Amon, Tarrlok. Niggas was using firebending as rocket propulsion. Mind explosions. It's nice to see more novel applications of bending, though.

Lol touché
They were doing that shit in Aang's time. The only really advanced bending in a hundred years was metal bending.
I don't think they're insecure just a little misguided. To be fair the tweet in question was tongue and cheek anyway. Personally the only Thicke I knew was Alan, a Canadian born and raised actor who turned out to be Robin Thicke's dad. So saying he has "RnB is in his blood" is a stretch but he does seem genuine about the music he writes and has been writing rnb for years apparently.
Idk rock/lava bending is new. Previously it was only done by fire benders iirc.

Spiderman wears a suit that hide his true identity.
And when he was framed and had a KOS on him. He didn't up and leave, he still stayed to help those that could not help themselves.

God damn you're dense.
Bitch, I am a singularity with no event horizon
it takes a high level of mastery & giftedness to do the advanced applications of bending.
ex: Toph taking earthbending to another level.
Azula w/ the blue flames & lightning bending vs Zuko's standard firebending.
This thread can be harsh at times.
Like when you broke the game for Angleus.
Nah there are dudes that put me to shame.

Wasn't that Toph? Toph was the shit, Her character served as a nice counter balance to Aang at the time I think. I don't know if she is still alive, but if she is I hope she shows up while they are in the earth kingdom.
edit: I also miss the silly humor. Maybe it's because the cast is older compared to the original group, but miss shit like Aang trying to make water circle thing he did seem awesome. Bolin can only get you so far and most of the humor from Korra stems from frustration if I remember right.
No that wasn't Toph imo. Toph had a "big sister" personality and she was more so a counter to Kotarra than she was to aang. Kotarra was a girly girl but Toph wasn't. they both had different teaching styles with aang. Toph was harder on him and Kotarra was a lot more easy going. Toph wasn't unreasonably obstinate and 2D like how I feel Korra is for the majority of season 2. iirc the creator of the show said Korra was inspired by Avatar Kiyoshi and the fandom's love for that character.

Dam Ubisoft needs to cool it with the PR for like 2 weeks and wait for some other publisher to piss ppl off since this new Farcry stuff today
Wait what? But she's known she was the avatar for as long as she can remember. It became almost her entire identity unlike other avatars who find out during adolescence (usually around Korra's current age actually). I think a main difference between her and Aang is they've had almost opposite reactions to the same problem -- becoming the avatar before they're ready.
Hm?
eh? details.
Fucking BINGO.
Robin Thicke is singing about a consensual and very common type of socializing that happens in the club. ANYBODY who has ever actually gone out to a club, looked good, and had some drinks with a person and you KNOW the mutual chemistry is hot? Shit can get a little nasty. I mean like leaning in whispering in your ear, "So, you know I'mma beat it up tonight, right?" and you respond with, "Oh? you gonna do what now?" while sneaking a hand down to his crotch ("The way you grab me, must wanna get nasty.") Yeah, shit can get nasty like up in the club. It's common. And that's what Blurred Lines is about.
I don't want it to seem like I'm disparaging anyone who's been uncomfortably approached in the club, or potentially date raped or anything like that, but it gets to a point that you have to realize that that's what you're projecting onto the song. The "what if she doesn't actually want it?" and "he's perpetuating no means yes" is what you're bringing to the song. That's not what the song is about.

Azula was the most gangsta character in Avatar.
Roku could've been the best if he realized Sozin was approaching "ain't shit territory" and handled him.
Instead he ignored him and let him still work on his plans for conquest.
Roku is a bad Avatar.

He did handle him, which is why Sozin knocked that shit off after he get sonned by Roku. I'll concede that Roku should've acted sooner, but they were buds for most of their lives so I can understand why Roku hesitated.
EDIT: I still laugh at how their "fight" ended with Roku doing two moves. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtAbA0Umh7g
Azula was Avatar. She was a better villain, she made season 2 what it was and she would have honestly been a better end game then Ozai. Obviously she wasn't going to be but still.

Ah, I see. I didn't realize that Avatar Kiyoshi had a following.
Did the creator take input for the original series from the fans? I can see too much outside influence just fucking it up.
bron bron got wade and bosh to opt out of the best possible money they're ever gonna get and then demands the max?
lol
A lot of the fan service in the original series but that's all I know.
By all accounts Yangchen was a ruthless badass and no one started shit during her Avatar run because she would crush them immediately.
She was an airbender.

I thought she was an earthbender.
bad song. should have never been made. not his intended meaning, but an interpreted one. No it isn't his fault, but as a "good guy" he could address it. So far all I've seen is minor controversy anyway, so it's part of the game.
And the interpretations are subjective, yeah. But that external influences around sex and the line between coercion and seduction could be seen as fairly objective.
