All I know is, the trailer shows lava being bent, but it doesn't show by who. Could be the Avatar, could be a firebender and and earthbender working in tandem. It does show Korra metalbending, what looks like Dai Li agents, a lady with an eye tattoo on her forehead doing the combustion man thing to cars chasing behind her, 1 second of Zuko, some spirits, the Earth Queen, and what looks like a Fire Nation city designed like the Sydney Opera House. Among other interesting things.

Maybe they will get back into the origin of bending and why people seem to only be able to do one to possibly give way to benders who can do two.

Since frankly the series' implication was that bending wasn't an innate force but rather something that was learned and passed on.

[WillowLuman]

Well, maybe the sudden influx of spirits into the world has made some things possible.

[Neonivek]

either that or the creator meant that both Earth AND Firebending works on lava.

I really must catch up on Korra so I can watch this happening o_o

I mean, I go back and re-watch The Beach, The Runaway, and The Western Air Temple just to see Combustion Man do his thing.

I just finished rewatching the old Star Wars Clone Wars series.  There are a pair of videos on YouTube that compile both seasons into an hour-long mini-movie each, they're really good.  Remind me a lot of Samurai Jack, in fact.  Only problem: if Clone Wars covers the entire span of time from Episode II to Episode III, where the hell does the new series fit in?

That series is non-canon, like literally everything else that isn't the movies and the new series.

Friggin lucasfilm ruining everyone's fun. Canon doesn't exist for nothin but religion >_<

So watching legend of Korra

and I must say... WOW do I not understand people's dislike of the extra woman of the love triangle.

Unless she gets REALLY bland later on (or loses her personality)... so far she seems more relatable and compatible to the love interest then Korra is. If anything it feels like the relationship between him and Korra is forced.

Whelp... Now time to watch more and see exactly how bad it gets... because I assume that people who watch Legend of Korra are rational human beings and aren't just picking on this woman because "she sits between Korra and her One True Love". Also no that isn't sarcasm... I've never heard anyone say "Well it isn't like Korra really is all that likable for him". (Sadly I already know who I'd want Korra to get with... but I know it isn't going to happen because he is the Sokka replacement)

Also I love the Police Constable. I know it is silly but I always loved characters who never give into the hype, especially when it is so irrational. Like Professor Snape... I know the movies REALLY REALLY tones down Harry Potter's celebritism and thus Snape comes off as being an arse for no reason, but the books hammer it in every other scene. I just like that she isn't all "Ohhh your the Avatar WOW! Well now I am going to take your opinion over all others out of no merit of your own!" instead she is all "Well sorry, I am going to treat you like everyone else and so far you have done nothing but cause trouble and be a snot... so that is how I am going to treat you"

Also sorry it will take me a while to memorize names.

Edit: Ok I see it now... Not Isumi being "so bland why the heck does he go out with her" but in terms of DEAR GOODNESS do they concentrate on this trite love triangle. Cause... I REALLY don't care who gets together with who. There is no weight in their relationships so why is this such a big plot point?

Edit 2: Ohh now I understand the parody I've seen years earlier. It wasn't because "Korra is so great and Isumi is so nothing" it is because dear goodness does the guy NEVER EVER compliment Isumi or talk about how he likes her. Korra has somehow become a Mary Sue like character >_<

[WillowLuman]

Believe me, there are people who hate Asami for being in the way of their "One True Pair." And again, it's exactly as bad as in Harry Potter fandom. The whole triangle is somewhat poorly executed later on, though.

Speaking of Korra, third season is still going strong, and we're 5 episodes in. Already surpassed the second, which started to falter by that point plus...

Lin apparantly has a sister (and nieces and nephews!) and Toph may still be alive somewhere...

[Neonivek]

Right now my real complaint about the Love Triangle is they are trying to establish romantic relationships before we really established character or emotional stakes. Which the show focuses too much on. What, I feel, it should have focused on was trying to establish their relationships more subtly over a longer period of time.

I think the reason for this was because they honestly thought season 1 could have been their last season. So they probably hammered in, what was supposed to be over 4 seasons, into 1.

So the whole "we hate Asami" thing is pretty much isolated to the "one true pair" thing?

---

Also time is VERY difficult to get a grasp of in this show. In some scenes it is winter, in others it is fall, and in others still it is spring or summer... and yet the implication is all of these events have been occurring relatively close to each other.

Is Capital City have daily changing seasons or something?

My only explanation is that the show is taking place in early fall. Not enough for leaves to fall off trees, but enough that it snows at night and is warm during the day.

Ohhh my gawd... I'd TOTALLY would watch a whole episode of Nuktuk the hero of the south. I just love the camp factor.

Finished Season 2 and... I liked it.

It took a while to get going... but honestly I thought it was pretty good.

To admit I thought the complexity could have been handled better... a lot better (honestly part of me feels like this season was a third of the depth it could have had... The Spirits were handled, to admit badly to some extent.)

Is King Star King any good?

Actually the one part I liked about it is

Lin doesn't just recover from her irrationalities. She actually has some faults that stick with her.

As for Star King... dunno I'll check

[Duuvian]

It's actually King Star King. Star King is apparently a Korean TV production according to Google.

I have King Star King to autorecord but other people turn the TV receiver off at night so I can't seem to capture it.

That is REALLY confusing.

Why are they putting it online... and then making a season 4? Is this essentially a TV haitus and they will put it back once season 4 is ready?

Especially since Season 3 is pretty strong... well so far... I can't say I've never seen a season of a TV show turn to garbage last second.
