GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I thought the show made it pretty clear: the lion turtles gave people the ability to Bend (what later became inborn talent) while the animals taught people how to use it.

Lots of Korra hate in those comments. Blah.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I just saw the "Korra retconned bending into being something you are born with rather than something anyone can learn" comment and, um, no. Just look at Sokka and Katara. I know reading the comments is nearly always a bad idea but, really, I thought people following Serena Williams would have more sense.

Yeah, I saw that one too and thought "What show were you watching?" We had Sokka in the main cast plus tons of other mundane martial artists like Suki, Jet, Mai and Ty Lee.

Between this and the rumors swarming around about Dan Schneider, Nickelodeon must have been a pretty horrible place in the 90s.

Ugh.

Also can I say how sick I am of hearing celebrities citing "mental illness" as an excuse for their reprehensible behavior?

Millions of people struggle with mental illness without being scumbag sexual predators.
