Lonk Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 [quote name='Wandering Artist - Issun' timestamp='1337475410' post='5942940'] Yup. He was the first besides Toph, and now Chief Bei Fong was the second. He used it in the final episode, sense Ozai trying to hit him from behind, then trapped his arms in earth, I believe. [/quote] Aang also used it when Sokka tried to sneak attack him. Also, Bei Fong going Batman just to save her Metalbending Force is just amazing. Just name a character [i]who fights in the show[/i] that isn't a badass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Bolin's great, but I wouldn't really call him a badass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~/Coolio Prime\~ Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 I didn't like Toph very much, but Bei Fon and Tenzin might be my favorites. And if you guys are deadset on assigning superheroes to characters, Spiderman has to be a externally happy character with internal conflict from living two lives. Korra is the closest thing to Spiderman on the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] While he isn't badass he has had badass moments. Like when he won his 1 vs 1 in the probending game. But yea, he's this series Sokka, so a lot more laughs then badass moments.

Phantom Roxas Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Bolin does a better job at the externally happy personality, but he doesn't have to handle living a dual life. I'll support the theory that all of the family members were killed by the same guy, if only because this is the third time we've had "death by Firebender" as a backstory. It could also bring things full circle with the original series if the firebender ends up being the main villain after Amon, possibly in a way of showing that the firebenders have a chance of being what they were like during Sozen's reign. Since Zuko is actually still alive, having the firebender kill Zuko would serve as him fulfilling that promise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grunt Issun Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 If Bolin is this series' Sokka, there will inevitably be a time when he has a badass moment in combat. After all, that was the basis behind Sokka. He was the comic relief character who occasionally turned into a badass. Only thing missing is that Bolin doesn't seem to be a genius.

Ｍｒ．Ｒｏｂｏｔ Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Kinda glad the pro-bending arc is over though the story seem to be running faster than ever now. Hope it would end with a cliffhanger that would lead Korra to learn the spiritual side of the Avatar via waterbending since the next chapter is water. Anyway, is it me or do the bender seem weaker compare to those in Roku/Aang's era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Actually, I was kinda surprised that Tenzin and Bei Fong got taken down that easily by those not!mechas. Idk, they didn't seem [i]that[/i] strong to me, but hey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Constant circular movements and dodging his opponents. Seems... rather interesting. Not to say he is an airbender, but he easily could have studied from one. Like how Iroh invented lightning re-direction from studying waterbenders. Speaking of airbenders, I wonder if we get to see Tenzin's kids earn their tattoos soon.

I think his children will also be able to become Airbending masters by the end of the series. After all, Jinora, Ikki and Meelo are very adept at Airbending for their ages. Also, the reason the benders seem weaker than the non-benders is because the non-benders have highly developed a sense of genre-savviness. Examples include the Platinum Mechas which generate electricity to stop Metalbenders (not even the best of Metalbenders are able to bend pure Platinum. It is very pricy though. Plus, Metal conducts Electricity well) and the equalists keeping most of their plans on low-profile unless if it is a trap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Yeah, they're not weaker, they only seem weaker by comparison. Also, let's agree that Lin is better than Superman, Batman, Spiderman, and the Incredible Hulk put together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonk Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 I guess this is why we are actually afraid of the Equalists in the series, because they are Genre-Savvy compared to most other villains. Also, does Amon's debending act like a complete mindscrew to his victim? I was kind of disappointed on how anti-climatic his debending ability was.I guess this is why we are actually afraid of the Equalists in the series, because they are Genre-Savvy compared to most other villains.

[/quote] Protoss Zealot. And they weren't retractable blades, she metal bent her gauntlets into points. Which is completely badass. I'm always really impressed at how logical this show is about its rules. Things like having a pure metal so metal benders can't bend it, conducting electricity, etc. Even in the first series, they brought up waterbending liquids inside of plants or your own sweat, and bloodbending (the next logical step, of course, is to simply pull out the blood of your enemies to impale more of your enemies, but unfortunately this is a kid's show).

Shradow Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 Bloodbending's the most OP of them all. If Katara didn't have morals she could've just crushed the internal organs of anyone, even Aang or Firelord Ozai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~/Coolio Prime\~ Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 I think the show covered that pretty well - you can only manage to control blood while there's a full moon so transforming the liquid itself or having it crush someone like that is probably impossible.

Shradow Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 Granted you'd need a full moon, but if a bloodbender knew enough about the human body that person could easily manipulate the fluids (not just blood) to easily crush someone's insides.
