Legend of Korra: finale spoilers

[seriouscupcakes]

I do not care for shipping with ponies and I do not care for shipping in this show!

...But Bolin and Korra should have been a thing, I think...

Um...

I see what you mean about shipping ponies. I found myself almost doing that once, and I'm like HOLY SHIT HOMESTUCK FANDOM RUINED ME. Thankfully, I can just ship them all as moirails, since it's freakin' canon anyway.
But what's wrong with shipping Avatar and Korra characters?

[Triangle Man]

...I'm just not interested in shipping, or at least not to the point where I'd fight someone over it. I focus on relationships in the show first and foremost and will never claim that the creators are wring on the relationship front unless they handle it really badly.

That's about it, really.

Shazam.

[ArmsAreLoud]

Because Mako is a terrible boyfriend and you should feel terrible for wanting him to be in a relationship with anyone

Logistics, first and foremost, i.e, all of the Avatar characters are either ancient or dead. Not that it ever stopped shippers before.

[ArmsAreLoud]

Hilarious in a sad way revelation: The love triangle that the fandom invented out of thin air for the Last Airbender was still not as stupid as the one the writers came up with for Korra.

So wait, four seasons now? Just now?

How do you fix the damage? Really, I'm curious, because any plot now will come out of nowhere and...come on guys, don't let me down a second time.

Four books. Book two will still be considered season 1, and books 3+4 are considered season 2? That is how it was explained to me.

[BewareOfNerd]

Apparently there was a Korra trailer at Comic-Con that featured freaky spirit monsters as antagonists.

[whoosh!]

(Mild Book 2 spoilers I guess?)

I found this on tumblr in relation to the stuff they showed at Comic-Con: http://the-other-waterbender-girl.tu...-in-regards-to

I'm pretty hyped for this whole business with spirits, mainly because I still haven't watched ATLA and know jack all about these guys.

[kaoticAntagonist]

"Cautious optimism"

[*Sigh*]

Don't worry, we don't know much more than you do. The spirit world wasn't one of the most looked into aspects of A:TLA.

Also what's wrong with you GET TO IT WATCH THE ORIGINAL.

[Quirk]

"Cautious optimism"

Imma gonna roll with this. Very cautiously indeed.

[linkzeldi]

I think Season Two will be worth it, just to see Bolin in his Green Parka.

[Oblivion]

Not sure if want. Will watch anyway.

Those shadow critters look cool though, I'm good with the design.

[Drillgorg]

Yes, spirit world is best world.

[Dastardly bananas]

"Cautious optimism"

I'm going with this too.

Except, Kya's favorite song is the Secret Tunnel song. That makes me stupidly happy.

[Dmatix]

Spirit world, eh? Maybe we can still get our Dark Avatar. I want a Dark Avatar.

[Drillgorg]

Amon will totes be in the spirit world being a scary ghost or something.

[kaoticAntagonist]

As near as I can tell it is set to be in the Southern Water Tribe 60-90% of the time, and people like her parents will be focused on.

My anticipation gland is torn between going as crazy as it did the first time and the feelings of betrayal it has experienced. It has no idea what to do.

[Fitzwibble]

Amon will totes be in the spirit world being a scary ghost or something.

And now I have visions of Amon as the Spirit world equivalent of a Scooby Doo villain

[*Sigh*]

Maybe the twist is that in the Spirit World Amon isn't Noatok but a being unto itself?

[Triangle Man]

Agreeing with the "Cautious Optimism" stance here. If they manage to pull this off, however, then it will be an awesome season.

Hopefully Bolin gets more characterization this time around!

And now I have visions of Amon as the Spirit world equivalent of a Scooby Doo villain

"And I would have succeeded in my plans to exterminate bending if it hadn't been for you meddling kids!"

And now for some picspam!

Arson is bad.

[Varkarrus]

I sorta ship Korrasami in the sense that if they were both into girls, they should go for each other rather than waste time with Arch-- Mako.

[kaoticAntagonist]

Okay, I think the Avatar creators best story making point is in concept.

And making shit that's bad and retroactively making it good.

edit: also I may need to reevaluate the finale if it isnt actually the finale but the first half of a season.

[myu2k2]

And making shit that's bad and retroactively making it good.

to think, this thought has been going through George Lucas's mind for the past 20 years when he looks back at the Star Wars films... even the newer ones now. And the fandom shall chant "Han shot first!" forever more.

(kinda just hope he'd take the "remake" bug that seems to be going around, and just make a total CGI Star Wars remake and leave the old ones alone)


As for Korra, i'm kind of optimistic. I would rather consider the first season a stand alone series. I think they did a good thing by taking a short time skip, i personally would've liked to see it be it by years rather then months (say when she is 30 and has a life with a family). Having her life uprooted then would be far more tramatic imo.
