Actually, I don't know if anyone's considered this, but its possible that reincarnation is something everyone does naturally. What if, for example, Harmonoc Balance gave airbending those people were formerly airbenders, just like the Avatar was formerly a man who mastered all four elements? It's possible that Raava simply maintains the memories of those past lives, something humans can't do themselves.
Also, the idea of a reincarnating Dark Avatar would be very interesting, I think.
As for who pays for the Avatar's stuff, I don't know. The White Lotus coming out is certainly a new development. And honestly, when you're a reincarnating demigod, doors tend to open for you wherever you go.

Though I wonder if we'll see airbenders from more then the earth kingdom pop up then. |

My opinion on the matter is that there isn't another Dark Avatar because Korra didn't kill Unavaatu, she purified them using that swirly thing she failed with like 16 times, if I remember correctly.

Well, Zhu comes from a very poor background, so unless he has a patron like Tenzin or Asami, he won't really be contributing much to the group except his abilities.

Aang's picture was the best part of the episode. We've only seen this version of him be serious so far, so it was nice to see a bit of the young Aang left in him.

My pet theory is evil Korra is the remnant of Vaatu inside Korra. Raava explained that normally, Harmonic Converngenbce results in them fusing until the loser eventually breaks free in a few thousand years. Korra didn't stick him back in the tree of Time, so I imagine he's floating inside her. It'd also explain that cameo in Venom of the Red Lotus.

That is interesting, might explain why the adorable spirit-puppy reacted aggressively to the creepy Korra. Except the creepy Korra did take her to Toph, which is a good thing. And it also wanted her to get the shit beaten out of her in a fighting ring, which is a bad-in-a-random-way thing. So I'm confused. Puppy Spirit took her to Toph. Not sure what Psychorra was doing exactly... Toph doesn't really explain how she found Korra. I'm glad Katara finally got a proper role, but it still bugs me that the woman who defeated Azula gets barely any mention. She could curb-stomp most of the cast, so I don't know why she sat out the Unalaq invasion. The woman can bloodbend, for crying out loud!  |

That's exactly what I said earlier in the thread, maybe it got lost - but Katara was notable for rebelling against the "women waterbenders are only healers" tradition. And she was always a leader! How the writers decided to keep Katara out of the Water Tribe civil war just boggles my mind. I mean, we even see her passively fixing people in the healing huts while a coup goes on. It's maddening. That's not Katara at all! And as much as I love Katara's nurturing qualities, her Mother Theresa act in TLK bugs the hell out of me because I know she was meant to be the kind of Granny that might bake you cookies but also kicks ass and has steel in her eye. : / I totally saw your post.  I'm just agreeing with you. And yeah, you've described the issue perfectly. |

My char is still standing as being the sandbending former king of Omashu turned fugitive because the Earth Kingdom blows right now. May change as the series progresses.

Soo... if you have a foursome in bed between an Airbender, a Firebender, an Airbender, and a Waterbender, would it be called an 'Avatar Cycle'? Or alternatively, do we use individual euphemisms per culture like 'getting wet'? Getting hot? Getting hard? "Blowjob?" What is doggy style called? Polarbeardog style? Raccoonhare style? Is 69 called the Koi Fish? Is S&M known as "Dai Li games?" Does bloodbending add certain, unspoken benefits in bed? Do people ever get burned during firebender sex? Is it technically incest if the Avatar has sex with their own descendant? Isn't it kind of inevitable after 10,000 years? And finally, does Harmonic Convergence also grant the ability to pass on airbending the old-fashioned way, or are you still technically your parent's child (i.e. earthbender lineage)?

Well we will see how things shake out with the Earth Kingdom politically, but you may not be able to be the King of Omashu, Drakonic. Haha I don't know which page of this thread I mentioned it on, maybe page 8, but I have an NPC King of Omashu already and it's an important plot point. You might be able to be a relative of the Omashu royal family, however. Again, let's see how things end up after this season. There might be no more monarchies in the Earth Kingdom. Hehe and I'm sure there are a lot of interesting euphemisms in the setting. The way I've kind of envisioned it is that three years (or however long) back when the earth queen got rekt, my guy was the king of Omashu and he nope'd out of office when the riots broke out and the kingdom crumbled, so he wouldn't be the king in any way by now, just trying not to be assassinated or whatever. Also I saw that. |

Historically, cars went into mass production in the 1910s whereas the atom bomb came in the 1940s so... yeah, they should figure out the bomb not too far from now, if they're not already doing something similar with that vine.
Also, I keep thinking about how in LoK, you normally don't figure out what the bad guy actually wants until a little over halfway through. Still, I'm glad Kuvira might not just be a standard dictator wannabe. We got enough of that in TLA... though I'm wondering how much of her rhetoric Kuvira believes. Unalaq and Zaheer were true believers, and Amon PROBABLY believed in Equalism.

From the way it looks currently it -definitely- seems like any surviving leaders from the Earth Kingdom would be hiding from Kuvira or in an army against her.
Wonder who wins in sand vs. metal
