I also really liked Kuvira's metalbending style. It looks really hard and precise, perfect for a metalbender. Actually it kind of reminded me of Toph's style of earthbending, with the hands held out like that.

I was reminded of the Dai Li from last season. Just with metal straps instead of stone claws.

I wonder why Pabu had to stay behind? He's not exactly hard to transport like Naga.

Guessing same reason Bolin changed his hair.

I'd really like the next episode to just be Korra. I think the journey she's been on though the past three years is worthy of its own episode and will be more affecting on its own.

I think the next episode will begin with the book 4 preview from earlier, where the group saw her leaving Republic City, and the rest of the episode will follow Korra.

The final movie hasn't come out yet. Should I go back and watch the anime or should I avoid it and rely on the superior reboot? (I only saw one episode of FMA before I binge watched FMAB) Is it true that the old movies already retconned the first ending? Can I watch things out of order and rely on dbz boom-pow/ oooh_aaaah retard continuity?

Watch the first two reboot movies and ignore everything that comes after

Meanwhile, my friend continues to toil on a total conversion of D&D to Avatar. I think it's a fruitless endeavor--Avatar just doesn't lend itself to the type of combat that D&D encourages.

Man, talk about a wasted effort.

Book 2 gets flak as the worst season but it's still watchable. I'd say watch episodes 1-2, 7-8, and the finale. Book three owns and watch all of it.

Just watch the whole thing, none of this nonsense.

I'm debating whether I want her to reconnect with her past lives again. I think it's possible--I think Raava could remember them as she grows stronger after Harmonic Convergence, but I'm afraid it would feel wrong after seeing Korra's journey since Book 2 and the storytelling devices used to facilitate that.

Korra making up with the Raava does not mean reconnecting with her past lives.

Yea I get the impression everyone in this setting reincarnates, they just don't have a spirit linking them to their past lives.

They really wasted Cabbage corp when they turned it into the inferior conglomerate. It would have been funnier if the company was proficient in cabbage GMOs (via swamp benders) joined with the rogue pieces of Varrick Industries that weren't seized by the state/signed over to Asami and finally died as a fifth column that went Ukraine Oligarch and fought for the EK. The cabbages must be avenged whether in this life or the next.

The biggest threats facing Korra in the last three seasons were external, but in this one it's coming to terms with herself and her failings as a person. It's an artistic choice.

She lost a lot of fights in season 1. At this point she shouldn't really lose fights. She's the Avatar. She defeated the spiritual manifestation of chaos and destruction; she should be able to take down some metalbender with a cool outfit.

Shame these seasons are so short; season three was the first time anyone really gave a hoot about the villains and now we have a protagonist on their side.

If they had let Ghazan and Ming Hua escape we could have seen Red Lotus vs. Earth Empire

Toph straight-up said that she needs to bend the metal out of herself so it probably will.

Also that a metalbending novice is supposed to achieve a level of expertise that her own daughters never did.

Also she's the avatar so.

Baron Bifford posted:

ATLA was a show where young teenagers in a matter of months achieve a level of mastery that surpassed most adult masters. It can happen.

They pointed out in the show that the Avatar has mastered standard bending hundreds of times over, which isn't the case with metalbending. Also she can no longer receive the guidance of her past lives.

Meelo, though, was weird. I mean, where did he get those obnoxious views? It's not like Tenzin socialised him into "be a MAN, put down your sisters". It felt like pushing a stereotype onto a character that can't really support it.Badly written. The delivery only made it worse.

He goes to Republic City Public School

I don't remember any prison camps? I don't know, she seems to have a lot of popular support among the general populace - she has reunited the Earth Nation and kept the bandits from taking everything like they used to do.

It was mentioned offhand in a conversation between Raiko and Tenzin.
