Korra Book Two Review

Things Wrong with Korra S2 Finale:

It's the President of Republic City's Fault
    Remember when Korra told this asshole that Unaloc is an evil megalomaniac who used his armed forces to invade and occupy a peaceful country because he wanted to unite them and the president said "not my problem" like that asshole from Spider-Man? I know from watching the first series that your world has the concept of despotism, so why didn't you do anything? You didn't even send a message telling him not to be a cruel asshole.
    Remember when Korra tried to seal the portal? It came down to a matter of seconds and she failed! If that moron president put the world first and his city second, Korra might have had another minute and that would be that! The guy didn't give her shit, even when fucking Tenzin showed up! as far as we know, the guy didn't even give her a loaf of day old bread! What a cock.

No, wait, it's Korra's Fault.
    Why is it that the only world leader that she chooses to rely on is the one trick horse of an asshole President of Republic City? Isn't there a powerful Earth Kingdom or Fire Nation still around? Is this asshole really in charge of the fucking planet? 70 years out of the medieval period and you've already got a single fucking world leader? I call bullshit! Impeach this motherfucker! There should really be some clauses that says it's not treason to stab el presidente in the face if said dipsit leader is a negligent, lethargic skid mark! Did Aang really envision a future of bureaucratic inaction and the suffering of innocence? Where's your avatar now!

It's all Tenzin's Fault
    Right before the final fight with the big bad started, you benched your best guy? Why!? If Tenzin were backing up Korra when she fought Unaloc, shit wouldn't have gotten real! I'm sorry about your kid, but the whole world is about to be rocked by 10,000 years of fucking darkness, dude! Pull your head out of your ass. The responsible thing as Aang's son and the hope for the future of all air benders would be to cut your loses and insure that there will be a place for your air benders. I think it sucks that the guy is in his 40s or something and he's still burdened with daddy issues. Really? And this guy calls himself a spiritual leader?

No, wait. It's Aang's Fault
    I have a hard time believing that Aang could turn out to be such a bad dad. It makes me think of that movie Hook where Peter Pan grows up and becomes a lawyer. You'd think someone like Aang, who, at the age or 11 or 12, was presented as one of the most compassionate people on the planet, as opposed to someone who is prone to obsession, would have some idea about how to raise a family? Think about the kid who escorted two feuding families through a dangerous canyon of wild, man-eating animals and made them forgive each other? He also forgave General Zhao for killing the fucking moon. Not even Iroh did that! Does that sound like the guy who would grow up into a father who showed favoritism and imposed his expectations on his kids so hardcore that they carried that baggage into their middle age and grew up to be losers with poor self-esteem? "He was too busy trying to build a city and save the world," and etc. was the excuse. Really? And Katara was so ineffectual as a mother that she couldn't rein in her kids' dad or pick up the slack? Katara is the girl who inspired a bunch of spirit-crushed earth bender prisoners to rebel after 10 years against some douchebag oppressor of douchebaginess and taught the value of sexual equality to a an entire culture with one short visit.


No! It's the Northern Water Tribe's Fault!
How come every villain so far is some waterbending asshole of the northern water tribe? With a brother. Last series, the fire nation was full of assholes. Now, it's the northern water tribe's turn to be a dick. I see what you're doing, Michael and Brian!


And how come everyone is a superior bender to Korra? Aang was pretty much nails in the first season, yet Korra is contantly outdone by PENCIL PUSHING OLD MEN AND OLD BALLED DESK JOCKYS! Seriously, the old men who run the country must work out hardcore! Have you seen Korra? Chick's BUFF as shit! No wonder the world politics is as such, all the world leaders spend 8 hours of the day training! They can't be bothered to think about the concequences of permitting hostile invasions and occupations, they gotta keep in shape so they can beat someone who by all rights should be 4 times more powerful! Also, how come most soldiers in the world seem to be less effective benders than athletes in their teens and elderly law makers? The pecking order would suggest that being old and having political power automatically makes you more powerful than the present demi-god.

That said, I enjoyed Korra season 2, unlike season 1. There were episodes I even loved. Fills me with hope for the next season and future series.

My Type of Woman

Here's a list of characteristics that I'm looking for in a woman
1) Atheist; Not even spiritual
2) Creative
3) Intelliegent
4) Doesn't want Kids
5) Doesn't like Dogs or exotic pets including reptiles, aviators, insects, fish, etc.
6) Likes Cats
7) Introvert
8) Doesn't Have a Life, Socially Inactive: Prefers Indoor, creative and intelligent Activities
9) Doesn't like Traditions or Observe Holidays
10) Likes the rain.

That would be it. Notice how I left out physical attributes? It's actually because I'm physically attracted to a very wide range of sizes, shapes, colors, etc. although I am partial to short hair. Also, see any obvious problems? This kind of woman is not likely to cross my path because she probably goes out as much as I do and she doesn't go far. I should look into online dating.

Mythbusters Sucks

I used to love Mythbusters. In about 2006 it became clear to me that the Mythbusters had completely run out of ideas. Then they asked for fan ideas. Blech. The myths became less and less interesting and the fan service booms became more and more redundant.

Why was Mythbusters a good show to begin with? Jamie and Adam. They have a classic serious guy/silly guy dynamic. They're genuinely interesting and fun people. Those other jerks, Kari, Tori, and Grant, have no chemistry. I call them "female audience, male audience, minorities." They were fun as the build team which included Scotty and they were less involved with the show. Back then, the group dynamic was two spunky girls and their guy play thing. I really like them individually, but I never liked them as Mythbusters.

I'd like them to move away from blowing shit up to debunking anything they wanted, from conspiracy theories to bogus science claims. Adam Savage said he'd like to do something like this.
