Look, you know I'm not always the most clueful person in the room, but this is just... too outrageous to have words assigned to it.
I mean, if research is so (and you know I don't use this word lightly) goddamn hard for the poor boy (and the barely-concealed scorn for writers who, like, you know, WORK and stuff is a whole 'nother rant), all he had to do was to take careful note of how the Avatar dudes dealt with martial arts to get the idea that maybe, just maybe, a teeeensy bit more respect would make the book better.
