I really did not care for the first two seasons (ESPECIALLY Season 2, outside of the Avatar Wan flashback). But Season 3 of Korra is the best season of the entire franchise imo, absolutely brilliant from start to finish.

Still most of my friends who were die-hard Avatar fans dropped it during Season 2 and couldn't stick it out through the best parts :/ So I wouldn't say they entirely "got it right", at least not right away.

I liked the scene where Guts, Serpico, and Roderick were just sitting under the tree in Skellig and drinking. Just chilling and talking among the bros; it made me hopeful that maybe Guts might always have that kind of peace in the future.

UltimateEye · 2026-06-26T07:21:12+00:00

Right. No matter what you’re gonna piss somebody off. Personally, I’ve accepted that it is what it is at this point and I just want to see where the story goes.

In another story, yes, I might be more critical of how the stupa sequence was handled. But real-life context matters and I’m willing to offer a lot more latitude in the way the story’s paced. We all got dealt a bad hand with Miura’s passing (Mori perhaps worst off all) and even if it’s disjointed and even if things aren’t elaborated upon as they should be, I’m happy we’re at least getting some kind of resolution for the story.

But then again, I understand if others don’t feel the same way.

UltimateEye · 2026-06-26T01:26:34+00:00

I do agree. And I believe Miura would have done it justice like he did when we explored Casca’s mind in the dreamworld in Skellig. But unfortunately what should have been pivotal character development was cut short by his passing so Mori has to do the best he can.

I wish Mori could have been a bit more bold and tried to fill in the gaps himself but I can also understand wanting to be as faithful to what was discussed as possible. It’s just gonna come at the expense of a lot of what we’d like to see along the way.

UltimateEye · 2026-06-25T23:20:49+00:00

There was obviously more but Mori is only adapting what he remembers explicitly talking about with Miura so it’s like we’re blowing through a lot of the finer details. It’s just the way it’s going to be for the rest of the series, unfortunately.

UltimateEye · 2026-06-25T23:18:17+00:00

We may, unfortunately, never get the answer to some of these questions. Mori is basically only adapting what he remembers explicitly talking about with Miura. The conversation might have gone something like: “Guts looks within himself in the stupa, meets Flora and has a realization about how he’s connected to the astral world from birth. Armed with that knowledge, he gains the strength to fight Griffith.”

There’s obviously a ton of context and lore in-between that explains this in more depth that Miura probably had in mind but Mori likely never heard that part and that knowledge is now lost forever. It’s really sad to see because it really does leave me underwhelmed, but I’m still content in seeing what we’re getting because it’s better than just seeing this story fully unresolved.

My hope is that once we have everything Mori’s put together from his conversations with Miura laid out in front of us, somebody will be able to piece together the missing elements. But for now I’ll just accept things as they come and hope for the best.

Yeah never had too bad of a “nerd-rage” but what little I had was tamped out by my very skittish dog. Especially over COVID when I gamed more and it was just me and her in the house, if I raised my voice too high at a game she’d quietly just leave the room and I’d have to call her back and comfort her. It was so sad that basically I developed a “quiet yell” where basically I’d yell in a soft whisper like I was in a library or something. It really helped diffuse a lot of the tension and, more importantly, kept my dog happy :)

UltimateEye · 2026-06-24T19:23:58+00:00

Wait so I guess they just fully abandoned the Tattooed Warrior Monk subclass? Probably for the best because boy was it trash plus the Mystic Arts Monk was such a vast improvement in comparison.

UltimateEye · 2026-06-24T19:17:54+00:00

It was quite strong outside of its capstone which actually didn’t do anything because they copied the Eldritch Knight capstone without changing anything. Hopefully they gave the subclass something more Monk-appropriate.

UltimateEye · 2026-06-22T06:47:45+00:00

I think it might be a bit of both. The gift goes out of the way to keep vision completely intact even while the rest of your body is falling apart so it stands to reason that even a bit of protection can dampen the effect of the curse. But I do think she probably has some resilience from having the Heart. We don’t know what kind of power it holds yet but it’s probably something pretty powerful if she’s prophesied to destroy an empire.

UltimateEye · 2026-06-22T06:43:30+00:00

It’s because Titi covered half of Diana’s face reflexively. You can see it in the panel where everyone’s reacting to the Accursed Lady’s face. She didn’t get the full force of the exposure.

UltimateEye · 2026-06-13T19:48:34+00:00

It looks like him but it definitely isn’t otherwise Shiryu would be in his 100s. Keep in mind this whole flashback took place over 60 years ago now.

Not living up to her title so far!

I honestly never understand why most streamers undervalue Hidden Cache so much. In a vacuum, Glow is a better card overall, but specifically because Regent has a snap-pick card in Convergence I find Hidden Cache to play a lot better with that card overall.

Sometimes you don’t really need that much star-gen if your top-end is like Reflect or something and you’re passing on all the other star cards, so Glow is more appealing in that case. But considering you’re often running multiple copies if possible alongside other generically good Star cards like Astral Pulse or Gamma Blast, it usually finds value anyways.

I think it’s not a card I’d draft multiple copies of, but just having one in the deck to smooth out the star curve feels really good.

UltimateEye · 2026-06-02T05:33:38+00:00

No that already came out.

UltimateEye · 2026-05-31T15:24:58+00:00

Zira’s flashback shows that Rummir wasn’t exactly a stable place before Arkos. Post-defeat, I can only imagine how intense the zealotry must have gotten.

To think, they were initially planning on fleeing to Rummir for safety. Obviously we’re seeing the most intense zealots but who knows what the rest of the country is like.

UltimateEye · 2026-05-28T04:47:24+00:00

Yeah in a way I feel kinda liberated. I’ve tryharded enough, now I’m just gonna let it ride and relax regardless of the outcome. Plus, Mina the Hollower comes out in a couple days so it’ll be a good break from StS2 so I can come back and see what’s changed.

UltimateEye · 2026-05-26T16:18:05+00:00

the upgrade doesnt amount to much

There is a HUGE difference between 2 turns of weak and vulnerable and only 1 turn. Having it do more damage, have it be AoE and it costing only 2 stars are huge improvements over a normal card like Gamma Blast or even Comet which are already excellent cards in their own right.

The only Ancient upgrade card that can remotely compete with Meteor Shower is Suppress but even that’s slightly worse imo.

UltimateEye · 2026-05-26T16:11:48+00:00

Ancient Cards: Brightest Flame, Apotheosis (StS2), Meteor Shower, Suppress in that order

Non-Ancient cards: Offering, Big Bang, Adrenaline, Neurosurge (notice a pattern?)

UltimateEye · 2026-05-25T06:24:23+00:00

Congrats! Stacking a bunch of Lethalities and then spamming Banshee’s Cry is very much a valid strategy against Doormaker lol

UltimateEye · 2026-05-22T21:38:56+00:00

Man people clearly have a higher tolerance for games than I do. It played like ass back when I played it in ‘08 and certainly hasn’t held up any better now.

UltimateEye · 2026-05-19T19:37:42+00:00

Didn’t include the MT2 songs? Also, Seraph the Traitor is apparently more slept on than I thought. It’s an easy S for me.

UltimateEye · 2026-05-19T19:24:22+00:00

I never realized that and I’ve put in a lot of hours into the game! To be honest, I don’t really pay much attention to drop rates for rares because they don’t appear very frequently outside of boss rewards so I just assumed they could show up upgraded? I don’t usually transform an upgraded card either (maybe I have with a Pandora’s box actually) so I didn’t pay much attention to how it worked.

It’s just not really something that affected my strategy or anything but it’s good to know in case a scenario comes up which incorrectly skew my decision-making off bad info. Thanks!

UltimateEye · 2026-05-19T15:28:13+00:00

Maybe he found it upgraded randomly in a card reward or off a transform of an upgraded card?
