    This season is called Balance.

    Pretty sure they're gonna go with the "you havent made peace with your past self" angle and use it as an excuse to reunite her with the old Avatar cycle (notice how Korra is making a huge effort not to "act like her old self"? I mean evolving as person is one thing but they could easily spin Korra's new POV/Decision making as her trying to distance herself completely instead of reconciling with her past).

    Either way its only midseason so there was no way she was gonna put Kuvira down so soon anyway (even Aang had to job to Azula before he beat Ozai).

    You guys are forgetting Korra lost all connection to all the past Avatars.. maybe that's y she's weak as ?

    She was wack as ? with them. Show is a clear example of the creators not caring about their main character. First she's getting mopped by people who've been imprisoned most of her life, so at the very least they should be rusty as ? fight wise. THEN she gets decimated by a dude who wasn't even a ? at all.

    Now, she goes on her spiritual journey, gets her super powers back, and is completely mopped?

    This needs to be the last season. I'm not saying she has to win every fight, but at least be competitive about her losses and show some growth. Either the writers suck or they just hate her ass. She stay getting rolled on from the ? Games, underground fight club, to the bosses--Korra might not be the Last Airbender but she's damn sure the first crash ? .

    Well Korra has to take L's constantly because thats the only way the creators can establish conflict for her.

    THink about it, Korra was born and raised in a peaceful post war society, born to Northern Water Tribe Royalty, knew she was the Avatar from day one, never had to leave the Southern Water Tribe to learn 3/4 elements, had the White Lotus protecting her since day one, etc...

    Basically, she was born into very ideal circumstances so in order to have conflict for her, she has to be brought down every time.

    Whereas Aang was the last living airbender, a refugee on the run with the worlds strongest military (and the worlds strongest firebenders) looking for him, had to take down the leader of said military, had to venture around the world to learn the elements, and only had a small band of allies. He was always an underdog story so he always rose to the occasion.

    I think the mindstate behind TLOK was to create a protagonist who was the complete opposite of Aang in all facets.

    also, not saying this season is wack or anything, but I feel a bit underwhelmed. there's so much ? they haven't touched on in the universe and this is the last season of the series. we haven't seen the fire nation at all, and zuko's only been a minor character. fair enough that they don't want it to be too much of a "you have to have seen the last airbender to get these references!" type show, but we haven't heard anything from zuko's daughter either and only seen her one time. plus his grandson/nephew/whoever he was that was in the earlier season and was commander hasn't been seen or heard from since.


    just bothers me they haven't touched on some things

    I agree. I understand wanting to incorporate new players into the Avatar Universe and not wanting to focus too much on Zukos family (Azula and Iroh had a lotta screen time last series) but yeah the Fire Nation was non existent in the new series. I guess the tradeoff was the Earth Kingdom getting a lot more screen time.

    I did like how the Earth Kingdom essentially sucks. Their last 3 rulers have been inept or corrupt and a good portion if not most of the citizens are poor. They could've made the Earth Kingdom just as badass and awesome as the other nations but they made a conscious decision to show it as very flawed. Kudos to the diversity aspect.

    I'm tired of watching her get beat up by normal folks. All that training and all them fades she done took. She too good to be constantly getting beat up like that.

    Yeah the only saving grace at this point is for her to somehow bring back all of her past avatar reincarnations in the final fight.

    She could only blood bend in a full moon I believe and I'm not even sure if she knows how to do that.

    I think they're going to break her down even more so when she does turn up, it's going to be epic and with no remorse.

    I'd say this was mostly a filler episode, just a reason to get everyone together & deal with Prince Yu

    This was pretty good for a filler episode man. Bolin and Varrick the Goat tagteam that was clutch ? between the lava and emp. Korra actually kicked ass this episode and held it down for the crew. Kuvira going to get that ass whooped by Toph at the rate she's going.

    Bolin and Varrick held it down for the team and it seems Kuvira really is running ethnic purges.

    I'm suprised Varrick has lasted this long, I thought he would have only been around for season 1 as a "recurring" character, I'm not mad though

    I like the fact that Korra is finding herself in difficult fights. It would be pretty boring to have her walk through everyone she fights. This expands the Avatar world, with benders out there that can give Korra a run for her money, there will always be a backstory in how a particular ? became so good that he/she would even challenge the Avatar. And lets not forget, she was f'd up pretty bad by Zahire last season with the poison, so she still really can't go all out.

    Toph about to experience 4 or 5 moments of epic ether on Kuvira before losing to the "bad-ass master loses due to old age" trope.

    This has been a great season so far. Can't wait for the next ep to see if Toph gets engaged in the conflict. Although I would like to see her kick Kuvira out of the swamp, I wouldn't be surprised if she loses are pretends to lose to get Suyin and her grandkids out of captivity. Korra is being torn down in order for her to have an comeback of epic proportions. I believe we're getting to see why the show is called Legend of Korra. So far, she's pulled off some legendary things, but this season will lead to her gaining balance with herself and who knows what she'll do going forward. Hopefully she'll get her badass finale fight where she unleashes all of her power. Korra vs the Earth Empire Army.

    The closer we get to the ep release the more I think Toph is going to die. She's a legend so that would definitely send everybody in a rage. Would probably scare a lot of people too though.
