Well considering Aang wore the same damn outfit for two seasons straight, I'd say she's doing pretty good. :p

Usually Earth people are portrayed as being like their element, Slow, deliberate in speech and thought. Toph's attitude has always seemed more Fire, a trait she shares with Korra...Not sure how Air is supposed to be the opposite...

I believe i read somewhere that Toph was created as an opposite of Katara's character.

I watched the latest eppy, and a lot of people here called it.

Hiroshi Sato wasn't Amon, but he was building weapons for him. Clever of him to frame Cabbage Corp (whose owner gets the award of funniest line with "Not my Cabbage Corp!"), but not so smart to attack three of the toughest benders in Republic City. I'm still not completely trusting his daughter, though she turned on her dad at a critical point. Now what will Amon do?

Very, very good.

I was looking through the wikipedia and apparently the voice actress that voiced Azula gave voice to the wizard in Diablo III.

Saw the latest episode last night, and it was great. I think the shorter seasons may be pushing them to move the story along at a brisk clip. The original show had some enjoyable tangents, but the core conflict didn't ramp up nearly this fast.

Cabbage Corp as a red herring was a brilliant idea. They must've known that fans familiar with the previous show would pounce on that after seeing the end of the last episode. It's also interesting to see that Lin has either inherited or learned her mother's earth bending sonar "vision." Having that ability as well as normal vision must make her formidable in a fight.

Lin was taught the same style as her mother learned from the badgermoles, so makes that she has the same "sonar vision". Aang had that ability too, it was shown during the ending battle with Ozai just before he took away his bending.

They also seem to have more budget for animating the fight scenes. Every time they have an extended action sequence, like Tenzin going all out on the mech, I'm struck by how amazing the animation is.


When Sato said the wall and the mechs were pure platinum, do you think he meant they were plated with a thin layer or were all the parts solid? If it's the latter the geology of the Avatar world must be a lot different from earth.
Yes, it is as bad as you think, and they are out to get you

Everything is significant until proven otherwise.
