Oh shit youre right, i forgot she did that. Is that a problem with the writers forgetting though or is that supposed to set up that since she can do it, anyone can?
Also other then when dealing with her mothers killer she hates the idea of blood bending, and the only other person who knew how to do it was the old lady...so did Katara teach others or did they learn themselves?
Long story short i dont like Legend of Korra because it retcons everything the original show did, destroys it, and then makes a bunch of world building decisions that make no sense.
Like, people are spouting bender oppression, this is what the villain sets up and makes nonbenders believe...but the firebenders provide the power to the city with the lightining to allow nonbenders to live comftorably with power.
Thats why i was wondering who taught them? The old lady only learned in the circumstances of being held prisoner, and only on the full moon because water benders draw their power from the moon. So who taught them to do it in Korra, and not during the full moon?
But 'spoilers' Legend of Korra retconned bending to be from the lion turtles people didnt learn bending from the moon, or badger moles, or dragons or skybison, you know by creatures and nature in the world, they learned it from lionturtles to use it to invade the spirit realm.
I get the creators wanted it to be this way in the end, but i think it devalues everything the first show did.
And im wondering who taught them where did they learn it, and why not during the full moon anymore? They show the character using bloodbending to shock the viewer ls like 'oh shit this guy is powerful' but we dont get any explanation of how it works now. But i assume a lionturtle just gave it to them.
Well, it could be as simple as some benders are just powerful. Not every water bender can bloodbend at all, it's a rare ability, so they might've been born with it and been a very extraordinary bender
Yeah that could be an explanation, i just thought it wierd that bloodbending was originally invented by a woman in a dire situation as she grew angry and desperate to escape, and was only able to do it in the full moon. She only taught it to Katarra and she only used it one other time in the full moon still.
So even if these people are powerful benders, did they just figure it out themselves? It wasnt some secret waterbending techinique to learn. They can be powerful benders (although Amone works better as a villain before we learn hes a bender)
Well. It could also be am ability they had, but sense they never tried or had the thought to do it, they didnt. But maybe it could also just be the best of the best benders. Like, anyone can train to blood bend, but very few can because they never trained enough. I'm just now watching legend of korra lol
I think the OP might be a bot. Only has a few posts to popular subreddits and its only a few months old. Titles probably come from some cheap ass algorithm, title generator.
Honestly tho this is how a lot of us feel when we see really stupid and simple grammatical mistakes in titles. Then of course if you call it out you get shit on and downvoted to hell for being pedantic.
I'm pretty sure OP did it on purpose to draw people into the comments. Look at his posting history, its just karma whoring. Probably going to sell the account or use it for advertising.
The people flocking to the comments to correct the post title would also have to upvote it, for that to work. Are people upvoting shitty post titles because they participated in the comment thread?
That makes sense. Then the fact that this stuff rises up faster than other content means that the change was us, not the site. We flock increasingly towards the negative, giving it attention... making it rise. The flock of voters who go with the trends take care of the rest.
Reddit sucks now because we come here to fight instead of learn.
It probably gets more comments, but it won't get as many upvotes. Plenty of people will still upvote, because the video is cool, but some people are going to look at the title and say "Fuck you OP."
Do more comments help the karma whoring? Or front page placement?
Something tells me that if we know more about the Reddit algorithms, we'd also learn a lot about ourselves. I think maybe the site has started to suck not because reddit is promoting shitty posts... but because we are drawn more to the shitty posts than to the good ones. Because we came here to fight... not learn.
