    Oh, thank goodness. It’ll cover book 2, right?

    Since we already have a perfect film adaptation of book 1?

    I’ll see myself out.

    Did the name “avatar” make sense in the context of the show? I didn’t think so.

      From the avatar wiki:

      The term “Avatar” comes from the Sanskrit word avatāraḥ (अवतारः), which means “descent”. In Hinduism, Vishnu manifests himself as an avatar to restore balance on earth, during a period of imbalance.

      And there’s a lot of overlap with Hindi Avatars in general: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avatar.

      So pretty apt if you ask me
