Yeah, power levels got a bit absurd in comicbooks and superhero stories, but same goes for most power fantasy media. How many planets could Goku blow up at once? :P

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

I don't know... The Avatar is so unstoppable that any "enlightened" avatar is basically unbeatable.

In the context of the Avatar series, yes.

Well.. of course.

It was one of the things that disapointed me really. I expected someone to find some way to stand up to the Avatar... but they are basically onto a god.

Well yeah, that's exactly what the Avatar is.  Hence the name.  If I recall correctly, they're the avatar of the spirit of the planet.

The Avatar as I remember correctly is supposed to be the Envoy between people and spirits and as such he has the ability to envoke all four elements.

In fact though I am probably wrong... I think the Avatar state doesn't give him any extra powers at all... it just allows him to access the collective skills from all the previous avatars.

Just finished Korra.

How is there supposed to even be a second season? They just tied up all the loose plot points really well. Any gripes I had with it so far were pretty much resolved.

Well what about the fact that there are no air benders anymore? or did they resolve that?

(Note that the show isn't EXACTLY sure if Bending is a skill or Talent... It seems to be both. In theory there could be more air benders)

The kitchenette mold free, you move on to the pantry. it's nasty in there. The bacon is grazing on the lettuce. The ham is having an illicit affair with the prime rib, The potatoes see all, know all. A rat in boxer shorts smoking a foul smelling cigar is banging on a cabinet shouting about rent money.

Well, they originally only planned for one season, so it makes sense that it could stand on it's own. I imagine they'll have to introduce a new nemesis for season two.

Just one 12-episode season? I thought it was originally a longer season and they just ended up having to split it in two.
