End game Amon is definitely going to be overpowered. SO pysched.

As if early game AvK wasn't imbalanced already.

So let me get this straight... from these two posts, AvK = ZvT.

Korra has three elements and a wide variety of strategies with these elements to harass Amon with and transition into midgame.
But with all the hax defense/dodging that Amon does (creep spread, early third, spine crawlers, 4+ queens), his late game is imba because it's infestor/brood lord. First, he holds you in place with some fancy move (Fungal), and then he uses two fingers to nullify your bending (fingers = broodlings, nom nom nom your army).

amirite?

It's not ZvT, it's AvK.

Amon has a weak early game with a lack of range, but he'll often do an early game rush. If Korra can push into the midgame and can obtain a positional advantage with close access to resources (water/earth) then she can press the advantage and potentially avoid the hero unit whilst sniping other important locations and units. If Amon can land a few key abilities then the game is over however, as a balanced counter to the hero unit abilities have not yet been implemented.

If Korra can get to super late game however, she'll win. I.e. I'm expecting Avatar Mode to kick in before her bending gets taken.

I had the same feeling. For some reason it is even more sad knowing that only Katara is still alive. It would have been less sad if they all just started afresh.

Yeah, every time I watch the very beggining of Korra (title sequence) I get a bit sad. This was especially true on the first episode where Tenzin sorta catches us up to speed. T_T
Then again I'm a pussy.

Question about the original series...
Toph is cited as the only one who uses her bending style (the Southern Mantis thing). Toph taught Aang, though. Shouldn't he use that style too? When I realized this I tried to specifically watch Aang's earthbending to see, but I think I only really saw one occasion where he did the 'Toph stance' outside of training (lowered stance, hands up with palms facing inwards thingy).

I dunno. Just seems weird.
Anyway everyone should read The Lost Adventures. You can get through the entire thing in like 30 minutes and a few of them are pretty good. Some of them are kinda dumb (the bee one o.O) but w/e.

I thought it was nice they sort of found their individual paths to bending, and perhaps it was such a struggle for Aang to continue to master earthbending that basic forms were good enough.

lol, but he never learned 'basic forms' like everyone else. He only learned from Toph. Even her basic forms looked different.
And he's the goddamn Avatar -- of course he mastered earthbending.

Well Korra has 'mastered' earthbending yet does not metalbend. There's levels of mastery in all bending forms, I mean Avatar State basically nullifies that somewhat, but requirements for lightning are more than just being able to bend fire well, it's a mental thing that I don't think someone like Korra would have.

Toph's form is also highly indicative of her situation, but I get where you're coming from in that its expected that Aang would bend in the same way as Toph does, yet he does not. Toph's bending style is also minimal in movement, whilst Aang was a busy body moving around everywhere. Narrative wise it doesn't make as much sense I guess, though production wise I get it. One guy does 4 bending styles, got to keep them unique and separate.

I've stopped enjoying LOK now. Basically the enemies have become far too one-dimensional. Sure, Amon's motives are arguably still mysterious. But the bad guys are becoming too cliche. It's your run of the mill good versus evil plot again where in order to make the bad guys evil enough their intelligence is lowered to the point where they decide it's going to be a good idea to round up a large group of people and lock them away - Nazi Germany, hurr durr. At least in TLA you could feel that it was more of a historical story when cultures were still developing, and you can kind of understand a Lord wanting to conquer other nations and rule over them as colonies, but in LOK society is supposed to be progressive yet there are a significant number of people (in power) who basically share Anders Breivik's worldview and think eliminating the part of society they disagree with is the solution to society's problems. In fact, it all begins right in episode one where Korra is arrested for destruction of property and Bei Fong doesn't care that she was only trying to protect the storeowners from the gangs. Fuck woman, what do you think your mother would say about your strict way of applying the law? I was willing to overlook it in the earlier episodes but then these incidents just became all too common for me to be able to enjoy the series anymore.
