Avatar: The Legend of Korra - Book 4

Were there black-ish people in this episode?

Yeah, one of the detectives in Republic City Police Department.

By the way, why I don’t see metalbenders around??

I’m pretty sure Lin’s a metalbender.

Weren’t they a special unit anyway?

Yep, they’re pretty much the department’s SWAT Team.

I hope this amnesia shit doesn’t last long at all. Amnesia is the most overused disease in all forms of media.

I hope we see a lion turtle in the upoming episode

This last ep was actually decent, because fucking Korra wasn’t in it for 99% of the episode. Was hoping the shipping stuff was over but looks like Mako is going to try to get back with Asami. Whoop dee fucking doo :coffee:

'Dat evil sly smile from Varrick though… damn.

@white shadow lol @ calling Unalaq Scar. Perfect name for him :lol:

At a time like this, I doubt he’d even try to get with her now. However, when are people going to realize that the Avatar’s missing?

Amnesia? Seriously? lol

Not exactly making me want to watch this show again.

I thought we had some really good discussion in this thread, but it was driven more by the last series over this one. By itself, Korra doesn’t seem to be driving discussion, not positive anyway. Oh well. I wouldn’t be reading this thread if spoilers would bother me, so I will just wait and see if you guys get really into it and enjoy it over a few more weeks time. Maybe something awesome will happen, a new character gets introduced, or Korra just dies or something (haha I know that last one isn’t happening).

Maybe she got eaten by Moe the Memory Stealer or something.

This is extremely old reply, but technically one of Tenzin’s kids could have been the avatar. Katarra is from the water tribe, making Tenzin (by blood) from there. It’s not explained how much from a nation the person must be.

I get why they have Korra the way she is. Aang’s background made him very spiritually aware and he had to be mature during their war with the Fire Nation. They needed to make Korra different, so now the Avatar pretty much knows all the elements, but it’s her spiritual side that needs work. It’s just…they took it too far and she’s annoying.

No they couldn’t. The Avatar cycle is Earth > Fire > Air > Water. The “Air” part of the cycle got used up by Aang so Tenzin and his kids can’t quality as they are airbenders.

Where is everyone getting these other avatar ideas from?

Tenzin is an airbender, yes. But he still has water tribe blood in him and so does his children. Unless the specifics are that the new Avatar must come from parent(s) that bend the proper ability (in this case water), I don’t see how Katarra’s grandchildren cannot qualify. Do they have to learn the elements in a certain order? Looking at Korra, yes she’s from the water tribe, but she learned 3 elements at such an early age. We don’t know which she learned first. Actually, I usually see her use fire bending more than the others, although that’s probably because of convenience.

The whole concept of benders of different elements having children is still new, with the only grandchild of said mixing (that I know of) are Tenzin’s kids. It was shocking to see children within the same family have different bending powers. Going with this, I’d say Kya’s children (I don’t think she has kids though) have the potential to be air benders. It wouldn’t surprise me.

Edit: I realize I may be stretching the realm of possibility. But I’m just saying what’s possible, not that it’s fact or what I’m strongly guessing for the show. Besides, these writers pull out some pretty crazy stuff (I’m looking at the brokenness of water bending).

Tenzin’s kids couldn’t have been the avatar either way. Once the avatar dies the next avatar is born immediately after so Tenzin’s kids couldn’t have been an avatar

You’re right about that point and definitely why Tenzin’s kids can’t be the avatar. Beyond that though, I wonder if they will mention said possibilities - grandchildren being water because their grandmother was, even though father is an earth bender. As far as I can tell, the way the abilities are inherited are random.

close thread.

As for the first avatar, I wonder why he retained his young look while others remain old like Rokku.

Did Unalaq release those evil spirits for an ulterior motive? Unalaq = dtdn (dont trust dat nigga)

He probably died young.
