Kinda funny how the strongest Avenger has the weakest film, even when you count Hulk's first modern film. And I do mean "modern" because the first theatrical Captain America was horrendous.

I didn't see it at first, but Cadence has two pony tails!

LMAO, I've got to watch that movie again!

Rayman Origins. It's been $30 for a long time, and I had a gift card that made it $10. I'm also going back home for the summer so maybe some friends will come over and play co-op.

Helped my roommate beat Mass Effect 2. He was on the last half hour, but hadn't picked it up in nearly seven months. He got Mass Effect 3 and I told him he needed to finish it. He thought he had, like, two hours left. I'm pretty sure the game makes it clear going to the Collector's Base is the final stretch and there's no going back, but what'cha gonna do? All I really did was tell him who to pick so that no one died. Still, he only asked for who to send the survivors back and the biotic to use.

Obviously Batman is bleeding because he bumped into one, or more, of the text boxes encasing him!

It's theorized that not all metals would act similarly in metalbending because the effective use of the metal is indeed based on how much un-purified earth is located in it. So precious metals like gold and silver wouldn't be that useful, though if you're in combat there is obviously going to be iron and steel to use if you're at a fortress, or etc. The other point I was going to make was how metalbending acts differently to earthbending. I just mention that different metals have different results, but (if my memory serves me) Toph has had to always been in, or very close, contact with metal to bend it. Unlike earth where an earthbender could move a slab some distance away from them, to bend the little bits of earth in the metal seems to require a more hands-on approach. So this leads up to how to contain a earth- and metalbender. Well, in the third season some Fire Nation officers threw Katara and Toph into a wooden cage. There was metal around, but Toph couldn't reach any of it. As far as a metal... I don't know which metals would be both strong and highly pure. I'm sure we could find something in our world, but in Legend of Korra they're at that stage where civilization is becoming more industrial. It's more about making devices than refining them. EDIT: Who's to know though since it has been 70 years and metalbending obviously became well-known. Maybe the series will display a unique cell like when we saw Korra and Lin in that 100% metal interrogation room.

I didn't realize it... but I think I sorta did. I guess Hugh made it official, but what made him or someone else think, "What kind of animal is sexy? I know, a RABBIT!" I'm telling you, Bugs Bunny... Bugs Bunny!

That video has been blowing up tonight. Well, at least among my brony friends. Hard to believe someone could out-eat Pinkie Pie.

Who was it that decided bunnies were sexy? Not saying your character isn't alluring LP, but the thought just came to me. Maybe someone really liked Bugs Bunny in drag?

You're right that a typical earthbender wouldn't need seismic sense, other than them having a "threat detection" technique, though Toph needed it to see and make sense of the world. Because of her reliance on seismic sense, she discovered the pockets of un-purified earth in metal. It would be like someone walking around with a magnify glass constantly, and because of that constant use she saw the little bits of earth. When Guru Pathik is speaking to Aang and giving the analogy of earth and metal, it's a spoken description of why Toph has discovered metalbending. Think of all the earthbenders ever chained up, or in containment with surrounding metal. You'd have to think that at one point someone would think that they could bend metal, but nope. They probably failed, and they failed because they didn't bend the earth within the metal. Metal is being manipulated along the points of the un-purified earth. Heck, when Katara and Aang are trying to breach the hull of the Fire Nation "giant drill," Aang sarcastically remarked how he wish he was a "metalbender." The idea has to have popped up, but the method was never discovered until Toph. Looking this up I saw there is a book/comic of Toph training three kids in metalbending, but since I've never read it or even seen it, I don't know how she went about it. Sometimes the books aren't even considered canon, just a "neat sidestory." EDIT: Man, I had a lot of grammatical errors... (and a few spellings). EDIT2: Well, well, it's part of a graphic novel that is suppose to be canon. First issue was this last January and details event one year after TLA ended. The second will be this coming May!

True, just I didn't know if that was because he was the Avatar who is pretty much capable of all bending and each subsequent known technique.

About a certain spirit As for metalbending, I'll repeat "discovery over difficulty." It requires seismic sense so that the earthbender can locate the tiny amounts of earth remaining in the metal. I don't know if seismic sense is something that can be taught, but it's required for metalbending so even a master earthbender could be unable to metalbend if they do not possess seismic sense. So yeah, there is some difficulty to it as well as simply saying, "Hey, you know we can bend metal too" isn't enough. Because of this, even those with seismic sense in the past probably never thought to look at metal and wonder if they could bend "non-rock" stuff. EDIT: Oh, and as for Zuko...

"Did I miss anything?" I think these goddess alicorns must go into hibernation during their off-time.

Alright, a bit more info from some research on Amon's... you know...

Amon is a giant fraud, that's my theory. EDIT: Oh, and when Mako and those other firebenders were using lightning generation in that power plant, I got giddy with how lightning was being featured in this industrial world. If you think about it, lightning was pretty freaking special in The Last Airbender. Only Ozai, Azula, and Iroh would generate lightning whereas Zuko was taught to redirect it. I guess Legend of Korra kinda nerfs it because lightning was suppose to be this master level skill because it requires... blahblahblah

Oh yeah, totally caught it on television today. Didn't know about anyone else, but my impressions anyway. A great introduction to Amon and the Equalists. It's refreshing to see a competent enemy, unlike average Fire Nation soldiers. Of course, the larger the army, the larger amount of standard soldiers. The Equalists are a small elite force, and every non-bender has to be trained in either chi blocking and/or offensive tech to tackle benders. So yeah, if you have a small group they've got to be very formidable for the plot to have any respect, which Legend of Korra did. Now, for the spoiler bit... Now as far as Korra and Mako...

Anywho, watching the eps now as Hub is usually unsubscribed for our DirecTV. At least I got to see the new episode of Legend of Korra! Will edit there for impressions. EDIT1: End of 1st Part: Uh, wow... that was pretty intense. That's some Maleficent evil right there! EDIT2: Pretty strong episode. I would imagine so for a two part season finale. Villainy was at a much more sinister level than "Nightmare Moon" or Discord, though he was more about chaos than deep rooted evil. I have to say, I'm feeling up to putting some Fighting is Magic music to that fighting sequence too. Also liked how they didn't Not to mention having Luna appear often was worthy of such a cool character.

Hey, you know what this thread calls for? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sryqaS07WaU PINKIE PIE TIME!
