My money's on Korra rejoining with someone, whether it's Bolin or Mako or Tenzin or Lin I don't know but I'm betting she'll end up running into them somehow with the poison still insider her during a fight and being more of a liability than an asset. Also, holy poo poo Toph, could you really not go easy on her while she had poison inside of her for three years?

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.

Oh, she got fixed already. Well drat, I guess that the mercury was pretty much the only problem. I was expecting her Avatar State version of herself to be a much bigger problem in the series but oh well.

SpiderHyphenMan posted:It haunted her around the world for six months. The way it worked in the episode kinda felt like kinda just stopped being an issue immediately is all. I dunno. I don't have a lot of introspection or analyzation on the episodes anyway so whatever's on the surface is basically all I'm getting out of it. I was just really expecting something different to resolving that is all. Like DrSunshine posted:Actually, I think it'd be neat if her PTSD wasn't banished completely. If it came back to haunt her later on, but she'd work through it and struggle onwards despite it. Something kinda like that but just for her Avatar state stalker version of herself. She'd get the poison out and be feeling great and manage to actually fight someone and win again but then she'd see it again and realize that there's something else going on besides it just being poison and fear. I dunno. But I was expecting something totally different and I don't think that I really got what was going on anymore?

Well, now that the thread quality is going droopy-eyed I can say that I wished that Korra's avatar-state nightmare-stalker would've been Raava. Then in the eventual fight with Kuvira she acts as her Stand.

It's gonna be like the last part of the first season where without any other bending available she'll be able to Airbend. Only all that energy is gonna overcharge her to the point that she can even change into her past selves like Aang did with Kyoshi and Roku.

Korra is going to get spirit-lasered and go like, beyond the avatar state. This also restores the past lives

Baron Bifford posted:Zhu Lee has been through so much crap for Varrick. Why would she suddenly turn on him now? Because Kuvira has an army and since she was Varrick's assistant and probably did all the work anyway, she probably knows how to re-setup those machines again for the spirit vine lasers? That's my guess at least, I dunno what else to assume.

Sydin posted:Avatar state Aang also laid out Ozai like a total chump, despite Ozai easily being one of the strongest benders in the world at time time, and also working with super enhanced bending as a result of the comet.  Sydin posted:But yeah, my point is that if you're going to have something like the avatar state, you have to either contrive reasons that it can't be used, or massively scale up the power of the antagonists, because otherwise it becomes an instant-win button that destroys the narrative. And if you do it badly enough you end up with Naruto.

Namarrgon posted:I think good bending is supposed to be really difficult, so that would be like asking "why don't cops just shoot out the four tyres of a car immediately and not deal with collateral damage?" Wait a second, why don't the cops just tear the cars apart though?

Kassad posted:The people in the car would keep moving at 50mph (or whatever) even as the car fell to pieces under them. It wouldn't be pretty. In a show that showed injuries consistently, yeah maybe. In this one they'd just roll around a lot and pass out. Of course, they could also just bend the wheels off and peel the car open after it skids to a stop.

Tbh I was hoping that someone would hug Toph and crack her back and then she'd go 'Huh, suddenly I wanna smash some chumps.' for some reason.

Super.Jesus posted:Still, it's nice to know that it's not a meta thing and benders actually got weaker over the years. Toph iced all those mechs instantly in one move... Man, imagine what Bumi would've been like if ATLA took place forty years into the war instead of a hundred. In It For The Tank posted:In the finale, Kuvira will blast Toph into a boulder and a conveniently placed jagged rock will crack her back for her. She'll also turn out to be freakishly ripped as well.

Jackard posted:Yea this whole series is about magical kungfu and I don't see how a giant mech is supposed to deliver on that. I wonder what possible use a giant robot that towers over mountains could have in an army. Or the effect that might have on the opposing army seeing that come walking up to the battlefield. They desperately need to use the fact that Bolin can lavabend now. A lot of problems could be solved by just using Earthbending differently than just throwing big rocks at things. Like pinning those tanks in place for one.

The Sharmat posted:The Earth-Bending whack-a-mole between the two armies constantly popping up and knocking down barriers would be amusing for the first five minutes but after that it would lose any emotional impact. It's a shame that Toph never managed to teach anyone aside from Aang to constantly see with their feet. No one would expect an underground attack!

People aren't as big fans of the ending with the Aang fight because there was a lot of just floating around in an element ball instead of sick-rear end kung-fu poo poo. StrifeHira posted:Nah, Korra should've walked into the portal with her avatar state and kissed her to confuse the poo poo out of everyone. That will get people talkin' about the ending. Man, there's gonna be lots of hilarious edits to that scene to come.

Jimbot posted:Yeah, it was kind of disappointing but thematically I think it worked out. It was more about Aang embracing being the Avatar and the power that it entails and less about kung-fu. Until that point he kind of feared the avatar state because he couldn't fully control it. During that whole sequence he was fully in control thus a complete Avatar. Probably why the episode is titled "Avatar Aang". I want it to be clear that the Aang fight is the only part I think people are having problems with though. Like, just that part. The airships and Agni Ki? I don't think anyone has problems with those.

poo poo, I'm not even the least bit in the know on the difference between gender or sex but even I know that media loooooooooooooooves to play the 'Oh she's just experimenting' card and that is cool and good as long as it's women doing it. I haven't really watched any shows in recent times but I don't think there's been a sudden explosion of 'possibly' gay dudes on TV dating other guys only for their parents to think 'Oh he's just playing around, he'll go back to being attracted to women any day now.'

MechaCrash posted:I think this idea crops up because CN doesn't hinge everything on one show, like Nick does with Spongebob. But don't forget that Young Justice got cancelled because too many girls were watching, who "everybody knows" do not buy superhero toys. Source? Because I thought that was less girls might be watching they  shouldn't be and more the fact that it wasn't selling toys. Which is just awful. How did a show's ability to sell toys determine if it got to stick around?

Aces High posted:so when is blurry! going to make their big essay for the end of the season? I mean I, for one, always look forward to reading those "For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is John Galt? This is John Galt speaking. I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are perishing-you who dread knowledge-I am the man who will now tell you-" Imagine it then stretching on into eternity. TheKingofSprings posted:The last 2 minutes of The Legend of Korra resulted in blurry! needing to completely rewrite their essay, which will now be 4 times the original size and require multiple posts to complete. blurry!'s post alone will take at least ten pages.

Probably Magic posted:Speaking of, I saw the episode where Zuko convinces Team Avatar to let him join, and while I greatly enjoy LoK and roll my eyes at the idea that ATLA is television perfected, Who says this? Most I've ever heard was that it's the best animated show that's been on television. Only time I've heard people call something the best TV show was when Breaking Bad was still coming out with new episodes.
