Legend of Korra Predictions/Hopes
Ok, I know what all of you are thinking…
…but just hear me out. I swear, I would never put stuff up like this unless I knew I thought it through. Being a History major forces you to examine things. I’m also considering Byrke’s trends and styles in ATLA and applying them here. It’s a bit longer than I hoped, so bear with me. I tried to break it down so it’s easier to read.
For the Next Episode
- I hope we see those screencaps, where Korra breathes fire and attains that cut on her cheek, in this episode.
- I hope Jinora, Ikki, and Meelo are going to be cute airbabies toward their new guests
- I predict that Tarrlok is going to be the new Chief of Police, with his task force ousting the metalbenders :(
- I predict that Lin Beifong will not be/has a minor appearance in this episode because she will be preparing her work outside the law (dun, dun, dunnnnn)
- I hope to see more flashbacks, possibly with voices
- I hope to see Korra airbending, even a little
- I predict that Korra’s growing maturity will finally show some results through airbending or Spirit World stuff
That’s it for Episode 8. I won’t go beyond that b/c I predicted stuff for 7 that turned out wrong. *cough* Equalist!Asami *cough*
Season 1
- I predict that Korra will go into the Avatar State near the end of the season, possibly the last episode. I believe this because she’s struggling a lot with her spiritual side. The more she matures, the more she grows closer to unleashing it. I think Byrke might make us wait until the season finale to make the moment so much more powerful because of the wait. Also, because of Korra’s already impulsive personality, something extreme will have to happen for her to activate the Avatar State.
- I hope Korra sees Aang in the Spirit World or elsewhere similar. I’m not sure b/c if it’s gonna take her a while to get into the Avatar State, she might not get to the Spirit World before then. She might, but not likely.
- I predict that we will see Zuko or a relative of his (his daughter?), possibly in Skeleton in the Closet due to Dante Basco’s voice cameo.
- I predict that Tahno will have a larger role to play in the Krew, though I’m not sure exactly what.
- I predict that Hiroshi Sato will eventually redeem himself and change sides due to Asami’s reasons to oppose the Equalists, realizing he acted based on impulsive hatred. However, he might lose his fortune in the process. This could be season 1 or 2, not sure.
- I predict that Pema will have her baby, another airbender.
- I hope I see Jinora or Ikki, even Meelo, kick some Equalist butt.
- I predict that Lin Beifong is going to save her Metalbenders and sabatoge the Equalists in various secret attacks. I think she will mainly plan and fight alone, however, with the Krew helping out occassionally during the fights. Beifong might even get her own episode, with Toph background story!! :D
- I hope Tarrlok eventually gets ousted from Chief of Police. I even think he might be working for the Equalists as undercover, however, not because he wants to rid people of their bending. He might do it in order to protect himself and gain power (his main objective). He might even do it in order to get close to the enemy, eventually destroy them, and take credit for it. However, in the end, I think he’s going to meet the same fate as Admiral Zhao. He seems like a dispensible, “lesson learned” character.
- I predict that another minor or major character will lose their bending. IDK who though.
- I predict that Mako and Asami will eventually break up, probably due to Mako finally realizing what he wants. When he goes to tell his feelings to Korra, she rejects him probably b/c: a) she had finally got over him, b) too dangerous to love during a war, c) she realizes as the Avatar, she cannot afford to love. The Makorra relationship will be put on hold.
- I predict that the Equalists will continue to triumph over the Krew and benders until they take over Republic City, forcing the Krew to travel to the South Pole and benders to flee.
- I predict Amon will not be killed or defeated by the end of the season and will continue to be the antagonist in Season 2. With Nickelodeon only giving Byrke 2 seasons to work with, introducing a new villain would be very difficult and would ruin the story and the characters’ development.
So yeah, that’s Season 1. Everything after this is pure speculation.
Season 2
- I predict that Tahno’s bending (and anyone who lost theirs) WILL return through some form of spiritual meditation that we might never have even heard of or considered. I mean, who even thought about Energybending being a possibility until the Sozin’s Comet episodes? Byrke has something up their sleeves and their shows are very Asian culture based. There might be some ancient practice they’ve researched and decided would be a great idea to return a person’s bending.
- I hope the Krew will travel the world (Ba Sing Se, Omashu, Fire Nation Capital, North Pole, etc.) to stop Equalists
- I hope Korra and Bolin learn metalbending from Lin Beifong
- I hope Bolin and Mako become traditional bending masters
- I predict Korra will be a fully realized Avatar by the end (most likely)
- I hope Makorra is endgame, after they struggle to love one another throughout the series
Ok thats it…wait, what about who Amon really is?! I honestly don’t know. There’s so many possibilities:
- an nonbender who really did lose his family to a firebender
- a bender (fire?) who’s lying about his past and wants to take over the world
- a spirit (Honestly, idk)
- or….Bumi, Aang’s son…
Anyways, hope some of these things actually come true. I have so many more ideas, but I think I did enough, for now. You’re probably not even reading anymore. Oh well, ;)
