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.)

Sithsaber posted:(I only saw one episode of FMA before I binge watched FMAB) Bah, there are so many things in the early episodes that FMA does better than FMAB. I hate how FMAB glossed over/rushed past a lot of the early plot points. (But, FMAB eventually did become really drat good, once the two series diverged.)

Yeah, I don't actually want Varrick to be head of the Red Lotus, that was a joke suggestion. He's not exactly the anarchist type. (But I could see him secretly working with them if it could further his own ends, like the kidnapping of the President. Not that I think that's going to happen, either.)

Ahahaha. Reading more of that article that I posted, it talks about how Platinum ended up getting on board...quote:It was just really fascinating to [us]. Just the fact that it's so detailed and the fact that each of the bending styles is based on actual different types of Kung-Fu. The way that it's actually animated is just really impressive. That's right, we have the Platinum game coming because they liked the love story and Bolin's comic relief.

Rewatching that last scene... "I found you passed out in the mud." "How'd you know I was out there?" "I'm pretty tapped in to the goings-on around here." She can totally see the whole surrounding area through vibrations in the roots, can't she?

Based on the pre-season trailer, the vines may just be used to power the mechs. In that one shot of Varrick, it looks like they're using the vines as a power source for what are probably mech batteries:

King of Foolians posted:I thought the same thing. It seemed especially weird that Tenzin (who always seems to butt in whether it's his business or not), or Raiko (who Kuvira apparently personally promised to step down) just sat there and did nothing. But by the time Kuvira finished her little speech most of the crowd was cheering, so perhaps they were just too savy to go against public opinion in the moment. The little "Oh, poo poo" glance that they gave each other as Kuvira started into her coup was great, though.

I don't agree that it is the intended ending (and I agree with you on how the ending is meant to be read) but it's very easy to argue that allowing someone to stick to their morals without having to pay a personal cost for doing so devalues the difficulty of sticking to their morals.

ImpAtom posted:It doesn't because "he comes this close to losing" has no long-term or serious impact on him within the confines of the show. Well you don't generally introduce "long-term impacts" within the last 10 minutes of a series. Nor does everything have to have/examine a long-term impact. When your main character is already willing to risk their entire being to stop an enemy without using violence, having worked towards that moment for the whole series, that already says plenty. You don't need to directly see how it effected his psyche afterwards to understand that he's risking everything for his beliefs. thexerox123 fucked around with this message at 18:37 on Oct 20, 2014 |
