This Friday's Korra starts at 8, not 8:30, and is an hour long.
Animation 1: I'm Not Bad, I'm Just Drawn That Way
A thread to discuss television and online animation.
Korra: Well, that more than makes up for more than the rest of the season.
Oooh! I haven't seen Korra yet!
Yeah, that was pretty fucking great. Recontextualizes both series in a really interesting way. I had no idea Steven Yeun would have such a big part!
Huh. I am not sure what I think.
Brilliant insight from the A.V. Club comments:
The whole thing starts when Wan steals fire from the the Lion Turtle. That makes him Prometheus, right?
Wow, that was awesome.
Wow, the art in this is so different than usual in Korra. It's really lovely, and also excellent.
And now I'm at the end, and that was great. It really does explain a lot, and now we know why the spirit issue is so important. I'm guessing that Unalaq is channeling Vaatu, opening the spirit portal on purpose to import tainted spirits and increase the chaos and darkness in the world.
As for Raava, is she dead, or just bonded with the Avatar forever? Because she doesn't seem to have communicated directly with either Aang or Korra, and nobody has ever mentioned her. I'm just wondering, because the whole yin/yang balance thing seems like it would be perpetually out of wack if Vaatu lives and Raava doesn't.

That seems to be the general speculation and it makes sense. What happens if he bonds with Vaatu and becomes a Dark Avatar?
As for Raava, is she dead, or just bonded with the Avatar forever?
The latter. She even says that. I don't know why she never talked to Aang or Korra, but I guess you could say she has, through all her past incarnations.
