It’s a fantasy movie...it’s entertainment. It’s not some deep intellectual drivel like some movies...this is strictly for fun. I go to enjoy myself...not analyze what the movie is supposed to represent or any other nonsense.
It’s for FUN...so go enjoy it and have some...:)

And let’s not forget “The Shape of Water”.
Never heard of it, but that's on me. I personally find books and movies that take place on the high seas absolutely boring. The aristocratic drawing room is more interesting, so I I have a bias against water.

Well, that one wasn’t set on the seas. It did have an aquarium in it and some weird merman-alien creature though. But it was pretty good.

Looks like fun - Waterlogged Terminator meets princess Donald Duck.

Well, I know of the firework, but in the context of “damp squib,” I thought they meant something closer to Harry Potter’s.

Reading the context, I would say you’re correct.
I was originally thinking like a mudblood...

Squib? Did Harry Potter coin a new word, or did this pre-exist HP?
The only other time I have heard this word is in reference to a type of misfire. You know, when a gun doesn't discharge properly and part of the round gets stuck in the chamber or the barrel. That's the only time I have ever heard that term before.
A squib can be dangerous.

The movie was okay. Not that bad. 45 minutes too long. It’s been 13 years since I saw the last Avatar movie so it would be nice if they did a little recap. All I saw was a bunch of sea people fighting evil English with guns in the water 💧.
