So I just noticed, according to the Explore Republic City flash thingzo, Tenzin is 51 and Pema is 35. I guess he did have a thing for younger women.

With their oldest kid being 10 years old, Pema was at least 25 years old when she met Tenzin.

Not when you have an aunt and uncle like Aang's kids would have (I'm just assuming Sokka and Suki stuck together). You'd probably have them hanging around along with the Kyoshi warriors, Mai and Ty Lee showing you don't have to be able to bend to be a badass.

Out of curiousity, has anything been said about how when the Avatar reincarnation process begins?

Like, is an unborn child or baby being born instantly chosen to be the next Avatar the very second the first one dies, or does some time pass until a suitable host to become the Avatar is chosen just in case someone figures out a way to bring the current Avatar back to life?

In A:TLA you see the Avatar being reincarnated as Aang as he is being born the moment that Roku dies.

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.

If you look closely, he's also rocking a beard!

Hey, I have a question. Is there a way for non-Americans to watch this show at all? I have a friend in Korea, and she loved the TLA and wants to watch this show. She was able to see the first two episodes on iTunes okay enough, but is there any other legal watch this show for non-Americans?

She could buy it on Amazon.com. If you're looking for free legal alternatives, then I think you're out of luck.

If you want to go into a gray zone, there's always the live streams.

By the creators, like with the first two, or by someone else?

The episodes are prematurely uploaded to Nick's servers. Someone figured out that each video has an unique ID from which you can retrieve certain clips (e.g. Episode 4&5 of LOK). Once you figure out the IDs (either by brute force or luck), it's very easy to locate and download the clips.

Do we have any kind of viewing figure estimates for episode 3 yet? I'm interested to know how many of the, was it 4.4 million viewers the premier had?, were retained.

I don't have the link handy but IIRC it was around 3 millionm, which is still better than the viewing count for any of the ATLA-episodes (besides the final).

literallyincredible posted:

In a way, its a smart way to raise the threat level of the enemies in the show for genre-savvy viewers. On the other hand, I'm finding it's also brushing up against my suspension of disbelief, where in a world where we know swords and knives and the martial arts to master them exist, that the primary mode of combat for equalists is a form of nonlethal martial arts aimed at temporary incapacitation, and everyone treats this as some sort of major threat.

The thing that makes the Equalists credible as a major threat is that they're actually capable of rendering their opponents defenseless without any use of weapon. The weapons they do use, e.g. snares/smokebombs, are basically only used from cover or when they need to make a quick escape.

Also if you gave the Equalists daggers/swords, it wouldn't be near as cool.

The art book is absolutely fantastic, The Lost Adventures is probably worth the ten bucks solely for a handful of the stories (24 pages of WANG FIRE!), and The Promise is either pretty good or absolutely god-awful depending on what happens in Part 3, which comes out in September.

legsarerequired posted:

My friend has a theory that Korra isn't actually the avatar, but just a bender who can bend multiple elements. It's compelling to me and I really like the idea, but the show seems to have established pretty firmly that regular benders can only bend one element. What are everyone else's thoughts on this?

You can tell your friend that M. Night Shyamalan has nothing to do with Legend of Korra, so it is very unlikely that that there are people who can bend more than one element, except for the Avatar.
