I don't think so. He could hold them at bay, but Tenzin has only so much stamina. He was only pushing them back, I doubt that he could defeat all three if the fight went on without sniper lady.Also,
Tenzin literally could have taken down all 3 of them if it wasn't for sniper lady

While Korra hasn't hit the highs of TLA for me, I still am enjoying this season a ton. Best season of Korea yet. It was awesome to see Tenzin kicking butt. That's what I want to see more of. Korra fights are never as exciting as fights from TLA and I think that's just sort of Korra's style, but watching Tenzin was awesome. I always wanted to see an Airbender fight, to see an Airbender who was evil enough to use his power to suffocate people. Korra is great about exploring the world of Avatar more, and that's all I ever wanted out of the show. I'm really sad, because I feel the odds are slim we'll get another show in the Avatar world with the way Nick is treating Korra. I just want series after series exploring this world and all the things that could happen. Maybe Netflix will pick it up
Tenzin needs to learn from his dad and just fly away whenever a fight gets too tough.
That's like airbending philosophy man. Run away and live to run away another day.
Uh, how was Zaheer even close to touching Tenzin in that fight? He never landed a punch. The reason Tenzin too so long to defeat him is because Zaheer is good at dodging and even then Tenzin got him multiple times. Heck Tenzin along would have been able to take those three if it wasn't for the Sniper Lady Pi'lo. And it makes sense that the other two could take on Tenzin's siblings. Unlike Zaheer, those other two have been master benders all their lives, and Bumi is just as new as Zaheer is.
Also, Zaheer has never won a fight until now. Everything he has done is cool looking, but most times when he is in a fight, he is running away. He doesn't successfully defeats Tenzin's sister, he distracts her and runs. When in this season has Zaheer been strong? Smart? Yes. Clever? Yes. Somewhat one-dimensional? Yes. But strong? In personality maybe but not as a bender.
He couldn't. He was protecting the other air benders
Yeah I know, I was joking.
He wasn't fighting because he wanted to. He had to stall for the others.
ooooh
Solid. Gold.
i love and hate you at the same time
edit: all this talk reminds me... Tarrlok is fucking underrated, man. we dont love Tarrlok enough in here
This post is perfect!

Probably because Tarlok was boring. He was like the Nute Gunray of tLoK. His sole redeeming quality was being involved in one of the greatest Avatar scenes of all time, and giving Amon at least a half satisfactory resolution.

Double episode finale is a nice touch.. I hope Zaheer will not end in this season. I need a multi season villain arc.
Where´s Azula? I have not seen him posting here lately.

You could say they operate on the honor system.
That silhouette looks distinctly Mako-ish...
Yeah, he really seemed to have left in shame... that was he said in his last post :S the discussion he was having didn't seem to merit any real sense of having to leave haha.
I'm making a post here, since someone PM'd me asking and I figured it was better to just clear the air.
No, I did not leave because of the last post here (what Joeytj is referring to)...well sort of. Basically, my cousin who I was really close with (like best friends) had committed suicide after a life long battle of clinical depression. That entire week I was emotionally distraught, and was having a hard time coping with it. Emotionally I was not stable, and had no business posting on NeoGAF while in this mental state. However, one of the ways I tried dealing with my sadness was to distract myself by posting on GAF like a mad man. So yeah, when I saw a post in this thread that rubbed me the wrong way (the way a certain poster was being stand offish to someone), I launched in on them and got into the whole debate about sub-bending and what not. Of course, people debated with me on it (and they had every right to do so), but I wasn't really in the right mind frame. And so to me, it felt like people were piling up on me.
Of course that wasn't true at all. No one was to blame and no one was piling up on me (it was me that was being aggressive). In fact, they were doing what any normal person would do when they don't agree with someone and were calmly debating it. But I wasn't really being rational in that moment, and I was being overly emotional and so I kind of had a little meltdown. I don't want to make excuses for it, because it was clearly childish and pathetic. But what can I say, I was on a war path, and on the hinge of breaking down emotionally, so it wasn't anything but irrational.
So a couple days went by, and I decided that I was going to just leave NeoGAF. Again, it wasn't rational. I was going to message Evilore and have him ban my account. However, my GF who is an avid gamer told me that she would take the account instead (I think she figured I would eventually want to go back to GAF, so she just took it until I was ready to come back). However, I had an admin change the accounts name to her favorite character (Persona is actually my favorite series, but Chie is my fav character), because at the moment I figured she really was going to take it over. I of course quickly regretted doing this, as after a day of two of emotional release, I realized how irrational I was being about everything.
But, the damage was done. I have a name change now, and I really couldn't go back to this thread after abandoning my beloved name, and leaving on such a dramatic fashion. I'm both embarrassed and ashamed. And the worst part of all this, is that I still find myself having a wave of emotion come over me at random times of the day, and I start crying. I know that time will eventually heal my wounds. I just ask that you guys don't think too poorly of me, for reacting the way that I did. Again, I know it was pathetic and shameful. I know it was irrational. I'm not proud of it.
Anyways, I don't think I'll be posting in this thread again (for the obvious reason that I'm embarrassed and ashamed). But, I figured I would at least let some folks know why I stopped posting here, and why I had the bizarro name change.

There is nothing to be ashamed of, you were going and maybe are still going through a difficult phase of life.
As you see, we love and miss you. It's ok if you don't feel like regularly posting here right now, but we'll look forward to the day you come back. Yukiko and Azula are only names, you are you. And you're posts are always a valuable addition to this thread.

Sorry to hear that, but don't worry about it. I say some stupid shit all the time, it's part of being human. We can't judge ourselves to harshly for when we do make one, or someone irritates us,

we'll miss you in the meantime

Dude, there's nothing to be ashamed about. I am sorry about my post, but as I said, It was weird for me to think that you left because of that. You didn't seem that out of control in that discussion or anything. Hope that tells you just how good of a poster you are, don't be so hard on yourself. My condolences for your loss also.
Hope you do post in the future. At least some quick thoughts on the finale.
so what you're saying is that jinora not doing anything in the latest episode was actually a sign of her airbending mastery?
Your new username is Yukiko and you have a Taiga avatar. So you're cool in my book.

Well all of this is a damn shame. Sorry to hear about your loss. Sounds like it's been really tough on you. I hope you're able to find peace soon.
I'm not gonna pressure you to do anything while you're going through such a hard time, but I do hope you'll reconsider your decision to quit posting here. You're a really cool person, and this thread just won't be the same without your presence. It's clear that you think you've made some colossal fuck-up (and I know this is easier said than done), but please try to forgive yourself. I don't think anyone here is going to a hold a grudge.

Whoa that's some heavy stuff right there.
Good luck dude and you know you're always welcome here so don't hesitate to return if/when you feel like it.
dealing with grief is extremely difficult, can last a long time, and can make you act in ways you never thought you would. i'm sorry you had to go through that. it's tough when it feels like no one else knows what you feel like inside, or that nobody cares about what you're going through.
i haven't really kept up with this thread, but if your biggest crimes are posting like a madman in a neogaf thread about avatar: the last airbender -- it's all good. i can assure you i've acted out in far dumber ways. i'm sure a number of us have in situations like these.
while i may only casually comment on this show, i always look forward to your insight. you don't have to stay for the sake of everyone here, but you shouldn't feel that you have to leave either.

Not only the Tarrlok vs Amon scene, but Tarrlok vs Korra was epic as fuck. When he was sitting at his desk with the huge water feature behind him, he was MENACING. That stuff was what made season 1 great...until the end of course.
To Azula:
Hope you feel better soon. We'll be waiting for you
Yukiko,
I understand why you're embarrassed, but there's no need. Your reactions were all valid, and completely understandable. I don't post in this thread often, but I enjoyed reading your takes on the Avatar universe. I hope you'll reconsider, whenever you're ready, and post in this thread again.

So looks like reviewers are getting early review copies for the LOK Book 3 finale and well very positive impressions about it so far.
Can't believe how fast the season has gone so far, only a couple days left now till Book 3 is finished.

I hope the finale makes up for the rest of the season not keeping my interest very well. I'll keep an open mind.
Even if they do somehow manage to mess up the finale, I think it's safe to say that this has easily been the best season of Korra so far.
Please don't mess it up Mike and Bryan.

You can put me down as another poster who doesn't think that Tenzin has died. I say this because he is the only master airbender alive in the world of the LoK, i.e. he is far too valuable to that world to die. From what they have shown of Jinora, Korra and Zaheer, there is no one else, in my opinion, who you can say has Tenzin's mastery of airbending; if he was to die, it would leave the LoK world (has anyone stated what the name of the world of ATLA and LoK is?) without a true airbending master.
However, there are certainly arguments which can be used against my viewpoint. First, one of the main plot points of Original Airbenders was whether Jinora was ready to take more responsibility as an airbender, which Tenzin's death would necessitate, and achieve the status of an airbending master. Second, in the original series* Aang, albeit he already had his airbending tattoos, was 12 and the only living airbender, so even if he was a master at the time, there must have been plenty of improvement in Aang's airbending abilities, whether it be as a side-effect of growing up, gaining experience through battles, or reading pre-existing airbender literature.
However, I don't think the show has done enough to suggest that Jinora and Korra are sufficiently skilled enough yet to replace Tenzin.
I think Lin and Suyin are more likely to die because either can function as Korra's (and Bolin's) metalbending master, Mako's story arc for the fourth series could centre around him proving himself worthy to take on more responsibility in the Republic City in the wake of Lin's death; and if Suyin dies, her family can be quietly shuffled to one side for the last series, and in place of Opal, Bolin can pine for a firebender or earthbender instead (the Fire Lord's or Toph's toyboy perhaps? Let's not go there!)
I would not mind if Bolin died, because I am sick of his character. Usually, rather than finding him funny, he annoys me. Sure, Sokka did silly things from time to time, but he was also a competent tactician, an inventive thinker and someone who we could laugh with, as opposed to at. For example, in The Fortuneteller, while we laughing at Sokka's incredulous reactions to the people around him, we were also laughing with him when he was challenging the fallacies of the villager's steadfast belief in Aunt Wu.
Whereas Bolin seems to have the mental age of a 4 year old, frequently coming out with the stupidest and inane things to say at that moment in time; the clip from episode 12 is a perfect example of this: his only contribution is to come up with a nonsensical plan in a serious situation. What is Bolin's reason for existing outside of unfunny jokes, non-existent metalbending and doomed (potential) romances? To me he is more of a caricature than a character. Admittedly there is the occasional joke that produces a laugh from me, but it is relatively rare and I certainly would not miss his presence in the fourth series.
This is a forum, so please feel free to defend Bolin, and try and convince me of his greatness, or mediocrity at least.

Today's episode of the Nerdist Writers Panel podcast is with Konietzko and DiMartino.
I haven't listened to it yet but this is usually a pretty good podcast.
It's not showing up on the page yet but it's in their RSS feed.

Also, proof of more season 2 relevance
It's my understanding that there are regular showings of Season 2 for people who die with unconfessed sins.
Amazon Prime has the first season. iTunes and Amazon will sell you either season; probably the second one will get added to Prime in the relatively near future. Edit: Apparently they got pulled from iTunes a while back.
Excellent on Amazon Prime for season 1. I guess I can wait for season 2 to appear. Thanks!

I understand the joke that GRRM kills big characters, but I feel like people need to read the other three books as well where he has lost a bit of his guts.
