I saw a blurb describing Kuvira's fighting style, and how she seems to focus on blinding and silencing people, and compared it to fascist movements, and how they would censor their subjects. Nice commentary. I'll see if I can find it again.
I think that this might be the problem that, FINALLY, can be solved with aggression and such, and it's the first problem that Korra ISN'T going to initially try to solve that way. I think that the title of the book, "balance", could refer to Korra finding an equilibrium between her old aggressive self, and this new, happy feeley Korra.
Also, congrats, ECP, on the analysis so far. been spot on. ESPECIALLY w/ Zhu Li.
Except, this time Vegeta has Plot Armor. Take of that what you will, try to get over your fanboyism, and actually have a discussion. Please. Otherwise, I might go w/ what I said earlier in the thread, just so that we can be done with it.
I confess myself disappointed. not in the planeswalker we got, but in the one we didn't get: Commodore Guff. SO wanted that to be a thing.
ah, well... if you can't beat em... I like Nahiri. Good flavor, Just wish (along with others) that she was more of a "control" walker.
But, looking at the order of operations in sealing the Eldrazi, it seems that all that Nahiri did was make the Hedrons: Ugin provided the alignment/know-how to get them working.
I have to apologize, because I'm not sure about this, but what angels have been "flocking out of the spoilers"? there have been 3-4 white cards spoiled and one token. only 2 angels. I wouldn't call that "flocking", more like "par for the course" for white, especially if those are the only angels mentioned.
Sorry about all the pessimism and such. something something chickens hatching.
this kinda reminds me of an old thread titled "batman VS God" or something like that, designed to get people to stop posting Batman related threads here... Is this your intent? If so, I approve. FAR too much fanboyism going on there.
SO! this is how it goes down:
Vegeta convinces Bulma that Goku is completely inept, and Bulma creates a modified version of the virus that almost kills Goku during the Android Saga. Of course, Bulma designs this new virus to do two things: act instantly, and only affect Goku's DNA signature. BUT! anyone can be a carrier. So, Vegeta infects himself with the virus, confronts Goku, and kills him. Of course, they gather the Dragon Balls to revive Goku, but, once he comes back to life, he is infected by the virus again and promptly dies... again. Thus ensuring that he could never be brought back to life.
A year passes, and Vegeta gathers the Dragon Balls and wishes for Goku to remain in heaven/hell wherever he is. Boom. Vegeta wins.
so, finally got around to watching the most recent episode.
did anyone NOT see Kuvira taking over coming? I mean, seriously! it was OBVIOUS!
I enjoyed Toph's stuff: good to see that she's still as spunky as ever. The traces of poison was a nice touch. I'm thinking that Korra will go into the Avatar mode in order to remove them.
I also predict that Bolin will become disillusioned with Kuvira's tactics, and start to report information on her to the other nations. Bonds tested, love found, and Mako STILL cannot keep a girl. I also predict that Prince Wu will become an actually decent ruler by the end of the series, as he seems to be going through some character development and isn't just a scapegoat/strawman ruler.
I honestly feel that Kuvira is going to become a Villain With Good Publicity. She is going around, bringing order to chaos, and people are going to WANT her to lead. Then, when Korra (eventually) comes out against her, it's going to split the four nations.
Now, I feel that Korra is trying to get her "fire" back, by doing these arena fights. She's trying to get back into the "I'm the Avatar, you gotta deal with it!" attitude, and it's not helping. She's lost her connection to the past Avatars (it seems. I'm not convinced that they'll keep it that way.) so she has to find her own way.
I am not going to debate this, as that is not the purpose of the thread. If you want to rehash this same discussion, open a new thread, please. The discussion is in the title.
I would agree with ECP, assuming the kittens are, indeed, using magic and not some form of communication.
Also, does Goku know when they start? and how long does it take for Shazam! to show? Do the kittens need to maintain the connection until Shazam! shows up? Would Goku even WANT to stop the summoning, in order to fight Shazam!?

But, yeah, I very much enjoyed todays UR.
I wish I had a wish to make.

Just my predictions. Whaddya think, ECP?
Unfortunately, due to his bungling, the Illuminati has regained control and is currently pushing him out of the government-control market.
The only countries that pikachugundam currently run are Latvia, Estonia, and some small Phillipino nations.
Any hint as to why?
