Fifty Three posted:Episode 2 is titled "Korra Alone." Now that makes me excited. Honestly if they just retraced that episode with Korra instead of Zuko, I'd still be incredibly happy.

Oh awesome, I thought that was just Tumblr speculation! So what's the likelihood Korra will go through Wan's final battlefield like Zuko did? Might be a nice connection to both the original episode and Wan.

Let's hope it's as good as Zuko Alone. Ravane posted:Oh look, the new Korra's out. Wow it's pretty good. Let's check out what the thread has to say... I have no excuse; I'm a horrible person.

I think this is the swamp episode Also, she's in that torn up Earth uniform and has the bruised eye when she says "I cant believe it... Toph?" in the trailer

The swamp could just be the final destination of a lot of wandering. Also, who's to say that she'll meet Toph in this episode, or even only visit the swamp once?

Dude, that episode was the loving best in all of AtLA. If this is half as good I'll be more than satisfied.

I think the Avatar universe lends itself better to dice rolls, though if you want to use the DND system (depends if it's 3, 3.5 or 4), then you need to dedicate time to writing rules and tables for all four elements.

Is book 3 any good? I've not watched anything since book 2 and hadn't realized book 3 had even finished yet.

CalvinandHobbes posted:Zuke alone was the first episode of avatar I watched. got me hooked immediately. Same. I love taking a single episode every once in a while to really flesh out a character or a dynamic between two characters. It's why I loved season 3 of AtLA so much -- a good chunk of it was stories that didn't progress the story along because they were in a waiting period, but developed the characters a lot. The Painted Lady, Sokka's master, the Zuko field trips, all good stuff. I'm eagerly anticipating a gritty Korra-puts-her-head-down-and-gets-on-with-it ep this week.

Just watch all the episodes. No point in missing out on anything because it's better to watch season 2 first before moving onto season 3 and enjoying better quality.hiddenriverninja posted:Sorry it's the mobile link, but here is a preview for this week's episode. Korra channeling The Last Boy Scout here. Let's just hope she can have a speedy recovery and not go full Azula. Uncle Kitchener fucked around with this message at 02:08 on Oct 9, 2014 |

I cannot for the life of me understand how anyone ever liked Zuko Alone. The only reason that isn't the worst episode of the series is because Great Divide and the Painted Lady exist.

I think I enjoyed The Puppetmaster more than Zuko Alone. Actually, aside from it being the episode about Zuko, I can't really remember much about it that really moved me. I liked The Drill and the finale of Season 2 a lot more, I think.

What's the Great Divide? You guys have mentioned it several times. Was it a place from the Original Avatar? Was that where Aang fought the giant bugs?

Drifter posted:What's the Great Divide? You guys have mentioned it several times. Was it a place from the Original Avatar? Was that where Aang fought the giant bugs? Yup. It's pretty widely considered one of the absolute worst filler/non-essential episodes from the first series. Hell, even the guy Kyoshi killed in Avatar Day at least got a passing mention in the finale.

Plus Avatar Day had Kyoshi.  The Great Divide had that interesting stylized animation sequence and I never really viewed it as bad as most others do. It just wasn't really a memorable episode.

Even the Great Divide had a couple moments, like "Experts tell us that this canyon was most likely carved by earth spirits who were angry at not receiving proper sacrifices", and the whole "do a traditional kids' show episode with a moral only badly subvert it" seen a few times in the early series. But still, those were just moments.

The Great Divide was an episode from season 1 of ATLA, and also the name of the location of that episode. It's the only episode in the entire series that does not include anything that develops the main plot, and its writing is uncharacteristically trite. They make a joke about it during an extended recap near the end of season 3. It's not that bad, and in fact from an animation standpoint it's pretty interesting, but it's the worst episode, and the problems with it are extreme versions of the weaknesses of the first season altogether.

If you look at the ratings guide to AtLA there's actually a Great Divide in the graph. Also it's from the "today's lesson" phase where it's still a kids show and the lesson is that lying to avoid conflict is totally a-ok. They made a joke about skipping it in the parody episode because literally everyone hated it.

Parody episode? Is that in the normal seasons of A:TLA? I would've sworn I'd seen all of the episodes, but I don't remember a parody one.

thexerox123 posted:The Ember Island Players, in season 3. They go to see Avatar Aang: the musical, basically. Oh, I thought the musical play one was pretty funny. I remember that, I just didn't register it specifically as being a parody episode. Just a riff on the legendary status and the liberties taken with storytelling and word of mouth. Maybe I should rewatch the series anyway though, it's been a few years. It's funny how much better TLA is compared to Legend of Korra (based on what I remember and enjoyed). I did stop with season 2 of Korra, however. You guys seem to like Season 3, though, so I might just check it out. I thought this new season seems at least fun. I liked the first episode. The quality of character writing and general plotting between LoK and TLA is rather large overall, in my opinion, sadly. The ideas of Korra were really interesting. I think it'd be great if Season 4 stays strong. Drifter fucked around with this message at 07:41 on Oct 9, 2014 |
