[TV] Avatar: Legend of Korra

Tarrlok's dead, which sucks because he was an intriguing antivillain who came off like he was on the path to a heel face turn.

The very reason why I was fairly confused.

It was pretty unlikely that he'd still be alive in the first place, but his death was officially confirmed in the Blu-Ray commentary. Wasn't sure if you'd heard.

Even if he were still alive, I think he'd still be depowered—by choice. Being a waterbender was strongly implied to be a mixed blessing for him; I don't think he'd let Korra restore it. And Unalaq definitely waterbends in the various clips.

Hopefully they will do some actually bending this season insted of just punching around (which happens to have to same effect as real bending).

Even though I know I'l be dissapointed again, it's still worth a watch.

I watch the show, I don't really follow any of the extra stuff. But thanks for letting me know!

They are in the Spirit World and if he's dead... Well, yeah.

Man... Tarrlok's death, I just don't know. That really got me... I nearly teared up reading that spoiler.

Do you have a source for that?

Would like to read more into it.

Thank god basic training is months down the road for me still, I might be able to see all of it.

Friday nights? Hmmm....Saturday morning was better. Although ironically I usually missed all those lol.

[Patriciatanner]

They always added them to the official website soon after it airs, don't they? If not, it wasn't too far from it. Shouldn't be too hard to see the new episodes when they start coming out.

I'm hoping the entire Book doesn't have that rushed feel too it like the first Book. I liked the first Book but I didn't enjoy it like I did A:TLA and I really hope the Avatar team learned from that mistake. I don't understand how even if it was to only be one season in the first place (before more Books were asked to be made) how they could have just rushed that so fast.

Wasn't it initially planned to be a one season mini-series? And I'm sure they stated somewhere that the new seasons will have a slower pace, and the seasons would be generally longer than the first one.

It was meant to be a mini-series, then it gained a good enough reception to have them make more.

And while I don't mind if each season has its own baddie to take down, they better not try what they did with the first book. You know, fixing every problem in the span of the last two minutes.

Indeed, that' why they've gone and made another season and announced that there'll be four in total.

God dammit Azula...

OT: Yes they did state the mini-series thing but I have no idea where they have possibly said it will be slower. I know they said there will be more Books than A:TLA but less episodes per one than A:TLA.

I want a setting more similar to the Last Airbender this time around.

The full-out Steampunk isn't doing it for me. I liked when there was the occasional steampunk equipment and the war machines in A:TLA, but the atmosphere wasn't nearly as enjoyable.

That's kind of the point though. Since it's in the future it's in a more industrialesqe time. Since the Fire nation was more advanced technology wise, without the war, the rest of the world was able to catch up.

From the trailer though, it looks like the Water tribe isn't as big compared to the city. And if much of the time is spent in the spirit world, there will probably be more natural looking settings. Added with the fact that I doubt every Book will take place in a big city, and will have them travel eventually.

That was my issue, I was like, "Didn't the Avatar just run away when shit hit the fan but his Korra girl and her group seem to stay in the city where it's super dangerous". It made no sense to me.
