Legend Of Korra: Everything is going South

His voice, even his attitude and demeanor are just so similar.
they managed to completely avoid dealing with the conflict they brought up with the whole equalist thing in the first place
my question comes from a lot of people still saying 'well amon had the right idea just for bad reasons'
Cyborg Linja.
Especially for Avatar. Given their past experiences with the network, I could see why the creators would want to make their business with them as short/modular as possible. At any moment the network might decide the show isn't capturing some arbitrary demographic and start passive-aggressively canceling the series by moving around time-slots and delaying episodes without warning.
It wasn't until I read Zanzibar that I realized it wasn't a Robocop reference.
Because Lin is a cop, you see.
Because it was an established point and (possibly out of concern for time?) they didn't hammer at it every episode
I do sort of agree we aren't shown a resolution for that conflict but it was definitely stated to exist which is where the "amon is right but for bad reasons/is going about it stupid" comes from
I would be very surprised if all of the members of the council were not benders. I don't see how a non-bender would be pleased with Tarrlok's law that all non-benders needed a curfew, and also his general attitude that non-benders were by default Equalist suspects. His blatant suspicion of anyone who was not a bender would have made a non-bender council member very uncomfortable.

Not clear. But even if he did, we know that the council isn't historically made up solely of benders: in Aang's time it was at least 40% non-bender, and very possibly more.
Even if the council is solely made up of benders, it's a new political element of bender/non-bender relations, not an iteration of long-standing prejudices and privileges
but for such a big aspect of the backdrop in which the series was based, 'show, don't tell' seems like a valid criticism, and if they were really so pressed for time where they couldn't devote more than a few lines of the narrative to setting up the tone for the entire conflict, then maybe all the comments about pacing hold some water after all.
He must be great in bed.
What fan "loves" not getting more of a show they like?

Are folks just forgetting that genetics do have the tendency to sometimes make you sound and act similar to your relatives?
It's really not that uncommon.

I think it's just jarring for some people
Is there any reason why they can't sound the same? Of course not. It just felt awkward at first. By the end of the finale, I got used to it.
But, I mean
40%? Where did that number come from?
The council isn't that big. There are only 5 members composed of representatives from the Earth Kingdom, Fire Nation, Air Nomads, and both the Northern and Southern Water Tribes. Where was there an implication that any of these nations go out of their way to have a non-bender represent them?

but I hate that can never speculate on non-heteronormative romances

I think that's kind of the idea: that from a political or social standpoint, we're never really shown that there's a dichotomy between benders and non-benders at all.
The air acolyte is a non-bender
2/5 = 40%
That's all I meant
Holy crap I thought that voice sounded familiar. :O

i actually just said that like last page
i don't think there's anyone left on this forum that would get riled up by that, dubh
yeah, that is annoying.
Not that i often speculate at relationships, but people think you got some kind of agenda when it's not a straight couple. And that's stupid.
Cause everyone has an agenda when they couple fictional characters together.
Swordfights is right
Nickelodeon is still a primarily heteronormative environment
But there's no particular reason to think that Iroh and Bumi don't get their smooch on, or whatever, even if you know it will never happen in the series
If you're into the shipping thing, that is
Huh, I didn't even notice that. I guess Zuko just has a more memorable voice.

Gonna assume you mean original Iroh and original Bumi.
because it's not even close to being stale

Speculate all you want. No one is stopping you.
It's just never going to actually happen on the show, so that's inevitably going to be the response anyone gets to bringing up such a pairing.

Well I guess it depends on why, and how much context you're basing said speculation on, if any
If it's just for kicks, sure
but I think most of the dissenting reactions you'd get would be based on the lack of evidence to back up the speculation.
If you go to the council chamber on the Republic City interactive thing, it shows the Fire Nation representative bending a little flame.
"that's not all i can do with my nose" bumi said gravelly
that's part of the problem
