First Thread
Second Thread

Legend of Korra is the show that continues the hit series that was Avatar: The Last Airbender. It's pretty good, so if you have the chance check it out on Nick Saturdays @ 11 or on your favorite VOD stores a while later you really should. Also check out the original series on Netflix instant or just buy the DVDs, you won't be disappointed.

Characters:
Korra

Voiced by Janet Varney

Korra is the new Avatar and you're going to have to deal with that. Born in the southern water tribe, she learned how to control water, fire and earth at a very young age and as the show starts she is going to Republic City to learn from Tenzin about how to control air. She's brash and doesn't really like to think things through preferring to just hit it with brute force. She is rarely seen without her faithful polar bear dog Naga.

Tenzin

Voiced by J.K. Simmons

Avatar Aang's youngest son, he teaches the art of Airbending. Always trying to remain calm, his patience is constantly tested by not only Avatar Korra but by his children, all of which are Airbenders.

Bolin

Voiced by P.J. Byrne

An Earthbender who grew up on the streets of Republic City with his older brother Mako. Despite his hard life growing up he always has a grin on his face and a lady on his arm. He also founded his own pro bending team "The Fire Ferrets" named after his pet.

Mako

Voiced by David Faustino

Mako is the older brother of Bolin, more hardened by life on the street then his brother, he is willing to do anything to get them a better life, joining in the pro bending tournaments for the prize money.

Chief Lin Bei Fong

iKxcxOa3ODYLq.jpg
Voiced by Mindy Sterling

Daughter of Toph Bei Fong, Lin has risen through the ranks of the Republic City Police to become the chief. Even though she and Korra are on the same side she views Korra as Republic City's biggest threat and seeks to push her out.

Amon

Voiced by Steve Blum

Not much is know about Amon other the fact that he hates benders, seeking to wipe them out with the help of his group, the Equalists.

We are going to argue in this thread, BFL and Bug Boy will tell us how great Avatar: The Last Airbender is and we may talk about Korra.

    I'm still sometimes amazed at what a meathead Korra is. She literally tries to solve problems by headbutting them.

    I don't wanna kill anybody. I don't like bullies. I don't care where they're from.

    Jumping back to last thread, I thought the downfall of Azula was amazing...
    right down to the very last whimper you hear leave her mouth. That frantic I'm scarred and furious at the same time gasp that you can hear being pushed through her teeth..just makes me look at her with such disgust. I love feeling that kind of emotion at a fictional character.

    I agree that I think it's her friends betrayal that starts rocking the boat of her sanity. True that the perfectionist probably took a hit, but I think it was the logical fallacy that confuses her more. To her, she was on the winning team, and the MVP, yet for some reason, a person who has always been looked down on compared to her, is someone earning more and more respect/compassion/love. She can't see the logic behind it.

    a big part of understanding the ozai/azula relationship is remembering that azula, like ozai, was the second-born

    Kinda hoping Rolo is right, just because the wailing and gnashing that will be coming from people who take their cartoons far too seriously will never not be hilarious

    just talked to Brian Konnectso and he's not even sure if he should release the next episode

    because SOME PEOPLE are saying maksami is the canon ship when it CLEARLY should be korrlin

    so he's going to stop drawing new episodes until those shippers agree with me/him

    man I'm only just beginning season 2

    but how did anyone ever think zutara was a thing

    the only times they've met they were trying to kick the crap out of each other

    meanwhile, kataang is being telegraphed so hard the western union operator has to go to his boss to fix the machine

    As for Azula.
    I think Ursa had a very difficult choice as a mother.
    She could probably never hope to match the influence Azulon and Ozai would have on Azula. Add that with Azulas predisposition towards violence and cruelty...well. If Azula had been the only child Ursa probably would have tried to make the best of it, and while Azula probably wouldn't be a super swell person she would probably have been a little less crazy.
    Zuko on the other hand. He cared. He was twisted by his desire to "regain his honor", but before that he was a pretty nice guy. However, that and "not super ultra talented" (or rather, talented, but a bit clumsy) is not something good if you're the son of a ambitious father.
    To top it all up. Azula had the makings of a monster, but a monster that fit right in with Fire nation culture (a culture that was quite acceptant of atrocities in the name of martial excellence and perfectionism in general. In a single word "Driven", even their firebending is fueled by ambitions and drive. The more driven you are, the stronger your bending is).
    Zuko on the other hand REALLY needed his mother. Not to become a nice person, but to survive at all. Without Ursa he would have been crazy or dead.
    Or at least I think Ursa believed that. If Ursa had been a different kind of mother I at least hope that Iroh would have stepped in and adopted Zuko like he practically did once Ursa was gone and Zuko got banished

    There is exactly one scene in the last or second to last episode of season 2 where there is even the most remote "support" for zutara

    But I'm pretty sure skullman summed it up best: shippers crushing on zuko identified with katara the most as a character and decided she should totally jerk-bend him
