Legend of Korra Book 4: You aint bout Dat Toph - Page 3

I'm not actually reading anything in this thread, just here to say I saw all of season 2 in a couple of days.

I should be discussing season 4 with you all next week.

Ikki earns her keep, the swamp still loves dragging people into itself. And Korra is back in her prime once more thanks to tough love and Toph telling her to learn from her past enemies, not fear them. Sadly I think this is the last we'll see of Toph for a while.

Nearly done with season 3.

Why'd they give driving duty to THE ARMLESS LADY!?

sure she has water tendrils she can control with surgical precision, but c'mon.

She was the only one with a license, obviously.

Ryong · 10-26-2014, 10:14 PM

Zaheer can totally also drive.

And now I just saw the first episode of the new season.

It's been pretty crazy.

I like imagining the swamp as being REALLY clingy

So, now that I'm done I'd like to talk a bit about seasons 2 and 3.

Season 2 was pretty weird with that ending, but I liked it even if it continues the trend of LION TURTLE EX MACHINA. Also, clearly evil villain somehow manages to fool Korra perfectly. Also, I expected those two detectives to actually be working for Varrick but as it turns out they were just incompetent.

Season 3 was great, except for the you're an airbender now that means you're an air nomad and you better accept that part. Another odd thing is that Fire Nation didn't have a single new airbender, and, in fact, very very little is shown of the Fire Nation throughtout the whole series. And "Oh hi, my name's Kuvira." was basically OotS. Also, did they forget Mako can lightningbend until the very last fight?

I think it's more that he didn't feel a need to use it due to that technique being fatal for moments where he just wanted to score K.Os, and requiring time to charge up making it tricky to set up.

Ryong · 10-27-2014, 08:04 PM

It certainly seems like he can do it pretty fast, he's used a non-lethal lightning bolt against Amon and he's been using a lot of fire, so it's clearly not a "no I can't kill them" thing.

The only explanation other than they forgetting about him being able to do it is if he wants to keep it a secret.

I completely forgot he did that to Amon and he lived.
