I’m generally not a fan of tracing over frames like this, but this is all I saw watching season 4 of Korra. I did this a while ago, but I just didn’t feel like sharing or talking about this particular moment until now.

I also read that Penny Arcade comic this morning and, well, I don’t know…

It’s like these four characters and their stories decided to punch me straight in the face as I woke up. Reminding me of everything I’ve done and felt in the past, everything I cherish and hold close. My ideals, my philosophies, my inner peace. And this undying feeling that I still haven’t and will never be forgiven for what I’ve done in the past and being unable to just shut up and move on with the rest of the world. This feeling of being in a dark place, struggling to be the light I just want to be. Maybe because all I want to do is fight. Fight for what I believe is happiness, for something that just feels right. Fight to show the world something they are too blind to see.

And if I stop fighting, then I’ve given up, and life isn’t worth living when you feel like you’ve done nothing but fail.

I really thought I had moved on, but I’m still finding myself in this rut where I want to do nothing but lash out in anger, but that anger is only going to bring more pain and I know that’s something I don’t need. It’s something no one needs.

I have a lot of conflicting emotions running rampant through my mind right now and I don’t know how to keep them contained.

Sorry for wasting your time with this random trash. There’s some other things I could talk about in this especially on the subject of Leona and Penny Arcade related things, good things that is, but I’ll leave this post with one more thing that has probably kept me on more of a peaceful side. Something I’ve learned among these four characters in particular…

The sun and the moon may be the lights we look up to, but we must not forget the earth upon which we stand.

I still haven’t been able to make myself watch that interview I’ve just read quotes from it. Like I don’t think I can do it they just shit on their characters the whole time!!!! “I hate Kya” like really. REALLY. R E A L L Y honestly fuck Bryke I’m done

[twagner33-blog]

Except his opinions have no relation to the creators.

[jankkarinkatu]

Yeah but they didn’t say the best stuff either, so Idc I hate the whole fucking crew at this point

[twagner33-blog]

Well that's fine. But don't blame the creators for their crew members opinions.

I'm pretty sure anyone with a working brain knows that Grojband is a bad show. I don't think the fanbase for the show is all that large so I doubt you'll get that much hate. (I gave up on TV a long time ago.)

It has it’s own fan made wiki……let that sink in for a moment a group of people actually took the time to make a wiki for this show. And just like the show itself it’s badly written and put together.

[twagner33-blog]

Woah. Gave up on tv? Are you crazy anon? There's a whole bunch of good shows out there. You just have to know where to look.

[deckerstarbellarke-deactivated2]

Asami said Korra’s name 12 times throughout the series, 7 of which were in Book 1.

Mako said Korra’s name 68 times throughout the series in an almost even amount except for Book 2.

React however you wish.

[helbertinelli]

I’m curious out of those 12...

[twagner33-blog]

Except they never said this relationship was planned sense book 1. Asami was almost a bad guy but they changed it because they liked her so much. And the whole general iroh thing was a joke pitch that was never planned to be used.

Lol this is great. I never got the talk fortunately. I guess lol

Don't forget what Ign said about you "What Kevin Conroy is to Batman Josh Keaton is to Spider Man". - IGN

Such high praise can never be forgotten.

[twagner33-blog]

I second that.

[twagner33-blog]

So cute lol

[when-extremes-meet]

am i allowed to say i don’t understand this whole “mmmm whatcha say” business?

[twagner33-blog]

Yeah I don't get it either.

[solvernia]

is there anything you think the legend of korra did right or better than the original series? you raise good points about the shows problems so i just wanted to know

idk i didnt enjoy lok because i couldnt get past korra getting brutalized every time she turned around, the misogyny, the terrible jokes, and contradicting lore…

i only thing better in lok is the animation (if you mute the sound and pretend certain things arent happening)

sorry!!

i guess there were more female characters (but they were all written with a layer of bad tropes)

[coolman229]

LoK had a lot more production values. It had better animation to be sure, but the writing was just horrible.

[twagner33-blog]

Oh well. It is what it is. I've pretty much grown numb to the critical posts about this series. I'm honestly looking forward to the day when people stop talking about it.

[imantikorrasamiokay]

bryke was just catering to fans, when they made korrasami canon.

that’s why they made zutara canon when it was in high demand and that’s why the put a love triangle in book 2 and that’s why they brought tahno back as a main character after book 1. and that’s why...

[twagner33-blog]

They actually never made Zutara canon because Kataang was endgame from the very beginning. Everything else is good though.

[crossroads-of-destiny]

Ok I was just thinking,

How come Aang had to visit a guru and learn about chakras to master the Avatar State? While Korra just had one talk with Aang and went into the Avatar State for the first time in the end of season 1, and then by the beginning of season 2 she could go into it whenever she pleased?

[twagner33-blog]

Well, one reason I could think of is that Korra excepted her role. But as we saw in the following books her self worth being connected to the Avatar made it hard for her to become spiritual. But when the second books ending happened she realized that Korra and Ravaa are seperate. And so she was no longer blocked. It's kinda inconsistent because to bend energy you need to have an unbendable spirit and we know she doesn't get that until the end. *shrugs*

Well, I think there is an annoying Doylistic reason why the “purging” was revealed and then never addressed again, and it was purely to service Bolin’s character development. The whole point of Bolin’s arc was for him to...

[memes-cure-my-depression]

AN AVATAR WITH NO ARMS. YOUR ARGUMENT IS INVALID.

[smaug-official]

she coULD HAVE ARMS MADE OF ANYTHING

THE POSSIBILITIES 

ARMS OF AIR, LIGHTNING, METAL, STONES, FIRE, WATER, LAVA, ICE AND SNOW, VINES, BONES, BLOOD, SAND, FRICKING RAINBOWS 

OR ALL AT ONCE 

[obtiterate-deactivated20160620]

OH SHIT

[wander-in-arda]

…You can clearly see part of her hand behind the poof of her dress.

[angelrinisadork]

…she has arms guys…I just…*sigh*

[twagner33-blog]

I don't see it.

[coolman229]

mephhius replied to your post:Do you think SNK is just another really popular…

I actually agree. Both Naruto and Bleach were decent battle shounen manga once upon a time. Then they kind of overstayed their welcome and turned to shit.

Yeah a lot of...

[twagner33-blog]

Except Dragon Ball lol which Toryama wrote as he went along. But I guess he's a special case.

[coolman229]

Hey man, what's your thoughts on the Snake/Kaz relationship? Are you interested in seeing how their relationship diminishes in mgs5?

I absolutely loved Snake and Kaz’s friendship in Peace Walker. I think that Miller’s new backstory and character is utterly fantastic, and giving him this history with Big Boss is amazing.

However I HATE WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN MGS5.

Okay, first of all I hate that Kaz goes crazy and turns evil. If you ask me the reason their friendship should have deteriorated is that Big Boss starts being evil. The entire Big Boss Era is literally one giant start of darkness to find out how Big Boss went from a quirky soldier to a mass murdering psychopath who wanted to plunge the world into war. But it’s been pretty darn light on Big Boss being bad, until now all of a sudden.

Kaz is very level headed. He was like that in Peace Walker and he was like that in MG2. And if Liquid’s portrayal was accurate in MGS1 then we can say that Miller was always a very levelheaded guy. But then in Phantom Pain he starts doing a whole bunch of really questionable stuff? NOOOOOOO. Big Boss should be doing this, and Kaz should be the one trying to talk him out of it. Until Big Boss reaches the point where he and Kaz can’t walk the same path and Kaz leaves. Preferably to FOXHOUND. Leaving Big Boss with no one who’s at his level to keep him grounded, and it makes his downward spiral even worse.

But that’s a bit too much to ask for. It seems that MGS5 will be the MGS4 of the Big Boss Era.

[twagner33-blog]

Hmmm, yeah you're right about that. What's really interesting is that Kaz is the one who seems to be seething with the need for revenge. It seems like hes ready to do whatever it takes to accomplish his goal. I honestly don't know how the games gonna handle Big Boss getting worse and worse until he goes past the motivation for revenge. The game will probably retcon some things again unfortunatly.
