GOOD JOB DEAR SIR/MADAM, FLAMEO.
THE FIRST THING THAT SPRUNG TO MY FACE WAS THE LOVECHILD OF NO FACE AND AN OFFICE PLANT. WAN'S CAT-DEER IS PROBABLY AN OFFSPRING OF WATCHMEN'S BUBASTIS AND THE CUTE DEER FELLA FROM MONONOKE HIME

WELL DONE!

I WAS ALSO GETTING A MUSHI VIBE OFF OF A LOT OF THE NONSENTIENT THINGS IN THE FOREST (HTTP://MUSHISHI.WIKIA.COM/WIKI/CATEGORY:MUSHI_SPECIES) BUT YEAH, I ALMOST FELT LIKE IT WAS AN HOMAGE TO MIYAZAKI.

ALSO, PLEASE ENLIGHTEN A NON-NATIVE SPEAKER: WHO WAS WAN (COINCIDENCE IT SOUNDS LIKE "ONE"?) REFERRING TO AS THE OPPRESSORS IN PT. 1? I'M CONSTANTLY UNDERSTANDING "JEWS".

isora_kazul9 October 20 2013, 22:48:47 UTC

I THINK HE'S SAYING "CHEWS," LIKE A FAMILY NAME. THOUGH A REALLY WEIRD ONE. 'CAUSE HE SAYS THE "CHEW BROTHERS" AT SOME POINT, METHINKS.

tunxeh October 20 2013, 22:54:10 UTC

MY GUESS AT SPELLING = CHU. POSSIBLY NOT A COINCIDENCE THAT ONE GROUP OF HISTORICAL RULERS OF CHINA WERE THE MANCHUS?

silvertongue1 October 20 2013, 23:11:27 UTC

YEAH. THE NAME WAS "CHU", AS IN "CHU FAMILY".

NEGL, I'M CONVINCED THAT BRYKE TOOK ALL THEIR EFFORT AND PUT IT INTO THESE TWO EPISODES. I CAN ONLY PRAY THE REST OF THE EPISODES HAVE EVEN HALF THE AWESOME THESE TWO DID (PREFERABLY WITH MORE GIRLS, BC LACK OF GIRLS IS MY ONLY REAL COMPLAINT WITH THE SPECIAL).

call_me_ishmael October 21 2013, 02:11:14 UTC

YEAH THESE TWO EPS ARE THE ONLY ONES I'D SAY WERE ACTUALLY GOOD. THE REST HAVE BEEN MEH OR OUTRIGHT ANNOYING.

I NOTICED THE LACK OF LADIES TOO AND WONDERED IF IT WAS JUST ME--NICE TO HEAR IT WASN'T. THIS ENTIRE SEASON SEEMS TO HAVE WAY LESS GENDER BALANCE IN RANDOM BACKGROUND CHARACTERS.

caterfree10 October 21 2013, 04:14:01 UTC

THAT'S FOR SURE. I HAD SLIGHTLY HIGHER HOPES THAN I THOUGHT I WOULD AFTER THE FIRST TWO EPS, BUT THAT JUST EVAPORATED. NOW I'M JUST DESPERATELY HOPING THE REST OF THE SEASON WILL GET BETTER. I'M DEBATING WHETHER I WANT TO STICK AROUND FOR THE LAST TWO SEASONS THO. :/

AND NAH BROSIS, DEFINITELY NOT THE ONLY ONE. I KNOW AT LEAST ON TUMBLR THERE WERE QUITE A FEW OF US WHO NOTICED THE LACK OF LADIES. IDK ABOUT ON LJ THO AS I HAVEN'T REALLY FELT SAFE IN MANY ATLA COMMS BC I SHIP ZUTARA (HELL, I GOT JUMPED ON BY A MOD ON ONTD_LOK FOR MAKING A ZUTARA JOKE LAST SEASON, SO I KIND OF DON'T REALLY VISIT EXCEPT FOR NEWS AND OT POSTS ANYMORE).

call_me_ishmael October 21 2013, 04:29:11 UTC

SAME HERE. IF IT WEREN'T FOR THE VARIK TWIST AND BEGINNINGS I PROBABLY WOULD'VE STOPPED WATCHING THIS SEASON. AFTER THE BULLSHIT OF NO MORE YOUNG JUSTICE I DON'T WANT MY CARTOONS TO GO BAD ON ME. :[

I'M NOT PLUGGED INTO THE TUMBLR KORRA FANDOM AT ALL ('CAUSE I'M A HERMIT WHO MOSTLY LOOKS AT FANART) BUT IT'S GOOD TO KNOW PEOPLE ARE DISCUSSING IT SOMEWHERE.

IDK ABOUT LJ EITHER AS THIS IS THE ONLY AVATAR COMM I FOLLOW AND THE ENTIRE WEBSITE SEEMS ABANDONED IN FAVOR OF TUMBLR.

SRSLY CAN WE JUST FORGET KORRA AND HAVE TWELVE SEASONS OF WAN? I DIDN'T THINK I'D LIKE HIM AT FIRST, HE WAS A JERK, BUT...CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT! SWEET HALLELUJAH, CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT AND AN INTERESTING STORY!

ALTHOUGH THIS BENDING ORIGIN STORY DOESN'T QUITE GEL WITH THE BADGERMOLES/DRAGONS/SKY BISON/MOON ORIGIN, SO...THERE'S THAT. TUMBLR ALREADY BEAT THAT HORSE TO DEATH AND MORE.

RE THE BALANCE THING: SAME THING AS STAR WARS, APPARENTLY. IT'S ONLY 'BALANCED' AND HAPPY IF THE BAD GUYS ARE DEFEATED. LOL

deedoubleyew October 21 2013, 21:11:31 UTC

IT WAS KIND OF INTERESTING TO FIND OUT THAT LIONTURTLES HAVE BEEN DEUS-EX-MACHINA-ING SHIT UP FOR AS LONG AS THERE'S BEEN HUMANITY. I MEAN OTHERWISE, THAT ONE THAT HELPED AANG TAKE AWAY BENDING WOULD HAVE JUST BEEN STUPID (LOL).

tricolordwombat November 11 2013, 08:57:06 UTC

I'M THINKING THE LIONTURTLES GAVE THE PEOPLE THE BENDZ, AND THEN THE BADGERMOLES/DRAGONS/SKY BISON/MOON PROVIDED THE ADVANCED CLASSES.

deedoubleyew October 21 2013, 21:20:42 UTC

WITH RESPECT TO THE DUAL SPIRITS, WEREN'T THEY IDENTIFIED AS ORDER (WHITE) AND CHAOS (BLACK)? I FEEL LIKE IT WAS BECAUSE THE WHITE SPIRIT HAD BEEN IN RELATIVE CONTROL THAT THE HUMANS WERE ALL CONFINED TO LIONTURTLES. IT REALLY TOOK THE UNLEASHING OF CHAOS FOR THEM TO SHAKE UP THE SOCIAL ORDER AND EXPLORE THE WORLD, ALBEIT SUPER-DESTRUCTIVELY. IT SEEMS TO ME LIKE THE BLACK SPIRIT IS NECESSARY FOR LARGE SOCIAL UPHEAVAL TO TAKE PLACE, AND MAYBE THE MIXING/INTEGRATION OF THE FOUR NATIONS IS CONTRIBUTING TO THE RISE OF CHAOS AGAIN

2¢ DONE.
