His demand that the city shut down the stadium echoed another flamboyant, melodramatic quasi-villain, the Phantom Of The Opera, to the point where I expected him to shriek “A disaster beyond your imagination will occur!”
Haha she should be a member of _lok, didn't a bunch of members here have the same idea?
It seemed like Tarrlok was deliberately setting her up to fail with that “you’ll take personal responsibility for the safety of the spectators?” thing, though, and he’s definitely not going to let that slide. I’d guess that the council is going to appoint someone to replace her next episode. (By the way, does Tarrlok have scandalous photos of the three elderly council members or what? What a bunch of pushovers.) Tarrlok’s still being animated and voiced in ways that suggest he is not to be trusted, but it’s unclear whether he was maneuvering to grab more executive power via getting control of the police force or whether there's something bigger going on.
He is totally up to something, and I also wonder why the other council members are such limp daisies- they never stand up against him at all! Also, can I say how cool it is that Tarrlok is voiced by the same guy that voices Pabu and Naga? (and Appa and Momo)
Affordable, concealable, multi-shot guns like the Colt .45 revolver were known as the “great equalizers” of the 19th-century American West, technology that evened out the advantages of those lucky enough to be born with physical strength. I’d bet that even the name “Equalists” is a reference to this by the writers.
I never even thought about making that connection, but it's so astute- it's funny, since we're in a 20's parallel, but technology wise this does line up more with the 19th century. What with the undertones of Marxism and the weaponry, the subtlety in this storytelling is amaazing.
