Netflix’s live-action Avatar has its heart in the right place, but its pacing and uneven performances leave a lot to be desired.

No strawman. One is positive and one is negative. That's why they are different lol

And no it's not really okay. You should encourage children.

Maybe I misread the original comment. Where is the false equivalency? I don't see OP saying "good and bad are the same."

I of course encourage children. I'm not a psycho. I'm referring to the fact that you can tell when a kid is brilliant, and when a kid simply sucks. But yeah, if you tell the kid "kid, stop, you suck," then that's a WTF moment.

Being uncomfortable with criticism does not mean immunity from criticism. This isn't a middle school play FFS, it's a licensed series for something that already has a large, established fan base. Millions of dollars went into this. People's careers depended on this. Using "they're just kids!" to deflect legitimate criticism toward their acting abilities is not only nonsensical, it's cowardly.
