English people help me out, am I meant to tip on uber eats deliveroo ect?

I feel like no coz like if I were to order directly from the takeaway it wouldn’t even give me the option to tip and the only reason I would would be if it was particularly quick and I had spare change on me.

Usually with delivery services like this I just tip 10% coz I don’t want to be too stingy but people online always say 20% but I think thats usually Americans.

Any advice would be appreciated.

And is it different for groceries and stuff on uber eats? I feel like i absolutely cannot not tip if they are wandering around the shop buying my stuff, in that case do I tip more though, coz typically I would be spending more (I wouldn’t do this with frequency but occasionally uber eats send me deals where it is cheeper to do this than go in to the shop) so i feel like 20% tip maybe, maybe 10% if its not many items?

Also if you are a delivery driver or have been one please comment, obviously you are the best to hear it from.

I think zukos character development is kinda missing in the live action. In the original he does bad things and hurts people, here they let other people do his part. Just to make him more likeable? Just like taking sokkas sexism away, it's not a bad thing as long as he grows out of it.

Hi, this is so exciting, my very first one of these question thingys.

Okay so I kinda agree with you. I do feel like Zukos anger has been kinda watered down, but he still does bad things and I honestly dont feel like his character changed that much . For example in the cartoon his attack on Aang set Kyoshi on fire and it didnt in the live action and I don’t feel like this has any repercussions on his character because I never felt like it was intentional to set the fire it was just a by product of Zuko trying to capture Aang, and I feel like if it had happened in the live action Zuko would have reacted the same way. I think Zuko never wanted to hurt people, but capturing the avatar was so important to him that if people got hurt on the way so be it, capturing Aang was worth it, but I don’t think in either version he would have hurt people if he could have avoided it.

I think thats what makes Zukos character development possible, he never wanted to cause any harm. I think it’s important that we see that what ever is going on with Zuko he truly cares about people. I think one of the key moments that shows this is when in “the storm” (cartoon) Zuko momentarily gives up on capturing Aang and prioritises his crews safety. I think another key moment was when Zuko attempted to save Zhao from koi-Aang, it seemed so poignant that even when he was the bad guy he would try and save his enemy.

I think it’s his desperation thats missing in the live action. The absolute drive to capture Aang and regain his honour. I think the reason he was willing to put other people in danger is because he valued capturing Aang over all else, at the end of the day, it was Zuko who was in the most danger every time, he was always the one to fight Aang head on. I think this is best evidenced when he swims through the seal holes to enter the northern water tribe. I just don’t feel like live action Zukos heart is truly in it in the same way. I think this is so important for Ozais and Zukos relationship, and without Zuko having this same desperation it seems less plausible that he would re join the fire nation at the end of season 2. We have already seen that the live action Zuko has fought Ozai at the agni kai, which makes me feel like he is allready further on his journey towards rebellion. Although to be fair his lack of desperation may be in part due to the fact that live action Ozai seems to have a slightly better relationship with Zuko, almost seeming proud of him for finding the avatar (although we also have no idea how he acted when he was around Zuko), but he does still burn Zukos face off so I think this is unlikely.

At the end of the day, I think both Zukos loyalty is to the fire nation, but I think in season 1 cartoon Zukos loyalty is to Ozai and live action Zukos loyalty is to his people.

But obviously this is all subjective and from the point of view of someone who has watched the cartoon many times and therefore my opinion is heavily influenced by this. I also feel like live action Zuko may be better than he really was in my brain because honestly he was the only character I liked. I am very curious how someone new to the series would view live action Zuko though.

#that was a very long winded way of saying I agree but also dont #i definitely need to watch both series’s again #and compare the differences #i havent seen the cartoon in years #and to be honest I didn’t pay that much attention to the live action #what are the seal things called i cant remember #nahvatar the last airbender #atla live action #atla netflix #atla #natla spoilers #natla #netflix avatar the last airbender #avatar the last airbender live action #avatar live action #avatar #Zuko

I think it was a bad decision, having Zuko defeat Zhao. In the original series, I feel like when Zuko tried to save Zhao from koi Aang it was such an important moment. It really showed how Zuko was truly a good person despite being on the wrong side of the war. it was one of the moments where you could see that he would change sides in the end. Without this moment, his character feels all the weaker.

One thing that really irritated me about the atla live action with the wispy bits in Azula’s hair. Like you cannot convince me that the girl who had a mental breakdown over once single hair out of place would not be using buckets of hair gel, her pony tail would be tighter than JoJo Siwas.

Okay, so I finally finished the live action atla and I have some thoughts.

I feel like they have stripped away the soul of the cartoon. By taking away Aangs fun, Kataras angriness, and Sokkas humour the story feels empty. Also, someone said Zuko doesn’t say honour once, which is truly detrimental to his character.

By not having any filler episodes, we didn’t get to learn who these characters were, and they didn’t get to bond with each other, so it made no sense when they kept telling each other they were family like guys you met a week ago.

I think they tried to make up for it, including as many fan favourite moments as possible, and by sticking to the key original plot beats. But in doing this they’re getting there in very different ways, which don’t always make sense, and feel really crammed together and rushed. I think they needed to let some of these moments go and tell their version of the story, because let’s be honest, the show really doesn’t hold up on its own and I think the main reason people are enjoying it is because of these references, not because of the story as a whole.

It seems like they’re trying to make a live action cartoon rather than a live action adaptation of a cartoon. All the wigs are terrible, Yues in particular. All the costumes look really cheap, I think partly this is due to them sticking too close to the cartoon and wanting the characters to look exactly the same when it doesn’t fit in this new medium. I think another reason for this is that particularly the water tribe costumes don’t look fit for use, the coats are all way too thin and I cannot believe that they would keep anyone warm enough at the poles. I think another reason for this is none of the clothes look worn, and they all look freshly ironed, which makes it difficult to believe in this world.

I will give them credit though, making the 41st Zukos crew was so smart and I love it.

#having the mechanist jet and omashu in the same episode was a big mistake #The costumingwas truly terrible #all the characters looked like cosplayers #No disrespect cosplayers I think they’re great #But I think there’s a difference between cosplaying a cartoon character and playing a live action version of a cartoon character #The whole vibe of the gaang was off #I also really didn’t like the azula backstory #having mai and tylee around instead of doing their own thing feels like azula has much more of a support system in place #so it feels less likely she’s going to have a breakdown #I know that’s not how mental health works #But changing her backstory changes her character #And I’d be interested in future seasons to see if this changes how they handle Azula overall #also why was ozai sounding kind of proud of zuko #it makes no sense #The only reason I can think of is because it was in front of Azula #like is this one of his manipulation tactics? #I just don’t understand what the point of making a live action was when we all knew the cartoon was always going to be better #it took me almost a week to get through the series #And usually I’ve binge watch shows as soon as they come out #So if I’m not finished in two days max it really shows that the show wasn’t that good #nahvatar the last airbender #Bring back filler episodes #atla live action #atla #natla #avatar the last airbender #netflix avatar the last airbender #avatar the last airbender live action #avatar live action #avatar

I’m not sure how I feel about Zuko fighting back against Ozai.

It feels kinda wrong, like Zuko couldn’t possibly fathom fighting against Ozai when he was being directly attacked during the agni kai, so it feels all the more significant when his when he makes his decision to fight against him later on.

It took me way too long to figure out what natla meant, for some reason, I assumed it was nahvatar the last airbender and that people were tagging it because they didn’t like the new adaptation

I know it was meant to be a serious moment but Katara watching her mum be toasted like a marshmallow was so funny it looked so goofy

Bumi blaming Aang will forever leave a bad taste in my mouth

Like Bumi is a grown ass adult he needs to get over himself, Aang was twelve and assuming he survived the genocide what was he meant to do? Take on the whole fire nation?

Zuko immediately going to his room and doodling Aang after he loses him is so funny to me
