so what the blueray has a darker filter? big fucking whoop....

>>112962
Not necessarily; all HD shows are stored in a compressed format on a hard drive. More compressed than your average Blu Ray disk. Everything shown on TV these days NOT from a BD will look more washed out.

>good dads too, like Hakoda, Tyro, and Tonraq
How did you forget Tenzin. He almost makes up for all the bad dads by himself.

>>112946
For what it's worth, the same dynamic never appears twice. Azula and Zuko seem to have been set against each other from the very beginning. Iroh and Ozai were probably always distant due to the huge age gap. Amon and Tarrlok used to be very close and in the end genuinely thought they were doing what was best for each other.

>>112960
I wouldn't say Azula and Zuko were set against each other from the beginning. Even in 'Zuko Alone', where we see Azula picking on him and Mai, we later see that the two were playing together happily when the news about Lu Ten's death came. And then there's the hazy flashbacks that Zuko has in The Storm, which shows two figures running and playing in the hills, although that's unclear as to whether Azula is the second one.

So I'd say there's always been a mixture of affection and intense rivalry there, it's just the latter often won out, which is pretty much the opposite of Amon and Tarrlock.

>How did you forget Tenzin. He almost makes up for all the bad dads by himself.

Sorry, I was really tired when I wrote that and started off with only ATLA characters at first, then added in the LoK ones later and somehow missed Tenzin, for which I now must hang my head in shame. You're completely right about him, he's a fantastic dad. Oh, and let's not forget Aang himself. Even though we haven't actually seen Daddy Aang and his kids in anything other than fanart, you know he'd be great, and just look at how his kids turned out. Can't wait til we see more of them.

And now I'm wondering about Zuko and Sokka. I can totally see Zuko acting like pic related, trying to overcompensate for his own lousy father. Mai would probably keep him in check, but I bet he'd be the type to spoil his daughter. There hasn't been any official word on whether Sokka and Suki spawned yet, but I bet Sokka would be a really fun dad with his wacky antics and attitude. You can tell from the flashbacks in LoK that it's carried over at least a little into his adult life, so he'd be good with kids.

>>112957
>I don't remember any prominent sister/sister pairings, just sister/brother ones. I feel like the former is severely underrepresented in media that isn't specifically geared towards young females.

I think you're right about that, unfortunately. And also like you said, sister/mother relationships aren't very common either. Mothers seem to get the short end of the stick overall, which is why it was nice to see more of them in LoK. Given the fit that Nick pitched about having a female lead in the first place, we're probably lucky they got any focus at all.

We have NSFW tags for a reason, posting a pic after cutting out 80% of it is just being a tease!

Not to belabor the point or derail the thread, but you're still laboring under the false impression that your intentions mean fuck all other than what actions you take to express them. Then you could probably benefit from reading this.

Weird. I deleted and reposted that about five seconds after I first posted, but my computer got hung up and ended up showing up after all the posts responding to it. Just to clear up confusion, these posts...

This actually is a fantastic article, by the way.

It was okay. Lots of a potential.

>>112795
The Thundercats reboot pilot had lots of potential, it doesn't really matter if the writers then go on to squander it.

>>112827

It does matter whether the show still has the potential in spite of the fuck ups of its writers in the first season. There's no reason to just give up on Korra. Its first season, while weakly written, was way more entertaining than all the Thundercats reboot.

More like public "solutions".

I seriously don't think the Equalists have killed a single person yet.

I mean, that'll probably change when they start dropping bombs from the sky, but you know. Decent track record so far.

>>103806
Unless the bombs are full of candy...

That would be awesome.

OH! Or they could be modernized versions of the Stink n Sink! "Nooo, Amon is dropping stinky sticky shit on us!"

Why would she ever wear shoes? To make shit easier for the criminals?

>>112391
Because she isn't blind, and she doesn't want to get tetanus

someone needs to rewatch the scene. Theres metal on the bottom of her shoe that slides away before her foot hits the ground

>>112182
Huh?
I don't really think any of them is a bastard child. Well, I hope they won't write that... It would be kind of lame.

Azula's probably going to be locked up in the asylum again, though in a far better state than she was at the comic's beginning.

Oh hell yeah I'll be buying it this weekend. Gettin' paid today.

>>112354
I assume there's going to be an MP3 version? I'll hold out for that, since I use my computer to listen to stuff and ripping CDs is a damn nuisance, but fo sho this is definitely getting my money.

On the upside, this finally prodded me to buy a bunch of other Avatar-related things off Amazon that I'd completely forgot about.

At what point in time are they?

Damn, that was fast. Thanks a lot for the links; seems I was just in luck. Let it be known that +/a/ is awesome.

Eh, better than me. I find myself surprisingly addicted to Toko.

I have to admit. As opposed to shipping as I normally am... I really do have a soft spot for this pairing. I don't know what it is... I think part of it being a holdover from the Baroness on G.I. JOE (there was an episode where she and Duke... or one of the main JOE's kind of bonded a bit...), but I've always has a thing for bad girls/villainesses falling for kindhearted guy despite herself.

All in all, despite the excuses, explanations and whatever else bullshit I might come up with to justify the thing. I seriously think these two are just fuckin' cute together.

>>112133
The point of shipping is to have fun, you don't need an excuse for that. Sadly, some people take it way too seriously.

The force isn't Ki, its tiny microorganisms that surround all living cells called midiclorians.

Midiclorians are just microorganisms that thrive in high force environments, not the source of the force itself.

The more you know

>>112077
That is much more tolerable! Although I still dislike the idea of Jedi's having DBZ-style Power Level Scanners.
