>and i was soooo waiting for Amon's backstory, cos i knew he >wasn't just guna be an all-out villain. i love how the entire >Avatar series paints sympathetic pictures of all the villains. >Amon/Noatak was no different to the OG series' Sozin/Roku >backstory. everyone's got a motive we can believe and even >understand.
yeah, the backstory was good. not to mention how it contrasted with Mako/Bolin's relationship. i love the running theme of family in this series. in the original, the kids kind of made their own family and things were warm and fuzzier. this time around, folks are older and they deal with the fact that sometimes family can do shitty things. and on a somewhat related note, Tenzin's brother Bumi seemed awesome, LOL. oh, and glad to know the secret to Amon's power.
>i was genuinely SHOCKED at Tarlok's final act of mercy. not >the decision *i* would've made, but ye. honestly didn't pick >it. just as Noatak shed a tear, too. daymn thats tuff stuff.
i know! i'm thinking like, "was that a murder/suicide on this damn cartoon?"
>altho i think all the characters are pretty swell, i couldnt >help but think thru the ENTIRE finale..."poor Asami" lol. >sheit i wish i had Mako's problem like i used to back in the >day: do i stick with hot bitch #1? or go for hot bitch #2? >plus his treatment of Asami in general has been pretty mean >and ungrateful. he's probly my least fav character atm. Bolin >stays at the top, a VERY worthy successor to the now-legendary >Sokka.
Asami mos def got played, and i'm wondering if that's gonna bite them in the ass later. maybe she can hook up w/ General Iroh. but Bolin would help to lighten her mood.
>this season felt like it emphasised "crappy fathers" as its >theme lol. Yakone being the obvious big choice (sidenote: >ALWAYS awesome to hear Clancy Brown on a toon), and of course >Hiroshi. and i guess in the end it becomes about breaking the >cycle of violence and revenge, to prevent more new ghosts >being created that will haunt future generations. sins of the >father n all that. yep! i mentioned that above.
>other than that, still absorbing it. wouldn't mind seeing a full-on flashback to the original crew just after their defeat of the Firelord, if just to hear the OG voice cast one more time (but in their late teens or sumthn).
i wouldn't mind a webisode of that or something. i still wanna know what happened to Zuko's mom.
overall, i liked how Korra is so different from Aang and that it wasn't really predictable. i was geeked to see her enter the avatar state.
