I give Katara a lot of credit, the season finale when she decided to become the Iceman was brilliant. Aang Ozai battle was the most flashy but she had the best move out of anyone.
Katara was the one who trained Korra in waterbending right? So she got to train two Avatars.
The animation in this franchise is really fantastic. It almost looks like cel animation.

I actually toyed with the idea of subbing Korra into Japanese. If I had more time these days, I'd do it. Just 'cause.

is the promise the only comic series that takes place after the first series? or are there any others? were there ever an official avatar artbook?
i got a B&N gift card so i thought i may as well spend it on avatar since i cant think of anything else to buy

Physics in Avatar are so fucked. We have people leaping impossibly far distances without any aid from bending. Unless everyone in the series has really really strong legs.

sweeet. bought!
i originally thought about waiting until the entire trilogy came out but i need something to hold me over until the next korra episode. im weak
The episode where Aang escapes from the ship, and Juko jumps after him. He flew like 30 feet or something just by jumping.
Fire bender boost like a rocket. Airbender is self explainable. Earthbenders can get a lift off. I have nothing for waterbenders.
Nonbenders can squat 1000lbs.
Can't waterbender create large waves?

Except firebenders have lept impossible distances without using any fire.

They drink milk and do daily squats.
I see no problem here.

No amount of note-taking could put Sokka on the level of Iroh.

unless its character development.
Oh and I just saw The Blind Bandit on my TLA rewatch-aton. Probably one of my favourite episodes. It was a perfect introduction for Toph and has so many great charaters because of the wrestling setting.
But the best thing? The animation during the Toph bending scenes especially when she goes 1 on 6 in the end. So awesome and badass.
"The Boulder puts the hurt in the dirt!"

We need aetherbenders. Energybenders?

Sokka basically ignored Toph too, another area where Iroh wins!
You did watch the finale, didn't you?

The funny thing is that Toph probably couldn't even beat an average air nomad child. Airscooter = she can't possibly see you.
It's why I said it.
Toph should probably be able to sense vibrations through the air like she does vibrations through the ground. They both transfer energy mechanically. Just gotta train the rest of her skin to be as receptive as the soles of her feet, then she will truly be the greatest.
Could they attack like that though? It certainly would be an interesting fight. But her first episode gave of the impression that if you touch the ground, Toph can and will get you.

They could drop and tackle her from above.
There is always bullshit you can come up with to counter this however. I really wish people wouldn't take bending fights 100% seriously since a 12 year old can easily beat an adult, the lol animation cliches of nearly unlimited stamina and power that shifts throughout the series and the simple fact you never know what is going through a person's head during the fight.
As long as the fights are entertaining then I could care less about these oversights.
CornBurrito
Member
I don't care much either. I just find it funny.
I don't know if they can attack while maintaining the air scooter.
Ultimadrago

So a child playing jump rope can defeat Toph? ......check yoself something wreck yoself!
CornBurrito
Member
Toph can probably figure out where someone will land based on direction/force of the jump. Just with experience and such.
But airbending/firebending will fuck that timing up.

Ugh! Stop saying that. It´s not true. Rocks can be thrown at jumping people you know. Besides Toph and other earth benders can hide underground and wait for the right moment to strike.
Parallax
best seen in the classic "Shadow of the Beast"
is there a limit to the attacks a bender can use at once? because that would cut out quite a few attack combinations.
CornBurrito
Member
No idea.
We have seen Avatar level benders using 4 elemental attacks at the same time though.
I think they spent a lot of money on the finale.

One of the best artbooks I own, especially the beginning about how TLA was born.
Did they ever mention that random Ryu character that appeared in the episode where Zuko tries to find Katara by her necklace scent?
Sorry, nope :<
One of the best things in it is the elaborations on caligraphy, especially as in what the posters mean.

LOL
I guess. I couldn't really form an opinion, since they didn't really show anything. It's fiction, but I imagine an old man like Bumi could be outlasted if all other things are equal.

Just finished air bender. Sniff that was great. I was skeptical about this show when I first saw it, but it really opened my eyes. America can make a great Anime like show.
don't wanna watch Korra yet I want relish air bender.
Netflix is now recommeding me to watch the Live Action movie

I know you probably already know not to watch it, but please for the love of god don't watch it. No one deserves that fate.
