It makes me think that Mai had an affair with the Earth King and told Zuko the child is his, exactly.

Is anyone able to translate what the new Earth Kingdom logo says?
We can only really see the first and last words clearly, but it looks to me that (actual probable spoilers incoming) the first word is 古 "ancient" and the last word is 統 "rule."

...Or so it may seem, unless we infer some context. 古, which is pronounced "Gu," is probably the phonetic first syllable of Kuvira's name. 總統, "overall-rule," is Chinese for "president."

So I believe the text is actually "President Kuvira."

I'm still on the fence about whether to watch this show. I wanted more avatar when this show first came out but seeing that trailer has made me even more apprehensive about watching it. One one hand it looks like some cool stuff has happened and will go down but on the other it feels like ATLA fan fiction.
Quit yer bawlin' and just watch it.

Y'all know that wingsuits are a real thing in the real world, right? (As opposed to mechs) (sadly)

If I controlled the winds, making suits like that would be the first drat thing I ever did. It's frankly a shock that it took the Air Nation this long to do it.

(Though being dead might have inhibited it a little)

I don't know why we're debating the source of the wingsuits when it's so blatant what they're actually ripping off.

Bryke has mentioned that everything ties together in the end so I'm guessing the Red Lotus isn't out of the game yet.

I'm more worried that Kuvira -- who's really awesome so far -- will pull an Unalaq :saddowns: and ends up being the one who sent the bandits after Kai and Opal, just so the governor has no choice but to turn to her protection.

My greatest random inconsequential wish for this season is for Opal to be the one who invents soundbending, by utilizing metalbending techniques she grew up surrounded by.

PaulDirac posted:

So, is it me or do the animations look a little less fluid than they used to? I wasn't quite sure but some of the scenes didn't seem to have as many frames as they should have. Or maybe im mistaken.

Seemed fine to me. Gifs can be terrible at depicting fps correctly, but here are some anyway for reference.

(not that the entire episode looks like that)

Thinking about it though, haven't Aang and Ikki amplified their voices in the past? I'm not sure if that's formal soundbending though.
Yeah, Tenzin has done it too. The way they did it was pretty much just "use a lot of air to make big loud noise"; real soundbending might be like sonic attacks, a "canary cry," or maybe something like surrounding yourself with a bubble of silence.

I can dream.

I thought the one with the broken horn was Lefty, the Bison that Kai and Opal were riding in this episode.
Naw. Lefty was the baby one Kai befriended three years ago when the airbenders rescued him from the bison eaters.

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...

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.

Excellent episode, but am I the only one who thought Katara was being hella condescending?

The point is that she had overcome trauma before.
How does that help Korra? Like, this girl's in the intensive care unit trying to learn how to dress herself without help and Katara's like "I know your life sucks right now, but hey, try fighting a war! I've totes been in your shoes before!"

Like, I get the point of the scene, it just felt super patronizing.

You know, it's beyond me why Toph went into law enforcement. She never really struck me as the type to be all about creating/maintaining social order in ATLA (but then again, she was just a kid in that series) and I always imagined her doing something more akin to what Tenzin aspired to do: wander around the world, maybe teaching new benders.

Do we know how the metal bending school was started? Did Toph just show up in Republic City, pull up a giant building out of the earth, and then said "I'm a metal bender, DEAL WITH IT."
It started just as a normal martial arts school located a bit outside Yu Dao (which was the original spot where Republic City began) with a bunch of underdog students. The police of Yu Dao were the ones who approached Toph about learning metalbending.

That all happened. The stuff with the police is happening in the current comic series, where Toph is getting a lot more involved in city ongoings thanks to her baby daddy new love interest Satoru.

I don't mind the difficulty of the game, but I wish there were more spots where you could take a break without losing your whole level progress. With so many fights so unforgiving even in normal mode, getting through one single chapter (plus the Naga race thing) could take nearly an hour. The Republic City chapter could honestly be split into three whole different stages.

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.
