...Because Iroh's a spirit now... And it's only Jinora who can see the spirits do to her strong connection with the spirit world.

Last time I checked, siblings weren't clones of one another. They only grew up so differently because Aang and Katara interacted with them differently.

Shouldn't we move all this Korra talk to the...Korra thread? Seems more fitting.

What, and have it fill up with Cubed's comments? I say we should keep it here.

He seems to have calmed down a bit.

The Korra thread is filled with Book 4 discussion, I'm not up to that yet. I'm up to the last two episodes of Season 2.

You know a show about Aang's kids would have been good. Its rather odd that the most likeable characters of this show aren't Korra and the brothers, its actually Tenzin and his family.

Asami is very disappointing, but at least she's eye candy so I cut her some slack.

Book 4 has stated yet so good, unless you mean book 3 then yes it is full of spoilers

What are you even trying to say?

In the episode where the two crooked cops were eating that cake/pie and talking about how they eat it, was that sexual innuendo? One guy talked about how he liked to lick the cream off the top, while they other says he likes to shove it in his mouth all at once.

I've never seen such blatant sexual imagery in a kids cartoon in my life.

Don't be ridiculous. Quit looking into things that don't even exist.

So I watched the end of Season 2 and I'm confused:

1. Now that the link to the Avatar past lives is broken, are the old Avatar's "dead" for good? I assumed their spirits keep them "immortal" in a sense that they always existed within the light spirit. But now that the link is gone, are Aang and all the past avatar's dead or non-existant?

2. What was the giant blue person Korra made?

3. What is the afterlife in Avatar? We see Iroh in the spirit world after he died, but where does everyone else go? Is there a heaven in this universe?

4. Now that the spirit portals are open, what's to prevent Uncle Iroh from coming back to the real world?

1) yea pretty much....Korra is now the first avatar....
2) I really don't know.....maybe the tree did it?? they kinda gloss over that.
3).......I thought the avatar's lived in the spirit world....I'm not sure if they are still there....
4) nothing? or maybe dead people can't get out?? I don't know XDD

Also why was Jinnora so powerful? How did she turn into that being of energy at the end? Is there any reasons he can connect to the spirit world?

How can this be...

I agree with a CyberCubed opinion............

It's a new air bending thing...I think.

They were always dead for good, what Aang was able to do was reconnect with memories of his past lives. Now that connection is gone. So the previous avatars are no more alive or dead than they were before.

2. What was the giant blue person Korra made?

Pure Cosmic Energy/

3. What is the afterlife in Avatar? We see Iroh in the spirit world after he died, but where does everyone else go? Is there a heaven in this universe?

We don't know.
Iroh achieved enlightenment, which is why he can exist in the spirit world.
There is no indication of a heaven or hell in this universe.

4. Now that the spirit portals are open, what's to prevent Uncle Iroh from coming back to the real world?

He doesn't have a body to return to.

Because she's a true Air Nomad.

Then how were the past Avatar's able to have new conversations with Aang/Korra? If it was only memories it would be like a recording where they couldn't provide new information. I thought their spirits were immortal thanks to Raava.

Pure Cosmic Energy/

Do the writers ever explain what the hell Pure Cosmic energy is? Seems like a dues ex for no reason.

Because she's a true Air Nomad.

What's the difference between her and Aang or Tenzin? Why does she have all that power?

.

It's reincarnation, their "soul" is immortal. Korra is no less Aang now than she was before harmonic convergence. She just doesn't have access to his memories now.

Do the writers ever explain what the hell Pure Cosmic energy is? Seems like a dues ex for no reason.

Guru Pahtik explained it when he was teaching Aang how to clear his chakras.

What's the difference between her and Aang or Tenzin? Why does she have all that power?

Tenzin doesn't have the spiritual connection she does, and the show says as much. That's why he's never been able to enter the spirit world prior to going through the portal.

Aang was the Avatar, unlike other Air Nomads before him he's forbidden from detaching himself from the world like other Air Nomads were able to. Like Jinora can.

It might do you some good to look into Buddhist philosophy.

Watched up to ep 5 now, so this season is just about 4 criminals who want to kill Korra? Seems like a step down from the almighty evil spirit god that was going to destroy the world last season. Seems like the "big bad's" should have been reversed, this seems so low-key compared to the "ultimate evil" from the previous season.

One problem with this show is it makes its characters unlikeable. The Chief police woman was rather likeable in Season 1, but now in this season she's just a mean bitter old lady. She yells "get out" to that Opal girl and makes her cry just because she's mad at her sister. I haven't gotten far to see what the deal is between that yet but what's the point of this? Do the writers want us to hate the main cast? They're doing the same unlikeable things with her they did with Korra last season and making them into bitches.

Is the Earth Kingdom going to declare war on the Air Nomad's now? That would be interesting to see.

Asami...is still useless. Honestly why is she in this show? Her character has literally been background material for more than half the show, its like she had no reason to be around anymore after the end of Book 1. Does Asami ever do anything or is she just the useless background girl for the rest of the show?

Just keep watching... (Btw, how is the main cast unlikeable now? Besides Lin who you'll see why she's acting the way she is...)

[CyberCubed]

You know its odd they don't make a big deal out of Zuko in this show. Its like, "Hey, here's Lord Zuko!" likes its no big deal. Its not like he was one of the major characters and antagonists of the original series or anything. He's so low-key in this show. Its like...here he is. Do we ever find out what happened to the Fire Nation or if he had any kids?

Did the Earth Queen die? Or is this another "Jet" situation where a character actually died but they do it in an ambiguous way so Nick doesn't get angry e-mails from soccer moms?

I have to say the cast is a bit more likeable in this season. Maybe because all the dumb love triangle stuff is gone. Mako is still a bit bland but at least all the crap pro-bending and movie nonsense is over. Korra also isn't as annoying anymore.
