The Last Airbender/Legend of Korra Thread

They're jealous they can't bend.

I just realized two things.

1. "They're jealous they can't bend" sounds kinky as hell.
2. When you think about it, what Korra said makes sense.

By the way, thank you for saving my thread.

well that was fast

[Mavorpen]

well that was fast

I think it was rather slow for the internet.

Meh......
The Main Villian should be more powerfull.

Well the whole concept is not an unstoppable evil but rather a challenger to the old way. Think of the show as this: Korra is preserving the old ways of the bending world, keeping the class structure. Perhaps benders do have better treatment because of their ability. Now a guy comes along and wants everyone else at the top. He wants to make sure that your social status isn't dependent on heritage or bending status, but on wealth and government position. Amon would be the guy you rally behind. Let's say he tried to be peaceful at one point, but was ignored because the establishment is run by heredity (IE Chied Bei-Fong) or by benders (IE Councilman Tenzin). So he goes with the violent path, to ensure success. He rallies the poorer, non-benders into his movement in order to tip the scales. Once he has their attention, they might listen to him or he might go even further and achieve his goal.

The plot is based more on culture struggle rather than an actual struggle. It makes for more intrigue because both sides have equally valid and invalid reasons for doing what they do.

I don't even think we've seen what he can do...

I think That rules out a good story, the benders can just wipe the "bad guys" out.
The bad guy has to be a REAL threat or it won,t be fun to watch.

In one of the trailers. Korra is fighting one of the Equalists and her chi is blocked in one of her arms. If Ty Lee was so badass and dangerous in the first show, why would you eve think the Equalists won't be dangerous?

So non-benders can't threaten benders? Ty Lee would like a word with you.

Because never really hurt anybody, her powers can,t kill.
The Equalists are not even armed for petes sake......

Are you kidding me? Chi blocking can render you useless, and they can EASILY finish Korra off if they block her chi. Do you know what you're talking about?

We have yet to see an actual full fight involving them. Also, they do have weapons.

Take your pick. Chi-Strike to the neck, Chi-strike to the heart, take out a knife and gut her. Ect. Use your imagination.

[Thrinia]

Sure, but they should at least have Sharp weapons, like blades or something....
Just to make them look deadly.

To subtle really.
The fire nation burned down entire towns!
What are these guys supposed to do?

And what makes you think they don't? The fact is this: attacking a bender with a sharp object will get you fucked up. Chi blocking is the BEST way to fight a bender. If they want to finish her off with a sharp object, I see no reason why they can't possibly have one.

You don't think they have bombs or something? You're assuming that there is no possible way they have any type of major weapon.

They wear masks that make them look intimidating.

Also, Chi blocking is probably more useful than METAL blades against METALBENDING police officers in Republic City.

Sure, but the need to be able to destroy stuff as well.
You know cause some mindless property damage....

I dunno, take out elite police forces with their hands, hold council members hostage, bombing attacks, etc.

Have you ever heard of a terrorist? They cause more panic than an invading army sometimes.

You do realize that they want to take out BENDERS correct? They run on support from the people. Why would anyone support them if they destroyed their homes, shops, etc.? I'm beginning to think you haven't read anything about the show.

Sure, but they cant win the war.
So it would just go on and on........
