Am I the only one who doesn't think Kuvira is the villain? It seems too transparent to have the final villain introduced in the manner that they've introduced her.

It does seem a bit heavy-handed so here's hoping they go in a different direction and throw everyone off.

Decided to start catching up today. I'm up to Avatar Wan's story. :ohhh:

Wan the GAWD.

Those two episodes highlighted what they could really do and made the rest of that season worse by comparison.

I’m really pleased with the choice to have Kuvira wear gloves. It seems like a small detail but it actually gives a great deal of insight into the character herself

  • She’s an earthbender who literally doesn’t want to touch earth. Contrast this with the rough and tumble ways of all the ATLA earthbenders, many of whom did not even wear shoes.
  • This sign of her fastidious nature makes her extreme proficiency in metalbending perfectly natural. Like Guru Pathik told Aang, metal is simply earth that has been purified and refined. It’s no surprise that Kuvira would be attracted to the ”purer” and more controlled metal as a weapon.
  • And of course there is the symbolism of her using a gloved hand to force the governor into signing what amounts to the type of dirty ”protection” contract seen in many broken societies—Kuvira is essentially a warlord but she truly believes in her image as ”The Great Uniter” and the necessity of her own power. This is a deeper sense of purpose and surety than even Azula displayed, which sets her in direct contrast to the wayward and under-confident Korra.


Well goddamn. I don't know what to do with this information

:dead: @ Zaheer stringing up Korra like Hannibal Lecter.

Looks like out of all the villains introduced Zaheer has the best motive.

EDIT: Spoke too early, Earth Queen got that bytch :lupe:
