[Golurks Were Meant to Fly]

Oh yea, I forgot about Iroh!

He is up there in my favorite characters for sure. His past was really sad and his mini-episode (Tales of Ba-Sing-Se) was so sad...

I also forgot how much I liked Sokka, even though he could be very block-headed sometimes, "Sparky-Sparky-Boom-Man!"

I agree! Especially when they dedicated it to Mako, who recently passed away then. Again, I was referring to the brilliant voice actor. May he rest in peace. But yeah that episode was undoubtedly Iroh's. And Mako really brought an endearing character like Iroh into the show with his magic.

Oh and the meat and sarcasm guy is definitely one of the show's highlights. He has really good lines imo, I mean, whoever writes those must be genius. Not to mention a really cool voice actor, and fittingly wacky animations. It never hurts to have comic relief in a surprisingly mature show like Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Case in point:

*cue serious atmosphere*

Katara: "If you wanna see your daughter again, bring five hundred gold pieces to the arena. It's signed, Xin Fu and The Boulder."
Sokka: "I can't believe it..."

...

Sokka: "...I HAVE THE BOULDER'S AUTOGRAPH!"

XD;

I wish they at least made a few episodes that detailed Iroh's past. That would have been awesome. A young, badass Iroh stealing the spotlight.

 

[Golurks Were Meant to Fly]

That would have been really cool, although I don't think he would have been too much different. Remember the episode Zuko Alone? Even though he was a lot more violent he was still, (as quoted from Azula) "...his royal tea-loving kookiness."

Another thing I just remembered is how sassy LOK is. (spoilers) Like how the cabbage man's great grandson or whatever was still there, and this conversation: (it's been paraphrased)

Jinora: I've been reading some of your past adventures, and they're just amazing. I was wondering... could you tell me what happened to Zuko's mother?
Katara: It's an incredible tale...
Ikki: GRANDMA GRANDMA! (lots of questions)

haha that was so funny, yet incredibly aggravating. >: (

Uh, Bolin. Omg, he's so cute, funny as all heck, and he's just amazing and adorable. Teaching Pabu how to do tricks made him even cuter. <3

 

[Golurks Were Meant to Fly]

^^Uhh...

Longshot didn't kill Jet, Long Feng did. And if you're referring to when Long Shot notched an arrow, he was doing it to protect against enemies. (He was pointing it at the door)

Long Feng was such an evil guy, what a manipulative politician he was!

WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME

Thanks everyone for joining! You're all such sweethearts. <3 New episode starts now. xD I will update the first post in a bit. Lot's of good stuff. :)

Who is your favorite character?
From A:TLA, hmmm I don't really have a top favorite, but I love Zuko's development. I was definitely rooting for him towards the middle-end of the series.
From LOK, hands down it's Korra. I love Korra's attitude and her quirky facial expressions. She's so buff and headstrong but so hopeless with love, airbending, uh oh teenage vulnerability, hehe. D: She's well-rounded and has a lot of charm and humor from the first series.

You came! :D /off-topic

Anyway, you're completely right! Bolin is one of the most likeable characters in The Legend of Korra so far, he's just adorable with Pabu, haha. :D

I wonder how things will go for him later in the series. He doesn't seem to have much of a plot line himself except for being Mako's awesome little brother. Hmm... =\

That would have been really cool, although I don't think he would have been too much different. Remember the episode Zuko Alone? Even though he was a lot more violent he was still, (as quoted from Azula) "...his royal tea-loving kookiness."

That could be a problem. But I still think he'd be awesome as the same Iroh (but younger) that people loved from the first series. I was thinking he'd be at least depicted similarly as Roku and Sozin was in The Avatar and The Fire Lord episode. I loved that one. Old Fire Nation guys with huge backstories are always so cool to watch. :)

I actually can't remember anything about Jet's storyline, haha. :x He's one of those few recurring characters that people list as their series favourite, though. As odd as it seems to me. XD

I despised Long Feng. I admit the whole feudal turmoil dynamic in the Earth Kingdom is cool but!
I think the Dai Li would have been better off without his manipulative ways. >O

Thank you for welcoming us. It's our pleasure to join. :D

And Zuko was really awesome as something of a deuteragonist in the first series. I think they handled his internal conflict pretty well. Especially with the influences of Iroh, Azula and his past all depicted into his own choices as a character.

You couldn't have described Korra any better. I'll just wait for her to get seriously good at Airbending or have a really cool conversation with Aang or activate the Avatar State and I'll like her even more.

 

[Jacinth]

Oh, wow! Did anyone else just watch the new episode of LOK?

Serious spoilers for the episode in here! Careful!

Spoiler:

I always knew Tarrlok was EVIL. I wonder where he's taking Korra... And I feel so sorry for Asami. Did you see the look she gave Korra when Mako sat with her in the satomobile? I is also sad because Bolin can't eat meat on air temple island. Lol.

 

[Golurks Were Meant to Fly]

HAHAHA What? No! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

That was my progression throughout this last episode.

Spoiler:

First of all, Korra's reaction to Ikki's comment was the best. I laughed so hard!
And then Tarlock had to be a frickin B*****D and do that thing with the "equalists"!
Tenzin: But you're still the worst! haha
And then Tarlock bloodbending out of freakin nowhere?!?!? And in the flashback, did he kill the original team avatar? And poor Korra!!!! What is going on?!?!?! And KORRA! AVATAR STATE YIP YIP!!!!!!!!
...I hate that guy...
Is he Amon?

Spoiler:

Yeah, I never thought Tenzin would do something like that. He's so serious all the time. And I is also wondering what Tarrlok did to make Aangey mad. And how he bloodbends. Maybe he has met Twi and La or something that gives him special waterbending power? Yeah, I'm excited to see Korra in the Avatar state. She'll kick **s. :)

 

[Jellicent♀]

THIS LAST EPISODE. YES.

Spoiler:

TARRLOK TOTALLY KILLED THE PREVIOUS TEAM AVATAR. I JUST KNOW IT. D:
Seriously, I KNOW he's in on the Equalist plan. Good Lord, though, he's a pretty epic water bender. I have to admit. xD
I totally agree with GolurkIsDaBomb, I think he's Amon. Maybe. idk, but I just get this really strong feeling that he has SOMETHING to do with Amon.

Am I the only one who thinks Toph looks kinda hot as a grown-up? As gay as I am I'm just like, "Dang girl."

And Cid: Yes I did! How could I not join a club about the greatest television series ever??? DDDD:

 

[Golurks Were Meant to Fly]

Something more to add about the last episode

Spoiler:

Finally, some bending!
Let's be honest. As cool as metal-bending and pro-bending are, they just aren't the kind I fell in love with. To me, pro-bending is basically just punching people with elements and the new metalbending is like a souped up version of spiderman's powers.
Plus, so far Korra has appeared a lot weaker in the bending game than normal benders.
But now, we know how strong of a master she is.
As proven by this episode :)

 

[The Fallen]

I haven't seen the new episode yet, waiting for nick.com to upload it.

My favorite character:
In A:TLAB I'm fond of the entire cast. They all bring diversity and interesting aspects to the show. Each has their own personal problems and things they need to learn throughout the show. It was really well-rounded and enjoyable to see.

In LoK Bloin and Tenzin are pretty close. I wouldn't say that they are my clear cut winners because there is still so much to go.

 

[Cherrim]

yaaaaay Avatar fanclub. The thread in C&M was filled with some very unenthusiastic fans and that made me sad. I was gonna make this club if no one else had in a few days. XD;

Username: Lightning
Element: Water (because, you know, it's like the complete opposite of the lightning aspect of the fire element and i can't have my name match my element lmao)

My favourite character? In Avatar it's Katara and in Korra, it's Bolin. I'm not sure which of them I like more.

Last episode:

Spoiler:

Honestly, I thought a lot of this episode was boring and I thought a lot of decisions that people made were dumb so it stressed me out a bit. XD;

As I've ranted before in the C&M thread, I think the way pretty much all Benders are handling the non-Benders in Republic City is just silly. I'm glad that the show is finally shedding light on the fact that the Benders are being just as extremist as a lot of the Equalists. It's a lot more obvious now that the city is ramping up measures against innocent non-Benders. Hopefully from here on out, Korra + others will realize that giving non-Benders more say/rights/whatever is going to be what stabilizes the city again and that's what the rest of the series will be fighting for.

slkdfksl Tarrlock was seriously scaring me though. ;_;

 

[Jacinth]

While we're talking about episodes, what is your favorite episode from ATLA and LOK so far?
From ATLA, my favorite is The Cave of Two Lovers. Besides the fact that Chang is so fabulous, this episode is really funny and romantic. :)

From LoK, that's a hard one, since the series just began. But I'd probably have to say Welcome to Republic City, because it's funny to watch Tenzin get mad and to see Bolin flirt with Korra. :) I also like the homeless guy in the bush. XD

 

[Golurks Were Meant to Fly]

From ATLA my favorite is probably The Ember Island Players. Even though I love so many episodes, especially more serious ones, this one was just so great because it you could tell the creators were having fun.

My favorite episode from LOK is actually the most recent one, (spoilers perhaps?) because of how funny it was and then how intense it became, I got very angry at my Tv which doesn't really happen unless people on the shows I watch are being incredibly stupid.

 

[Cherrim]

I think my favourite episode of ATLA was either the double episode The Boiling Rock where Sokka and Zuko invade that prison or else the recap episode The Ember Island Players. I looove when shows do creative series recaps instead of clip episodes. :D

My favourite episode of LOK so far was A Leaf in the Wind. I liked how well it contrasted Aang and Korra while she was trying her best to learn air bending. xD; I also loved how she met the Fire Ferrets and got involved with them.

 

[pokemonranger109]

One of my other favorite episodes in Avatar is the invasion on the palace when the fire lord Ozi isnt there..
And in Korra the newest episode I just finished.

Spoiler:

At the end Councilmen Tarlock shows Korra he's a Blood Bender and cn bend non-full moon.
