Beating people up with the Spirit Korra costume and the Shadow Fist item is pretty rad. Also bought the health regen item so everything is a breeze now (on Normal at least).

All the older Water Tribe guys come to Katara on full moons for help with their ED. No wonder the tribe seems to have grown in size so quickly.

According to IMDB episode 5 is called A New Threat. Maybe related to Varrick's spirit vine shenanigans? I really hope they aren't introducing a new villain.

Kuvira will, in all likelihood, not be the final villain of Korra. If they're ending the series I would imagine it'll be something more cosmic or world ending in scale.

Spirit nukes unleash an eldritch monster of untold power and destruction, and ONLY THE AVATAR, with the power of all four elements, can stop it and restore balance to the world

TheKingofSprings posted:Kuvira will, in all likelihood, not be the final villain of Korra. If they're ending the series I would imagine it'll be something more cosmic or world ending in scale. I've seen speculation on Tumblr that Varrick will be trying to use his spirit vine sample to activate the spirit vines in Republic City. If Kuvira is trying to take over the United Republic, using the vines as her weapon could be the threat. I don't necessarily think there needs to be an epic cosmic big bad for the final season: we got that in book 2 and any more will be repetitive. Kuvira's been set up explicitly as a challenge to Korra personally, and since this season has been about Korra overcoming her doubts I don't see how adding another overarching villain will add to the show in any way. Besides, who could it be without coming completely out of nowhere?

Could happen, but if it did it would be an even lamer version of Unalaq--at least he had Vaatu, the yang to the Avatar Spirit's yin, possessing him. Really, the only other villain I would have any desire to see besides Kuvira would be Koh, and Koh doesn't seem the possessing type.

We don't have to spoiler-block speculation. And yeah, if anyone's gonna get evil-spirited, it'll probably be Kuvira. And then, since this season is has gone full-blown Square*Enix about things, they'll get to recreate the climax of Parasite Eve.

But they can merge with people or steal their physical attributes permanently. And people can apparently become spirits if they drink enough tea.

In either case, unless you wanted to be spoiled, why did you click on the spoiler tag? If I had gone "spoiler for the game" then it still would have spoiled it in context. I specifically didn't mention game spoilers for that reason, although I guess it's too late now.

Like, I'm honestly kind of confused what you wanted unless you're specifically upset that you got spoiled on the game when you expected to get spoiled on an upcoming episode.

Still, chill the gently caress out about spoilers, especially when it was hardly crucial to the actual plot of a thing that hardly has a plot and is like, 3 hours long.

Anyone having trouble with the game like I did, buy the health recharge talisman as soon as possible. The game becomes 1/5th as hard it used to be when your health auto-refills over time.

I hope Mako shoots lightning more often this season once they get to the fights. I literally forgot that he could do that the whole season because he made no use of it except once and it totally worked then.

Supposedly shooting lightning (especially high power lightning) is really taxing on the body and chi.

He was probably overwhelmed by Ming Hua and Ghazan during their fights and was concerned about just getting out--he probably forgot about it too until he was in the cavern.
