They can initiate by telling stories of trying to kill the avatar to each other.

doesn't really fit her character, with her leaving her high-society family and all

Toph is so Arya. Katara is Sansa.

I guess Zuko is The Hound. He was pretty much like "fuck the king" by the time the show ended.
Katara is too feisty to be Sansa. She fits someone like Asha better.

There's no way she's Asha. Azula would be Asha. Theon would be Zuko.

But Zuko gets to keep his balls...
Would General Zhao be Roose?

Ok, that's fucking hilarious. What would Ramsey be though. I can imagine him, torturing, flaying and brain washing people as a member of the Dai Li though.
I found the whole Dante Basco skit to be cringeworthy, honestly... And I'm pretty over Doug's antics.
Is it bad that when I first read these posts I immediately thought of

On a random note, it's nice to see Legend of Korra promoted on PSN, right under GTA V no less.
I'm so pumped for that game. Don't fail me Platinum Games!

Hopefully the only bad thing about the game will be Janet Varney's coffee table stub wooden voice acting.
Yeah what's up with that? She can act, we all watch the show. I guess the game is just missing THE woman Andrea Romano. My other goddess of voice work.
I think my main problem with Legend of Korra is how little Korra actually changes the world. Usually it's the villains that bring up points that require change and usually their actions is what moves the world along.
The council was shit at representing the people and due to that Non-benders were mistreated? Time to elect someone that actually have the interest of the people (Outside of Tenzin the council cared more about control then anything. The fact that they can easily take the rights of people away was surprising and sickening)
Season 2...sucked, though on one hand Korra took it in her own hands to change the world. On the other hand that decision probably should have been made with more people present. (She did get called out for it in season 3 though, so that was good)
Season 3. I honestly think this season major crux should have been against the earth queen and how Korra changed Ba Sing se, and the people that were living in it. Nope, after Korra saved the Airbenders, she didn't care less if Ba sing se rotted. Zaheer was the one that caused change for better or worse. And he was the one that made people notice how shit the city was.
Korra should have played a more active role and changing the world.

She probably looked at the "pay check" Activision gave her and gave a crap performance as protest. They probably just payed her in money that had Bolin's face on it.
It's a bummer, but I am happy that some of the LOK crew is working on the game at least.
I just want an Unalaq boss fight, though.
JadedWriter

Because you personally want to realize your dreams of power bombing Unalaaq. Maybe they'll give Korra an Ultraman costume if that happens.
YES.
But from the sounds of it, the final boss should be pretty great, as usual for these guys.
It will be the last fight of the game and it is only unlocked through DLC.
I will eat that up.^^^
No more GOT, watch quality tv like Sleepy Hollow.
And we're always shipping.
I know right.

I'm hoping the game actually makes some money and we get a sequel detailing what went on in Book 3-4 or detailing more stuff between those two seasons. Playing as more than one character would be nice too. I wouldn't mind playing as Lin if they give her an Omega Red/Wolverine like move set.
Good job, Toph.
GTA V game as Korra, Lin and Tenzin/Kuvira would rule.
For what it's worth I don't think that is going to change in the season either. Kuvira is still the one making giant changes in the world, and if we're lucky maybe this time Korra will force a change for the better.
Or have babies with Asami.

That'd be great, then they can make a full retail TLA game set after the war and I'll be happy.

If if happens this better be a special move:
It will be the last fight of the game and it is only unlocked through DLC.

Nooope. Gotta be composed by Jeremy Zuckerman.
Ah.... wut? Korra's was left paralyzed. In fact, that's the whole point of these last few episodes, showing how Korra hates not being able to help the Earth Kingdom.
lol. you really don't like a lot of fans huh
seems like most of your posts are anger about how fans perceive Korra. Which I can get, I think fans have been pretty unfair to her. But I also think that in part, has to do with the writers doing a pretty bad job with the character. What I see is, Korra is a flawed show that hasn't always done the best job executing plot, and character development. Logically, it all makes sense and falls into place. A lot of the things people hated about Korra (a lot of the things they find frustrating about her), is actually explained by the actions of others or plot elements (so she isn't just a terrible person). But the way the story was told....you pretty much got a high dose of Korra being awful, and very little time with the stuff that actually explained why she's the way she is (often this was very quick exposition).
Also, while Korra is certainly not the worst Avatar ever (like some people act like), I would say the story plays out in a way where Korra has a lot more failures then Aang did. And even when she succeeds (like completing Harmonic Convergence) she pretty much stumbled across the finish line, and really only won with the help of Jinora. That said, there was no reason to be down on Korra in Book 3. She did nothing wrong. And I do not understand why anyone blamed her for how the finale played out. I would say, Book 3 Korra was pretty much spot on the entire season, and really can't be blamed for anything. And nothing she did was bad. So I don't get why people would be hard on her for any of that. My best guess I suppose, if these are people that have just come to dislike the character from Book 1 and 2...and so they are unable to look past that, and accept when Korra actually does good.
I think the writers did a pretty good job commenting on that (her low approval ratings lol, and the press thinking she's the worst thing ever). I find it kind of interesting, cuz during an interview in Book 2, the writers admitted that they hated Korra. They couldn't stand her. But they said they did that to highlight her redemption/change in the back half. But the way they transitioned her to changing, was so clunky/sloppy (she gets amnesia, remembers her origin....and suddenly her personality changes. Wat). I also think it's lazy, to make a character terrible/unlikable in high doses, just because you think it will make the redemption all that much more stronger. There are better ways of achieving that. So I can't help but feel the writers have shot themselves in the foot by how they have handled this character.
ALSO I don't care what any of you say, that scene with Korra pulling the judge out of the car and threatening to kill him was mad cringe. Korra da mafioso. Going to break ya legs.
I'm talking more about mid season, then end season. Before the walls are brought down Korra didn't make much of an attempt to even subdue or have attention brought to the Earth Kingdom,
Only after Zaheer messed everything up did anyone really remember the Earth queen and what she was doing.
Of course you can say they were more focused on recruiting Airbenders, but still.
I'm not really blaming Korra for anything, but the fact that she didn't bring a lot of change to the world is actually a really big vocal point for me. Outside of season 2 Korra herself has done very little to actually bring about change and what not.

I think the problem was that Korra didn't really know how to even fix that problem. She's not really supposed to depose political figures (granted it sounds like something Kyoshi would do) and she couldn't talk to Raiko in Republic City because she was banished. The only thing she really could do in that situation was free the air benders. The situation at Ba Sing Se changed only when Zaheer did his darkness monologue.
I don't like weird fan art, I don't like weird shipping talk, and I don't like when people blame characters for shit they didn't do, just because they were in the general vicinity. Korra didn't screw up and lose connection to her past lives, she had the avatar spirit literally ripped from her body and attacked. When Ba Sing Se fell, it's not that she didn't care, it's that she was captured and then stuck in the damn desert, and as soon as she got out she had to deal with Zaheer trying to mass murder all the airbenders. Then she was fucking paralyzed.
What did you want her to do before that? Start a fucking war with the Earth Queen and take over Ba Sing Se herself? She already went in and rescued all the airbenders, when really let's be honest, the Queen had the legal right to conscript her citizens.
There was still things she could have done, even if it showed them to fail it was still something. What about Omashu, or telling more people and what not. Just bringing it up to someone would have made it feel less passive.
Korra didn't really care about the political climate in the Earth Kingdom. She had no concern of the plight of the people. I mean, they never once showed her expressing that she needed to do something about Ba Sing Se and the people suffering. In fact, she was pretty adamant that her only goal was to get the air benders from out of the city, and that she would be on her way if she got that.
Basically, I'm not sure if that's really a negative? I mean...it would only be bad IMO, if Korra had said something to the effect that, she felt it was her responsibility to intervene in places where the people are suffering under their government. But she never said that anywhere in the series. I mean, at that point she was 100% focused on her next goal of bringing back the air nation. She had pretty much set that up, as her next big thing that would define her as the Avatar.
That goes back to the problem with the writing in itself and what not. Zaheer is an awful person, he brought change to the Earth Kingdom, probably for the better actually. The Earth Queen was someone that needed to be brought down, regardless of the way it was done.
