Is there a "I'm the avatar and you gotta deal with it!" gif of little Korra bustin' through the wall?

Did a google search for Korra and one of the linked articles was titled "Nickelodeon plans more than 650 new episodes".  I nearly had a heart attack.Of course it turned out that was just the whole channel's lineup for the upcoming year. Too bad.

Simstim posted:I wonder if it is possible for Korra to have airbender children. Pretty sure she'll only have water bender kids, unless she ends up with a bender of a different element. After all Aang's kids were a water bender, a normal, and an air bender. No earth or fire bender despite the fact that he could use those elements.

Belmont Geoffrion posted:I don't know if it was posted in the last thread, but Sifu Kisu (the main martial arts consultant for both ATLA and Korra) linked to this really cool article on his tumblr. He goes pretty in depth about his involvement in the show and his own history with martial arts. It's a really cool read for anyone interested in the kung-fu aspect of the show. Wow, that interview is just awesome. It definitely deserves to be linked in the OP.

Baron Bifford posted:Exactly. This Amon fellow has certainly debated the brightest and most articulate intellectuals in Republic City. All revolutionary leaders do this. A naive teenager who spent her life at the North Pole isn't going to dent him or his political support. I figure Korra really should just kill him if she gets the opportunity - fighting is what she is good at. All that remains is to see if Amon is stupid to take on the Avatar in battle. Isn't she from the South Pole?

Killer robot posted:The new series is one that opens by raising the question of what place the Avatar has in a new world, and so Korra's question is what she needs to become in the first place. For all that she's known she was the Avatar for a very long time, she doesn't have the clear answer of what this means she should do that Aang did. The answer is obvious. She should fight crime in a polar beardog themed outfit.

SmokyWings posted:So are we sure that the only air benders are descended from Aang. Because there seems to be a lot of other monks in the temple. http://i.imgur.com/cSpJi.jpg I would think that over time, some of their children would be born as airbenders even if they're not related to Aang. After all, isn't there a spiritual component to it?

I thought that the different nations had different proportions of benders due to how spiritual the different populations where, or is that fanon I picked up somewhere?

So, I was wondering if maybe somehow Amon was using energy bending not just to strip the ability to bend from people, but to actually absorb their power himself. He's actually using the anti-bending movement as a means to this end. His end goal, to absorb the power of the avatar and rule the world like a God.

Baron Bifford^^^ It totally does. BrianWilly posted:Y'know something I found interesting? At the beginning of the first episode, when the White Lotus goes to visit Korra's family, you can noticeably see the lights of a bustling port city within walking distance from the Water Tribe igloos. It'd have taken maybe...twenty or thirty minutes at a brisk pace for the White Lotus to get from one place to another? It really does remind me of present-day tribal cultures that are living right on top of "modernized" societies...some might say encroaching on each other's space.

Lightning bending, and to a lesser extent metal bending seem rather common now. One wonders if Korra is going to end up picking them up.

It was made pretty clear that it was very difficult and dangerous by Iroh when he was teaching Zuko how to do it. He had no reason to lie to Zuko about it, why would you not believe it? I don't see where you'd jump to the conclusion that it was the upper class trying to keep out the lower classes, seems much much more likely that the technique was just refined over time until it was easier to learn.

skasion posted:To be honest, I was thinking something kind of like this too. Amon's story is weird, even if we assume he's not just completely pulling poo poo out of his rear end for the crowd's benefit. I could understand the extortionist threatening violence to the dad or his family to get him to pay up. The way Amon tells it, though he's implying that the guy killed everyone but him and then blasted his face off. Why? Was he hoping the kid was gonna be more inclined to cough up now that his face was bacon? What was he hoping to gain by extorting a bunch of poor farmers in the first place? Well the firebender could have assumed he was mortally wounded.

Chief Savage Man posted:Anyway, now that I have the context of the first series, I have a few questions about the setting in Korra. First of all, is Republic City a city-state or a capital of a larger nation or unified world government? Do the original four nations (minus Air Nomads) still exist? It's the Capital of the United Republic of Nations, which is a union of former Fire Nation Colonies in the Earth Kingdom. The formation of which is dealt with in the Comic "The Promise". The Northern Tribe sent settlers to help rebuild the South after the failed Fire Nation Attack on the North.

Decius posted:I haven't seen any instances of non-benders being marginalized because of their lack of bending yet. Homeless guy wasn't shown as being homeless because benders have taken his job or earthbend his house into a zoo or something for their Liongiraffes. Actually, in the welcome to Republic City flash tour it's specifically mentioned that bush man is homeless because radios replaced telegraphs. Just normal technological change.

Je suis fatigue posted:Given that we've finally seen some bending action, wouldn't it be cool if "modren styles of bending" are actually terrible and making everyone a worse bender? I think it would be cool, like no one is learning to do it properly so people are basically having slap fights with their bending instead of actually fighting. You saw Bolin in action right? He flat out sucked.
