You think no one looked out their window when a sudden light appeared? The only reason he wasn’t caught is because they were already watching him and were waiting to make a move.

But taxes!!!
Said anyone who doesn’t know that minus $600/month that only covers the basics plus $300? in taxes that covers a lot more is a net savings.
But only for doomsday events. You get a 40 day notice.
Back-room alliances √
Build up of new weapons √
Bunch of other things √
Maybe its time to make friends with the doomsday peepers…
That’s sad. Someone asked “what does she like?” and someone responded “TikTok”. At least the other stuff on the box is an actual theme.
Love that she has fully embraced 2005 YouTube. Gives us hope for the future.
For me the downside is the precedent it sets. Yes, most of us agree getting rid of TikTok is a good thing, but how long until they start banning other sites “for the children”? How long until they target federated sites they can’t control “for the children”?
To top it off, it doesn’t solve the data harvesting problem their so scared of with TikTok. They only care about that one because the data is going to China. Instagram and others can stay because they are American companies spying on citizens.
I always understood it as guiding the lightning through your body in a path that doesn’t kill you. I assume it has to be converted into an energy that doesn’t cook you along the way. The energy can’t just be absorbed or directly pass through sensitive points such as the heart, so it must sent back out, converting it back to lightning in the process.
I believe the energy conversion step is limited to a fire bender. If anyone tried this, they’d just fry themselves.
That’s how I think of it, no idea what cannon is.
True, but still a horrifying thought if someone does figure out how to weaponize it.
Which part?
That’s chapter 1 of the book, and pretty minor to the plot. I don’t think readers are surprised to find out that she was the Avavatr
She look a short vacation lol, she came back and did Avatar stuff (see comics).
Her loss of Avatar cycle was just crappy writing. The Avatar State in ATLA and the novels was “god mode”. Korra got a “small power boost” so the plot can happen. Avatar state Korra should have creamed Unalaq before he ever got the chance to merge with Vatu.
That being said, I look forward to the series moving on too. I do hope they can band-aid adult Korra’s character in flash backs/spirit world with out just deleting her personalitly.
That’s certainly is an interesting direction. Being post-apocalypse could help bring us back into “fantacy” territory, especially for future Avatars.
Although it’s shitty for the white lotus to take 1 twin, but leave the other limping around on the streets.
Finally, the hardest thing for me to believe is that Jinora didn’t deus ex machina prevent the apocalypse?
It also gives Kyoshi misidentification vibes. We already did that guys, let’s do something else. Cut the misidentification part, and have no one out there looking. Maybe instead, at some point this kid finds out by mistake she the Avatar and now her and her twin have to keep the secret while accidentally doing avatar things (I.e helping people and getting into trouble).
Alright let’s go over these 1 by 1. My commentary is looking at this chart (and many like it) as a list of different bending styles. If was just a chart of different techniques, it’d be fine.
It has been a while since I’ve read the books, and I hasn’t read Roku yet, so my book knowloage and overall memory isn’t 100%
I may be entirely wrong here and there or forgot something that could change/add to my quick analysis of everything from memory.
Also not questioning the existence of any thing (cough spirit bending cough), just deciding if they are a separate form of bending or just a technique/skill within the main form.
(This is the most negative)
I modified the order to group a few of these together.
Healing and Spirit - no complaints here. These are both unique enough to consider them separate from water bending. (Unlike projection, sprit actually uses water as the medium to accomplish the task, so its still water)
Blood and Plant - technically they are just bending the water inside something else, but if we count metal and blood, then plant should be included too. The control and finese required sperate these from mud.
mud - I though about including it with blood and water, but no. If picking up a fish with water is called water bending, so is picking up a rock. I will accept it is more difficult to bend, perhaps feeling heavier to bend.
Ice and Steam - these are phase changes. While a more advance technique, the questions is do they stay? I think if we consider lava bending as changing the phase of Earth to liquid, then it stands to reason both ice and steam can stay. However, from a bending cultural perspective, these should be lumped into mainstream water bendebendeing.
Sound is from Yangchen, although I believe it was more of a technique to make loud noise with air. That being said, technically any bender can use their element to make a loud noise.
Unsure where plasma came from.
“Shaman”, I believe is in reference to Korra; when she was beaten at sea and rescued by the fire benders. The old lady did some kind of fire bending healing, similar to water healing.
I too am a release candidate, but my marketing sucks.
I’m sorry! Anakin killed them all, so I couldn’t ask what their preferred name is! 😢
Fair, I took the daylight and crowded area as a defence for Zuko doing it at night with seemingly no one around.
