The Last Airbender: Legend of Korra

[j.hen]

Also, spirit bending is supposed to be executed perfectly or it fucks up the user. If Korra blocks Amon's attempt, he could be in for a world of trouble.

It would be sick if she opens her eyes and does go Avatar State, starts airbending, and then takes the form of Aang to take Amon's energybending away.... But then if Amon's revolution does end in the finale, what is the conflict for Season 2/the series conclusion? Or maybe Amon does take her bending away and then she has to learn energybending in the 2nd season and she only fights in the Avatar State?

Seems like Amon is really trying to start the bending era all over again to how it was back before the Avatar cycle. :yep:

Iroh is Zuko's grandson. I think it's known that Zuko and Mai only had a daughter.

As far as season two, if Korra beats Amon, she still has to restore balance to Republic City. Taking the head off of an organization doesn't necessarily take it down.

Season Finale in the AM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Houston]

Amon's brother?

 

[Pills]

Well, I was close. Substitute airbending for avatar state, and Yakone's son for Yakone...

Season two will probably be about her reaching the Avatar State to get all of her bending back. Guessing it's called Spirit.

 

[Pills]

... OK, that was awesome.

 

[Houston]

So fucking good. From the looks of it they have almost a clean slate for seaosn 2, can't wait to see what they do with it.


R.I.P Amon He wasn't that bad.

 

[j.hen]

I thought she was going to go avatar state to save Tenzin and his kids. Hopefully Boomi and Iroh are main characters for season 2. :yep:

WHEN DOES IT START!?

 

[Houston]

Oh yeah, I just remembered. Originally they only had one season, they went back and wrote the second one later. Makes sense that Amon was finished now and didn't carry on into the next. Also explains the clean slate feeling.

Tarlock and Amon's scenes in this episode, too good.

I literally can't deal with this.

:lebron:

 

[Buzzman]

I really did enjoy this season, but the first series completely shits on this one.

 

[Houston]

the first series completely shits on this one.

Don't know about that. I think this first season was too good for any show to "shit" on it.

 

[Buzzman]

There was nothing in Korra that improved upon the first series in anyway. The first beat it in every way possible. This season was a bit too rushed, was lacking character development, and spent way too much time in romantic subpots when it could have been making the characters better. Not to mention Amon run as villain ended far too early, even though I liked his conclusion. In fact I thought his brother Tarrlock was a much better character. I can see myself watching this series one time over after its all said and done, yet I've watched the original series 3 times with the intention to watch it many more times over. I still dont know why they decided to cut the shows intro from the video below into a bland cut up shortened version.

It feels rushed because there was no filler. People forget how much filler episodes were in the original and also this wasn't suppose to last more than one season. More like a mini-series before it was called for a 2nd season.

 

[Buzzman]

You can have no filler and still not have it feel rushed. What took Aang 3 years to accomplish felt like a cakewalk for Korra in being able to enter the Avatar state freely. I get that it was supposed to be one season but they changed it into two, but that doesnt mean you cant adjust and rewrite some things, but that's all mute since we know nothing of season 2 at this point. And to say we got no filler is wrong, there was a lot of subplot that could have been chopped off.

Disagree and I don't think they were trying to improve on anything. One thing that excited me about Korra(even before it started) was that they purposely contrasted the show from the first series. So it's really just a matter of which style you prefer.

The Last Airbender had 60 something episodes, Korra had 12.
The Last Airbender was a character driven plot, Korra is a story driven one.
The Last Airbender was an epic, Korra took place in one city.

Two completely different shows. How can you "complain" that a 12 episode action show has less character development than a series 5 times its length? That'd be like if I went back to watch The Last Airbender and then complained that its first 12 episodes aren't as good as Korra's first 12, and that the story isn't moving along fast enough.

 

[Houston]

Series has been expanded to 52 episodes. I'm very interested in seeing what direction they'll take from here.

 

[Buzzman]

No fucking way.

 

[KNUBB]

The show has been picked up for 2 more additional seasons.
