I love me some kid Kuvira, she just looks like she grew up dirt poor.
Random thought, but since we're on the subject of ships:
I was just thinking about General Iroh's poor fleet and how the URN navy is 0 for 3 in LOK. They would have to rebuild their fleet and after seeing how devastating air power was when the Equalist bomber plans pummeled their battleships, they would probably invest in aircraft carriers. It matches up with the historical change in focus from battleships to carriers, but since the world of Avatar has waterbenders, they would actually be able to make Pykrete carriers feasible. Pykrete is basically just ice reinforced with sawdust to give it strength and insulate it, but the result a material that floats and is nearly as strong as concrete. The British toyed with the idea of making a carrier out of Pkykrete during WWII with Project Habakkuk, but it never came to fruition. With waterbenders though, it would be no problem for Water Tribe or URN to produce and maintain unsinkable carriers made of ice.
That is actually very cool! I'd love to see what other conceptual 'futures' the Avatar world could realize, the Giant Mech seemed so 'anime' and not in keeping with using bending in conjunction with technology.

Tenzin I got some bad news for you son.
Katara apparently left some things out of all the stories over the years. Looks like Bumi got the storytelling gene anyway.
Explain yourself.

I'm watching KLK again and the villains are hilarious. The reveal of Gamagoori being an S&M nut is hilarious.
If they had got a third season.
I'm sure they would have found a way to bring Wally back. This is the same show where Artemis "died" about three times or so from what I recall.

He's probably just in an alternate dimension or some shit.

I learned my lesson after Firefly. Never again lol
Get some Flashpoint in there and have Wally meet the alternate timeline heroes as he tries to find a way back. Now I'm sad again that CN canceled it. What could have been in that third season with Darkseid.

I'm salty about many things, but it's rarely over a cartoon. Dames on the other hand are a different story.
They should have him meet the Justice Lords.

To this day I still haven't watched the last episode of Young Justice because I know how salty I'd be. I still haven't gotten over Wolverine and the X-men getting cancelled on the Age of Apocalypse tease/cliffhanger.

The kind of shit benders could do with 20th/21st century technology is amazing.

True dat.
It's on Netflix.
Yeeeeeeaaaah, it's not too great even by my standards lol. I haven't watched Freezing Vibration(also on Netflix) to know if it gets any better, but...yeah, turn your brain all the way off lol.

Sounds worse than fucking KLK.
The second one will be coming sometime around next spring, and will apparently be about 40 min. in length.
I've been gone a week from posting, but have been lurking and reading everything.
About 30-40 pages ago someone asked if glass bending was possible.
To that I say yes* it should be quite possible.
Glass was traditionally made from fired sand, and other minerals/metals depending on the desired color or other qualities of the glass.
In ATLA Aang and King Bumi earthbend crystals which are somewhat similar on a molecular level in their organization to glass.
That said there are multiple types of "crystal" and glass, and most of the difference is in the composition and the arrangement of the molecules.
Getting too deep into "the science" of bending seems like a lost cause if only because it starts to break science and put forth weird questions of to what extent does earthbending go at a fundamental level.

Did you recommend that about 10 or fifteen pages ago?
Either way it's an excellent OVA and I'm hyped beyond belief for part 2 whenever it's done (since it got kickstarted)
For those who don't know (and it might be fanboy hyperbole on my part) but Little Witch Academia has more character development in 26 minutes than some series have in 26 episodes.
ITS THAT GOOD.

41 seconds into Freezing and I already have a face full of ass.
Now I gotta check this out.

There's not even any plot set up yet. Just endless fanservice and blood. I don't even know what the fuck is going on in this show.
Is that related to Axe Cop?
JadedWriter

Googled....what the fuck did I just watch?
The story of a man who returned from hell as a messenger of justice to avenge the death of his family by the hands of the evil Southern Cross gang, all while defending the citizens of Jack Knife Edge Town from the things that go bump in the night. Little does Inferno Cop know, everyone is out to get his head.
Truly a story of the ages.
*googles Inferno Cop*.........*watches Youtube clip*.........
..............
Dafuq are you guys watching?
