Avatar: The Legend of Korra

[Akiyama]

I notice a lot of people keep mentioning this and it kind of bugs me, but Aang was never really all that "sheltered" as a kid, he traveled the world long before he ever got into that iceberg. He visited all four Air-temples, at each end of the world and visited many major cities in all four nations.

As for the Asami and her father issue, I honestly do hope they're both genuinely "good" characters. They did the whole "technology is evil" bit in the last show with the Fire Nation's use of war machines so I hope this one manages to stay above that plot point by keeping Sato and his business empire legit. I'm sure there's some secret behind his fortune with the mysterious benefactor they mentioned, but that could just as easily be Sokka or Zuko or some other big name good guy as it could be a villain hiding from the shadows.

After rereading what I said, yeah. I was wrong about that because I forgot all about Aang hanging out with Bumi and all that. I guess the Air nomads weren't so much sheltered like traditional monks. Whoops. So yeah, my bad.

With Asami and her father.. I hope they don't pull a "Asami's a double agent, actually a bad guy and it was all a plan to put Mako on the outs with the Avatar to cause her to lose her focus, etc" sort of thing as it'd be too easy.

@ Airenn: Don't be mad at me. :< I like Asami, so what?!

As for the romance.. meh. I liked it more in A:TLA because it was more.. background than it is here, but it doesn't make me like the show any less. They're just older and focus on this stuff more. That and I guess with the war that the first group had to deal with.. this isn't as big of an issue even if the threat is just as real. IMO anyway.

Looks awesome, but I hate it when a preview shows exactly how something ends =\ I really wanted to see more on the probending, guess I don't really have to now -_-

So, I know this was some time ago but regarding Amon and his taking away peoples bending...

Spoiler: show

I don't think anyone mentioned this and if they did and I missed it I apologize in advance. I saw the little chart that was posted a couple pages back about Aang touching 2 points on the body and Amon not but although they aren't the same two that doesn't seem to be the case. I was rewatching episode 2 and every time he preformed the act not only did he do the forehead touch he also seems to do some sort of touch/pinch on the victims shoulder/neck. It could just be part of a takedown but he does seem to keep it held during the whole deal. I suppose you could use this to either support or argue against him energy bending but typically when I think about about neck pinching I think pressure points which I think seems more in line with Chi blocking. It could be nothing but if you look at each wide shot of him doing it he does it to each bender.

Well it wasn't just you who made that claim so I didn't mean it to single anyone out specifically, it's just something I see a lot of people (here and on other sites even) over look when comparing Aang and Korra as Avatars.

And again, on the romance, I too preferred it more when it was more just background stuff like quick glances and awkward smiles. Though even in the original series it was always there, right from the first episode, it wasn't really used in the story until late season two. But again, with older characters, and an older audience to match, it's understandable why it'd be more front and center. As long as it doesn't take away from the overall story it shouldn't be too bad, and it's really far too early to judge whether or not this love square thing is going to hurt the show.

Pretty bad but still not the level of disgustingly cutey that Aang and Katara had in The Promise: Part 1.

[Qeomash]

So oogie.

LOL. Yeah. But yeah, I was more of a fan of the pining/background sort of relationship/romantic stuff than.. an entire episode seemingly devoted to it coming up. Ah well.

[Athas]

The Promise? That wasn't an episode from the show was it?

[Marootsoobutsu]

The Promise? That wasn't an episode from the show was it?

No, the comic book/graphic novel of the series, set following Aang's whumping of Ozai.

[Sunrider]

Not Korra relevant, but Avatar relevant.



... did she say something about "number two?" And that he's directing it?

[Gokku]

a straight up American movie?! ALL WHITE ACTORS IN MY ASIAN SERIES I WOULD NEVER! the movie was fucking horrid. i think the death threats start when he ruins toph... that will be unforgivable.

[Eurell]

They should get a male actor for Toph, just like the play in season 3.

[Ragnus]

Toph is going to be sheepish in nature and embarrassed about showing off or even using her Earthbending. Calling it.

Also, uhm... it's not the pacing, or the multi-culturalness, or that they "just don't get you". It's because you took a wonderful series and took a giant shit on it by getting all of the characters wrong, and all of the cultures wrong.

lmao, that was fkn funny.
