Korra ep 2 - http://www.220.ro/animale/Korra-S102/ubOT37TL7I/
Havent watched them yet (well i've already seen the first ep, not on this website though). So can't speak for the quality.
Okay, just watched both episodes of Korra and the first thing I have to say is...
MAJOR TROLLING IN EPISODE ONE!
Can't believe they teased us with Zuko's mum. Anyway, the setting seems great and the animation is really good too. Can't believe Sokka is dead though. He always seemed the most immortal. Pleased with the soundtrack and references to the past, though I'm not going to be completely satisfied until Iroh gets a mention and Aang shows up in a spirit world sequence or something like that. Glad to see the statue of Aang and what I assume was a statue of Toph as well. Also, I wonder who the new Fire Lord is. Oh, and that pro bending tournament that was introduced in episode two was amazing.
Probably could have done without the ol' tsundere romance but what can you do.
I liked that guy because I was like ZUKO INCARNATE. Damn I miss Zuko and Iroh and Aang and Toph and Sokka and Momo and Appa and even Azula and Fire Lord frickin' Ozai and that big owl. If Avatar was made in Japan there'd already be three spin-off OVAs about what happened after the world was saved. And in one of the episodes the characters would visit some hot springs. Though I'm glad it wasn't made in Japan. Korra seems like a great character, anyway. And TENZIIIIN is pretty cool. Wonder how powerful that Iron Man guy is gonna be and how he's gonna stand up to Korra is he can't bend. Also why haven't they invented guns yet.
That owl was great. Probably one of my favourite episodes. I always enjoyed the 'spiritey' episodes. Ko the face stealer was also creepy. I'd have been scared seeing them as a kid.
There was a one-off comic after set after the first series if I remember correctly but it was absolute crap.
He probs can bend. Or his head honcho can bend. Or he's a spirit bender. That would make sense: giving him the ability to remove others' bending ablities. Although they'd need to retcon spirit bending for that to fly. That said, I hope they do mention spirit bending at some point because it's still an ass-pull at this point.
Yeah, episodes like that were great. I love the whole mythology of the Avatar world. It's so rich in imagination and creativity. Koh the Face Stealer was amazing. I remember I literally raged when Shymalalananan took him out of the Avatar film. Although it's probably good they did, because they would have just ruined it further. Also, I thought the comic was related the the live action film and not the original series?
I'm not so sure about him being able to spirit bend. In the first series, it seemed like you needed some level of inner peace and air nomad-like mentality to master it. If Iron Man had that I doubt he'd be leading a rebellion. Spirit bending doesn't seem to fit his character. I imagine he'd have some new ability not yet seen, or a new take on bending, like Combustion Man. He was super powerful.
The comic may have been to do with the film, I don't know I didn't see the film. The only thing I can remember from the comic is Zuko asking Aang to kill him or something because he'd become like his father or words to that effect. Pretty sure it was crap anyway. Also Aang and Katara were in a full blown relationship which was just ughh.
Wasn't it also the case in the first series that only the avatar could spirit bend? It's been a while since I saw it. Ozai did alright though with it, just wasn't as strong willed as Aang.
But yeah it could potentially be more interesting if he can't bend. He'll be a more promising villain if he can't be defeated solely by being pummeled to the ground.
I don't know, not a lot was revealed or explicitly said about spirit bending. I would assume it is an Avatar-only kind of thing though, since they are the master of all elements and the doorway to the real world and spirit world, after all.
You should watch the film one day. First time I watched it was just to see how badly they messed up, second time I watched it one night with my best friends, and it was the most hilarious thing ever. It's such a horrible film, we tore it apart.
Which one the Old series or the reboot? Watching the reboot and i love it.Quote:
