didn't see this on here yet

I stopped reading where he admitted that they turned Korra into a massive bitch just so she could end up with Asami. Great fucking writing.

I read the entire thing 3 times, where the heck does he say that?

I guess he meant the part where they already planned to end Korra and Mako's relationship right from the beginning of season 2.

Yeah, because that's not totally normal for a relationship to end and doesn't happen to the majority of relationships.

That's weird, I thought she started out as a massive bitch and slowly became more of a human being and less of a turbobitch caricature.

I always did feel like Asami had a somewhat villain-like design. No surprise that she was originally supposed to be evil.

My major problem with the Korra series is how weak bending feels in it compared to TLA. Specifically fire bending feels completely neutered to the point where it isn't even scary at all. Everything is just earth bending and some air bending which is a bit sad after all the badass fire benders we had in TLA. I guess the overall quality of benders in Korra isn't the same as TLA as we had people that were some of the best benders ever to live.


Wouldn't Noatak be one of the most powerful waterbenders to live? Zaheer certainly one of the most powerful airbenders, and theres Toph! Definitely the greatest Earthbender.

Though I admit firebending has felt weak, but damn has Earthbending become totally badass compared to TLAB, I mean LAVABENDING, now thats some badass bending.

zaheer was pretty obviously a terrible airbender, just an amazing philosopher

Tenzin is without a doubt the best airbender in the world. He was indeed owning Zaheer, though it seemed like he was trying to stall him until Ghazan and Ming-Hua defeated Kya and Bumi.

Zaheer was really nimble and powerful, just not the absolute best. Definitely top tier though.

The fact that Zaheer was able to fight against Korra in the avatar state for so shows that he was very talented. Tenzin would have beat him and frankly, so would have Korra without the Avatar state, but that doesn't make him a chump.

Nah, Asami definitely gave off the "might turn out to secretly be evil and betray Team Avatar" vibe for a while. So did Suyin.

He didn't actually fight Korra, though. He just ran and ran until the poison completely crippled her, and then he tried to kill her.

That said, he was still better than an average bender. Just not enough to be a match against the really good ones.
Average means I'm better than half of you.

How can you beat someone that can fly? It's like trying to beat a mutalisk in Starcraft: every time you engage they'll just fly away. Earthbending is useless, metalbending can be deflected, waterbending does not have enough reach, ice projectiles can be deflected, fire bending can be avoided. Fire benders that have mastered fire propulsion and other air benders maybe can't keep up with mobility enough to be bothersome. I don't know if blood bending interferes with flying since it's more of a psychic ability. I think lightning bending is a real weakness though.
Well, now I tell you, I never seen good come o' goodness yet. Him as strikes first is my fancy; dead men don't bite; them's my views--amen, so be it.

Given that encasing Zaheer's foot in ice was enough to throw him off balance and interrupt his flying, I'd say he couldn't do anything against bloodbending.

Bloodbending is largely overpowered. It's by far the strongest bending there is, at least when it comes to fighting people. You can't lay waste to the land with it the way you can with lavabending, but only a few people can oppose you (namely other bloodbenders and the Avatar).

Meh, how do you win a fight as an airbender? They have no good moves to trap their opponent.

Zaheer couldnt fly yet when he fought with Tenzin.

Well Zaheer would have killed Korra's father with an air cushion, if it wasnt for Kuvira. Other than that i guess you airbend them really hard against a wall?
