The Legend of Korra

[BirthNote]

I would sort of like to know why benders can only bend one element. Only the avatar can bend all four. Some people can only bend certain spin-offs of elements. And, why some people cannot bend anything at all.

It seems sort of stated without any reason for these restrictions. I'd be satisfied I guess if they at least said, "Chi is unique to each person. So not everyone can bend the same things." Something to that affect. I bet in the end all benders who lost bending get it back later somehow. The avatar givith, and takith away.

The creators (Mike and Bryan) say that bending comes from spirituality, which is why all the Air Nomads could bend while most Earth Kingdom citizens can't. Civilization decreases spirituality.

korra x amon imo

Amorra? K. I like the sound of it...

So Amon still makes no sense. How he magically is able to take away people's bending is beyond me. I don't even know if if he's actually a non-bender. Considering that ability is supposed to be an avatar only ability, I'm assuming it has something to do with the ability to understand and perform all of the elements, which Amon has possibly obtained somehow.

Also trying to figure out how the water bender on the council is tied into this, since he definitely seems to be in some way.

That lion turtle at the end of Aang's story said that in an era before the Avatar, they bended energy and not elements.

So, there were people in ancient times who energybended. It was probably as common as elementbending is in this show.

I wish they'd go more in depth with Energy Bending's background.

So far I literally see no use or reason to have it if multiple people were Energy Benders as well. Did they just take away each other's abilities and give it back, lol? Like, I see no point to having it (at the time when everyone was one with no division of elemental bending) lol.

Unless there's more uses for it than they've shown. But I can't really imagine too many uses for it tbh.

 

[Grimmz]

oh so this is the new avatar show everyone was talking about

 

[MysteryRevengerson]

There was an image earlier that had to do with

Spoiler

the chakra gates (which chi-blockers apparently COULD mess with) and the one in your forehead, if sealed, can **** your bending up. This means it could be reversed

 

[Smooth Criminal]

I knew those had to exist in this setting. xD

[TheSaudiMizer]

Well it's only a matter of time before they have to leave Republic City. Wonder where they're going first.

 

[The Real Gamer]

Travelling won't be the same w/o a flying bison.

RIP Appa

 

[LLDL]

Traveling won't be a problem

RIP Appa

Yea, now they have to use a bear dog creature. They should use Tenzin's bison.

 

[Jmorsch]

Where did that bison even come from. I don't remember there being more than one.

 

[theeboredone]

No episode tomorrow .-.

 

[Ussi]

What?!? Laaaame!

Well i'd have to wait till tuesday to watch it anyways...

 

[LLDL]

You can all watch the zenith stream instead :>

 

[Wizzrobe]

You can all watch the zenith stream instead :>

Yes, but Legend of Korra would just be 30 minutes lol.

 

[LLDL]

Looks like the Zenith stream wasn't even on when Korra would have ended the episode.

I just started rewatching it on Netflix last Saturday when we were robbed of a Korea episode. I'm at chapter 4 book 3, I forgot how much I loved this show. We need at least one iroh cameo in korra.

XD I'm leaving the typo.

 

[theeboredone]

Lol at Korea episode.

 

[Strong Badam]

hahaha best typo ever

 

[LLDL]

lmfao Korea

 

[Big-Cat]

Oh my God, this show!

Spoiler

I think I love hating Tarrlok now. And just how old this guy? That guy at the end of Korra's flashback looked like Tarrlok and the entire court being subject to bloodbending is was just crazy.

I wonder what's gonna happen to the rest of Krew and how Asami is going to respond to finding out that Korra likes Mako (Y U GO 4 BOLIN?!). That "glare" leaves a lot to interpretation.

 

[BirthNote]

I'm starting to think

Spoiler

Aang didn't die. I'm starting to think he was killed...

 

[Big-Cat]

I'm starting to think

Aang didn't die. I'm starting to think he was killed...

Spoiler

Maybe, maybe not. He died in his 60's which is not too out of the ordinary.

 

[Rutger]

This show is just too good.

It's so strange to have a few cartoons worth watching on Saturday mornings again.

 

[Alacion]

What on Earth just happened this episode? >_>

This show just keeps getting better!

 

[Wizzrobe]

Sounds like a good episode, I must watch it. Although, it's Legend of Korra so it's automatically going to be good lol.

 

[Spelt]

Wat.


WAT.




WAT.

Spoiler

my eloquent reactions to the episode

 

[LLDL]

**** just got real

 

[Mr. Johan]

You can tell the animators had a blast making these scenes.

 

[Isatis]

That was......... wow...

did not expect.

 

[Airgemini]

Soooo good.

I can't explain the episode because I'm still in awe. Speechless.

 

[Disfunkshunal]

Mind=Blown! Every minute was better than the last and the last 5 minutes were nothing short of AMAZING. Can't wait to see how they follow this up!

 

[ShroudedOne]

Oh my god. All this hype.

Let me pull up this tab IMMEDIATELY.

 

[Smooth Criminal]

Whyyyyyy am I at worrrrrk

Smooth Criminal

 

[ShroudedOne]

I will go on record to say that this is the BEST episode so far, by such a wide gap. This went above and beyond anything I could've expected, even after reading the spoilers in this thread beforehand.

Wow. Just...wow.
