| @Raizen Very true. And the only Reason Wan and Korra could bend 4 elements w/o Raava was because when a spirit merges with a human, he/she gains some of its properties. @Kwando Yea at least two elements. Just hopefully none of them is waterbending. We've seen enough of overpowered waterbenders. |

The lion turtles that gave elements to people were all hunted and killed. The only one left is the one that gave energybending to Aang. It seems that each lion turtle is only capable of giving certain abilities to people so I don't think the only existing lion turtle would be able to give anyone airbending.
An earthbending villian would be cool although there was the Dai Lei in the first series. I think it would be interesting to have a true non-bender as a villian (since Amon was actually a waterbender).
Oic. I guess i forgot about that about the other lion turtles being killed off.
Yeah, i know what you mean about the dai lei, but they were like soldiers or body guards for their leader. What they need is a villain that is a master earth bender. Heck why not make it a girl and be sorta like an anti toph. (Similar skills, but evil/contrary goals to the avatar.) Korra should fight another girl the way katara fought azula. catfight anyone?
as for a non powered villain, they'd probably need to use some sort of tech like the mecha tanks or such, but i dont think it would be 'splashy' enough. Yes i know the end of book 1 was sorta anticlimatic with korra airkicking amon into the water and amon using his waterbending to escape and no element fight. Even though book 1 and 2 are different seasons, i consider it one because they both make up 26 eps total.
I think book 1 and book 2 are considered one whole season. Tv.com at least numbers the episodes as one season. I wouldn't mind another earth bender villain. The Dai Li were some of the best villains in the original series. I don't know if they can do anything completely new in terms of benders. We've covered fire, earth, water, and non-bending villains between both A: TLA and LoK.That just leaves air, but the creators stuck to their guns on Aang being the last human air bender before he and Katara had Tenzin. I think it is unlikely we'll get an air bending villain in this series.
I didn't reallyhave a problem withhaving another water bender antagonist in book 2. I was surprised so many people were upset over it to be honest. Themain villains inA: TLA were fire benders, so most of the antagonists we met were fire benders or from theFire Nation and it worked.AmonandUnalaq's methods, lieutenants, and minions were different enough that them being water benders didn't feel like a rehash.As long as the next book makes the antagonists threatening, havemotive, a good plan, and make us think they could win I'mfine whoever or whatever they are. I would good with an Anti-Team Avatar group, made up of water bender, earth bender, fire bender, and non bender to serve as evil counterparts to our heroes as long as they are built up as a genuine threat andtheir plan is sound.
I think the reason TV.com lists book 1 and 2 as one season is because seasons are generally 20 something episodes and that's how Nickelodeon is producing it. On paper they may be one season but for all intents and purposes, each book was intended by the creators to have a separate story arc.
I like the idea of having a female antagonist in book 3. Maybe also someone younger. I always thought that Zuko and Azula made more interesting villains than some of the adult characters.
I thinkyour likingof Zuko and Azula more than adult villains is due to their backgrounds, threat level,and characterization than their age. Really most of the other villains in the original were pretty one-dimensional. Zhao for instance just wanted glory and wasn't a great fire bender. He is easily forgettable villain when compared to Zuko and Azula. Long Feng was a fun and intriguing villain, but unfortunately his motives, characterization, and threat came to an end abruptly and his potential never fully realized. Ozai was generic with his character being the background most of the series. Combustion Man was just a generic hit man they didn't even bother to develop. It's not surprising people found Zuko and Azula more interesting than the adult villains.
More teenage villains could be fun though. I liked Korra's cousins andwish they got more screen time, but understand their limitedtime on screen with all the characters the season had to juggle.I'm hoping Verrick is a major antagonist in book 3. His weapons dealing gives him potential to be a big player if he wishes to be one. Someonewho built a jail in case he was caught could have loyal people still withinhis company that could run the day to day operations and give him access to his resources andwealth.

First shot of book 3

There was a shot with someone with a combustion tattoo
OMG, I am so hyped for the next book now. I was worried this might not be able to live up to Vatuu and Raava/Avatar origins of the last book, but this new twist has gotten me on the edge of my seat.
I didn't see Bolin, Mako, and Asami in there much, but when I did they looked like they had some significant roles. I hope this means they have more significant roles in this arc than they did the last one.
