Seriously why buy it for that? You could had just waited, I'm sure someone would had posted it on youtube.

Loyal Subject Tue Feb 28, 2012 9:17 pm

well i bought it for the episodes too lol. im just saying i usually buy DVDs for the special features because usually the DVDs have awesome special features.

Two more months until we find out more about this comic series! You might not like it that much, but I'm actually liking it. The story is pretty good and so is the art, hopefully The Duke makes an appearance somewhere.

Either that or in Korra, I can live with either. Or both.

Loyal Subject Fri Mar 02, 2012 10:48 pm

^ I said I have issues with it so far. I'm not going to fully judge it and dread the next one until the entire Promise is out ;)

Lee Fri Mar 02, 2012 10:52 pm

You could had fooled me with that lengthy post you made.

Loyal Subject Fri Mar 02, 2012 10:54 pm

just cause im criticizing it doesnt mean im not eagerly awaiting the next bit :p im still hoping for at least some mention of Zuko's mom. and im waiting for a potential Iroh to appear.

Lee Fri Mar 02, 2012 10:57 pm

Screw Iroh, we need The Duke first!

Loyal Subject Fri Mar 02, 2012 11:09 pm

everyone needs Iroh. they just don't know it yet.

Lee Fri Mar 02, 2012 11:19 pm

I don't know if we need Iroh in the comic, unless he has some reason to be in it. Just because would be stupid on account of how short the first one was. What I want to know about Iroh though that was never answered was how he went into the spirit world and what he did there.

Loyal Subject Fri Mar 02, 2012 11:25 pm

me too but im not counting on getting an answer to that question :p

Lee Sat Mar 03, 2012 5:23 pm

I just remembered it when Zhao mentions it during the Siege episodes. Seriously you can't expect people to not want to know more if you mention it so vaguely in the series. That's just stupid if you ask me. Just like Zuko's mother, but that's even stupider.

Loyal Subject Sat Mar 03, 2012 6:31 pm

^ exactly, i completely agree.

i can understand if a show gets canceled and then they have no time to explain it. but they had the entire series to their liking: they could have explained it.

LOST does this as well which was why a good number of fans were pissed when it ended.

Lee Sat Mar 03, 2012 7:17 pm

They don't necessarily have to animate or illustrate it, so long as a few more words giving clarity were given.

Loyal Subject Sat Mar 03, 2012 8:52 pm

right.

i mean, based on what was said, i would imagine Iroh went to the Spirit World to try and get his son back. similar to how Orpheus tried to get Eurydice back from the Underworld.

it'd be really sad if Iroh did the same thing Orpheus did and totally screwed everything up.

Lee Sat Mar 03, 2012 9:05 pm

That's what I thought, minus the trying to get him back part. In season 2 he teaches Zuko about lightning. He explains that he had the time to learn from the water tribe, so I just stuck the two together that he went to the same place where Aang meditated to try to calm his mind.

Loyal Subject Sat Mar 03, 2012 9:19 pm

i mean, i can't think of any other reason why he would go to the Spirit World and it seemed to me as though he went after Lu Ten died.

Lee Sat Mar 03, 2012 9:51 pm

Right, but I think he did it more for himself. So that he could clear his weary mind from the war and everything that clouded it. We don't even know if the spirit world is meant for people who die. So far we only know its where spirits and the Avatars live.

Loyal Subject Sat Mar 03, 2012 10:03 pm

then where do the people who die go? i mean, since the whole show is based on spirituality, i would think they go somewhere....

^ that should be a question someone asks. when comic con comes around, ill find someone to ask since i cant go on the day they'll probably be there.

Lee Sat Mar 03, 2012 11:17 pm

We might learn something about that in Korra because if Amon's duty is to rid the world of bending he would have to somehow involve the Spirit World, like how Zhao did with the coy fish.

Loyal Subject Sat Mar 03, 2012 11:43 pm

unless he's a man of science and scientifically figured out a way to do it. and then fails because he realizes that science isn't the answer. and this would also fit perfectly with the idea that Korra has problems with her spirituality and that's what she needs to defeat Amon.

guys! i think i just figured out the conflict of Korra! :p

Lee Sun Mar 04, 2012 2:26 pm

Wasn't it already explained in the first trailer that she had problems honing in the spirtualness? The sages even said that during her fire bending sparing match.

Loyal Subject Sun Mar 04, 2012 2:44 pm

^ i know. im saying that this could Amon's problem as well, not understanding the spirituality component. or, taking the spirituality component with a scientific lens. which would mean Korra would have to come to this understanding in order to defeat Amon.

Lee Sun Mar 04, 2012 2:52 pm

Screw your bending! I have science!

Loyal Subject Sun Mar 04, 2012 2:55 pm

lol XD exactly. :p
