The Last Airbender/Legend of Korra Thread

...Yup. It's season 1 all over again. Oh well. I kind of enjoy being the lone person who doesn't cut a GROWN ASS WOMAN slack over being an immature putz.

He said, failing to realize that this (or at least, this thought) was likely the reason why she was out in some random earth kingdom fight club in the first place.

[Marcurix]

Your inability to grasp mental trauma is worrying.

Not surprising, but worrying.

No, you're the only person who expects her to act like a robot, a set characteristic ideal to you and if she doesn't she's a reversion and immature.

Which, all in all, makes it seem like you've never seen someone handle trauma before.

I expect her to act like THE AVATAR. Which she was doing pretty good last season. Slipped up once or twice, but actually grew for once. And one time-skip later, she's back to her season 1 mentality again. Everyone else is growing up. She's out of excuses this time.

The Avatar is human and humans act differently in the face of challenges. There is no set way to act like the Avatar, you only want her to act like Aang or whatever other idealized version you have in your head.

Aang entered the Avatar state when he found out his nation was killed, then pretty much shrugged his shoulders and carried on. This is something most people wouldn't do, and its not overly surprising Korra didn't do.

Which she was doing pretty good last season. Slipped up once or twice, but actually grew for once. And one time-skip later, she's back to her season 1 mentality again. Everyone else is growing up. She's out of excuses this time.

It's not an excuse. From season one Korra's position as the Avatar has been under assault, and this is not something Aang had to face. Had Aang been part of the Fire Nation they would have happily used him for their purposes, Korra however is having to face the future of her very position. She is having her whole purpose in life, the one she was raised for, thrown into question and she is likely trying to find a place in the world where she isn't the Avatar. It happens.

Oh, I forgot how tiring these little back and forth's can get...

[Marcurix]

Oh, I forgot how tiring these little back and forth's can get...

Oh, poor you.

[Licana]

Oh, I forgot how tiring these little back and forth's can get...

I heard being unjustified/wrong can do that. Of course, I wouldn't know myself.

[Ameriganastan]

Though Korra isn't the only issue here. It seems Opal has stepped into the required "I'm gonna act like a gigantic bitch" role in Korra's absence.

[Ameriganastan]

...Okay, now that my rage has subsided, I think I may have overreacted with the "Want her dead" bit...

[New haven america]

<_<

>_>

Are you just randomly complaining now....?

[Jaslandia]

We've all seen that Kuvira's methods are... questionable. Since Bolin is part of Kuvira's team, it seems reasonable for Opal to express moral concern over Bolin's actions.

[Licana]

Questionable?

Well, that's obvious. Hotty McBadguy will eventually tell him to do something horrible, he'll disagree and fight against her.

[Blasveck]

You know what, it's official. I want Korra dead. I want her dead and gone so they can maybe try and write a character who isn't an immature fucking child.

You have issues.

Serious issues.

But this has been how you are ever since TLOK started.

Season 4 comes out: thread explodes.

This rather seems to be a near constant thing with you.

Name me one other time in the 2 years this thread has been active that I wished death on Korra. You can't. Cause I've only done it once. When I overreacted.

She will invade republic city, look at the map seriously.

Also on the Korra issue can you at least not complain until they spell it out why she isn't there?
She could be for example trying to return to her skill by going under a journey similar to Aang's by travelling the world. This is all that I'll say though because this conversation turns nothing sooner or latter.

When mentioning that someone is having a meltdown in A&F elicits the response "I bet it's Ameri", it's not something you've "done once", it's become your defining feature.


Anyway: New Airbender suits means new opportunities for Simpsons references.

[Laerod]

First of all, Ameri, I give you permission to complain about Korra.

So, Opal & Bolin, and Kai & Jinora. Not surprising, after 3 years. Also, Bolin is working for Kuvira, and Mako is Prince Wu's security guard. I guess Earth King Kuei has spawned a ton of narcissists and tyrants. Courtesy of his wife, perhaps. I already don't like Kuvira. Also, I wonder for the status of Omashu. does it support Kuvira? has it joined her? Is it stable? I hope these questions are answered. Also, Korra? she seems to have ran away from her problems, and is acting like her typical Book 1 self. I don't like it. The world needs its avatar, just as much as it did during the 100-year war.

We know where Omashu is. We also saw Kuvira's map of the Earth Kingdom with the areas she controls. If someone can get a screenshot of Kuvira's map, we can easily determine the status of Omashu.

Also, I'm curious, is Kuvira making no pretenses of conquering for anyone but herself, or is she claiming to conquer in the name of the Earth King, Metal Clan, or some other power?

So, map of the avatar world and a screenshot of Kuvira's map. Omashu is 33 on the former, so it would appear that it has not been conquered as it corresponds to the unclaimed bit under Kuvira's left shoulder.

Maybe she remembers what happened the last time Omashu was "Conquered".

[The Alma Mater]

Well, obviously. The earth Queens whole rant about how Aang "swindled" the land from the earth kingdom must lead somewhere

[The Flood]

Well this was a good episode and I am enjoying Kuvira a lot myself though she is certainly going to be a villain due to foreshadowing and her strategy of realpolitik. She seems to be an Avatarverse version of Otto von Bismarck to be honest.

I'm a bit confused by her motives; is she reuniting the Earth Kingdom for the Prince, and perhaps planning to use him as a puppet? Or does she want to conquer the whole thing for herself and proclaim herself Earth Queen?
