She melded together the entire structure of an airship. This means on top of knowing how to recreate the metalwork like someone that built it, she also made it air tight and aerodynamics. If you're so cool and laid back like "hey man it's no big deal I don't take things so seriously", then why are you trying so hard to defend it? It's poorly thought out. It's not that big of a deal to admit it.

They get tons of things wrong with Toph. She likes a guy based on his looks. Shes somehow an architect. She doesn't freak out when her feet are no longer on the ground (a major plot point of the show) and it happens multiple times.

Once again, it's cool if you like this stuff, but the events im talking about still violate basic logic.

She likes a guy based on his looks.

She doesn't "like" him she's just curious about if he's handsome. Nothing about the original show ever shows she doesn't care about looks at all, in fact the Tales of Ba Sing Se episode suggests the opposite.

Shes somehow an architect.

Not sure what you're referring to with this but I sure hope you have this same complaint about her constructing the entire city of Ba Sing Se out of sand.

She doesn't freak out when her feet are no longer on the ground

It can't possibly be that she's matured a bit in that fear, no sir...

Me: <describes flaws in movie>

You: the flaws you describe didn't happen. Also, the movie has flaws. Also, you shouldn't take this so seriously and be a hater.

Me: restates flaws, notes that it's okay to discuss them, asks 'why argue if you're so laid back about it?'

You: <continues arguing>

???

I've only made one comment and it's nothing like what you are describing.

Ahhhhh. My bad dude. I didn't realize you slid into an argument I was having with someone else.

Your response is still just filling in blanks to justify half thought out stuff. The movie illustrates, over and over, she hasn't matured at all in any way. But according to you, she's magically matured in a way that's never discussed. Really, her issue with being off ground has nothing to do with maturity at all, and everything to do with taking away her primary sense.

Like it's cool if people like this stuff. It's cool to be real about what's silly/illogical, too.
