Looks like the Netlify CEO jumped in and wiped that bill clean, saying it was a mistaken charge for a traffic spike. That has happened to me before when running sites that get a big random surge of visitors. If you're lucky the site just goes down for a little bit. I say lucky because the other option is you get hit with a gigantic bill for traffic over your limit and most times the CEO does not come to your rescue and it's either pay-up or find a new web host. Note this is usually with cheapo non-cloud-base hosts. There are better options that mostly avoid this nightmare but they tend to be on the spendy side.

they tried to rewrite an S tier writing with B tier writers

That's maybe the best description of the whole thing I've heard yet. Do you think it'll get better in season 2? Me I'm thinking it'll take so long to film that the kid playing Aang will almost look like a grown ass man by the time it comes out. Quality wise unless they magically get the original creators back on board it'll be more of the same.

Definitely. Especially when they get one that really starts to crunch theoretical physics.

You on an Apple device with a trackpad? If so I found this: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/252829126?sortBy=best

Me I'd "inspect element" and poke around to see if there's some html or script issue causing a layout error. From your screenshot it looks like there's something inside the rounded corner div containing the video/player that's the problem (if it's a layout issue). That's because the right side has rounded corners while left doesn't (which means the video/player isn't filling it's container div for some reason). Good luck sorting it out.

Now that I've had some hours to mull it over I can at least appreciate that it didn't make me hate it and its creators like say Rings of Power or Halo season one. But yeah I was expecting better. The original sets an insanely high bar to reach.

Despite my rant above I'd say it's worth a watch. Like I said there is a lot of good stuff in there and maybe the things that bothered me won't be a big deal to you. I don't regret watching it, just a number of creative and casting choices (also the VFX can be bad sometimes and the obvious LED wall can be obvious sometimes). But yeah give it a watch.

Did you see Ghostbusters Afterlife? It was good. These aren't connected to the terrible all-woman 2016 movie.
