    Legend of Korra

    So good guys. SO GOOD. It's sort of sad to see the types of bending and chi blocking that were so special in the first series being used by everyone and their mom in the second one, but it's still awesome. Korra should forget Mako and totally get with Bolin. But since that won't happen, I am hoping for some smexy Amon x Bolin.

    Re: Legend of Korra

    I agree I missed this weeks episode though!!!! Only a few more to the end of the first book right?

    Anyways it is definitely a different flavor than the first avatar but sometimes the first shines through.

    Yeah. They cliff hanged hard, and the one-hour season finale is next week. If the previous Avatar series has taught us anything, it's that this season is definitely going to leave us hanging as well.

    PAAAAAAGE STREEEEEETCH

    Yep. Awesome series is awesome. Haven't been this excited to get up and watch a Saturday morning cartoon since... I can't even remember when.

    Also,
    SPOILER!!:
    Asami is so jelly of Mako and Korra! Wonder if she'll turn on them to go back with her daddy...

    Re: Legend of Korra

    It'd be dumb if Asami did that at this point, but for some reason I can see it happening. I sort of like Mako x Asami now, though. There are so many other (better) people that Korra can get with. OMG DODIE DID YOU SEE IROH?

    And guys you have to watch this shit. Oh man. Do what you gotta do to see it.

    YEP I TOTALLY SAW THAT SHIZZ~!

    His voice doesn't match his face at all though... Kind of jarring to hear THAT voice come out of a character who looks like a badass baritone type.

    I can't believe I didn't even mention Lin!
    SPOILER!!:
    I wonder if de-bending is actually gonna be permanent, or if it's just some high-level chi-blocking that Amon is doing... AMON I LIKED YOU LAST EPISODE WHEN YOU WERE A BIG DAMN HERO FOR KORRA kind of AND THEN YOU HAD TO TAKE AWAY LIN'S EARTHBENDING POWERS!!!

    Re: Legend of Korra

    At first I thought it was temp, and just an advanced form thing. Now I'm not so sure.

    Spoiler:
    I think it may be spirit bending. Since it isn't elemental bending, he can pass it off as chi blocking. The creators seem to be keep a balance of power between hero and villain by giving them either a big army or extraordinary abilities. Like the mob guy from 40 years ago... man had mad bloodbending. Same with Tarlok.

    That said, if it is spirit bending, Korra will be able to reverse it at some point once she taps into her Avatarz.



    But Lin.

    Spoiler:
    It's funny how losing bending is basically like an execution in this show.



    We'll see her again, I'm sure~ When she gets with Bolin.

    Re: Legend of Korra

    Is Bolin your fandom bicycle? You're pairing him with errrrbody! And yeah... I can see that parallel in your second spoiler... *shudders*

    Amon is a scary dude. I guess he is telling the truth about his origins if your first spoiler box is true. Wonder what spirit decided to grant him that ability though... Most think it's Koe (the face stealer from the first series) since he had a vendetta against avatars, and we haven't seen him since he said "We'll meet again".

    Speaking of Lin/Bolin... Saw this on FunnyJunk a couple days ago, and made me lol:

    Re: Legend of Korra

    I think it's because Bolin goes so well with everybody... And if they're older than him, he's like the ultimate bottom.

    Didn't think that anyone in particular had granted him that ability... I thought he just said that to rile up the crowd. But now that you mention Koh and Amon's mask (and possible lack of face), it makes sense. Koh stole the wife-to-be of the previous water bending avatar, and he did say to Aang he would return. Maybe Amon made a deal with him in exchange for his face and became the spirit-bending Terminator that he is today. =P

    Re: Legend of Korra

    I absolutely adore this show! Though it may be a lot darker than Avatar:The Last Airbender,it's still very good. Anyone who is debating on whether to watch it or not or who even hasn't watched it yet....WATCH IT!!!

    Spoiler:
    Anybody else see the season finale?! I so jumped out of my seat and cheered when Korra and Lin got their bending back!

    Re: Legend of Korra

    I saw the season finale. I'm sorta wondering where they're going to take this from here on out. If they want to do anything good with it, they're going to need at least two more seasons, otherwise the next arc is going to be short-lived at best. There were some great parts, but I was sort of disappointed at others...

    Spoiler:
    With Amon gone, I'm wondering what they're going to do next. If he doesn't miraculously survive and they introduce a new villain, I dunno how they're going to top him... he was already pretty bad ass. In general, the way they ended and resolved everything, while nice at parts, was really abrupt. Like Korra getting her bending back within the last 3 minutes of the ep... you'd think they would have saved that for the next season, at least. There's no tension whatsoever, haha.

    I just hope it isn't a drama fest between her and Mako throughout the whole thing. Though I think Korra should wind up with someone else anyway. Also, I want to see more Boomie.

    Re: Legend of Korra

    I'm also wondering what they'll do next. But I hope in the next season,as you said,they'll show some more Bumi. I also want to see Kya(Bumi's and Tenzin's older sister). There are so much more information,that I want to know:

    *Who is Lin's father?
    *Did Sokka have any kids?
    *Who did Zuko marry?
    *etc.

    Now I understand that maybe The Promise(Part I and Part II) may answer these questions,but I haven't picked up The Promise Part I and I do believe that The Promise Part II hasn't been released?

    Anyway,I thought the finale was good and I liked it. It felt more like a series finale instead of a season finale. A bit rushed at moments,but at least everything turned out for the best,right?

    Re: Legend of Korra

    Finale was awesome. Was kind of hoping that there was at least a little truth to
    SPOILER!!:
    what Amon said his past was...at least in regards to being gifted by one of the spirits to take away bending. That would have been some interesting drama when Korra finally visiting the spirit world. Speaking of spirits, DAT AANG APPEARANCE~! "You called me."

    Now that this is over, I don't know what to do with myself... Need to find another something to watch to keep me occupied until the next season starts.

    Re: Legend of Korra

    There's a lot that the creators can do from here on out. I'm hoping that they will get to explore the world outside Republic City and add more of the mysticism A:TLA had. Not only that, but also flesh out the characters too. I felt bad for Bolin and Asami because they got treated like crap. Mako kissed Korra, who Bolin had a crush for, and cheated on Asami. Why is douchebag Mako such a dumbass?

    SPOILER!!:
    The sub story arc about Tarlokk and Amon (Noatok) being brothers was interesting and intertwined with the main story well. It also ended perfectly the way it did on the finale; both presumably dead while leaving the mystery of them being alive out there.

    Re: Legend of Korra

    I didn't know The Promise existed...!

    Mako IS a bitch. Oh man. Was raging so hard throughout the series at him. Hopefully Korra winds up with someone cooler... but what are the chances of that.
