Q:What happened to you guys? You took down the site? I can't reach The Avatar Portal anymore.

We’re still here. We’re just having technical difficulties and are working very hard to fix it. Our chat, however, is still up and working.

Our apologies for this inconvenience. But unfortunately this is up to fate, and not to us. So please bear with us. We will be back.

Holiday Season coming up

With the holiday season coming up, and me being Jewish, I was wondering if there were any ATLA/LOK related Chanuka (Hannukah) pics out there. I’ve seen plenty of Christmass ones, but hardly any Chanuka ones.

So who knows of any? And perhaps if you’re an artist maybe you’d like to draw some to make your fellow ATLA/LOK fans happy during this years’ holiday season. :)

These are the ones I did find:

The Fox's Den: Amon is Dead, and Korra Killed Him

ikkinthekitsune:

…with a title like that, you’re probably going to want some explanation, aren’t you?

Let’s start with the initial premise: Noatak may have become Amon, but Amon is not Noatak. Amon is an identity constructed by Noatak that is essentially a different person — think Darth Vader and Anakin.

As…

General Fong’s Profound Wisdom


He might’ve been a douche but he was right after all. The ATLA/LOK history books will describe him as the Sun Tzu of their world.

“Just glow it up.” Were the words of wisdom of the legendary General Fong. At first, the young Avatar Aang and his brave companions refused to heed to Fong’s advise, but in the final battle against the tyrannical Firelord Ozai it was proven that the Avatar just had to ‘glow it up.’

Contrary to common belief, mastering of all four elements wasn’t a necessity. All the Avatar had to do was to get hit in the back by a sharp stone, in order to get into the Avatar State. To… ‘glow it up.’


Likewise we see about seventy years later in the annals of Avatar Korra. After the evil Amon had taken away people’s bending, including the Avatar’s, all she had to do was to ‘glow it up’ in order to set all things straight.

Now we see, and understand, the profound wisdom of General Fong The Wise.”

Sooo… how was LOK a kids’ show again?

So let us sum up what kind of kid-friendly things we’ve seen in LOK.

We’ve had:

  1. Children and adults alike are being tortured (bloodbended) by twisting (possibly) breaking their  limbs.
  2. Animals being tortured on screen, clearly showing the pain those animals suffered.
  3. Children being forced to torture (bloodbend) each other on screen.
  4. A father physically/violently abusing his children.
  5. Two of the main characters live on the street because, when they were just little kids, their parents were killed in front of their eyes.
  6. Another main character’s mother was killed by a firebender.
  7. Men dumping their girlfriends for others.
  8. A father trying to kill his own daughter for disagreeing with him and being on the ‘wrong’ side.
  9. Daughter actually fights back against her own father (even electrocuting him).
  10. Probably hundreds of people being killed when a fleet of battleships (of the ‘good guys’) is being destroyed (read: blown up).
  11. People’s bending being taken away in a rather ‘public execution-like’ manner.
  12. Parents AND children being targeted. 
  13. Someone who dedicated his whole life to his leader being killed on-screen by this very same person he was following so loyally, with the words, “You’ve served me well…”  clearly implying he just used him and was going to kill him.
  14. A suicide and murder on screen.
  15. Children running away from parents’ homes.

    EDIT:

  16. Alcoholism. One of the main characters who got drunk on screen (on… noodles!) even his pet got drunk.
  17. Violent kidnapping of teenage girls.


If you know of more LOK examples I’ll gladly add them to this list. So did I forget anything?
