"Yer an avatar, korra" "I'M A WHAT" (Korra liveblog 1)

because I don't know I am going to liveblog the season premiere of Korra because I don't think it's going to be very good and I need to express my feelings. This is all going to be in (more or less) real time and obviously, spoilers ahoy

Oh right I'd forgotten how rushed the opening is ugh it's like tenzin is talking at the speed of light. Also that cgi Aang statue kills me every time

uh yeah I was talking screenshot by photographing my tv with my phone.

UGH GROSS GET THIS OUT OF HERE(makorra is literally the worst). Also not entirely sure how I feel about republic city president but aight I guess. (also why would bumi moving to air temple island be so important that it's on the news or whatever I just don't know ok whatever)

if there isn't a kaiju in this scene I'm going to be so disappointed

"you never know what creatures lurk in the murky depth" (IF IT ISN'T A KAIJU I--)

THAT HAS TO BE A KAIJU

it's only taken me ten minutes to get 30 seconds into the episode

I still really like the pro bending guy's voice

cuties

heroes of cosplay

"where's mako when I need him?" probably off ruining someone's relationship and generally being a tool na mean

awkward cgi motorcycle and truck chase scene followed by horrible pun..thing. these people made avatar the last airbender????

cgi propeller.

SOME GUY: I hate to mention the elephant-rhino in the room, but here's some convenient plot exposition that you, Asami, head of this company, somehow would not know????

 I mean come on. that said Asami looks way good in those riding breeches.

.......this is stupid

aaaaand it's nice to see that Korra and Tenzin's relationship hasn't grown or changed at all. quality writing. seriously all their interactions from episode one have been:

TENZIN: you need more training!
KORRA: I DO WHAT I WANT THOR TENZIN. YOU'RE NOT MY REAL DAD

I don't even know what his mouth is doing here

how does bumi have the most annoying voice

this is adorable

airbender children are still adorable and I love  them.

omg shut up get out of here I hate you

wow their relationship what. also why am I suddenly reminded of the star wars prequels.

the music on this show is still incredible

"Tell that to the sailors who are being attacked by angry spirits in the southern waters" YOU MEAN KAIJU? ARE YOU ACTUALLY TALKING ABOUT KAIJU AND SOUTHERN WATERS IS A WEIRD EUPHEMISM FOR THE PACIFIC OCEAN????

ok not super into the whole like... brotherly rivalry or...whatever between the two chiefs like I don't really care. also how can they be brothers but both be heads of two SEPARATE tribes??? nobody knows.

GURRRRRRL where did you get that outfit.

I like this weird flamboyant business man.

wait what. why is bolin suddenly like girl crazy? it's so dumb and it's not what his character was in the last season (you know before he was reduced to a caricature) and I have a lot of feelings about how the creators went from so progressive on a femenist front in Avatar to "put your gams away ginger" in this train wreck

Katara is more over this episode than I am

also wat:

KORRA: Kawaii desu~~
MAKO: my kokoro goes doki doki for u~

what the aubrey plaza like I get this character is supposed to be...weird or something but like what

me too Bolin, me too

haha lol that's way good

the fight scene with the spirit beast is beautifully choreographed and the part where Uunalaq turns the dersite spirit into a prospitian is pretty cool

wait what is this lighting I'm so confused:

TENZIN: part of being an airbender is glowing.

at least this show is still beautiful.

THE SOUTH POLE I WANT TO SEE THIS SO BAD

......why is everyone at the air temple weird. everyone in this show needs to take a chill pill

steampunk snow machines...o....ka..y

that storm looks cool (I am getting tired of getting up and taking pictures on my phone)

"don't worry, I will protect you my feeble turtle-duck" LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLL

oh man family dramazzzzzz. also banishment? oh wait maybe Korra's dad isn't the chief I just thought he is

wait now I have no idea what is going on

this cello is so dramatic

I don't understand who these barbarians are supposed to be.

wow is this a metaphor for like deforestation?

BUT EVERYTHING CHANGED WHEN THE KAIJU ATTACKED

I don't understand this magic waterbending spirit power but ok.

SHAME FAMILY SHAME FAMILY DRAMAAAAAAA that's what makes good television right

willie is trying really hard to scrape his way out of the laundry room next to me.

dad just told him to to go to bed. it worked for like three seconds

apparently liveblogging about my dog is more interesting than this show, womp

UUNALAQ DO THE WINDY THING

seriously where is he there are like seven thousand of these things where did he go oh there he is

OHHH SNAP KORRA JUST CALLED YOU OUT!!!!!!

oh I guess my mom is going to come talk to me

why does korra keep saying "I wonder which side you're really on!!!"

Willie is sticking his paw and mouth under the door to get through

KORRA IS ENTERING THE FOREST

spooky scary skeletons up in here

wait why can't the spirits go through the ice???????????

korra who are you talking to

WHAT. what. she didn't even have to DO ANYTHING!! she just touched the butt in avatar mode ugh what even ok whatever that was dumb I don't care. ugh mako get out of here.

...who are these people? why am I supposed to be scared of them? OH NO MY RECORDING ENDED BEFORE I COULD FIND OUT!!!!!!! whatever.
