Legend of Korra 1- 3

Apr 23, 2012 22:25

We watched the first three episodes of the Legend of Korra. It's a gripping sequel to Avatar: The Last Airbender set in a believable world with the creation team's trademark attention to detail.
( Spoilers and speculation. You were expecting anything else? )

the rules of fair play mystery we should have already met Ammon's secret identity

hm. I hadn't thought about that. Not sure they're playing by those rules, necessarily.

I calculate that in the next episode or two we'll meet at least one female character to be Korra's BFF. The nice thing about actually *trusting* the creators is that I feel confident that other female characters *will* show up, it's not going to be "Korra is so awesome she can be one of the guys!"

Assuming that the story has three full acts we're still very early in act one so there is still plenty of time to introduce Ammon's alter ego. Though I agree with Crabby Lioness that it will be soon. More speculation on Ammon's alter ego later.

edit---> Crabby what other fandoms do I see you in?

I didn't realize it had been extended out to 12 and 14 episodes. The penalty of avoiding spoilers, I suppose.

Crabby what other fandoms do I see you in?

Doctor Who, Torchwood, Merlin, and Marvel Comics. I haven't done much fanac lately; we've moved and are massively renovating a 1920s bungalow.

I don't know how many episodes it is. I am avoiding all spoilers and all shipping for LoK and pretty much everything these days.

I haven't seen you on any Merlin forums. Must be Doctor Who, I haven't been on any Doctor Who boards or anything recently and I feel like it was a while ago. *shrug*

BO LIN IS THE CUTEST OF CUTES. I also made the connection with Tenzin. Unfortunately because hes behind a mask we can't even rule out if its him if we see them together, because Ammon could easily have body doubles and voice recordings, etc.

And there's always the possibility he's a spirit monster who's slipped past the veil after Aang's death.

Spirit Monster might right, but I feel like its some sort of Karma thing. My lil' sis pointed out that it was Avatar Kiyoshi that created the Dai Li' and you see what a pain they were. The same with fire sages at the temple and Avatar Roku not dealing more decisively with the Fire Lord during his life time.The clues to Ammon, his identity and his ambitions can be found in the things that Aang did and failed to do.

I have a prediction: Ammon will successfully take away Korra's bending and her spiritual journey willbe getting it back.

IDK Next episode Korra challenges Ammon to a duel. There's a clip from one of the series trailers where Ammon tells Korra, "I'm saving you to until last." That's part of my evidence for it being Tinzin.

She definitely needs to journey to the Spirit World. Ammon's claim that the spirit world gave him his powers can only be validated there.

My theory is that after Aang died but while Korra was still a child there was a great disturbance in the Spirit World. Tinzin tried to correct it and was corrupted.

I love how Korra is everything Aang looking back would have wished he had been. I find myself doing this with My Little Pony. All my life I've been Twilight Sparkle, but watching the show I wish I was Pinkie Pie. :)
