Some see a simple Wipe It Down, we see trenchant Avatar: The Last Airbender analysis
Some might watch the brief video below, an installment of the TikTok mainstay “Wipe It Down” challenge, and see only a fun bit of editing trickery and makeup magic. It is those things. But, reader, look beyond. Probe more deeply. Do what Uncle would have you do: Look within yourself to save yourself from your other self. Only then will your true self reveal itself.
Or, just think about it from an Avatar: The Last Airbender character perspective. Either works. Hell, even just watching it because it is fun and cool works. I’m sure writer/actor/director/multi-hyphenate creator Eugene Lee Yang won’t mind.
First, a delight. One of the true pinnacles of the form. We applaud the artist. (Also that Azula nose contour? Excellent. Brow game, also top notch.)
