Chapters 11 & 12: Skeletons in the Closet & End Game

[Ataru]

I finally got around to watching this while spooning with my boyfriend Mac. I liked it but had to switch off my disbelief for the airplanes. I mean... I guess I should have started quirking an eyebrow at the walking mechs but those were really just suits of electric armor, the whole going from blimps to prop planes in like, what, a month is a little hard to believe. Unless they had already invented them long ago and were just keeping them in hiding while waiting for the final attack and pretending that they only had blimps.

Also I kept screaming at the screen any time Amon was getting away on the blimp:

HIGHLY FLAMMABLE! THE GAS IN ZEPPELINS IS HIGHLY FREAKING FLAMMABLE! ONE HIT AND THE WHOLE THING WOULD GO DOWN YOU MORONS THROW FIRE AT IT YOU MORONS!

but Mac kept placating me by telling me it was a magical gas that makes things float without being highly flammable.

I'm hoping Mako dies during the second series. Probably a little too much to hope for, but man I just can't stand him. I'd support Korra x Iroh before Korra x Mako. I'd support Korra x Anyone before Korra x Mako. Mako I hate your guts forever.

Also I'd love for them to get around to explaining that whole blood-bending=no bending thing. I came up with a few theories:

1. Cut off blood to parts of brain that control bending
2. Use blood-clots to permanently block chi-points
3. Permanently numb parts of body so that the necessary movements for bending cannot be completed well enough to bend
4. Switch off the Mediclorians
5. Take out all the mitochondria. Also Amon's real name is Eve and he can make people burst into flames by singing

I'm pretty sure it's #4.

I don't hate Mako, but I'll be honest, I'm kind of hoping for that as well...

Because Katara couldn't heal Korra, I don't really think its 1, 2 or 3. And 4 and 5 are pretty silly, though I'm not sure I get the reference to 5. The only other Eve I know of is the one from Black Cat, and I don't think she could make people burst into flames by singing?

I think the series was needlessly rushed this season. They could have just extended the Amon arc to two seasons and take it all slow and do it right. There really is no reason to cram in two entirely different stories into two very short seasons (as it looks like LoK is going to do).

was the reference I was making with #5. It wasn't a very funny or applicable one.

It's called Helium, i.e. Non-flammable gas.

So like, completely on topic, what would Mataru's ship name be if we used their actual names? Ken? Byle?
Byle 4lyfe~

You dumb piece of sh**. That amount of helium is not capable of lifting that huge monstrosity called an airship.
