When You Think About It, Adults Are Really Just Avatars for Babies
I imagine the only thing you’re more sick of than Kick-Ass trailers are Avatar articles, be they stories of dumb fans taking the movie too seriously or parodies. I know. I’m with you. And yet, I couldn’t resist this (hopefully last) video, where babies try to infiltrate the grown-ups’ world of Pandora. Suffice to say, this does not work out particularly well for the babies. Make sure to stay through the end — as it turns out, the baby/grown-up war is slightly more one-sided than the Na’vi/Space Marine war in the movie. Stupid babies.

Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others.
