Gxg (G²) said:Some feel Korra doesn't deserve to win
Would it not make sense to give Korra grace for what she has represented thus far?If I were a judge I probably would not vote for Korra because if the compilation episode. That wasn't really the production crew's fault, though. If Korra doesn't win I hope Gravity Falls does
I can definitely agree that ATLOK takes time to grow on you after only experiencing ATLAB - as I appreciated the overall narrative of what the story represented when seeing how it always meant something different with what Korra went through in comparison to Aang. I did think her and Mako were a good couple - but the romance did seem distracting. Nonetheless, it was a wise move to get rid of the love triangle ....and with the multiple enemies Korra has faced, it is interested to see how much happened for her in less than 6 yrs. I do hope the ending for the series goes well so that others realize how much Korra is worth the rewards....Without question, Korra excels in story, animation, direction, music, and acting. I didn't care for the first season's romantic drama with Korra, Mako, and Asami, but I'm glad dropped that arc. It took 5-6 episodes for me to really invest emotionally in the show and I think that's just because I had recently finished watching AtLAB.
Cool to know.I tweeted the AnnieAwards and they confirmed the ceremony will be streamed but no details on when/where yet.
I thought Suyin's "acquisition" of armor was such a cool move at the battle on the gun.
I was surprised by the spirits declining to engage Kuvira; I figured it would be the spirits that turn the tide.
No surprise about Zhu Li, though. She's awesome.
So trueLoved this last episode.
Bolin was the embodiment of "fanboydom," and asked all the questions "we" wanted to know with Toph, especially her relations with her daughters.
Actually, what Toph did was not really something new if keeping up with the ATLA series. It's called Seismic sense and it is something she used often with the older Avatar gang.Toph is kind of epic. Now she has "sensory bending?" She can sense the tiny fluctuations in the blood ions when someone is lying (beyond form of metal bending... magneto level?)
Indeed. It made sense for Toph to pass on the baton to the next generation - plus the fact that she really is old and (though still dangerous) trying to take it easier.I like how they didn't overuse Toph and her enormous power. Thank you, writers for letting Toph bow out without being a cliche. (Toph could easily destroy Kurvira; that is the Avarar's job, though, in this story arc.)
Wu represents a fundamental problem in the Avatar universe in that he really is not concerned for the people and he was hand-picked by a president not of the Earth Kingdom, with Raiko wanting to send advisors to Wu to advise him in political affairs even though that would mean that Wu is really a puppet ruller. People need the freedom to choose their own path and not have leaders over them that simply have failed to grow up....and putting Wu on the throne would just be another case of bad leadership.As I said before, I would take Prince What'shisface (Prince Wu) as a leader despite his ridiculousness if he can actually make decent decisions. It looks like he is getting there.... his suggestion was basic crisis protocol. I can work with a "leader" who knows the basics - we do have the Avatar after all. I can even overlook that he is just doing this to get with a girl.
He has grown a conscious..I like Varick, and I knew his "assistant"/brains wasn't for Kurvira.
It should be interesting...Bolin ♡ Opal. It's going to happen. And 15 years later she will be on "The Real Airbinders of Zaofu." (just kidding...)
Nice episode. There was less action, but a lot of development. They must have something huge for the series finale episodes.
Speaking on the gun, have you found it interesting to see the ways that Kurvira had her gun made in the same way that Hitler did with his weapon called the Gustav? - a super cannon developed with immense capabilities.I thought Suyin's "acquisition" of armor was such a cool move at the battle on the gun.
I'm guessing you really didn't keep up with the older series...
That being the case, you really wouldn't have the best background with understanding the symbolism of the show if you've not seen the first season of Korra or the entire season of Book 2 which took things further - it'd be like coming into watching Star Wars on "Return of the Jedi" and eagerly making critiques of the entire saga when you've not even seen the previous two and only saw some episodes of "Star Wars: The Clone Wars".....I watched the movie which piqued my interest, then watched parts of TLAB. I watched enough of TLAB to understand why people think TLOK is garbage, but no I have not been the best fan boy of the show. I missed season 1 of Korra, came in on the end of UnaVaatu/Super Blue Korra. The first villain in Korra seemed bad***. Maybe if I knew before Korra got energy bended by him I wouldn't dislike her so much.
It really is no different than having a lie detector. Others in the Avatar world already demonstrated the ability even outside of toph, such as Aiwei (from Book 3) - a Truth Seer for Suyin. One simply uses seismic sense to detect lies based on minute changes in the breathing patterns and heart rates of individuals with whom one interacted.As far as the "sensory" bending, I knew earthbenders could resonate electromagnetism innate in earth, and reconnoiter information, since "earth" conducts that. But, detecting theta wave perturbations from the brain, or minute ionic fluctuations that determine truth? That is quite hardcore. I know how that would work scientifically, so maybe I am over thinking this one too. To me, Toph is almost psionic. Maybe, like Astral intellect with airbenders, and healing with waterbenders, latent psionic ability is earthbenders "Uber special trick."
Technically, it's not the first time such an event has occurred like that - as it happened in ATLA when the gang from that era went to the Spirit world to find help and they got shot down..I was surprised by the spirits declining to engage Kuvira; I figured it would be the spirits that turn the tide.
Spirits have always been a bit indifferent to the affairs of humans - even when they WERE a part of the human world, just as it was in the time of Wan when spirits invaded the human world and always fought against humans.True, but now the spirits have more of stake in the conflict being integrated in the human world, the tree being attacked by Kuvira, and their energy harnessed as a weapon.
Would be good to have spirits now - or the Spirit vines. For things just got real in the latest episode:I was surprised by the spirits declining to engage Kuvira; I figured it would be the spirits that turn the tide.
