Avatar The Legend Of Korra

Episode 9 spoilers

Spoiler

Well, it looks like that whole lightshow theory is debunked, and we got a pretty good look at how the Aang takes bending away.

Spoiler

Well, if I'm remembering this correctly, Aang still lit up when he performed the energy bending on Yukonne. Still nothing from Amon. Also, Aang held his hand in place; Amon pressed it against Tarrlok's forehead and removed his hand pretty quickly. It may turn out to be true after all; we'll have to see.

Anyway, another amazing episode. I don't know how the creative team is managing to keep this up, but hey, I'm not complaining. That season finale will not be here fast enough.

That's the magic of 24-26 episode series.

Oh, absolutely. I know a lot of people have complained that the pacing is too fast, and I can understand where they're coming from. It would be nice if we could spend more time with these characters. At the same time, though, I'm glad that we're getting the filler cut out. When something happens, it's moving the plot forward.

Still, it would be nice if the series really ends at episode 25, and episode 26 is just 30 minutes of the characters partying like fiends.

Also, figured this gif would be worth sharing:

After seeing episode 9, I can't wait for next week.

Spoiler

Amon is so op, unaffected by blood bending like wtf.

When I saw Aang as an adult, I was like...

Daaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyuuuuuuuuummmmmm!!!!!!!!

Aang done grew UP!!! lmao

If he was still alive...

:-p

But, no, I knew his assistant would burst his bubble eventually, and Karma came back to Tarlok when Amon (or Aman, idk, lol) took his bending away. I wanna believe that Aman is also an avatar or some sort of bender as to how he was able to withstand Tarlok's bloodbending.

I wanted to add in my GIFs to fully describe my emotions about this episode... but stupid rules and stupid restrictions... lol

I bet in the Season finale Amon would take away Korra's Water, Fire and Earth bending and all she's left with is air.
Or Mako's bending is taken away to save Korra.
Or it may be revealed that Amon can't take the Avatar's bending away.
Or All her bending is taken away and she reclaims it in Season 2.

 

[Centrix]

I seriously doubt guys that Korra will ever loose her bending for one simple fact she is the Avatar look how Aang handled that blood bender once he enter the Avatar state. I bet he'll go to take it away than boom she'll enter Avatar state she'll either beat Amon or he'll run away and it will end for book two earth!

^Problem is.... taking bending away IS an avatar-exclusive skill. So anything can happen I guess. I like where this is going. Good show so far.

Glad I saw this in the thread ticker, I didn't know a new thing was coming out ...



STAND BACK EVERYONE!







The kraken is being unleashed.

Swinging around like Spider-Man, becoming a vigilante like Batman, getting dressed like Iron Man... let's face it, Lin is pretty much every superhero at once.

And I'm okay with that.

taking bending away is not avatar exclusive, theres turtlelions that do it all the time. we dont know if not every bender has the ability to tap into this acient bending art.

also, seeing amon withstand bloodbending calls for hack.
how would it be possible? unless he himself bloodbends too, there should be no way to resist the fact that the blood in your body is lifted or pushed around or whatever.

(on that note, bloodbending should really lead to more deaths, the body isnt made to have blood flow in any other direction than the one it already flows in)

Don't you get it yet?

Spoiler

In the moment when Aang died, Korra was born, but Aang wasn't dead yet. Aang already lost his bending, but he was re-built as a steampunk-cyborg who now hates bending. He then became Amon, and I have somewhat of proof to my theory.

In the Avatar state Aang shuck it off pretty easily so maybe Amon slow walk at the start means it takes him a while to gather the energy to block it. I am questioning why there weren't more prisoners though and why keep some people such as the metal benders.

well they never kidnapped people to go missing, they just show up, take peoples bending in that area, and leave their asses there; or they bring people to Amon's public rally. Amon himself wasnt present at Sato's mansion, so they had to bring the police force to him

snip

I know I'm really beating the bush and maybe they had more people they just weren't shown but with Zolt and others were they released or not was never really answered. If they weren't shouldn't they be there since the Equalists weren't paranoid enough to leave the area after the attack on their rally and If they were why not release the metal benders did they see to much I suppose that is possible or they would be released later. I guess it really isn't that important.
