I'm saying this because it seems no one can take them out. Tenzin measured up to Zaheer, but while Zaheer is kick-ass, he's also the least experienced bender. Tenzin is also pretty good himself. I just think Korra is going to display awesome power and totally wreck them somehow. | ||

Ideally, the point of this season is to show that you can't just use deus ex machina to solve your problems. I'm hoping that the result is that the four of them can't be beat right now but that Korra somehow manages to fend them off to be faced in Season 4. Probably not gonna happen though. | ||

And the Avatar state still gives her some level of power, though it might not be the world ending level of power she had before. She still has the unstoppable, overwhelming spirit of good inside her that was only able to be beaten by the overwhelming spirit of evil. And being able to bend all 4 elements at once is dope as fuck. | ||

As for Korra fighting the red lotus guys, I think she would probably lose a 4 v 1. If I recall correctly, the point of the avatar state was that the avatar would get the strength and knowledge of all the past avatars. So the avatar state more or less brings out the most powerful water bending avatar when she needed it, or the most powerful earth bender when she needed to move mountains. Since she has no link to the other avatars, her avatar state should have very minimal impact. I think the way Korra will fight Zaheer's crew is with a team of 4-5 master benders. Probably Tanraq, Zuko, Tenzin (if he lives), etc. Kind of like Zuko's last agni kai. EDIT: O and I wanted to add that I hope that the show creators build the plot with the last two episodes instead of a magically resolution. I hope the red lotus antagonists last for at least another season. The red lotus crew are interesting because they aren't a person/group who is just pure evil with a goal of world domination. They are much more relatable to real groups of powerful fanatics. I prefer a well developed story over a quick happy ending. | ||

When avatar Wan entered the avatar state, it still granted him quite a bit of power, with the ability to bend the four elements at once and whatnot. But yeah, I doubt it would be enough to take the four of them at once. | ||

To bring balance to all 4 elements (in terms of quantity of users)? | ||

This week's episode was sooo good, season 3 has been TLA level | ||

To bring balance to all 4 elements (in terms of quantity of users)? maybe it's balance, but maybe it's just that "people discovering they can bend earth/water/fire" is not very surprising? | ||

I love Zaheer , he's very well written , the rest of the cast is so bad it hurts to watch this show now.Zaheer's gang doesn't have any personality and are just super powered henchmen that do the beating episode after episode. Korra's allies are laughable too , not a patch on the original group whose personality and skills developed as the seasons went by.Korra's allies are just a punching bag for whatever antagonist in that particular season and the season passes by until Korra herself powers up enough to beat them alone. Very disappointed in this series , been going steadily downhill since the first season in comparison to the TLA which became better and better as it ran. | ||

Tenzin was clearly dominating Zaheer. Zaheer hardly did anything in the fight, and they had to gank up on him to really get him. There is little development of the other characters aside from Zaheer, that's true. The only scene that comes close is the one where Bolin "makes friends" with the waterbender and the earthbender. I can understand how someone could be disappointed in LoK when compared to TLA, but as far as this season is concerned, I think it holds up quite well. | ||

We also get to see Zuko again but that's almost fan service. Just about every episode has had some fighting to keep things interesting and I think that's limited the amount of development possible. It's really hard to develop a little about every character in so little time. For instance we really knew very little about Azula's gang except their backstory and personality until we started seeing Mai in her home city or all of them on the beach or Azula talking to her mother in a mirror. That took seasons of time. | ||

They've introduced way too many characters with little to no backstories and dull personalities just for the sake for it.Plus compare the characters in TLA when they are introduced in the first season to the third season and there is a huge difference in their personalities , growth and skills as they move along making it a better viewing experience rather than see them getting beat around by every man and his dog or make the same lame jokes again and again. The show's being dumbed down to make it more kiddy friendly.The animations are better , everything else is worse. Can't believe some people compare it to TLA. | ||

They just had a cold blood murder on screen. Tenzin might die too. This is some pretty dark stuff for a kid's show. The show does suffer from its format. It does not give as much time to develop characters, so there is that. But I think you're going a bit too far. | ||

First, TLA had 20 episodes instead of 12/13. Second, Azula had absolutely zero "development" except for the mirror scene few minutes prior to being defeated. That was after 42 episodes after being introduced. She was the badass pwnthemall that P'Li is now for example. The same goes for Iroh, he had almost as much screentime as Zuko and aside from finally making up his mind and join the white lotus in freeing basingse, again in the very last episode, he had absolutely no development. The format is complety different too. TLA was, apart from the Basingse episodes, relatively standalone episodes with an overarching story of aang training bending. There were no surprises, no scheming. We knew exactly what was to come, 50 episodes before it actually happened. Everything in between was just a journey. In season 2 of Korra we had no clue what Unalaks plan was, or if he actually was a villain at all, until it actually happened. The same goes for season 3. Its episode 10 and we STILL dont know what exactly Zaheer wants with Korra. The show is focussed on the story, not on on the journey of the characters that leads them to growth as much as TLA. Oh, i forgot to mention that Aang have any development at all in the 60 episodes aside from learning bending? | ||
