I don't doubt that opal and bolin would have a child named crystal

she's one of the best things to happen to avatar. I love her and I love how much she loves korra.

I don’t even care if she even had a good reason to destroy everything or not she’s amazing and I love her.

I haven’t seen anyone talk about this before, so I’d love to spark a conversation!

The technology: radios became more prominent in the US in the 30s, as well as the cars shown throughout the show. Planes became a reliable way to travel (hence why we see them at this time). Silent films were a popular form of entertainment for the 20s, and Varrick’s movers are a perfect example of the cross referencing.

Pro bending: pro bending sort of represents boxing (the gear and arena) and was the most popular sport in the 20s.

Poverty: As we know, Bolin and Mako lived on the streets. The Great Depression took place during the late 20s to mid 30s, leaving many in ruins. In one of the episodes, (I think Bolin?) is seen using newspapers as a way to stay warm, aka “Hoover blankets.” These were named after US President Herbert Hoover, who believed in rugged individualism.

I probably missed some other references, if you know anymore lmk! Ty for indulging in my nerdiness 🫡

Discussion thread to talk about the possibility that they ripped away Korra's past lives because she had "enough" people from Aang's time, whereas Aang had nobody left from Roku's? And every other Avatar about whom we've learned so far had both....... now, Pavi and Nisha (so far as we know) will only have Korra?

It's official, kuvira wasn't feeding the boy properly

Not for any weird reasons like “she’s a girl,” he isn’t like that whatsoever.

But I adore Korra basically as much as TLA, and I just can’t get him to watch it. It’s like getting blood from a stone.

He’s said something to the effect of “I loved Avatar, and that’s enough for me,” which I respect. And of course, I can’t force anybody to watch anything.

When he finished TLA and I talked about Korra initially, he was mildly distressed that most of the Gaang were dead, and I reminded him it’s kind of a part of the whole Avatar story. To which he was like “Oh, yeah, duh, I guess.”

I just love this show so much, and I would love for him to experience it. Has anybody else known anybody with this particular obstacle?

Butch Hartman drew Aang in TFOP style 😂 Come to think of it, Aang started only two years older than Timmy, and totally deserves and would need Fairy Godparents or a genie or something for all thru which he's been 😭

THIS IS A JOKE I LOVE MAKO <333333333333333

Now me personally I do think their are LEGITIMATE criticisms you can make of the show. BUT it seems as if a lot of people have to be rather…annoying about it, to the point I’d say the Korra haters are just a level below the One Piece Glazers in terms of annoying. So I’m curious to hear about the WORST Korra haters posts you can remember seeing. And I’ll rank them from 1 to 10. 1 being genuinely good faith criticism. And 10 being did you even watch the show?

Bolin and Mako remind me of me and my own brother respectively so it sucks seeing people hate on them all the time. I thought Bolin was generally beloved but I guess not. Could be a loud minority though.

It's gotten to a point where I saw someone say they liked Eska abusing Bolin because it was "A taste of his own medicine" and "She's the kind of woman I want to be" like we shouldn't be glorifying abuse.

Yes, kissing Ginger without her consent and working for Kuvira were bad things. But; Bolin was 17-ish during the former, plenty of time to change and grow. For the latter, as soon as he found out what was actually happening, he was out of there and tried to make amends.

He's not perfect, but people way over-inflate the bad things he did.

He's called a "knock-off Sokka" for being comic relief too which just isn't how you should look at characters

Hear me out, post LOK series Bolin was perfectly set up to be the next President of Republic city. It would’ve been his coming of age arch.
- he was born there dirt poor
- was involved in gangs to survive (able to understand the needs of the poor)
- was a famous pro bender (who doesn’t love pro bending)
- part of team avatar and helped saved the world & mainly Republic city multiple times
- dating someone in the blood line of toph bi fong
- a famous mover star, international known
He would’ve won the election by a landslide

Found this online. It’s nice to see them all grown up and married in Avatar Seven Havens!
