CorgiShinobi Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 (edited) The Promise - Part 2 arrives this week (Amazon estimate says Tuesday, June 5th), so we'll see if Toph actually teaches her students. In Part 1, you only see the students and Toph tells them to practice as she is about to launch herself into the air and onto Appa. And you bring up a good point Mister Jack, though you have to wonder how much Team Avatar & Co. made known in history texts. "...that's when Sokka discovered cactus juice, and when things got weird."

Waldorf and Statler Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 Part 2 came out the 30th in the US. I downloaded it online and read it within an hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 Well, will you look at that... Meh, I doubt it would have arrived during the weekend, not to mention Amazon has the graphic novel for $6.59 when the retail is $10.99. Now to wait until, lets see... October 9th. Yeah, they read like an episode in length, so imagine taking nearly a year to see three episodes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorgiShinobi Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Imma double postin', but I finally got some of the bugs out of the video. For LP: I have more, but once the Sony press conference is over, I'm going to use my Tumblr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Next week: Reveal hidden contents http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_fsMP7-OmU So I assume he means to do whatever he's doing pretty soon, or hoping that Korra is long gone/dead. Cos his story will fall apart and he'll be fucked pretty quickly once she's back. Having Equalist gear is pretty..hmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorgiShinobi Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 (edited) Let me say, it's rare that a television series ever make me physically gasp when something amazingly shocking goes down. Reveal hidden contents I imagine Tarrlok wasn't with the Equalists now and that he was in his scheme simply for his own power. Having that gear could have come from, say, the police department's evidence room? Just saying it was something he had on hand. But I got to get this one out of the way first: WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU AMON?! I have two theories, well three but two are very similar. 1. Dude really does have something spiritual going on with his abilities. 2./3. Amon is a more powerful bloodbender, or he can bend energy. The idea being that he was momentarily slowed down my Tarrlok's control of his body, but was moving his own body to counter Tarrlok's will. If he's not bloodbending, then somehow (very unlikely) he has reverted back to the ancestral bending and controlled his body based on the energy and not the fluids. As we saw, the TLA energybending light show was for style and a visual representation of the energies present. When Avatar Aang removed Yakone's bending, it looked very similar to Amon's stance. Oh yeah, Avatar Aang, Chief of Police Toph, and Councilman Sokka. Not quite how I imagined Aang's voice, but Toph and Sokka were classic. "I once took out a man with my boomerang who could firebend with his mind. Not to mention the Twinkletoes bit. Some might feel a little bit bummed that we didn't see Aang, but at least we know what all the flashbacks have meant (with a few added bonus scenes). We have more questions now too. It's very suspicious that Amon knew where Tarrlok was keeping Korra, though what might be more likely is that he followed Tarrlok given that, "Hey we didn't take her. That Tarrlok guy did something with the Avatar. Equalists, lets see what he's up to." In closing, "pantbending" and how no man is safe from Lin's fingers. EDIT: Oh, and someone carefully scanned the last eight episodes and the Feathered Hat Guy (or whatever) has appeared 25 times! EDIT2: Said moment where I gasped and nearly fell out of my seat.

"Borra" is the shipping name, but honestly ever since the second episode's ending they really hinted at this "two lovers meet" angle, especially when Mako answered for himself when Bolin asks about himself having a relationship with Korra.

Though, based on the season finale preview, it looks like Mako and Korra get to team up and chances are something big will happen (relationship or not).

TheMightyEthan Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 That ad at the end made me think the season finale was next week, until I looked up the episode listings and saw that there's still one more regular episode first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 So is Reveal hidden contents Aangs other kid accounted for? The one that "couldn't bend"? Cos that's what I'm leaning towards atm given "special bending" is passed on to children. Also Lin putting on her gear, neat. And Twinkletoes at 40 still. Love it.

TheMightyEthan Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 (edited) Wait, you think Reveal hidden contents Amon is Aang and Katara's other kid, Bumi? *Edit* - Oh, I also wanted to say earlier, but forgot: Reveal hidden contents I do think Amon is using spirit bending, I don't think it's something new and unseen before.

deanb Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 Yeah I guess I'm saying that. Reveal hidden contents The episode did also have a point of Sokka saying how the special bending can be passed genetically, and also showing Aang using Amon-style energy bending (unlike the TLA stylised version), so I think it's within reason that Amon has some kind of relation to Aang. Amon has shown himself to be able to Energybend, like Aang, resist bloodbending, even more so than Aang(though Katara is a stright up bloodbender), and potentially also airbend too (see the part where Amon attacks Korra this episode, he flows out of the fog a bit) There's also the potential he's the yang of the Avatar. The Agent Smith to Korras Neo. Not an "anti-avatar" as I think that'd have the same effect as Smith attacking Neo, but a spiritual balance.

TheMightyEthan Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 I think that if I were Aang Reveal hidden contents I would have had Katara blood bend me so I could practice trying to resist it. Of course that might be colored by the fact that I just saw Amon resist it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 Yeah I don't think that'd happen Reveal hidden contents what with Katara kind hating on the idea of being a blood bender. "Hey wifey, wanna torture me with bloodbending on the potential chance I encounter one?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
