I recently started watching Avatar: The Last Airbender on Netflix and am enjoying it. Discussing live action remakes, I believe they appeal to those who don't watch cartoons.

"Baby Teeth" by Zoje Stage is an emotionally brutal story told from the limited perspectives of a mother and daughter, offering a devastating exploration of missed opportunities and miscommunications within the family. "Good Omens" is a refreshing, humorous take on the concept of Armageddon, providing a light-hearted flair amidst the seriousness of other stories. "Slender Man" intrigues with its unattributed authorship and promise of a modern boogeyman tale.
