What would be a good system to run a game in the Avatar setting?

>>53536883
I appreciate titty monster Korra

>>53536936
Second.

More could be helpful.

>>53536883
We used Savage Worlds and its powers system for techniques, with some very modest homebrewing to allow for technique-less bending via pure skill roll. The houserule was, in essence, "You can do anything a spell can even if you don't have it, but at double the cost. You can do anything not covered at the GM's discretion."

>>53537023
The whole thing of Savage Worlds with punching out mooks with one decent hit and shaking off most attacks quickly lends itself well to this kind of stuff. You can emulate practically any fight from Last Airbender of the gang versus one really strong opponent with it if you make the guy appropriately strong and just make him switch targets once he hit somebody and knocked them down. That gives 'em time to recover and jump back into action once another player got their shit slapped, which is how most of these fights went in the cartoon.

Jab worked for fucking disney? i mean he got some quality art but you'd think you'd recognise his art from a show or two.

>>53543616
If you look at some his older stuff you can really see it. Especially his Scooby Doo (I know Scooby Doo is Hanna Barbara but Jab's renditions have a very Disney look to them) and Alice in Wonderland stuff. He has gradually moved away from that but you can still see traces of the Disney style there. His Goofy Troop comic is so spot on that I wonder if he worked on that show.

>>53543616
>>53543829
Looking at his stuff, yeah he definitely has a style reminiscent of 90's - early 2000's Disney.

>>53543616
>you'd think you'd recognise his art from a show or two.

Artists generally conform to a house style in a big studio.

>>53542088
Honestly, I don't know. I know though that LoK was highly anticipated thanks to nostalgia for TLA, so naturally lots of people where picking it up and thus creating large exposure. I guess it was just the right amount of people picking up the R34 potential (Owler and KYHU) to drive the trend while the watertribe buns were still hot and lots of people were buying. It's why in some cases you can't find basically nothing in cases of R34 even though the show would be perfect for it while in other cases you get fucking swept away.

>>53543944
Speak for yourself, nigger. Korra, dropping her personality and mindset entirely, is a very attractive person. That's why there's so much porn of her.

>>53543944
Well of course she's attractive, but so are many other cartoon/anime bitches and some of them have next to nothing regarding R34.

Legend of the Elements is probably your best bet. It's an RPG that was explicitly designed for the world of Avatar.

Outside of that, your best bet is probably modifying one of the superhero RPG systems. Champions or Mutants & Masterminds would be my recommendations there.

Not him.
Well, if we actually take a good look at Korra in the canon, she is a headstrong, unreflective, insensitive and spoiled brat completely unaware of how to deal with people in the real world. That has its reasons as she's been raised in what I can only describe captivity surrounded by old farts. Still, she rarely if ever has to deal with the consequences thanks to author's fiat, but everyone sees that she would get fucking blasted out of the park if the author's weren't complete hacks.

It's equally annoying when we see her would-be alpha female behaviour crumble under pressure and she just becomes a bumbling "Plis don't hurt me mister", like when Amon catches her unawares and paralises her.
The only moments she is genuinely likeable is when she's goofing off with Bolin. If you ever met such a girl IRL you would be hard pressed not to start thinking of her as an exhausting person.

>>53536883

Agreed.

>Still, she rarely if ever has to deal with the consequences thanks to author's fiat, but everyone sees that she would get fucking blasted out of the park if the author's weren't complete hacks.
You mean like when she got BTFO'd by Amon at the Statue of Aang? Hell, even Equalist mooks regularly cause problems for her early in season 1.

>It's equally annoying when we see her would-be alpha female behaviour crumble under pressure and she just becomes a bumbling "Plis don't hurt me mister", like when Amon catches her unawares and paralises her.
As you said before, she's used to winning all the time. Amon took Korra, put her in a position where she was completely powerless, and threatened to utterly ruin her. I think her reaction was completely understandable.

Not to mention the fact that she matures and changes far more than Aang did over the coarse of TLA (this isn't a dig against TLA, as it took place over the course of 1 year and LoK takes ~6 years). By the last episode (actual spoiler to follow) she doesn't even beat the BBEG up, she talks her down by empathizing with her, which is the mark of a great Avatar IMO.

I mean by people who aren't technically her enemies. It's the same as sheldon from TBBT, or any other character from sitcoms and cartoons whose defining trait is "difficult to connect", if it wasn't for author fiat this kind of person would never have any friends or circle of acquaintances to speak of because they're so exhausting that their redeeming qualities are overshadowed.

Her character is believable, engaging. She reminds me of many people I know.

Combined with her shortcomings and that fact that she is not, be default, the strongest actor in the universe makes for an engaging story.

I'm not saying her initial concept is bad, it was just handled badly. She, for the most part, doesnt have to change or take responsibility, and essentially has solutions handed to her(thanks to either her Avatar spirit or her friends/allies, or mere coincidental circumstance.)

When I watched the first episode, I expected a hot-headed, impatient young gall who took advantage of her new found power and almost god-like reverence of her. But she blunders and fails(due to her not listening to her trainers and friends but instead saying "fuck it if there's terrorists I'll tear the city apart to find them, then I'll smash them all into a pulp!"), and eventually screwing things up, and worsening the divide between bender and non-bender.

And so, being dragged into having to assist in unfucking the shit she fucked, she learns humility and the concept that no, you cant just beat up bad guys and everything will be okay. Essentially, she learns to balance her lust for action with the wisdom to see when to launch into action(sort of how Aang had to learn to be more action orientated and realize that sometimes he did have to strike).

But instead we got a bumbling buffoon who, after the first few times going into a situation guns-blazing(metaphorically speaking) and fucking up, she doesnt learn. She keeps bumbling into situations without thinking about it, but the story, the world, and general common sense bends the space-time continuum to make sure she succeeds. What was her brilliant plan to take down Amon? Run into the terrorist's main base and hurl an unsubstantiated claim. And when that doesnt work, she fucks up an entire city block trying to bring him down.

How about that time she had to destroy the evil Avatar giant(pfffft wtf were they thinking)? SHe was shit out of ideas and gave up, until all the other avatar spirits came and possessed her because she was too incompetent. Then she became the Blue Man Group's ultimate final form.

I understand and agree with this, but the problem is she never overcomes her shortcomings.

She doesnt change.

Hell, I'd be happy with her succumbing to her shortcomings, even.

But nah, she's totally static throughout.

As much as I like yuri, it was obviously shoehorned in suddenly as a cry for attention on behalf of the series.

>>53545808
>>53546003
She's a completely different person by the end of the show. Like >>53544761 said, she changes a lot over the course of the series.

I feel like people are forgetting that heroes in their early stages are rarely likeable people or have few redeeming traits. I found Aang so irritating when I tried watching season 1 of TLA as a kid that I didn't give the show another shot until two years ago. And people frequently bring up how whiny and obnoxious Luke is in A New Hope. I'm not saying that characters HAVE to be annoying at the start, but they do need personal problems to overcome, and it isn't really fair to criticize a character based solely on their first outing.

>>53546063
As do I, but I will admit that it seemed to come out of left field. It was, however, sort of hinted at later in the series.

But that opens another can of "squandered potential" worms, Asami. She suffers something far worse than Korra: She is not only afflicted by her kind of shortcomings, but has less going for her because all of her characteristics are less developed, more flat.

There's a reason why people forget she exists sometimes.

And that's awful, because she couldve been a fascinating character, what with her father and yada yada.

>>53546108
I first started noticing it at the end of season 3, when Asami was helping Korra with her wheelchair. At the time, I didn't think it was yuri, but the thought of it becoming that crossed my mind. When season 4 rolled around, there was enough build-up (with Korra only writing to Asami, for example) that I bought it when the finale came up. The build-up was pretty subtle, but it was there.

>>53546145
Completely agree. Asami was one of my favorite characters, I found the idea of a badass inventor who fights with technology alongside the benders was extremely appealing. She was also one of the more mature characters in the series, and has an infinitely more interesting back-story than Mako or Bolin. She definitely deserved more screentime.

>>53546234
as soon as they pulled it from the air towards the end of season 3 to become a net exclusive, the direction changed, and bisexual Korrasami was born. it was subtle at first, like you said, but the hints were clever and for those who understood the dialogue they used, just within reach.

although I personally rooted for Kuvira, it was a satisfying conclusion to the series. can't wait for the comic. :D

>>53545808
>Avatar spirit or her friends/allies
Which is part and parcel of the entire Avatar series.

And honestly makes the series all the more enjoyable.

The Avatars strength, and therefore how they deal with problems, doesn't come from their power as an individual. It comes from all the Avatars before them, plus the relationships they build with their allies and friends.

That's the whole point, and part of the reason why both series start out by surrounding each Avatar with people who support them.

The Avatar doesn't exist in a vacuum, something I feel was captured and expressed very well.


Anyways, we're starting to venture into /co/ and /tv/ turf, so lets get back to something a bit more /tg/.

How would you mechanically include themes of friendship/allies into an Avatar ttrpg?

>>53546307

>How would you mechanically include themes of friendship/allies into an Avatar ttrpg?
Ideally, the GM should ensure that the PCs balance off each other well and that their enemies are in a good position to take advantage of their weaknesses (and vice versa).

Someday I'm going to watch this just so I can understand it for myself. I've seen thw first season and thought it was kinda shit, but i hear it gets bettwr so ill watch it someday. Someday, but probably not today.

LoK actually did a pretty good job at this. The whole show is basically a commentary on Capitalism and Republics verses other governments and economic systems. The United Republic is a Capitalist Republic. The Equalists were communists. The Red Lotus in were Anarchists. The Earth Empire was fascist. I think season 2 was trying to comment on theocracy or something, but it was a fairly muddled season.

Despite this, the show rarely portrayed these conflicting systems in a one-dimensional light. The Equalists want to impose sameness on everyone, but to their credit, benders were oppressing non-benders, and had done so for thousands of years. The Red Lotus collapsed the Earth Kingdom's government, but to their credit, the Earth Queen was a despicable person and a horrible leader. Kuvira was forcing people to join her empire and was building super-weapons, but the Earth Kingdom was completely in shambles, and a strong leader was needed to whip it back into shape. As Toph says in Season 4, the show is all about examining extremes and finding the truth in between them.

I think that whereas TLA excelled at character, LoK's strength was in examining the bigger picture of the world.

>>53548303
She's a non-bender who doesn't hold her mother's death against benders even though one of them killed her mother. In contrast, her father did become bigoted against benders. This led to dramatic tension and made her more interesting.

Body control.

I hadn't considered the politics before, and it makes perfect sense given the time and place of the series, since the setting was undergoing huge social and industrial revolution.

the first 2/3rds of S1 were still perfect and better than anything that followed, but this lets me appreciate things more.

Honestly if this is what they had gone with, making the seasons about questions of government rather than the spirit world and ancient glowing kites and shit, that would have been 100 times better

It also would have given Korra a unique challenge as an Avatar, one different from all those before her.

Eh, I'm fine with what we got.

Though it's obvious the writers definitely wanted to.

TLA was aimed at pretty much the same audience and was still pretty damn good.

Good Lord, Korra is just instant boner material. How has someone not weaponized what she does to people's dicks and used it to take over the world yet?

It sounds like the new Voltron show was pretty popular. Is the Allura re-version any good personality-wise? I usually go for delicious brown but something about the design doesn't do it for me.

Kora's personality is believable, which is what makes her a good character.

I just wish they could have spent more time building up an upon her relationships with other people, rather than just shoving her from one partner to the next.

But that's the nature of time constraints.

What setting would you use for an Avatar game? One of the two canon eras or a different cycle?

I think it might be cool to explore the time after Korra, although I've also had a weird idea for a sci-fi flavoured expansion on the setting.

>>53555108
*3 eras.

The OG Avatar timeline is canon.

>>53555108
>I think it might be cool to explore the time after Korra
You're basically getting into Naruto at that point. The ninja stuff isn't all that different from bending in some respects and it has a weird but cool blend of traditional and more modern styles.

>>53555180

I don't know, I think the themes of rampant urbanisation and a population explosion could create a unique setting, combined with the traditional mysticism of the world.

A big hook I think would be interesting for the post-Korra era? The White Lotus can't find the Avatar. The Earth Nation was always largest, but with the population boom and the breakdown of traditional governance, entire populations just slipped through the cracks to the point the limited seekers the White Lotus had available just straight up couldn't locate them, despite decades of searching.

It'd be a good motivator for action (not having an Avatar around to solve problems), and an interesting central mystery- By the time the game rolled around, the Avatar should be old and aware enough of their powers to act... So why aren't they? Or if they are, then just what the hell are they doing?

>>53555264

(Plus, it lets me title the campaign Avatar: The Lost Earthbender, purely for my own smug satisfaction.)

She's a hot brown /fit/ girl and honestly the porn of her was the only good thing to come out of LoK.

>>53555180
Naruto as it originally stood was super interesting.
You've got these towns that are 1) the special forces recruitment and training base for their home country and 2) entirely set up to support a mercenary fighter economy.
People come to the villages or mail in requests for missions, with a sliding rank scale to indicate how hard the mission will be (D-rank is basically lower than grunt work, basic errands, C was bodyguarding someone from mundane dangers, B and above tended to involve other ninja as hazards).
You've got this promotion process that's really just an excuse to have ninjalympics and jingoistic dick-measuring and anyone can just be promoted at any time.
You've got living nukes, some of whom are well-loved by their communities, some of whom are hated. Most of the nukes have at least a friendly working relationship with their demons, Naruto and Gaara are anomalies.
You've got exploding tags/paper bombs, which are incredibly mundane relative to the setting (a bit of paper with Explosive Runes on it, detonated on a tripwire, timer, or remote activation, with a place to tie it to a thrown object To use it like a grenade and an adhesive back to use like a mine) and pretty much always work.

/co/ had an idea where the next avatar was a sandbender in an isolationist community. He's fuck all powerful, but he's just doing basic punches at 50 because they don't care about the outside world.

>>53555314

My thought? Once they leave the confines of their world, they discover the fifth element- Void. A strange and unsettling element, inimical to life, and yet there are riches lost within the Void worth searching for.

Initial Void exploration turned into permanent research and mining stations, and then eventually colonies, with generations of people born and living in the void.

Talk of a true nation of the Void had been talked about for some time, but those born to the Void were mistrusted. Void Spirits were dangerous and the Void itself sometimes warped a Benders bending, creating unsettling and dangerous effects that those born to the Void were more susceptible to.

All that changed when the Avatar cycle shifted, the first Voidborn avatar showing a natural ability to manipulate the Void, the start of an entirely new tradition, faced with a world uncertain whether they're a saviour or abomination.

To keep 'void' from being super abstract, its combination with each element would basically create an 'empty' form of that element. Fire and Void creates raw heat and radiation, Earth and Void creates mass and force without physical form, Water and Void is the formless pull of gravity, Air and Void is inertialess motion or the rejection of forces.

Or something like that. I wrote up some notes on it ages ago, figuring out how to make each voidbending blend distinctly useful, but I forget now exactly what they were.

>>53555407
>they don't care about the outside world.

BUT EVERYTING CHENGE
WHEN DE FIYA NASHUN CAME

>>53555430
>adding void
Oh shit, we l5r now.
Then everything changed when the Phoenix attacked.

>>53555324

My vague idea for the 'truth' was that the Avatar was born to a forgotten urban community, perhaps even the spirit-wooded sections of Republic City itself.

The world of high and mighty people didn't care about them. They got by, amidst all the progress gripping the world, and yet apart from it, not really benefiting from it and suffering whenever outside forces threatened their stability. The Avatar grew up amongst this, and decided that if the world didn't care about the people, he didn't care about the world, acting on a small scale, moving amongst the lowest parts of society. Rumours might exist of them being around, but the traditions and structures wouldn't have anything like reliable contact with them, preserving both the mystery and the reason why the PC's in the campaign would be important.

>>53555430
They already have spirit bending, which you could argue as being the fifth element.(or love is, if you're into that).

Void bending sounds like they bending the fabric of space time which would be a cool way to explain anti-gravity and FTL.

But at a point you'd just have 40K: Wuxia Edition.

>>53555480

>40K: Wuxia Edition.

Y'know, I'm pretty okay with that

>>53555430
>Yfw Vaatu was the spirit of the void
>Yfw Vaatu becomes necessary to explore the void
>Yfw a new generation of void benders are trained by the dark Avatar

>>53555486
Sure, while we're at it lets toss in some artificially induced bending that requires exposure to some element from the spirit realm, and let's make it so if you spirit bend hard enough you can locally change the laws of physics.

Tengen Toppa Giant Avatar State anyone?

>>53555430
>mixing avatar with science
This is a mistake.
This is the path to "lol I firebend so I have power over motion"

>>53555582

Might be a bit of a stretch, but could be a fun gimmick for upping the stakes of an endgame battle.

Maybe combine it with >>53555498 for the climax. The Dark Avatar really was trying to make voidbending a legit thing and help, but Vaatu is a dick and goes all super mode, forcing the PC's use the mcguffin mineral to combat them.

>>53555474
This works for a game. The avatar should never be a Pc anyway, so you can have the reveal of "this npc you've seen once or twice is basically Kung fu action Jesus"

>>53555598
Implying this isn't the direction the series was already going

They had lightning benders powering dynamos for fuck sakes

Literally generating clean limitless energy with interpretation dance

Sato Industries was producing super weapons in secret

>>53555636
>Literally generating clean limitless energy with interpretation dance
That's the most hippy thing I've ever heard

>>53555636
That's why in my game there'd be a quasi cult of firebenders trying to Make Lightning Sacred Again

>>53555474
I do think it's interesting I'm just wondering about the fact that there would still be a group dedicated solely to finding the next Avatar. They would literally be scouring the globe to find whomever it was with the benefits of newer technology and whatever potentially bullshit spirit techniques might also be involved.

That doesn't necessarily mean it's easy, but I think it would take more than just a isolated community to keep them in the dark for decades.

As time goes on, do people decide to forget about them since they can't be found, or does support for the search grow and grow as people decide they need the Avatar to answer the problems they're currently facing or governments try to tip the scale in their favor by being the one to bring back the Avatar?

You've developed this a lot more than the little bit of thought I've given it, though, so don't let me discourage you. It sounds
fun .

>>53555598

While I'm using scientific language to describe it, that's more convenience than anything else, the central relationship I'm aiming for is metaphorical. To take the essence of each element without its physical form. Of course, this is more difficult with water and air, still figuring it out.

>>53555625
This. The avatar really should be low key, more of a force of nature considering how Deus Ex Machina they are

The setting should be be, a world with seeming no Avatar - but there actually is an avatar, they just went low key to work behind the scenes so people would learn to solve their own damn problems.

Also, remember the Avatar is an agent for balance between the mortal and spirit realm.

This doesn't mean they have to be good. Only wise.

It could reach the point that urbanization becomes detrimental to the spirit realm and suddenly the Avatar is this natural disaster that randomly shows up and flattens cities because they're fucking with the earth chi or producing supernatural pollution

>>53555694
>It could reach the point that urbanization becomes detrimental to the spirit realm and suddenly the Avatar is this natural disaster that randomly shows up and flattens cities because they're fucking with the earth chi or producing supernatural pollution
And now I'm picturing the Avatar as an evil Captain Planet. Thanks...

>>53555676

While that might happen later, I'm sorta weighing on the side of traditionalism being slow to adapt.

The White Lotus was a small and proud organisation, only realising how utterly lost they were too late. The governments they went to for help had no idea as to their true populations, their census records hopelessly out of date, especially with the aforementioned lost populations, people of no nation who fell between the cracks.

They'd eventually get their shit together, but by the time they did you'd have the situation in >>53555625, an Avatar who came into their own and doesn't want to be found. At least not yet.

>>53555636
This is one of the dumbest things about the Korra setting. It's literally
>Lel kids loved 1%ultradonutsteeledheog Lightningbending so EVERYONE gets it now

For fuck's sake. Lightnng wasn't rare for lack of trying or knowledge, it was rare for lack of skill. Because it fucking kills people if they screw up. If you fuck up while learning water bending, all you get is a little wet. Even if you fuck up with fire, most people just get burned and the fire disspates when their concentration breaks. At worst they set something on fire. But lightning? You get a fucking thunderbolt to the heart right then and there. It's so bloody dangerous that the original series hat exactly three characters capable of it: The Firelord, the former Firleord to be and an insane prodigy. Iroh didn't even want to teach Zuko because he knew he'd fuck up and get himself killed.

>>53555694
I imagine the avatar would try to teach people about cleaner energy before they decided that cities have got to go. I've always hated how in fiction spirits and humans ALWAYS end up at odds with each other though.

>>53555694
In such a setting, the kindly old man who sells cabbages and helps little kids is also the glowing burning tornado hurling molten lava rocks that manifested in the middle of downtown because, nice person or not, balance, and this city has to be removed NOW. Fuckers had plenty of warnings, negotiating was attempted, they resisted cause muh Avatar muh arbiter of peace muh captain planet.

Never forget that nature and the spirit world are savage, and an avatar can as much be Manchester Black as Superman

>>53555790
Point of order, jobs during the industrial revolution were crazy dangerous, and all bending was undergoing modernization and homogenousation.

It's just that Korra is a kids show and glosses shit over. It's entirely in character with the industrial revolution that Mako, a 15 year old, is working a highly strenuous and highly lethal factory job that could result in his instant death.

I do agree the vast majority of power should be coming from firebenders torching coal or generating steam with waterbenders. But it's not impossible, you just have to address how insane and dysotopic it is

>>53555754
I can smell what you're cooking. I just think that the Avatar would have to be really, really careful to the point of not using their powers at all or only ever one power in an area and move around a fair bit or it would eventually get out cause they *are* that world's version of Jesus.

>>53555872
But how did so many people learn it in the first place? Imagine the lethality rate of people just learning how to create lightning. And does the series honestly want to tell me that Mako is a vastly better Firebender than Zuko, who stood his ground against an Admiral and his psychotic prodigy sister?

>>53555900
>JesusOverwhelmedByTheLepers.webm

>>53555935

It might also be improvement in training techniques, since it's no longer a military secret of a highly competitive society.

>>53555935
>Mako versus Zuko
>"When you get to hell, tell 'em MAKO sent you!"

>>53555959
This, remember in s1 Tenzin bitching about pro bending being different was significant

>take lightning benders
>Strip them
>Give them rubber boots and rubber protection vests
>NO METAL ON THE FACTORY FLOOR
>Hot, dangerous, exhausting and boring work that requires absolute concentration

Welcome to the Industrial Revolution

With the Urban Avatar idea, it'd be neat if their 'masters', instead of being chosen by the White Lotus, were just a few old dudes and ladies who'd had more 'industrial' bending jobs.

An old lightningbender doing it so long it was second nature, an Earthbender who worked in construction and with concrete, a Waterbending plumber and fluid technician, an Airbending courier used to dancing across rooftops to carry messages.

Instead of the more traditional styles, their Bending is powerful and unconventional, rooted in the current era rather than the past, putting an even greater gulf between them and the powers that be.

>>53555959
But the problem with Lightning isn't training, or Iroh, Azula and Ozai wouldn't have learned it. You don't teach your heirs a highly dangerous technique that could easily kill them if the training is dubious.
It's just that you need to be insanely skilled in the first place to pull it off. Creating Lightning is inherently difficult and dangerous, it's like that exhaust boost thing Azula does sometimes, only that it can kill you if your concentration lapses. You need an incredible grasp on regular firebending before you even get to think about zapping fuckers. Making them abundant is like saying "Sure, being able to punch through three feet of solid bricks or balancing your entire weight on a metal tip in your throat isn't all that hard."

>>53536883
Don't pick system for the setting, pick it for what you actually plan on doing in the setting.

Are you going to play a bunch of normal people or is it going to be 100% benderfags?

>>53555935
What if the secret of channeling lightning safely and easily was just to think happy thoughts?

None of the previous ones ever figured that out because they were all power-mad, insane, overcome by grief, or emo?

Some dude named Bobu Ro-su worked it out one day, and started teaching everyone the true way.

>>53556092

At this point you just seem to be stuck on 'It worked this way so it always has to work this way'

Clearly, as evidenced by the series, something changed that made lightning bending more ubiquitous. What it was we can only guess at and try to extrapolate, but it happened.

>>53556111
Actually, this turned out to be the case for fire bending if you watch the last season of ATLA. Zuko learns to firebend direct from a dragon and it turns out the fire nation had been doing it wrong for centuries which is why it was so dangerous

>>53556166
I dunno man, that works both ways cause that anon is just going by what was in the original series. Yes, there was a change, but it that doesn't mean it was carefully considered and reasoned by the creators.

George Lucas made Star Wars but still had a lot of stupid ideas and made some goofy changes to it his second time around.

Friendly reminder fire bending is ignition using the internal fire/ki of the user. Those lightning benders are literally shooting their life force into the generator

>>53556109

Avatar kinda suffers from the same problem as Star Wars. Either you have nobody be the awesome thing most people will want to be (Jedi/Benders), or you accept that you kinda have to warp the setting, so that every PC tier person is just so damn good at what they do they can keep up.

Then again, badasses like that aren't at all unprecedented in either universe.

>>53556217
Honestly, this. I'm just repeating what the series taught us and what Iroh directly stated. They didn't tell us any reason as to why Lightning Bending suddenly shouldn't be so damn dangerous anymore.

>>53556293

Well, >>53556186 might have something to do with it

>>53556293
>>53556092
What makes you think its not as dangerous?
Or what makes you think they are doing full 1:1 lightning bending?

Then again, ATLA is focused on full combat bending. Where if you start lightning bend, and get hit doing it, there is a good chance you fry yourself.

>>53556512
True, they may be bending comparitive less power. Less lightning and more... Static shock bending.

I liked Wan as a character, because he actually learned from his experiences, dealt with the consequences of his actions and was truly striving to be a good person (unlike another Avatar we could mention), but god damn he got lumped in a bad world.

>Korra has been close to the only game in town for the last several years, so it's good by default

>>53555694
Oh god it works too perfectly.
The Earthbending avatar went to ground. Or perhaps underground. He's into grassroots change. He's down to earth.

>>53552551

Which was obnoxious because everything from the setting to the age of the MC suggested it was going to target an older audience (i.e. the fans of the original series, close to a decade later) and the first few episodes even made it seem like this was going to happen.

>>53556922
Your puns are terrable.

>>53556012
And he was right. Probending ruined the martial arts aesthetic by turning even the normal bending into punches and kicks.

>>53556292
Sure, if your games mainly revolve around punching people and monsters in the dick.

If you are mainly concerned with fighting, you're usually better off just playing some kind of competitive boardgame where everyone is on the same page, rather than subject the people in your group who want to fight to a bunch of role-playing faggots, and the people who want to play characters that aren't some edgelords version of 80s morning cartoons to a bunch of murderhobos.

Roleplaying is a lot of time and effort compared so so many other group activities, and it baffles me that DMs mix people with different wants and needs in the same group.

We were supposed to stop doing that when we grew up and didn't have to include all our friends from school in our hobbies any more.

>>53556286
Yeah but since "fire comes from the breath, not the muscles", the respiratory cycle replenishes it

>>53554007
That argument is like saying getting kicked in the balls by a girl is great because it's the closest anyone with tits has gotten to them in years.

>>53552551
Personally I always felt it was the very thing that was holding Avatar back, both original and especially the sequel. I was watching it with my godson. Original when he was 8-11 and then Korra when he was 15-17.

And you know there is a wasted potential when a 10 year old tells you "This could be so much better if it was made with PG-13!". Then came LoK and he was basically "Wait, this shit is running entirely on nostalgia to original, and they for sure must've been aware everyone grow up... so why the series is still 8-12?".

A LOT of themes were simplified, underdeveloped or not developed at all, to make it more edible for pre-teens, but in the same time they were still putting in themes that by no means fit pre-teens into it. So either you outright retool your series to run fully on nostalgia and thus assumption your potential audience is 15-20, making it much more complex and developed, or you don't shovel stuff that just doesn't fit a show made for 5th graders. This made LoK to make a really weird straddle position and lack of own, well-defined decision what kind of show it wants to be. And as far as I'm concerned, 7 out of 10 issues that made LoK and it's characters so insufferable with each season was this lack of clear decision who the show wants to target.

But then again what do I know, I'm a Sinologist in late 30s watching Saturday morning cartoons under the pretense of "Let's see how they will fuck up Not!China".

Not him, but here's a deal - Korra is only relatable as a character if you are 18-25, student at best, NEET most likely and your entire life you've been allowed to do anything you wanted, with someone else taking the blame and consequences (most likely your parents).
No wonder she fit like a glove right to the peak of hipster subculture being the coolest thing around.

>>53557021

Fighting as part of narrative is an important storytelling element, especially in martial arts stories like Avatar. It's not about either individual, it's about the unique combination of both, of using that kind of physical and ideological conflict, a clash of fists and wills, as a primary driving force for the story and the keystone of conflict resolution.

>>53557118
Korra being a shit made perfect sense in s1 because she was a teenager and was told she was special her whole life

Her not becoming less of a shit over time is the problem. But then again, told she was special her whole life. Maybe it's some Kojima deep comment on parenting. More likely they were aiming at a YA demo and Kora is literally a protagonist from a YA novel

>>53557199
Well, the entire series is YA novel: The Not-Shonen, so go figure.

But it's really sad how the entire fuck-huge potential Avatar had as a setting went all in the whistle, first with absolutely abysmal movie adaptation, then with progressively worse and worse sequel series and now literally living on Aang-centric nostalgia in form of subpar comics.

>Could have had progressive time jumps that show how the world is slowly changing, with each Avatar dealing with new issues, with their personality reflecting the changing ways
>instead the world, which has had technological stagnation for around 9800 years, jumps from early renaissance to the 20s in less than 80 years

>>53557466

Eh, I didn't mind that so much, and I understand why they did it. They wanted to change up the status quo in a big way while also having some old characters still around for nostalgia purposes.

>>53557466
Nah, that's not even a problem for me. The problem is - the franchise is dead, because people behind it first created the biggest thing since sliced bread and then squandered it on sub-par sequel that started from the high C, but then only went downhill from there. The very same thing that made TLA good was behind most of issues LoK had.

>>53557514

Eh, I'd say it went from C to a D but then picked up in the last two series.

>>53557491
I wouldn't have minded a leap, but they could have at least restricted it to late renaissance rather than the 20s.
It's an absolutely ridiculous leap, especially given that Benders would have negated the need for a lot of the stepping stones of the Industrial Revolution

>>53557466
>jumps from early renaissance to the 20s in less than 80 years
Fire Nation already had an Industrial Revolution going on, and look at how radically the world changed between the 1840s and the 1920s.

>>53557554

> Benders would have negated the need for a lot of the stepping stones of the Industrial Revolution

But this is why the leap kinda made sense to me?

>>53557596
The problem there is that they weren't doing to the job mechanically.
We progress by understanding earlier techniques and then building off them, but the Avatar world wouldn't have been able to analyze the ways technology worked and improve on them, since the intricate parts that needed to be grasped were literally done by magic. They would have hit a point where throwing more Benders at the problem just wouldn't cut it.

>>53554058
>since 2012

>>53557673
Counterargument

A fucking spirit did it

I am still disappointed Amon wasn't actually a spirit inhabiting a body come to make mortals pay/fuck with them

It would've given Korra a legit reason to oppose him which she only tangentially did - she was a bender, and thus his enemy, and more importantly he was going to destabilize the world and cause strife which would in turn affect the spirit realm

The Avatar exists to promote peace and harmony, not because it's moral, but because the fucking warp is real and scary. At least in ATLA before the spirit realm got pussified

>>53557673

That's also, of course, assuming things work the same way there they do here.

They obviously work in similar and analogous ways, but the exact statement you made might just not actually hold true, given the different nature of the reality they occupy.

Really? I didn't like the first season much at all. The Equalists seemed bizarre and incredibly inconsistent which stopped me really getting into the flow of the series. The problems with season 2 is well known, but 3 and 4 were pretty damn great in my eyes.

>>53557560
This.

I never understood the whole "but they've jumped too much". They didn't jumped anything. Quite the contrary - they had very toned down effect of Ind Rev on the setting, since it should be rather called Artisan Revolution in their case, as shitload of things, even if mass-made, are also still "hand" made by benders.

It's honestly the dumbest shit you'll ever watch, but god fucking damn is the animation amazing. I don't think I've ever seen a seasonal anime that was animated to that level of quality. The main character is probably the most metal as fuck smart/crazy bastard in recent years, and when the writing stops talking up its own ass to let cool shit happen it's genuinely enjoyable.

You're misremembering. All lightning requires is a calm mind.

Iroh didn't want to teach Zuko lightning redirection.

What did you guys think about airbenders having flight as their special power? And what would the 2nd one be for air, water, and fire since earth has lava as well as metal

>>53561025
We never see airbenders fly without tools/aids till Korra.

>>53561025
water has bloodbending. Fire has lightning and goddamn jet propulsion. And air has ULTIMATE DEATH VORTEX, which kills pretty much everybody in an arbitrary radius.

>>53560918
Iroh taught Zuko redirection though, thats why zuko knows how to do it. He didn't want to shoot lightning at Zuko to test it out however. He also knew Zuko couldn't learn to lightningbend because of his inner turmoil/anger issues.

>>53561025
