The Legend of Korra/Awesome: Difference between revisions

== A Voice In The Night ==

* When Tarrlok mentions Aang in his speech, this exchange happens:

* Korra immediately freezing the gas she fell for in the last episode.

** The raid itself was pretty awesome as it was basically a SWAT raid -- but with ''waterbending''!

== The Aftermath ==

* Asami taking a stand for what's right, {{spoiler|even though it means turning against her father and knocking him out with his own lightning glove.}}

** She also takes out [[The Dragon|the Lieutenant]] with her self-defense skills and [[Hoist by His Own Petard|his electrified kali sticks]]. Mind you, he defeated both Bolin and Mako by himself, and held his own against Korra (though she eventually beat him). He only stood up to Asami for a ''few seconds''.

*** This has a lot to do with fighting styles, Bolin and Mako are long range fighters, while Asami is much better in close combat (this is also what gives the Chi-Blockers such an advantage over benders in the city).

* Mike and Bryan actually taking the time to make a complete set of rules for pro-bending that make perfect sense. No [[Golden Snitch|Golden Snitches]] here!

During test screenings, though, boys said they didn't care that Korra was a girl. They just said she was awesome. }}

** It's not the first time boys watched [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|a show with a girl lead]] [[Star Trek: Voyager|and liked it, either]]. [[Take That]], Conventional TV wisdom!

** Come episode eight and it looks like he's going to spend the rest of the series competing fiercely with Tarrlok for that particular title. To elaborate, Tarrlok needed three episodes to establish himself as a [[Manipulative Bastard]] wielding [[Fantastic Racism]], but it took ''just those last five minutes where he fought Korra'' to put him right up there with Amon.

* Congratulations should go out to the team behind the series for being so ballsy as to pitch such dark tones. Not only did we have scenes that reflected elements of public executions and rape, we also had an '''actual''' terrorist attack in episode 6. Somehow Nick let this slide and aired the episode nonetheless. The creators are really bold for giving us such a strong and dark series.
