Raenir Salazar posted:I'm probably going to disappoint myself but I'm actually hoping that Wu turns out to be more keen then he lets on. Mako is a capable investigator and honourable to a fault, he's absolutely the best person for Wu to trust in protecting his life and providing him with decent advice and knows the Avatar. Wu is being treated as an amusing loser. Generally, the comic-relief characters tend to fare better and get treated with more sympathy even if they're evil (hi, Varrick!).

Varrick did turn out to be a keen survivalist though, he's pretty much in the inner circle of who is probably going to end up ruling the Earth Kingdom.

Metropolis posted:I have avoided the previews, but I am guessing Toph will train someone, Korra or Lin I guess, to "see" the way Toph can, through vibrations. Then when Kuvira uses her flying metal slap bracelets to blind them, they'll beat her through the power of unexpected feet-seeing. Carlosologist posted:I hope the third episode is the Team Avatar reunion, hopefully things aren't too strange between them. Harold Cooplowski posted:Does anyone think that Sokka is Suyin's dad now? I mean that guy Kuriva is engaged to (Suyin's son) looks exactly like him.

It's too small to show up on the map, but they do have the adjacent Chin Village. (The peninsula just under the red circle in the above image... Kyoshi Island is right beside that.)

If Chin couldn't get Kyoshi Island, Kuvira won't. She also skipped The Swamp too. I'm sure she saw all that hippy crap and decided to slowly back away.

Korra should be heading into the Swamp this season according to the trailer. Maybe this will coincide with Kuvira trying to take over the area.

I really do hope for an Omashu episode. I wanna see steampunk Omashu so bad, as well as the 100-foot statue of a mad-eyed King Bumi chomping on gennomite they must've commissioned.

Omashu was a such a fun design in ATLA. I'd love to see the Korra revamp of it.Sato posted:Korra should be heading into the Swamp this season according to the trailer. Maybe this will coincide with Kuvira trying to take over the area. Could be. The trailer also shows airbenders (I think Tenzin's kids) crashing into the swamp (as part of a search party for Korra?). They may just find her and convince her to go confront Kuvira.

Eh she said she was going for 100% completion, I'm sure we'll get all sorts of scenery nostalgia nerd porn this season. The real question is: Where the gently caress is Pabu??

SpiderHyphenMan posted:I don't think I understand your what your idea is. Elaborate? Bumi didn't have to retire. He could have just been given a token garrison to defend the last airbenders in existence. Instead they made him 100% a burden who had one purpose: complain about his daddy issues. After that was done they took away the weight behind his character by giving him powers he didn't need. The writers could have explored the same story by giving bending to a air acolyte, preferably a romantic subplot preteen. (Ikki could have been aged up without losing anything) Naturally I would have done something different with Kai, who might have worked better as a red lotus team pet.

Ikki could already airbend. And if she couldn't already, her "gaining" airbending wouldn't surprise anyone because she's Tenzin's daughter. Now where's that "glad no one here writes the show" post... gannyGrabber posted:The real question is: Where the gently caress is Pabu??

I'm still kind of holding out on the possibility that Hiroshi will reveal that he became what he hates when he makes his appearance this season, as cliche as it sounds.

Well, I do agree that he should have stayed badass like in his intro and not retire. He was the coolest thing in the season 1 finale.  I mean, he really let himself go really drat quickly huh? Maybe he could have stayed in the military and he and Iroh could have had more prominence working together? I'd have preferred that to his slightly annoying wackiness and whining about his daddy issues personally.

BrianWilly posted:Ikki could already airbend. And if she couldn't already, her "gaining" airbending wouldn't surprise anyone because she's Tenzin's daughter. That's not what I meant. The Air acolytes in this show have been depicted as groupies without giving us a hint of why they've chosen to leave their old lives. A young acolyte being given bending might lead to him lording it over others because of a ingrained inferiority complex. I mentioned Ikki because a few scenes showing him serving food or avoiding play would make sense if he considered himself servile and the easiest way to depict his character growth would be through a cliche kiddie romance. Ex: 1. I'm not good enough 2. Wow I'm good! 3. Look at me! See how I'm so good! 4. Rebuke and capture 5. Epiphany, rescue and acceptance

Toph was 12, like Aang. Why even use Ikki when we already have Jinora? Basically your entire fanfic (if it had to be done) (it doesn't), could be streamlined by simply making Kai the acolyte.
