I think I might have hurt something, I was laughing so hard at this. I pity the foo' that expects Meelo to run a lemonade stand, let alone a spiritual temple of elemental power.
Well, it is entirely possible he'll be saner when he grows up. BTW, am I the only one who thinks Meelo is cute?
Sozin also lived a pretty long time, if I remember right. Where are we getting that almost everyone is dead from? The only ones confirmed dead are Aang and Sokka, I think.
Yes. Well, for me anyway. I think he's a prime example of why the Equalists exist; he's an arse. A little arse, but still an arse.
Based on the next two episodes descriptions I think we will have a pretty good idea based on the previews what will happen.
Smoking? Naw, too "firebendy" for that ol' gal. A hardcore sake drinking, messy, foul-mouthed, tatooed ass-kickin' granny makes more sense. I'm still reeling from the idea that some lucky smuck managed to convince Toph to have sex with him. I imagine whoever it was never knew what hit him.
Dude, Toph is one of the greatest hot amazons ever created, right up there with Buffy Summers, Black Canary, Power Girl, She-Hulk, Wonder Woman, Samus Aran, and, as of now, Korra herself. Sex with a statuesque, buxom, ripped woman with superpowers is always awesome!
You know, I was browsing around that little "Explore Republic City" game (Infodump, the game!) on the Nick site, and you know what I learned about the Republican council? It's made up of five representatives from the Fire Nation, the Earth Kingdom, the Northern Water Tribe, the Southern Water Tribe, and the Air Nomads, with one rep each. (Tarrlok is the representative of the Northern Water Tribe.) . . . How the bloody hell do you get a functioning nation state from that?! This county's entire leadership is formed around sectarian differences based off of other countries.
It's a New York-looking Athens city built in an industrial revolution setting, founded by a guy who spent 70 years locked in an ice cube and woke up to stop a war and bring World Peace before he was 18. You expect him to know anything about running a greek citystate?
No, but I expect the people around him go, "Uh, boss? Maybe having this new nation's leadership have loyalties split between every other nation isn't such a good idea?"
I'm presuming it was necessary political maneuvering in order to get the city built, and operate independently. You have to have an even spread of nationalities in order for the various nations to go along with it, and this is what he picked.
Was he supposed to do something else? The Earth Kingdom wouldn't have allowed the Fire Nation to run it, the Fire Colonies clearly do not assent to Earth Kingdom rule of land that they've been living on for almost 100 years or the entire reason for this happening, you know, wouldn't have. And if it's supposed to be multicultural and beyond the separation of nations, why don't the water tribe have a say in it's operation? The only other choice everyone would have accepted is Aang himself running things. What the fuck other choices were there?
Plus there's probably some sort of popular assembly. I mean, even absolute monarchs had to delegate stuff.
I'm pretty sure Puberty hit about halfway through Season 1, actually. ("The Fortuneteller", to be exact)
Oh, I imagine once she figured out what sex was, it became rather difficult to keep her away from it. Same thing with alcohol and swearing. What I want to know is, how is that a REPUBLIC anything!? Who chooses these people? Why do the two water tribes get a representative but the dozens of little earth kingdoms only get one between them? Why is one councilman a representative of a nation that consists entirely of himself, his wife, and this three mutant offspring?
