Caught The Drill on Nicktoons this afternoon. Yeah, there's no way this show will ever come close.
You do realize we are only 5 episodes in right? Jesus christ.
I feel like Mako is a combination of Zuko and Katara.ain character receiving by far the most screen time,only second to the main character and has been the main focus of the last 3 episode even more then korra(last episode meets asami and gets sponsership for games,his brother got kidnapped which lead to him to spend some time with korra and talking a little about his past and now it's him being unsure of the girl to pick).
mako just needs to bring something to the table other then Trojan horse teen love triangle drama, he comes off as zuko lite and at the moment he feels like his there to please the crazy zuko x katara fans that are still angry from last show.
I don't even care if his zuko lite at this point I want the teen drama over, his like one big device for it, plus his quite out of place since he lacks any humor.
Great follow-up to the super serious last episode. Man I love this show. Tell me there is a GIF of Bolin crying and running away, cause that's gunna get some play.
kolin was the greatest romance of avatar history (((((
WTF is a shipper?
kolin was the greatest romance of avatar history (((((
somebody that places massive importance on relationships in movies, cartoons, comics, live action shows, etc
One thing to clarify. When avatar was in its first season, only 13 episodes had been approved in the beginning. And yet they still chose the pacing they did. Korra's pacing is leagues improved. Further, the tone of the show in general is much improved.1.legend of korra shorter then the 20episode season 1 of the last airbender so I expect things to have a quicker pace and be tighter cause of the shorter run time.
So, people who are into romance story lines?

more like people who are obsessed with them to the point of near madness
So they made an episode with an engaging romantic plot to make fun of them? I don't get it.

You're probably right.I dont like this better than TLA talk or better pacing talk at all. Nearly every episode was world building and had some relevance to the plot, they were trying to make us care about a world that Aang had to save.
1 and 2 established the plot and main cast of book 1 also introducing tonnes of concepts.
3 showed us what happened when Aang left and showed the ruthlessness of the Fire Nation.
4 introduced us to Kiyoshi, Kiyoshi island, showed us that not everyone wanted to be involved in thr war, gave us new allies, gave Sokka some character development.
5 introduced Bumi, nuff said.
The shows are very different and the way theyre dealing out the pacing has their own merits.
Another amazing episode of the show! I've started watching Avatar because of Korra and although I think that show is good, I just don't seem as interested in it as I am with LoK. I wish the episodes were longer because I seriously can't get enough.
Given how some of them act you could see why its done (it can be similar to the stuff in console wars).
you can read this for some more.

Dude...it provides literally ENDLESS amounts of entertainment. Now, granted, I'm a masochist who hunts for shipping wars and watch from the sidelines, but even still. It's probably one of the most genuinely entertaining/sad things to watch unfold on the Internet.
Just watched the Korra episode. Bolin is amazing, and that crying part had me in stitches. Beyond that, definitely the weakest episode in general for me. And Mako is on my shitlist for how he he acted here.
You caught the mention in The Spirit of Competition right? Cuz that was f'in hilarious.
I had a big sad face that whole scene. I kept shouting "oh no! Bolin don't cry! You poor guy!" I saw it coming from a mile away, but it still played out so well.
And yeah, I'm finding Mako less and less likable. Not because Korra kissed him. He's just an insufferable jerk all the time, and all this talk of "Bolin is all I have" really doesn't matter, because he doesn't act like he's got Bolin's best interests at heart until it's too late.
I'm hoping Mako redeems himself soon, because I don't think I could stand a whole season of Bolin being the good guy that's constantly getting shit on.
Pretty much how I feel. Mako used Bolin's feelings as a bullet point against Korra in the episode, but he really doesn't seem to give a shit. Asami also seems to have no idea any of this was happening, which is a real dick move and is a trait I can't stand in people. He's going to have to do a lot to redeem that in my eyes.
I haven't stepped into this mess before cause I don't really care about shipping (seems pretty clear to me what's gonna happen relationship-wise) but really ... I can't see a single thing Mako or Korra did wrong this episode.
Mako feels conflicted seeing as he has feelings for both girls. He's also not stupid and knows that Korra feels the same about him ... so he tries to get Bolin to stop before he gets hurt.
Korra, after being rejected, felt ok with going out on a date with Bolin who was charming her up pretty good with complements which made her feel better. It was a simple date, not some symbol that they're now in a relationship.
I don't see how either did anything wrong. Just seems like a ton of projection and such going on personally.
Yup nothing wrong with his kissing Korra, then going back to Asami and acting like nothing had happened...
1. He didn't kiss Korra, she kissed him out of left-field and he kissed back after the shock passed because, as he said, he does have feelings for her.
2. From the looks of it to me Mako and Asami arnt "official" yet and are just dating (this is coming from the talk he had with Bolin, stating that he doesn't know which to choose ... seems he hasn't chosen one yet to me) so he would have no reason to feel guilty.
3. They had all agreed to put that behind them in favor of doing their current job so all that dramas cleared up for now so there's no reason to start more by telling her about a kiss.
Did I miss some reference to shippers that everyone else picked up on?
She got the yellow fan for attacking the referee.I hope probending ends in this next episode seeing as it's the end of the tournament ... that shit's boring. I had to lol when they gave Korra a yellow card for showing something that was actually creative.
Wow, this show has been terrible so far compared to The Last Airbender.
Korra's personality is not appealing at ALL; she bitches about crap all the time and is incredibly boring. This cutesy relationship crap takes up so much time of the episodes. I understand that these episodes have been building up for the plot but isn't the show like 20 episodes or so?
I hope things pick up soon because there isn't much happening in these episodes.
I was disappointed, if understanding. But I did like it, just nowhere near as much as the four before it. Although it did take me a while to warm to it. Once you accept it for what it is, and go along with the shipping for a bit, you realise it's still got the same great acting, production values, some okay fight scenes and some of the funniest moments in the show so far. I mean, it was genuinely ATLA funny, which it hadn't necessarily peaked at beforehand.
Easily the weakest episode of the season thusfar, but that's not to say it's bad. The biggest frustration is that it concentrated on this subplot, and now we have to wait another week for the main plotline to continue. However, once the 12 episodes have run their course, I think we'll be able to look back on this episode with a bit of perspective, and a bit of good humour, and appreciate that it fits in with the rest of the series.
Opposite for me and my wife. HATED Aang's personality at first. LOVE Korra's personality.Wow, this show has been terrible so far compared to The Last Airbender.

Finally, this thread made me feel like i'm the only one who loves pro-bending. And I also agree that it was good that the plot took a Bit of a backseat. You need a connection to the characters which can't happen if you only have episodes like the last fewFinally sat down and watched, just reinforces my impression, would watch an entire goddamn series on Pro-bending (though it's still not quite as cool as freestyle actual bending fights).
Seriously, this episode was the perfect palette cleanser after the headlong pacing of the last couple of episodes. Characters need time to breath and this tournie setup plus romance-bustin' was perfect for it.

Different opinions.
Is there a gif of that reaction?
It's a slow-pan over a still shot I'm pretty sure, so it's not the most dynamic. But I bet it's out there on tumblr somewhere.
