What do you mean about Zuko? I thought the change was a little abrupt but they have 20 minute episodes, and if Toph and Su have discussed it and accepted each other it seems childish for Lin to continue sulking. Not sure they could have dragged it out further without making it seem like Lin was being belligerent for…

I complained about this after the first episode where he magically heated the rocks to slicing temperatures. I honestly don't think they're ever going to explain it. We'll just be left to assume he has great enough chi to vibrate the particles on an atomic scale or something. The show has done this a number of times,…

Without a doubt this season is shaping up to be miles better than the other two. Each character is getting properly fleshed out, and even Korra is now managing to say things that are a little smart and not just bratty and irritating. It would be awesome to see whether receiving the title of master would make Jinora…

Not bald. Just had her hair shaved so that the forehead tattoo was very prominent. Behind that she had extremely long hair.

Does nobody here watch Futurama? Morbo was the chef in this episode!!!!!

And thank you for completely missing the point. We can have opinions on whatever we like, btw, whether it's "our business" or not. But more to the point, buying into an open-ended series means that there is a reasonable expectation that it will be finished to the best of the author's ability. The author is free to do…

I'm sorry but this is the first thing that came to mind when I read your comment:

I think people often miss the point of these "entitlement" posts, whether on purpose or because they genuinely do not see it. We can all agree that an author is not legally bound to do anything after writing his first book and having you buy it. It could end in the most massive cliffhanger ever, and he could have…

I like these kinds of posts because they make me feel so, so young. Thank you io9 :)

Ahem..... Imma leave this right here:

LOL. I read what you wrote. My comment about talking over each other meant that we disagree fundamentally on what's allowed and what isn't. I agree that we're talking about a magic world where only four "elements" are inexplicably controlled by a select few, so in the end we're arguing semantics and preference here.…

I think we're just talking over each other at this point. We've been told that firebenders control heat/energy. Extrapolating that, within reason, to include things that we'd expect people who eject burning jets from their hands doesn't shake suspension, even if it breaks a few actual physical laws. All those…

Didn't see any entry except for the quote at the top. I agree that they're multiple inconsistencies in this show, but this brings us to a bigger argument about the suspension of disbelief in general. We believed that waterbenders could freeze water because we see that happening every day. We believed that firebenders…

Yes, he applied a core philosophy of another discipline to his own. He was not massively violating physical rules. The lava is still rock, yes. But you can't just apply the concept of liquidity to solid rock and expect it to magically become liquid! That was why Aang couldn't bend earth initially; rock is not liquid.…

That may be possible, but again, even lightning redirection doesn't cross into another style of bending. Iroh said he took the concept of using one's energy against them and applied it to redirecting lightning. He didn't use lightning to build a wall of water or something. We already saw sandbenders who looked more…

Toph's discovery was that metal was just very refined earth. It was essentially the same, with some elements stripped out. Concentrate on the impurities, and you can move it. It doesn't really change the kind of bending you're doing. It's a little more nebulous with Sparky-Sparky-Boom-Man, but I kinda figured he had…

I don't quite agree with all your suggestions but I agree with the overall message, which was that Season 1 was rushed and very poorly resolved. The season was excellent up until they ended it in 12 episodes. Season 2 was generally bad. But that ship has sailed and it seems the writers have crafted a fresh genuine…

The breath idea seems like the most devious, which is probably why airbenders either never tried it before (coz they're nice people) or tried it and quickly forbade it. It also seems like the only one worthy of "new" status. Hurricanes are just large amounts of air, Avatars have been making those since forever. And…
