Lonk Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 I could see Korra trying to convice Katara to teach her bloodbending when Amon attacks her in a much more personal method (Like he hasn't done so already. Chapter 4, he was her nightmare fuel). Then, Katara would have that look of quiet fear that was hidden away long ago and tries convince Korra that Bloodbending is not the way to win anything. However, Korra would feel that it is the only way, given Amon's amazing ability against standard forms of bending. I feel that it is going to be a high chance that Korra might use Bloodbending against Amon (Amon is already nightmare fuel to her, Korra is pretty adamant with her choices, and despite Firebending being more or less her default, she is a Waterbender first. Also, Amon moves much too quickly for most forms of bending to even touch him. Bloodbending would always hit him no matter how quickly he is able to dodge). It would make a good re-introduction to the insanely awesome yet insane art of Bloodbending for LoK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 True, but someone would have to introduce the concept to her first I think. Bloodbending was unheard of to Katara before she learned it, wasn't it? I wouldn't expect someone like Korra to know such a concept either. And no new episode this week? That's a bummer.

Shradow Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 I wouldn't really say Korra's a Waterbender first, even if she is a water tribe girl. Outside of her pro bending matches she Firebends most of time. Aside from that, yeah, I can see her trying to learn Bloodending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catterjune Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 If the Avatar card game is canon (pro-tip, it's not) then there's plenty to suggest water benders can bend bodily fluids without the need for a full moon: http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20101011003146/avatar/images/7/77/Kinto_-_churning_stomachs.jpg In any case, it's a children's show first and foremost so I doubt we'd ever see anything supremely violent. I assume you need a full moon in order to bend blood and make a person do what you want. However, I doubt you need a full moon to rip the blood out of people's skin or something, which they wouldn't show on Nickelodeon. I'd rather see Korra learn Metalbending and Lightningbending (perhaps Lightning Redirection) before seeing her bloodbend. Also the Avatar State, strictly because I wanna hear a jazzy 1920's remix of the Avatar State theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~/Coolio Prime\~ Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 I still think that if anybody is going to bloodbend it's going to be Tarlok. He's manipulative and underhanded, so it'd be pretty fitting, and he's an "evil" waterbender to top it all off for a technique that gives off sinister vibes. He might arrange to meet the avatar under the full moon or something to that extent.

[/quote] I have the first volume. The second one isn't out yet. It's pretty neat, and brought up something that I had completely not considered before-- the Fire Nation had colonies within the Earth Kingdom since near the beginning of the war. That's 100 years of living in an area. Naturally, many of the Fire Nation people there were kind of reluctant to be replanted back within the Fire Nation. Which is, of course, the basis of how Republic City is founded. It also brought up Toph opening up a metalbending school. As for the whole bloodbending/Korra thing, I could see Tarloc mentioning the technique to her accidentally-but-totally-on-purpose. I agree, he's a shady dude. If he's not a bloodbender, he certainly doesn't have Korra or RC's best interests at heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the firebenders play the villain role so if it was the prequel to TLOK then the firebenders might be the same firebender who kills Amon's parents.

[quote name='Wandering Artist - Issun' timestamp='1338566702' post='5950354'] That sounds stupid. I don't buy it for a second. [/quote] He is. After the war he agrees to remove the fire nation colonies from the earth kingdom since it acts as a constant reminder of what had happened. Over time though he meets people that had been in the colonies since the war first began and he sees those people as having set roots in those places and no longer wants to force them out. All the while he slowly losses it to the pressure of being fire lord and at the end of the first issue of the comic is shown talking to his farther. That is all I know since I haven't read the second issue yet. But seriously, you should just go out and pick them up since they are good reads and all that good stuff about supporting things you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grunt Issun Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Now that you explain it a bit more, it's more believable.

Vairocana Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 Evil is hardly the right word. He and Aang remain friends throughout. You just have to remember that his loyalty and responsibility are to the people of the Fire Nation first, his friendship to Aang second. They have differing views on an issue, and even Aang could appreciate where Zuko was coming from, after Zuko explained himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shradow Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 Darn it, FD, you beat me to it. But yeah, bloodbending without a full moon. Totally backs up how powerful some of us have said it could be before now that we know it can be done without that limiation. Also, I found this to be very humorous: [img]http://images5.fanpop.com/image/photos/30700000/best-Antagonist-ever-AMON-avatar-the-legend-of-korra-30752065-472-470.jpg[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vairocana Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 COOLIO YOU WIZARD. Fire/Earthbending is a better match to her personality, both styles are much more aggresive and direct than Waterbending, probably another reason she prefers them. (note how she didn't use water at all against Tarloc) Meelo is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
