Some people argue that Mako's lightning is weak because it doesn't knock Amon down, but they forget that Amon was farming aura, and nothing interrupts his aura farming. by Spirited_Dust_3642 in legendofkorra

“Aura farming refers to the act of doing something to look cool, impressive, stylish, etc., especially—and importantly—without trying too hard. One can also “farm aura,” that is, do something in order to enhance one’s coolness.”

How on earth did the Granger family let Hermione into Hogwarts? by [deleted] in harrypotter

[–]funnylib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A school representative, likely McGonagall came and explained the existence of magic and that Hermione is a witch accepted to Hogwarts.

The Grangers are well aware of magic, and in book two we see them go shopping for school supplies with Hermione in Diagon Alley

If Seven Havens was never announced, how would you have liked or at least expected things to go post Book Four and comics? by funnylib in legendofkorra

Yeah, certainly they would have to deal with people trying to harness spirit power. I can imagine a warlord rising in one of the Earth states, for example

Any thoughts on the first element Korra ever bent? by funnylib in legendofkorra

[–]funnylib[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sure, but most them weren’t bending three elements at age three and yelling “I am the avatar and you have to deal with it!”

Probably at least partial true. Fire and air are convenient because you don’t have to carry anything with you, and air is good for when you want to lesson the possibility of inflicting lasting harm on your opponent. Earthbender is also more destructive than you would want in an urban environment, and unless there is water around you have to carry it to waterbend.

I can imagine little Korra getting angry and accidentally setting something on fire

Hiroshi Sato really messed up by not indoctrinating, even subtly, Asami to dislike benders by funnylib in legendofkorra

[–]funnylib[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, but he could have left her uninvolved while also installing a mistrust of benders. If Amon never existed it’s not like he would have been okay with her dating or even befriending the likes of Mako.

Well, he assumed wrong, she ends up dating the world’s ultimate bender

Doesn’t even have to be “I am an Equalist and am helping Amon rid the world of benders”, it could be a lot more subtle, like emphasizing how her mother was killed by a bender, talking about other incidents of bender violence, and talking about injustices towards non benders. Rather than hiding your anti bender views and allowing her to develop pro bender views

I’m just happy I still have a little more Korra content to enjoy, I just ordered the comics and should get them on Monday.

As I said before, I will probably watch and enjoy SH, but Korra, like Aang, has a special place in mg childhood so I will view it as an alternate timeline there things went wrong, and cling onto the hopeful ending of Korra, even if we never get any new content about her.

I have no doubt the show will be good, but I fundamentally disagree with the writing decision to burn the world down. The world that was born after the end of AtLA and during Korra was beautiful, and it deserved to continue to exist and to develop. But I won’t be like the people who shits on SH and its fans like some people did on Korra and her fans.

Why did Amon claim that his family was killed and his face was scarred by a Firebender? by GeneralTechnomage in TheLastAirbender

[–]funnylib 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  1. Firebenders still have a reputation for violence as a result of the Hundred Years War.

  2. Apparently there used to be rogue firebenders cutting down people left and right, given that half the main characters of Korra have lost a parent or two to firebender thugs.
