After watching the last few weeks episodes, seeing Jinora utilizing spirit powers and the way she gets played by even Tenzen (during the tattoo scenes) make me think she is getting too powerful.

Anytime something important needs to happens, Jinora can handle it. She Mine as well replace Korra.
>>
>>63762898
maybe i havent been watching very carefully but is her airbending really all that spectacular? it seems to me no single airbender so far in this show has even once approached what Aang did on a regular basis.
As for her spirit powers, nah that's cool. think of her like scarlet witch. is she op? well technically.
>>
>>63763899
Zaheer's been doing some pretty cool stuff with his airbending
>>
>>63762898
Her only power is to get the plot moving. Unless they have her summon an army of spirits to fight for her, she's not very powerful. Meelo kicks more ass than she does, and he's only 6.

Her spirit powers just seem to be made up on the spot for whatever situation she's facing.

Need to search underground?
>Oh by the way, I can still astrally project my spirit.

Need to find Kai specifically?
Oh, and I can locate him because of our special connection.

Need to send a message to Lassie because the baby bisons fell down a well?
>Oh, I can summon spirit critters who can relay messages to other spirits that only Bumi can understand, even though spirits have been regularly shown to be capable of speaking with regular humans just fine but I chose to summon one who can't for some reason.

Not yet. Wait until she gets her tattoos.

Gotta shave bare to get the ink. Might grow back after, so there is a chance they will cheat us with a time skip.

There is no way Nick will let a preteen get tattoo's. I imagine they only let it slide with aang because he already had them. If they show Jinora getting them of have gotten them then every soccer mom in the country will cry "muh imitable acts".

No, in fact she has to be saved by Kai so much that when she goes like "IM JUST AS GOOD AS YOU DAD" all I can do is roll my eyes.

They're doing a good job (imo) of balancing her being talented for her age with her still being a kid who still has room to grow. It's better than how they handled the Gaang's "we flawlessly win every fight until the plot demands we lose" thing anyway.

>>63764531
Right but they never showed him with out them. Nick could of thought kids were to stupid to make the connection but with Jinora that's not the case. Kids could she her without them and then with them. Not saying I agree with them but showing a kid getting tattoos with the course of the actual story will get to many people angry and crying about imitable acts.

IIRC they do in a couple of flashbacks. I remember he didn't have them when he first met Appa.

Nick will probably allow it because it's a cultural thing, Jinora's not getting the tattoos for shits and giggles. At the most we'll probably just see her shaved with bandages on her head and then her hair will start to grow back.

He's probably the strongest airbender around, until they decide to give Tenzin or his kids a boost.

Zaheer being so retardedly good at airbending is still the biggest bs so far.
>>
>>63766188
it's strongly implied that he has studied air nomad culture for quite a while before HERPDERPSPIRITS were giving air bending away like candy. It's entirely likely he went out and learned some air bender stances and forms just as a way of becoming a more agile fighter. If that were the case, he would really only need a short amount of practice once he actually gained the abilities.

Also, he really doesn't seem to be that good at bending. Sure, he is powerful, but he hasn't been shown to have that much control over it. He doesn't do any fancy techniques, like the air scooter, air sickles, or anything like that. He kinda just uses it as brute force to slap shit around, or dampen his falls.

It really is fucking pathetic how Tenzin 12 year old daughter is apparently as powerful as him

The only reason no one has utilized Air Blades yet is because it's possibly the most overpowered ability in the show.
Everything can be solved with Air Blades.

Why can't she be the Avatar?

>>63769093
Because Raava fused with Korra again

Can you even imagine if it'd gone to Jinora instead, that shit would be hilarious

Jinora becomes the main character and Korra is relegated to bitter b-tier

the show improves tenfold

so the season is 13 episode long, right? And we are at the 7th one.

And what is exactly the plot? I feel like nothing has really happened

Zaheer cut the water barrel in half with an air blade.

Nothing happened.

Except well... Airbenders coming back, the Fantastic 4 escaping, and Korra making an enemy of the Earth Queen.
But other than that nothing.

We're going to help reconstruct the Air nation.

Lin's backstory, character development, Korra learned to Metalbend, Zaheer showed off a new skill, Kai and Jinora's budding romance, training of the new airbenders, learned of the death of an important character from the old show...

I guess that's fucking nothing.
>>
>>63769783
Apparently.

>>63769805
Don't listen to him, he's just an idiot

The plot's centered around the aftermath of Korra's decisions in the Harmonic Convergence, specifically the return of the airbending and the resultant escape of a really fucking dangerous and knowledgeable criminals. They're being built up in the background while the efforts to rebuild the Air Nomads take center stage, which has gone from finding them to freeing them to training them. Also Mako/Bolin's, Lin's/her family's and some more of Tenzin and his family's issues all play out in surprisingly interesting and well executed ways.

I'm actually pretty impressed so far. I dropped Season 2 after Wan, but I'm back on board with this season now. Except for the first episode, Korra's been relegated mostly to the background, which I think has actually made a huge difference. She's still one of the weakest parts of her own show, so it's nice to have the rest of the cast fill in so nicely.
>>
>>63770119
Most of that is just shipping and teen angst.
>>
>>63769890
Anon, are we watching the same thing? The last two episodes were some of the best in the show so far. If you think "nothing" happened you either need to rewatch or reevaluate what you think "things happening" means.

I fully disagree, but I agree, Mako and Bolin and Lin getting development has been great. I no longer hate Mako, and while Bolin hasn't been useful or anything, he seems more likeable and developed this time around. I especially liked the little scene between Bumi and Tenzin at the end of Ep. 7.
>>
>>63770305

Wow, what a halfassed shitpost.
At least try to make it seem like you watched it or at least read a summary.
>>
>>63770192
You're a fucking idiot.

I'm sorry, but there's really no other way to put it. That's wrong.

There are two romantic sub-plots, both of which have have some character development and are nicely tied into the plot without being obtrusive. They're even brand new characters with smooth and logical introductions, and story reasons to exist outside of being shipped.

I don't even fucking know where you're getting teen angst from. The only one with angst so far is Lin, and she's not a teen. Jinora wanting her tattoos, maybe, but no-one made a particularly big deal out of it and it was resolved in an episode. Barely qualifies.

Look, I hate the shitty parts of LoK as much as the next guy, but this season is legitimately good so far, if still rough around the edges. Don't let previous disappointment wreck what good there is to pull out of this thing.

Lin is not a teen but she is surely acting like one.

Toph was one of the few things I didn't like about that episode, actually, although really my only reason is she doesn't at all line up with her previous portrayal. It makes sense, even, I can see the character going that route, it just threw me off. If I hadn't seen the original I probably would have barely noticed her.

Who would her team be?
Even though it doesn't make that much sense, I think Jinora, Lin, Varrick (w/ iron man suit), and Eska would be a cool team.

Jinora's the brainiac, Varrick's the idea guy, Lin's the muscle, and Eska is the delicious brown.

I'm still upset that Vatu didn't possess Jinora. It would have worked quite well.

Unalaq wants to fuse with Vatu, only to be rejected because of Jinora has a superior connection that makes her a more suitable vessel

Meelo has always been alright except when fartbending.

And god damn the little shit kicks ass. In Book 1 he also kicked equalist ass without fartbending.

The thing is, they taught a lot of the history through word of mouth before the fire nation fucked everything up, Jinora had to get all her information from books about air society.

I just saw E3 Episode 7 and while she is skilled, she isn't that powerful nor could she sense an attack. I'm not familiar with female airbenders, but do they shave their heads too? Bald airbending men could sense an oncoming attack with a clean shaven head, but what about women?

>>63770955
Someone should draw an older Meelo standing above a mountain of skulls with grin on his face.

He definitely seems to have a different style than the rest of the air benders. He throws a lot more of his body weight around it seems. Personally I like it.

>>63770617
Opal decided to begin living for herself and doing what makes her happy instead of constantly worrying about her mother, a realization which Lin helped her reach after she herself came to terms with her feelings/anger toward her sister and mother, reconciled with/forgave them for their past wrongs, and entered back into her sister's life.

Although it was mostly retroactive, we saw/heard of how Lin's sister when from shithead Toph 2.0 to the matriarch is today.

Jinora's beginning to mature and chafe at her father's restrictions, and seek more freedom and responsibility (dating Kai, breaking rules, wanting her tattoos).

Like >>63770655 said, Bolin's beginning to learn that he doesn't need to keep a goofy facade up at all times and it's ok/beneficial to let his real self/desires show more

Tenzin realized that he's a crappy teacher and needs to pay more attention to his student's needs

Bumi realized he's a crappy lazy student and that what Tenzin is trying to teach him is worthwhile and has value, not to mention the whole can be/quit being/return to being an airbender, which I hope gets explored more because Bumi's awfully one-dimensional and this is a really interesting direction for him.

Kai is maybe? learning to be less of a little shit, there's not been of much of that yet

Korra is (wrongly) learning to have more faith in her abilities and decisions as an Avatar to bring about change, maybe, not too sure about that

That's all that comes to mind, there's undoubtedly more I'm not seeing/thinking of
>>
eh I don't think she is. she's always been built up as a studious prodigy, it just so happens that she has a greater spiritual potential than even her father. i feel like the show is calling her a master a little too soon, but it's not that big a deal.

kai, on the other hand, is a complete sue. he's had about as much training as the other recruits (all of who were kidnapped by the Earth Queen) yet he seems to be able to beat everyone in combat already with very little build-up behind it. if the show is overpowering anyone it's him.

In Aang's time, the Air Nomad culture seemed pretty uniform. Water benders have foggy swamp tribe, Northern Water Tribe, and Southern Watertribe. Earth Kingdom have their various minor kings, Sandbenders, Kyoshi Island warriors, etc. Even Fire Nation had those Aztec looking firebenders.

But with the air nomads, I got the impression that whether you go to North, South, East, or West temple, the people there would generally be the same.

Tenzin did his best to make the air acolytes a carbon copy of Aang's culture, but it could be interesting to see Tenzin's kids each run in their own different direction for how to be air acolytes, and have their followers reflect their beliefs too.

She probably does, which is why she wants her tattoos. She didn't invent anything but if she's eligible by Tenzin's admission, then she's technically a master.
>>
>>63771107
Aang got the master's tattoo at age 12, Jinora is at the age where it is expected. Kai lived his life as a rouge thief, his fighting style (quick, avoidant, good balance and coordination) suits airbending compared to the others who have no combat experience or are unbalanced.

They've shown him to be the most talented new recruit a few times, but so far his notable exploits in combat have involved taking down a guy who was distracted with a hostage and beating up a poacher who was trying to surrender

Also suckerpunching Mako on a train, if you want to count that

He nearly got killed by a fucking Bison, for crying out loud, and he's a bit of a shithead of a kid besides. Why is everyone so eager to call Sue these days?

Aang can run so fast he creates tornadoes, blow on the ground to create massive instant dust clouds for escape, fly like a helicopter carrying a person heavier than him using his feet all by only twirling a stick, and ice breath so cold it instantly freezes metal.

Jinora needs her non-master boyfriend to save her and has a bullshit Astral Projection power that Zaheer already taught himself.

Her advise was perfectly sound, it's not her fault he decided to take Bumi's advice to the letter and ignore Jinora's protests.

Being an avatar doesn't make you naturally better with your element. I mean Korra wasn't naturally good with water, in fact she was better with fire at a young age,

>>63771453
No I'm pretty sure Aang did that too in ATLA.

And I don't think projection is limited to airbenders, you'd just find more people who can do it among them.

That was good but for the most part Tenzin and Bumi seem like immature manchildren. I can't point exactly what it is. I think the Lin/Suyin conflict could've been done a little better but those two, despite their flaws, still act and seem like adults to me. Tenzin and Bumi don't.

It's odd how different she is this season. She was supposed to be the meek, understanding type which fits the whole spiritual thing she has. You'd think she wouldn't lash out over tats and sulk over it.

Airbenders probably invented it but there's nothing stopping someone else from letting go of their earthly attachments. I wouldn't be surprised if Korra learns how to do it at one point.

That was just one guy. He said he wasn't an airbender, but he was a friend to them. He was more or less an air acolyte before air acolytes were a thing.
>>
>>63771659
He used it on Ozai and Amon's dad, I wouldn't be surprised if he did give like a really devout acolyte airbending in the hopes that he could restart the nation that way but became dismayed when he started fucking shit up as an airbender.

Then again, I'm a little tired of every other villain being created through spiritbending.
>>

>Behaving out of personality entirely
She wasn't, though. If she said something like screw the rules, I'm gonna hijack a bison and run away with Kai, THAT would be out of character.

She didn't say, "I want my tattoos NOW" she said, "according to our rules and traditions I'm more than qualified for my tattoos". There's a difference between the two.

Actually you're right, Tenzin was an idiot about the whole ting. The thing that surprises me most about Tenzin is how much he lacks empathy. For a guy who's a monk and worked in politics he sure is self centered and clueless about other people's feelings and motivations.

Yeah but Korra is the Avatar she's expected to do that kind shit because she use to be the bridge between the spirits and humans.

"Conflict resolution is what I do"

I got a bit of that too. I think Bryke and co. just have a hard time into adult personal drama/characters, honestly

Probably gets it from his mom.

>>63771783

Actually it makes decent sense. Tenzin truly believes in his lifestyle, so much he doesn't understand people want to eat meat and don't care for long, boring stories about guys that don't eat.
>>
>>63771753
not taking advantage of the opportunity of being able to commune with her past avatars is going to screw over Korra somehow in the future, as well as all future airbenders because their lineage will only date back to her and she won't even be able to pass on their knowledge (save spiritbending from aang and wan's story)
>>
>>63771783
>For a guy who's a monk and worked in politics he sure is self centered and clueless about other people's feelings and motivations.

He didn't exactly have any competition for his position in the council, since he was the only adult air bender at the time.

Probably explains why Tarlockk was about to talk circles around Tenzin and always get the other councilmen to support what he wanted instead of what Tenzin wanted.

I'm actually convinced they had Korra break her ties from all her past lives so they could get rid of spirit bending. Aang was the only one who actually knew it.

She couldn't take advantage, Aang broke the string telephone.

>>63771712
Guru Lahima was an airbender though and Kya said that there were so many she can't remember them all.

So far there's Guru Pathik, Lahima, and the guy Tenzin was talking about who fasted for 97 days.

Since when could spirit bending give people bending? And if Zaheer had airbending at one point we probably would've known by now.. He didn't say he got his airbending back, he said he got it from Harmonic Convergence.

Aang was able to use it to give Korra her bending back. Thing is we don't know if it can give a non-bender (like Asami for example) bending.

To be fair, they're nets and they're tiny. Aang's lucky he didn't wind up rotting like a papaya.

>>63771545
>>63771822

It's because they're brothers. If you've ever had to put up with family drama, even a grandpa/ma can act like a big baby when dealing with their family members.

If Bumi was just another random air guy like the rest of the new recruits, they'd have interacted differently.

>>63771838
See, I could understand if Aang thought because he grew up with airbenders that but Tenzin has two siblings and a parent who don't live as Air Nomads and he was a politician in Republic City. You would think he would have enough experience with different people to see that not everyone sees the good in the Air Nomad lifestyle.

Hell, he's ex-girlfriend and Korra(initially at least) are good examples of that. After that how can he be surprised when other people aren't as excited about it as he is?

>>63771853
Even if he wasn't the best councilmen the fact that his decisions affected other people should've had forced him to try and think about things from a different perspective.

Then could Korra could just find them and re-add them back to the avatar state.

She couldn't even mediate the conflict that was happening right in front of her. Also, did that line bother anyone else? It was just so...obvious. I get that its a kids show but does it have to
be spelled out that clearly?

>I got a bit of that too. I think Bryke and co. just have a hard time into adult personal drama/characters, honestly

>If Bumi was just another random air guy like the rest of the new recruits, they'd have interacted differently.

But like I said beofre, the Lin/Suyin conflict was handled much better and neither looked like manchildren. Lin came off as too bitter and I think Suyin is a haughty slef centered diva but I could see people they're age acting like. I have a harder time imagining adults acting like Tenzin and Bumi, especially given the former is a monk and a person of influence in his city and the latter was an Admiral.

>If there were only 5, Kya probably still wouldn't have given enough of a fuck to remember them all.

That's true but clearly there is more than one. Plus Lahima lived 4000 years ago so the gurus have likely bee around for a long time. I think they're not unlike the avatar in that they're particularly rare individuals but across 4000 years there's got to be a few dozen of them at least.

>>63772511
I distinctly remember the scene being about how Korra had a power and strength all her own that had nothing to do with her being the Avatar.

Raava and Wan joined in the heat of battle, Raava and Korra joined after the big fight and it was essentially the same thing, just with the latter they were more poetic about it.

It's been awhile since I saw those eps but I'm pretty sure Tenzin explains what the purpose of the tree is.

How/why Korra manifests her spiritual energy as a giant blue version of herself, I have no idea, but it's pretty in-character for Korra.
>>
>>63772671
They're at least there for each other. Remember when Desna got injured towards the end of Book 2 and Eska was right there by his side?

I think one of the main problems I have with Bolin Mako is that we were told Mako was protective of Bolin but never really saw it. However, I did like that he tried to push Bolin towards Opal. Regardless of how that relationship turns out it was a bro move to tell him to try and settle down with a nice girl.

>>63773030
I seriously doubt it. If any of the airbenders is going to turn its going to be that little shit Kai. Opal is too pure. Opal will likely become more assertive but I doubt she'll turn, she doesn't really have any reason to at this point and we've seen that she doesn't like conflict. Kai has been shown to be more violent and we know he's easily tempted by material gain.

>>63773108
If Bolin doesn't screw this up and actually ends up with a qt Airfu it'll almost be worth it to sit through the relationshit.

>>63773110
>Bolin wasn't even interested in starting anything or even aware until Mako told him.
Exactly, Mako showed that he wants his brother to actually have a stable relationship with someone who isn't crazy or shallow.

>Mako is a catalyst for romance shit.
True

>Also despite being so protective of Bolin, Mako brushes off Eska's treatment of Bolin.
See that's what I was talking about. We're told he's protective of Bolin but we rarely, if ever, saw it. Wasn't he more upset when Korra went missing than when Bolin went missing in S2? Serious question here, its been a while.

Either way he basically told Bolin to fuck off in S2 and he did a terrible job of protecting him in S1. Maybe know since he lost both Asami and Korra he'll actually give a shit about his own brother.
>>
>>63771753
are they in the right order?
>>
>>63773480

The first three rows are, including Aang.
>>
>>63773574
yeah but then the 4th row has 2 airbenders with only 2 people between them
>>
>>63773434
Mako flipped his shit like a light switch and immediately dropped everyone and everything else in his life (including his karmic past lives) once he heard that Korra went missing.

He took Bolin's disappearance in Book 1 like it was Sunday in the park and Bolin's relationshit in Book 2 with similar stride.

Mako, Bolin, and Asami are just there because Aang had a group of people close to his age around him.
>>

That's how I remembered it. Fuck S1 Mako.

True. I know the relationshit has been more miss than hit so far but I'm cautiously optimistic that Opal injects new life into team Avatar.
>>
>>63773756
Mako is a pretty shitty brother come to think of it
>>
>>63773953
At this point the best way to redeem Mako is to make him a better older brother to Bolin.
>>
>>63774051
Nah it's not too far off from how my siblings would have acted if I had gotten in similar situations.
>>
>>63773864
In Mako's defense the situations were pretty different.
Bollin's kidnapping wasn't even assumed a kidnapping until it became obvious. Whereas Korra was in the middle of this huge thing.
The first is "my fuck up brother is gone for the night after saying he's off to run some dumb scheme. He's probably in no real danger just being stupid somewhere" whereas the second is "VIP (who I also want to fuck) goes missing after antagonizing brutally effective enemy with an MO for kidnapping people they don't like".
Not that Mako isn't a bad brother for not being more attentive or worried but one situation had much more obvious stakes.

Honestly, Opal's giving me huge suffering flags.
