Asami. I actually like her best out of all the heroes now. Mako and Bolin are failures as characters imo.

Whoops, off-topic pagetopper. Here, ponies:

I was pissed when she didn't stay with her dad.

The fact that I can't remember her name speaks volumes of how much I care about her.

My fav hero is Tenzin

"so, I was just thinking, I really wanna see My Way Entertainment take a shot at Fi M"

Awwwwww yeeeeeeeahhHH!

Sorry, Kegisak, I can't buy that. Chi blocking is implicitly non-lethal and not painful. They could have taken down the kids without hurting them at all just by using their normal tactics.

Apparently I am your opposite, Tenzin bores the hell out of me.

On-topic: What is My Way Entertainment?

Don't give me that face, I'm reading your manga aren't I?

...

Out of curiosity, why do people on the internet keep using the word "shipping" when they should use "romance". The two aren't synonymous.

These dudes who make highly profane gag dubs.

The first Power Ranger one was the best however.

Guys who did this.

My Way Entertainment are the guys behind the Juggernaut, bitch!

I found Juggernaut Bitch to be very boring.

The Power Ranger dubs were my favorites.

DRAGOOON SHEEEEEEET!

Wait, is that Age of Wonders?

I return from pirate minigolf and eating copious amounts of caramel corn. What are we discussing now?

I had a Fridge Brilliance concerning Applejack's suspicion of Zecora in Bridle Gossip. Given the way she acted about the Everfree Forest, she probably was most scared of Zecora simply because of where she lived. And I realized that it makes perfect sense that Applejack, of all the Mane Six, would have a distrust of the forest. As a farmer, her livelihood involves "taming" the land and the crops and the animals. It wouldn't really count as agriculture for someone to just let the crops and animals go wherever they wanted to, like in the Everfree Forest. The way the forest works is completely opposite to the structured lifestyle Applejack is used to! Plus the fact that she had some scary experiences in the Everfree Forest, not only in the pilot but with the poison joke would add to her dislike of that place. Given all that, I looked at it from Applejack's point of view and realized that she was being quite reasonable, in her point of view, to forbid Apple Bloom from going into the forest. When I first saw the episode, I hated the way Applejack treated her sister because of my dislike for the Not Now, Kiddo trope, but in this case, while Zecora may not be dangerous, there are OTHER things in the forest that most definitely are and that could easily eat Apple Bloom. That same knowledge of the dangers present in the forest would also go for the other five members of the Mane Cast as well.

This came out of me thinking about Applejack being my favorite of the Mane Six, and how even a trait of hers that I found annoying earlier (her being dismissive and overprotective of her sister) ended up being more understandable when I looked at the situation from Applejack's point of view. So thinking about that made her position as my favorite even more certain (that's not to say that she doesn't have flaws, it's just that the flaws she does have don't really take away from my opinion of her character).

I also was thinking about how Apple Bloom, in that episode, didn't care what others said about Zecora and was willing to be friendly with her, but later on, her fear of Diamond Tiara's bullying made her more afraid of what others think about her. I wonder if there would ever be a story where Apple Bloom's friendship with Zecora would come into conflict with her fear of Diamond Tiara's bullying?

Little bit of Korra and funny.

Every time you post something, it's 85% of the time a wall of text, why is that?

@Freeman "I'm a Nigga Gangzta!"

There, you found something we can agree on.

Personal trivia: that Juggernaut thing was the first thing I ever watched on Youtube, back when I didn't have internet and didn't know what youtube was. A friend showed it to me.

Actually, it seems like Chi-blocking is actually pretty painful, considering most characters it's used on scream when it happens. and even if it wasn't, most decent people would still think twice about doing it to a kid.

Plus a precision technique is really difficult to use on someone small, particularly when they practice a martial art dedicated to mobility.

@Rainbow: In all honesty I think their general fear of Zecora was a lot more warranted than a lot of people make it out to be. Not that they're totally innocent by any means, but looking at things from their point of view, it wasn't illogical to be at least a little creeped out.

Who's this Iroh guy? Or does he only show up in episode 10?

@Rainbow: Nice analysis. Applejack isn't the sort to jump to conclusions without good evidence, and she in fact did have evidence so her actions made perfect sense.

Shows up at the very end of episode 10.

@Kegi I thought they screamed because they were benders. And benders are COLLOSAL fucking pussies who can't stand existing two seconds without their precious bending.

Sokka was chi blocked in The Chase and he didn't seem in any kind of pain at all

But...it's Sokka...

@JT: We seem to be talking about Korra and youtube videos.

Korra spoilers apparently. It sounds like the Equalists end up losing in a fight against the air bender kids for some reason.
