Hey, those chibi shorts from the original show were divine.
Good to hear the last book will be called Balance. If that rumor is true, I wonder how much of the other info is also spot on. I'm guessing most of it. Although, it's not like any the info really revealed much, if anything at all. Mostly common sense stuff.
Meh, I disliked Korra's personality in Book 1 and 2 as much as the next person. But it's not entirely fair to say she started a Civil War. She might have helped start it, but it was going to happen regardless. Unalaq would have done whatever he could have to push the civil war (even if she didn't open the portal).

I still think that January is the most likely release date for Book 4, but there has been no downtime between the conclusion of Book 3 and the start of the flow of information about Book 4, so I'm not ruling out a bizarro October/November premiere yet.
Worst case scenario would be them showing an episode at NYCC that doesn't become widely available until months later. This thread would be unreadable.

January makes sense too given Nick doesn't have plans to promote or schedule it like a regular show. So they'll probably release it as soon as it's done (and January is very feasible). I just don't see the point of sitting on the episodes.
Just finished watching Season 3 and wow, I would have never thought that Legend of Korra was so good after watching the first season. I started watching the second one a few days ago and watched this way faster than I had planned. The fighting scenes were gorgeous and it had some really good moments who resembled The Last Airbender a lot in terms of quality. By the way,
I always knew Jinorah looks a lot like Aang, but with those tattoos, I almost thought he was the one standing there

I still think for me, i feel that in context of the overall plot and what is logically supposed to be in the story itself, Korra is pretty likable. I just think the character suffers immensely from really poor execution. I just think if you step back and look at all the pieces, everything makes sense for the character. It's just the way it was told makes you really hate her. For instance, while I can't justify all of her outbursts and shitty attitude towards others, the explanation for why she's that way is there. And you could even feel sorry for her. But it's the way this was told. For example you only got the results of these background/set up plot (ie Korra being douchey). And even when they do set up some background for why she turned out that way, it's just presented casually by telling us rather than showing. Usually crummy exposition that it hamfisted into a conversation.
So it comes off like the writers trying to excuse her behavior rather than it being a legitimate background for the character. Poor decisions and missteps made by others for her, that shaped her.

Netflix style? I'd be all over that like white on rice.

That's probably the right thing to do, but I hate this release style for discussion's sake. I think I'd even be happier with a day delay between each.
On one hand it kills discussion, on the other I can just keep watching until the satisfying (hopefully) conclusion.
I'll take the latter any day, even if I will miss weekly discussions like this.
I wish. Nick has been so shit at this. $10 says they release it weekly w/ commercials on their site, like they did for the second half of Book 3.
House of cards says you're wrong.
Yeah, I mean if Korra had all the episodes up at once, there would be a flood of discussion after a lot of people watched it all front to back. I don't think it would take that long for people to finish at 13 episodes x 22 min. Sloppy math puts a season around 5 hours. I imagine after the first 3 days, you would have non stop discussions for a month. Would be insane. Too much info to dissect.
I actually prefer talking about things episode by episode though. Just feels like it's too much crap to talk about. But then again, people do fine with House of Cards. So *shrugs*.
House of Cards is a very intricate and complicated show where minor moments stand out.
With Korra, we'd be talking about the plot at large and it'd be more general discussions.
I agree that for this purpose, I'll take a weekly release schedule. Otherwise, the thread would die in a months time.

The issue with releasing it all at once is that it removes pretty much all speculative discussion (unless people deliberately go out of their way to only watch it in chunks). There's no zeitgeist that grows out of a plot line build up. Tenzin #teamdead/alive wouldn't have been a thing.
Really? The sum of my discussion of House of Cards with my friends was basically
Wow, so he's president now huh? And lol that threesome. Oh yeah and what's her face died.
Compare it to the amount of discussion people get/got out of shows like Game of Thrones or Breaking Bad and it's pretty slim in comparison.
It really is not. It gives that impression at first, but when you start to dig in, there is a whole lot of nothing there.
I disagree, but this isn't the place to discuss it. But I think we can both agree it's more intricate than LoK is, which is why discussions won't be as long here if we get it all at once.
Watched the whole season in one day yesterday. It's way better than book 2. Loved the whole new airbenders/nation thing. Zaheer was a sub par enemy. I still don't get what he would gain by killing the Avatar. Why didn't he try to kill all the leaders first? Even if the Avatar was still present than, Korra wouldn't be able to fix it all easily.
Also what's up with lava bending? It was never really mentiond before and only done by a few former Avatars (Roku/Kyoshi) and now suddenly everybody seems to know about it and they are not supprised when the see somebody doing it.

If she really wants to cement the cosplay, which looks wise she's doing amazingly, all she has to do now is to stand in the background of cons not doing anything and once in a while telling a korra cosplayer something with innuendo.
Lol. What's your handle on reddit?

I have never posted one Korrasami picture.
And a lot of things on reddit are worth seeing tbh so I post them here for people who don't use it.

Lol was just joking. I have no idea what your reddit username is. Just took a joke guess.
He didn't directly deny it.Lol was just joking. I have no idea what your reddit username is. Just took a joke guess.
It was just amusing to see the year old cosplay pic I posted to reddit today pop up here on gaf.

Name on reddit is the same as my name here. I don't actively post on the Avatar subreddit though, I just lurk.
Well that's disappointing. Was hoping for Korrasami4lyfe or AsamiDaGawdxx

isn't that satch
You know I would love it if they did some Chibi shorts for Korra like they did for avatar as they're pretty great School Time Shipping.
i think the dai lee grew to be corrupted during kyoshi's lifetime.
Well, it's hard to say for sure without knowing the historical background of the Earth Kingdom and the period of transition between the old King and his daughter (the Queen). But based on what we know, the Queen pretty much saw all of her fathers actions as weak. She saw the Earth Kingdom as weakened, and pretty much resented her father for giving in to Firelord Zuko and Aang's peace initiative after the war. Basically, she felt the kingdom lost a lot of power, money and land and got nothing in return, so she viewed her father as a fool.
Based on that train of thought, I don't think it's that far fetched to see her bring back the Dai Li. Knowing her, she probably thought her father was an idiot for getting rid of them. Or rather, she thought her father was just weak and didn't know how to use them. So she could have brought them back as her tool. And to be fair, she did use them to her advantage. Unlike her father who was basically a puppet, while the Dai Li was basically the real government controlling all the power, she actually was in control and used them effectively (for her purposes).
So I would say that is probably why the Dai Li was back. I doubt her father kept them around after their betrayal. So Imagine the Dai Li you see with the Earth Queen, probably wasn't the same Dai Li from Aang's time (I mean as an organization). Of course, that is just guessing based on not knowing the missing timeline in the story.
