The Last Airbender/Legend of Korra Thread

[Mavorpen]

Looks amazing...I was so mad when the Last Airbender ended. CANT WAIT

It's so good that you had to say it twice.

But yes, Korra is going to be even better than ATLA because it has the feel down. ATLA was great, no question but the creators now know exactly how to make Korra.

Also, Tenzin is my favorite character.

My favorite part out of the first two episodes:


"DON'T YOU BRING MY MOTHER INTO THIS!"-Tenzin

Eh, its probably just to show the difference between Republic City and the rest of the nations. While the Nations still practice traditional bending probably, the City has to adapt to its urban, multicultural atmosphere with new styles of bending.

Yeah, but I'm still really hoping that Korra sticks to more traditional fighting styles outside of the Pro-bending arena.

I dunno, I want to see how this new bending style works out of the ring.

From what I've gathered, it's good for quick movements and attacks, so she could use it to make her Earthbending quicker and reduce the chances of her getting caught in a stance where she's locked up. Other than that I can't really think of any instance where it would give her a significant advantage.

Probably not causing public destruction and mayhem, as we saw when she bended in the city streets.

Well I was expecting her Airbending training to reduce the destruction. I guess you're right about that as well though.

Probably just spending more time in such an urban environment should help.

True. I mean Team Avatar didn't destroy that much while they were in Ba Sing Se, not that it was enormously "urban" by today's standards.

Republic City is certainly far more modern and urban then any other city we've seen previously.
I was shocked when I saw streets and CARS everywhere. To quote the wiki:

A modern urban center, it has significant high-rise development, notable technological advancements, and use of automobiles, motorcycles, and airships widespread.[3]

Those 2 episodes have set my imagination running wild.
The Benders of the world enter, the space age!

Well, that's because they didn't fight much in the city. But oh, when they did... Toph punching a whole in the wall, assaulting the Earth Palace...

I wasn't shocked that there were cars, just that they were extremely common. After all, we saw some "advanced" technology in the first show, but they were only available to specific groups of people (usually in the fire kingdom). This leads me to think that the fire kingdom probably contributed more to the technological advances than any of the other kingdoms.

True. I don't really think that the city will come unscathed either way though.

Probably. The Fire Nation was heavily steampunk even in the original series, so they probably utilized this technology, in unison with other inventors such as that dude hiding in one of the Air Temples, to make what we now see in Republic City.

Probably not. I think that she'll stick to the pro-bending style when in most confrontations, and only unleash the obviously stronger traditional bending when things look grim and/or when she is outnumber or not so worried about casualties or damage.

When I think about it, this could be a source of prejudice the Equalists. Maybe they see how society progressed, not through bending, but through the technological knowledge of people who weren't necessarily benders. They might also see the benders as a threat to the advances that they've made. They probably think, "Look at what we've accomplished, we don't need benders."

Makes me wonder how many benders helped construct their precious city.

Probably quite a lot, since Aang actually came up with the idea for the city in the first place and intended for benders to live with non-benders.

Cool. Cool cool cool.

[Mavorpen]

Cool. Cool cool cool.

Needs more cools in there.

[Nationstatelandsville]

It only gets four cools. It lacks a giant sloth bear beaver thing.

I'm sure it'll turn up eventually, although I'm not sure that they cross three species together, only two.

Are you kidding? I love the show.

Besides, Equalists are badass.

They're jealous they can't bend.

[Vitius]

They called a pro-bender team the ferrets >_>

King Kuei's bear was funny, but NO MORE PLAIN ANIMALS
