Pema can't control a Steelix:
Or do this:
Pema also won't crush you with that Steelix and isn't forever frowning due to her shitty family.
Lin is badass, but not someone you would want to be in a relationship with.

Yeah so true. Lin had so much shit she needed to work through. She's fine now...when the show is done. Maybe Tenzin just got tired of the endless cynicism and complaints and that huge chip on Lin's shoulder. Even in the Old Wounds flashback she was crabby as fuck, "Who are these losers?"

I guarantee Lin wouldn't even be fun in bed. Sure, she could get into the "Mature" category, but damn would she be boring.
Zero kinks, all business.
Pretty much...

See, Pema is super cute, Lin would probably just glare at people until they feel weird and leave.

"You. Drop your pants. Now. You got 15 minutes. Make it quick. I don't feel anything."

And that's why Tenzin went with Pema. Plus, Pema's way cuter anyways. She got that classic MILF look. Can't fake that. Gotta be all natural.
So what are we talking about?

Lin probably just resorted to doing it herself any how. "What do you mean you're doing your best? The flamio are you doing down there? I'll do it myself."

You probably aren't wrong.
I mean, there have been like 5 Arrowverse threads this past week. The fact he didn't pop his head in any of them is concerning

When I started to come out of those threads without somehow feeling like shit for liking those shows, that's when I realized something was missing.

They are airing the finale on TV? Nick or Nicktoons?

Toa will probably like this:
Veelk will be back with a vengeance, just you wait.

I don't "hate" her. She's just quirky. Lin was horrible wife material and Tenzin probably just stopped trying to help her with it because it would've been a full time job for him.All this Pema hate.

If that's his field it explains his info dumps. Hope he interned somewhere.

Indeed. His dissertation on head canon was epic.
It will go down in history as the most legendary series of posts that most people skimmed over because tl;dr

That one was making me hungry with its talk on eggs benedict.

It would probably be it's own thread.
I thought Veelk was pretty cool since he was the only one who was willing to discuss the series in depth.
To bad he didn't realize the series itself had the emotional and mental depth of a kiddy pool an probably wasn't really worth analyzing more than a few minutes before you shut off your brain and just enjoy what you're looking at and not thinking too hard about it.

this entire post is terrible.
Not saying it's a bad series at all, it just rarely uses the scenarios it set up past the action it presents. That all it does, it doesn't delve into it too much, and I'm not saying that is even a bad thing.
Legit, there are plenty of series that I can turn off my brain for and enjoy. Even unironicly, not everything needs to be Neon Genesis deep or even ATLA deep. Hell one of my favorite series is JoJo which outside a few moments is pretty much just a dumb action series.
Hell, my main problem with Korra is the fact that the series is very indecisive on what it wants to be?

Even Jojo takes it's dumb action pretty seriously. A guy rarely wins out of dumb luck minus Joseph at the end of Part 2. Trey just isn't much of an anime fan. He likes it but will always hold ATLA and Korra. To a higher standard
Which is fine, ATLA is amazing to me, but Korra is a series, while I enjoyed it, probably should be watched at Facevalue.
Also, JoJo plays the fights smart, they always do, it's more about the context of the story and scenarios. You're supposed to be having fun while watching JoJo, outside a few select tense moments.

Part 2 is so fun. Part 3 less so, but they squeeze it in pretty well. Kakyoin and Polnareff balance out Jotaro really well.
True..
Saying a series lack emotional depth isn't bad at all.
I think the Original Dragon Ball is an amazing series with fun characters an amazing world and a story line that gets better and better until the very end (And before Z) I would rate it far above a lot of anime I've seen and even above ATLA. That doesn't mean I don't know it's a pretty simple plot most of the time.
I think most people go into Korra Expecting the same level of character development that ATLA had among other things, not realizing that Korra is a very different series.
Your Korra nitpick was the least objectionable part of that post to me.
There's been so many great posts on Korra's faults that came from this community. Off the top of my head, Satch's posts about how toxic mako was to Korra and Asami and how Asami wasn't a well written female character greatly informed me and deepened my understanding of the construction of this show. Azula has probably written a novel by now about the various things he likes and dislikes about the show. It's not only Veelk who takes a critical stance, and to think as much does a disservice to many great posts about the show.
Further, Veelk understands what kind of depth this show has, and posts in spite of any notion that there's not much to say. Because there is plenty, plenty to be said about the Legend of Korra, for better or for worse.
Fair enough. I can just imagine how stressful that Lin/Tenzin relationship got near the end of it.
This one right?
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=123407705&postcount=5966
Of course my Post was a bit Hyperbole, I know Azula had quite the few amazing post, it's more the idea that people are attacking those who point out those flaws or have problems with the series. Which goes back to the fact people legit do not want to think or talk about the series on here outside of praise.
Though it might be my irritation at the lack of activity on here, there is a lot to say about the series. But honesty, at least for me, the series outside the flaws it presents doesn't actually give a lot to talk about in terms of its narration.
It's a fun action series, with huge writing pitfalls outside of Season 3. Mostly because it tries to tackle issues far too big for it.
How Legend of Korra change animation and action cartoons, among other things, sure. But I don't it really made us question a lot of situations on what is right or wrong, mostly because if failed to bring up those prospects.
Excellent.

He was in the DMC4SE thread on gaming for a bit.
But he did realize it though and complained somewhat because its predecessor did those things better.
Regardless he still gave it a fair shake by finding stuff to talk about regardless of how little there was.

So... my roommate was in my room playing some old DOS games on my PC, which is hooked up to my television. I had it already set it up for him so he just came in and started playing.
He gets done and closes it out, my dumb ass forgot to close out tumblr so the first thing he sees is a picture of Kuvira in a compromising position... oh my fucking god

Kids, this is why you don't let anyone else use your computer. Too much baggage of many varieties.
