Legend of Korra Recap and Review, Plus Steph kicking someone

[espanolbot]

Due to my not being able to see Young Justice this week, where is a link to my review of the first episode of the series, Welcome to Republic City, which was aired officially on Nick's press release page. Spoilers abound, obviously.

And for the legality, here is Steph meeting up with Dean, the guy who got her pregnant for the first time since he dumped her during the earthquake in Cataclysm.

A bit of context for this, this is a guy, who when in a shopping mall that's being shaken apart by an earthquake, whose first decision is immediately run off, telling his girlfriend, that she's wasting her time saving people trapped in the debris. After this, when Steph found she was pregnant, his response was to say that it was probably someone else's, and promptly move to another city with his family.

Later, after a year long storyarc that covered her pregnancy and her heartrending decision to take the responsible choice by giving the kid up for adoption, Dean decides to stroll back into Steph's life in the worst possible manner you can think of,



Casstoon being prepped at the moment, should be up early this week.

They aired it? Fuck I missed it!

[espanolbot]

No, it was an early viewing for people who write reviews for magazines and stuff. The show will be airred for the actual viewing public in an hour long premiere on April 14th. :)

[mullon]

Was it a full episode or a clip? Was it an hour long too?

[long_silence]

The one I saw was a full half hour episode.

I guess the premiere will have the second episode.

[sherkahn]

Lucky! Lucky! Lucky!

[espanolbot]

The full first episode, the actual premiere will have the first two episodes, making it an hour long deal.

[mullon]

I can't decide if I want to watch it now or wait for the premiere.

That Steph scene will never get old. (I think we've got a Never Gets Old tag somewhere in there, even!) Nice art too, which Steph didn't always get in the early days.

[shadur]

The fact that her mother's only admonishment is that "He's getting up again" really makes it.

[sherkahn]

It just hit me... Korra is not going to do very well against Koh, is she?

[okkult3000]

Maybe she can wear a bag over her head?

[rdfox]

Ohhhhh, of all the times for you to miss YJ. WHAM after WHAM after WHAM this week...

[silverzeo]

Remember what Chief Wiggim says... if anyone comes into your homer( or property), anything you do to him is nice and legal.

That typo just made that quote so much better.

[sherkahn]

Doesn't it, though?

[sherkahn]

Juuust saw it. Wow, Viacom is pulling it down as fast as it goes up.

But it's GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD.

[glprime]

Found in under two minutes. Can't stop the signal :)

And I'm home from work today. EEEEEEEEEEEEE~

[blackruzsa]

It was a quick punch, but as good as we were hoping :) Steve Blum as Amon's voice is just so perfect.

AND THE JAZZ MUSIC. THE JAZZ MUSIC WAS AWESOME. It's like Avatar: The Last Airbender mixed with Fullmetal Alchemist and a dash of Cowboy Bebop.

Actually I'd say it owes more to Kung Fu Hustle than those last two.

[lissa_quon]

EXACTLY - this does remind me A LOT of King Fu Hustle. (Style wise - not crazy silly awesome looney tunes wise)

Though for me it is more the visuals and the feel but yea, now that you mention it I can see the music too.

[biod]

The way I would put it is Eastern Baccano. I agree that it is most awesome.

[big_daddy_d]

My only complaint about Steph's reunion with Dean...that beating didn't last longer.
