I'll watch it anyway. I'm just curious.
still can't tell you since I never noticed a problem in the first place. The voice acting's the same quality as it was for the original series, so I dunno what to tell ya :P

also, I hate the fact that they've already shown trailers for the finale, when the finale isn't even the next episode. :I

That's a little disappointing. -_-

I never watched the original series so I wouldn't be able to compare them.

I love how they're like "oh, so just in case you didn't catch it from his name, we're gonna give him Zuko's voice actor as well :V"

edit: also, I like how Tenzin's air bison is named "Oogie" as a tie-in to the Promise comics.

I kept getting goosebumps throughout the whole episode. Mostly at the end with General ????. Though I got new respect with airbending kids.

Spoiler:
What a bittersweet ending. Though how did manage to a murder-suicide on a CHILDREN's show?

tbh, I feel like korra is marketed a little more towards the older fans which they realized the show got when the original Airbender series became popular

either way, I don't really think it's that much more extreme than all the rest of the killing that goes on in the show :P

Remember... Avatar:TLA Aang was a pacifist and refused to kill. The fire nation took prisoners more than killed. And no one actually died other than that princess from the northern water tribe. And that was more living on as the moon spirit, as she gave her spirit back. Aang went through an existential crisis because he refused to kill the fire lord. It wasn't until the lion turtle showed him how to spirit bend that he over came that. There were casualties of war that were implied but never shown.

LoK was the same... No one actually was killed. Lives destroyed, yes, but force was also non-lethal. People knocked out, bending stolen, but no killing. That was the first scene of direct killing shown in this franchise.

That said, I'm pretty sure this was intended for older teens and adults who grew up with the original series.

That's not true, that mad fire nation soldier died in that episode as well for killing the moon spirit to begin with :-X

1) It was the ocean spirit, not the moon. Aang went into the Avatar state, and connected with the ocean spirit to help it avenge the death of its companion.

2) He was taken by the ocean spirit. We don't know what happened to him after that. That wasn't a direct death like USING A TASER GLOVE TO BLOW UP A BOAT. Just sayin' the implications were totally different.
