Avatar Everywhere! Nostalgia Critic and #SeptBender!

September 7, 2013 /

We’re SO CLOSE! And there’s so much KORRA right beyond our fingertips!

But we must keep calm, and I’ve been doing so with some Avatar/Korra goodness from around the web.

Hypable (with help from RCDispatch listener InkAsRain) is smack dab in the middle of #SeptBender, a month long celebration of everything Korra. 

Their words: “Every day in the month of SeptBender, your trusty Hype-benders will be posting articles about The Legend of Korra! We’ll be bringing you infographics, interviews, reviews, relationships, thoughts, theories, and even the occasional GIF post!”

You can follow all the posts at their Korra tag HERE.

Thus far, #SeptBender has been no joke. I really enjoyed their interview with David Faustino (HEY MAKOOOOOO!) and we’re only, what, 7 days into #SeptBender? Check it out.

Also, for those of you that dug our commentary track for the Live Action The Last Airbender movie, internet critic and video-bender The Nostalgia Critic has just launched his 39 minute, very detailed, very visually impressive takedown of the exact same movie. Except his version features M. Night Shyamalan as Amon, except Amon has Spoilers written all over his mask.

Nostalgia Critic won me over in under 2 minutes with this: “…ingenious writing, brilliant characters, and a fanbase obsessing over name-pronunciation rather than the meaning of each episode!”  

YES! MY PAIN IS FELT!

Check it out:

And don’t forget to re-subscribe to REPUBLIC CITY DISPATCH, you iTunes users! If you don’t use iTunes, make sure you’re on the new feed (old feed still works, but only for Book One).

Patches, Devindra and I are super-excited. Though Devindra might be just as excited about his impending nuptials. And who could blame him?

The avatar state is a defense mechanism, designed to empower you with the skills and knowledge of all the past Avatars. The glow is the combination of all your past lives, focusing their energy through your body. In the Avatar State, you are at your most powerful… but also at your most vulnerable. If you are killed in the Avatar State, the reincarnation cycle will be broken, and the Avatar will cease to exist.

Wow. Just: wow. Wow in an unbelievably positive manner.

mr-independent:

Myers-Briggs for the ATLA cast. You may have to zoom in a little, but it’s worth it. Dragonjam, this is relevant!

From the near-essential atla-annotated:

Praying at the Dinner Table

“We are grateful for this delicious food, for happiness and compassion…”

Yes, Tenzin was saying a blessing/prayer at the dinner table. Keep in mind that they live in a quasi monastery. They live on Air TEMPLE Island. Buddhist monks pray before eating.

And no, we never see Aang do this, but then we never really saw him eat at the flashbacks at the Air Temple.

Examples of a Thai monastery day: Click me!

More about the Air Nomads.

You mentioned in your 4th podcast that Toph was alive travelling the world teaching metal bending. This got my hopes, but then I searched it up and the Toph wikia page said that she unfortunately passed away sometime before 170 ASC. Anyways just putting that out there.

April 30, 2012 /

Well, here’s kicking off the big question of this week:

CAN SOMEONE SOURCE ME THE THING THAT SAYS TOPH IS DEAD?


The Avatar Wika page for her reads: “Toph passed away sometime before 170 ASC, but a statue now stands in her honor at Republic City’s police headquarters.[7]”

But that little 7 that is supposed to link to the source leads to an interview with Andrea Romano, voice casting director, who only says a few lines about Korra, one of them being

_______________________________________________

Q: Will Aang in any way be in the series?

ANDREA ROMANO: I don’t know how much of the series I’m allowed to tell you, but that whole generation has died. It’s the next generation. So it’s really cool. It’s the same producers. It’s the same brilliant attention to detail and I’m very excited. Right now we are just making twelve of them and we’ll see what happens.

_______________________________________________


That interview was published August 2nd 2010 when they were only 3 episodes into creating the series and it’s the only source we have for Toph being dead?
So, I went back to the Comic Con transcript and there’s only this mention of Toph in the past tense from Michael:
Michael: So Toph, as you know, was a metal bender. She kind of like, travelled the world, started teaching people, earth benders, how to harness this ability. It’s still kind of a rare thing. Not every earth bender does metal bending but, we have these kind of, it’s the elites, kind of swat team of Republic City.“

A combo of the Comic Con panel and allusions to Toph’s activities in The Promise (Part One) was where Devindra was pulling from when he said Toph was traveling the world teaching metal bending in Episode 3 of the podcast (which is finally ready for you on iTunes by the way), but I can’t find anywhere that says Toph is actually dead.
Bring me official quotes of Toph’s dead-ness! Do they exist?
