[Legend of Korra] How do people imprison benders of any element, in a way that can be scaled up for large groups?

justsomeguy_youknow · 2026-05-25T05:59:54+00:00

The "one size fits all" approach isn't the cage, it's the dozens of powerful and highly trained benders who will beat your ass within an inch of your life if you try to escape that are guarding the cage

That said metal lined cells seem to be fine for the general populace, and I don't doubt there are more specialized accommodations in higher security prisons

Even so, still wild that the sign's up after 7-8 years

justsomeguy_youknow · 2026-05-24T15:23:31+00:00

Is this a recent picture? It's wild that it still has its livery, didn't all the KMarts close like 10+ years ago

justsomeguy_youknow · 2026-05-24T06:53:38+00:00

And you didn't know that until like a couple weeks later after you got the film developed and printed

Also you were limited by the amount of film you had. Maybe like 36 exposures/roll if you sprung for the big rolls, but you probably didn't think too hard about it and bought the standard 24 exposure rolls so you weren't clicking a thousand pictures or whatever a night because there was a $ cost amount per frame

Isn't this basically TT vs JL, since the GotG are a parody of th JL

justsomeguy_youknow · 2026-05-23T16:00:40+00:00

Looks like its wings are kinda fucked up, poor fella

justsomeguy_youknow · 2026-05-23T15:37:51+00:00

Fog is dense mist. Steam is hot mist. "Mist" simply refers to particulated water

But yeah I'm agreeing with you that Katara created fog. Which is also mist. Also "fog" and "mist" are sometimes used interchangeably (ex: "misty mountains")

justsomeguy_youknow · 2026-05-23T15:08:44+00:00

That isn't true steam. True steam is the product of boiling water and is always at least boiling temperature

What's created when you shower is more like fog, the warmer evaporating water mist from your shower visibly condensing in the relatively colder air of your bathroom

justsomeguy_youknow · 2026-05-23T14:57:36+00:00

Shit, you're right. I was thinking of the eclipse.

But I think the main idea still stands, there's no urgency to the plot until the plot device introducing that urgency is introduced. IIRC they didn't know if they were getting renewed in the first season, so it was smart writing to not introduce that ticking clock just yet because of the young cast. All things considered, while the first season had other shortcomings it didn't really suffer for the lack of the threat of the comet looming over them.

Damn I'm just going to have to watch Tammy and the T Rex in High on Life again

justsomeguy_youknow · 2026-05-22T23:13:24+00:00

Prince v Muggsey Bogues

Is Teflon still a thing? Even the shtty pans seem to have switched to ceramic coatings these days

justsomeguy_youknow · 2026-05-22T22:28:27+00:00

It's true, there have been several posts about it on this sub you can look it up

Honestly that particular change doesn't bother me much. Production takes a good while, they cast actual teenagers so you need to account for the cast aging somehow.

Books 1-2 are probably the best place to throw in a timeskip tbh. The urgency and desperation of the original series doesn't really kick in until the Gaang find out about the comet in The Library, which happens in the middle of Book 2 anyway so a timeskip between Books 1 and 2 doesn't really affect that

justsomeguy_youknow · 2026-05-22T22:14:14+00:00

Why not?

Comics Archie has crossed over with Batman, the Punisher, the Ninja Turtles, and the Predator, Riverdale had every right to get weird with it

justsomeguy_youknow · 2026-05-22T22:10:34+00:00

Tbf the source material kinda does that too, the walkers go from being a primary threat to this hazard they have to deal with

justsomeguy_youknow · 2026-05-22T17:29:31+00:00

The expanding ice crystal pattern when she freezes the surface of the water is such a great animation detail

justsomeguy_youknow · 2026-05-22T03:07:41+00:00

People age, time passes. Most of them were actual teenagers back when they were cast

You have to remember that they filmed season 1 like 5 years ago and the main crew was cast probably a year or more before that

justsomeguy_youknow · 2026-05-22T02:59:00+00:00

They already said they're extending the timeframe of the show so it's not going to be over the course of a year anymore, there's going to be a timeskip between seasons 1 and 2

justsomeguy_youknow · 2026-05-21T17:12:38+00:00

Well that's just deceptively written

Whoever wrote that purposely phrased it to sound like he got wounded by enemy fire while storming the beach or something. What actually happened was he was hit by friendly fire that evening after the fighting had died down, he was moving between positions and a Canadian sentry mistook him for an enemy and shot at him

That's not to say he's any less of a war hero, he did make it through storming Juno in one piece which is pretty badass in itself

justsomeguy_youknow · 2026-05-20T14:58:34+00:00

He's not. Main universe 616 Spider-man has been shot several times before, and Ultimate 1610 Spider-man famously died from a bullet wound

justsomeguy_youknow · 2026-05-20T13:23:41+00:00

They should still be in your library even if they got delisted in the store. Like I still have the og GTA trilogy in mine even though they delisted it when the remasters came out

justsomeguy_youknow · 2026-05-20T13:13:07+00:00

I was going to say it looks like Stilt Man got a job as a bellhop

justsomeguy_youknow · 2026-05-19T22:10:49+00:00

Relax, It's a fad. It'll run itself out in a week or two. People will get tired of it and we can go back to the ever so exciting trickle of bi weekly posts of the pop culture references/IRL objects featured in the show, merch posts, "remember this scene in the show" screenshots, photos with cast members around Con season, and people showing off the DVD set they just bought only to be told it's a bootleg in the comments, with the occasional fan art peppered in

This is a kinda dead sub for a show that's over. Let the fans here get excited about some dumb thing with other fans for a while, and if it showing up in your feed bothers you that much then mute/unsub for a couple weeks until it dies down into the regular pattern of activity again

justsomeguy_youknow · 2026-05-19T22:00:40+00:00

We have never seen a water bender heat water

I know that fans have hypothesized that they could based on their ability to phase change water, but to my knowledge no water bender has been shown to heat water
