I fall more in love with Korra with every episode. She was lost, and scared. OMG, Korra, COME LET ME GIVE YOU A HUG!
I like Asami, and think she and Mako are very cute. That said, she and Korra need to become friends ASAP so that we can avoid a tedious love triangle.
Tenzin being a good father-figure to Korra was wonderful.
Lin has SCARS ON HER FACE. AND? SHE JOINED THE POLICE FORCE AFTER HER MOTHER, OMG.
HOW INCREDIBLY HOT WERE TOPH, SOKKA AND AANG IN THE FLASHBACK? I WANT MORE BACKSTORY NOW.

- Asami- so pretty! and such effectiveness in the pickup of the pretty fire bender I salute you! tho the timing was a bit too fortunate for me and I have a feeling there will be more there. The Makorra bleaters can go bleat in the other corner tho IDGAF
- Tenzin - here I disagree with you actually. I don't think he's handling her very well which tbf is probably down to her extreme case of teenager-ness. But what did rub me wrong was that after the showdown, the first question he asks is about her bending! like seriously tenzin if a 16 yo girl was incapacitated by a whole gang of thugs that's not the first fear I'd have.
- THE FLASHBACKKKKK - WHY ARE YOU A COP TOPH WHY I CANNOT COMPREHEND WHAT HAPPENED!!! ALSO SOKKA WHY ARE YOU ALL >:( ARE YOU PART OF THE BENDER / NON-BENDER CONFLICT AND IF SO :'((((( (ALSO FUCKING AANG HOW YOU GET SO HOT)
IN SHORT FEELINGS ALL THE FEELINGS

Elaborate? I thought he did a good job calming her down. Children's show = no discussion of rape/sexual assault, but I did feel Amon threatening to take her ~bending had creepy, sexual assault-y vibes to it. 'Taking someone's bending' itself is so problematic - it's a fundamental violation of someone, even if it is done by the Avatar to a war criminal like Ozai. Is it okay to away the bending of a criminal, as Amon did? Or is it only okay if it is done by the Avatar?
IDK why Toph is a cop, but I bet there's a hilarious backstory to it. OMG, also, HOW SO HOT, ALL OF THEM BUT ESPECIALLY AANG?

Date: 2012-05-01 05:44 am (UTC)All this opening Korra's eyes about how privileged and clueless she is, again, is very very interesting with respect to the Avatar's divine right/responsibility. A non-bender cannot be the Avatar, because a non-bender does not have control over the elements. This is not a debate. The Equalists OTOH are bringing up precisely those questions about such divine right and natural abilities which are rational (and justified) and perhaps a product of their newfound 'modernity'... Ok this is not making sense, but you get what I mean?
