Uh, why did this get moved out of the anime section?
Uh, why did this get moved out of the anime section?
i merged the threads and moved it here since it is an american tv show
Assassin was butthurt he had just found out about Korra and got told by Marik.Originally Posted by animus
Well is there a guideline that says it should be in this section (since it is American) as opposed to General Anime (since it is an animation) especially considering the original Avatar: The Last Airbender thread was in the General Anime section?

This isn't an anime. Stop spergin' out over it.
If you're gonna be anal about it then the thread's title should also be "TV: The Legend of Korra".
Actually no. the full name is infact "The Last Airbender: The Legend of Korra". Also, it doesn't matter?
I dunno about the original series, but it's not anime so it belongs here. The guideline being logic.Well is there a guideline that says it should be in this section (since it is American) as opposed to General Anime (since it is an animation) especially considering the original Avatar: The Last Airbender thread was in the General Anime section?
On a more productive note, i've decided to rewatch the original series in anticipation of the new one. The world they created really is so detailed.....makes me wanna ride elephant coy.

This is pretty fucking ominous, if you think about it.
Not sure if legit
I talked about this in IRC, but pro-bending is probably the most well thought out and believable fake sport. That shit puts Quidditch to shame.
That no hitting the roof law is totally gonna come into play in one of Korra's games.
More like the foul of, "Intentionally hitting the referee stand, or a referee, with an element." This is Korra we're talking about.
I am impressed at all the safety and fairness rules involving specific bending. I was wondering why Korra never used ice. It would make sense to do so (either on an opponent or on oneself), but obviously open up the potential for one's opponent/self getting seriously harmed by subsequent earthbending.

pretty kool. looks like they thought this out
was anyone else reminiscent of HxH battle tower in the moments before Korra learned to dance?
also, the polar bear dog has bigger, stronger front legs than the back legs. it seems like a bad natural design.
Of course, I'm still impressed, going to watch the two episodes again later tonight.

You know the important distinction between Batman and me? Batman is fictional. In real life, there isn't always an alternative.
Chapter 3: The Revelation
Edit: I'm starting to like this series. And it seems someone was spot on.

Now... we can click as warriors... button to button, it is the basis of all internet.
Only a fool trusts his life to a virus.
Muahahaha, praise me more!
So it seems lightning and metal bending are fairly common knowledge these days. As such, i expect even greater things of today's top benders.
I assume that these skills are common because they require some familiartiy with other bending styles (water for lightning, and maybe fire for metal).
I wasn't too sold on this episode, I think it was too rushed.
My theory is that the energy-bending and anti-bender movement is a ruse, a distraction to the raise of an additional avatar - another person who can bend all elements, (considering that Mako and Bolin are blood brothers and bend different elements, I don't think it's impossible). I suspect the anti-avatar is trying to diffuse the opposition - other benders who have the potential to multi-bend.
also, I only understood now that "triad"s isn't just because of the hong-kong setting, but also because they have people from the three bending styles.

Does this kind of make anyone think of the rise of communism? Kind of how the Fire Nation was Fascist in ATLAB?
I appreciate things like Amon's revolution not being "let's kill all the benders because they're so bad" or the fact that Korra is indeed using her privilege to oppress the street preacher guy, and I hope Amon's backstory isn't something comically evil (his stated backstory is almost certainly fake). He is already a more fleshed out villain than Firelord Ozai though, who was just a crazy genocidal monster.
Anyone notice Korra's ridiculous strength? Not only can she lift a guy off the ground with one hand but she tosses the goon at the Equalist meeting around like it's nothing, despite him weighing probably twice as much as her. Girl is boss as fuck.
The other thing she's got going for her is that she's not stupid (most of the time). One thing I really appreciated was that when she was responsible for providing the diversion, she deliberately did not use bending in front of the big dude. She was just twisting the handwheels to get it out, and then she used regular martial arts with her sash to knock him out. Only after there were no potential witnesses did she use waterbending to move the steam.
Didn't help hide anything in the end, but it's nice to know that for ever door she belligerently kicks in, she also knows when to use a little discretion.
Also, Lance Henriksen voicing Amon's second in command. So awesome.
