Holy run-on sentence Batman!
>If Bryan and Mike actually care or understand anything about their own series
Remember when Air Nomad Monks and Nuns were supposedly celibate until they confirmed they're not at a convention panel? FUCK THE MIKE AND BRYAN.
>they'll retcon all of that crazy bullshit about airbending being tied to selflessness
No. Airbending is a defensive style first, spiritual second due to all the meditating, and offensive last since its basic teachings are to avoid conflict whenever possible. Aang avoided conflict whenever possible. Korra loves to fight and craves control over her environment.
>and Korra saving her forever girl
lawl.
>and bending not being controlled by different styles of kung fu any more
*pro-bending* not just regular bending. Did you see Lin and Tenzin throw jabs at the mechatanks? Did Lin sprawl when she gutted the fuck out of the airships? What about IrohII and his based as fucking lightning zaps? Pro-bending is inspired by MMA, *Mixed-Martial-Arts*. It's supped to be a mish-mash of all styles in a quick compact form done for sport, just like IRL MMA.
Look at how UFC evolved from its inception in the 90's putting Sumo dudes vs. Karate, Judo, Kempo, Gung Fu, Boxers, and the rest of the gamut of fighting styles. What finally emerged was a prominent leaning toward Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu which kept fights relatively safe and turned the bouts into give-and-take chess matches. Just like pro-bending on Korra. If you slip up once, your opponent can end you in the snap of their fingers.
>because for the first time in history benders from different nations talked to each other, apparently.
Iroh learned to redirect lightning from watching waterbenders.
Republic City is the first Avatar World CityState with inhabitants of all nations living under one government, founded by Aang, and something all future Avatars must protect.
Do you even watch this show?
