Legend of Korra: 1, 2, 3

I lied. This wasn't the post I wanted to make after THE HUNGER GAMES, this is. But then the first post just got super long and I had to cut out my thoughts on the first two episodes. So here they are:

EVERYTHING IS BEAUTIFUL. I was watching some the old episodes and the quality difference is stark. They've stepped up for Korra.

I LOVE THIS SHOW SO MUCH <3333

As far as bending privilege goes, we already know that things such as entertainment seem to be reserved for benders only. So if a non-bender kid grows up dreaming of being a pro-bender, they can't. And non-bending boxing doesn't seem to be popular or any non-bending entertainment for that matter. But this is only the first three episodes. We still don't know much. We'll see how they play this out.

I don't know why people were mad about Korra being so shamelessly naive in the first episode. I'm excited about how much she's going to grow in the next few months.YESSSSSSSSSS. People don't understand character development. There's gonna be SO MUCH growth, in story and character, this series. I'M SO EXCITED!!!! \O/ I'm honestly excited for the brothers-relationship development. I love the way their team treats siblings in this ( ... )

SAME HERE. I WISH WE COULD JUST MARATHON ALL 12 EPISODES NAOWWWW. And then the next 14 soon after, but I'll cut them some slack because I know they're still working on this one.

Also, who had the idea that Amon = Bumi? o_O Like KING Bumi???

Bumi is one of Katara's and Aang's kids, and it was posted on ontd_lok that he was a non-bender. It looked legit, anyway.

OOOOOOOOOH, RIGHT RIGHT haha XD

Also, I take back what I said about "bending privileges." That's probably the way non-benders see it but they don't analyze BEYOND that. This is an amazing summation of my feelings <33333 (Edited link)

/last edit, I swear.

That certainly made me think. While I can imagine non-benders being welcomed into and doing well on the police force, the gangs, the City Council, and even the Firebending Royal Family, there's the fact that WE HAVEN'T SEEN ANY OF THEM. So it's perfectly possible that they are being excluded, explicitly or implicitly is irrelevant. (Sh*t, how did I miss that ( ... )

Yeah, there's a lot we haven't seen so people are just speculating with what they have atm and it's interesting to see...THAT'S WHY WE WANT MOOAAAAAAR!!!! I wonder how much they'll cover in these 12 episodes. Sadly, it's not a whole lot, even with the 14...I wonder if they'll cover it all in 26 episodes. I hope so <333 AND MAYBE THEY'LL BE A THIRD SEASON AND ON :D
