CorgiShinobi Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Final Press Art for Legend of Korra's season finale, by Bryan Konietzko none other. He has a few in-progress pieces of this final image, sans Korra and Mako. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deanb Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 Is this saturdays the last? But there has only been 10 episodes. TLA was like 20+ a pop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 (edited) No, there's the one this Saturday, and then a 1-hour finale next Saturday. But yeah, this season is much shorter than one of TLA's. On the plus side, they've already confirmed there will be a second season that will start airing later this year. *Edit* - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_The_Legend_of_Korra_episodes Edited June 14, 2012 by TheMightyEthan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 It does help keep the filler down. Remember the canyon episode in TLA? Even the creators knew that was pointless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the creators knew that was pointless. The Great Divide. I learned not too long ago that a lot of fans consider that to be the worst episode. Worst being a relative term of course, but still an immensely forgettable episode compared to the rest of the series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 Yeah, the stated reason for the shorter seasons is that they can keep the whole season more or less on one continuous arc, without having to go off on tangents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMightyEthan Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Assuming you're talking about Asami, that was made pretty clear in the last episode. (I didn't watch the clip, so if you're not talking about Asami I appologize.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 That's another thing LoK has over TLA Reveal hidden contents Mature relationships, at least so far as to discuss them. In TLA, you saw how Zuko's mother wasn't comfortable around the "royal" aspect of her family, and how Katara's grandmother ran off to avoid marriage, but that was about it. I've been meaning to mention this, but so everyone realizes this... Tenzin is 51, and Pema is 35. According to that "Welcome to Republic City" thing. I have to say, I thought she looked 45, but maybe that's what happens to you when you're raising three airbenders. Going on about Tenzin and Lin's relationship, we know it wasn't just Pema and in fact the two were pretty much on the verge, but Pema is what tipped the scales. I can only imagine the anger Lin felt when her boyfriend, even if she wanted to break up, went off with some girl 15 years younger (Lin is 50) than herself. Like, say Pema was 18, then Lin would have been 33! Trying to toss Pema in jail, well, it doesn't seem so extreme given how emotional it must have become. Kinda silly for Pema to suspect anything, or be jealous (whatever it may turn into), but you would think Lin perhaps harbors her own jealousy. Pema is only 35 years-old and already has three children. Lin had Tenzin, but lost him and she may feel like that was her only chance to having a family. Maybe we'll see Lin and Pema becoming closer at the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 When did Reveal hidden contents Lin try to throw Pema in jail? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 (edited) In "And The Winner Is..." when Korra says "I'm surprised she didn't try throwing her in jail" and Tenzin adds that she tried. If you go on Nick.com for the episode, it's at 5:50. EDIT: It's implied that was Lin's initial reaction, so nothing relatively close to the events of LoK.

CorgiShinobi Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 (edited) Woah, WOAH! I'm surprised no one else has posted anything about this amazing episode. I mean, without spoiling anything, it's setting up everything for the big 1 hour finale. Like, it's all straightforward, so no need to theorize, but the amount of action and bending we're use to from the original series is brimming to a high level. Lin Beifong... just, she has always been a favorite, but that lady really Reveal hidden contents was the greatest metalbending police chief ever. That self sacrifice, truly emotional. I'm also going to have a lot of scenes to GIF. Not one, or two, but probably a dozen. Oh, also, Bumi is not Amon. Someone noticed a little detail given... Reveal hidden contents the uniform the "new" General Iroh was wearing. In the family tree chart, Bumi has the same collar. I was thinking it would have been cool for one of Aang's kids to marry a kid of Zuko's, but obviously we didn't have much of a basis besides a "red and gold collar." Interestingly, Tenzin would be this new Iroh's uncle. Deja vu... Edited June 17, 2012 by Atomsk88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 I need the scene where Reveal hidden contents Meelo is screaming in slowmotion or him fighting. what a little badass as a GIF. Also I haven't posted anything because I've been out the whole day and only got back to my grandma's right now. Very badass episode, nonstop action and honestly Tenzin continues to prove he is the most badass airbender ever. After Meelo of course. The ending shocker was sad but I feel like it could have been way more dramatic. Their loss. Also Reveal hidden contents I can't be the only one who laughed when the manly looking general spoke with the exact same voice as Zuko.

Yeah, that amused me too, they should have Reveal hidden contents had the voice actor make his voice deeper, so it would still sound like Zuko, just not exactly like Zuko. That is not an adult's voice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorgiShinobi Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 Some guy already beat me to most of the GIF worthy scenes, though I still have a few ideas left. The benefit of getting your episodes on iTunes, I guess. Like Mister Jack, I'm waiting for the disc collection. I doubt it'll be Blu-ray though, given that animated "kid's shows" are on DVD because parents can't (most of the time) justify buying Blu-ray for a cartoon.

deanb Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 Dammit that VA at the end was terrrrible. Also I was reading your spoilers before I managed to get around to watching the show (Both MPC n VLC pooped out on me, so had to copy across to use on PS3) and Reveal hidden contents I was expecting much worse with Lin Also don't watch near end of LoK episode with two kids just starting on TLA "Who is that" That's the little boys son" "But he's really old, is he the boy grown up?" "no, he's his son". "Who is that?" "That's Tophs daughter but she's not in yet" "Is that a polar bear?" ""No it's a polar bear dog" "Hah that's the flying thing" "No, that's a different one" "Just shut the fuck up kay?" Reveal hidden contents The fight with the kids was pretty neat, and Tenzin is miracoulsy much stronger than he was shown to be before(when initially easily defeated by the mechas n equalists). Even stronger than his avatar father I'd say. If they were to fight I'd think Aang would have to go into Avatar state for a leg up. Which Korra still hasn't done btw.

CorgiShinobi Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 Well, about the voice... Reveal hidden contents There's two sides to it. 1. A sort of generational-heritage element, given that this new General Iroh is most likely Zuko's grandson. It's neat if anything. 2. The more obvious, which did put my off as well, is how "age" inappropriate it is. My guess is General Iroh must be in his 20's, but he has the voice of a teenager. I don't just mean Zuko, but the voice actor has used this voice for other teen characters. So yeah, a grown-up with a well-known puberty voice. Just had to make it deeper, but... eh, okay.

deanb Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 I guess it makes it somewhat obvious who it is (relationship wise), but yeah pretty weaksauce on the VA for not attempting anything different, n screw director for not asking for anything different. Thing is they did it fine with Team Avatar MKII in last episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 In case no one subscribes to the TLA subreddit, probably the most ingenious joke I've seen for LoK. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's part of what made it so weird: the adult voices of the actual TLA characters were just fine, so why was this one so crappy, given that it wasn't even the same person?
