Inverse - 🌕 The Moon Receives a New Visitor

Growing up in the mid-2000s, you were either a Harry Potter kid, a Narnia lover, or an Avatar: The Last Airbender devotee. The latter was catnip to many a younger millennial. It was an animated series that combined the worldbuilding and lore of its contemporaries with a story unlike any other. It was soulful, huge in scope, and impossibly endearing. Almost 20 years later, it remains one of the strongest stories in any medium, a reputation backed by its 2020 resurgence on Netflix.

It’s not a stretch to say that nothing can replace the original Avatar; one needn’t look further than M. Night Shyamalan’s embarrassing attempt at a live-action remake in 2010. There’s no way to describe the wound it left on the fandom without verging into hyperbole. In our defense, though, it’s hard to watch characters you grew up with, and storylines you spent years unpacking, adapted without the reverence they deserve. So when Netflix’s adaptation came along with promises to check all the boxes that were previously disregarded, it seemed like a perfect solution. Unfortunately, that slavish devotion to the source material creates a wholly different problem.

Immerse yourself in traditional Dutch elegance with a stay in an intricate maze of 25 connecting Golden Age Canal houses — also known as The Pulitzer Amsterdam. The five-star hotel is located along the city’s iconic canals and combines historic Dutch charm and innovative conveniences near many of the city’s must-see attractions. In addition to museum-worthy works of art and locally-crafted furniture, the hotel’s interior includes a two-story gym, serene inner gardens, and gourmet dining within the restored 17th and 18th century canal houses. To truly welcome you to Amsterdam — a famously bike-friendly city — each room even contains a bike repair kit.
