he drives her crazy in a bad way

 

[choknater]

I really do feel sorry for anyone reading/interested in reading Harry Potter that reads this...

People spoiled it vastly after the movies as if it wasn't spoiled enough after the book came out.

yeah, haha, it's pretty much the representative meme of spoilers

Wow, I just watched this show for the first time. I had no idea it was going to be a successor to the original Avatar series.

 

[Grizzlpaw]

Water, Earth, and Fire already have "sub" elements. Time for Air to get in.

Plasma bending!

Essentially Plasma is just gas with a bit of energy added to it. There is more to it than that, but I'd rather not get into the scientific explanation.

I'd love to see a classic Plasma blast. Plus, it more than suits Korra's personality

Today's episode was great. Started off alright, didn't really get me excited. But then once they got to the second half it felt a lot more suspenseful and really improved my overall feelings about it. Hyped for next week!

Amon is another avatar cause Aang died twice meaning two avatars came to be.

aang only died once, when he was struck by lightening it only sealed his avatar state temporarily

 

[SnackAttack]

Amon is another side of the current Avatar, the spiritual side.

It would explain why Korra has trouble with the spiritual aspect of being the Avatar.

[Ussi]

Katara had to use her miracle water to save Aang though

 

[BirthNote]

The way the enemies move, I bet

Spoiler

Korra will really appreciate airbending

.

 

[KrIsP!]

Are the episodes on in the morning? Is there a place I can watch these online? I'll search now...I'd love to support the guys but no one in Canada has bought the rights yet.

 

[Spelt]

You can buy them on itunes :/
I think that's the only other way.



That episode was craycray.

>put hat on
COMPLETELY UNRECOGNIZABLE.

 

[Alacion]

What the heck those plot twists... I don't think energy bending (or w/e it's called) is exclusive to the avatar since that lion turtle guy in the finale of Avatar The Last Airbender was saying it existed before "the era of the avatar". I'm gonna guess Amon found some scroll on how the process is done much like how Zhao found a scroll to find out the identity of the moon spirit before Yue became it.

I always thought bending lightning was really difficult to achieve but it seems everybody can do it now >_>

 

[Spelt]

That guy was a really established firebender. The whole leader of that triad group or whatever.
Only natural he would know something complex like that.

 

[Alacion]

But Mako can do it too. The factory scene had a bunch of people power up some machine with lightning.

metal bending was also impossible at one point now the whole police force can do it
100 years passed so i think benders got a lot better during that time

People progress in talent as generations go by

 

[Airgemini]

You can watch the episodes here online: http://www.tv-links.eu/tv-shows/The-Legend-of-Korra_31565/

 

[Alacion]

Funny how Mako and Amon's parents were all killed by firebenders.

 

[Airgemini]

Spoiler

Amon has to be an energy bender btw. The theories of him being a second avatar and such kind of sound reasonable.

I also sort of agree about how lightning looked a bit too 'common'. Just another change.

 

[BirthNote]

The world has advanced quite a bit in the past 70 years. I'm gonna expect anything now.

 

[choknater]

the action in episode 3 was sooo excellent

i just wish with all my heart that the animation team used a slightly better frame rate... it looks like they're doing everything at 12 fps and it looks so choppy! their drawing skill is clearly excellent, but the chosen fps looks janky hahaha.

probably an efficiency thing, but it really bugs me when i look at it hahaha.

 

[KrIsP!]

Just watched it. Soooooo good. The stories going places and it still looks good. And the whole revelation scene just seemed so satisfyingly dark but losing your ability to bend seems much better than just killing people. Its reminding me of Harry potters darkness while remaining a kids movie and makes me sad the avatar movie was apparently really bad.

 

[BirthNote]

That reminds me...how will they deal with villains who don't bend? Kill them? Imprisonment?

EDIT: Break their arms/legs?

 

[choknater]

are you talking about aman's group?

i don't really think that's their concern. they themselves are criminal in their actions.

 

[BirthNote]

Yea I meant them. I wanna see how Korra deals with that group.

 

[Frolossus]

wait
aman is energy bender and he wants to take away everyones' bending ability? real hypocrite

 

[Grandeza]

It's yet to be seen if he's truly an energy bender. When Aang energy bended to take away Ozai's bending he touched his chest and forehead while both their eyes lit up. Aman didn't light up and he only touched their foreheads.

 

[theeboredone]

So just got done watching the episode. Couple of notes...

1. I think the relationship between Korra and Mako is moving too fast. I would've been fine if the only hint of romance was the scene where Tenzen's daughters comment about him being handsome when he's behind her.

2. Mako watched his parents die in front of him = Batman.

3. I think what I'm looking forward to most is how Korra and the two brothers improve on their fighting skills. They are clearly outmatched right now, so it's gonna be awesome to see how they improve.

4. I hope at some point, they move out of the city. While Republic City looks awesome, one thing I loved about The Last Airbender was that they travelled the world.

 

[choknater]

we'll see about #4, though i'm doubtful it will happen. the intro to the show and the main antagonist seem like the series will pretty much be about the city, at least for a while.

 

[theeboredone]

I also wouldn't be surprised if the fire bender that killed Mako's parents was related in some way to Aman's past.

 

[Spelt]

Yeah I doubt #4 will happen. They wanted to move away from the traveling type adventure from the start, which is the main reason they made republic city. They wanted one central location for this series.


I love how fast it's moving already. Only on episode 3 and there's already so much going on.

 

[Ussi]

The whole relationship going to fast.. Get with the times, people date a lot sooner and faster now.

/lolmoderntimes

 

[ShroudedOne]

I don't like the fast pace of the emotions. I'd like a bit more build up than this. Makes it too painfully obvious. Then again, kids are known for cutting to the chase these days.

 

[Airgemini]

The rushed pace of the show could be for the fact that the first season only consists of 12 episodes.

 

[theeboredone]

Well, I'm not concerned about the plot being rushed so to speak as much as the romance.
