Oh. Season 4 started already. Huh.

How is she a villain based on what we've seen?

The look on her face after she recruited those bandits was one of pure unadulterated villainy.

Doesn't really make sense to me that she can see everything through the trees' roots, but not through the, you know, soil.

What's a lethal dose of mercury? That was a lot of mercury. She should be a vegetable.

She and every other character has taken a lethal dose of blunt force trauma in approximately every fight in the entire series. Everyone in Avatar should be a vegetable.

Does anyone actually like Meelo, Ikki, Jinora, or Kai? Anyone? At least Kai's balls dropped, but his VA is still terrible.

Jinora is pretty cool. Meelo and Ikki are annoying kids, though. Meelo is aggressively unfunny in addition to being annoying.

Why does the avatar even care about the conquests of man?if anything doesn't her meddling unbalance the world? This is a criticism of all the avatars.

An avatars job is to bring balance between man and spirit. That's what they're qualified to do.

The avatar imposing her strength to see her ideology is carried out is an abuse. The avatars are clearly flawed individuals with their own opinions. They happen to have significant power which allows them to determine what is or is not right.

I guess what I'm saying is why is this current plot something the avatar should involve herself in. The four nations are human constructs unlike the spirit / man divide. Why can't the human world change and deal with it themselves.

I hope this show ends with the foreshadowing that Toph made that the world actually doesn't need an avatar.

I think it's OK for the avatar to fight against Literally Hitler.

Amon was literally the opposite of Hitler. He was fighting against the Bender Übermensch. He wanted everyone to be equal, so he tried to take away everyone's bending. Didn't Stalin enforce communism by sending all the rich people to the gulags? That's kind of the same thing.

Korra threads on /co/ were always hilarious, but I was under the impression most people were either neutral or favorable to it from the threads I've read since it happened.

They are. But there's a handful of people who post very very loudly.

Pfff, haven't you guys heard of Death of the Author? This announcement means literally nothing. You're going to be hearing people say it's not canon for a long, long time.
Yeah, death of the author is really stupid. It's up to the author to decide what goes on in their stories.
The announcement means quite a bit, actually. I mean, we still have people saying the world is flat even after the announcement that it's round several hundred years ago.

I dunno, it pissed off the vines, but if the spirits cared so much, wouldn't they have been happy to fight Kuvira?

Tenzin put his life into airbending, and as a result, he is the best airbender in the world. Hard work clearly does pay off.

I'll be honest, I thought kataang was way weirder and more unexpected than korrasami. So I guess I've either been tainted by the gay agenda, or I just can't see 14 and 12 year olds falling in tru wuv with each other.

Sokka was by far the worst thing about ATLA. He and Aang annoyed the hell out of me for most of season 1. Aang at least got better later on, but Sokka only ever got tolerable at best.

Thank you, Gospelherald.com. It took way too long, but it was worth the wait.

If there's ever another Avatar series, it will most certainly deal with the next generation. There will be magical kungfu. If there ISN'T another Avatar series ever again... there will be another series with magical kungfu. :colbert: That's the hard truth, folks. Ultimately, the main draw for me were always very well done action scenes and the occasional great character, none of which is Avatar-specific. At this point, I'd rather have a completely new universe, one which is aimed at an older audience right from the start. And let's be honest - that's more likely anyway.

Honestly, I'd rather see more avatar than some new thing which has a similarly horrible first season to ATLA and LOK.
