Legend of Korra 1- 3

We watched the first three episodes of the Legend of Korra.  It's a gripping sequel to Avatar:  The Last Airbender set in a believable world with the creation team's trademark attention to detail.

BO LIN IS THE CUTEST OF CUTES. I also made the connection with Tenzin. Unfortunately because hes behind a mask we can't even rule out if its him if we see them together, because Ammon could easily have body doubles and voice recordings, etc.

And there's always the possibility he's a spirit monster who's slipped past the veil after Aang's death.

Spirit Monster might right, but I feel like its some sort of Karma thing. My lil' sis pointed out that it was Avatar Kiyoshi that created the Dai Li' and you see what a pain they were. The same with fire sages at the temple and Avatar Roku not dealing more decisively with the Fire Lord during his life time.The clues to Ammon, his identity and his ambitions can be found in the things that Aang did and failed to do.

I have a prediction: Ammon will successfully take away Korra's bending and her spiritual journey willbe getting it back.

IDK Next episode Korra challenges Ammon to a duel. There's a clip from one of the series trailers where Ammon tells Korra, "I'm saving you to until last." That's part of my evidence for it being Tinzin.

She definitely needs to journey to the Spirit World. Ammon's claim that the spirit world gave him his powers can only be validated there.

My theory is that after Aang died but while Korra was still a child there was a great disturbance in the Spirit World. Tinzin tried to correct it and was corrupted.

I love how Korra is everything Aang looking back would have wished he had been. I find myself doing this with My Little Pony. All my life I've been Twilight Sparkle, but watching the show I wish I was Pinkie Pie. :)

So none of us buys the story about the firebender killing Ammon's parents?

As far as we know chakra blocking is temporary and Ammon claims his actions were permanent. More importantly Ty Lee hit very specific pressure points on the body when she blocked chakras. Ammon's technique for taking away bending was identical to Aang's which the Lion turtle referred to as bending the mind or mindbending. Now the only witnesses to Aang's technique were Suki and Sokka.

Taking away bending seems like something Soka might actually want to study and learn. Perhaps Sokka did learn it, Ammon somehow got the information from him and then killed Soka to keep it secret.

I wouldn't call them "witnesses", they were kinda busy. But everyone had to know that the Phoenix Emperor had lost his juice and be curious about why.
