Avatar: The Last Airbender + The Legend of Korra

I was wondering how old Basco was. Does he just have a semi-high voice? (or is it just me picturing Zuko every time Iroh says something?)

hmm... Iroh needs to grow his hair out. He'd look cooler with long hair. ...but I think that way about almost everyone.

long hair makes everyone cooler lol

you all say he sounds like a teenager...

you do realise that Dante Basco is 36 years old? 37 this august

just wondering XD

Well, yeah, he looked like a teenager/young adult in Hook, so I doubt he'd be very young. XD

Well, it's not about Dante Basco's actual voice. It's the voice he's using for Zuko/Iroh. What we mean is that if he can't (or won't) do another variation on that/his voice, then he probably shouldn't be voicing someone that looks that old (20 or so) because it looks/sounds silly.

[Asj]

Iroh looks like 25-35 to me. And if he's only in his early 20's, I don't see how it's possible for him to be a General already.
(also, I was curious, so I looked up an American Dragon episode to see how much Jake Long's voice is similar to Zuko's. Jake's voice is faster and... slightly different, like an accent or something. And maybe slightly higher than Zuko's, at least at times. Though, when I heard, "Move on?! How can you say that after everything I've been through?" I found it interesting how much it sounded like Zuko.)

RU-FI-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooo

Back then he was a mohawk bender.

Anyone else know Dante Basco for portraying Bat in the Hokuto no Ken live action? I laughed when I first found out!

Mohawk Bender is best bender.

Since Zuko is still alive and Aang is dead, can we get fucking Zutara up in this shit? I mean, why the fuck not? Zuko is the closest thing to a brother since they are almost related! Literally, Avatar blood in his veins. I mean, if it wasn't for the creators shying away from that relationship because it is to mature for a younger audience, it'd be the best animated romance due to them being definite enemies first. I know she ends up being like the sister he never had but....just look at this moment!

Ugh, I think I need to stop watching TLA. It's starting to get on my nerves.

[kabutoottonin]

that moment you realise that Zutara is still possible...

[RyoSoulreaper]

Bubble bursting time.

Spoiler! :

MAI.

[Afrohawkman]

Pfft, that's not bursting anyone's bubble, Zutara can still happen. (not that I want it to)

Also, I found something the other day I found really hilarious. Remember that scene where Suki saved Toph by diving in the water to save her? Notice that the paint on her face was still on there after she saved her? Apparently she had waterproof paint. Now fast forward to Legend of Korra, where Amon's identity was revealed by exposure to water. No waterproof paint? You'd think a WATERBENDER would think waterproof paint was a good idea.

[Asj]

...Zutara kind'a sounds disgusting to me for The Legend of Korra. Let's just keep the romance to the young people, okay...?

hmm... when Katara dressed like the painted lady, I think her make-up stayed on for awhile, but constant battering made it fade. Though, I think maybe Amon didn't expect to get near water. I do wonder what he did when he wasn't Amon, though, if he did want it to be easy to wipe off. We never saw who he actually was at that time...

[Molly-sama]

The Painted Lady just showed the paint coming off a little bit due to the constant water splashing. It's possible the face paint used by the Kyoshi warriors is stronger. They probably made it themselves.

Also, I...I'm disappointed in the finale, the more I think about it.

Spoiler! :

Aside from little animation shortcuts I noticed here and there (I don't think I saw a single person on Iroh's ship move except Iroh himself), WHY DID THE AVATAR STATE APPEAR LESS THAN TWO MINUTES BEFORE THE EPISODE ENDED. Out of a 12 episode series, I really think "Amon's endgame" should have been at least four episodes. There's just...gah. Just about everyone on tumblr said the same thing, but daaaamn:

No real resolution to the anti-bending issue, Korra getting her airbending through one instance of spirituality (unless Aang trying to reach her counts - no). Why did that BS plan go off so well? In AtLA, a good plan backfired royally (The Invasion/Day of Black Sun eps). Yes, there was less time, but they're the ones that gave themselves two episodes for it all. Bumi and Bolin were wasted. Hell, Iroh was wasted, imo. Amon didn't really have a ton of forces, despite beginning a huge attack on a city central to their world's government. You think he'd figure out something better than "pop a mask on Aang and stark kidnapping people," this one just irks me a bit...why didn't the airplanes have more of an impact on Amon's take over as a whole? They were brand new technology, right? Eh...

I'm not alone in thinking that then... I'm not sure if it's because Korra didn't do as well as Last Airbender or it just plain wasn't in the cards, but I feel the season should've gone on for a few more episodes than 12, at least for the sake of tying things up a bit neater. Plus the rush ending makes me fear that this will be a "one-and-done" series, I guess that was the plan, but still...

I think it SHOULD be with how they did things but the Animators Tumblr's say otherwise.

There is a season 2 in the works.
