I lost it when Varrick
-
-
LOL. Everything with Varrick was just pure gold/. That conference call between Amon/Zaheer/Vaatu & Unaloq…has to be 1 of the funniest things ever in the entire series. That just had me lol'ing so hard.
-
Now i can't stop picturing Vaatu trying to order a Pizza with the phone and trying to get it :
Vaatu: Just like…slide it under the door
Pizza boy: What door? I can't see any door!
Vaatu: It's just...it's like a Lattice. I'm pretty sure you can slide the pizza. Just throw it at me.
Pizza boy: I'm not sure i can sir. And i'm getting late for my other deliveries.
Vaatu: Don't go boy. It's been so long since i've had Margherita. How about you commune with the spirit world?
Pizza boy: sir, i can't even bend. That's why i am a delivery boy.
Vaatu: Oh, ok. Just leave it outside. I'm sure i'll get out soon. I'm gonna pay you in coupons. Is that okay?
Tires Screeching
Vaatu: Boy? Boy? -
Tee hee.
-
Such a funny recap. Not so necessary but fun.
-
Absolutely sucked that a episode was wasted for a "clip show" format, but goddammit the creators executed it perfectly. Also, I love Varrick.
-
First two thirds were bleh, even with the chibis commenting… but Varric's segment absolutely made it. He should have done the whole episode.
-
I'm the opposite. I liked the whole mako and asami bit. I thought it was well done. Varick, he's cool, but gawd did his story make no sense! >< Glad some people liked it.
-
Yeah Varrick was my least favorite part but i mans its a clip show so w/e. Im just going to forget it.
-
I also found most of the non-Varrick episode to be bleh, but then Varrick showed up and just killed it. I definitely felt Samurai Champloo's "The Disorder Diaries" influence, especially since Steve Blum (Mugen in SC) played a significant role in Varrick's story.
-
Tenzin's delivery seemed off to me. Like the actor thought he was narrating instead of engaging in conversation.

Oh, so I'm not the only one who had this thought. Cool.
-
I felt that way the entire time during Korra's segment, and it was definitely my least favorite part of the ep. Mako's was I thought pretty good and a great reminder about how awful Makorra was.
And then Varrick showed up, and it was good
-
Yeah, Korra's segment was the only one I didn't like, and it's definitely Doug/Rob vlog bias but I was thinking that the "argument" the two got into last episode could have been resolved in this episode, with the two reminiscing.
Found the Mako love life commentary funny, though I like Wu as a character. Varrick's was great too but really bittersweet given the social commentary on the state of entertainment today, and possibly how the creators view their series and their possible response to nonsensible and out of nowhere plot points.
-
What's the alternative?
"Everything must be perfect, I have to memorize every character eye color, birthday and pastry preferences!" As the season name implies, what's needed is balance.
Entretaiment has become too… observed for it's own good, it might be good to try and think of shorter more contained stories if the focus is to keep consistency.
Varik school of tought can bring Bleach into life, but then as well might bring a Jojo's.
-
Varrick confirmed for Korra universe's Araki
-
Nah, he doesn't age backwards.
-
Expected that to happen.
I don't really think the "outrage" has anything to do with it. If there WAS any outrage worth paying attention too.
-
Nick continues their corporate legacy of having no idea what they're doing
and yeah I doubt this has anything to do with the clip show episode
-
What happened was, one exec went "hey the ratings are falling!" (without even looking into why that might be… you know, timeslot, erratic scheduling, lack of advertising) and yelled "pull it off the air, it's not worth the timeslot!"
Now a couple months later someone else is going "Wait, we spent millions on this show, why are we blowing it on online premiers?"
-
Season 3: Done. Ramblings ahead.
Overall, better than the second one, some superlatively good fights (the northern air temple raid was TOO intense! I felt incredibly bad for Tenzin), some good drama, romance kept to a manageable minimum (though I still have tons of gripes with it). . .but, honestly? I see more or less the same problems. Korra still spends most of the time unconscious, getting beaten or getting kidnapped; also, a BIG gripe of mine I can't get over with: does her Avatar state even do anything? I just remember Aang turning into a fucking WATER GOD in his Avatar state, slicing up battle ships like nothing, or turning a battle where he was pushed around like a ragdoll by Ozai into a memorable ass-beating by going Avatar Mode. Hell, he was so powerful he was scared of such power, and the biggest thing was learning to control that not to put friends in danger.
With Aang, the Avatar state MADE a difference. With Korra it's like. . .I guess she's a bit faster? Or a bit more powerful? Not much else. It hasn't made a difference any single time she's used it, except leaving her in a wheelchair. Which, btw, I admit was a fantastic downer ending.
Baddie was alright, I guess. Weird, though. The Zen guy that wants to reach enlightment and leave all worldly desires behind is a crazy terrorist that wants to create a huge worldy chaos? Too bad his crew of misfits ended up just being great fighters, participating in awesome fights, but nothing else. Even the baddie's GF was unmemorable outside of her powers and design. When Bolin started asking them questions, when they were their prisoners? Awesome stuff! They felt like human beings! But that was the ONLY scene in the entire season where they were. . .something else than "powerful underlings A and B".
And I gotta agree with the Nostalgia Critic here: after the end of Season 2 I was expecting something about the spirits coexisting with the humans, not that suddenly the spirit world and the human world coexisting meant. . . .airbenders popping out of nowhere? I guess this will be explained in Season 4 cause RANDOM doesn't even begin to describe it. It got us some good moments and scenes, but c'mon, the potential was so huge that getting to the "let's find airbenders!" adventure felt like a letdown. Thank god that got us the metal city and the showdown in there (second best one for me).
And finally, how sporadic can romance get in this series? It was already quite forced and kinda mediocre during TLA, but here? Bolin meets Beifong's niece, 5 seconds and she's blushing already. 5 seconds. 1 minute and they're dating. And Jinora and Kai, more of the same. They see each other, insta-love. The series went backwards instead of forward in that regard.
It's still doing something right when I'm eating this series like hot fucking cakes, I'm kind of addicted right now, and it's huge, and epic, and I love the world, and the lore, and some characters (bullshit on Varrick's exceedingly SHORT screen time in this season, total and utter bullshit), and the action is GLORIOUS, just like the music and the production. . . .but TLA was better in basically every single aspect outside of production values. I wonder how much Nickelodeon is to blame here, though. It seems they're trying to fuck with the show as much as they can, something I can't even begin to understand why. Isn't Avatar like a huge hit?
-
I don't even think a conversation took place. I think someone just pushed some buttons and they just went with it.
-
With Aang, the Avatar state MADE a difference. With Korra it's like. . .I guess she's a bit faster? Or a bit more powerful? Not much else.
Keep in mind though that before the very end of the fight with Ozai, Aang was basically a meat puppet in the Avatar State with no real control over his actions. Korra has a much stronger will than Aang and was almost certainly not gaining full access to her powers because of that.
Plus Koizilla was a combination of the Avatar State and an extremely powerful, extremely pissed off spirit; he doesn't come anywhere close to that much strength again in the Avatar State.

I don't know, the mess he did when that earth nation evil commander threatened Katara was quite something, same when he did that super fire explosion at the fire temple.
What I don't like is that, in her Avatar state, she still uses the same fire punches that go in a straight line, same water attacks that go in a straight line, same little rocks. . .except for that top of the mountain she threw at Zaheer, that was cool (though it did nothing), but that was literally the only "huge" attack she's ever done. I don't know, create a fire dragon? (young Zuko did this, and other fire benders did similar things), or a huge tornado? or a bigass earthquake? Something that doesn't look exactly like her regular, non Avatar State attacks.
-
Part of that is, like Ubiq said, Aang just went berserk in the avatar state and let it completely control him without any sort of restraint… but aside from that, Korra's spiritual side was locked off (along with her airbending) for the entire first season, and that after the end of the second season, she no longer has access to any of the old avatars, their training or experience, and the original avatar spirit has been greatly weakened, almost destroyed.
So the second season was really the only time she had a chance to use the avatar state to its full potential... and she turned into a giant glowing sentai monster with it.
Aside from that, Aang was the anomoly, not the norm. No other avatar we saw only unleashed the avatar state when getting angry and going berserk. We saw perfect control from both of Aang's predecessors, the Avatar state is SUPPOSED to be controlled and not crazy.
Bolin meets Beifong's niece, 5 seconds and she's blushing already. 5 seconds. 1 minute and they're dating.
They're actually cute together and have some real chemistry, unlike Mako and… anyone. You can be immediatley attracted to someone's personality and attitude and its fine. (And they have some major issues in season 4, btw.)
And Jinora and Kai, more of the same.
Kids flirting, nothing serious or crazy there.
Don't forget how quickly Sokka and Suki moved… or Sokka and Yue... or Katara and Jet... or Zuko and Jin... or Zuko and Mai. Hell, Zuko and Mai got together during a time skip, and as a result, their entire relationship felt forced and artificial up until the point it was over... and they had a dozen episodes as a couple!
Even Aang crushed on Katara after about 5 seconds and carried that around the whole series. Yes, it took them time to actually officially hook up, but the blushy "I'm in love with you" bit was almost immediate.
(Also Tai Lee and the Kyoshi warriors was 100% off screen. Not a romance but... still a sudden development they still threw it into epilogue)
-
also, a BIG gripe of mine I can't get over with: does her Avatar state even do anything? I just remember Aang turning into a fucking WATER GOD in his Avatar state, slicing up battle ships like nothing, or turning a battle where he was pushed around like a ragdoll by Ozai into a memorable ass-beating by going Avatar Mode.

This has grated on me too. Aang basically became taken over by a wrathful, omniscient godlike force, with a new personality and distortet voice -you could really feel that this was the power of X generations unleashed at once.
Korra basically goes Super Sayan. I know she's older and past-self-less now, but it definetely feels less mystic and epic, and more mundane. And that was even back in season 1 too.
-
@Daz:
And that was even back in season 1 too.
She didn't have full control of it in season 1. Her spiritual side sucked, and so thus did her airbending. It was a major plot point.
Aang's unlocked for the first time on pure instinct when he trapped himself in an iceburg, and after that it was always an emergency, angry tactic… and in almost every case NOT what he should have been doing.
-
! I liked seeing Zaher being brought down to earth, as a maner of spech, as he's realized that he was caught up with his idealism and the feeling that he was a chosen one (by the whole suddenly airbending) to realize that what he did might not be the best.
! The thing is, that while kuvira is crazy agresive, both the earth king and the earth queen were shitty leaders, and at least the people of Ba sing se that follow her are better. But Wu coming to power won't reverse that, and might be a better leader than advertised, but what with his heir, and his heir and his heir?
! I want Zhu to become a mandela-like figure, and bring democracy to the earth kingdom.If I spoiled anyone with this post accidentaly at the adventure time thread, I'm sorry.
-
-
I feel this episode will go a ways toward addressing Kouch-Lee's issues with Korra's use of Avatar state.
-
i still to this day hate the fact they decided to sever her connection to all the past avatars….woulda been nice to have seen some of the other avatars..even a bit more of Aang etc....
! Good episode again. It was great to see Zaheer again, i really like that guy,especially when he has long hair& a beard…that look is good for him imo. I wonder if the way he views the world has changed at all? He seems to have a reaction to the fact his actions lead to Kuivra coming to power....and he wants to see her be stopped so....
! So we enter the final few episodes.....

! I wouldn't be surprised if Zaheer still kept most of his beliefs, but learning that Kuvira is in charge has definitely made him second guess his beliefs of taking down the establishment without something to prevent the power vacuum. In fact, Kuvira has re-education camps and forcing people to bow to her or else, which we al know is against everything the Red Lotus was for: for people to choose their own freedom without the oppression of class and people with power preventing them from doing that. But Zaheer has to live with what has occurred, which is probably why he was the perfect person to help Korra through her final funk. He threw everything he had at her and she came out on top and survived, but instead of using that to strengthen herself she focused on when she was weak during that encounter. Hence Zaheer telling Korra that she was strong and had in his words "limitless power" to break the mental block that was their fight and become fully one with the spirit world once again
-
Gonna be sad when it is all over. its like the 11th Doctor from Doctor Who , i hate endings. I assume it'll carry on in comic book form later on…...
I hold on tohope maybe 1 day we'll get another series starring an earth bending avatar....but given how Nick have treated this show,i wouldn't hold my breath.....
-
This felt a bit rushed to me. A lot happened in the final part of the episode, enough that could have been an entire episode on it's own and probably should have been. Korra has been struggling with this for so long and I love how the writers have made her healing such a major part of this episode. It's not just the physical and the mental that she has to recover but also her spiritual side literally and figuratively. That was a big moment for this season.
! I really liked that Korra had to confront Zaheer in order or to move past him and it was nice to see how much he believed in her and how much she had impressed him. Had she been able to move past this without his help I think he would have been even more impressed by her. But she's not superman she's a young woman fused with a spirit with a tremendous responsibility.
-
Well they said the budget got cut for roughly the amount that a single episode would cost, thus necessating last week's flashback-episode… Perhaps this episode was originally meant to be two episodes?
-
6 episodes into the fourth season I can only say I have so MUCH bitching in me it's hard to contain. I have so much negativity I'd make Darth look like a sister of mercy compared to the fury I want to unleash right now. I feel ashamed to have bitched about so much stuff from the other 3 seasons cause holy shit does this one take the cake big time. I see they were vastly superior in every single conceivable way. Even season 2.
Season 2 was weird and badly paced and awkwardly written. . .but still enjoyable. This is just bad. I almost punch myself when Korra had to rediscover her again for the hundreth time, face her fears for the thousandth time, shouted to the world that she was a totally different person, proceedto get her ass handed to her on a silver plate, fell to symbolic psychological pressure, and got ko'ed again. Ho.Ly.Shit.
¿Zhu Li's face heel turn used as a serious plot device + dramatic cliffhanger?¿Asami rekindling with her father out of the blue, with some scene-jumping that makes Dressrosa's jump-cuts look subtle?¿Kuvira is the big boss of the season?¿That girl that was super awkwardly name dropped during the last minute and a half of last season is suddenly a fascist militar dictator and conqueror or some shit? ¿With Bageera, or Bajura, or wathever that absolutely disastrous character's name is?¿Why is Meelo such an insufferable prick?¿Was Zaheer's idea of a world of total freedom by taking out kings and queens this fucking shit? No more kings! Ooops, but now we have Hitler's reincarnation among us. . .enter the voooid!
Only Toph and Varrick make this whole thing viewable. What a trainwreck of a final season.
I'll stop here, but I have plenty more bitterness inside me. I'll let it out by punching a wall for the next three hours.
-
I'll stop here, but I have plenty more bitterness inside me. I'll let it out by punching a wall for the next three hours.
I'm just as bitter, but for different reasons. Similarly, I don't like the "facing inner symbolic demons" plot device for Korra's character at all. And it's sad that I don't even think it is over yet. She has yet to face… HERSELF. Another plot I don't like it's the "Super Weapon" using spirit energy thing. It's... well... boring??????
Aside that, there's little things I like. But nothing really worth carrying an entire season for me. I want to hope things could get better or unexpected in the end, but it's oddly predictable at this point. Things that I think would happen.
-Zhu Li not really betraying Varrick but working against Kuvira all along. I imagine this playing out with Kurvira then threatening the life of Li because well, "she figured". THEN this plays as a motivation for Varrick, who valiantly saves/kisses her in some grand epic finale thing that happens in the final act of any random Hollywood blockbuster. Oh. They blow up stuff together because it's cute.
-Korra thinks she's fine, gets the upper hand and suddenly and unexpectedly... Inner Demon Symbolic Representation of Unloaded Baggage Korra appears. She fears being the Avatar the world wants her to be, Kurvia taunts, ?????. "I am the Avatar now!". Kurvia fainted. Korra recieves some EXP.
-Asami fires a super weapon of her own at Kuviras weapon. Then she again gives credit to her own company that no one has even seen as being super great and awesome like a magician that expects the audience to awe as he pulls handkerchiefs out of a hat.
-Some family reuinon scene. Bolin gets his girl back. Mako becomes a full time attendant for the prince. Korra and Asami live together with her dogbear thing in the woods like Toph. Credits roll. The End.I'm not serious, but I'd have a little ironic party to myself if any of that turns out to happen.
-
Kuvira in power: Explained by a timeskip, the fact that she took the best of the best of the most avanced city in the world, and had to deal mostly wiht a movement of random earth nation people, completely liderless and in dissarray.
Korra vs Korra: the only thing that could be greater than the incarnation of all evil, it's a problem closer to home. I'm still not convinced that she's at 100%, but most likely the next time that "Avatar Korra Vision" comes up, korra will be able to overcome it. They keep depowering her, because they made her way too strong in the begining, but this time is the one time that it makes sense, it's handled correctly and with the weight that needed to be done, no "oh I'm contemplating suicide aaaaaand sudenly I'm fine" or "oh, I lost the wisdom of a thousand sages, but I'm ok!"
Spirit vines: inspired by Vatu, powered by vines made by vatu, color coded like vatu… too much vatu namedrop to just let it slide. The beam is the key for something bigger.
Zhu Li is either a fakeout or a jelousy moment that got out of hand pretty fast.
Zaheer's movement is supposed to be of freedom, as anarchist movements it was fated to fail because power vacums (or voids) need to be filled, that was something that he didn't tought, or tought that every person's freedom and will would fill it. It was lack of foresight, as every vilian who has tried to kill the avatar would face if some spirit emergency comes, or what the equalist would face in a world suddenly void of the best healers, smelters, transit systems, power grid, etc., or the death and destruction of the mystical million years of darkness and destruction of a world filled with corrupt spirits. Evil plans lack foresight.
Asami's moment is something of clousure for her, jarring, but it was something that her character had in the backburner, and other than a montage episode, tales of ba sing se style, there wasn't a good place to put it.
Some of it, is weak, but not froathing foam from the mouth bad, as some people make it to be.
What I'd do is to make Kuvira something like part of the group from season one, Beifong's asistant or something, kind of part of the group, but not completely, something like if Asami went all "the technolady" on the world.
-
How do you not like this season?
I mean yeah, you're throwing out a list of things but…
I just don't see it. Last two seasons have been great.
-
Aside that, there's little things I like. But nothing really worth carrying an entire season for me. I want to hope things could get better or unexpected in the end, but it's oddly predictable at this point. Things that I think would happen.
Basically, that. 6 episodes in I'm like. . .that's it? The season's really gonna be like this? Yeah, Varrick has more screentime and it's golden, cause it's fucking Varrick, and Toph is the best female character ever created, but. . .everything feels so unerwhelming. Isn't this supposed to be the last season? The final Korra villain will be. . .Kuvira? For real? I had my complaints about how Zaheer feels a bit inconsistent to me, or his underlings a bit one-note, but look at their intro, with 4 incredible prison breaks, unique powers and designs, this huge "we are massive badasses and you ought to fear us NOW". . .And we go to Kuvira?
Kuvira in power: Explained by a timeskip, the fact that she took the best of the best of the most avanced city in the world, and had to deal mostly wiht a movement of random earth nation people, completely liderless and in dissarray.
Kuvira and Su's son make for an awful villain couple, sorry. They have the combined charisma of an amoeba. Bolin not noticing for THREE years that the towns they've "freed" are actually massive slave cities with disidents thrown in concentration camps is incredible. Did no one in the fucking UN think of taking a look at these towns after being liberated? Was the only hint that Kuvira was nuts the fact she was amassing a bit too much power and getting a bit too cocky instead of, you know, actual proof that she's enslaving an entire country? No one noticed, no one?
Again, Kuvira's been doing this for 3 blasted years. Maybe the timeskip shouldn't have been so long, cause now it feels like this world is full of idiots if no one tried to do a single thing against her advances considering she's basically running the biggest slave parlor ever in here.
Korra vs Korra: the only thing that could be greater than the incarnation of all evil, it's a problem closer to home. I'm still not convinced that she's at 100%, but most likely the next time that "Avatar Korra Vision" comes up, korra will be able to overcome it. They keep depowering her, because they made her way too strong in the begining
When did that happen? When was Korra too strong? Korra has either been a device used by villains or a very small mountain they need to climb. Every villain that has claimed its willingness to use the Avatar to their wishes, has succeeded. Every villain that has attempted to defeat, kidnap, manipulate or torture the Avatar, has succeeded. Once a plan is set in motion for Korra to fall, she falls. And multiple times (vs. Unalaq).
Are you seriously telling me what we needed NOW, during the last season, after such a long running lousy performance by Korra, was to weaken her?? No. She freaking needed a permanent power up so people would stop messing with the freaking Avatar and start taking Korra seriously, as a threat, as something you don't just nonchalantly make a part of your plans.
"For my plans to work, I'll need to manipulate and then kill the Avatar; oh, c'mon, it's Korra, I don't think it'll be that hard". Done.
"For my plans to work, we'll need to kidnap and poison the Avatar. No no, don't worry, it's not Aang; it's Korra". Done.
"Korra, I'll take your bending away, but don't worry, I'll save you for last, and there's nothing you can do to avoid it". Done.
"I have an army of thousands, but worry not, we'll bet the city on a mano a mano. Go into the Avatar state for all I care, I'll still defeat you. . .". Done.
No, Korra didn't need a 5 episode internal self-discovery trip ONLY to be weaker physically and mentally than she's ever been, and we need to go through MORE internal self-discovery so we'll end the series with a half-competent Avatar. "And from now on, Korra will be awesome and the best Avatar ever. . .too bad you won't see it!".
Zhu Li is either a fakeout or a jelousy moment that got out of hand pretty fast.
Zhu Li was part of a running gag that suddenly seemed to take an ugly and serious form with some sort of subliminal message on abusive relationships or something like that? And given a dramatic cliffhanger with Zhu Li doing the evil smirk "yess miss fascist zealot overlady, count me in to create a weapon of mass destruction".
That's as stupid as Sanji's nosebleeds becoming a key plot device. Maybe even worse.
Asami's moment is something of clousure for her, jarring, but it was something that her character had in the backburner, and other than a montage episode, tales of ba sing se style, there wasn't a good place to put it.
Both Asami and Mako's scenes so far have seemed like leftovers they didn't know where to even put. They come and go and noone notices them, and they only awkwardly break an already not very strong narrative. They aren't doing a single thing for me.
How do you not like this season?
I mean yeah, you're throwing out a list of things but…
I just don't see it. Last two seasons have been great.
Season 3, even with its problems (and it had problems), is miles better than these first 6 episodes of season 4. Season 4 so far is unengaging and uninteresting.
Maybe the next 3 episodes will make me crap my pants on the spot, but seeing how one of them is apparently a recap because of budget restraints and whatnot, it doesn't look that good.
-
Just watched 8 and 9.
8 just giving more reason (if there wasn't enough) why Varrik alone makes LOK worthy of watching.
9, though… honestly, nothing in it made much sense. Everything seemed rushed and forced. -
The most legendary battle in Avatar history. Appa vs Momo
Just saw the episode again a few days ago….
-
http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=57363
Next series in the OGN series announced, for those who still care about them.
-
Ok, why couldn't the entirety of episode 8 be retold by Varrick? Holy shit. I just lost it at the 4 way telephone call. And Bolin's face on giant Korra. And the "fairy queen" being called by Bolin's infinite mojo.
Best 8 minutes of the season. By far.
I feel this episode will go a ways toward addressing Kouch-Lee's issues with Korra's use of Avatar state.
That's a step in the right direction, question now is: will she be able to use that spirit energy for practical uses?
-
! So the show finally gives the in-universe reason for the people from ATLA to not be involved in current affairs.
! Shame since Toph's small act was probably the most impressive display of large scale earthbending on Korra in all four seasons given her relative distribution of earth disruption from a single person. But that's probably the point. No need for Toph/Katara to steal the spotlight from the rest.
! Also, all I could think of what that Bolin kinda proved Wu's point xp -
Great episode. Gotta wonder why she fought Kuvira alone. Still a really good fight.
-
! So the show finally gives the in-universe reason for the people from ATLA to not be involved in current affairs.
! A pretty weak reason if you ask me. Taking the Obiwan / Yoda method of fucking off and hoping for the best?
! Iroh and the rest of the OG White Lotus are shaking their heads in the afterlife.
