And that's why I am not listening to anymore of your replies, Redhollow. I'm just going to ignore your comments from now on. Clearly, you and I should not be conversing.</i></div>
<p>Sounds like a surrender. </p><p>Fair enough. </p><p>Don't complain when others do the same to you. (Notice I'm not whining at the fact that someone isn't listening to me.) </p>

Sort of. Each Air Temple would specialize in certain different approaches to airbending and spirituality in general. Not differing to the point of not being an Air Nomad, just different perspectives, something airbenders are famous for pursuing. While a child would be raised in the temple where he or she was raised, they may find intellectual peers at another temple, and vouch for that faction on their travels, as well as learning their unique subskill.</i></div>
<p>Thing it might be possible for them to learn all of them (like 4 weak Sub skills instead of 1 strong one). </p><p>That could prove extremely effective against an opponent. </p><p>The Northern Air temple, however, didn't look like it recieved any damage from explosions though, so either they didn't use Gas bending (which would make alot of sense) or the Fire nation were extremely careful not to blow up the caverns full of gas beneath. </p><p>Of course, who knows, maybe the mechanic fixed/threw out the burnt stuff. </p>

Yea, I'm looking for reasons earthbenders cannot bend lava that are more rooted in their bending, not why it would be rare due to rarity or danger of volcanos. I can fully accept the latter, but the former irks me so.</i></div>
<p>Understandable. I still believe its both, if that affect anything at all. </p><p>
</p><p>Perhaps we'll see something new in LoK. They've answered alot of questions so far. </p>

<p>Of course Sokka can't be serious even at his own sisters funeral so he turns to Zuko and the others who are still alive and says "Hurry up you guys, you're gonna miss watching Toph attempt to juggle while blindfolded". And so ends Katara's funeral  </p> </i></div>
<p>I find this hilarious. </p><p>
</p><p>And stop saying I hate the original crew Fire Eater, I love them to death. </p><p>Their death means nothing because they will be loved, whether alive, or dead, or after death. What happens in Korra doesn't change what they did in the last series, they will always have a shelf of glory. </p><p>And please stop bringing in God into this, that's offensive to some of the users (namely myself). </p><p>Calling Amon better than Azula isn't dissing Azula. If you can't see that then forget this. </p><p>
</p><p>I don't think they should all pass on to the spirit world, just Aang. Then, through him, the other will live (through memory). Then whenever Korra needs him, Aang can revive them with his connection with them. Kinda like thorugh flashbacks. </p><p>
</p><p>Our heroes fought hard. They need a rest. </p>

Compared with what volcanos do in our own world? Yes, it was a bit neutered.</i></div>
<p>
</p><p>To be fair Boomeraang, Roku did die... And who knows how many lame people/elders/sick people were in the vicinity at the time. </p><p>
</p><p>And the villagers seemed to be prepared for a sudden eruption. Eruptions on earth aren't that bad; Volcanoes in Hawaii erupt nearly on a daily basis. The seriousness of a volcanic eruption usually depends on how prepared the nearby people are.  The avatar world is no different, I'm sure any experienced Earth bender can feel a small vibration under him, giving the signal of an eruption. </p><p>
</p><p>
</p><p>This went a little off topic. Lets head back abit. </p>

So like Students picking a major for College or something?

OK. If you say so.</i></div>
<p>That sounds like you're giving up. If you don't agree, then say so. </p>

<p>Sokka referred to it as "My first girlfriend became the moon." in the prison episode, iirc. </p>

<p>Not by much, they did make one made for each type of person, granted, but the only real change is that they were able to carry smoke bombs, they were remade due to age of the original tools, and perhaps new fabric or something. </p><p>
</p><p>They flew with the same philosophy, and for the same reasons. </p>

Redhollow, you calling me a Korra hater? <p>Let's make one thing clear I hate Korra THE SHOW. Not Korra herself. </p><p>More development in 12 episodes than you could imagine? How much did you imagine then? With the exception of Asami and Tarrlok, I don't see it. </p><p>If Meelo is as you put it hilarious, I have this statue in New York I want to sell you. </p><p>But we almost never saw Korra airbending training! </p><p>Diversity? How about crap? The city looked like crap. </p><p>Better than Azula? Do not talk to me about villains then. </p><p>That wasn't a duel, it was a copout! There's no way Korra's final battle with Amon is better than Sozin's Comet! It wasn't. </p><p>
</p><p>Okay you know what? If you had just listed what you hated about the show, I might be more open, because you and I clearly have different ideas about what was good in the show, what you found good I did not. </p><p>Meelo "hilarious"? Please don't get me going. I've got rants for that little pain the neck that rivals my rants of Mako. </p> </i></div>
<p>Lets hit these one at a time: </p><p>Korra is the center of the whole show. Hating the show is like indirectly dislike her. But fair enough. Point you. </p><p>I imagined they would have ended the first season with barely introducing all the characters and a defeat of a weak opponent. They did a fairly good job in actually managing to get some actual development into some of those characters. </p><p>Dude, Meelo was hilarious. Managing to take on Equalist, literally saying whatever was on his mind, and getting the ladies </p><p>We learned about more that what we already knew. 1 step up the mountain is still progress. </p><p>I'm not talking about race, I mean diversity in plot. The plot could have taken many shapes and sizes based on the new world we were taken to. And how did this city look like crap? Compared to the actual crap and sand people actually lived in in A:TLA? I can't agree with this. Point == Invalid<i> (imo)</i> </p><p>Yes, much better than Azula- she ranks second thought. Azula was more of a dark destructive psychopath. Amon is more of a dark twist person who only wanted to inflict true fear. He actually planned stuff out much more than Azula, who did things more on the spot/over time and knew the definition of accurancy and ruthlessness. </p><p>Granted, Sozin's comet was more epic in battle scenes and etc, I didn't like the lack of a true fight. It was literally a "One second Ozai is pwning, the next Aang wins." The (4 part?) extension was interesting, the Aang/Ozai battle seemed like "Haa!!! Hiya!! No!!!! BOOM AVATAR SWAG!" But the other battles were awesome. </p><p>
</p><p>
</p><p>And I did list what I [disliked]. Hate is a strong term with me. I admit there were some things that just ruined the show, e.g., the love triangle fiasco in the beginning of the series, there really wasn't anything wrong with the show itself. </p><p>
</p><p>Perhaps if you listed what you "hated" in a more organized manner, then we can probably compare more. </p>

<p>(Hands lonathan a sword) Keep fighting. </p><p>
</p><p>But I seriously doubt we'd see any more development. The avatar world probably went through a quick industrial revolution (that was what the FN wanted, to prosper, according to Sozin [Yeah, I believed him!]). </p><p>Next time we might reach a WWII, but I doubt the 21st century thing. Bending would probably be rare in that case, since I'm sure technology would make people lose their spiritual touch with nature, IOW, less people would be bending things. </p>

<p>Ouch. Some one enjoys their fair share of arguments. </p>

For one, the flying bison would most likely be disobeident to them. Also, you have to be an airbender in order to control the gliders.</i></div>
<p>The bison problems goes without saying. But Appa has shown us that they do have a problem with fire (or it might just be him). 1 fire whip is all they really need. </p><p>
</p><p>And as the inhabitants of the northern air temple have shown, any one can glide, regardless of their element. Its just a matter if they want to. </p>

<p>First off, of course they have haters. What character doesn't have haters? Aang definitely had some haters, along with Katara and Zuko. The only people hard to hate were Bumi, Sokka, Momo, Toph, and Appa. Because they were freaking awesome. Korra didn't have too much haters, in fact, I barely noticed that there were, except for you. Mako recieved the most hate out of everyone. </p><p>Therefore, If I didn't see it, I cannot believe it. As far as my eyes and my mind can process, you are the only one standing in your corner. Looks roomy, this side all crapped. </p><p>
</p><p>And as for my reasons: </p><p>- The characters actually managed to get more development in 12 episodes than I imagined. </p><p>- I enjoyed learning about what became of our heroes after the war. </p><p>- Bolin, Meelo, Tenzin, and Bumi were all hilarious. </p><p>- They introduced a truly genius antagonist. Better than all the antagonist I've seen in this series yet. </p><p>- The new technology and new stories allowed for more diverisity plot wise. </p><p>- We got to see how Air benders train, more or less. </p><p>- More Air benders. </p><p>- Answers to questions that were left incomplete at the end of the original series. </p><p>- More usage of energy bending. </p><p>- Nice art/scenery. </p><p>- The series had a battle that I considered far better than the original final battle, and the series was only half way done at the time. Its okay that the ending was rushed for Korra, it was quite eventful either way, but I refuse to accept that Aang's battle was rushed. </p><p>- A new threat with more of a passive-agressive cause, but still proved to be dangerous. </p><p>- An actual showcase of an Air bending wanting to hurt his enemy. </p><p>- Asami was cute. </p><p>- Much older cast. </p><p>- Iroh(-man) </p><p>- Amon had the most interesting background story of any enemy I've seen so far in the series. </p><p>- Different usage of Metal bending. </p><p>- Voice acting (Loved how Iroh sounded exactly like Zuko) </p><p>- The mystery the show gave, made me ask alot of questions and look at things in a new light. </p><p>These are just a few points that I liked. </p><p>
</p><p>My problems were: </p><p>- Mako </p><p>- Mako </p><p>- Mako </p><p>- Rushed episodes (although eventful, I didn't like that the creators were only given 24-26 episodes only to squeeze 2 seasons into them). </p><p>- That scare when you learn that Korra could lose her bending, made the whole show seem pointless if she lost her bending. </p><p>- The romance trash (e.g., Mako...) </p><p>- Did I mention Mako? </p><p>- Most of our beloved original cast died. </p><p>- How they took powerful abilites like Lightning bending and made it ridiculously common. </p><p>- Amon was abit too powerful; I really doubted Korra would have done anything to stop him until the very end. </p><p>- Lack of Zuko, Bumi, etc. </p><p>- Some characters like Iroh came at last second, which probably goes under the rushed plot. </p><p>
</p><p>And really, these are my only problems. </p>

Nice theory, Redhollow. But I do see some flaws.</i></div>
<p>Do tell, then good sir. </p>

<p>Well they can, have been seen, bending  another gas (e.g., Carbon dioxided), so... yeah. </p><p>
</p><p>I still like Critic's idea of different sub skills. </p>

<div class="quote"><i>The Air Nomad Critic wrote:
Thankfully volcanic eruptions in the Avatar world seem just a bit neutered.</i></div>
<p>The one on Roku's island was bad. It was literally inspired off Mt. Karaktoa, a freaking super volcano (well, a small, but still horribly dangerous volcano). The shaking could be felt from, what was it, a hundred miles away or something? That doesn't sound neutered. </p>

<p>That's not a very good reason to unfollow a page. If anything that's admitting defeat, which in my eyes, is unacceptable. </p><p>
</p><p>And ZukTara, I'd love to see Sokka with an afro while dancing on a disco club, I doubt anything would change this hilarious image in my head into something negative. </p>

Didn't Yue become the moon?

Too much free time on hand, I guess. <p>But whatever. And no, I'm not that stupid, I wasn't implying that. Okay, yes you might interpret it as that but that's not what I meant. I know they're not the focus of the new series, but damn it, if they were going to give us a crappy sequel, how about giving us a cast that could make it watchable? This is a major step down from Team Avatar, these new guys are just not likable or not effective heroes. Save for Asami who actually is the only protagonist I am truly impressed by. And Korra herself is one I do root for, but as an Avatar she's far from being a full-fledged one. And you already know my stance on the guys, who all by themselves sink the whole ship, none more so than Mako. Point is, they killed off most of the Team solely for paving way for this new cast and for no other reason, thinking we were too stupid and sentimental to be able to embrace the idea of a new cast unless they went to the extreme and killed the old cast altogether to force us to play along with this new setup. And in the end we got a cast a good number of fans clearly hate. I'm not seeing love for Mako or Bolin, I'm seeing mostly haters. And the girls are pretty polarizing to some, even though Asami gets probably the most sympathy of the four. Still, Team Avatar was replaced by a cast a good number of people seem to really hate as of late. So Bryke tell me, was it worth it? </p><p>And I absolutely refuse to call this new team the New Team Avatar. As far as I'm concerned, they're to be called The Krew, that's the fanon name and I'm sticking to it. These guys have not proven themselves worthy of the title of "Team Avatar" as far as I'm concerned. </p><p>It's two birds shot with one stone, they killed off all our favorites just for the new cast (Even though Aang was the only one who really had to die to make this work) and now we're stuck with a couple of protagonists nobody's impressed by. Bravo to you Bryke, bravo. And bravo to the idiot who only gave them 12 episodes to work with and with it zero room for positive character development. Some "replacements" these guys turned out to be. </p> </i></div>
<p>Dude, what fanbase have you seen? </p><p>People love Bolin, Korra, and Asami. The majority of the hatred has been directed towards Mako, since he's the cause of the annoying romance stuff. </p><p>And they had 24 episodes, we only saw 12 episodes, which is alittle too soon. They way you say this, I'm assuming you liked the original episode in the first 10 episode. </p><p>
</p><p>And I don't mind the show, infact, I like it. It's an interesting approach to a sequel and quite frankly, I haven't seen anything like it. I'd give what I've seen a good 7.5/10. </p><p>
</p><p>And the original show wasn't perfect either. The ending disppointed me abit. The Aang/Ozai scenes were too short and Ozai was horribly over powered.  </p><p>
</p><p>But if you still insist on not giving the show, a show that literally started just yesterday and has had no time to develop, a chance, then you can join the Unfollowing club. </p>
