I mean, you can do it effectively, but you can't afford to put out episodes that don't fit into the broader scheme of things. We probably won't be seeing much filler at all; I would be surprised if more than one or two of the episodes in the series did not advance the plot significantly. Don't worry that there won't be much for Korra to do. I have a feeling that the pace of this series is going to feel rushed, if anything. Recall that in season 3 of the original series, the show's writers had 21 episodes to execute what seemed like a fairly short plotline: Aang is in the Fire Nation, he needs to go defeat the Fire Lord. Yet the season seemed perfectly paced. Don't worry about where LoK is going. The show's creators know what they're doing. Just go along for the ride. I'm sure they will make more than 26 episodes. It's currently set to run 26 but i wouldn't be suprised if they extented it more. | ||

Aang favored Airbending even after learning all 4 elements. What? She has shown no specific affinity toward any bending discipline. | ||

Gonna pay some more attention now. Hopefully it won't ruin it for me xD Also, I am a 17 year old and I can confirm that 17 year olds act like that <_> 17 isn't that old, and it's not like even if you're 25 you can't joke around. | ||

How can you not notice the animation with fight scenes like that?! Then again, maybe it's cause your 17 and all you've seen is great animation :-p. But seriously, go back to the 80's, then 90's, then early 2000's, then even like, 3 years ago. Times are a changing and a changing fast! | ||

I've re-looked at it and wow lol, this is so much better than in anime xD. Another thing, I'm not sure I quite like the CG backgrounds during fights. It definitely makes it feel much deeper/real, and makes it much more dramatic. But I usually dislike CG just cus it makes things look awkward since it's not 2D. However their use of it in korra looks fine, and i'm indifferent about it for now. It's not 2D but it still blends in well. However, when they had that CG car, that was quite annoying to see. LoK is still probably one of the best shows I've seen using CG but it still just feels weird. The car's not supposed to attract that much attention is it? It should be the guy in it and Bolin's expression/reaction. (Look at Rebuild of Evangelion, omg their use of CG is so annoying lol). Which makes me question tho; if the CG for that one car for that one scene was pretty good (relatively), is it really even worth it to make it CG? The car was only there for a few seconds, why couldn't they have just kept it 2D? Did they really really need to show the car bouncing up and down as the guy came off of it, instead of just keeping a still background and drawing focus to the guy coming out of it instead of the car itself? | ||

The animation is usually pretty top notch in Avatar. As comparison, I remember sometimes in Naruto the movements were just so clunky and their expressions bordered on the derp face ![[image loading]](http://i46.tinypic.com/10qe49y.jpg) | ||

It seems to me though that he is an energy bender, the way he placed his hands on the guy to take away his bending was really reminiscent of what Aang did to Ozai. My personal bet is that he will end up being: + Show Spoiler + Bumi. Aang's other son. Supposedly he wasn't a bender, but perhaps he inherited energy bending and it wasn't realized at first. + Show Spoiler + Could it be that Amon actually is somehow possessed by the spirit of Ozai? This would explain how he could communicate to the spirit world, his wrath against benders and his dislike for the Avatar? It would also explain how he knows the basic way in which chi blocking is done and why he wishes for all bending to be gone. That said, Ozai would be dead and gone by now, but it is still a possiblility. | ||

The whole series has moved on so they need a new antagonist too, not the old one that somehow managed to survive. | ||

It doesn't make sense to me. I'm quite sure it was stated earlier in the thread, but the reason 2 brothers can bend different elements is because they had parents from different nations as Republic city is where people from all 4 nations live so i guess it is common to see people from different nations marrying. | ||

The reason we see so much waterbending is because the person that she replaced in the probending matches was a water bender. Keeping to the rules she has to water bend in those matches. Hope this helps :D | ||

Hope this helps :D That's not the series it's air -> water -> earth -> fire as in autumn -> winter -> spring -> summer http://avatar.wikia.com/wiki/Avatar Well that's the cycle of re-incarnation into different tribes not necessarily the cycle of elemental affinity. I agree she does indeed seem to be better suited to earth/fire rather than water I guess they wanted to have a protagonist of a different sort since water/air have similar personality types. EDIT: Maybe because of Aang's ice-cube time it screwed up the elemental avatar cycle with affinity and tribes? | ||
