This is a comment… I don’t know what to say

Lin and Tenzin are like the only two characters in this show that seem to have a genuine relationship and are the only two characters I actually give half a shit about. I can't bring myself to rewatch Korra too much of it is just a stab in the heart for me. The white lotus in Avatar being a badass group of dudes being turned into faceless NPCs is just so sad. I'm glad you're doing Korra because I wouldn't watch it otherwise lol

The blimps are typicaly filled with hydroxen which agressivly reacts in contact with air. Lin making a hole in a blimp might've released the hydrogen causing the explosion

Blimps were never filled with hydrogen for that exact reason lol. the risks were well known way before the hidenburg disaster and was banned. only germany did it and iirc they lied about using it. it's plausable they use it in this show tho i feel it's just the creators adding explosions for dramatic effect.

I have a soft spot for Aang's grandchildren, especially Meelo. Yes, they're basically all three walking caricatures — but they still somehow feel like real people, and I find them charming. Plus the way they lead the new Air Nation in seasons 3/4 is just nice. They're nowhere close to as good as the original series' main characters, but I like them WAY better than Mako or Bolin. I even like their fight scene here. Though I agree that the fight choreography of the Equalists just freezing to let them win is super dumb.

For Iroh’s fleet, there’s a pretty decent chance he’s patrolling the United Republic’s territorial waters, returning from patrol, or off doing a training exercise (something that actually comes up during Book 2). Even if he was on some kind of mission, “The Capital is under siege/has fallen” is going to be a universal “drop everything” kind of command. Overall though, loved the episode, and while I’m a bigger Korra fan than most, I had never realized how the heroes losing so many battles really sucks the tension out of their scenes.

This show has some bad moments (mostly the second half of season 2 and second half of season 4) but it still has its moments. Overall I think it was a decent successor to ATLA

Software Development

Yeah this show is absolutely PLAGUED with people just standing still for a considerable amount of time for no reason. Korra is guilty of this a few episodes ago in that car fight scene. This example was egregious lol. I mean at least 10 seconds of not a single one of them even moving a finger just to get knocked over then give up. Why even take the time to go to the island in the first place?

i think naga's mainly providing the movement forward, while korra's bending is maintaining the boyance.

"It would be horrifying to be pregnant as a firebender" yeh I can relate to this (had some real spicy tacos last night)

Mateo David

Another excellent analysis! Love your humor and wit. Keep up the awesome work!

Overanalyzing Korra is making me understand how crazy good Atla is

The first Kyoshi book says that new born babies born in the fire nation get tested for fire bending. Probably with in a day or two of being born. It is specifically emphasized that the breath of a fire bender matters to the test. Watching the show multiple times breath seems to be important to all four bending types. I would imagine an unborn baby cant bending because they can’t breathe yes. Once they are able to breath air then they have to potential to bend. Side note, how horrific if a baby got stuck part way out and stated fire bending sparks and stuff.

Seeing Lin having her bending taken away is pretty brutal. As one of the only characters that is written well, most of the audience cares about her at this point despite how little screen time she has. She also defines herself by her job, involving bending, and her family, she is the daughter of the greatest earth bending in recent history. It is a devastating sacrifice and the show to really under cuts it. With the introduction of Iroh II. And then nobody talks about it. We don’t even know where Lin is during the rest of the fighting. Maybe she was held for interrogation? Oh and for that scene where Pema asks Lin to help with Meelo, it is a really dumb idead to make your house/family guard do childcare when an attack is expected. Why distract your guard when she should be really and focussed? Was this some wired power play? Make my husbands ex care my our kid? Pepa is not a trained warrior but she should still be smart enough not to distract Lin right before an attack.
