Reviving this in the interest of preventing excessive thread derailments. This applies mostly to ATLA, but LoK debates are welcome too if you feel they don't fit in any of the other threads.

Got a problem with the way something was handled in the series? Are there things that just bug you? Debate, discuss, or vent your frustrations here, just try to keep it civil.

1.) How did Korra learn to firebend, earthbend, and waterbend when she was a little kid? Aang wasn't a firebender, waterbender, or earthbender when he was a little kid.

2.) Also how exactly did the world of Avatar go from some feudal medieval society to a 20th century society with working radios in only 70 years? WTF

3.) Why isn't Tenzin kinda mixed skinned looking? Also what is the nationality of Tenzin's wife?

4.) If Appa was the only flying bison left in the world when Aang was released from the ice berg than why are there more flying bisons in Korra? What did they find extra ones? Where? When?

5.) Why wasn't there anti-bender sentiment in Avatar: the Last Airbender? Seriously benders where the ones who caused the 100 years wars. I would be kinda pissed off at benders for all the death and suffering caused because of that war.

6.) If Korra is the reincarnation of Aang and Aang and Katara where married does that mean Korra is technically married to Katara? Also does this mean the Avatar bisexual?

1. She accidentally consulted previous avatars somehow
2. It was like China during the 18th century, it was sealed off from the world because of a giant wall for a really long time (different from the wall of Ba Sing Se I guess) and was influenced heavily by western culture after it was taken down
3. Tenzin is so light for the same reason Kya and Bumi are so dark: TV genetics. Also Pema is Earth Kingdom
4. Sky bison reproduce with spores
5. People relied on benders to fight for them against fire raids
6. No because despite being direct reincarnations of one another the avatars don't share memories, relationships, families, personalities, nationalities, experience, etc., the only thing they all have in common are avatar powers like being the bridge between the spirit world and the mortal world and possessing the ability to master all four elements. Even which elements they are naturals at and have trouble learning vary between avatars.

>and was influenced heavily by western culture after it was taken down

Except there really hasn't been much "Western culture" to speak of in the Avatar world until we got to Korra. Now it's more of a mish-mash of Eastern and Western culture and technology.

>avatars don't share memories, relationships, families, personalities, nationalities, experience, etc.

On one hand, this makes the way the series interprets avatars kind of unique, but on the other hand, it tends to throw off a lot of casual fans who probably would have benefited from a more traditional portrayal of reincarnation. It almost makes the Avatar seem like s/he has multiple personalities instead, but it's interesting, so I'm not complaining too much.

>4. Sky bison reproduce with spores

Close. Remember when Appa was "shedding"? It's a little-known evolutionary method that allows sky bison to reproduce when there are no mates available. That's why the new sky bison look different.

See this screenshot? Azula has no idea she's actually holding potential babby sky bison in her hand. Which is probably a good thing, because Ty Lee would have squeed a lot harder if she knew and would ask Azula if she could keep one for a pet.

The old one seems to be autosaging.

>>90684
One possible idea to run with is SWT!Azula being even less naturally Good With People than Sokka (let alone Aang). Crashing and burning as often as not whenever she doesn't go for overt intimidation/manipulation would affect SWT!Azula's dynamic both within and outside the Gaang. Meanwhile FN!Katara would not only be far more willing to use actual diplomacy but have a knack for it (which reshuffles the situation within Ozai's Angels).

Bumping this thread because I wanted to talk about fanfics but didn't feel like creating a new thread.

I recently rewatched through AtLA and I'm in a desperate need for more Avatar content. In those situations, I tend to go look for fanfiction. However, I'm really picky about the stuff I read; I only care for fanfics where everyone feels as in-character as possible, and the story sticks to the original work's tone. So basically I'm asking if anyone can offer any nice Avatar recommendations like that? I keep finding way too much Zutara and OC shipping, as well as hurt/comfort with elements of rape and violence.

I'm particularly looking for anything Zuko-centric; either the cranky exile jerk from season 2, or socially awkward season 3 Zuko.

Posting links to some random fanfics that I found and enjoyed:

I was reading some fanfics, and found a really nice one that I enjoyed a lot:

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6441562/1/From_the_Ashes_A_New_Hope

It's an AU with the premise that Aang emerges from the iceberg ten years later than in the TV show. During those additional years, the Fire Nation manages to crush almost all of its opposition. Aang is now fresh off the iceberg in a world that doesn't have much hope or optimism left. He ends up encountering and joining two sailors; Iroh and Zuko.

Certain themes in this story heavily remind me of Rufftoon's Avatar AU fan comic (pic related; that comic is also very much worth reading if you haven't done so yet). Both stories take existing characters and put them into new situations, while still keeping their characterization feel very show-accurate.

It's also nice that the fanfic is complete, although it ends with a possible promise of a sequel.

Okay so not trying to start a new Korra thread but I searched from bottom to top on the last two and I cannot find anymore working HQ Links, especially for episode 3.
Does anyone have any?

It's such a beautifully animated show and it's killing me to watch it with such crappy quality.
I even saw some HQ screencaps so I'm figuring the episode HAS to be available somewhere, right?

Pic obviously unrelated.

Been reading so much speculation about this guy. Now I'm officially more interested in what went down 42 years ago between him and the gaang, as opposed to what's going down right now between Korra and Amon.

Apparently his name somehow translates to "blood on the snow", or something of that nature.

Camera zooms out until we can see the whole planet, then a live action Adamski-style flying saucer wobbles by, string visible.

Close-up on one of the googly eyed gloves. It wiggles to indicate speech. The voice we hear is Mike or Bryan.

Here's something that might interest some people on this board:
http://www.salon.com/2012/05/14/whitewashing_a_history/
The article is written by none other than Fail Lord Ozai himself, Asif Mandvi and is definitely worth a read.
He takes a little jab at 'Thor' near the end regarding the casting of Idris Elba. Now, I for one do appreciate some of the creative casting that went into that particular film. After all, the aim was to depict the Norse Gods as otherworldly interdemensional beings beyond our comprehension, which is cool. But the Earth scenes were filmed in my home state of New Mexico, where the population is 46% Hispanic and also has a very high population of Native Americans. All of which begs the question, where the hell did they find the one fucking town in New Mexico that has NOTHING but white people!?

Okay, I'm done now, just read the article.
