Legend of Korra: The End is Near

I'm sorry that I have been away from my blog for so long. I've been caught up between colorguard stuff, final exams, and other stuff that I should be doing instead of updating my blog. I discovered the awesomeness of Aimachi, DCI (which I never knew existed) in the meantime worry about my school band (which has been falling into the craps this past year) and the colorguard (which has been doing really good for the past 3 years and is just about to get a whole lot better :)  But I'll come back to this guardie fandom tomorrow.
Main subject:

KORRA IS SEASON FINALE IS COMING IN 4 EFFING DAY WTF

Now if you are tumblr person, the fandom has probably gotten on your effing nerves by now with all their nonsense.

Makorra VS Masami VS Borra VS TAHNORRA

...........................................Doesn't anyone care about the main plot anymore? Lol

All jokes aside, unlike the original Avatar, the relationship tensions are more apparent in this show. While Borra has been out of action for a while, anything can happen relationship wise for the show's characters. Or it could be like the original show, not bring up the topic for a another season. Then these guys:
Can do this:
Which they have probably been doing since the show has begun to air.


It's official, these guys are the most creative trolls there is.

And they know it:

Bryan Konietzko, the co-creator drew this:



At least they know ;)

So no, no one knows how it ends on a relationship level. Who knows, damn fan girls are way too into this. Masami is obviously going to hit the end Makorra wins, or they don't tell us until next season because we all know Bryke and the guy-with-a-long-last-name are trolls.

Anyway so we basically know that Amon vs. Korra is going to be a game of tag. We also know Amon is going to bloodblend or chiblock Mako and he is going to try take away Korra's bending. We all know Korra bending isn't going to be taken away nor will anything mad happen to the pair. You know why? IT'S AN EFFING KIDS SHOW, THERE MUST BE AN EFFING HAPPY ENDING....or we can all pray that they don't wham with a troll mode.

Predictions?

  1. We are going to see the end of Masami
  2. Asami is going to go through serious issues in Skeleton in the Closet. She is not use to being poor and won't take the challenge lightly. 
  3. I see a focus on the Satos and their family problems and their alliegances to be seen quite soon
  4. Bolin has yet to see the light of serious dialogue for a couple episodes, I think we might see some
  5. Lin? No bending? Na-uh honey, she is going to have a comeback soon

6. Oh and they are going to kill off a character (like Jet) cuz this is Bryke we are talking about
7. Korra is going to have some damn breakthrough and finally airbends (I mean duh, Chapter 1: Air)
8. General Iroh? He might be the one they kill  *sniff sniff* I smell epic battle scene
9. I need to get a life so let end with nine.


The creators also have said that they are going to answer some unanswered questions surrounding Toph, Sokka, Katara, Aang and Zuko. Oh really? I bet you guys, they are going to answer two or three questions and then leave us with thousands for next season.

My questions:

  1. Whose Lin's dad
  2. Why does Lin has her mom's last name
  3. Wtf wit Zuko's Mom
  4. Where the hell is Zuko
  5. Where are Kataang's Kids (besides Bumi, who we shall see as he is a member of the United Forces)

Don't troll us now, Bryke. DONT TROLL US NOW!


P.S Thank you guys for sparking up my stats so high. It's never been this high before and I am super thankful.

Legend of Korra: Initial Review

I feel like search a nerd, but I really have fallen in love with Legend of Korra.

Before you say eww, I love Avatar: The Last Airbender. I downloaded most of the episodes of season 3 onto my phone and tablet to watch over and over. I don't have as much love the other seasons though so I am not a hardcore fan. I hated Season 2. But it's one of the few shows I've watched from start to finish and I also watched Avatar Extras from start to finish.

Legend of Korra, unlike Avatar is already shown its target audience is not the younger crowd but older Avatar Lovers and with the first 3 episodes it's fanbase has already exploaded! Don't believe me? Go on Tumblr, Deviantart, or google search Legend of Korra. It's insane.

 I love the initial appeal of the season. Compare to Season 1 of Avatar: The Last Airbender, the first 3 episodes are much stronger but yet to be appealing toward an older audience and building up from things the audience loved from the original series. For one, Korra is nothing like Aang. If anything she is like Toph the most but has a blend of Katara and Suki within. She might be like Katara by conditioning. *spoiler* She was trained in waterbending by Katara. It is also easily able to see they took the Zukatara relationship EVERYONE was waiting to see and manipulated to our enjoyment. We should expect another love-triangle for the girls. But for the boys we'll see a LOT of action. Korra has a lot of boyish characteristics which benefits the genre of the show.


Now some Fangirl Talk *spoilers ahead*
I was actually upset with the drawings of characters in first two episodes. I felt Korra's shape did not fit the one of a cartoon girl. Then I forgave it because it was more realistic and more positive for the general audience. A girls aren't always as skinny as Katara. Besides Korra looks more feminine in Episode 3 anyway (somehow, someway idk)
I also didn't love Mako as much as I loved Zuko. But I shall also forgive that. Zuko was not even good looking until season 2, then he became a hunk in Season 3. Mako is good looking as Season 1. He shall become a hunk very soon.

I really enjoy the 3rd episode of Legend of Korra. It litterally has you on the edge of your seat waiting for the next episode. I watched a preview of the episode and I was on the edge of my seat for 3 hours waiting for the oppertunity of this episode and soon after I went on tumblr. THE FANGIRLS ARE ON FIRE.

One fangirl posted her notes on that episode:

Revelations
  • The morning is EVIL
  • “Looks like the little love bird is making a house call”
  • and Mako’s just like lol no Bolin you can’t do that MUST GO TO AIR TEMPLE ISLAND TO INTERFERE
  • At least that’s the way my shipper mind is interpreting it
  • Have I mentioned that Bolin and Pabu are adorable
  • Uhhhh Mako
  • Mako lightning-bending
  • Thank you, Bryke, for making any other male, fictional or not, pale in comparison to the beauty that is Mako
  • Also,
  • I WAS RIGHT BOLIN AND MAKO USED TO DO SOME KIND OF WORK FOR THE TRIPLE THREAT TRIADS
  • Korra and Mako fell asleep on each other
  • Notice how Korra fully has the sleepy face on and screams as she leaps back?
  • Notice how Mako doesn’t? 
  • Headcanon: Mako was already awake but didn’t want to wake Korra up. 
  • Oh, the holding on to Mako’s arm thing?
  • C’mon, we all know that was completely unnecessary
  • I mean, they broke apart when they got to the bouncer person
  • So what was the point of that?
  • Korra and Mako being all touchy, obviously
  • Why is Amon such a popstar diva?
  • I think Bolin and Mako fight like they’re in the Probending Arena too much. As in, their bending is too controlled, and fighting in the real world requires versatility
  • Korra, on the other hand… has no control or tactics at all
  • But that’s the whole point of the series: the Avatar learning and mastering the elements and all their aspects
  • I should probably come back to write more on my thoughts when I’m not fangirling over Makorra

I agree with her to certain points. Bullet #3 made no sense. He went to the air temple after haven't seeing Bolin for hours. But it does make you see where a certain plotline is going. Bolin likes Korra. Korra likes Mako. But if Mako does like Korra, he will be obligated to his brother to give a chance with Korra no matter how much he likes her. Mako is always protecting his brother. We'll see a lot of disputes between Mako and Bolin because Mako cares too much. We also realize that bending feats from 100 years ago, are very common. But despite that Mako can lightning bend, his firebending sucks compare to ones like Korra, Zuko, Azula, and Aang. He lacks a strong background in traditional martial arts. And he's weaker than Korra, a major negative. Eventually Bolin and Mako are going to need some serious training. I watch the Headcanon part a couple of times before I could confirm my thoughts. Mako, doesn't seem like he was fully asleep when they wake up. Her opinion may be true.  Mako obviously has some childhood trauma, he might be a light sleeper. Either way, there is no way he didn't know she fell asleep on his shoulder. 

I'm very deeply waiting to see the psychological outcomes of Mako. Seeing his parents killed is something deep. I feel like Mako and Bolin are descendants of that mayor from Avatar: Promise (if you guys read the comics). 

Thank you tumblr fan girls for noticing this. This episode definitively got me in frenzies. All the Makorra moments…when Ikki and Jinora were teasing Korra and and and when they fell alseep on each other and woke up all embarrassed and and and and the scarf and the arm grab

I think all this Makkorra stuff is what got me. I was such a zukatara fan, this is so similar to it. Plus Mako is Korra's foil, omg I am in love. 

Plus Avatar always make me want to learn martial arts and tone up my body. Maybe I'll do it, before it's too late, this year :)
