I'm possessed by the ghost of der Fuhrer and have begun a campaign of subjugating the weak and infirm and those unlike me, but am otherwise utterly dissimilar to Hitler physically.

I think this was a weak point in the writing for sure. The writers could have had Korra going back to Su with something with more purpose. Like what if Kuvira instead said, "Oh yes you're right. You know let me draw up a peace treaty proposal and you can deliver it to Su for me. If she agrees to it, we won't attack." Obviously, the terms would never work but Korra doesn't know that. She thinks Kuvira is the hero that saved her dad. Then Korra gets there and Su has left to go kill Kuvira and obviously the peace treaty won't be happening. Same overall plot, but Korra is handled better.

This coming episode I wouldn't be surprised if we actually see a fight between Korra and Su. Korra isn't convinced that Kuvira is evil at all. She doesn't know about the camps or the death beam or anything else. So Su attempting to assassinate a world leader that saved her father's life is not going to go over well with Korra. I bet Korra actually stops Su from killing Kuvira, the two fight, and Korra subdues Su. It's only after that that Korra learns that Kuvira is actually like 50 Hitlers or whatever she is on the scale.

I love how "Equality" is a dirty word in the Avatar universe.

Kuvira should probably be actively trying to kill Korra. The next Avatar would be born into her Empire, and under her command.

Anyone want to tell me which real world martial art is the most like the one where you shoot a loving hadouken?

Big Anime Fan Here posted:

Actually there used to be a martial art that was very similar to waterbending but they stopped using it after the civil rights movement

Firelord Ozai would have hosed Korra up beyond repair

In Buddhist mythology, they use a big, round number to refer to "a longer period of time than we can/are not supposed to calculate." Like 5000 or 10,000 years. When is the next Buddha coming? 5,000 years. That sort of thing.

Things I hope happen during the inevitable Toph throwdown:

Toph makes fun of the fact they are getting their asses kicked by a blind woman.

Someone remarks that platinum can't be metalbent and Toph shows them that is just because they are bad at metalbending.

Toph sees mechs, remarks she made metal power armor before they were even born, and makes herself into Voltron made out of unwilling powersuits.

Toph goes full Batman and picks the loggers off one by one.

At some point one of the gaang is in trouble, and the bad guy is suddenly conked by a L-shaped piece of metal flying in from off-camera.

Boomerang always comes back.

Mako being such a bad boyfriend that two heroines realize they're actually bisexual would be pretty hilarious, and I hope Bolin points it out to Mako as soon as possible and never stops.

I for one think it's great that the show producers are going down this direction after the great injustice of never shipping Aang and Sokka right after Aang slapped some rocks into a guy on fire jet feet or something. The poetic beauty of the lineage of airbenders succumbing to their greatest of teachings, love, was what the series truly needed. And I thought we had it, too, when a whole episode was dedicated to the obvious foreshadowing of Sokka learning to use his 'sword'. To the people who think it's unrealstic, allow me to direct you to the fact that as long as Korra wrestles her inner demons, her 'bending' is all sorts of out of shape. Proof, if ever, that she has to relearn 'bending'. All the clues are right in front of us, folks.

They did a really good job of setting it up so that it really could go either way.
I assume/hope that she's still ultimately loyal to Varrick (even though he doesn't really deserve her loyalty).

thexerox123 posted:

Yeah, I'd agree with all of that, which is why I ultimately hope that she's still loyal to him... I just hope that Varrick's main character growth over this season is learning to be a bit more grateful for/respectful of Zhu Li on a day-to-day basis.

Kurui Reiten posted:

I want the culmination of that relationship to be Zhu Li shouting "Varrick! Do the thing!"

Kassad posted:

Or collapse a section of it that's in the middle of nowhere. Bolin could probably just have melted the ground under the wall a couple miles away from that checkpoint. But that wouldn't have been as entertaining as seeing Varrick macgyver an EMP device.

Sato posted:

I really hope that Nick doesn't view the ratings for Korra as justification that they were right that a female lead wouldn't be successful. Korra's a great protagonist and we tend to not see many like her, so it'd be awful if this show were seen as a cautionary tale.

It's part of the reason why I believe that Unalaq would have worked well as a revolutionary bent on opening the portals and have Harmonic Convergence take place, with the intention of having Korra deal with Vaatu, thus removing the main reason for the separation of both worlds (the Dark Avatar being the result of the forceful possession of Unalaq by Vaatu when the later realizes that he's not match for the Avatar). It looks insane enough that everyone, especially the Avatar, would want to put a stop to it even if Unalaq's intentions are "good". Add in the personal imbalance of Unalaq, and we could have had a "good intentions, wrong methods" villain alongside the ones with twisted ideologies (Amon and Zaheer) and the one who started with good intentions but then went off the rails (Kuvira).

Can't link, but Korra's Facebook page just announced that this season is gonna start airing on tv again. On Nicktoons, granted, but still airing.

Rosalind posted:

Wu is way too weak to be a ruler of anything and they haven't portrayed him as having any character growth so far beyond admitting to himself that he's a dweeb. By this point, we would have seen some sort of indication of some inner strength or ability to lead if that's what they were building to. They're going to have a British system where he's the figurehead of the government but really the Earth Kingdom will be a democracy of some stripe.

Alright I'm all caught up now.

So far, if Book 4 keeps up the current level of quality (minus the regrettably necessary clip show), I'm gonna be able to say that I solidly prefer Legend of Korra to The Last Air Bender as a TV show. Given the thread title and the history of Korra threads on this board, can I assume this is an extremely unpopular opinion and that I will by duly punished?
