Stavros Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 I think energybending might be something that's available to everyone, but almost nobody has the knowlage. Amon misuses it but I think the final resolution will be Korra freeing the potential to energybend in everyone, making them equals by elevating the common man and not bringing down the benders.

KnightWing Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Or maybe if Amon really is Aang's non-bending kid, then he just inherited the ability to energybend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Or maybe if Amon really is Aang's non-bending kid, then he just inherited the ability to energybend. I don't know why but I've never really bought that theory, I guess it's because it just seems to obvious. Plus it doesn't really seem right that Bumi is Amon, we already know what he looks like and Katara brought him up in conversation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightWing Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Seriously, this show gets better and better with each episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Aang took Ozai's abilities, Amon does the same. You're right though, chi-blocking could be different to the actual power-stealing technique. This is a picture of the guy- Well it turns out it's councilman Tarlock (or Yakone). Another great episode, but I'm really looking forward to next week, Out of the Past, when she will hopefully contact Aang There's a theory going around that Tarlock is Yakone's son, very possible. It's also nice to have a water tribe villain rather than another fire nation villain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
You Know Who Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 Just saw "Out of the Past" Full flashback with Aang, Toph, the dude in the photo above, and Sokka! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 I swear, it's like the people behind this show keep forgetting they're making a cartoon. They put way more maturity and brilliantly-conceived storytelling into it than is necessary for even the average adult-aimed prime time series. At this point, I'm about ready to go put on a nice suit, hop on a bicycle and start going from door to door spreading the good news of Korra.

dc20willsave Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 Blood Bending was gruesome in the original series. The extreme it gets taken to in Legend of Korra is all kinds of unsettling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
You Know Who Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 No shit I seriously thought Yukone snapped Toph's neck when I first saw the courtroom flashback (hell, maybe he did; we don't see her recover onscreen). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 I thought he broke Aang's hand until a few seconds later when Aang seemed fine. I kind of wonder; if Aang going into the avatar state can break through bloodbending, does that mean that he's bloodbending himself in order to counter it? If that's the case, one of the previous avatars would have to have known bloodbending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 I don't know I just assumed the strength of all the past avatars outweighed the strength of Yakone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Oh, like the physical strength? Hmm. I guess I thought the avatar state was something that only affected bending, not physical power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kscriv Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Why are these spoilers, this happened in an episode that aired on normal TV 2 days ago. Btw, maybe Katarra taught him the basics behind it, so he knew the theory, but under normal circumsatces, coudl not execute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Wow, that was a pretty dark way to end the season but then there's the hope and... I honestly got to say that this might be the best episode of the franchise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Finally sat down to watch this and oh my god I want season 2 now. I don't know if I would go as far as too say it's the best episode of the franchise but definitely the best season finale. I actually thought the ending was very optimistic, there were no huge cliffhangers. This series and franchise needs to go down as one of the landmarks of animation just like The Simpsons and Batman: The Animated Series. I hope season 2's ratings shoot up and LOK becomes much more widely recognized, these guys deserve it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kscriv Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 I said it on Facebook and I'll say it here. This may be the best show on television this year (at least for the next month or two until Breaking Bad comes along and tops it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stavros Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Great couple of episodes, but I'd have been happier with a more Empire Strikes Back kind of ending, have Korra deal with just being an airbender for a while. Her getting access to her spiritual side because she's sad was a bit of a cop-out for me. The ending of Amon and Tarlok was seriously dark though, kudos for getting that in. Plus I can't wait to meet Bumi! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 For anyone with nicktoons After the finale, The Legend of Korra fans can learn more about the mythology and creation of this franchise by tuning into the Nicktoons’ “Korra: Making of a Legend” special event from July 9 – July 20 during which all twelve episodes from Season 1, Book 1 will air weekdays at 9:00 p.m. (ET/PT). Each “creators cut” episode offers insight into the creation of the stunning imagery, mythology and storyline where series creators and executive producers, Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, provide commentary.

KnightWing Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Great couple of episodes, but I'd have been happier with a more Empire Strikes Back kind of ending, have Korra deal with just being an airbender for a while. Her getting access to her spiritual side because she's sad was a bit of a cop-out for me. The thing is, that's perfectly in line with the spiritual philosophy of the show, what with Aang having to essentially die to self in order to purposely go into the Avatar state and all. It's part of the teachings of Eastern philosophies; reducing the self in order to attain greater enlightenment. For me, that whole triumphant moment at the end was SO much more powerful than the sad ending. Just having Korra be depressed at the end would have been a lot less meaningful than her getting that huge spiritual revelation and finally becoming the Avatar in full. The Empire Strikes Back thing, I think, requires an ongoing unresolved plot to go with it. Since they didn't really leave any plot threads going and basically ended the story as it was, I don't think it would have fit to have an unresolved feeling of depression with Korra.

JackFetch Posted August 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 There is an animated movie in the works. http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/08/17/the-legend-of-korra-the-movie?utm_campaign=ign+main+twitter&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 This could be really good as long as it's 2D animated and Bryan and Mike have complete control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Yeah. Considering that each season of Korra is supposed to be a standalone story, adding another standalone movie shouldn't be a problem. It would definitely be amazing to have a movie-level budget for the animation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
