It took so much effort for Goku to be the first Super Saiyan in a really long time, but it took Gohan less time. Then Goten and Trunks did it as children. Once a special technique that is possible for others to use with practice is figured out, it'll become easier to do as time goes on for newer people. It may not even be a matter of that. Think about the real world and how the spread of information changed with things like the radio. The invention of new technologies may have made the spread of knowledge much easier than in the previous avatar world. Lightnight was only taught to elite characters, members of the royal family apparently, but with the invention of new technologies it coulda spread like wildfire (haha i cracked a pun...get it?  ). Anyways, the point being that the world changes in 75 years, especially with how rapidly the technology changed, so in a way it is pretty believable.And even if it wasnt its a fictional world crap changes -_-. | ||

Zuko had learned a different philosophy of firebending from the sun people and the dragons, which was before based on rage and anger. Zuko became the firelord later on, so it is very likely that he began to promote his style more as well. Additionally, Iroh states in TLA that Lightning Redirection is more of a waterbending technique. With this in mind, having people of all nations and bending abilities live together, as they had never done before, probably helped techniques and such mingle, and it is likely that learning from other bending cultures helped to find an easier way to create lightning. Basically, it's what everyone had said, that things just change after that long. But I am also trying to find some reasons for those changes. | ||

Here's a link where you can watch the show AND support the makers of it. http://www.nick.com/videos/clip/legend-of-korra-108-when-extremes-meet-full-episode.html All i ever get from Nick is that it says content not available. I've herd that some people think its because its not available in their country. However i live in the US, so that shouldn't be the problem i'm having. I'm sure most everyone would love to be able to watch it on the original source, in the highest possible quality. Though due to Nick not functioning for us, that's not always an option. btw I get up and watch Korra every sat morning / record it. Though i understand why people need external sources. | ||

Simple as that. No need to get your panties in a bunch. | ||

I was first under the assumption that Tarlock would get Syicon to fix it up. Though upon further thought, benders can't really fix stuff for instance, like the characters in FMA. They can only move bend or warp thing, they can't atomically bond anything. So for example, the railing that Korra exploded, there no way for a bender to fix that. It needs some kind of bonding agent, to hold it up and make it structurally sound. Yeah so i guess im curious as to how Tarlock is going to explain this away. While he obviously has a lot of influence and power, i'm not so sure it's to this degree. | ||

Tenzin will be particularly skeptical, because he hates Tarlock and he probably will have realized Korra's absence by that time.

He can explain the attack as some benders who didn't like him and wanted to settle something. | ||

Now I love this, and it's probably what a lot of people like, but sometimes I just need a break between all the aggression, or else all the action scenes get me wound up and I need each scene to be better than the last, which they mostly have... so I don't know, I would like some past connection with other avatars but that's my only criticism. The spiritual side will come soon, patience, theres been quite a few foreshadowing for it imo. | ||

Right, but he'll suspect him anyways becuase Naga will be waiting. You've seen that Futurama episode, right? "Wait right here boy." He waited. Naga will too. Except the outcome will be happier D: EDIT: Damn. I've only got one episode left (which is actually four episodes, I guess) on my rewatching of ATLA. I'm sad already. Are any of the nick things worth looking over? Like, thers a 'virtual tour' of republic cit type of thing there. You click the giant Aang statue and it tells you about the last few avatars... and I'm sure theres a whole bunch more shit there. Any of that worth looking into or is it just a ubnch of random 'fun facts' ? | ||

I thought the content was simply blocked according to the country (I live in France by the way, not North Korea or somewhere of that kind). "Sorry, this video is unavailable from your location" is what I got when the series started airing, and what I still get, I doubt it's something of a temporary issue. Just google Korra episodes and go to first website if you can't watch. | ||

Korra's lack of spirituality is a plot point. Her not being able to connect with the Avatar state and airbending is why she gets her ass kicked constantly. | ||

She'll prob find her spiritual side during the S1 finale and go Avatar mode and use airbending and kick everyones ass with ease. | ||

Also, the second episode was almost entirely about her trying to learn airbending and get to her spiritual side. | ||
