I started watching the Legend of Korra after many people had tweeted about it despite disliking the original Avatar series. And I ended up liking it enough to be curious about next seasons .

I disagree Divo, after Aang was about to hit Ozai with the "final blow", he snaps out of it and then he doesn't even rely on the Avatar State. From my perspective, that scene where he regains the ability is to show the potential of what a true realized Avatar is capable of and Aang finally being able to control it, which is important.

But Aang not relying on the Avatar State amounted to about  a second's worth of Earth-bending when he locks Ozai's arms. As I said, Aang's ability to defeat the Fire Lord was based entirely around the Avatar State, before which he was getting man-handled, and Energy Bending. The whole Aang finally being able to control the Avatar state plot point remains non-sensical, because it's never made clear what getting hit with a rock in the back has to do with locking or unlocking the seventh chakra.

Also, I like the whole Energy Bending aspect, that idea of a whole Era even before the Avatar was pretty interesting for me and what it represents to "bending". I understand viewing it as as a deus ex, but I view it differently, as you stated with that stretch of foreshadowing from that picture of the Lion Turtle and if you notice, there is a human figure there I believe as well, was that the first Avatar? Who knows, haha.

I would agree, if this aspect had been developed prior to the end. The whole energy bending plot has potential, but not in the last four episodes. The whole: "Is it right to kill the Fire Lord?" is a plot point which is entirely self-contained. It exists only when the writers needed to introduce a method to avoid killing Ozai, because it didn't occur to Aang in that entire year what this battle could entail. If the energy bending era had at least been mentioned earlier, it would have given a better impression of a consistent universe.

I think Korra should explore how the Avatar State works exactly in book two.

[The Hierophant]

I think they gave Korra's earth, water, and fire powers back too soon. The only potential issue i would have with an extended search for a cure arc is that the levels of angst she would experience would probably be biblical.

Word. It's obvious now that they weren't planning on having a season beyond the first one.

Well, apparently they've now been given 52 episodes so they have some room to maneuver.

Is there a boxset for the entire Avatar series?

[The King of Dust]

There's boxsets for each season of ATLA, but I've never seen one for the whole series.

Ah, nice to see you again, Toph.

I've read that some boxsets come with different episodes or not all of them?

[The King of Dust]

Never heard of that. I have the 3 "Complete Book [number] Collection" and they have all the episodes as far as I know.

Indeed. I'm looking forward to seeing how the Spirits season expands on Korra's journey. The ending to the first season sure didn't leave much room for existing plots.

A senile Rinnegan wielding Azula is hell bent on world domination where only an alliance between Korra, and Koh could stop her, but it unintentionally creates a love triangle between Korra, Koh, and Mako that erupts into murderous jealousy thus sending the situation spiralling out of control. Special guest star Bill Cosby.

So what element Bill Cosby going to bend? Earth?

Yes, they look exactly like those. However, as far as book 1 and 2 are concerned, mine are the dual language Canadian ones (english + french). In terms of episodes, the content should be the same.

Sorry for taking so long to answer, can't post while I'm at work. Or sleeping. I should try to train myself to do stuff while I sleep, I'd get a lot more stuff done that way.

Not to worry. We'd all get a lot more done if we could sleep and work/study at the same time.

It got me thinking, I'm near the end of ATLA and I realized throughout the series we see each original aspect of bending, Air = Bison, Earth = Badgermole, Fire = Dragon, Water = Moon and yet, when Aang is on top of the Lion Turtle (that one hexagon crafted area, where he asks for advice), he realizes it not made of Earth and even June states Aang doesn't exist. It got me thinking and I realize the certain mindsets towards the whole Energy Bending aspect and in my perspective and from the photo -



and the whole idea of "original benders" got me thinking that maybe the Lion Turtles had some influence of the first Avatar(s). Even the figure in the photo, it makes me think that the whole energy bending aspect isn't as far reaching, but I understand the arguments against it, I just think it's interesting - especially with the whole second season of Korra venturing into the "spirit realm".

I also hope Koh plays a role - originally, I thought he was behind the whole "taking away" bending aspect in LOK.

Episode 3 of LOK - Amon says "Since the beginning of time, the spirits have acted of guardians of our world and they have spoken to me. They say the avatar has failed humanity, that is why the spirits have chosen to me to usher in a new era of balance, they have granted me a power that will make equality of reality, blah blah."

Those few key words... and the whole premise of season two and the "spirit world".

I really hope they dive into the energy bending aspect for season two, since Amon even puts his thumb in the same position Aang did, when using it on Ozai, Korra, etc.  Maybe a "spirit" showed a way that chi-blocking and bloodbending could influence that type of power, I don't know, haha.  I'm really excited for season two.

Yeah, I'm not entirely sure what season two will be about. Is it "spirits" as in we'll get to see the adventures of old team avatar? Has it something to do with how Amon was able to take away a person's bending ability? Will it focus on Korra regaining her Avatar powers despite having already done that at the end of season one? Maybe it'll address all of these?

[AresKeith]

Tbh I would have liked the idea of Amon being a energy bender instead of a water bender in Season 1

That wouldn't make sense or it would fall flat, since of how season 1 ends with his brother and the "sacrifice".  

I personally like the idea of his whole "prodigy" aspect and the whole aspect of being able to bloodbend when their isn't a full moon. 

We'll see in season two, that's for sure, I'm pretty positive that energy bending will be brought up.  

[GreyLycanTrope]

I'm all for Koh being the next antagonist, or at least somehow involved with them, I like the whole premise of the Spirits being at odds with humanity. Given the larger role of technology in the world of Avatar I think it'd be a very engaging story line.

Yes I agree, that's why I was a bit upset at the pacing for season one, the whole premise of modern technology anti-benders seemed so interesting, especially for the Avatar universe.  

Koh even states "I'll see you again" to Aang, when he's looking for Ying and Yang.

Frankly, I thought you were going to post this:
