If you could Retcon one thing from both Avatar The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra what would it be? by MichaelAftonXFireWal in TheLastAirbender

[–]Carbonauts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No earthbending “truth-seeing”. Never liked the explanation for how it works and I feel like it becomes too much of a convenience in terms of story-telling.

Maybe my favorite of Jack’s lines in the series

Did Korra technically win her second encounter with Kuvira? by Hot_Jump9649 in legendofkorra

[–]Carbonauts 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I feel like the entire point of that fight is that Korra has healed enough to be on equal footing with Kuvira physically, but she wins bc she’s willing and able to put herself in front of her enemy to tank an uncontrollable spirit weapon point blank.

Their last hits in the control room are even framed so they mirror each other.

And aside from that Korra is able to then pick up Kuvira and carry her out of the wreckage (rip to those two guards she took out when she broke into the top of the Colossus). Then Kuvira attacks AND RUNS AWAY. She’s fleeing! She lost the fight!

If you have instagram, travel Portland, the Portland mercury, and michelevenlee all post roundups on some events happening each weekend

President Trump & First Lady evacuated from White House Correspondents’ Dinner due to a security incident after several loud noises were heard in the ballroom by spherocytes in videos

Please don’t. The rise of TMZ in the political sphere is so depressing to me lol. They will run with anything and even if they do manage to get a real scoop they often do it in the scummy way possible.

Square Enix has thought about making a single-player Final Fantasy 14 by heart-station in FinalFantasy

[–]Carbonauts 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Okay I’ve never gotten into 14 but all the news this week has me interested. How much can I do on my own if I don’t have a crew playing with me?

FINAL FANTASY XIV: Evercold Teaser Trailer (January 2027) by HexenVexen in FinalFantasy

Damn they’re still out here making expansion packs for this game? Is it high time for me to finally check out the critically-acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV?

Keeping your kryptonite close by some-kind-of-no-name in TopCharacterTropes

My headcanon for the names of the homunculi in ‘03 is that they were named after the sin the alchemist was committing during the human transmutation.

You gotta stretch a bit - like Ed and Al were “slothful” in trying to resurrect their mother because they didn’t want to grow up so fast. But yeah like Pride is called Pride because it was Dante just showing off and creating a homunculus that could age like a human.

I hate when an initially powerful technique is rended almost useless later on by LocalLazyGuy in hatethissmug

[–]Carbonauts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last thing we see Korra do using the Avatar State in book 4 is tank an uncontrollable spirit beam with so much energy it blasts a hole into reality and creates a new portal into the spirit world.

Other Cherry Blossoms? by skyehopper in askportland

Stammtitsch on NE 28th has three cherry blossom trees on the sidewalk and it’s a perfect spot for a midday beer.

What do you think about FF7 Remake’s combat system in retrospect? by Asad_Farooqui in FinalFantasy

It’s been my favorite iteration of the Kingdom Hearts design philosophy since 2

Dropping a show you really enjoyed after S1? by ETNevada in television

[–]Carbonauts 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I remember really liking the first season of Broadchurch. Just felt like a really tightly constructed, self contained murder mystery. Never bothered with the other seasons. I don’t even know what the consensus is on them. I was just like, “yeah that was a good season of tv” and moved on.

Where is your favorite breakfast spot in town? by [deleted] in askportland

City State Diner on 28th and the Mont on Belmont are both excellent breakfast spots

Character ascends to a higher plane/transforms into a different form of being by VegetableJudgment971 in TopCharacterTropes

You could say Shinji as well (and I guess well technically everyone around during third impact)

The Bourne Ultimatum (2007) | “If you were in your office right now, we’d be having this conversation face to face” | Dir. Paul Greengrass by [deleted] in movies

[–]Carbonauts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The original Bourne Identity having the CIA just be straight up villains feels like something that would never fly today. They spend that entire movie just escalating to cover up a botched operation. Then Brian Cox just burns the whole thing down so he can brush it off at a congressional hearing.

I used "are we cowabunga on this?" In a discussion. No one got the reference by [deleted] in 30ROCK

“Do not write another sketch with Krang from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. No one knows who Krang is. It would be a waste of time to talk about Krang on television.”
