 See, I knew I wasn't the only one who misunderstood posts.

He was asking if anyone had seen the third episode because he hadn't seen it yet...

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Yeah, I got that....I was just making a point about not trying to find episodes before they air.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Believe me or don't but I wouldn't lie to you.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

I believe you. That was not a "you're lying"

That was a "Fine, fine, I retract my previous statement"

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Just watched the third episode....

~Spoilers~

I totally called it that the main villain would have the power to remove people's bending permanently.

[Vespert]

This spinoff seems promising.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 I thought you said no spoilers.

*Translation: Hey, you spoiled it before I got the chance to!*

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Na na na na na 

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 Hey...

[Vespert]

Doesn't it air at the same time all across the US?

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Technically yes...and technically no... It does but some areas receive it at a delayed time due to a delay in its broadcast.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

I technically get two showings of it on my TV. I'm not sure how that works for other providers, but that's how it goes for Comcast/Xfinity.

If the new villain is capable of energy bending, why didn't they add the lights like when Aang performed it? Also, I find it ironic that the anti-bending group has Energy Bending powers

I think Wulf will get his wish and Korra will learn how to give them their powers back with energy bending when she learns to utilize the spirit side of her powers.

I want to see more metal bending, but I find it odd that lighting bending seems to be common place now. With those two bendings being common now (No sign of blood bending) it seems likely that we will see new bendings revealed later.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

I think its actually some form of chi blocking...not energy bending. But still...

[Vespert]

Well Airbending is the only bending without a derived specialization. Like Firebending has lightning generation and redirection, Earthbending has metalbending and Waterbending has healing and bloodbending.

Is there a canon material where they name it Energybending? I always thought it was something some fans came up with.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

I think it was the lion turtle thing that called it energy bending.

[Vespert]

Hmm... Maybe. I had trouble understanding it and I thought it sounded metaphorical rather than "here, you just obtained a new power!"

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Yeah, I'm kinda skeptical to think that he's an energybender.

1) He doesn't come across as the spiritual type. I doubt the Lion Turtle (or any other spiritual user of Energybending) would teach him the secret of Energybending. It's just likely that, in his training as a chi blocker, he discovered the seat of bending powers, and knows how to exploit it to permanently negate bending powers.

2. Yes, if that happens, it will be awesome.

3. Branching out into other types of bending would also be awesome. Such as true Plantbending (being able to grow plants, change their species, make them grow/shoot thorns, etc, instead of Waterbending which can only move around plants that are already grown), Lightbending, Shadowbending, Soundbending, or something of that sort...even a return to, yes, Bloodbending, Sandbending, etc.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Every time I try to think which bending skill I would want I can never choose. I always rule out Air bending (I never liked it), but Fire, Earth and Water always tied in my mind.
