There’s Appa, Avatar Aang’s beloved sky bison. Naga is Korra’s polar bear dog.

“The New Mutants is out and it looks like people are seeing it, since the film has made $7 million domestically despite, you know, a pandemic. This means there are already scenes being shared from the movie, including several of the character Illyana Rasputina, a.k.a. Magik (Anya Taylor-Joy), being racist towards Dani Moonstar, a.k.a. Mirage, played by Blu Hunt.”
