It wasn't semi-suicide. Convenient? He's known how to lightning bend since book 1. Complaining about him using his powers is stupid.

Aang eventually had to do it which is how he got access to the Avatar State again. Shouldn't every fully realized avatar other than Korra had done the same?

Nah, Aang unlocked the avatar state because he got hit in the back by Ozai's assault, triggering his chakra or something. He never let go of his love for Katara, nor for his ambition to rebuild the Air Nation.

Also, keep in mind flight was thought to be a myth; not actually possible. Only Zaheer believed it could be done.

She also rallied the other airbenders to use a perfectly sound strategy while everyone was making "Oh no!" faces.

She's been portrayed as intelligent and wise beyond her years since the beginning though, and is the only master Airbender who isn't crippled at the moment.

Ming Hua waste vested due to environmental advantage being flipped on its head. Ghazan was by far a better bender than either brother and lost because reasons.

He lost because Mako blindsided him and the brothers ganged up on him. Actually, he really lost because in a moment of panic he decided to bring the cave down rather than risk going back to prison.

Even weakened, Korra was still a powerful avatars. Also while Zaheer was in the defensive, he didn't shit himself like Ozai did.

Probably because Zaheer isn't a coward, while Ozai, despite his power, is. Korra was still a powerful avatar sure, but not nearly as powerful as Aang was. By feats Ozai is probably stronger than Korra using the Avatar State.

I loved how berserk Korra was in the Avatar State. Aang always had a sort of otherworldliness to him when using it, but Korra went full on beast mode.

Aura and I talked about this in Skype. Korra's usage of it, while very different from Aang, fits her more. Aang was in a perpetual meditative state and basically just floated around, pulling the elements to him to shield him and letting the shield do most of the fighting (Aura likened it to him trying to shield himself from the outside world and the pain it causes). Korra on the other hand was unrelentingly physical and savage; in constant motion, trying to destroy all that would harm her.

Also it showed off her big biceps pretty well. I liked. 👆

So ****in' sexy. <3

She like most water benders has a limited amount of water to deal with and since heat evaporates the water that is a problem for Ming-Hua. And Ghazan was blindsided.

He was able to evaporate the very limited amount of water Ming-Hua had to use. Without said water Ming-Hua is a five foot tall armless chick.

He was able to tag Ghazan with a cheap shot.

Doesn't change the fact that Ghazan still got jobbered.

She solidly beat him the first time they fought though. Then again she was able to resupply her water in that so I guess that's okay. But my issue is with Mako suddenly being better even though his skill in the finale doesn't match up to his skill throughout the season.

Nah, he didn't. Being unable to walk through cheapshots and then easily beat two of the strongest benders in the world (It can't be denied anymore) isn't jobbing.

That actually makes sense. Mako had gotten used to Ming-Hua's style of fighting. Ming-Hua got used to Mako's as well but was still surprised by the lightning due to Mako not spamming it.

I shouldn't have double posted but whatever.

I already addressed my fault in P'li in the huge text wall on the previous page. I'm not talking about Mako's ability to use it, I'm criticizing the fact that he didn't use it sooner or more often in the season even though he used it casually in season 1.

Aang has already begun to unlock the chakras during the season 2 finale of TLA. He even apologizes before doing it.

Not saying that Aang should've jsut started flying like Superman but he should've gained the potential to do it.

Well all know that she's a sharp kid but as far as the Season 3 finale is concerned, she might as well have been a friggin sage. Either that or the adults around her are less insightful that I thought.

It's still dumb but I'll just take your word for it.

That was joke made to point out Zaheer>>>Ozai because he wasn't a coward.

As soon as they fell in the cavern, Mako was on the defensive and got lucky enough to get out of the water and into a position where he could use lightning. He was not winning that fight up until the moment he won. If that makes sense.

it was cool to see that even in AS, the chracter keeps their personality. Aang in AS was more of a "I wanna end this conflict as quickly as possible", Korra was just enraged and wrecking shit, like Wolverine berserker mode.

oh, and Korra had some pretty crazy durability feats in that fight.

Yeah. She can really take a pounding.

I don't get it.

Of course you don't.

I'll explain it in code:

'In your window.'

It means in an abusive relationship that Korra will rationalize staying because she is tough and can take it.

There guys. I've made your joke uncomfortable.

It's not necessarily abusive, the usage of pounding can also suggest that she can really take that dick well.

Some can handle it big, some can not thus in several lyrics in hip hop they reference to pounding that pussy which doesn't mean beating the girl up but beating her vagina up.

Now, it's uncomfortable.

I'm not uncomfortable with domestic abuse. 🙄

that's because you're a masochist and the beatings your girlfriend deliver turn you on.

GET OUT OF MY MIND, MENTALIST!
