tsob posted:Can polar bear-dogs even bend? I don't recall it being mentioned at any point and just assumed they couldn't to be honest. I do expect to see her helping occasionally in fights being based on both a bear and a dog, but I don't expect to see her bending. If she does, then...pleasant suprise I guess? As far as we know, the only animals that can bend are airbison, badgermoles, and dragons.

M. Propagandalf posted:As interesting as this theory, wouldn't this mean that Amon is currently pretty old? This theory has popped up so many times. I posted it for the first one back on one of the first pages. Also the theory is problematic since there should have been some problems for Aang if for the last couple months/year of the series he only had like half a Avatar soul or something, and that never popped up.

Deep Winter posted:Yeeeah, I don't think the grandson of the Avatar is going to also be the Avatar. You'd just start getting weird, then. Eventually he will become his own ancestor. The Avatar cycle will eventually return to Air, and all the airbenders in this era are descended from Aang.

Can someone remind me what chi blocking is? I haven't seen the original in years. I know what chi is, and I can assume that it involves stopping someone's chi force, disabling their bending. But I can't remember it being a huge part of the original? Also, no one has answered my question:  quote:Where is this from? On nick.com's stream, I didn't see this on the eps I watched?

It's from a clip shown on Korra Nation. Probably going to happen in the opening of this Saturday's episode.

I hope they don't make romance a huge element in this series. The shipping in the original series was atrocious. gently caress. I can see it now, Firebender dude is going to help Korra break her rough exterior through the power of love!   But then I remember it's a kids show and don't mind so much.

Elder Crain posted:This theory has popped up so many times. I posted it for the first one back on one of the first pages. The main reason it won't happen is because it makes the plot far too dependent on minute details in the prior series, and I think that runs counter to what they're doing with Korra. As we all blathered on about after the first two episodes aired, they seem to be pushing the idea of "this is a new series that is going to stand on its own two feet without relying on TLA!" really hard.

The other problem with that theory is that it makes no sense and runs counter to everything we know? I don't know how anyone flipped Aang's near-death from lightning into a theory about the Avatar half-reincarnating when the whole point is that when an Avatar dies in the Avatar state, the Avatar can't reincarnate anymore. He's not the Slayer!

I haven't been able to keep up with this thread 100%, so I apologize if the thing I'm about to say has already been mentioned. It's something I noticed the first time I saw the first episode of Korra but hadn't noticed anyone mention. In the intro sequence, as Tenzin is rattling off the bending types, we see a brief demonstration of some benders doing' some moves. Now in LoK, each of the example benders is a past avatar. We see kiyoshi for earth, Roku for Fire and at the end, Korra herself for water. This is the important part: For Air, we see adult Aang. Airbendin' like a badass. I'm not the only one whose noticed this, right? I assume he'll show up in spirit form at some point in the series but as of now, this is all the adult Aang in motion we've got and it makes me happy.

It would be cool if that was one of the huge end of season things, in the middle of the finale chaos korra finally gets spiritual enough to contact her incarnations and we get to see Aang again.

When the series closed, he was still a shrinky dink, so seeing him all grown up is awesome. He got mad tall! RyuujinBlueZ posted:If he doesn't do the marble trick I will be extremely disappointed. No bending in the Spirit World, remember? Also, does anyone else really love Bolin's showboating? Toward the end of the second episode, when the Fire Ferrets have won the match and he's just hamming it up with the crowd. Literally every character is immediately lovable in this series even grumpy Mako.

I did love the fangirl screaming before the fight. I don't really care for Mako. His type has been done too many times and it's predictably annoying to see the fangirls fawn over him like flies to a carcass. His bending is impressive, and I loved watching him preform that knockout, though I've never really cared for fire bending styles. You get one more chance, Mr. Brooding.

Literally every character is immediately lovable in this series even grumpy Mako. I'm liking all of the characters introduced so far - Bolin is great. And I'm sure the less likable ones (like Mako I presume) will get better as the season progresses. Speaking of seasons, the pace that the plot is progressing at surprised me. I was thinking that if they kept that speed up, then the show would definitely finish in one season. Which I guess was the point, as stated in this article. MICHAEL DIMARTINO posted:Book 1 was always going to be 12 episodes. When we started writing, we didn't know if we would do more beyond that. Unlike the original series which had a three season arc, we designed "Korra" so that each season had it's own villain and clear resolution, so they are more stand-alone seasons. Although there are definitely arcs that carry over from Book 1 to Book 2. And from the villains thing, it looks like we'll find out all about Amon pretty quickly.

I think it'll make me like Mako if the show is really self aware with him. The creators have already thumbed their noses at shippers a few times. It'd be hilarious if later we learn that after matches Korra and Bolin always ditch Mako because he attracts a bunch of creepy, pushy fans and they just want to go have a quiet victory dinner.

After the clip where Korra earth bends Jenora and Ikki away, it's pretty obviously who she's leaning towards already. Also we heard from Mako that Bolin is the one that attracts the fangirls. I'd like to see Bolin get upset that all Mako has to do is mope and sigh and the chicks dig him. Brothers fight over stuff like that, right? I dunno, do more stuff that pokes fun at fans, Bryke! I love it!

Assembled a team of conflicting personalities, ended a war, freed people from oppression, set nations on a new path, died young.
