Hello !
First part of the episode : the United Forces are coming, led by General Iroh Junior, he's personally attacked, I'm beginning to cry, Korra is saving him, I'm crying for good, he's supporting her and talking about his grandfather, I'm done, he's talking about Commander Bumi, I want the episode to end now.
Second part of the episode : we discover that Tarlock is Amon's brother, I said it first, that Amon is a waterbender, I said it first, that her fu**ed up father taught them how to use bloodbending at 7 years old, I'm desperate, that Tarlock didn't want to and Amon was forced to, I'm so sad, that they finally both acted to have revenge for their father but in different ways, I'm done. Amon, he has such a conflicted relationship with his father, but also with bending. So taking the city and also taking people's bending away, it's related, but in such a messy way, it's heartbreaking in fact.
I'm still french, so I'm still sorry if my english hurts you.

Laura, did you notice that Amon used to have the same hairstyle as Korra π€? Well almost the same anyway. I will admit that I was a little disappointed to find out that Amon was a waterbender because I really thought he had spirit powers or something π. But the actual story isnβt so bad. I think itβs very nicely written, in fact! Excited for Death Note tomorrow and for the finale of season 1 next week!

It worked for me because the story totally got me, I found it perfectly done and explained, so I chose to not see what was around and go to go for it. Asami deserves the best, I agree, and for sure she deserved better than how Mano treated her. But you are also going quick by thinking she could be with General Iroh, I'm not even sure they talked to each other. But I understand the enthusiasm for a potential power couple here π

2021-08-19 10:56:59 +0000 UTCThis is the example I was thinking of when I say that the pacing is bad. Tarlock revealing that he was Amon's brother felt underwhelming for me. The exposition dump that followed felt like it was being forced upon me. It didn't feel organic to the story; it really felt like they knew they didn't have time to flesh it out so they're shoving all this information up to you as fast as they can. The story still makes sense, I just didn't like how it was handled. Not to mention, the blind acceptance of said story. I mean, come on, Tarlock has shown to be nothing but manipulative this whole season, and Korra believes him just like that? I can believe that Korra might be naive and gullible because she's been so sheltered her entire life, sure, makes sense I suppose, but Mako has no excuse to believe anything Tarlock says. Tarlock put him, his brother, and his GF in jail, as well as bloodbended and kidnapped the one who he wished was his GF. He should have been the voice of reason and suggest that maybe Tarlock was full of crap. While I'm on the topic of Mako, I honestly wanted to like this character. He's reliable, brave, cool, and hella strong. But his romantic arc just ruins his character so much. So so so so much. Every time he complimented Korra I kept cursing him, like, "bruh, when was the last time you said ANYTHING nice to Asami?! You know?! Your *actual* girlfriend?!" Asami deserves better. I *love* the fact that despite the crap Mako and Korra (but really mostly Mako) put her through, she didn't turn. She knew what was right and was wrong, and didn't let her personal feelings lead her to the darkside. She is a QUEEN and she deserved better than Mako. PS: Also, to be honest, I was kinda shipping Asami and General Iroh at this point. I think they would have made an amazing power couple. I'm also sure that General Iroh would have been raised right by his father and grandfather on how to treat a QUEEN.
