Non-Korra-related:

You know, I really always wanted to like Mai. Like Ty Lee and Suki, she's a non-bender who manages to hold her own (and then some) against benders. She just never has any really poignant or meaningful moments until the Boiling Rock, when the show is really almost over. You get these little hints, like when Azula denied the trade of King Bumi to get her baby brother back and Mai gave her an evil side-eye, but overall she was mostly just "the sullen teenage girl who doesn't want to do anything" so she didn't get much character, which was kind of pitifully explained away by my parents' expectations. By the time she throws herself under the bus to save Zuko, you don't even really care. She's basically just a plot device at that point, same as the Yu Yan archers were, and they promptly disappeared in Season 1 after the single episode in which they were needed.

I really hope they'll actually do something interesting with her in The Promise.

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.

Right? Seeing that was rad as hell. When the series closed, he was still a shrinky dink, so seeing him all grown up is awesome. He got mad tall!

If he doesn't do the marble trick I will be extremely disappointed.

It doesn't have to be his actual sage advice to her, but it still needs to happen.

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'm not understanding the people who are saying that bending is not a right. They are born with it. It is theirs, by whatever quirk of fate. The only way to even utilize it effectively is to train hard to master the element. How can it be considered a privilege just because some people aren't born with the ability?

I think we'll probably see a lot more examples of the iniquity between the bending class and nonbenders, but there are plenty of examples already of opportunities existing for nonbenders. One example someone used earlier in the thread was that metalbender police positions are obviously unattainable for nonbenders, but the cop who chased off Korra in the park was most likely a nonbender (or he'd have been able to subdue her).

I'm actually surprised at the amount of people defending Amon's position, and also at the amount of shockingly stupid theories of what is to come. This thread got weird fast.

I'm actually pretty tickled that people are analyzing and critically discussing the plot and character motivations better than most threads for serious dramas on this board. If you just want to laugh at goofy fanart and argue about who the best character is there's always the entire rest of the internet.

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad it's not yet another haven for weirdos who just want to see ZOMG LOVE TRIANGLE, but it's unsettling in its own way at times.

The introduction of that new girl was really, really awkward and she seems to only exist to force an inevitable love triangle subplot and resolve the 'no money' plot.

Hit by scooter -> Ow, that hurt -> Oh, let's go on a date, tee-hee -> My daddy can give you sponsorship money -> Aw, let's talk about our backstories and console one another over our dead parents.

Exactly how many days did this episode take place over? It seems like they've known each other for like, two days. drat.

Also, why is it that almost every young character has to have at least one dead parent? Aang (if you count Gyatso, but all of his people were killed which presumably includes his parents), Katara, Sokka, Zuko, Azula, all the Freedom Fighters, Teo, Bolin, Mako, Asami...seriously. And even the ones who had both parents came from oppressive home lives, like Toph, Mai, and Ty Lee. It seems like Korra is the only one exempt from this.

All I'm saying is the Mommy/Daddy Issues thing is a liiiiiittle overused here.

Yeah, feels like Korra is the only one with a mom and dad that are still around.

Still, name ANY animated ANYTHING where one of the character's parents isn't either dead, divorced, missing, or acts like a kid themselves.

Right, but it's different when it's the whole main cast. I mean, I know there had to be some way to make the parents uninvolved in their kids' lives so they can all go dick around across the globe, but it at least made sense in TLA because of the war. That moment with Asami and Mako was somewhat reminiscent of when Zuko and Katara were captured in the catacombs under Ba Sing Sei. In TLA, the scene was presented as a sudden understanding between two people who were enemies. Since there was no immediate follow-up with Asami and Mako, I'm hoping there's something interesting planned there.

Also, congrats to the writers for providing a burgeoning romance even more uncomfortable to watch than Zuko and Mai. I didn't think it was possible, really.

I'm still wrapping my head around Tarlok literally leading that SWAT style raid. It's like Arnie kept in shape and every time there's a drug bust he's literally on the front page in full gear smiling winningly at the cameras. It's, well, oddly charismatic. Tarlok is conniving, is into political power, but he's evidently no coward.

That's the interesting bit. The way he strong-armed Korra into joining his force and publicly standing by his side, you figure it had to be a power play. But at the end of it, he was a part of the task force himself, and Korra even gave him props for his skills.

I imagine things will hit an epic point when Korra is able to connect with the Spirit World. We'll see Aang again and find out a little bit more from his other adventures. He'll hopefully be able to impart some good advice to Korra, too - likely something along the lines of "stop being such a meathead!"

I think you are forgetting how Aang was super ultra angsty for half of an entire season and then went into angst mode off and on right up until the last episode.

Also he was 12 and crushing on Katara the whole show and it was just so

to watch. Between that and Zuko & Mai "You're so beautiful when you hate the world.", TLA was pretty crap at romance. Sokka was the only one who had any normal semblance of a love life, and HIS first girlfriend turned into the moon!

Sokka and Suki ended up having a pretty good dynamic, though. He learned to respect strong women, grew as a character for knowing her, and got the girl in the end. Plus that scene with the tent and Zuko is hilarious.

Oh good, I'm not the only one who had this thought. When he was going in for the match with the other Wolfbats, I saw his blue sash and realized he was a waterbender, but he looks like a vampire compared to Korra, Katara, Sokka, and every other waterbender...except the swamp dudes!

Would be sweet if he was and his parents were there at the final match in nothing but leaves because pants are an illusion and he'd be all like "YOU GUYS ARE SO EMBARRASSING!"

I like Asami I don't want her to secretly be a spy

How? She's literally nothing. Her and Mako both are like Mai -- or at least how Mai was until the second to last episode of TLA. There are a few factoids about them that make up their "characters," but there is no real substance there yet to like or dislike.

I hope she is a spy. That would be awesome, even if it was a bitch move. Like how you never actually disliked Azula because she was actually really badass and had some pretty good quips.

And I hope she's a misguided quasi-Equalist who doesn't want to de-bend anyone but wants to stand up for the non-bending population proles.

I do hope we'll get to see a little more rational, partial support of the Equalists' cause. People who don't want to hurt anyone, they just want equal representation on the city council and such. So far it's pretty much been fanatic nutjobs.

Bolin's imitation of the announcer is hilarious.

Also, Pabu is 100% scene stealing material. When Amon came on the radio, he scuttled off nervously and ADORABLY. It's so subtle compared to most of the animal interaction, and really well done. Now if they ever made him do a ferret war dance at his enemies, that would be just perfect.

Holy loving poo poo what did I just watch

Everything about that episode was spectacular. We got a boatload of character development, the equalist plot exploded, and the poo poo that was already real got realer.

I can't remember the last time I said "Oh holy poo poo" and did big animated physical reactions to a TV show, but I had a bunch of those in this episode. Korra's awesome 1v1 () and the last 4 minutes of the episode was pretty much me saying "Goddamn" or "holy poo poo" non-stop.

Goddamn.

Right? I spent half the episode waving my arms around like a moron. Also my neighbors must thing I'm nuts for screaming gently caress YEAH so much. I love when Korra easily kicked the poo poo out of Tahno one-on-one. His team only wins because they cheat and pay off the refs, and his actual skillz clearly do not pay the billz.

And Pabu saves the day. Of course he does.

randombattle posted:

I think the biggest problem with probending is turns all the fights into slap fights and takes out all the intelligent moves out of bending fights. In the original a fight would have like earth benders throwing walls up and turning the dirt to quicksand and water benders tossing ice walls that collapse back into water and flood someone. It was more dynamic and fights ended up being more about outsmarting the opponent into showing an opening and not just "I can toss this disk better then you can."

I think of it like boxing versus an anything-goes style fight, where there are some constraints on what you can and can't do to ensure it's a clean fight. In the case of pro-bending, the rules are in place to make sure dirty poo poo (like headshots, holding, massive flame/water attacks, etc.) doesn't happen that would make it suck to watch because it would end really quickly.

Man, I can't wait to see HD stills of the flashbacks. And I know those sequences are building up to something. Something awesome.

Amon called the Wolfbats "the best in the bending world", which is I'm pretty sure is a false equivalence (I could be wrong, I'm not good at arguments). Pretty sure winning a bending game doesn't make you the best bender in the world.

Yeah, but it was clearly meant as "these are the ones you uphold over all others (as champions) and they're just a bunch of assholes who flout the rules to get ahead." It was basically holding up the entire institution of bending to the light, using the cheating-rear end Wolfbats as representatives for all benders, who in Amon's view use their bending to "cheat" their way to the top.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm having a hell of a time connecting with Amon on any level. A good antagonist usually has something you can relate to, but he's just a raging stinkyhole 100% of the time.

You could understand where Zuko was coming from, which dovetailed into Azula, which dovetailed into Ozai. With Amon it's just "gently caress all of you forever" and I can't even work up the emotion to hate his character. All I get is an intense disliking of everything he's involved in.

His methods and rhetoric don't even seem like they'd fly with most non-benders. He skipped straight from protesting to violent revolution, and you've gotta work up to that poo poo.

Agreeing with this. Amon's the perfect rear end in a top hat and I'm really enjoying unabashedly hating him. I'm sure he's got some good points, which we haven't seen much proof of yet, but he just comes off as very bitter, to the point where it's a little pathetic. I mean, if I was a nonbender in that stadium, I'd have booed the poo poo out of him for wrecking up the place and giving that

sanctimonious speech. He assumes every nonbender feels the same way about benders as he does, or that they should. He's willing to trample any nonbender who doesn't fall in line, nevermind that he's supposedly trying to protect their interests.

This kind of pisses me off because I think it would be a lot better if it was a firebender for Amon, an Earthbender for Mako/Bolin, and a Waterbender for Asami. It would just fit in with the narrative of "benders of all kinds have the potential to be assholes."

You have to imagine what the Fire Nation would be like post-war. A massive army suddenly recalled from battles and occupations in the Earth Kingdom, with most of the nation still believing fire to be the superior element and that they should rule over the other two remaining nations. How do you change a people that has spent the past 100 years aggressively warring with the rest of the world into a peaceful society? What do you think would happen to all those former Fire Nation soldiers who have no other skills, having spent their whole lives training as elite firebenders to serve in the army? Of course a good deal of them turned to criminal violence.

FronzelNeekburm posted:

P.S. Aside from turning into Bat-fong, why would you give up your airships etc. to take Amon down OUTSIDE THE LAW, unless you suspect Tarlokk of being a snake in the grass?

Because she can't do what she needs to do within the bounds of the law, and she can't focus on protecting civilians and taking down Amon (who seems to have no compunction against endangering non-sympathetic nonbenders) at the same time. And besides, the airships and teams of law enforcement clearly haven't helped, they've only ended up as targets in the line of fire. When fighting a versatile, merciless terrorist group, traditional forces aren't going to cut it. Looking forward to seeing Lin and her crack team in action.

And as an aside, this episode officially marks the moment where I have begun to completely despise Mako. This is the second episode he's pulled the whole

I guess I have a hard time understanding what she can't do, since she can just sail a blimp anywhere in the city and just bust into people's training camps/warehouses/factories on rumors and the Avatar's say-so.

She didn't bust into the Equalists training camp, that was Tarlok. And they mentioned that the cops were tipped off about Cabbage Corp, so I assume there was a warrant procedure there. Still, there are plenty of things police can't do that need to be done in a situation like this, not to mention the red tape (like warrants) that stands in the way when you're doing things by the books. Better just to become vigilante Spider-Fong and do what you gotta do -- like busting skulls.

I do find it interesting that in the very first episode she despised Korra coming into the city and doling out vigilante justice Avatar style, but now she feels forced to resort to the same tactics to rescue her metalbenders and take down Amon. All this as she's beginning to warm up to Korra. Hooray character development!

Well poo poo.

Haven't been checking the thread, but have we all agreed that Amon is Aang yet? Because he totally is.

I think Korra being the Avatar can be explained by Aang, being the only bender to take away another's bending (end of the first series), removed his own bending. The removal of his own bending instigated the birth of a new Avatar rather than his death, as it is required an Avatar be a master of all the elements.

Calico Heart posted:

Hey buddy you're dumb.

Then there's the fact that after two of her encounters with him she's seen flashbacks to Aang's life. Maybe Aang and Amon where close friends at one point and Aang taught Amon to take away bending for whatever reason

Your theories are awful.

Just got the chance to watch today's episode. I'm starting to get rather annoyed at Korra and Crew getting their asses handed to them in every engagement. Might as well just have everyone get debended right now, since bending seems to do jack and poo poo anymore.

You gotta cut them some slack, who expected loving platinum mechs to show up? There's some poo poo no one has ever seen before. It took them a bit to figure out the weak spots, but they were outnumbered and getting shocked with electricity before they really had a chance to take any of them down.

Not gonna lie, though, it was pretty dumb of them to go down into that tunnel without more reinforcements. It was like watching the terrified white woman run outside in a horror movie. BITCH YOU'RE GONNA GET KILLED.

While perfectly reasonable as an explanation, it's one we've had to use 3 times in 7 episodes for why Korra and co get their asses kicked. First it was she never met chi blockers, next it was new gloves and they got the drop on them, now it's giant robots and the got the drop of them. It's an escalating conflict but I am getting a bit tired of the antagonists constantly winning.

Yeah, I don't know how the metalbending cops at the tournament didn't remember that the Equalists had lightning sticks, at least. They should have taken measures against electric shock as a precaution, since electricity had been used in addition to chi-blocking before.

Why exactly is it weird that people become emotionally invested in two characters romancing one another, but not weird when they care about them fighting or becoming friends or basically any other kind of social interaction? People like (character X) and (character Y) and hope the interaction goes in a certain way.

The difference between a fan and a shipper is that a fan is emotionally invested in the characters with hopes as to what will happen next, and a shipper is a rabid fan who disregards some canon events and interprets others specifically to support their pet theory that two (or more) characters are in a romantic relationship. Often a hosed-up relationship.

Would firebenders be able to redirect the electricity from the taser gloves?

The tasers are so close range, and there seemed to be a very particular way to divert it that specifically used the hands as entry and exit points, so I doubt it in most cases. Now if Mako could grab one of the taser sticks/gloves and redirect it like that, it would possibly work, if he even knew the technique.

I tried looking it up on the Avatar wiki, but the Earth Kingdom is dumb. Politics in Avatarworld are dumb.

The Earth Kingdom is described as a single country with multiple kings. The Water Tribe(s) is/are all completely crazy. In the old series, the Southern Water Tribe was literally a few boats of dudes and their wives/children. They get equal representation on the Republic City Council as the Earth Kingdom, which is bigger than all the other nations put together. Plus after that big siege, the Northern and Southern tribes started mingling again, but they still get two seats on the Council. The Fire Nation is the only one that makes sense!

Actually, I think that would be Toph. Aang evolves as the series goes on, Toph kind of always stay the same.

Poor Naga. Also, Bolin thinks he's Batman. Also, yeah for using the Equalists' weapons against them!

Haha, when she pulled up to them in the car, all I could think was "Get in, losers, we're going shopping."

I'm psyched that Asami's becoming a real character. The last ep pretty much showed Korra letting go of any remaining hope for a dumb thing with Mako in the last scene, so I think it paves the way for an actual friendship with Asami and the development of her character as something more than love rival/conveniently rich. I totally want to see some race scenes with bending incorporated.
