I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

ya lol it is a young justice reference xD

yeah, idk y everyone is complaining about the adult voices they sounded fine. Also with all the plot twists in legend of korra, i like how none of them have been too far fetched, there's no deus ex, they're all pretty believable and have reasonable logic behind them lol.

I'll admit, I was satisfied with the voices, but for a man who looks like a beefy, elemental master Abraham Lincoln, he's very soft spoken, almost like he was still his kid self. No wonder Toph still calls him Twinkle Toes.

Of all the adult voices, Sokka took it. Toph's voice fit her better, but the way Sokka bragged, gave a speech and talked about Boomerang was just nostalgia heaven.

I actually could see Asami becoming a villain in the second season. We could see a resurgence of the Korra/Mako pairing in the finale, resulting in a jealous Asami who takes out her frustrations on benders as a manipulated puppet of the equalist movement.

Tarlok and his father's form of bloodbending is extremely overpowered. They both literally single-handedly incapacitated a room full of people including some of the most powerful benders in the world. And then Amon just shows that he's even more OP. That being said, I don't think the apparent overpoweredness of these characters detracts from the show; it's just kind of "LOL WTF"-inducing.

Some of the voice acting was a tad weak though (namely Aang, but sometimes Mako and Bei Fong sound really wooden), a flaw the original series also had. Also Mako is kind of a dull character so far, which also makes Korra seem dull or at least irrational for liking him so much. The main characters in TLA were really vibrant in comparison. Hopefully we'll have more character development to make Mako seem less one-dimensional.

Did that guy who came up with the theories about yakone that almost all turned out to be correct come up with any new theories after this episode?

I see Amon being either a spirit or an energybender.

If you are referring to this:

http://birdbrainblue.tumblr.com/post/24281699688/an-analysis-of-the-flashbacks


That guy got almost nothing right. The points he got correct were:

-The guy on trial is Yakon
-Yakon is a bloodbender
-Yakon can bloodbend even when it's not a full moon
-Aang removes his bending
-Yakon has a son Tarlok
-Tarlok can also bloodbend without a full moon like his father


It might seem impressive, but all of these things were obvious and already guessed and accepted as true by pretty much everybody. The parts of his theory that were actually unique and interesting, none of them were even remotely correct.

Eehh maybe the cycle got messed up because of aang's stasis and there's been a second line of avatars raised in secret? Perhaps Uman disliked being an avatar so he decided enough is enough?
edit: would explain why Korra can't turn spirit mode, the cycle started prematurley and Umon inhereted the spirit powers

Except Korra can contact the spirit world like with the flashbacks in the msot recent episode.

Actually, if Amon was a cyborg his method for taking away someone's bending makes sense, not just because he was resistant to the blood bending. After all, he has a completely different technique from how Aang did it in both the flash back and in TLA. So maybe, one of his hands, or both, isn't actually a hand and emits electricity or something like that. We've seen before that electricity (tazers) is used by the equalists to stop bending, so maybe bending can be completely taken away by shooting electricity into the brain or spinal chord.
I really dislike idea that the avatar cycle was messed up by Aang's stasis.

If he's a robot, pray explain why he seemed sensitive to Tarrlok's bending, even if only a bit. Did Tarrlok manage to briefly oilbend ?

I also thought that as long as Amon did not explain his bending removing technique in detail, nothing really proves it's permanent, even though he claimed it. By permanent I mean that perhaps if it can be taken it can be retrieved. It would be grandiose if Season 1 ended with Korra losing hers and having to roam the world looking for someone who restores them.

By the way, I thought it was an Ocarina of Time reference. Every single nerd on the planet has played this game, what do you expect us to think of if you evoke a time skip between two seasons ?

Anyways, is it possible maybe that amon takes their energy or something, and hence continues to grow stronger ;O

I was considering this possibility myself. In Sozin's Comet, Part 4: Avatar Aang (TLA's final episode), the Lion Turtle says the following to Aang.

"In the era before the Avatar, we bent not the elements, but the energy within ourselves. To bend another's energy, your own spirit must be unbendable, or you will be corrupted and destroyed."

The above information and the fact that Aang can use it to take away another's bending are all we know about energybending. As far as what exactly an energybender can do with the energy he or she bends, we know nothing (other than, of course, that the Avatar can take away another's bending). The Lion Turtle's information is vague, but it seems to me that it might imply the possibility of "absorbing" energy from within another person. Given our limited information, we can neither confirm nor deny this possibility (unless I'm forgetting something else we know about energybending).

Of course, this theory rests on the other theory that Amon is an energybender. Given that he has taken several people's bending away, none of them have (to our knowledge) regained their bending, and assuming that only energybenders can permanently remove others' bending (we've been given no evidence to support the contrary), Amon must be an energybender. The kicker is that we know next to nothing about Amon, so any conclusion we could reach concerning the source of his power would be based upon assumption. We know chi blocking can temporarily take away one's bending. Perhaps Amon merely did for chi blocking what Yakone did for bloodbending ("perfected" it, so to speak), and he's not an energybender at all, just a male Ty Lee on steroids. We don't know, because we don't have enough information.

As far as Asami/Mako/Korra goes, I'm unsurprised by the direction they're going. Mako doesn't realize how much he cares for Korra until he loses her (albeit temporarily), a common mistake. I'd be very disappointed if Asami were to turn Equalist simply because of Mako/Korra after showing such resolve against her father's actions. Hopefully the inevitable confrontation will involve nothing more serious than teen angst.

You're right, we know barely anything. But I would cross out the chi-blocking thing. If you're not familiar, the chi-blocking thing is heavily inspired from the kung fu movies (well as with the whole series lol) where someone would whip out some surprise strikes and render his opponent immobile temporarily, due to his pressure points being hit. So it would make sense that by striking certain parts of the body, you can "disrupt/block" "chi", thus disabling them from bending for a bit. Just bending their neck back and touching their forehead shouldn't be enough to do any of that.

Naw guys its totally obvious Amon's an alien for sure, here to cause infighting between benders and non benders to weaken earth's forces against the pending alien invasion in season 2. And obviously there will be a random 4 year time skip between season 1 and season 2 (if u get my reference )

Btw, on a more serious note, that picture of Aang has already been disproven for anyone who srsly was confused by that -_-
