But those shows maybe cost less, too. The question is how much does Korra actually net Nick.
Maybe reaction. This guy is surely often in a fight, but not against people who can fly. Knocking one of their feet is pretty effective usually.
he was already in the motion of attacking when meelo started to jump.
have you seen the abject garbage that appears directly before korra? it looks like it was filmed with an old iphone and the writing and acting is fucking awful. it's not even a laugh track/studio audience show. i was mystified that 20 years ago there was the secret world of alex mack and now there's whatever the hell that was.
i only watch a good two minutes of it though each time so maybe i'm being a tad harsh. i don't normally go into 'in my day' when it comes to nickelodeon because i know i used to watch and enjoy a lot of crap, but good fucking god, just from a productions value standpoint it looks terrible. that movie they kept advertising does too.
You got to remember, even when The Last Airbender was doing amazing in viewers the network was still screwing things up as much as possible. Some people were even wondering if it was deliberate in those days as it appeared that the channel was shitting all over it's schedule as much as possible.
So basically, do damn exception and get screwed. Do so so and get screwed.

He started his attack, then Meelo was in the air before he finished the movement to bring up the spikes
also he is a totally crappy earthbender, looks like
lol
I think the writers need to stop telling us how awesome Jinora is and and start showing. Same with Tenzin actually.
At the this stage, both Ikki and Meelo seem to be a lot more impressive and in line with the sort of mastery we saw from Aang.
Astral Projection stuff is something completely new, that she randomly obtained without it really being explained. So I don't see why that is being used as proof. And as far as everything else, while I agree fighting doesn't = master air bending, we haven't been shown anything else to indicate she is ready for the Tattoos.
That said, if you choose to believe she is, then Tenzin is just being a stubborn fool again. So either way you look at this, it's not a very good plot point (someone looks bad here).
Edit: to be clear I really liked episode 6 and thought 7 was fine. I didn't hate anything, just some small complaints (and most of these complaints stem from larger issues I had ). Episode 7s ending was really incredible. And the Tenzin stuff isn't bad in terms of the episode. I just have bigger issues with him that made aspects of this episode not as enjoyable for me personally.
Thing is, to me...the heart of the episode should have been about these new airbenders having to come to terms with who they are now. The struggle of becoming something new, and finding those bonds with others like you (ie. the beginning of a new people/community). And that's why the ending worked so well. It was amazing and uplifting (and the fighting was just bad ass). But what made the scene so great was seeing Bumi and everyone charge to help out their fellow air benders.
Instead the episode was all about Tenzin and his issues and hang ups. And I get it. Like I said, I understand that Tenzin has a lot of responsibility put on him. I get that he's stubborn and so badly wants to preserve his peoples way of life and culture. I have no issue with Tenzin having those struggles. But I just feel like, the episode kind of focused too much on it. And also, Tenzin's arc in general has been pretty frustrating (they have made him way too incompetent on top of being stubborn and foolish). I'm not so sure we needed an episode dedicated to it (or it could have been eased up. So instead of taking Bumi's advice and being a hard ass, he actually opened up and started listening to his acolytes and trying to find a better way to reach them.) He just needs more heart and a little more balance.
Because as of now, I really don't even know if I even like Tenzin. And this is someone I really liked in Book 1. But I mean, the guy is often stubborn, foolish, angry, and pretty incompetent even as an air bender (we are told he's a master, but we don't ever see him do much with it). So I'm not even really sure what I'm supposed to hold on to with him anymore. I guess...he can give some pretty good heart to heart moments every once in a while. *shrugs*

The biggest issue with tenzin is
He is a bad fighter.
He is stubborn and acts stupid
He was supposed to be guiding korra and he sucks at that too.
He was supposed to be spritual yet he cant even connect to spirits
Just like you i was looking forward to Tenzin when he was introduced in book one as son of aang and and spiritual guide yet here he is most useless chracter of team korra
Yep, pretty much summed up without the wordy rant.
I didn't need Tenzin to be like this mary sue/perfect character. But Korra's writers seem to think like, EVERYTHING and EVERYONE should be deeply flawed and have those flaws constantly dog them. I don't think that sort of thing works (especially when characters keep taking steps back and don't learn from the past). It starts to become grating.
To be fair, I haven't really had any issues with this in Book 3, as I think they've done a much better job with most of the characters. Korra is still..kind of a bad Avatar. But they've found a happy medium for her. And even Tenzin wasn't ridiculous until this episode. Although I AM kind of getting worried that Korra and Asami are sort of drifting to the back. Korra hasn't really had a lot to do, and even when she is in episodes, she's just kind of there. Granted, it's much better than her being an asshole and dominating every scene she's in.
Asami..damn I really wanted them to find something for her. She was used really well in the first couple of episodes. =/ I was hoping they would do more with her + Korra as friends, since I think that stuff works really well and brings out things in each character that was lacking.
This season need more Meelo
episode 7 was "meh", the best was Meelo an this Guy
LOL
That guy reminds me of Luigi for some reason.
Well as the (previously) only airbender of the family I think that Tenzin felt a need to be the embodiment of the airbending culture after Aang passed which probably caused him to try and carry more of a workload than his abilities were capable of handling. So his status is more of an obligation position rather than one that he actually earned. He's not the best Airbender but he's the only one with enough experience to obtain the master rank so he does the best that he can.

I wish we got to see more of Meelo the Commander.
I need some Hartmann impression.

Yeah that's my question. Maybe it costs too much compared to other shows and dvd/blu ray sales aren't justifying?
Korra should make enough money in ratings, merchandise, and DVD/Bluray sales to nearly rival the entirety of the rest of Nick's current franchises (excluding the titan, Spongebob), especially since Sam and Cat got cancelled.
Nick doesn't care about any show on their network except Spongebob.
i'm actually fine with tenzin being who he is. i think the guy may be one of the more normal people in the show. here's someone who was raised by the last airbender, and the only airbending offspring of the last airbender, who takes it on himself to save a culture he never knew directly or really understood. although not sheltered, he didn't have a normal childhood, and never learned how to socialize with others properly.
but i do agree about the complaints of the episode. we already knew all this about the guy, so it wasn't necessary to repeat it for the second time.

Seriously though what are these cats actually about? I mean we know they kidnapped Korra when she was a tyke but now what do they want? What's convergence mean now? They're tracking the avatar but why? Does Zaheer think he can influence the avatar cycle? Does he even know all that crazy shit with Raava and will it affect his plans if he learns? What's the deal with the others?
Its fine that he is relatively weak, like I said many times power isn't everything, but he lacks a bit of redeemings skills to move the plot forward. He can't fight as well as the others, he can't teach, he lacks empathy; all he has is knowlegde and that didn't come in very handy yet. We all know he is nice and all but he sotry didn't treat him nice so far.
It was more about the air acolytes and Jinora, though.
But an episode further establishing the Goon Squad would be dope. And much appreciated.
I figured that Tenzin might in the end realize that rebuilding the air nation meant that he didn't necessary have to follow the old ways and traditions. Yes he could keep them but also make something new as well to fit in with the new world.
It would certainly attract more converts.

I hope he realizes that nations don't work that way and let the trained air benders back into the world.
I hope the end of this arc is just these fools getting rekt. And they are like " WTF " and then she is like " ... I'm the fucking avatar . Eat shit, I fought against the end of the world last season, you are mere men "
Amon could have done with a filler/background episode (or an episode based on the struggle and plight of the common person. So that it gave more depth to the equalist movement). So I kind of agree getting more about Zaheer would be nice. I have a terrible feeling they will take the same path as Amon, and cram in a bunch of exposition in the last two episodes, and we'll never get a good understanding or reason why he was driven to do what he was doing.
This all goes back to the shitty self contained season format. If only the air bending plot could be a huge thing going into Book 3 and 4, and Zaheer and them could be the final end game villains (with a really really cool story built up). But nope.
i'd die laughing.
lol. Well, it's not like they actually cared about the problems of the city. Really, the equalist movement was just a cool outlet for Amon. The writers didn't actually care about the social problems between benders and non-benders.
So why not have an entire episode be about the Lieutenant.
Too bad Zaheer is a better air bender than Aang, Tenzin and any other air bender in the history of everyone. Studying and doing well in school really pays off, kids.
Man, I would LOVE this. Korra singlehandedly schooling these dude while plot happens with the other characters would be a great finale.
I feel like Korra doesn't really have a good sense of "scope of things" within the world. Meaning, I think regardless of how strong someone is supposed to be, they will pretty much get their ass kicked if the fight calls for it. I've yet to see a major fight in this show, where someone just messed someone up. I guess that's typical in any kind of story (ie. conflict and a fight that feels hopeless). Problem is, this is a world where some people should be better than others. Where the Avatar should be able to wreck people (even if she's not as strong as she could be).
But meh. I would totally love that kind of ending too (I mean at this point, Korra really needs that kind of thing). But I expect her to get her ass kicked the way Tenzin gets his ass kicked. No one is ever as good as the villains. Plus that Psybomb bitch is fuckin OP as hell. Basically can shoot mini nuke explosions out her damn head. I always hated that guy in ATLA too.

I can't believe they wasted Lance Henriksen on that no name guy
This did happen in the finale of S1. But we all saw how quickly that got fixed lol
Even though Nick is trying desperately to strangle Korra in its crib I have a dream scenario where they double back, remake the entire thing, spread the Amon arc out over two seasons, then maybe rework the story in such a way as to get these guys free and then end with Harmonic Convergence.
It'll never happen tho
It'll never happen tho
But then she will be like " i can literally turn into a big blue kaju and wreck your shit, I can stomp your shit in the ground, like right now. Like right now, do you see your shit , it will be stomped . I don't have to , I could just whip ya ass with my magical deux ex machine glowy bullshit, but lets drive the point home "
she has to go sit in that tree
and then she has to have people protect her while shes in the tree
p'li alone can blow them all up
They can write it in, just let them do it.
Let korra stomp these human's shit. See this is this series problem, all and had to do was fight and evil overlord. But when korra starts doing end of the world KH Bleach the world that never was bullshit. Where the hell do you go from there, space? Are we going back to space?
Is season 4 gurren laggan? Do we get a korra mech
Also serious legitimate question.
Has anyone ever thought , to blind the mind lazer people? At all ... ever?
