Bolin was the one that got all friendly with Ghazan and had some banter/respect for him during their final fight. He never considered Ghazan unlikable. And I mean look, he even based his lava bending off the only other guy who did it

 

[Mariolee]

Speaking of Ghazan, where is the Red Lotus this season? I thought since Zaheer survived they'd build off that story more.

Well I'm pretty sure he watched him fight enough times to figure it out. Bolin is dumb, but he most likely is pretty observant and probably practiced a lot over the years. I'm glad he picked it up, he's a wrecking crew.

Yea, I noticed that Bolin had this weird admiration for Ghazan last season. Or at least it was mutual feelings between them.

He definitely is taking a few moves from him tho

Su is a pretty grating character too. The metal bending city people are just annoying in general. I blame toph. Toph can always be blamed for everything.

Su can eat it.

The only other metalbenders that are worth a damn are Skrillex and Toph.

I'm going to guess "KAIJU KORRA IS GREAT!" lol.

That's considered "Season 2 finale", come on, bro.

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH

the artistic son is awesome. Everybody else blows though. Opal was ok last season but this season she's all "ugh angst"

Which now reminds me my friend's name for Aang during his whiny episodes. Aangst.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

I loved Korra's reactions to Wu. Everyone else was semi-respectful when they rejected him, but Korra just straight up put him on blast.

Korra's initial reaction to himwas "who the fuck is this guy?"

He respects and was inspired by the lava bending. Ghazan is a real homie though, unlike kuruk.

Yes. She's the Avatar and he has to deal with it.

Korra never did have any tact. Kuvira just looked at him. we all know she would've bent a giant hole in the middle of the ground and dropped him into it but she never said anything.

Yeah, after Bolin wrecks face with the Krew, and they're like, "Damn Bolin, when'd you get good?" He's gotta give a shout out to Ghazan for awakening his inner badass.

 

[Mononoke]

.

lol. I kind of liked that they alluded to Wu having more to him in the last episode with him in it. I figured they were going to have a redemption plot. That once he got his ass knocked down and some sense slapped into him, he would stop being selfish and grow up.

But nope. This episode had him go full out with his crazy behavior.

And then they just put him with the family.

Bolin is finally more useful than Mako in fights. Mako doesn't ever use lightning bending. And it's fairly common nowadays among skilled firebenders. But since nobody is going for the kill.

Bolin was always more useful than Mako, what with his sniper rocks. Mako is like your default firebender who doesn't even have the balls to use lightning properly.

could you imagine going to work at your stressful CEO gig and then coming home to Grandma Yin, Bo and Mako's entire displaced family, and now Wu, who will probably try to sleep with you in your bed?

she has an apartment in the city she uses during the week

 

[Crocodile]

I liked some parts of the latest episode but WHY THE FUCK is Kuvira Hitler now? Where did that come from ? I mean I get that she kind of has been twirling a taped on mustache for a bit now but I never understood that either. A villain doesn't have to eat babies to be a good villain (though there certainly are baby-eaters who are good villains). It feels like they were trying to write a villain with some complexity but then chickened out halfway through the season. It's a real bummer :/

 

[wildfire]

I don't really mind her fighting. But lol her taking out entire armies. Her being the one to take out Kuvira (she won't). But anything where Toph has a major role in the main plot, I kind of have to roll my eyes at it. As I said earlier, I think she had her in time in ATLA. It's time for the Korra characters to step up and take their time in the spotlight. I just kind of find the idea of more Toph stuff to be a bit cringe/forced, because it would comes off as fan pleasing moments just to please.

I like Toph as much as the next person, but lol Just my thoughts on it. I guess I'm just weary of fan service in general. And I've overall liked how they used Toph so far. Hopefully they don't get carried away. And yeah, I kind of wish we would learn the fathers of Lin and Su. They have put too much attention on it, not to give us a hint..or tell us. Even if it's done as a joke (toph using it as a punchline or throwaway line). Just anything.

I seriously doubt Toph isn't better than King Bumi and he could wreck people with just a chin wag.

Toph vs Amon. Who wins?

 

[Deleted member 231381]

Toph vs Amon. Who wins?

Amon. Moon-less blood-bending is cheating, straight up 100% cheating. Amon can win basically any single match-up except an Avatar in full Avatar State.

 

[wildfire]

Toph vs Amon. Who wins?

Before background reveal Amon.
After background reveal Toph. Amon got sloppy.

 

[SykoTech]

Meh, wasn't really feeling that one. As usual, Asami seems to exist just to drive a vehicle and take down one fodder enemy, Mako bores me whenever he's on screen, and Korra is just...there. It feels like these characters are going absolute nowhere, which is disappointing given how the timeskip and season started. Also disappointed in how things are going with Kuvira. Purging the Earth Kingdom to return it to the way it was before the 100 Year War is a movement that should have been fleshed out way more than the way it's being handled.

Looking forward to a heap a fanservice next episode though. But at least it should be good fanservice. Unlike Katara, Iroh, and Zuko, Toph seems to have gotten a relevant role instead of just showing up for the sake of it.

 

[Xpike]

Toph vs Amon. Who wins?

This already happened with Toph v. Amon's dad, I'd say Toph still loses.

She's been "Mien Kampf"-ing for awhile now.

 

[Santerestil]

Her smug is magnificent. Thanks!

 

[Veelk]

Toph wasn't all spiritually awakened then.

I mean, she can see across the fucking world now. Chances are she stomps her foot on the swamp, locates amon, and throws rocks at him from there

 

[Principate]

Actually if you develop your villain characters instead of just making them "muhahaha" evil then it's not that hard to fill in some extra episodes. There's loads they could do with Kuvira, but they aren't doing it. The same could be said with last seasons villains.

That's independent on length in this context which is point. You could do that just fine in the 13 episodes we have (it's not as if Korra's group really needs all that much focus as we enter the 4th season), they chose not to go that path which is why more episodes really wouldn't help if we work under the assumption they would be of the same quality as what we currently have..

Next episode Toph gonna be taking more dives than Supes in Justice League

 

[Hollycat]

Thank you friend! I steal!

Edit: Either toph is going to wreck kuvira next week and get beaten by sheer numbers, or the writers are gonna pull crap and make kuvira more powerful than toph. Either way, toph battle coming soon!

Edit Edit: comon korrasami, you can do it!

 

[m_shortpants]

OMG

Spoiler

AMON LIVES!!! LOL, can't believe they got steve Blum to do another voice haha.

 

[Satch]

That's the hill you decided to die on.

i love her and her shitty life experiences and her efforts to get women into engineering. cant help it.

 

[m_shortpants]

She does go on quite a bit about Su not stepping up. There is something grating about Kuvira's monotone voice when she goes off on her rants about people not doing things or something. lol

Yeah Zelda Williams is really monotone with Kuvira, it's kind of annoying.

.

Is polygamy cool in Avatar verse? Let's just go with with Makorrasami.

That's true as well. We really don't need more of Korra's crew. I would prefer a lot less on them and more on different characters but they have too many characters too. In all honesty they really should've figured out what they want to do with Kuvira from the beginning. We gets shades of an actual personality but i want more than shades.

Nice episode again.

 

[coolasj19]

Did I just change my avatar for the first time for any of my internet accounts ever? Yes I did. Thanks Azula! I just have to be able to stare at this at will.
Will probably change it back in a week or so. Or a month. Or when the show ends. Who knows?

[Sadist]

Made a bunch of new avatars from this episode. If no one uses them, that's totally fine. I'm just making them for fun and saving them in a folder. That said, here they are:

You know, I think the best change this season is Korra's short hair. I don't know, it compliments her character design for the better.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

I'll never change my avatar. Unless I find a new dog with a top hat and a monocle even cooler than this one.

 

[Hamlet]

Toph vs Amon. Who wins?

Amon if he attacks first as bloodbending has already proven to be quite effective against Toph before.

So what was Toa Tak's shtick before the godawful S2 finale and Kuvira?

Heh Toa only started watching LOK halfway through Book 3. Plus the Book 2 finale isn't completely awful. It gave us some of the best music in the series to date.

Speaking of Ghazan, where is the Red Lotus this season? I thought since Zaheer survived they'd build off that story more.

The theory is right now that korra will go and meet Zaheer in some White Lotus prison sometime pretty soon. As for the rest of Red Lotus no idea maybe they're intimidated by Kuvira or something.

Review roundup for the latest episode.

Of all the Book Four episodes released thus far, “The Reunion” feels the most like a traditional episode of The Legend Of Korra, and that’s what this show really needs at this point. It reestablishes the personal relationships at the heart of the series, and also gives the cast the opportunity to show off their fighting skills, although I’d still like for there to be more excitement in this season’s action sequences. But after spending considerable time on Korra’s PTSD and Kuvira’s expansion of the Earth Empire, it’s comforting to slip into a story that, as Asami says, feels like old times.

AV Club

So far, Book Four has been a pretty entertaining ride filled with great character moments and exciting set pieces. In fact, "Korra Alone" might even be my favorite Korra episode to date. That said, we're now over halfway through the final season and it still hasn't quite hit its stride in terms of painting a larger picture. We sort of knew that Book Four would be more of a postscript to Book Three and less of its own adventure (à la Books One and Two). But as standalone episodes go, this week's "Reunion" was about as filler-y as they come for the show. That's not to say filler is necessarily a bad thing, but considering we only have six episodes left in the series, this week's installment felt like it could have done more than it did.

IGN

After a heated encounter that sent Team Avatar racing along the streets of Republic City and warding off Earthbender gestapo atop a speeding train, Asami says what’s on all of our minds: “It was kind of like old times.”
Man, it really was.
