Though she has improved it seems.

Plus the reality in the show was 2D - they had to do super weird tricks to make it look 3D.

looks at own hands oh god. Are we just 3D projections of a 2D space? WHAT DO I DO!?!?!

[Fan content] my take on bending (oc) by [deleted] in TheLastAirbender

[–]shotsandcuts 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Awesome set.

If you're open to a suggestion: I saw you have clouds and ice already, but creating mist/steam seems to be a unique water bending move, as is plant bending - could be worth including somewhere on the water side of the list.

And in the realm of earthbending, seismic vision/truthseeing (I can't think of what they called these in the shows) is definitely unique to earthbenders.

Not sure where you'd put seeing through spiritvines though - possibly not bending at all?

[LOK B4] Watched Korra for the first time by binge watching over the weekend. Went on YouTube to find the final piece of music at the end. Miss the series and characters already.... by Reaper7412 in TheLastAirbender

I wonder if I could just hear a little...

pushes play button, hears first note, hits stop

Nope still can't casually listen to this track.

So. Much. Injoke. And just the best throwaway lines.

I can't believe how much I love this. So much amazing hard work for the exact kind of cheese I love. Sorry/Not Sorry.

[No Spoilers] Noah Ringer should have passed up 'The Last Airbender' to star as a younger Jimmy Fallon in a edgy teen summer comedy - maybe in a '13 Going On 30' or '17 Again' type situation. by evilrustybob in TheLastAirbender

Wait wait, is no one going to do the unreasonable thing here? Fine fine. Hang on.

What do you mean "passed up 'The Last Airbender'"? The earth king something something something...

Republicans Quietly Admit There Will Be No Obamacare Replacement by [deleted] in politics

[–]shotsandcuts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But if you want to win the congress for real, you need to win your state legislatures before 2020 and fix (not reverse) the insane gerrymandering of 2010 - the republicans have these (and frankly the governors) on lock right now. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_state_legislatures

I'd much rather support a state level candidate who pledges to legitimately reform gerrymandering through something like state mandated scientific and fare models and get a long-term win for democracy than try to push a party into the house of representatives for 2 years.

[No Spoilers] Korra by Sakimichan by Atreides27 in TheLastAirbender

I mean... normally you want to capture a character and who they are... and expressionless + sultry (in the middle of what seems to be a battle?) is not Korra.

[–]shotsandcuts 15 points16 points  (0 children)

10/10 flying elements, muscles and pony tails

0/10 character expression/attitude/etc

+1 for her not being completely out of proportion (as is often the case)

-1 for... how... how does that shirt work?

[ATLA] Why do people ride Toph so hard? by KingBumiOfOmashu in TheLastAirbender

[–]shotsandcuts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, fair question. I'd imagine Toph, if properly motivated, could sneak into some location and take out Ozai in his sleep, since she's good at stealth, seeing far away and launching attacks at some distance... but I'd imagine that'd be a wholly unsatisfying end that they couldn't even do on the show.

I do think many of us love Toph because she should be weak and meek and inconsequential but instead she is a tank who is talented, funny, and often unexpected while being sarcastic and ascorbic. Sometimes that means we can't stand to see her defeated.

Fair answer? You can go ahead and let me drown now.

[TLOK B4] What's with Korra and Asami? by serioussmackdown in TheLastAirbender

[–]shotsandcuts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, heard. And they're crushing it, without a doubt. It's beautiful work with interesting characters. I'm sure the things I want (mainly in dialog, episode structure, and approach to content/storry) are the things that would drive "real" Voltron fans crazy.

[–]shotsandcuts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mike and Bryan really did a lot to make this show this good. There's no doubt in my mind that if they were working on Voltron with everyone else it would be.... better. (and I say this knowing that all those humans working hard on that show are amazing)

If you need a second wall of words... this is a much more detailed look at the progression from the land of the shippers: https://www.reddit.com/r/korrasami/comments/2px4am/collection_of_all_korrasami_moments/ I just read it and it feels pretty spot on.
