This is just awesome.

Watching Legend of Korra and wondering…

While the entire show is more modern compared to Aang’s time, why is the only thing that degenerated the swimwear?

This:

Somehow “evolves” into this:

Yeah, I was thinking about that, too. I liked the swimming clothes in ‘the beach’ a lot more… Bryke just wants us to beg for topless pictures of Mako and Bolin I guess…

episode 8

team-vampirebarbie:

When Extremes Meet (?)

Read More

My guess on that title is that she finally meets Aang. As they are said to have opposite personalities, they can be called ‘extremes’.

Korra finally in the avatar state is also a possibility. Maybe Amon wants her in the avatar state, so he can eliminate the avatar once and for all?

Super nice man…secretly building weapons for the enemy.
Korra: The Aftermath —> Avatar: The Northern Air Temple

The difference is the Mechanist had no choice but to build weapons for the enemy but he immediately stopped, Hiroshi had a choice and is blinded my Amon’s idea of “equality”. Both of their children are not proud of that they did.

Theory ( sorta )

thecabbagepatrol:

Hello fandom. I would like to address the state of earth bending in republic city right now. Many people have lamented how metal bender police have set aside large scale earthbending in favor for metal bending that will help them be more aerial in their movements. No doubt this evolution has been necessary for them in cosmopolitan, over crowded republic city(epic arena glass dome battle). But for me, the battle in hiroshi’s underground warehouse was a tad underwhelming. There was so much things they could have done with the earth. Bend a huge hole to render the mechs immobile. Bend pillars of rock directly at the mechs. And if what hiroshi said is true, that the metal is so pure, then I will hazard a guess( based on what little things I’ve actually learnt during Chem) that it would be pretty malleable.
Well, mostly ranting. Any thoughts(or corrections regarding my measly Chem knowledge?) (:

Hey Guys!

Do you see this Symbol on the wall in City Hall?

Notice how every council member is wearing a sort of emblem in the same shape:

Notice the lack of emblems on Tarlock:

I even checked his three ponytails to make sure:

Pretty suspicious if you ask me! :I

Avatar Theories on Amon’s Ability to Take Away Someone’s Bending.

the-tales-of-ba-sing-se:

“The true mind can weather all the lies and illusions without being lost. The true heart can tough the poison of hatred without being harmed. Since beginning-less time, darkness thrives in the void but always yields to purifying light.”

- The Lion Turtle

When Aang talked to the lion turtle and he learned how to take away bending, he talked about the true mind and the true heart which is the source of an individuals ability to bend.

So when Aang took away Ozai’s bending, he places a hand on his head and a hand on his hear indicating that he has taken the ability to bend from his true mind and true heart.

Not to mention all the really bright, fluorescent energy light.

But when Amon takes someone’s bending, he only places a hand on their head. Not on their heart.

He’s taken the bending from the mind, but maybe he hasn’t taken it from the heart. He isn’t doing it correctly. So, what I’m saying is, that maybe he’s taken their ability from their mind but not from their heart, and that it’s still deep within themselves. I don’t think that what he does is as permanent as he would like people to believe it is.

-Ren

This supports the theory that people only think they lost their bending even more.

Bolin is a Metalbender?

keelancarol:

Watch the scene with Mako and Bolin tricking the metalbending offier. The ground is clearly metal. So when Bolin trips the officer, he does so by bending the ground. But the ground is metal. I wonder where he learned it from? Maybe a certain academy that Toph created perhaps (If it’s still around)?

I think the ground is just some kind of stone.

Ahhh, retakes… If you have been following this blog for a while, you should know that retakes are the bane of my existence. You’d be amazed at the number of technical retakes (mistakes in the animation) we have to fix in the average episode. We catch the vast majority of them, but some inevitably get through. Like this one. Ouch. Everything about retakes and the retake process hurts my soul.

Not that we ever claimed to be, but we are not perfect, and the show is not perfect. With an average of 14,500 finished drawings per show, and 12-26 shows in production at the same time, a few mistakes are bound to make it past the bleary eyes of the hard working animators and us at Nickelodeon. And many times it is just too late in the process to do anything about it, or the energy of the crew is needed to put out a bigger fire.

And with you guys dissecting this HD footage/GIF fodder frame by frame, our butts are even more exposed. We’re trying to figure out a way to get you guys to call the retakes for us, since you seem to have the time, energy, and interest to comb through everything. You guys won’t leak anything, right?

An oldie, but goodie… We made this silly little video for the Avatar panel at the 2008 San Diego Comic Con. It occurred to me that the only versions out there on YouTube were videotaped from the crowd, so I thought I’d post a clean version here (if one can refer to this as “clean”).

Now, I don’t want to cast aspersions or hurt any feelings, but for some of you I feel the need to explain that this is all a joke.

joke |jōk|
noun

a thing that someone says to cause amusement or laughter, esp. a story with a funny punchline: she was in a mood to tell jokes.
• a trick played on someone for fun.

Who’s going to San Diego Comic Con this year? It is coming up fast. We’re cooking up a really cool panel that, while not a unique format, is different from anything we’ve offered in the past. Looking forward to seeing you there!

By Korra letting Mako go, she’s opening up one of her chackra’s like when Anng let go of his feelings for Katara to go into the Avatar state.

So maybe the same thing will happen soon with Korra

fuck my fucking life

I JUST FUCKING THOUGHT OF THIS

HOW LEGIT MIGHT THIS BE

I SENSE THE AVATAR STATE HAPPENING REAL SOON.
