This is what ha
>>1992090
Much to 'Asami's' dismay.
Give me one good reason why I shouldn't think Asami built the giant Korra statue?
>>1992206
Because Korrasami was pandering rushed fan service that didn't make any sense and they're just gal pals and Asami is abusive to Korra didn't you see how she raised her voice to her that one time?
Sorry, the only reasons to NOT think Asami was behind Avatar Korra park is if you're a Makorrafag, and that's pretty much their response to anything Korrasami.
>>1992206
There aren't any. Unless you want to get technical and point out that she probably didn't build the statue with her own hands.
Probably. I mean, she did have three years...
>>1992214
Who do you think are more butthurt: /co/ or tumblr makorrafags?
>>1992187
Even though that interview showed that not many of them liked the Korra character apparently. At least those interviewed.

Korra is VERY atypical in East Asian culture. A forceful, cocky, superpowered young woman that demanded, often with the implied threat of force, that her way was the right way.
(Yeah, I know that this isn't a generous appraisal of book one Korra, but Koreans gonna Korea.)
Meanwhile, as a Euro, I fell for her from ep one.

>Who do you think are more butthurt: /co/ or tumblr makorrafags?
It's almost too close to call. On one hand /co/ is butthurt over almost everything LoK, while Makorrafags just pretend to be butthurt over everything LoK, but really they're just butthurt over Korrasami. Ultimately I think Makorrafags end up with the saltiest tears though, because as clumsily as it was handled, they were pretty much the ones Bryke called out in their confirmation posts. Also /co/ being butthurt kinda seems to be their default attitude?
>>1992242
I'mWorstKorean and I can confirm that S1/2 Korra really turned me off.
>>1992245
I wonder how she'd take the prospect of Lin breaking decorum and fucking a subordinate as the chief of police?
>>1992290
Considering the fucking was a drunken act of misery, she'd find it hilarious.
>>1992291
What if Toph gets new grandchildren?
>>1992292
She'd probably still find it funny. "I'm surprised everything still works down there. Anyways hope you don't screw up your kids like you screwed up being Chief."
>>1992296
Would Lin spitefuck said certain subordinate even more to get back at her mum? That sounds more up Su's alley gathering from what I've read here.
>>1992290
>>1992291
>Considering the fucking was a drunken act of misery, she'd find it hilarious.
Sis, have mercy.
>>1992287
>Also /co/ being butthurt kinda seems to be their default attitude?
Yeah. Hard to say they are just assblasted over the Korrasami ending when they are assblasted 24/7 over everything. Really, I'm not even mad at them for that. So it's the Makorrafags alright.
>>1992289Raava,I wish I had picked up AtLA and LoK earlier.
>>1992236
>Who do you think are more butthurt: /co/ or tumblr makorrafags?
/co/ hated the show and characters except for the males characters.
makorrafags hated Korra when she wasn't lusting after Mako's perfect lightning shooting condescending always correct intelligent orphan cock, and Asami
/co/ has more butthurt surface area and volume.
>>1992299
It wouldn't be a spitefuck, it'd be a sadfuck to cope with her mommy issues. But yeah, Su is the one to run around doing shit for spite. I mean, that's pretty much directly laid out in canon.
>>1992309
Well I'm the one who greentexted the drunken banging and freudian slips, so you know where I'm at on the whole deal.I don't even ship MakoLin, but I'll gladly throw out miserable/hilarious headcanons for the neechans who do.
>>1992335
>/co/ hated the show and characters except for the males characters.
I hate to use tumblrspeak, but there absolutely were soggy knees involved in the hatred of Korra. Aang made far worsr choices and fucked up far more often, and never received anything like the vitriol Korra did from /co/.
>makorrafags hated Korra when she wasn't lusting after Mako's perfect lightning shooting condescending always correct intelligent orphan cock
And those were precisely the times I was cringing. Remember that Bryke admitted that it was only in book three that they stopped trying to force characters to do things that just did not fit their characterisation at all. Korra's whole book one romance "arc" is forced beyond belief. I buy Masami a little more because she's smitten with the Fire Ferrets and Mako is smitten with her money. Even then, it's all shallow as fuck.
>and Asami
Combination of Bryke sidelining her and, again, soggy knees.
>/co/ has more butthurt surface area and volume.
Agreed.

But until then...
>>1992441
This yummy salt.
I hadn't heard of tumblr until /co/ told me what it was actually. Before that, I'd only been on /a/. Never visited until the finale to find fan art.
>>1992290
I find it hard to believe that Toph didn't fuck all of her subordinates.
>>1992318
>Yeah. Hard to say they are just assblasted over the Korrasami ending when they are assblasted 24/7 over everything.
A lot of it comes from them becoming tumblr 2.0 and the posters unhappy with this going nuts and reflexively hating on anything tumblr likes, or is even perceived to like.
>>1992441
>Still this butthurt over tumblr.
Give it a rest, onee-sama. Or maybe talk to your therapist.
>>1992289

Different anon, but the majority of tumblr IS a steaming pile of shit. I have this one artist that I follow and every damn day there's a whole wall of posts full of reaction gifs and other kind of bullshit on my dash due to her but I also really like her damn art.

That'd be iahfy/kyhu innit? I had to stop following her since there would be pages of reposts I couldn't follow at a sane pace. Also wish she'd just save her images in png if her jpgs will be so bloated anyway.
>>1992732
>That'd be iahfy/kyhu innit?
No. Believe it or not, but I do like other fandoms too. And she is way worse than Kyhu. Like 10 posts of fucking Supernatural reaction gifs in a row worse.
I didn't know Asami is in Batman these days.

But lets be real, if suyin wasnt such a shit person then kuvira would never have done the things she did.
In the end she just wanted her mommy...
Suyin a shit, she destroyed Lin and kuvira by being a selfish shit person.
>>1994526
If no one is a barista, the people just don't care anymore.
>>1994556KyalinI don't feel guilty.
>>1994631
I read that as barrister.
Though a legal setting would work with the trio. All them sexy business suits.
Remember that thought we had months back about Yasuko escaping to the URN after a tragic, sapphic affair?
Seems Drakyx had something similar.
>>1994556Korra x Screen time.
She's like Zuko to me in a show where everyone else was mediocre or unfulfilled. I don't really care about Asami which is apparently okay since the writers didn't until the last five minutes. Korra's character study and potential is maximum and I wonder what it would be like if the show was framed more like Samurai Jack, Cowboy Bebop or tempered to be like Zuko Alone 24/7. Korra and Tenzin plus other people they encounter but don't have them jump on Naga/the boat/the airship and carry them everywhere.
>>1994648
I'm not sure if I see it. I mean Azula in a suit would be fantastic, but the lot of them just scream being rich kids.
>>1994648
>>1994665
>>1994676
>>1994676
Right side Azula totally looks like she still has firebending
>>1994679
That would be daddy dearest.
Azula is basically the equivalent of a Mob princess.
Only in on the whole whole thing.
>>1994665
Azula seems like she would be a great hotshot lawyer in the stereotypical amoral sociopath way. Ty Lee would be her paralegal who's a bit of an airhead, but Azula is banging her, so she gets away with it. Mai would be another lawyer at the firm who only hangs out with Azula and Ty Lee because she hates everyone else more and she's fucking Azula's brother, so it makes things easier.
>>1994680
And a bit less of an airhead, hopefully.
>>1994680
So right it'll be revealed when the obligatory family exploration chapter comes up and Ozai ends up in the hospital for something unrelated to the family business.
>>1994683
heart attack, from all the stress his family is causing.
>>1994681
When you put it that way, it makes sense.
I assume Ty Lee wants to make the relationship more than just fucking but Azula is resistant to the idea because she's Azula?
Also Zuko seems like he'd be sorta disowned and working for Iroh (who is semi-retired from the whole organized crime thing and running a tea shop that's a front for the family business) until he learns whatever lesson Ozai thinks he ought to learn.
>>1994682
Azula would still be Azula. Not airheadedness at all.
>>1994683
Probably. Azula may have to face the possibility of having to drop her legal career that is mostly based on getting people in her father's employ off as lightly as possible so she can take over the family because Zuko is still disgraced.
>>1994686
It would probably lead to her realizing she likes being semi-distanced from the business and would prefer to be the Oyabun's advisor or equivalent instead of being the actual Oyabun.
You know, if she had to take over for a bit.
>>1994687
I imagine that Ty Lee and certain duties and matters of respect would play into her decision. Expectations of producing an heir, and the general uphill battle she'd have being Oyabun as a woman.
>>1994556everyone
>>1994689
I feel like I have to read up on Yakuza culture to comment on this.
>>1994698
I'm just going what sounds right for a plot, I don't really know shit about the Yakuza. Though honestly we don't even need it to be specifically yakuza. Any nonspecific organized crime family sort of deal would work.
>>1994700
The heir thing I can see, but her position and the course she apparently took in life probably would've rendered that expectation as moot. The only real uphill thing I think she'd have is if she actually wanted to permanently be Oyabun and not just temporary one in Ozai's stead with the help of his higher ups while he recovers.
anyone have a pic by khyu like this, its similar but somewhat different.
colored version of this?
>>1994706
It's one thing to be daddy's favorite and being the team super lawyer, it's another to actually run the show permanently.
>>1994708
>>1994708
>colored version of this?
The eyes are different though.
>>1994706
If "bending" is still a thing and Ozai lost his, then she could use the fact that she still has her bending as reason for her permanent position. She's an heir to the throne and has her bending.
>>1994718
I dunno. Zuko is fairly capable, but Azula not taking on the position permanently feels like it would make for a better story.
Also bending should very much be a thing. With Azula threatening her clients/lackies with it so they don't' fuck up and get arrested again.
>>1994720
>Azula not taking on the position permanently feels like it would make for a better story.
Exactly, plus she could be the cool oba-san to her little brother since Ozai would probably have another child if he goes through trophy wives.I also just happen to like the idea of her being the shadow boss while Zuko's the face.
Yeah I suppose I could see bending being used for that, but I feel it wouldn't be handled properly in such a fic so I'd rather not have it at all over having it and the potential of it being front and center instead of rarely used.
>>1994722
Benders would likely keep their ability hidden for the most part, as it has obvious concerns for basically any authority, plus having the ability tends to link one to unsavory types.
Also it would be vastly more useful in a modern setting if it took place in a country with basically no guns, even in the hands of criminals.
>>1994720
>Also bending should very much be a thing
Oh, I dunno about that. Having overwhelming physical and magic power removes some of the tension, no? Who would be worried if Azula was arrested when she can just fight her way out?
>>1994726
Because having that power does not mean one should necessarily use it.
>>1994729
Just make them rewatch all the scenes about Azula infiltrating Ba Sing Se until they get the point.
>>1994730
They'd just learn that there was no war in Ba Sing Se. Wouldn't really help.
>>1994731
I'm conflicted between wanting to punch you or brofist you for saying that.
The real question that needs to be asked regarding this hypothetical organized crime with lawyer Azula fic ishow useless is Ursa?
>>1994737
She's good for inspiring Azula to drunkenly seek out Ty Lee for more loving than sober Azula sex that just sorta ends with cuddling and watching late night television.
>>1994737
Depends on the writer's mother complex. Will she be a lazy drunk who spends her days sipping wine while on anxiety drugs? Or will she be a strong willed mom who fights for her family in various traditionally feminine ways?
>>1994737
If we can use her character from "Zuko Alone" then we have someone useful for both Azula and Zuko. Any other Ursa after that and we lose substance.
>>1994726
>Having overwhelming physical and magic power removes some of the tension, no?
If you aren't a good writer, yeah. A writer can always just have the character lose despite having overwhelming physical and magic power if they make them an idiot or because the writer said so like some Game Master on a power trip.
>>1993872
I like the advertisment version more
>>1994718
>Yeah, though if anyone would be capable in his family line it'd be Azula. Zuzu probably couldn't handle the messier stuff.
In the Yakuza it's hardly about being 'capable'. That Zuko is male alone would give him the big edge.
So, Bi or Lesbians?
>>1995131
>>>/lbgt/Obviously bisexual, since ACTUAL relationships.
>>1995131
They're bi.
We've known this since the finale.
Now fuck off.
I'm starting to think the people on /co/ who complain about the ending never actually watched the show.
>>1995359
Maybe, I myself while fully enjoying the ship still feel they went too light.

If they chose red fluid coming out of there and it's not supposed to be blood, it's definitely a poor choice.
>>1996536
Yeah, that looks like blood.
I think with the technological advancement seen in the series, Asami could have a blimmin' hoverbike in the comics.
>>1997150
The way you're saying it now makes it sounds like Azula is performing a quite physical abortion.
>>1997434

>>1997680
I can also see that Ty Lee might be kind of a slut that could get accidentaly pregnant and would then have to be punished...
Is Asami strong enough to hold Korra this way?
>>1997864
If you consider her lifetime of martial arts training and work with heavy machinery, it's an easy yes. And unless Bryke directly refutes it, there's nothing that will convince me she didn't carry Korra around like that when she was crippled.
>>1997864
She can bear hug and lift Tenzin and his entire family. So she's probably strong enough to toss Asami up and down like you would a kid.
>>1997875

Too much of an expense. Plus what would we be implying? That she puts it up to work on machines? That we could have had her do that while making repairs in a earlier season then briefly have her hair up in other scenes to use visuals as a cue to what happened before without the need for dialogue thus allowing the audience to put 2 and 2 together?
Bah! Have some more Bolin gesticulating at great length along with meaningless lip flapping all while being on model.

What threads I do see have them only credit Varrick and Zhu Li as a saving grace along with Wan. Lin love is no longer something brought up.
And then there's the obligatory Bolinfag, the people who say Wan had beautiful visuals but shat on the story and lore, and those who say Varrick is a meme.
I'm not angry that /co/ doesn't embrace Korrasami. I'm angry at the writers for fucking around when they didn't have time or resources to fuck around with in the first place thereby letting such sentiment take root at all.
So this is probably going to be fruitless, but I remember there being a post fic about Asami having to follow Water Tribe tradition and hypnotizing Korra for their wedding night?
Anybody have that?
>>2002264
I don't got it, but I also remember it being a thing that happened, so you're not crazy.
>>2002267
Damn. That actually hit a lot of my buttons.
>>2002909
>Why would you need to hypnotize the person you married
Because it was a kink fic first and foremost you dumb. It didn't have to make sense.
>>2002948
>Because it was a kink fic first and foremost you dumb. It didn't have to make sense.
That would explain a lot of the Korra fanfics I've run across.
>>2003372
I think once a certain amount of kinkiness is involved, it starts getting very hard to know how 'canon compliant' it is just through never really seeing their tastes.
Would Korra or Asami have fun crawling around on all fours on a leash? Well, maybe, possibly, in some scenario with many steps leading toward it. But you'll never get to see those steps and we'll never get to truly know initial dispositions, so...
How do I become more like Asami? Where do I find my Korra?

>/co/ hated the show and characters except for the males characters.
While to me, LoK exceeded in great female characters, and barring Tenzin and Zaheer, really fell short on the male side.
We have Mako, the scourge of season one. Everybody's favourite, Bolin. Fucking Meelo. Amon, who ended up being a really weak villain. Unalaq, who was always a weak villain. Varrick was fun but seriously overused. Ghazan was fine but nothing exceptional beyond a neat character design and amazing powers. Bataar Jr. and Wu are written to be dislikeable.
Not that all of the female characters were perfect. Hate for Jinora is often justified, and Su is divisive.

I don't share your dislike of Asami, but I agree with everything else. Korra (and Tenzin) deserved more, while one could have excised a large chunk of the expanded cast and not lose anything of value.

They're irritating in their lack of imagination. One could do very interesting things with the Avatar or LoK cast in a modern setting. But that would take ambition, and research. Instead, we get college student and barista versions of the depowered cast.
>>2005327
I'll be honest that I'd take the usual modern setting retardation if they didn't' depower the cast.

LoK COMIC New/Rumor:
http://turtleduckdate.tumblr.com/post/140694049399/avatarkorrapark-when-extremes-meet-yall-know
It appears Brittney Williams is off the Korra comics. No confirmation, but she has removed the LoK comics credit from her portfolios. I don' know what this means for the comics, but there are suggestions that she would be too ill to meet her obligations to Dark Horse.
How do you feel about that, /u/? I know some of you weren't enamoured of her style.
>>2005338
Despite the amount of images I get from there, I still don't have an account.
>>2005342
I find having an acc is just easier to deal with some shit instead of having to search for it all the time.

Nice to see Kyhu doing something a little more interesting for a change. 95% of her output since she stopped doing porn is the torso/bust standard pic.
Why is Korra so short?
>>2005340
While I did like that she kept Korra pretty cut, her facial expressions ran way too young for me. Better suited for Book 1 Korra than Book 4 Korra. So I'm not horribly put off by her dropping out. Of course depending on who gets hired I might eat those words. Mostly I'm worried that this might set the release date back.
>>2005437
Bryke probably wanted that whole Toph was tiny and kicked the most butt so we'll make this girl smaller compared to everyone else in her life. Also the poison probably killed her cartilage.
Come to think of it, how did they get the poison out? Metalbending does not bend metal but rather the impurities of earth in the metal. The metal bends because of the impurities trapped in the surrounding metal.
However, if the impurities were not trapped by a solid layer, they would be bent out of the liquid therefore leaving the poison still inside.
>>2005437
She's not short, just everyone she knows is tall. I think her canon height is 5'8" or 5'10" or something like that, pretty tall for a woman. Fan artists just like to exaggerate the height difference, so instead of being 6', Asami is 6'2"+.
>>2005493
Well what is "earth" to begin with in this context? How do you define the "earth" that earthbenders are able to bend? In the end it's all made up of minerals that are made up of a handful of elements.
Maybe metalbending is just the skill to manipulate an extended range of harder base elements (iron, aluminum, copper, etc.) compared to the brittler, more malleable elements of basic earthbending (silicon, calcium, carbon, etc.)
Many earthbenders have probably had the capacity of bending less malleable elements before, just that Toph as a blind earthbender was the first to really try and focus on the composition of the thing she was bending instead of just settling for flinging rocks around.
Maybe a powerful/fated enough earthbender might even be able to bend even the most non-reactive precious metals.
>>2005493
>>2005547
Oh and about the poison, maybe the fact that mercury is liquid in room temperature makes it particularly easy to bend despite being a fairly nonreactive metal. It's also a really distinct invader in a human body compared to like, the iron in blood, so it wouldn't be too hard to detect if you have any skill in metalbending I would think. Toph was able to sense the residue just by standing next to Korra.
>>2005488
I'm in the same boat. I'm not overly saddened by her (apparently) leaving, because she seemed to have two body types: male and female. All men are broad, DC-cartoons style behemoths, and all women are slender-waisted, wide-hipped and narrowed-shouldered. But looking at Team Avatar, even ignoring the height differences, Korra and Bolin are respectively thicker than Asami and Mako. Bolin is broader than Mako, but Mako's slim waist makes his frame seem larger. Asami is svelte, and Korra has dem delts.
I was worried that Brittney Williams' style would lose all that.
>Mostly I'm worried that this might set the release date back.
Same here. If it's true she was released from the comics as far back as December, we can only hope Dark Horse/Bryke have selected a replacement.
>>2005572

M'lil was consistently more amicable than canon Mako throughout season one of PVB. There's no surprise they continued that.

They've really improved their editing in a short amount of time. Most Abridged series/groups take a lot longer to get to that level.
>>2005824
Yeah. I think the only other group that managed it that quickly was TeamFourStar, but they were obviously held back by the fact that Dragonball Z was rather old.
Looking at Project Voicebend it's amazing how their edits could very well be part of the original. Be it the expressions or Unalaq bending that kid away to showcase how much of a dick he is.
>>2005547
>>2005549
I was going by the purity thing that they were espousing since season 1. Even Toph couldn't bend platinum. And yet they go and use this thing that looks and acts like mercury and have that be bendable despite mercury's composition.
We can't say that it's different than the iron in the body otherwise Toph would be able to sense Aang when he wasn't touching the ground in her debut episode. She only sensed him when he touched back down on the earth. Then just by telling Korra that it's in her Korra can all of a sudden sense it and mess with it.
The impurities in the metal were what was being bent. Not the metal. It wasn't a sludge like the slurry from the drill that both Toph and Katara could bend.
>>2005340
If the creators had to search so long for her like they said, then they would have to search again for just as long.
Her backgrounds and action scenes are dry and you've already talked about the lack of Korra looking like Korra so I'm not sad.
>>2005949
>If the creators had to search so long for her like they said, then they would have to search again for just as long.
Which means we have to maybe wait another year until we get the comics.
>>2005947
>Be it the expressions or Unalaq bending that kid away to showcase how much of a dick he is.
That part was very impressive. Unalaq in general looks great.. He was a weak villain in canon, but being so over the top evil makes for a great parody.
>>2005949
>>2005958
The first search took from Spring 2015 to October. This one will be December 2015 to who knows. I'd like some official confirmation that they're searching. Thing is, there's been no official announcement that Williams is even off the comic, and I doubt there will be until they can announce a replacement.
>>2005975
Go on, Bryan. Do it yourself. You know you want to.
>>2005572
>(inb4 >>>/co/).
Some people have reservations about Korra's characterisation in Book 2. It's not exclusively a /co/ thing. That would be judging Korra exclusively based off of her worst moments in Book 2.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say with this, that's exactly what I said/meant. The mercury in Korra's body was so dramatically alien compared to what little pure metal there's usually in a human body so it was easy for Toph to notice with her seismic sense. Like a radar ping within the larger feedback of Korra's whole body or something. Korra was able to notice it by concenctrating on it because she was touching all of the mercury pretty intimately. The iron in blood on the other hand is a normal and subtle part of the body so Toph wouldn't notice it as a separate thing. And like I said, the fact that mercury is liquid could make it vastly easier to metalbend than other nonreactive elements.
The weirdness of the whole "impurities" thing is what I was talking about with the soft mineral/hard metal split. It doesn't make sense that being able to bend tiny little bits of impurities in a harder metal would make all of the metal just yield however the bender wants it to.
Also, continuing with the base element manipulation thought line, lavabending could be explained as the ability to completely rip apart some of the elemental bonds holding the elements together in a mineral, creating a massive amount of heat and melting the mineral itself.

>>2006137
What were her best moments in Book 2?
>>2006650
Character wise, reconciling with Tenzin and his family. Waking up from her Alice in Wonderland dream and becoming herself in the Spirit World. The one on one fight with Vaatu, which was really great and under-appreciated. Telling the twins she was sorry she could save the insane father. Leaving the portals open because she, being the Avatar, thought it was best for humans to be able (if they wanted) to interact with spirits. Being the mature one and breaking up with Mako FOREVER (yay).
>>2006662
>Telling the twins she was sorry she could save
*Couldn't save
God damnit.
>>2006813
>Oh god is this recent?
No, no. It's from 2013, I think.
>>2006154
Remember that she learned "modern" styles from Bolin and Mako.
>>2006959
>Well these pics along with other posts would explain why she tends to lose her encounters.
But she wins nearly all the time. The only fight she ever lost without extenuating circumstances was the first fight with Unavaatu.
Guess what the Korra crew are working on now:

Maybe it's because Higgins did such an amazing job giving life to Varrick, but the dub was horrible for him. The main Krew dubs are even better than S1's jobs though; they must have gotten comfortable in their caricature roles.

It's because the entire edited picture is meant to be ironic. Or maybe it's because long-time posters are sick of others Gestapo'ing anything that doesn't fit /u/'s guidelines down to the point just to post an image related to their post comment.
>>2007154

Don't use that argument, I know for a fact there's a version without the condoms and cum he could've used. Good thing to note that old fags should get preferential treatment.
>>2007062
>Maybe it's because Higgins did such an amazing job giving life to Varrick, but the dub was horrible for him.
I didn't think it was horrible, just very underwhelming. Which was to be expected. The guy is trying to do a goofy, half buisnessman/half tycoon version of Varrick. But that already is Varrick, and it's how Higgins played him.
They may have been better off re-imagining Varrick. Perhaps playing him straight might have even worked.
>The main Krew dubs are even better than S1's jobs though; they must have gotten comfortable in their caricature roles.
Korra's VA sounds like a professional voice actress. And the girl doing Asami's parody voice seems to be making it her own, kind of like how some of the Team Four Star guys got comfortable with their roles and didn't feel the need to try to imitate the dub anymore.
There's no helping Bolin, though.

I think it's even better that they characterised Asami as being obsessively attracted to Korra before anyone could guess it would be really be canon. Book Two PVB Asami is like a peak into what was going through Asami's mind while being shoved into the background throughout the whole season.
