I noticed the map in Kuvira's train car had empty "slots" for the provinces Aang allotted from the Earth Kingdom to Republic City after the war. She definitely has imperial ambitions, and I think she intends to press her claim by force once she has a hold over the legitimate heir to the Earth Kingdom's throne.

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.

It wasn't a parody, it was a recap, done in a really good and creative way.

It totally was a parody as well as a recap. The two are hardly mutually exclusive. In retells the story but does so in a humorous way that mocks or exaggerates certain parts of the story (Zuko's obsession with honor, Iroh's laidback nature, The Great Divide, Sokka's bad jokes, the Zutara shippers, etc.). It's pretty much the definition of parody in fact. Maybe you're thinking a parody is supposed to be more insulting or scathing to the original work? But that's not the case at all.

Yeah, the BEST parodies love the thing they are mocking. Like Shaun of the Dead or Spaceballs.

Yeah, what I should have said was it wasn't just a parody. It was a parody, a clipshow, a recap, and emotional exposition all at once. Not many shows could pull that off.

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 wouldn't say it's one of the worst episodes, but I think it's only as popular as it is because serious/brooding villain-focused episodes are like nerdnip.

Apparently there's going to be a voice-acting booth where you can play one of the characters in a scene and get an insight into how the voicework in Korra is done. I'm torn between thinking this is awesome and thinking it's cringeworthy.

I don't know. If they have it setup with the scene with the airbender shut-in guy who's mom is desperately trying to force him out of the home, I think we'd see some drat good acting.

The Korra Nation Tumblr reports that you can watch the Korra panel at 5:15 ET today (2:15 Pacific) live on Twitch.tv, or click this link:

http://www.newyorkcomiccon.com/Events/NYCCLive/

and then click on the Empire Stage.

You can also watch it directly from the Twitch app on iOS and Android.

:golfclap:

They'll probably have some of the scenes they live-acted at a panel a few years back--some pro-bending or romantic scenes for the Tumblr crowd.

ETA: Apparently Jessie Flower will be there signing autographs. She's officially credited for her roles as Toph Beifong and Melon Lord. :allears:

I did stop with season 2 of Korra, however. You guys seem to like Season 3, though, so I might just check it out.

Book 3 is the best Korra by far, I hope Book 4 can match it.

Apparently one can play Bolin in a scene with Eska (WHY?) and Aang in a scene with Katara.
