These new villains look promising; I'm pretty optimistic at this point.

Did they think we didn't like Dante's voice enough?

They probably thought he didn't sound "old" enough.

AWESOME ending hook. This season could be so good!

It really does benefit from binge watching. You know if it had aired once a week there would be much complaining about how annoying Kai is or how boring the first episode was. But when you watch multiple episodes at once it's easier to see how all those things fit together into the overarching plot. This season I'll try to watch 2-3 episodes at a time instead of following from week to week.

Saw something on tumblr which seemed to make sense what if the new villans are the reason Korra was couped up in one place for her training?

Interesting theory, that would make a lot of sense. Something done out of necessity goes a little too far, leading to negative consequences.

That finale was incredible. Part of me hopes Ghazan faked his death and goes to live quietly under another identity somewhere in the Earth Kingdom (maybe Ming-Hua too but she seemed a little too batshit crazy).

I mean that scene almost had to be intentional. "If you want to talk... or anything" as Asami holds Korra's hand after dressing her. I know I'm a pervert who sees innuendo everywhere, but that's got to be intentional.

Why are there always so many creepy idiots in the Korra threads. Do you remember that person who said the show was clearly showing hentai and tentacle rape influences after the season 2 premiere?

This show either needs to stick to the lighter tone of TLA or go full badass. I'll give the writers points for creative bending this season: Sucking the air out of someone; forcing mercury through someone's skin; someone's head exploded (which, I guess, sort of happened in TLA, but that was more of a cartoony "UH OH!!~~" moment). Oh, and then your protagonist is paralyzed and the last shot of your finale is a close-up of her in tears.. I'm not saying the tone is bad. I like that the show has a darker tone with more mature characters. But you can't have Bolyn making (really bad) jokes and Bumi doing retarded poo poo and the little bald kid eating his snot and THEN have all of the dark poo poo in the same episode.


Yeah the constant LOL SO RANDOM bullshit with Bolin and Bumi really created some mood whiplash. It's often poorly timed. More importantly, it's not necessary. It's possible to do kid-friendly humor that is clever, fits with the tone, and is funny for adults too. Look at A:TLA. Look at Disney or Pixar films. Hell, even early Spongebob had that kind of humor.

I understood it in a "remember these minor characters who we're also fighting for" way, but I didn't find it particularly cute or funny.
