Legend of Korra thread 2: Would you do it for a Bosco Snack?

Discussion in 'Space Battles' started by Fell, Apr 20, 2012.

  1. Eh. I felt like Amon was too omnipresent to hang around. If they wanted him to be a longer term enemy, Korra would have had to be much more involved in regular Republic City stuff. Amon showed up earlier enough and pretty much completely took over the show outside of the little bit with Tarrlock. To keep him around he would have had to not show up until pretty far into Season One (after the equalists were established as a threat).

    Were I writing it, though, I would have had the Tournament go on much longer, and had the Triads and Gangs be the first round of major foes. The equalists would be implied to simply be another gang, until (dramatic twist) Amon shows up and reveals their true goal. And then end the season with the attack on the Stadium and the end of the Tournament.

    Edit: But then again, I would also have done the show as an hour long Drama targeted at older audiences, rather than a Saturday Morning Cartoon.
  2. I like the no man's land idea. The Fire Ferrets are caught in a gang war following some major disaster (natural or otherwise). I would assume that some remnant of the Equalists would stick around as a fifth gang for the city.

    Comedy Amon, the leading cause of Suicide in the Avatar Verse.
  5. Luke Danger That would be so cool if it wasnt going to hurt us

    I want to put that on my sig so bad... but I don't have room. :(
  6. Great now I want to see how the equalists would be as a command and conquer faction.Its not like Tesla coils would be out of their reach after all.

    Roku was hardly a "commoner" even if he didn't know it. It would be simple for whomever is training Sozin (presumably the best of the fire benders) to be tasked with training Roku. If the family needed a certain station to explain that then the Fire Lord could simply give it to them.

    BEST. COMEDY. AMON. YET!!!

  11. Teen Spirit Clone Murderer

    At this point I suspect that they (the creators of avatar) probably could have gotten away with something along the lines of the Nice boat incident if they wanted. I mean we did just see the Lieutenant get killed by having his organs crushed, A man torture wolves and his own brother and father, A murder-suicide, and our Heroine clearly contemplating suicide.
  12. BobTheNinja Wandering Through Cyberspace

    I don't know about that last part. I mean yeah, I'm sure Korra was pretty devastated by losing most of her powers, but she seems too strong-willed to consider to suicide. That's my take anyway.
  13. Hectonkhyres Impressed with Florida Man's Work Ethic

    It was magnificent... but I don't trust anything we are shown at this point. There is going to be some sort of crazyfuck twist coming out of this. That production staff is smart enough to always leave a few really nice loose ends and I'm sure that we can only see half of them right now.
  14. Teen Spirit Clone Murderer

    Here's the thing. Korra defines herself by her bending, her Amon nightmare sequence a mid-way through the season shows that she thinks she would be nothing without her bending. Also she might have thought doing it was a service to the world since it needs an avatar that's all powerful, in her mind it might have been better to wait almost 2 decades for another avatar who would be fully powered then to risk another century or so with one that could only airbend.
  15. firefossil I have charts. Lots of charts.

    Anyone feel like the equalist movement really revolved around Sato? Its not as if Amon can equipbend and trainbend an army into existence.
  16. Silveraith Argentum Phasma Phasmatis

    Amon was made all their plans and strategies as well as recruited everyone for the Equalist cause. Sato merely made then a credible threat to benders.
  17. foamy Prodigal

    If either of them weren't there, the Equalists would have floundered. Sato doesn't have Amon's existential threat to benders on a personal level. I could see him taking the poor man's route and going Final Solution on benders, but that ain't gonna fly on Nickleodeon.

  18. Have nothing to say in here except that the series is awesome minus the home wrecking.
  19. Imperator Pax Talon Master

    I'm not reading the fucking last 17 pages, fuck that noise.

    Avatar went down hill after Season 2, Season 3 was a piece of shit, just like the last 3 episodes of Korra. This show has shit for production quality control, fuck it. Like the best damn part of the series was mako going haha fuck you sith lightning bitch to Amon in the hallway. Also the Amon is actually a bender fuck all your equalist hoohah your movement is complete bullshit that was awesome too.
  20. foamy Prodigal


    Man, you're crazy.
  21. Imperator Pax Talon Master

    Actually I forgot something Tarlok blowing the boat that too was awesome.
  22. ShadowPhoenix Dark Lord of Shadows

    are you like incredibly peeved or just on an overly excited rant?
  23. I'm not convinced Amon is dead. Not until I see a body, anyways.
  24. Silveraith Argentum Phasma Phasmatis

    Agreed.
