Television Avatar: Legend of Korra

do you have a link for episode 3? I can't find it anywhere

 

Yes I've been looking forward to it, is it available anywhere? Also does anyone know when it will actually begin airing in the UK.

(AIRing...Ba dum tish)

 

Just google Dubhappy.
They have episode 3 there.

I'm about to watch it myself, I'll make my own comments after naturally.

 

Episode three..just wha, bleh, IT WAS SO GOOD!

But just had a couple of thoughts about the series as a whole (no spoilers).

I thought bending was inherited, so how can Bolin and Mako have different bending abilities? My only theory is that one parent was an earth bender and one a fire bender.
Also I though Appa was the last flying Bison, so how can there be another shown at the start of the series?

 

I wonder about how they have different abilities too. Another theory to add is that maybe they're not blood brothers.
As for the Bison, maybe they found another group of Bisons? I mean in the first series they thought Dragons were extinct but they found two. Or Bisons have a longer life span and that is Appa.
Ah this is why I love time skips, it takes what you know and makes it all new again! :D

 

Spoiler: ep 3

First of all can I say ... CALLED IT!!!

So who else thinks that we're gonna get a heart to heart with Aang soon about the whole Energybending thing that Aang did to Ozai?

 

All the Tai Li grandchildren is all I gotta say lol.

 

Just finished Episode 3.

OH GOD I LOVE THIS SHOW

Spoiler

Such awesome battle scenes against the Chi Blockers, and d'awww more Makorra :D
I really felt a sense of dread when Amon called up Bolin too. I care for these dudes :<

Kinda wonder about how Amon got that ability...almost made me feel like Aang had to have some kind of connection, since he's the only one who's been known to use it...

Also, I admit, I laughed out loud when Korra got embarrassed from Tenzin's daughters bugging her about Mako :]

 

Spoiler

Personally, I really don't believe that was energybending. We've seen energybending twice, once when the Lion Turtle performed it on Aang to give him the ability, and another time when Aang performed it on Ozai. Both times, the user put his hands on the head and chest of the recipient, and a bright glow occurred. Neither of those happened in Amon's demonstration.

I believe it's an advanced form of chi blocking. I also doubt it's permanent, probably just harder to reverse than normal chi blocking

 

Finally got around to watching episodes 2 and 3. Probending looks pretty badass. Also, Bolin<3 I'm loving this guy. I usually don't ship, but if I did, I'd go for Korra and Bolin. I loved Korra's reaction to the tablets in her airbending training. "Screw this! *firebends everything*"

Spoiler

I was thinking this. I was also thinking something along the lines of the Triple Triad being in league with him and faking it, but that seems unlikely as the guy didn't change poses or anything so I doubt the lightning would turn to fire. Also, unless he planned for something to happen, he would have had to take care of Bolin so I doubt the victims were in on it. So an advanced form of chi blocking makes sense.

And what are the chances that Amon and Mako/Bolin were victims of a firebender?

 

Spoiler

Wolfie and I were talking about this earlier. We think it's probably him being so skilled at Chi Blocking he can block the Chakras (specifically the one at the crown of the head), and using the myth of Energybending as a scare tactic. Though, the permanency is still an issue.

 

Spoiler

If it's actually a chakra block it's definitely not permanent, Aang got his chakra blocked for a while but he fixed it.

 

Spoiler

I agree with everybody, I don't think it's really energybending like what Aang did to Ozai. I think this is just a advanced chakra block.

And there is one thing that gets to me. All the benders look like complete wusses, yet they can do all the these advanced fighting techniques. During the arena battles in the episode 2, you could tell they were all getting really tired and weak after constantly bending right? Yet, we see Mako can do lightning???? What is up with all this???

 

I wonder ...

Spoiler

Amon said the spirits talked to him ... and he's also had his face stolen. What if instead of it being taken by a firebender like he said, he actually had a run-in with Koh and didn't keep a straight face.

Hmmm ...

 

Spoiler

Possible, might explain on how he might have possibly learned to block chakras, but I think that this firebender that burned his face, might also be the firebender that killed Mako's parents. I think that this firebender is going to play a important role later on down the road I bet.

 

Interesting idea! It'd be great if they brought that in. Or maybe

Spoiler

he IS Koh, come to get revenge on the Avatar for besting him.

This is just wild speculation now though

 

Spoiler

But why would he attack Amon's family and Mako's/Brolin's family in that case? If this Firebender is plot-relevant, my bet is that he's voiced by Dante Brasco.
