During the airing of book 4 I was the one that wanted Kuvira to knock Suyin clear through a fucking wall and I had two rather long discussions with BKatastrophe over the whole thing.Nice to see people are starting to join my "Su is to blame for everything" club. It's been very lonely
"When swag levels are depleted kill in a boating accident."Amon at his best. Such a shame with what they ended up doing with him.
Kuvira is her own stability update. More stable than PSN.Closes enough?
Pretty nifty design to have in the mecha.
Edit: Aight, this is getting a tad silly.
I'm gonna have to rewatch because I didn't make that connection the first time I watched it.
I actually preferred the Republic City setting too, it was new, unlike the rehashed areas like the Earth Kingdom.
Book 1 is still one of the worst seasons though
Most of the season is fine I think except for maybe the ending of it. I still like season 3 the most. The action and pacing of season 3 was just better executed than the other seasons.
Ozai was essentially just Skeletor. Kuvira at least had the decent frame work for a proper human villain, they just never paid enough attention to her human elements.
If Tenzin broke out that Marvel vs Capcom 2 combo he would've wrecked the Red Lotus...minus spawn camping P'Li.
That L Mako is hoisting up is reaching TTGL levels of massiveness. It's like the fucking GIGA L BREAKER!!! or some shit.
Go enough pages back and you'll see my admittance of this actually.
we haven't seen either of their jobs have heavy impact on their character development since book 2. mako being a bodyguard was very superficially important to his character in book 4. asami being ceo of future industries wasn't uniquely important to her character at all, and varrick got to talk more about their technological endeavors than she did. she made the hummingbird robots and got to say nothing about it.
Bolin can probably take Kuvira's old gig as Captain of the Metalbenders since he's marrying into the family and will probably move to Zaofu. Even Toph said that blockhead could learn metal bending with the right instructions.
the same as i did way back when i made those posts.
They're just what the story needs them to be at any given time. They're lists, not characters. The story doesn't necessarily respect their role in the story outside of... like... pragmatic use? Like they're not really written as people. The story needs them to do a thing, and then they do it, and then they sit out of the way until they need to do a thing again. The writers try to humanize them in some ways (Asami's woes with her father), but with Korra specifically it feels like her stresses don't really matter. They don't seem sincere because the way it's resolved is very abrupt. Toph helps her, suddenly she's cured. Then she fights Kuvira. She's not cured. Then we don't see or hear anything about her mental health problem until she meets Zaheer, and it's taken care of in a moment. And from that point forward, it's gone. Like... okay I guess? And then Raava is back or whatever, but I don't really care about Raava being gone because it's not like she had meaningful discussion with Raava in the first place. It's the same thing they did with Korra's connection to the past Avatars. Who gives a shit about them being gone outside of a meta standpoint? She didn't talk to them like Aang talked to Roku, so I have no emotional investment in her personal connection to the past Avatars because she didn't have an emotional investment in her personal connection to the past Avatars outside of how it related to her duty. And the writers force her to have a shallow understanding of her duty anyway so I'm also not invested in her duty.
Korra spent book 3 being this passive "thing" waiting to be collected, like a piece of the Triforce in Legend of Zelda. And Asami was like... that fast sail that you get in the auction in Windwaker. Like getting that sail is completely optional but you can get to the Triforce pieces faster if you have it. But you don't really need it, you know? You can beat the game without it. It's nice to have though.
It's these two """""characters""""" with this immense potential that's just been wasted over and over and over again, but I'm still a little invested in them because I have an idea of that potential and would like to see it realized in some form. I like the idea of Korra and I like the idea of Asami even more because I love that entire "women leading in tech fields" thing in stories these days and she scratches that itch.
God, that moment in book 4 when Asami held up the blueprints for the hummingbird mech and was ready to present them to Raiko and then fucking Varrick started talking over her had me HEATED. I WAS READY TO HEAR HER TALK ABOUT HER MACHINE!!!!!!!!!!! but at least we get varrick oh my god so good character
It's a fun show, just trips over itself every now and then. The only annoying thing are the people that herald it as the best thing since the invention of the wheel.
Wouldn't suprise me if that was inspiration for Varrick.
*fistbump*
Bolin's entire arc every season was trying to get with a girl and finding a purpose.
Does this make Opal Anya or Willow or Cordy?
I do my best to be somewhere in the middle of that argument. I like the show a lot. Would I put it over some of my favorite animes? No.
She's way nicer than Anya and Cordy, that's for sure. I would say Korra is more Willow/Buffy and Eska is Cordy, if we're making comparisons.
Definitely. His sick lavabending tech. Never be as good as Ghazan, though.
I guess Eska would be pre Angel Cordy because she ended up being way different after the third season of Angel. Maybe Opal is Fred? If Korra's Buffy/Willow, that borderline makes Kuvira Faith.
It honestly wouldn't surprise me if that's how Kuvira rolled.
We all know Bataar lost his v card while strapped to a table.
I'd like to think she enjoyed it more than Lin. You saw how she practically got off on dominating Korra in their first fight.
