*Republic City, a global city and possibly 2nd largest in the world, destroyed
* Rebuilding Republic City will take generations and put an immense strain on the world economy

That's like watching "Beer Bad" and saying Buffy sucked.

"I'm not going to debate the merits free market vs government. The original post was addressing the sovereignty of the people. And regardless of how you feel the government benefits people, you can't argue that more government makes you more free.
That's just not reality. If I have half my paycheck taken from me, I'm…

They were evenly matched this time I thought. Then I realized that they were evenly matched when they were inside an entirely metal room with no water and that when they got outside Kuvira immediately legged it.

"The US is FAR from perfect, but at least there's mobility here, at least the government isn't strangling our economy, and the bureaucracy isn't as extensive. "

To be fair, I felt similarly about Katara, though not to the same extent. Of course she had some really great episodes and moments outside of series 1, but I never felt she was as good as the other members of the cast and I never really bought in to Kataang.

Great minds conform to peer pressure alike!

I knew that Korra had great production values, especially in the first season, but I never knew it was that expensive.

Evangelion did not have a bi protagonist. Shinji was at a vulnerable point and Kowaru was basically the only person he could talk to. It wasn't any sort of healthy interaction, even by EVA's standards; it was more like Kowaru was like some sort of male femme fatale, manipulating Shinji to get what he wanted.

Not even touching Korra, but how on earth did you get S1 of ATLA as better than ATLA S3?

We aren't less free.

He was probably the most able king they've had for generations.

Technically it's Sato-Watertribe

The rails were definitely the worst part of spirit tracks, but I loved the interactions between Link and Zelda, the two player mechanic.

…OK.
