It's Korra in isolation, though. We don't know how she'll look compared to everyone else. Plus, without colour and shading, it's not fair to really judge.
>>1925419
>more realistic tyzula.
Wouldn't that involve Azula having a psychotic breakdown and Ty Lee going into the Avatarverse's equivalent of the witness protection program?
>>1925504
>We don't know how she'll look compared to everyone else.
That doesn't matter. Compared to her own self in the cartoon, she looks too young. It's either the way her eyes drawn, her eyebrows or her hair. Probably a mixture of all three coupled with exaggerated emotions.
>colour and shading
Again, doesn't really matter. What makes her look younger are her expressions. They remind me of Saturday morning cartoons, the kind that opt for a more... well, "cartoonish" style of drawing instead of a more realistic one.
It's probably just me, but I'd rather them try to follow the style of the cartoon. Maybe it's because I'm more used to it.
>>1925539
>What makes her look younger are her expressions
And the fact that she's for once really happe and in luuuuuuuurve
>>1925504
They're going to really have to turn it up then because that Avatar State doesn't exude anything to me compared to the show one.
Korra's hips are not as prominent and her chest is somehow flatter. The art makes her look much younger too in terms of her face.
>>1925575
She was really happy towards the beginning once she got the hang of intro to airbending, still could have the opportunity to commune with her past lives eventually, hadn't met Amon, and got to play punch punch kick elemental dodgeball. It's just plain cartoony though considering Brittney Williams work it is to be expected and probably preferred by Mike as though children are actually going to read comics.
>>1925600
>She was really happy
Don't fool yourself. She never was.
>>1925539
I totally agree. Legend of Korra had an adult feel to it by the end of the series, and this feels like it's nearly going back to Aang's age. I hope it'll stick to its' mature atmosphere instead of going for cheap childish laughs and jokes....

>>1925539
>Compared to her own self in the cartoon, she looks too young. It's either the way her eyes drawn, her eyebrows or her hair. Probably a mixture of all three coupled with exaggerated emotions.
If anything, it's reminiscent of the exaggerated facial expressions we often saw during Book One. I didn't like them there. But I'm actually more than willing to forgive them in a comic, because exaggeration of expressions and body language is crucial to communicating emotions and tone that could be conveyed by voice acting and animation in our fake chinese cartoon.
>colour and shading
>Again, doesn't really matter.
It does. The expression is the promary factor, but lighting can be used to emphasise a thoughtful (i.e. mature) expression, or to add a sense of gravitas. If done well, you barely notice it. If done poorly, it can really throw the viewer off (see Book One again, where the staging of much of the love triangle was set up incongruously to its actual importance or audience investment).
>It's probably just me, but I'd rather them try to follow the style of the cartoon.
It isn't just you. But unless they got Bryan or one of the key animators from Studio Mir over to do it, we were always going to have to accept a new style.
>>1925617
>Don't fool yourself. She never was.
Sis, please.
>>1925628
>It does.
Not in this case. Here, the style seems out of place because of the way she's drawn. I can't really explain it, it just *feels* off, mainly because of those eyes and eyebrows. Even with a masterfully done shading it's going to lean more on the cartoonish side. While at the same time, un-shaded (this isn't even a word, is it) screencaps from the cartoon still keep that... well, I wouldn't quite say "mature", but certainly older and calmer look.
I'm not trying to argue that it's not possible to make a character drawn in that kind of style look thoughtful or mature for a moment with a skilful use of coloring and shading, because you're right, it is very much possible. I'm saying that this particular character, Korra, doesn't look herself when drawn in that style. And it really ticks me off. I know that in the end I will have to either accept it or skip the comics entirely, but, hey, at least I can whine for a while.
>>1925620
>Legend of Korra had an adult feel to it by the end of the series, and this feels like it's nearly going back to Aang's age. I hope it'll stick to its' mature atmosphere instead of going for cheap childish laughs and jokes....
I don't want to risk skirting the "mature cartoon for mature people such as myself line", but it's certainly true that some of the more child-friendly "humour" felt horribly out of place and forced in LoK. There's nothing wrong with physical comedy. Think of Korra airbending Mako, or Toph surprising Korra when the latter was trying to catch her off guard. They have a set-up and some value.
But then we get Meelo, who is sometimes amusing as the "little dictator", but cringe-inducing the rest of the time. He farted. That's the joke. Get it?
>>1925641
>I'm saying that this particular character, Korra, doesn't look herself when drawn in that style.
That's a fair complaint. But these are just previews she likely hashed out just for the NYCC Darkhorse panel. I doubt that they're what convinced Mike and Bryan she was right for the job.

Well, Satan, I think Korra would be better served looking closer to her version of Wonder Woman, perhaps crossed with Lois Lane. Her Poison Ivy already looks like Asami.

I was never a true regular. I used to check in on 4chan every once in a while (admittedly mostly in /u/, but I visited /co/ and a couple others sometimes). It's just after Korrasamiheld handsI couldn't contain my glee, and found myself parked on LoK/u/ because not only were there glorious Korrasami pics, there was genuine, good series discussion, with the added bonus of all /u/s neechans enjoying the delicious taste of Makorrafag tears.
Now I've pretty much given up on other boards, and remain exclusively on /u/ AtLA /Lok threads.
>>1925678
I was never a regular visitor to /u/ myself. Was immediately exposed to Korrasami when they won bowl and that became the tipping point for me to actually get into LoK.
Suffice to say, a few posters in the LoK/u/ generals were very much excited to see what I had to say as a virgin LoK viewer.I hadn't felt so apart of a niche 4chan community since drawfagging in /tg/.

Yup, sounds about right, built my new computer then and immediately set out to get into LoK. I was marathoning entire books because I couldn't get enough of it and was having immense amounts of fun. I was enjoying every single aspect about LoK up until Kai. I also fell in line with most of Lok/u/'s opinions about the series on my own accord as well except the rampant hatred for Mako.I pretty much forgot about platonic galpal hand-holding when I saw the interaction between Mako and Lin.

Anyways LoK really is one of those weird rare cartoon for mature people though. Not a lot of cartoons show characters that aren't just evil for evils sake and have actual real world ideologies like zaheer, Kuvira, and kind of amon.

Nah he's just a generic revolutionary. It just happens that the ruling class in the atla world are benders.
Benders are like the samurai of japan or the aristocracy of france.
>>1925631
Up until then. That was the entire point of the discussion.
>>1925844
>Benders are like the samurai of japan or the aristocracy of france.
Except a lot of them have shit jobs and l i t t l e m o n e y.
>>1925848
Samurai then. They couldn't into money anyway. At least when it came to numer crunching. That's why merchants were tolerated.
>>1925848
Same with both those groups near the time of the revolution. The big difference was they had special rights and power over other citizens by birth.
Some samurai at the start of the meiji era had basically nothing and lived off their stippens. Most were not particularly rich anymore. All still had the right to chop down any random peasant they wanted though.
In france before the revolution some of the bourgeois was starting to amass more wealth than the petty aristocracy who still had special rights above them.
The issue is an inherent power gained through birth that gives you special abilities and rights over other people regardless of your actual standing in society.
>>1925853
This isn't legal power though. This is just a talent that others don't possess. Amon is basically Harrison Bergeron played straight. Only an SJW could like what he was peddling.
>The issue is an inherent power gained through birth that gives you special abilities and rights over other people regardless of your actual standing in society.
Chop the fingers off all piano playing privileged shitlords imo
>>1925855
Yeah but the difference is he has the power to remove the the special ability from those people without really harming them in any other way. Apparently we're supposed to believe it's psychologically crippling to be a normal peasant but I don't buy it.
The show clearly tries to make him out to be just a revolutionary and not some kind of weird SJW. He doesn't want to make every equal in everything after all. He just wants to remove one specific inequality that has created a special kind of class system in that world.
>>1925859
>Apparently we're supposed to believe it's psychologically crippling to be a normal peasant but I don't buy it.
It'd be like losing a limb. Of course it's psychologically harming. Like breaking a dancer's legs. "Oh but you can still walk and run, why are you whining?"
>The show clearly tries to make him out to be just a revolutionary and not some kind of weird SJW. He doesn't want to make every equal in everything after all. He just wants to remove one specific inequality that has created a special kind of class system in that world.
It's not actually a class system before he comes along though. All the legal differences were in reaction to him using benders as a scapegoat to raise mobs.
>>1925855
>This isn't legal power though.
Definitely not, but the city also didn't really seem to manage a lot either, since there were still a bunch of bender triads shaking down non-benders and the police couldn't do much because at the end of the day they need enough evidence to hold on court. Same deal with real criminal organizations. So in a way Benders DID have power over the non-benders.

>And what ammo would you use?
Even in real life people use steel jacketed ammo for armor. Even plastic. There's other soft metals you could use too if lead doesn't exist for some weird reason.
>>1925880
>Why?
Because I'm pretty sure it would be non-bendable too, just like Platinum.
>>1925883
>Because I'm pretty sure it would be non-bendable too, just like Platinum.
Platinum isn't unbendable because it's dense. This is never said in the show.
>>1925844
>Nah he's just a generic revolutionary. It just happens that the ruling class in the atla world are benders.
Generic revolutionary in the sense that he was a Marxist gone mad, which is how many people feel about SJWs.
>>1925855
This is why I think people were silly to think that Bryke would portray Amon as in the right. It would be akin to Bryan saying, "yeah, it's unfair that I make a living from my artistic skills; lets sever my tendons."
>>1925859
>but the difference is he has the power to remove the the special ability from those people without really harming them in any other way.
It completely broke most of them. I doubt Korra was the only victim feeling suicidal.
>He doesn't want to make every equal in everything after all. He just wants to remove one specific inequality that has created a special kind of class system in that world.
How would Amon have reacted to his post-bending utopia where non-benders like Varrick and the Earth Queen still take advantage of and exploit normal people? I can't help but think the next step would have been redistribution of wealth (but of course, not for high-ranking people within the Equalists like Hiroshi).
>>1925877
You wouldn't download a satomobile.
>>1925884
Fine not because it's dense. The dense part was mostly because it's pretty good against radioactivity but that's obviously not a thing in Avatar anway.
But I'm pretty sure that lead is kinda lacking what makes metal bendable in the first place.
>>1925887
>It completely broke most of them. I doubt Korra was the only victim feeling suicidal.
Makes you wonder how many went through with it though.
>>1925888
>But I'm pretty sure that lead is kinda lacking what makes metal bendable in the first place.
With the explanation they gave (which was kind of a retcon) any sufficiently refined metal would lack that. As it is, we can only assume it's a property unique to platinum because pure mercury was still perfectly bendable.
>>1925887
>How would Amon have reacted to his post-bending utopia where non-benders like Varrick and the Earth Queen still take advantage of and exploit normal people?
Amon was really unclear about his post revolution nonbender utopia idea. I figure he would just enjoy being in power since his anti-bender stuff came from daddy issues.
>>1925887
>I can't help but think the next step would have been redistribution of wealth (but of course, not for high-ranking people within the Equalists like Hiroshi).

When describing AtLA and LoK villains, it's far more succinct just to assume the villain is driven by family issues, and mention it when we see the rare ones that aren't.
Zhao, Long Feng and Zaheer, in case you were wondering.
>>1925895
I rest my case.
Just because he wants some form of equality doesn't make him an SJW. SJW isn't just a buzzword to throw around. They have a defined albeit loose set of goals and beliefs. There's no reason to believe Amon believes in any form of social justice just because he wants to remove bending.
>>1925890
>With the explanation they gave (which was kind of a retcon) any sufficiently refined metal would lack that
Can we be sure they actually use refined metal? Might sound a bit weird but since metal benders are a thing maybe most metal isn't completely refined to make it convienient to bend if there's a need for it. Which is pretty much only in two places the case anyway: Zaofu a metal bender city, and Republic City which has a Metal bender police force.
Also did they ever bend Satomobiles?
>pure mercury was still perfectly bendable
Working on the assumption that shit was mercury and not some mumbo-jumbo they made up because Korra clearly hasn't gone full Caligula or Sun Quan.
>>1925897
I thought long-feng was driven by his peasant past. That kinda counts as family issues right? Since his family were living shit lives in the shit ring?

Actually his goals are very much SJW goals using SJWesque terms (though appropriate to his setting). He's an SJW revolutionary, and the sympathies seen on left leaning parts of the internet for his character makes that clear.

>Makes you wonder how many went through with it though.
We had a discussion about that half a year ago. I remember wondering how many people may have even left Republic City after they were debended, perhaps returning to their ancestral homes and not knowing that the Avatar had the power to fix it.
Then I decided to be cruel and conceive some Fire Nation citizen having returned to the far west of the FN, who borrows the money to return to RC and passes within a mile of Korra on her way to the FN, stays in RC for weeks, and keeps just missing her and is unable to get an appointment because Raikoand Asamiare eating up all her time. He finally tracks her down only to be not allowed to cross the police line. He waits patiently for the mob to disperse, only to learn the Avatar has been banished. Cue a mad chase across the EK where he tries to keep up with Asami's airship. He finally, finally tracks her down at the Northern Air Temple, just a day behind.
I don't think this hypothetical guy would have survived the three year wait.

>Besides that the script implies it, yes, their level of technology kind of demands very pure refined metal.
And yet there are no guns. This shit is bonkers.
Should stayed consistent with ther fluff, because if they can bend refined metal AND fucking mercury, then they can bend platinum too. There's nothing special about it that differentiates it from any of the others. Especially with fucking space rocks being bendable for metal benders.

Bryan seemed to imply that the falling for two girls at once thing that Mako went through was based on his college days.
Though I doubt he meant to imply that he was using one when she was convenient and dumped her (by making her do the work) for the other when she was no longer beneficial to him.
>>1925927
Bryan seems like kind of a douche so he might have done that without realizing it like Mako did.
>>1925924
Yes, I think this is a stretch too far.
But I'm oddly in favour of anything that will increase Zhao's specialness.

I thought of that when I was posting, but his sharp rejection of Mako and glee at humiliating him in book three make me think that even if that's the case, he eventually understood just how fucking horribly they'd written him.

>But I'm oddly in favour of anything that will increase Zhao's specialness.
That's pretty much impossible. Dude's the first bad guy airbender, managed to learn a technique that no one could in thousand of years and can enter the spirit world no problem and better than a damn master airbender. If that's not the specialest of snowflakes I don't know what is.

wasn't the concept of metal bending that the "impurities" inside could be bent? I only watched LoK once so i could be wrong, but platium was supposedly so "pure" that they couldn't bend it.
ignoring the inconsistent rules of metalbending, why not just make hollow point bullets out of platinum seeing as it's common enough to build a giant fucking pacific rim robot out of. i think the bigger question is would a platinum gun withstand the pressure of the bullet being fired.
amon x firearms is the otp that never had a chance to fly.
>>1926042
Platinum is only a bit more pure than Gold, Silver and Copper. And a little fun fact: pure metals are not exactly practical since they are too soft, brittle and react chemically. You don't need some special cutter to cut platinum and those dropped buildings should've already put a serious dent into the hull too.
>>1926053
Basically, they just wanted a magic metal for the Colossus that could resist bending but was also incredibly, ridiculously tough. But they'd already used platinum earlier in the series, so they were stuck with it.
So we have a situation where a speeding car can total mech made of platinum in Book One, but Korra throwing building sized rocks in Book Four doesn't even scrath the Colossus' exterior.
I guess Bataar really is a bigger genius than we all thought.
>>1926042
>wasn't the concept of metal bending that the "impurities" inside could be bent? I only watched LoK once so i could be wrong, but platium was supposedly so "pure" that they couldn't bend it.
That's how it was established in ATLA as well.
>>1925831
Not oldfag to that extent, but I never even watched a single episode of Avatar until Korra's predebut hype basically took over /ko/ in 2010.
Before it was cool to shit on yuri and lesbians in /a/ and /co/ as it was last year, /ko/ at the time naturally came to the nonconformist consensus that Korra was hard gay and alpha as fuck, but in a good way unrelated to SJWs, as they weren't a big deal then.
X-Arielle's and another artist's renditions had Korra paired with The Moon/Princess Yue early on, and everyone was completely apathetic to any of the three introduced male characters, setting the tone for equally complete and utter disappointment by the end of S1.
I had a drawfag make this in the hectic threads, noticing the bangs similarity with Korra and ZSSamus. I asked the drawfag to give her the Space Sword, but the initial draft had too small asses, had the gun way too close to the other's head, but did fulfill my request for outstanding trigger discipline.

Actually, I kinda feel like Amon is like a human character from the X-Men transplanted into a world where Mutants are the ones with political power rather than the arbitrarily hated minority in a world full of superheroes people DON'T build giant killbots for.
The equalists had a nice one-two punch in that there is the classist argument that benders have all the physical AND political power in most places through accident of birth paired with team normal people's usual problem with superpowers, the whole "your next door neighbor might snap one day and barbecue you, what are you going to do about it? Beat the guy who can shoot lightning from his hands with your fucking kitchen knife?"
I'm not saying Amon's actions were justified, I'm saying it would be very very easy for him to play on an animosity that would exist in any society that in any way resembled our own plus genetically selective magic.
>>1925891
I don't think Amon had an endgame. Taking RC was doable but it is basically impossible for him to have taken on the unified forces that would descend on him like the wrath of god afterwards. He might be ridiculously overpowered, but he can't be everywhere. The Equalists would have been slaughtered eventually, although they'd have been a bitch to take down.
Which is part of the reason I feel like it would've made some sense if Amon had been revealed to be Red Lotus, starting his doomed revolution in Republic City to take it and as much of the United Forces down with his followers as possible, weakening the world's defense force right as he is mistaken for a martyr by disgruntled normal people and kicks off a dozen smaller revolutions in unhappy areas like the Earth Kingdom.
It honestly would've felt a little more in keeping with Amon's actions than Unalaq being Red Lotus, but Unalaq was sort of a perfect storm of terrible writing.

The premiere was fucking awesome, and it still holds up as by far and away the best ep of Book One. I don't know what's not to like about unless you either took an immediate dislike to Korra herself or were just whining because it was different from Avatar.
It's a bitter rewatch because of the wasted potential of the first season. All of that time, money, effort, talent - all pissed away on Mako.
>>1926173
>absolutely unauthorized
Adam pls.
Korra and Samus actually went in different directions for me. I loved Samus from Super and Prime; wished she'd get more exposure and attention. Then Nintendo put ZSS in Brawl, which made millions of people realise that Metroid was a girl. The porn increased a hundredfold. That was fine, Even if she looked like a cartoony supermodel now, she was still a badass. Then "you know what" was released. Since then, Samus has regressed into merely, as you say, fap/schlick fuel.
Korra otoh was someone I knew from fanart long before I watched the show, and thought her design was hot as hell. Eminently schlickable/fappable. Then I watched the show, and regretted my words and deeds.

The one season where they had a budget to do something and they used it on probending, love triangles, lumbering technology and not-Ty Lees who would only have a few months training defeating seasoned veterans, and moonless psychic bloodbending of which the bloodbending part just seemed to me to clash with the bloodbending episode from AtLA, it all hurts.
>>1926212
The animation in book 1 is universally gorgeous and the Equalist fights were all really fun to watch.
>and not-Ty Lees who would only have a few months training defeating seasoned veterans
This is a dumb criticism when the name you're dropping involves a fourteen year old girl with not much more training doing the same thing. At least the Equalists are adults.
>>1926209
>I imagine he was hoping for Equalist revolutions to begin outside the URN once he started one.
Maybe in the EK. In the Water Tribes or the Fire Nation, such an uprising would have been dealt with swiftly and harshly.
Plus, they can smuggle all the weapons they want, but without the element of surprise Hiroshi's tech brought, backed by a trained small army and a near godlike being, the Equalists were never going to be as successful outside the URN. Did they even establish control of anywhere in the URN besides RC?
>>1926216
Again, this is why I feel Amon's plan makes WAY more sense if he was Red Lotus and was setting up events that would allow his brothers and sisters across the world to make their move in the wake of the chaos he unleashed, but it seems like he was just an entirely unrelated revolutionary working to bring down the established order.
>>1926216
>Maybe in the EK. In the Water Tribes or the Fire Nation, such an uprising would have been dealt with swiftly and harshly.
That's a huge part of the world under Equalist control.
>but without the element of surprise Hiroshi's tech brought, backed by a trained small army and a near godlike being, the Equalists were never going to be as successful outside the URN.
If things went to plan they'd have destroyed almost the entire United Forces Fleet. Power projection for much of the world's other powers would be shot. It's not unlikely that there was an Equalist presence in the militaries of various places too.
>Did they even establish control of anywhere in the URN besides RC?
No. Remember, the last few episodes all take place over a few days.
I mean, the USSR is a thing that happened.
>>1926214
>This is a dumb criticism when the name you're dropping involves a fourteen year old girl with not much more training doing the same thing
And a thirteen year old bender with little experience had her number. Katara learned pretty quickly just to use her bending to keep Ty Lee from closing in.

>That's a huge part of the world under Equalist control.
I said "IN" the EK, not the entire EK. The Dai Li still control Ba Sing Se at that point, and Su has her own grip on Zaofu. Across the rest of the EK, we saw just how defenceless entire cities were against small group of roving benders, who were only too eager to become outlaws. If those people felt they were the target of Equalist attacks, I don't think they'd have restricted themselves to reacting lawfully. They're only a danger to benders when they have the element of surprise.
>>1926220
>If things went to plan they'd have destroyed almost the entire United Forces Fleet.
Which just seems to be the URN's Navy. Unalaq and Izumi's fleets would be untouched. The latter would even have a personal reason to actually get involved.
>>1926231
>What is ingenuity?
Something you can slap on to any implausible piece of writing as a bandaid.
She does nothing no other bender shouldn't have been able to do, save be the protagonist. If this kind of thing bothered you, it should have bothered you through the entire franchise.
>>1926232

We saw it was ripe for a revolution. If Amon claimed to know how to make their situation better, he'd probably persuade a lot of these civilians and people forced to turn to banditry, not to mention provincial governors, EK soldiers, etc.
>Which just seems to be the URN's Navy.
It has Fire Nation nationals serving in it.
Unalaq might get involved, or might not. he's got other plans. His ships are as defenseless against air power as everyone else's, though.

Nah Izumi would issue a public address apologizing for her privilege and outlaw bending immediately.

But some of us are literally talking about and agreeing with each other that things are flawed.

Only Firebending: the PRIVILEGED bending.
URN was built on the backs of Earthbenders, don'tcha know? She also banned dressing like an Air Acolyte for Firewe'en, even if you are an actual Air Acolyte. Finally, it's a spirit-aggression to ask a dark skinned person which Water Tribe they're from. Just know that it's okay to be biased and bigoted to the privileged Northerners, but not to the oppressed Southerners.

Funnily enough a Bender did exactly that. Building a giant killbot.
>>1926507
Amon really feels like he should have been the final antagonist if they had 4 seasons to work with in the first place.
Unalaq (waterbender) and his herp derp plan, Zaheer and his new bending powers coupled with team and his "if we kill everyone things will be restored" plan, and Metal Hitler starring Kuvira with Bataar Jr. who is forgiven would pave the way for Amon's propaganda of benders being the scum of the earth. Especially if Korra goes on her vacation while the city is in an economic collapse and the Earth Kingdom is back in turmoil.
>>1926494
I remember that cap yeah. Jinora cures all illness, rehabs all the wrongdoers, and takes in the Avatar spirit while Korra becomes Asami's broken pet.
There's some fanfics out there with something similar. But I don't think those people mean for it to come off like that. Not exactly the greentext that you find here.
>>1926520
>Amon really feels like he should have been the final antagonist if they had 4 seasons to work with in the first place.
Ideally, it would actually have been Vaatu and a differently written Unalaq. Amon comes across as really kind of wishy-washy and pathetic in the end (he gives up on his life's ambition after his first setback). Unalaq (and Zaheer) at least stuck by their convictions.
Plus there's the issue with making Amon's bloodbending work against a realised Avatar Korra. If they decide that that Raava can't just tank bloodbending, they would have a pretty hard time explaining how Aang ever overcame Yakone.
And that's not even considering that at this point the past lives are gone.

Adam's dead and his brain copy her ship AI. Didn't you play Fusion?

>>1926562
Fusion is no longer canon.
>>1926567
Wait, I thought they only retconned Prime series.
>>1926567
How is that not canon?
It wasn't part of the Prime series and explicitely points at things happening in Other M (well before Other M came out in fact) and already gave us the characterization for complete with monologues and shit.
Fusion is basically the last game in the canon-timeline.
>>1926566
Gotta keep it as a BAD example though. Controlling the ship would be rad as fuck.
>>1926562
>Princess Samus: Adam...I want you inside me while I'm inside you
>>1926570
Officially yes but Fusion doesn't make sense if Other M preceeds it.
>>1926578
Samus being surprised at anything in Fusion after Other M is retarded since Other M is basically just a shittier version of Fusion's plot. But then, if she's literally suppose to be a bimbo then I guess it all makes sense.
>>1926582
>Samus being surprised at anything in Fusion after Other M is retarded since Other M is basically just a shittier version of Fusion's plot.
The X shit was rather new. But I can tell this is not getting anyway since you're feeling a bit too strongly about it. So how about we just let this go, and you go play the Prime games so you can be happy with Metroid again. Live and let live and all.
>>1926606
I was referring more to the "The Federation is experimenting with Metroids!" revelation in Fusion not being much of a revelation to her after Other M.

Huh. You know I think it'd be pretty equal. Though if I have to choose it'd be Asami, merely because muh headcanon says Korra loves making Asami laugh so she's more likely to pull cute little stunts instead.

I know a lot of us are pessimistic about the comic, but if it only succeeds in giving us a few canonical moments like this, I'd be happy.
>>1927357
I have zero expectations of the plot - in fact I expect a bit of a hot mess. But I do have confidence that we'll at least get some great Korrasami moments. Bryke may be unbelievably stupid sometimes, but even they wouldn't be so boneheaded as to ignore/break up Korrasami.
>>1927415
The comics will probably be be under the same rules as the AtlA ones. Every relationship is fair game except the one involving the main character.
It's foolish to assume we're not gonna get a Korrasami fight though.
>>1927415
>even they wouldn't be so boneheaded as to ignore/break up Korrasami.
>>1927439
>It's foolish to assume we're not gonna get a Korrasami fight though.
It's Bryke, so we definitely will. In the show proper, the only argument they ever have (post Mako) was right as the ship started becoming a genuine contender in Reunion. They really seem to enjoy the drama of couples or potential couples clashing.
>>1925539
>>1925628
>>1925641
>pics
Korra's a really expressive character.
>>1927470
Everyone fights eventually.
>>1927475
This. Everyone who thinks couples don't fight clearly hasn't been in a long-term relationship.
>>1927488
I mean, fighting constantly like Mako and Korra is bad and abnormal, but even really good couples will fight from time to time. They tend to be shorter, and rarer, but it still happens.
>>1927475
>>1927488
I wasn't saying otherwise. But with a very limited number of pages and panels, deciding to depict the pair having a true argument (not just some verbal back and forths) is a significant decision.
Bryke tend to spend a long time on things like that (Book 2 Makorra is 80% fighting, and Opal spends most of Book 4 mad at Bolin).
>>1927492
They're bound to fight once they start living with each other. That's when people grate on each other's nerves the most so to speak.
>>1927498
Drama is conflict.
>>1927498
Well a major fight usually serves a purpose in so far that it either shows that the relationship doesn't work (like Makorra) or that the couple manages to moves past it and their relationship comes out stronger (Bopal). So it's hardly without it's merit.
>>1927499
>They're bound to fight once they start living with each other

Will this happen in the comics: Yea or Nay?
>>1927505
They'll travel all the time so it will be ambiguous.
>>1927509
So you mean Korra will continue to abandon her duty as the Avatar by not staying in Republic City and overseeing the various urban expansion projects?
>>1927512
I mean other more important problems will crop up actually suited to her skillset. Korra is not a city planner.
>>1927470
I didn't say they would be hunky dory 24/7, just that there's no way they're not endgame. And even if the relationship DORAMA gets ridiculous, I sincerely doubt they'd even break up temporarily. And who knows, they've learned quite a few lessons on crafting romantic relationships over the past few years, they might just leave them alone.
>>1927505
The comics are supposed to pick up directly after their return from the spirit world right? It's a bit early for that. But if the comics cover a year or so it might happen.
>>1927514
>I mean other more important problems will crop up actually suited to her skillset. Korra is not a city planner.
Yeah, I was being sarcastic. Just mocking one of the main complaints by Makorrafags that they cooked up during the months after the finale.
>>1927521
>The comics are supposed to pick up directly after their return from the spirit world right?
That's what most of us assumed. Mike said there's going to be no big timeskip. But the reason most fans assumed it continued from them returning the spirit world was because of Bryan's announcement art. It hasn't actually been confirmed.
>>1927512
Of course. As The Worst Avatar Ever, she will instead waste her time doing things like facilitating relations between the new EK and the other nations. You know, shit that the Avatar has no business meddling in.
>>1927527

I'm hardly triggered. It annoys me, but I didn't think I came off that strongly? I think I'd be triggered if Bryke actually called Asami an heiress though.
>>1927534
>That small shit like that even triggers you baffles my mind.
As >>1927535 says, Korra and Asami halting their first romantic holiday together to go visit a dead guy and his retarded spirit buddies (that they could visit any time) was obnoxiously ubiquitous in fanart and fanfic right after the finale.
>>1927543
>It's an convinient plot device, nothing more.

It was bad in the show and it's bad in fanfic.

>It's an convinient plot device, nothing more.
In the show, it was bad. In post-finale fanfics and art, it's just blatant fanservice.

All true, but he took that shit really seriously. I remember (before Disney retconned it out of existence) he was so into the Expanded Universe that he was absolutely certain that the next Star Wars would have to be based on it. He would not accept my assertion that likely less than 1% of Star Wars fans even knew that the EU existed, and significantly less than that had ever read any of them.
>>1927597
Even after Lucas himself ignored a bunch of established EU crap in the prequels?
>>1927537
>I think I'd be triggered if Bryke actually called Asami an heiress though.
Even though it's a stupid mistake to make, I can understand why some tumblrinas continued to call Asami "heiress" after she had already inherited. Hiroshi was still alive, plus there's that herd mentality and all that.
But with Hiroshi dead, there is no excuse.
>>1927576
Revan doesn't quote the Sith Code though. That's more Marr's thing.
>>1927598
Mind you most of the EU stuff people are angry about being retconned is the shit that takes after the original movie series. Mara Jade and Kyle Katar were kinda popular.

I liked Mara well enough, especially as Luke's love interest. If anyone deserved to get a redhead it was him.
And Thrawn was never as powerful as other Authors made him out to be and even Zahn himself ripped into those guys with having characters say more than once that he "wasn't THAT good" in Specter of the Past and Vision of the Future.

>>1928261
>I think it would have ruined that scene.
Might have. But I wonder how the first books might have changed if they knew from the beginning that they were getting four seasons.
My nightmare scenario is that they decide to drag out the Makorra romance and break-up across the entire series.
My happy scenario is that they could have laid the groundwork for Korrasami much earlier, and also kept a tighter grip on Bolin's personality. I'd really like to have seen how they'd have tried to be subtle with Korrasami across the entire show, rather than just the second half.
On the second point, if the more relatable, less retarded Bolin from early Book 1 had been the one agonising over not being able to metalbend, and then saved the day with lavabending, it would have been a lot more impactful than the guy that ruined two of the most tense scenes in the Book 3 finale.
>>1928276
They knew they were getting at least three while Book 2 was being written.
http://bryankonietzko.tumblr.com/post/27078349740/im-sure-this-meme-is-dead-by-now-but-it-still
Written, not animated. And they still weakly linked 3 and 4 rather than what they could have done especially if Bryan was shipping Korra and Asami since Book 1.
>>1928239
They took her boobs. Do you think they'll take her hips too?
>>1927439
>>1927470
>>1927500
>>1927501
I just hope that if there is a Korrasami conflict (like has been said; it's the soul of drama), that it's not contrived and feels natural.
If nothing else can said to praise it, the arguments within Makorra felt justified considering where they were at the time and their personalities.
But Asami is the empathetic, non-confrontational sort when it comes to people's feelings, and Korra is just coming off an arc where she matured significantly.
Basically, I just hope we don't get a contrived reason for a conflict, be it dialling back characterisation, or some cliche nonsense, like one of the pair overhearing part of a conversation and drawing incorrect conclusions from it.

Way back. It was usually in response to Kyhu images or modern AU pics where Korra has that tattoo. But this was before we semi-formally "codified" our triggers.
And it was never as ubiquitous, and thus not as triggering as later pet peeves, like the goddamn Raava marking.

>>1930983
>The only things worth watching were Wan's episodes and Korra breaking up permanently with Mako.
I enjoyed most of it. It's really not that different in quality from the other seasons even if it's worse. If you hated it this much, Book 3 logically should register as a resounding "meh". You've succumbed to the hyperbole that tends to dominate group think in geek franchises.
>That's basically all I can remember clearly from S2 though.
Yeah. Because you've spent far more time posting about how bad it is than actually watching it. Internalized /co/.
Basically I'm saying if you enjoyed Book 3 and Book 4 but hate Books 1 and 2 so much you can't stand to ever rewatch it, then you're only watching to obsess over tiny hints at potential lesbianism and everything else is just ad hoc sophistry, because they're better but not THAT much better.
Of course if you also enjoyed ATLA while hating the first half of Korra you've go a whole other complicated thing going on.
Either way, I think everyone should consider how they'd feel about this franchise if they'd watched it first and THEN gone online to read spergy exhaustive analysis of a kids/teenagers' fake anime.
>>1930976

>they still can't stand to watch anything before Book 3 of a show they allegedly really like
I intermittently enjoyed parts of Book One and Two; mostly the Korra-centric parts that weren't actually just an excuse to focus on Mako. But the second half of the series is where I really fell for the show, and not just its protagonist. There's nothing wrong with acknowledging that there was a significant jump in story quality and a hugely beneficial shift in the writers' priorities.
So, I really enjoy LoK, and have no problem admitting that one half of the show is vastly superior to the other.
>>1931001
>I intermittently enjoyed parts of Book One and Two; mostly the Korra-centric parts that weren't actually just an excuse to focus on Mako
So most of it.
>There's nothing wrong with acknowledging that there was a significant jump in story quality and a hugely beneficial shift in the writers' priorities.
It's a moderate improvement really. It just seems bigger because fanboys have this weird thing where something is either undefendable cancer or the best thing ever. That's what's wrong with it.
>hugely beneficial shift in the writers' priorities
From Mako to Bolin?
>So, I really enjoy LoK, and have no problem admitting that one half of the show is vastly superior to the other.
Have you actually watched anything but books 3 and 4 since it aired? I never actually see this sentiment, at least so dramatic, except for people that watched it air as part of the Avatar online fan community. I mean contrast that to the people that watched the show for the first time while posting in this thread.
>>1931001

I've got pirated versions of Book 1 and Book 3 with commentary but I never could find the other two. I can't stream though.

I used to loved Star Trek: TNG. Adore it even. But even I at my most most zealous would never have pretended the first two seasons weren't unwatchable drivel. Does that mean I only allegedly liked the show?
>>1930982
>anyone who watches a franchise for its name is an autist
Guess that makes hundreds of millions of autists then.
What's so hard to understand about watching through a disappointing story because you're invested enough from earlier instalments to want to know the outcome? And understanding that when there's a spike in quality, that you now are content with rewatching the episodes released during that time, while not being eager to rewatch the subpar episodes that you muddled through the first time around.
Should we put a disclaimer on any post where we identify as a fan of the show that we only enjoy rewatching certain episodes? Will that help not trigger you?
>>1930987
>they're better but not THAT much better.
Well actually...they kinda are. I mean I enjoyed bits of both 1 & 2, but there's no denying that upon rewatch the things that really drag those seasons down are hard to ignore. Meanwhile 3 & 4 are mostly enjoyable, while their missteps not as egregious. Pinning liking 3/4 vs 1/2 on muh Korrasami is terribly simplistic. Granted I'll give you that we tend to polarize our general dislike/like of the first half vs the second half, but it's the internet. On 4chan. Wild exaggeration is kinda par for the course.
Also, while we regularly shit on Books 1/2, I don't actually recall anybody ever saying it was unwatchable. Just...painful.
>>1931009
>Guess that makes hundreds of millions of autists then.
Think I touched a nerve.
You said it, not me. The Star Trek:TNG comparison doesn't help, either.

Nothing if you're a masochist. When I don't like a show I stop watching it.

You're not exaggerating.
>Also, while we regularly shit on Books 1/2, I don't actually recall anybody ever saying it was unwatchable. Just...painful.
Why do you watch something painful? And yeah the anon streaming was forced to skip the first two books due to objections from this thread, so I think it's unwatchable.
I can see this is just shitting up the thread now so I'll shut up. Sorry for disagreeing with the zeitgeist. it had just been bugging me for a long time.
>>1931009
Star Trek, every iteration, is bad almost all the way through. 1 out of 20 episodes is watchable.
>>1931005
>So most of it.
Er. No. The love triangle infests almost all of the first two seasons, with the exception of Korra's family problems with Tonraq and Unalaq i.e. the one Korra dynamic less enjoyable to watch than Makorra.
>>1931005
>It's a moderate improvement really

Because of course, no one in these threads has ever had anything good to say about the first two seasons, or anything negative to say about the latter two? Tip: A strawman works best when you're misrepresenting a party to someone other than that same party.
>Have you actually watched anything but books 3 and 4 since it aired?
I was one of the rewatch Anons. I also streamed Book One for the thread.

I like this new tack of yours. You couldn't get us to share your hatred of Korra, so you're focusing on the timeline of the series' release ti try to somehow shame us (kek) into either "admitting" that we're hyprocrites who only like the second half of the series because of lesbians or that we're no better than your chums back on /co/.
I'll concede it's an improvement from your strategy way back at the beginning of the year. It only works if we concede your premises, though. But good try.

I watch the parts I like, and tend to zone out when the cringe worthy moments come on. Book 1/2 wasn't terrible every second. Hell, Book 1 is worth it to just stare at how damn PRETTY the animation is.
>the anon streaming was forced to skip the first two books due to objections from this thread, so I think it's unwatchable.
...Where you there? That's not how I remember it. We started with Book 3 because it was the best season. That simple. We didn't have any newbies, so there was no reason to start at the beginning. Later there was a Book 1 stream (and even a PVB one). I think there were a few Book 2 episodes streamed as well, but I missed that chunk, so I can't be sure.

This must have been weeks later or something. I stopped watching after the initial stream was done with Book 4 because I don't find Project Voice Bend funny mostly and that's all you guys seemed to want to watch.
The anon that streamed was made to skip the first two seasons except Beginnings by popular demand, but if weeks later you got desperate enough to watch it I missed it.

And there you go, insisting that viewer preference somehow translates to "hates everything else x infinity." And even "desperate enough to watch it" still means we watched it, thus disproving your claim that we all hate the first two books so much it was unwatchable. You know it's okay to admit when you're wrong, anon.

I usually try to hold back until we hit page ten. But this thread has really flown by. We had an anon above worried that the thread would still be up when we hit the finale anniversary.
>>1931041
>thus disproving your claim that we all hate the first two books so much it was unwatchable.
Did anyone even ever say that? I know Makohater said Mako was unwatchable, but even they admit that their hatred is pathological.
The only parts of the franchise I've even seen being referred to as unwatchable here are the village of the weeks eps from AtLA.
>>1931051
>>1931052
>>1931053
>>1931054
>>1931050
I don't remember anyone saying that, really. We complain about it a lot, sure. But we complain about stuff in Books 3/4 too. There's just less to harp on.
>Makohater said Mako was unwatchable, but even they admit that their hatred is pathological.
Is Makohater anon even here still? There was Jinorahater anon too. But yeah, even they didn't say an entire season was rendered unwatchable because of their respective character despite.
>The only parts of the franchise I've even seen being referred to as unwatchable here are the village of the weeks eps from AtLA.
Yeah. Personally I don't think any episodes LoK in their entirety are unwatchable (maybe a couple in Book 2?) but AtLA has so many more useless filler episodes that can really drag the season out on rewatch. As many things I found ridiculous in LoK 1/2, there were usually other parts of the episode that were important/entertaining.
>>1931046
>fatuous
I come to /u/ for the vocab boost.
>>1931062
I can actually see how someone could get that impression to be honest. I mean let's be real, we hate on them a lot. Though less so since Makohater Anon doesn't seem to post anymore. And some of us do have a habit of calling people that disagree with us Concerned.
I don't really want to start another thing though. Just saiyan.
>>1931062
Korra has a really wide face here.
>>1931069
>we hate on them a lot
Yeah, but extrapolating from that, that we deem entire books unwatchable (with the added inference that it's really because they lack Korrasami) is just far-fetched. And if they weren't legitimate gripes, then yeah, I can see where anon's coming from.
>some of us do have a habit of calling people that disagree with us Concerned.
Honestly I think accusing "Concerned" has become less of an actual calling out of a specific, hard working anon and more of a general insult. Kinda like >>1931046
summed up. I mean do the thread regulars really think Concerned's still here? I think he gave up a while ago.
>>1931062
>I don't remember anyone saying that, really. We complain about it a lot, sure.
Yeah, we're gonna get through a lot of topics in an entire year. And hyperbole is the soul of image boards.
>Is Makohater anon even here still? There was Jinorahater anon too
I'm pretty certain both are still around. From what I can tell, Makohater mellowed, while Jinorahater's rage forever bubbles under the surface.
> Personally I don't think any episodes LoK in their entirety are unwatchable (maybe a couple in Book 2?)
Perhaps "The Sting"? It was an awful ep. Barely any Korra. Lin being retarded. Asami being a dumbass and Mako being supercop.
>>1931082
>extrapolating from that, that we deem entire books unwatchable (with the added inference that it's really because they lack Korrasami) is just far-fetched
Obviously, we can't tell through text, but the claim also seemed almost accusatory. Like we'd been caught out in something. Plus, he dismissed the honest answers out of hand.
>Honestly I think accusing "Concerned" has become less of an actual calling out of a specific, hard working anon and more of a general insult
Also, this. But keep in mind, someone popping in to baldly tell how Korra is the worst Avatar ever or that your waifu a shit wouldn't be mistaken for Concerned. He always presented himself as a fan of the show.
> I mean do the thread regulars really think Concerned's still here? I think he gave up a while ago.
He's been gone for weeks and months at a time before, and still come back. I have to admire his determination.
>>1931084
>The "LoK is so bad that no one even writes fanfic/fanart for it anymore" is so batshit I don't really think anyone else would post it.
That's what he was saying the last time he was here. Taking passive-aggressive potshots by illustrating that no one cares about LoK because of no fanfic/bad fanfic. Which is mental.
>>1931093
>Perhaps "The Sting"? It was an awful ep. Barely any Korra. Lin being retarded. Asami being a dumbass and Mako being supercop.
That was a terrible episode. Even my rampant Asamifaggotry had a hard time handling that one. I think one of the few positives I gleaned from that ep was adding yet another thing Asami knows how to pilot like a badass. The other things were Varrick and...I actually liked the Nuktuk mover. Didn't care for the Bolin/Ginger part of the plot, but thought the mover was fun.
>>1931099
> Even my rampant Asamifaggotry had a hard time handling that one
Bar one thing, nothing she does in the ep is character focused in the way we see from book 1 (see, a compliment) or book 4. Plus, you have the reignition of the love triangle and Asami not knowing what insurance or locks are.
>The other things were Varrick and...I actually liked the Nuktuk mover.
We're harsher on the book 2 Varrick stuff because of overexposure of Varrick and Bolin in book 4. But we shouldn't forget that he carried the season until "Beginnings" for some viewers.
>>1931102
>Asami not knowing what insurance
...Come to think of it is there any insurance in Avatarverse?

Some people thought the Varrick/Zhu-Li wedding was the highlight of Book 4, too. Doesn't mean we shouldn't laugh at them.
>>1931108
>...Come to think of it is there any insurance in Avatarverse?
I can't see how they could have had an industrial revolution without it. Plus, we saw there were pirates, traders and merchants in Aang's time. I suspect there were insurers for a very long time.
There's a legit reason why people wouldn't insure Asami, though, what with Future Industries' reputation being poison.

I imagine like in real life, especially in our roughly analogous time period to the show, lots of the insurance is basically just a scam. And depending on what she's working on, some stuff is going to be virtually impossible to insure anyway.

Insurance predates the modern period by a long time. Republican Rome had people selling fire insurance, for instance.
Avatar isn't big on detailed world building in general though so you're already putting more thought into it than the writers did.
There's a pretty good Opal x Kuvira fic that updated recently. It has non-OoC Opal, Kuvira, and Suyin.

>>1931123
>so you're already putting more thought into it than the writers did.
I've heard this comment a few times in this thread re: worldbuilding.
I think it's unfair, because Bryke - especially for AtLA - were targeting a young audience who probably wouldn't be terribly interested in the minutiae of a nation's economics. I know they delved into politics somewhat, but that was usually just for grandiose drama eg. Yue having to marry what'shisname.
>>1931108
>is there any insurance in Avatarverse?
Cabbage Corp was founded on insurance money.
>>1931478
Ah. Was that established in the comics? Because I never read those. But like >>1931120 mentioned, Future Industries was probably toxic, no one would want to risk insuring it.
>>1931452
On one hand, most story-tellers (whether prose or art) have extensive world building beyond what the audience gets to see. On the other, Bryke are artists, not writers, so cohesive or proper world building is not their strength. Plus as you mention, general time constraints and target audience means most of the things most mature viewers would be curious/interested/knowledgeable about aren't developed well. But when it comes to the economics/politics it's just a little more frustrating because it's kind of one thing to gloss over it, it's another to have a kind of nonsensical system. And it wears on the characters badly when due to the lazy set-up they end up acting like total morons (or undeserving geniuses).
Also, we run out of things to talk about, so it's just another thing we turn to dissect until we get some new material. Honestly as much as it makes me roll my eyes when I watch it, it doesn't really take away much enjoyment of the series. Not like the more terrible character/plot choices.

If you're talking primetime comedies like that and other long running animated shows, there have been plenty of gay characters. But when it comes to dramatic, action orientated shows ostensible aimed at children, I can't think of any confirmed sapphic relationship before Korrasami.
>>1931856
>there have been plenty of gay characters
Uh, have there? I can't remember any besides The Simpsons (for animated) and for live action comedies there may have been a few more, but hardly what I'd call "plenty." I'm thinking pre-2005ish? Of course I didn't watch all that many western cartoons, so there's a pretty good chance I simply missed any. But considering all the outrage around Spongebob obviously being gay w/out explicit confirmation, I have a hard time believing any other cartoons around that time would have an openly gay character. I do remember reading somewhere that the guys behind Gargoyles wanted Lexington to be gay, but the network shut them down.
>can't think of any confirmed sapphic relationship before Korrasami.
Yeah, pretty sure canon animated lady gay couple goes to Korrasami. Well, considering how butthurt SU fans get when it's mentioned it seems Korrasami wins that title.
>>1931879
> for live action comedies there may have been a few more, but hardly what I'd call "plenty."
King of the Hill, South Park, Family Guy and the Venture Brothers all had a gay character or two. None was really a major character, and like I said, these are all comedies aimed at an older audience.
> I do remember reading somewhere that the guys behind Gargoyles wanted Lexington to be gay, but the network shut them down.
I've heard that too. Felt like they may have written him that way regardless, sans an explicit attraction.
>considering how butthurt SU fans get when it's mentioned it seems Korrasami wins that title.
I feel sorry for any casual fan of SU that decides they'd like to venture on to the internet to discuss the series with other fans and finds the cesspit that is the online SU fandom.

Yeah, even I thought that was stupid. But Asami wins, because Kyhu is as guilty as anyone of ye olde fanon Asami, who is perfect in every way. Especially in her older stuff.
>>1933997
To be fair, in a non bending sparring match, I'd think Asami would win, especially when they first start sparring.
>>1934072
>To be fair, in a non bending sparring match, I'd think Asami would win, especially when they first start sparring.
Korra has taken out huge men and multiple foes without her bending. Asami's never done anything comparable without the glove. I'm not trying to undersell Asami. She's probably an Olympic level athlete. But Korra is freakishly gifted.
>>1934204
Korra's S1E3 fight when her entire right side is paralyzed shows how adaptive her fighting skills are, having to fight off her (assumingly) non-dominant side.
Korra's freakish strength is played for laughs, except when it's not, like her Colossus battle where she pulls off Avatar state-tier bending, even without being in the state itself.
https://youtu.be/kzy-IFpjTeQ?t=6m29s
For balance's sake, fanon believes Asami would destroy Korra in close quarters, non-bending combat, and I'm not inclined to disagree. IIRC, Korra's few non-bending bouts of attack have been easily above-average in skill, like on top of the arena glass in S1E5, but not freakishly untouchable like Asami's.lots of fights habbenin tonight and tomorrow, which you can watch mostly free, semi-legally at taima tv/r/mma /shill

>having her right hand down by her waist, which is equally as silly looking.
I'd like to add that having at least your lead hand low and even down by your waist is a valid adjustment for MMA, as it affords you an underhook if your opponent changes levels and shoots for a takedown.
You can still defend your front by shoulder shrugging, head movement, and most importantly footwork, but there is zero reason to leave your rear guard hanging unless you enjoy headkicks and hooks to your face.

>IIRC, Korra's few non-bending bouts of attack have been easily above-average in skill, like on top of the arena glass in S1E5, but not freakishly untouchable like Asami's.
In Book 2, ep 3, Korra took out four high level waterbenders singlehandedly, managing to subdue them without injury. She bends once during the fight, and it's just a single blast of airbending to tighten the tarp she had already trapped two of them in.
Asami, imo, without the glove would have been cooked. Tbh, even with the glove, I don't think I'd have fancied her chances. Asami relies on surprise and shock (lel) tactics. But without those, we get situations like the Earth Queen's forces capturing her effortlessly.
>>1934239
>links
It's always fun to go back and watch these reactions. Catch the old feeling of amazement at the finale.
>>1934204
In a sparring match utilizing mostly technique without trying to cause harm? Like grapple-kneechan mentioned, Korra's got strength and natural adaptive ability, but stripping her of her strongest techniques (bending, a portion of her brute strength) and pit it against Asami's speed and evasiveness...I'd still give it to Asami. Once Korra gets used to Asami's moves then she'd win, no doubt.
>>1934288
As noted, she's adaptive. She used her surroundings to incapacitate them (banner, rope). Still impressive, but not something you'd see in a sparring match. Also should note, those waterbenders weren't used to a nonbending fight, similar to most benders in the series. As we can see in Book 1, Asami holds her own against the close quarter nonbending techniques better than the others.
>Asami, imo, without the glove would have been cooked. Tbh, even with the glove, I don't think I'd have fancied her chances. Asami relies on surprise and shock (lel) tactics. But without those, we get situations like the Earth Queen's forces capturing her effortlessly.
Her style seems largely defensive. Wait for the opponent to attack and take advantage of an opening. The glove helps her "one-shot" that opportunity, but she's got clear access to vital points through technique and evasiveness. As for the EQ's forces...uh, of course she was caught? She's not a bender, and they had to have at least 2 earth benders to erect that trap. That example really doesn't have anything to do with fighting technique. Hell even if we switched her with, say, Mako, the result would've been the same. What would Mako do, try to burn through the walls? He's just cook everybody inside. Being captured in this instance had nothing to do with fight skill or bending ability, but more surprise attack and not being an earthbender.
Anyways the point was that in a SPARRING nonbending match, Asami would most likely win. What we see from Asami lends her the edge over what we see from Korra.
>>1934350
>I'd still give it to Asami.
Fair enough. A nonbending, friendly match does align with Asami's strengths more than Korra's.
>Once Korra gets used to Asami's moves then she'd win, no doubt.
Something we tend to undersell. The first time she encounters chi-blockers, she is totally taken off guard (thanks, White Lotus!). When she's battling chi-blockers during Amon's Bane tribute, she's got their number. Same story with pro-bending. And with Hiroshi's mechs.
She learns metalbending in a day. It's implied she mastered the physical side of airbending in six months. She never has trouble controlling the Avatar State (until, y'know).
It took her a little longer to get the hang of spirit bending, but that's utilising a skill we always knew was her weakest.
Jeez, if /co/ hadn't told me she was the weakest, worst Avatar ever, I'd have actually thought she was kind of overpowered!
>She's not a bender, and they had to have at least 2 earth benders to erect that trap. That example really doesn't have anything to do with fighting technique. Hell even if we switched her with, say, Mako, the result would've been the same
I herp-a-derped here. I should have been more clear and specified that I meant the unseen fight that took place after that. We see Asami, Korra and Naga get walled in. But they're not trapped in earth like, say, Su and Lin trapped Zaheer. And the earthbender(s) outside aren't Toph either, so they can't just do that from behind the wall. They'd have had to open it to go claim the Avatar.
I think it's heavily implied from Asami's state when Korra wakes up in her Hannibal Lector costume that there was a struggle, and Asami came out the worse.

I wonder how many writefags have already translated that to rape

SweetRaava, I hope none.
So, barring /u/ taking speed, the next thread will be the anniversary thread, right?

I doubt there was any chance for any melee though. The trap was to get the moving target to stop, from there they could just collapse the walls inward bit by bit, they don't need to be Beifong level or even Dai Li level to subdue the people trapped without taking down the walls. I'm more inclined to believe there was barely an opportunity for struggle since Naga is shown no worse for the wear, and Asami's dishevelment can be easily attributed any other rough handling or disappointment in herself for failing her future wife.
Although now that I think about it, why didn't Asami have her glove? Seems like an oversight she normally wouldn't miss.

The latter, most likely. She looked devastated that she'd let Korra be captured while she was the one protecting her. Asami was possessed the next ep.
>Although now that I think about it, why didn't Asami have her glove? Seems like an oversight she normally wouldn't miss.
It's very possible she did have it on her person, in one of her giant-ass (actually thigh) pockets, but hadn't an opportunity to don it between escaping from Ghazan and Ming Hua, piloting/riding Naga, and holding her waifu to her chest. Then the walls rose up from no where. If your idea that they just collapsed the walls in until Asami was forced to surrender is true, then an EK soldier likely searched her and confiscated the glove before chaining her up in Korra's cell.
>>1934513
I guess. She's usually shown to be pretty diligent about wearing it in potentially dangerous situations, but if it was confiscated that would make sense that it didn't pop up again until she took out that Red Lotus lackey - she had to get her back up from her ship?
>giant-ass (actually thigh) pockets
I have this ridiculous thought that Korra puts snacks in those pockets so she can munch on them later, much to Asami's chagrin.

Korra doesn't exactly come of as a "snack" person actually. Usually we see her eat full meals. The only time she had a snack was the cotton candy.
