I don't know about this new series...
I was a humungous fan of TLA since it was released but this new one...
The bending isn't as unique for the protagonists like how Toph was the only metal bender and they aren't "bending masters" either like Zuko and Katara were...
That doesn't matter to much though, it's Amon's "power" that bugs me. Aang was the only avatar to energybend, and now Amon (from what we know so far) who was pretty much just a civilian before the spirits granted him "the power". (Although he still is pretty badass)

I'm betting he's a descendant of the Fire Lord. It would make sense, given that the Fire Lord experienced energy bending first hand.

Yea the part that gets me is that we see a lot of metal benders and lightning benders too. Only 3 people were ever able to lightning bend before and they were masters. Above being masters actually. But the metal bending i think is pretty cool. I like how Toph's daughter is their leader. Makes you think that Toph trained only her daughter to do it and she trained only her loyal police to do it. It seems that most fire benders can also do lightning now. And lightning was like the "whole crap" ace in the hole in TLA.

Not true about Toph.

they are doing a 3 comic book type thing series were it explains what happened in the gap between the end of TLA and Korra

Toph opened up a Metal Bending school

also about the lightning bending my guess is just that over time technology and techniques etc allowed just about any body to do these bendings

**leif rolled a random image posted in comment #4035925 at FJ Pony Thread ** it's different from the original, but i have to say there is a freakish amount of potential in this series... and i wanna see if they pull it off

nonono, you'll see, i think amon doesn't really have the power to take away bending.

I suspect subterfuge and trickery!

I was thinking that too, mostly because when Aang did it there was a glow and of what the giant sealion turtle told him. That only when your energy is pure then you can take it away from other or something. When Amon did it nothing happened really. I think he was able to put Ti Lee's style in the equation but instead with the brain. Shutting off the energy from going to the body completely.

Wow, I didn't know it was 3, I thought it was just 2,but yeah I have the first one (The Promise Part 1), and to be honest it's not that great (the first one isn't) MAINLY because Iroh isn't even in it!!! D: whyyyy!!!! The next one comes out in may.
User avatar #87 to #85 - TheCodFather (04/24/2012) [-]

User avatar #88 to #87 - kmanthreesixty (04/24/2012) [-]
Um I bought it for about $14NZD, but there are some places online where you can read it too, if you want I can find you a link? It's really short too...
User avatar #89 to #88 - TheCodFather (04/24/2012) [-]
That would be cool

Were only three episodes in, it's far too early to be judging it, first impressions maybe but you weren't really talking in first impression tones if you know what I mean. I'm skeptical Amon will actually be who he says one way or another, as are many people. Of course there are other metalbenders, why wouldn't she teach people? Amon's power will be explained in future episodes without a doubt so just be patient, all will be revealed.

Haha that is not the first time I have been told that :D I guess I'm a bit to into it. I just think this series has the potential to be either amazingly good or quite the opposite... I just hope they don't screw it up...
User avatar #53 to #45 - Twikki (04/24/2012) [-]
I love it already but for me it's completely different because Korra doesn't have to go through the mentally and physically exhausting journeys that Aang had to in order to master all four styles of bending.
User avatar #86 to #53 - kmanthreesixty (04/24/2012) [-]
Yeah but I'm guessing she is going to have to tune with her spiritual side soon. I'm kinda sad that they haven't shown her in the avatar state yet... I'm interested to see if Aang is going to help her like Roku did for Aang...
