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)

Counterpoint: hitting stuff with a cool-rear end air glider staff

I think Wu would jump at the chance for a constitutional monarchy. No pasky actual ruling, so there's more time to be a jackass celebrity.

The Evangalion rebuild movies have these titles:
Evangelion 1.11: You Are (Not) Alone
Evangelion 2.22: You Can (Not) Advance
Evangelion 3.33: You Can (Not) Redo

They are meant to be thematic and pretentious (because its eva) and the Tenzengalion pun-thing from a few pages before plays off this.

Edit: :spergin:

I've never seen any EVA thing. Am I (not) a bad anime fan?

According to this podcast, episode 2 is going to be the "major Korra recovery" episode.

Other tidbits:

Bryan also says that he wishes the movie didn't exist. It's pretty funny.

Kuvira is set up to be a kind of Korra doppelganger in that they are young, driven and motivated in the same way, and this time Korra isn't fighting an old man.

They still want to be involved with the Avatar comics, but it's not the right time to bring another show into production.

Good watch.

Is book 3 any good? I've not watched anything since book 2 and hadn't realized book 3 had even finished yet.

Book 2 gets flak as the worst season but it's still watchable. I'd say watch episodes 1-2, 7-8, and the finale.

Book three owns and watch all of it.

King of Foolians posted:

I've seen others refer to the possability of Korra reconnecting with past lives and I don't understand where this idea comes from. In season 2 they pretty clearly showed the 'past lives' getting disintegrated when Unalaq ripped Raava out of Korra and kept hitting her. To me it looked pretty clear that whatever memory of past lives Raava retained were gone, gone for good, hence the next season being called "Change".
It's sorta like watching the entire original series hoping that Aang would discover a secret colony of Airbenders who escaped being killed.

Also speaking of past lives, it must have been super weird for Katara to hang out with/recouperate someone who she literally used to be married to but is now in a different body. Of course, I don't think the show has been clear yet whether only the Avatar reincarnates, or if everyone in the world reincarnates and only the Avatar remembers their past lives.

The Avatar reincarnates because Raava can reincarnate. The only thing that I think comes close is when Yue turns into the moon spirit.

Now that's something I wish was explored more: humans turning into spirits. We know that spirits can jump into bodies and leave physical "footprints".

Also: The Painted Lady. Why is she the only spirit that looks human?

Spoilers for Korra vidya game: Final boss Hundun could possibly be another humanoid spirit. In an interview one of the Activision guys said he's fought a previous avatar and only existed in the Spirit world (though he could have been exiled there for some reason)

Yep. I think it's because Bolin actually seems to be showing a bit of a spine. Can't wait until we see them duel which I think at this point is inevitable. My money's on Bolin.

As a firebender, Mako should be able to suck the heat from the lava. Whether he's able to do that is another matter.

Also, he has death lightning.

Re: the game.

I'm dumb and basically handicapping myself by using those two talismans that double SP/XP but halve life and attack power. In effect risking getting owned by every goddamn triad group because I hit like a feather and die like grass.

Also the Shadow Fists talisman is priceless (literally) and worth picking up. The code to unlock it is Right, Right, Left, Left, Square (on PS4, probably Y on Xbone/PC). Paired with some other talismans you can get, you can die to a stiff breeze but rack up massive amounts of experience, cash, and combo score super fast.

Do you have the two costume codes as well?

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.

Supposedly shooting lightning (especially high power lightning) is really taxing on the body and chi.
