Ohhh now I finally get it. Just saw the painted lady episode and I realize what they're trying to show. The fire nation is winning the war and they have all these horrible machines, all this technology. To make them, they have to destroy the environment in the process. The other tribes live in harmony with nature. But the Fire nation pollutes rivers and roads all in the name of conquest. Even their own people suffer as a result.

By the way it seems some of them are prejudiced, they scorned Katara because she was a water bender even though she helped them countless times. Of course they learned their lesson and helped each other in the end.

Yeah, I don't think they're as dumb as you're implying. I don't think the Fire Nation are supremacists or anything, they just want to rule the world. Having a group of earth benders subservient to Ozai would probably tickle his pickle. He probably would reward them just by keeping them around as his enforcers in the conquered Ba Sing Se.

You really think so? I kind of got the impression that the Fire nation were based on ww2 Japan, so they would be supremacists and look down on anyone not of pure fire blood line. Plus the show kind of portrayed it as every nation is homogenously divided and fights against the other, that being the Fire nation since they instigated the war.

Plus don't the dai li have families or ties or anything. I wonder if they feel bad at all.

Thing is, Azula gave me the impression that she's the kind of person who would easily betray them and have them killed once they served their purpose... Then again she was serious when she let Zuko return to the Fire Lord with her in all their glory of victory, so I guess maybe you're right. That one still surprised me, I was sure she'd zap him too and throw him in the same cell as Iroh.

What are your thoughts on toph bending metal now? I enjoy toph's character a lot, so didn't mind it but just wondering if it makes sense in context. They already gave Azula lightning powers after all. And I guess technically being able to heal using water is an added perk of water bending.

Anyway I was actually too upset by book 2's finale to even want to continue on to book 3, but honestly it's not bad. I feel like they're doing something very interesting: showing how the Fire nation live. That should add some more depth and an extra layer to the show.

Sigh it's just so infuriating.

The dai li basically betrayed their people and opened up ba sing se to invasion by the Fire nation. What do they think the Fire nation is going to reward them? They're still earth benders at the end of the day and pose as a threat right? So they basically screwed themselves by allying with Azula.

I just find it weird that they did that.

Just wanted to watch porn in peace but no this dude calls me wanting to hang. We've got nothing in common and I'm just not into staying out late doing nothing in particular.

I was at best buy yesterday and they want 30 bucks for batman and Robin 4k. Who comes up with these outrageous prices?

No one's gonna buy Batman and Robin even if it was 3 bucks. Hell, you couldn't pay them to buy it. Therefore, whoever is crazy enough to actually want to buy Batman and Robin, is gonna be the kind of person they can price gouge 30 bucks out of.

It makes sense in context.

Yeah but worse, it was literally in the rain. And they did the whole misunderstanding thing for cheap padded drama thing so he has to chase her down and explain thing. Just a shame.

They... They lost. Aang straight up lost against Azula. What even... I need to sit down for a minute.

Oh no Katara! Aang you've got to save her quick the Fire nation girls have got her! This is it we're almost at the finale for book 2! I can't wait to read all the posts with spoilers people have been posting itt.

Wait, what's this? A... neutered Zuko? Is this a trick? Or has he really finally let go of pain, and anger, and the need to constantly hunt the avatar and such?

We'll see.

Omg. Azula is straight up terrifying. Does anyone itt even like her? She just scares the bejeweled out of me. They have infiltrated the earth kingdom and fooled the earth king as kyoshi warriors. Despicable!

I don't understand How anyone in this topic likes ty lee either, she's one of the bad guys! And she hurts the good guys no less with her bending blocking power. Irredeemable.

and the girls because of the cause going from rage to feeling "a tingle in the back"

Omg what.

No seriously what

I don't know about better movies, I just know that I was a little disappointed it suddenly turned into a straight up romcom. That's not how mental illness works!

It was real and almost raw at times showing his crazy, but then they went with "love conquers all" in the most ridiculous way.

I know some movies have handled it better. But I did it like when I first watched it despite all that. Her winning the Oscar is just straight up ridiculous though.

Goten and present Trunks cheapened it and then the female U6 Saiyans made it midichlorian levels of stupid

How?

Hah they finally overthrew the dai li dude. But... So basically the earth king IS a buffoon. Still, What did the faing long dude think was gonna happen once the Fire nation break in? All his subterfuge and machinations (which lay undetected for years) will be for naught when the Fire Lord razes the city to the ground.

And it seems he still has a hold despite everything...

Stuff like this always wrecks me

Huh, Jet redeemed himself in the end. I hope he finds the peace that he deserves.

Also wow at Zuko. Setting Appa free, doing a good thing... I dunno what to feel.

I'm still unsure if I want to see Henry Cavill grinding and thrusting away

Oh I already watched tales of, that was a great episode too. Iroh in particular was just... heart breaking.

Also omg was the voice actor for iroh that one voice actor, the one who voiced Aku from samurai Jack and several other characters? It just hit me a couple of episodes before when I finally placed why he sounded familiar.

That Appa episode absolutely wrecked me V__V

Who rebel Wilson or Melissa McCarthy?

Holy fucking crap that ending was terrifying. Brain washing is always so terrifying. They're doing it to Jet right now so he forgets there's a war going on.

This is so idiotic, the Fire nation was just about to break through their walls with a drill, what do they think is gonna happen if they bring more of those things? There's no point to keeping "peace and order" in the city if they're taken down and there is no city.

I'm so sick and tired of being alone

Omg now it's Jet vs Zuko!

This show is so good. Did I mention this show is so good?

The gang are sneaking into the palace to see the king. Something is up with this city I just know it

Joey speaking complete gibberish when trying to learn one French word.

Just google "temporary email"

Thanks! That worked.

Holy crap at that giant drill the Fire nation have!

Now I see what you guys mean when saying the Fire nation has superior technology, they really do. The other nations are downright peasants compared to those steampunk designs.

It's like seriously other nations, what are you even doing?

Huh, despite making Sokka the butt monkey they sure give him a lot of love interests to pair up with. That's what, 2 or 3 girls now?

Omg omg it's Jet! Jet and Zuko, what an interesting pairing. I love it, so much potential there.

So yeah they pretty much make sokka the butt monkey but... he does have occasional moments of wisdom or where he gets something right.

Poor Appa... getting captured by marauders and sold :( . I hope they make it to ba-sing-say and rescue him soon. The way Aang looked and how broken he was at Appa being missing.... The feels.

But at least we'll finally see the capital of the earth kingdom guys! A place even the fire nation hasn't taken down yet.

I tried creating one so I could make an account on a semi porn site, but neither gmail nor hotmail let me make an account without asking for my phone number "to send a verification code"

I remember when I watched that video and felt like I finally found a kindred spirit who gets it

It's cheaper tc, so they don't have to make new environments. They just reuse the same assets again and again. Why do you think agrabah world is in literally every game?

Damn it's on Disney+? How many of the seasons?

Oh I was kinda hoping you were bringing news of a newly announced entry since I actually liked/still like the series, even the reboot that everyone whines about. They're fun games to pass the time in between other games.

If I was smooth or even remotely good looking I'd want to say a line about making one with her because I think she's so pretty.

Season 8 was hilarious. Much glorious memes.

How you managed to get through season 5 and 6 though... good Lord those were infuriating episodes, so bad.

How is ratchet height of relevance, game came out more than 5 years ago?

I just don't get how the air nomads were wiped out. Air bending seems pretty damn powerful. You can fly, you can create gusts of wind... heck could they possibly create something as powerful as hurricanes?

If the Fire nation gain the power of flight to their war... god help us all.

Ah ha, so just like how water benders get their power from the moon, fire benders get their power from the sun. And during a solar eclipse, they actually lose their bending!

I'm with the owl though, humans kinda suck. Nice callback to how Zhao found out about the identity of the moon in an underground library.

I had no idea it was a cult hit when I first watched it. Just remember being really entertained by this great movie. Fun times.

And Finally, they met Toph! I had heard of the blind character years before watching the show and kept waiting for her to show up.

She's a lot different from what I was expecting. Strong-headed, sometimes crass, and very blunt. Not at all meek and sweetly like I was expecting her to be. She not only holds her own, she kicks ass

Oh okay. Damn that's not a lot of time.

I don't get Zuko. On the one hand, he did something that made me really hate him, he stole the horse from the woman and daughter who showed him kindness and took him into their home, fed him, even after the daughter showed him her scars from the Fire nation.

And yet a couple of episodes later, he helps a boy and his family against some bullies in the village, ultimately revealing his identity as a fire nationer and receiving their scorn.

So that's Ty Lee. Were the posts itt that were into her just like her because she has an exposed midriff? How very pink ranger of her.

So Azula's entire posse is a bunch of highly trained girls, interesting. So basically the fight is now a three way between Azula, Aang, and Zuko. How long does he even have before the comet arrives?

Nah, she will get some stuff still

Does she even need to? She's basically rich enough to own her own apartment now, she's set for life.

You already saw Iroh redirect lightning in The Storm. Also, its a firebending ability because fire and lightning are both plasma.

Oh shit you're right I didn't even think twice about that. I just saw it as a funny scene since Iroh looked comedic all scorched. But for it to be foreshadowing for a later plot point is just... brilliant. This show is so much smarter than it has any right to be, how is this from Nickelodeon (I didn't even know they still made cartoons well into the 2000s)

Oh ok. I'd personally say it would make more sense for an airbender to make it, or rather maybe an air-water bender hybrid to make lightning
