Legend Of Korra: Everything is going South

Legend of Korra is what happens when you combine Batman: The Animated Series, Baccano and the original Avatar: The Last Airbender. It features Korra, the new Avatar as she deals with the problems of the spiritual world of the past clashes with the new technological advances. Together she has adventures with her friends Bolin, Mako, Asami, her teacher Tenzin and police chief Lin Beifong.
Season one is now over. Season two begins sometime in the future. We don't know. Hopefully this year. Also I just saw someone un-ironically compare the Avatar finale to The Phantom Menace.
You can watch the episodes here officially.

It got pretty goosey near the end
I still hold incredibly high hopes for seasons 2 and 3
Forty episodes devoted to an overarching spirit-based plot
That's what I want the most

they have all ten previously aired episodes up to watch for free!
It uh, really took a nose dive while I was at work.
...I liked it, and most of my issues with it are explained by the fact that they didn't know they were getting a second season while working on it.

If we go down this path we might end up trying to figure out the role of Aristotlean elements in this universe's physics
And then Knob will be proven right for all time
now i want positron bending
Well
And I'm not sure but Amon might have killed the lieutenant
the lieutenant survived
I'm sure he survived being thrown into a small pile of 2x4s
also if amon was a waterbender all along where did the equalists pick up chiblocking
something something MAGNETO
positrons are antiparticles, duder
So much more spirit stuff
<- physicist
wasn't there something that said magneto controls the electromagnetic and therefore electroweak forces?
no they learn a different form in the firebending masters
it's a couple episodes before the finale
like i actually think two

RE:The ending
The boat ride ends the way it does because Tarlokk sees that he and Noatak were twisted by their father to become instruments of revenge and were so twisted that when they ran away, they still wound up following his path. \
Tarlock struck hard at non benders because he saw them as a threat and he reacted to that threat. He realized i the end that his father's teaching made him react the way he did.
Amon's philosophy was based on fighting evil benders like his father but somewhere along the way it got twisted, either because of his father or because of the spirit world, he became the monster of vengeance his father wanted.
As the boat speeds away from the city, Tarlokk and Noatak slip back into those childhood roles they once had and realize how broken they are. Not only that, how dangerous they are. Naotak knew who his brother was and still took his bending. Tarlokk, even if he got his bending back, would still act in a cruel and vicious manner. No matter where they went or who they became, they would be Yakone's sons in flesh and in action.
In the end, Tarlokk didn't want that. And maybe Naotak could sense him through the bloodbending and didn't want that either.
I've just been reminded that firebending basically is chi-bending, and Iroh says so
Also I've jsut been reminded that one of my favorite scenes in the original series is when Aang sees Katara surrounded, and he's jsut come to terms with his love for her, and he has to choose between saving her and taking the time to unlock his chakras
And he lets her go
It's very good, almost heartrending. I couldn't have made that kind of choice as a young man in love
that was for redirecting lightning. channeling the energy through the body, from one arm, into the gut, back up to the other arm, and out.
then again, for Iroh, he redirected lots of things to his gut, oh ho ho

but anyway, electromagnetism can act through positrons (as they are by definition electrically charged particles)
but still the original post was a joke so...
The bad:
I finally had my suspension of disbelief broken re: Amon and Sato's wonderful toys. Everything else I could buy, with the possible exception of the large number of mechs, though they didn't appear to be platinum after their first appearance. A rear firing bola cannon designed specifically to stop propeller engines? In the same situation as Amon and Sato were in, Batman would reject that as "Too much design time, situation too unlikely to crop up, too little chance of success when it does."
I don't mind Korra betraying a friend's trust and Mako cheating on his girlfriend--there is at least one more season for them to have some consideration smacked into them--quite as much as the others, if only because the music, for their brief mackin', shifted to a minor key, rather than being accompanied by the continued celebratory music from the previous part of the scene. But still, annoying. Yes, yes, life-affirming power of love, teenagers are stupid in most matters, bullshit. Make their joyful decision to be douchebags a separate scene, not the coda to the scene where she (not explicit, but an interpretation from the previous thread that I like) decided not to commit suicide and her soul healed itself as a result.
The good:
And special mention to the ending scenes, with the small exceptions mentioned above. Right in the feels.
This was worth every second of my life I have spent watching it (and re-watching it).
The wait for the next season will be every bit as agonizing as the wait between seasons of Game Of Thrones.
Dang

Yeah people didn't seem to get that.
It's not like they could have stopped production and changed anything without having a riot on their hands.
my thoughts
I felt things wrapped up to convientantly, but it makes sense. Maybe if they had like 10 more minutes they could have shown Korra meditation trying to get her bending back, and summoning Aang, who helps rebond her to the elements and then teachers her to energy bend. Instead of the 30 second version we got. I'll just assume thats what actually happened.
All in all, I liked it. The series is so far not as great as the original, but its still really damned good
Anyways did anyone mention the scariest thing in this show? Episode 10
WHAT THE FUCK ARE SPIDERHYPHENRATS
uh who is everyone in this situation
