Avatar: The Legend of Korra - Book 4

i think people are gonna get their bending back. the old series left enough clues on how to imo.

If anyone knows how to return bending/unblock chi spots…it’ll be Aang. So once Korra gets a hold of Aang, he can teach it to Korra. Simple enough.

it’d be interesting if amon had a reason to do with korra not being able to talk to aang. aang physically talked to people from the past but kprra seems to not be able to actually talk to people.

ehhhh i think that may be reaching. but we’ll see if they explain it further next season.

You mean Rock putting together a theory based on stuff that was shown/proven to be true in the past version of the show is more of a reach then just saying Amon, who has only really met the Avatar once and didn’t even do anything to her, had something to do with what they’ve mentioned as a problem of the current Avatar during the new series?

I think you are right, totes reachin’.

PS - Wind Kids beating up the new foot clan after only like 3 of them handled the Avatar was dumb.

Everything else, what ev. Lin ripping up the ship was pretty cool.

Oh PSS - Lin not making a stand and just having her bending taken away was kinda lame too. That was very un Daughter of Toph of her. Glad she remembered how to Earth bend this episode.

Found this on another forum.

She’s surrounded by chi blockers. I’m sure they blocked her bending, if not disabled her limbs completely like Ty Lee would against people.

All those Iroh pics, but no reference to ā€œI’m on a boat!ā€?
I started to lose interest in Lin as it seems she relies too much on her spider-webs too much. Why the fuck would she attempt to grab baton-man’s batons with her wires? No shit he’s going to electrocute you.
Jealous Asami = betrayal…seems too obvious.

Hadouken is blue fire. He on that Azula shit

Like I said that would be a lazyass Deus ex machina. I hate bullshit feel good cop outs.

Even so it would be the equivalent of a character in a comic book dying…it doesn’t mean anything because we know it isn’t permanent, and shows writers scared to commit. If no one permanently loses their bending, dies, or suffers any real loss then regardless of how it may be explained it won’t be as great a show as it could’ve been. TLK is totally a bleaker show than TLA and for such a show to have a squeaky clean ending in which all evil doing is completely erased would ring false and mar an otherwise great show.

you can’t even make that claim without knowing whether amon actually energybends or not…

And you can’t see that my posts are pure speculation.

I’m re-watching season 1 this week minus the first two episodes. I’ve seen them a few times already and the plot doesn’t pick up until episode 3. Some interesting stuff. I just watched episode 5 and I know the action is really going to pick up now. Although one thing that I’ve noticed is the bending isn’t all that impressive. From what I remember in the other episodes, the only top tier bending that happens is between Tarrlok and Korra.

I’ll post more thoughts after I finish episode 10 this week. Also imagine if Amon runs away in the finale? That would be lame as hell. :lol:

Back when I started down my aspiring screenwriter path (still working on it), I wrote, purely on the side in fanfiction style knowing it would never get made, synopses for a sequel series to The Last Airbender. I called it the Zuko/Sokka Chronicles, which is a dead giveaway for who the protagonists would have been.

Some highlights:

  • Took place 1-5 years after the first.

  • An unknown evil cuts off Aang from the Spirit World. He can still bend all the elements, but cannot enter the Avatar State or communicate with past Avatars.

  • Zuko introduces free elections to the Fire Nation and transitions to a new, elected Firelord. Zuko becomes an ambassador, and I swear I conceived this before he became an ambassador in Korra.

  • Zuko and Sokka buddy cop shenanigans against said new evil and its cronies, including Long Feng, who was too awesome to go out so soon.

  • New ally: a young waterbending prodigy, Junpei.

  • Airbending develops in random non-benders, including Suki (fuck off).

  • Zuko learns how to heal with firebending after finding a woman who strongly resembles his mother.

  • Sokka starts really investigating the ā€œscienceā€ of bending, which leads to him teaching Zuko how to freeze and thaw water. He asks questions like, why can waterbenders firebend to an extent? Plot leads to bending being some ancient JRPG-esque ā€œsystemā€ with the Spirit World at its centre.

  • The final villain was Avatar Kuruk, resurrected in Junpei – who, Total Recall style, didn’t want to lose the Junpei identity to Kuruk within. Kuruk engineered everything to collapse the spirit world, get his lost love back from Koh the Face Stealer, and a bunch of other stuff.

  • Final battle is Zuko and Sokka, cut off from their allies somehow, against a fully realized and brutal Avatar Kuruk (yes, two Avatars at once ZOMG). Zuko uses the new firebending trickery to freeze water, summon the multi-colored fire of life or some bullshit while Sokka assists with Space Sword Mark II.

Figured I’d share this because I wanted to get it off my chest and, again, it’s not like it would ever get made anyway, even if Avatar-verse had multiple timelines/what-ifs/etc.

So no comments on benders having having bender babies? Amon can take bending away or stop chi w/e but can he halt genetics?

i don’t even think the phrase ā€œhalt geneticsā€ makes any sense.

its to be expected from a kids show. as much as we want it to be a anime esque storyline with maturity its not gonna happen.

Fair enough. I’m thinking that Amon isn’t able to stop future generations from being born with Bending powers.
