    Haven’t seen the second one, but honestly the first one was just fine. Like, it’s not in my top ten or anything, but it not bad by any stretch. And there’s nothing wrong with calling something “unobtanium,” have you seen what we’ve named actual elements in real life? Or what some place names are like?

      I used that as an example of how tropey it was. “Unobtanium” is literally the name of the nigh impossible fetch quest trope and has been for decades.

          It’s lazy.

            What’s lazy about it? Again, I direct you to the names of real elements and placenames. Humans have been naming things “simply” forever. It’s not lazy.
