Can I ask you a question that has to do with Suyin Beifong?

Sure. The only thing is that I'm not that up to date with TLoK or with all the avatar world anymore. Not mentioning I do not follow the comic.
Probably there is wiki or something with more info. But go ahead.

LoK Book Four AU Question: If Suyin had just helped to rebuild and restore the Earth Kingdom by only being an adviser to anyone who'll end up being the new leading person of the EK (by teaching the Earth Kingdom ruler on how to have EK citizens to fend for themselves against those who crave initial bloodshed and civil war,Β upgrade and modernize the kingdom and to find a way to keep things from going down hill like before once the ruler hands over his Β power to Wu),Β whatΒ would theΒ outcome be if that scenario happened?
π: 0 β©: 1
That's an interesting question.
The earth kingdom was ravaged by the war in first place but also by they own corruption and lately by they backward minded rulers (or by they secret police).
It's pretty much implied that Kuvira wasn't bad she just have the wrong perspective (to call it some way). So Kuvira was aware of the poor state of things andΒ just wanted to restore all the glory of the Earth Kingdom and she only started the war against Republic City because it was a former EK land. Baatar Jr. also mentioned that the plan of Kuvira was a vision shared by both so while they are still together they represent a threat to the peace of the world.
So considering that, I still believe that there will be a clash between Suyin and Kuvira, probably it could be a war and but certainly not a vine-nuke. I think if Suyin was the one to take care of the Earth Kingdom instead of Kuvira, the couple will eventually try to run a coup d'Γ©tat, try to kidnap Suyin and also Wu, and convince the Dai Li (the secret police) for support it.
Then try to brainwash Wu and stablish a puppet government, all under the nose of Suyin.
If anything this scenario will only delay things. But Kuvira will have less chances of success.

LoK Book Three AU Questions: If Suyin actually wanted Korra and her friends to not leave Zaofu and successfully convinced them not to, how would the events during LoK B3 play out in that scenario? Also, what would Lin's reaction(s) be to Suyin backing her up on enforcing her decision towards the teens?
π: 0 β©: 1
Well that's a hell of a question. I don't think it has an answer, but let's see.
I'm not a writer but it's important to understand the characters first.
Zaheer belong to the organization called the Red Lotus. The red lotus was an underground organization, born after the white lotus became public and changed its mission to protect the avatar. To the eyes of the red lotus that was unnecessary, the white lotus shouldn't be the "dog of the avatar". The idea of an entity tutoring the world was a mistake plus the decision of Wan to keep the worlds separated was a bad one and the Avatar should be eliminated because the avatar itself represented that separation. The red lotus also believed of a world without nations, the assassination of the Earth Queen was just part of that plan, they were planning to kill the President Raiko (The president of the United Republic of Nations) and by extension also Zuko and Izumi (the fire lord will be targets for assassination).
Zaheer as a leader was incredible. He is very smart, and also he can came up with planes very quick. He infiltrated the Airbernders to discover the location of Korra (when she was in Zaofu). He contacted the Earth Queen and killed her when he had the opportunity and was able to communicate the location of avatar with his physical body when he was in the spirit world. He was goddam good at improvising. Now that's important because when he sees the opportunity, he acts.
When Korra tried to track Zaheer, she was captured by the Queen forces. Because Zaheer knew that the Queen had Korra he baited the Queen to give her information of the Airbenders in exchange of the avatar, because have imprisoned the avatar could led to war.
I think that the first important point is that. As a consequence of Korra being captured, the queen was murdered. I don't remember exactly how Zaheer got an audience with the Queen. For me it could be just a hint that the red lotus has agents everywhere (Aiwei, the truth reader was an example of a red lotus agent).
If Korra stayed in Zaofu, exist the possibility that now she could assigned some kind of guard (imagine if Kuvira was assigned to her). But remember, she was there because they were recruiting Airbenders. The Airbenders were wiped out of the earth, the mission now was rebuild the nomad nation. To do that, Tenzin and Korra needed to head to the corners of the world. She could be kidnapped in ANY part of it, and with that attack they announced that they were after the Avatar.
So this will produce two things. One as I said, the avatar should be protected (she liked or not). And second the new Air nomads should be put in custody, so this will limit the possibility of action for the Red Lotus. The next thing to do for them it will be create chaos and confusion. I think that if they make a mess of enough proportions they will bring the avatar to their hands.
For the the next plan that will be either Kill Raiko (the president of the the Replublic of United nations) or kill Izumi (the fire lord). Because for the fire nation, the succession of the throne was secured (or Iiroh, or Zuko, or Izumi, or someone there were many people to take the throne really) the next big target was Raiko himself. They mentioned, after their plan to infiltrate the Air benders that the plan to kill him will be postponed (remember that when Kya discovered that Zaheer wasn't an Air apprentice, all the city police was in state of alert so the postponed the plan).
Now I think that kill Raiko is a BIG deal. Remember that the Republic of United Nations was created in the land that the fire nation stole from the Earth Kingdom, and instead of being returned it was agreed to create the new republic (because the people in there weren't from either nation anymore were a mixture). So if the red lotus managed to Assassinate the President (remember that before it was a council that governed the nation) so if the new authority is killed it could bring the nation in chaos. And also more importantly, could bring the Earth Kingdom in a position of advantage to take back their land bringing war.
After all that happened in the Unalaq matter, it is very likely that the water tribes could not support a war. The forces of the the Republic should be also very deployed, because of the equalists and also after fight Unalaq. So the war will be basically the two mayor forces of the Fire Nation defending the republic and the Earth kingdom fighting against. It will be interesting because Zaofu should choose a side, and likely it will be the republic side... but I don't think that everybody will agree.
I don't see the Earth Kingdom winning. But, Zaheer would be much much opportunities to kill Korra because it will be so hard to group all the forces that they did at the end of S3. If not killed, Korra could be completely and permanently disabled without the help of Suyin.
> Also, what would Lin's reaction(s) be to Suyin backing her up on enforcing her decision towards the teens?
For the last question, sorry I can't see to write a good situation at the moment.

Can I ask you another TLoK question (this time it's something that has to do with Unalaq, the uncle of Korra)?

Yup, sure. What is your question.

LoK Book Two AU Question: If Bolin and Mako were quicker in, not only coming into the Spirit World, but also distracting or fighting off Unalaq long enough for Korra to place Vaatu back into the Tree of Time, would things result in Korra beating up her uncle and making sure that the man will be imprisoned for his crimes?
π: 0 β©: 1
Well I've watched the 4 last episodes again and I don't think that I have a definitive answer. The book two is a difficult one and I think that it breaks with many premises of the series so... I try to not think it through much.
Ok. I think that I can give my feelings about. Korra was about to imprison Vaatu when Bolin and Mako were knocked unconscious by Desna and Eska, so Unalaq traveled the portal and prevented this from happen. Ok this is a difficult part because "spirits", spirits are basically a plot device and they appear and disappear as the plot needs them so IF Unalaq didn't prevent Korra who knows if the spirits didn't distract her or something.
If Vatuu was imprisoned then that would be all for him. Mako, Bolin and Korra could handle Unalaq easily enough. Now Assuming that Korra kept the portals open, and Unalaq was imprisoned then some things could happen.
One will be the airbenders rebirth, that seemed to be a consequence of the Convergence so IF the characters that awaken that power had some kind of affinity then those will the same once again, this means Zaheer and the red lotus will appear again. This is an interesting point because the red lotus wasn't a big threat to begin with, they were so few and represented a threat because they were a hidden and underground organization that could attack anywhere but if they worked with Unalaq they could have been a really serious threat.
For example, Unalaq could seize the Northern tribe power again, imprison Desna and Eska and the other nations could not do anything against because they were too reticent to have a fight between nations (Nobody helped the Southern tribe when Unalaq invaded).
The scenario then could be radically different, maybe An alliance Northern Tribe-Earth Kingdom could arise to get the Avatar, and reinstate the earth kingdom land (the The Republic of United Nations), but without the confrontation with Unavaatu the forces of Republic of United Nations wouldn't be so beaten while the Northern tribe force will be dim (remember that Bumi alone defeated a camp).
Also without Unavaatu releasing the vines in Republic City, the vines probably would never reach there. Also without Varrick, the vine beam wouldn't exist nor the modernization of the Earth kingdom.
It is unlikely that Zaheer and Unalaq would work together for much time though. Unalaq was a traitor that let Zaheer and the rest of the lotus to rot away in prison. They probably will try to kill each other. But they could work together because they shared a goal, so until they completed their goal they could work together.
Also if the Unalaq rises again in the Northern tribe, I imagine the Avatar more concerned in the tribe than in the Air nomads so attacks like Zaofu will be unlikely. Tenzin will try to get the air benders while Korra tries to reach peace. But the air benders could be so weak that they will be easily captured to lure Korra.
The spirits again it is a big question. I don't know if after the convergence the influence of Vaatu over the spirits will get weaker or if it simply won't disappear. The spirits are very strong entities, and will give Unalaq much power to infiltrate or attack (even he could retain the upper hand over Zaheer and the others) but you can assume that IF the spirits still work with Unalaq, and a big war starts between the Republic and the Northern tribe plus Earth Kingdom even with the help of the Avatar and the fire nation, the war could end quickly enough.
But I imagine they will try to kill Raiko first and use the chaos to seize the land, and try to capture and kill Korra. Start the war after the assassination will be the optimums time, and dispatch the Earth Queen will be very easy after that. If there is a moment to stop the collaboration will be at this point, with Zaheer and Unalaq trying to kill each other.
But, if the portals were left closed then I don't think that Unalaq will be useful to Zaheer. I think that the decision came to korra as a realization after the link to the other avatars was severed. So in that case with the portals closed, probably Unalaq would be left in prison. I don't think it will much different as the situation I talked before, when the queen wasn't killed.
I hope this wasn't much of a mess. Happy new year.

Can you answer me two questions that have to do with Lok Book One?

LoK Book One AU Questions: If Tenzin had changed his mind about letting Korra stay in Republic City, would Amon have a better chance at achieving his goals? If he does, would Tenzin see this as a reason and a time to train Korra in air bending?
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, I don't know really.
Amon was a so wonderful character, I think that it was a shame the way he died but I have a problem (a problem with the LoK in general) the plot conveniences. I have a too strong opinion on how it ended because the build up was so amazing. But then you have Korra at the edge of the cliff (implying a suicide) and then Aang just fixed everything (not mentioning that Korra was airbending as a master in matter of frames not just seconds).
The goals of Amon were incredible, and to some extend was the villain which I related most so it would be "KINDA" interesting to see what would happened if he succeed.
Things to I must to say about the episodes (I didn't re watch all the series just the last 4 episodes to remember). One point I LOVE is the dynamics Korra-Tenzin. They are sooooo similar to each other. Korra was the chosen child, she was so bright and also so proud of herself (to the extent to be the PrideΒ as a sin) but she needed so much the approval of the others in special of her mentor and yet behind of all her pride she hides her insecurity. She is WELL aware that she is not the Avatar that all the poeple hope (or at least she thinks so) and she knows she is not match for Amon in a one-to-one fight.
In the other hand Tenzin is a burdened one person. The "only" one that must to carry the weight of being the last one, and above all the mentor of the avatar. I'm so sure he loves Korra more than a teacher, more than a friend, more like a father. For me the times he seem to "neglect" her sometimes feels like Tenzin just tries so hard to hide himself of his duty to mentor the Avatar so he uses the excuse of his role of the leader of Republic City. I remember so fondly after he forbids Korra to assist to the Arena, but later he was so proud of her, in the end he simply doesn't know how to teach her. He needs to learn the exact distance between the master, the guidance and the friend she needs in him.
I remember all the times he couldn't find the patience to teach her, first air bending but also later (and specially later) the spiritual guidance he SOMEHOW should teach to Korra. Yeah only because he was the son of Aang, and an Air bender... but it was implied that Aang was a distant father, and Tenzin learned all the Air bender culture only because he is a nerd. The time he confronted Aang in the fog of the lost ones remark that point, he was a self made man (dull in some aspects perhaps) but that was why he could find himself because he realized who he is, what he represents, what is his role and what he needs to do. When he learned that he needs to be the brother, the fater, not the teacher but the guide he escaped.
So backtracking a little they are so similar, both confront daunting tasks and both success and failures are so tied to each others fate. They succeed every time they trust each other, and the series nails every moment so right.
For me is important that, if you see every time that Tenzin feels that Korra fails (or he fails to teach Korra properly) a distance is drawn. Either Korra leaves or Tenzin does, but every time that Tenzin recognizes that Korra succeeds (or every time that korra succeeds, and is Tenzin to appreciate the fatc) the the gap is closed (either fiscally or emotionally).
The other aspect is HOW similar are the bending arts (and I love this part so much about TLoK). Tenzin fighting the mechas, and avoiding the attacks that came from behind is SO similar to Amon in the last fight (with Korra and Mako) and so similar to the "shaved" sensing head (the fight the Airbenders have with the poachers in the book 3). Amon moves like an Airbender sometimes.
Well, sorry for being a fan boy to the question. If Tenzin had changed his mind about letting Korra stay in Republic City, would Amon have a better chance at achieving his goals? It is impossible to know for sure. Given the dynamics of the Relation master/apprentice I believe that if Tenzin trusted more in Korra I feel Korra should be more cautious in return... that might offset some of the risky behavior Korra took... and probably would make hard-ish for Amon to exploit that. However equalists harnessed an army out of the pocket of Asami's father in a way it was just too convenient specially considering that the chi blockers were already a formidable force to begin with, so I cannot think many more scenarios. They made all the damage they wanted to do for the time they wanted to do because... reasons... and they disappeared because reasons -.-
If something, I believe that Amon didn't capture Korra before because he didn't want to (and because if used all his strength he could expose himself).
I believe that Tenzin didn't gave Korra more time because HE WAS AFRAID TO LET THE WORLD DOWN. He used his job as an excuse, simply as that. He didn't believe in himself to be capable to properly teach her (or remain cool, or to not show how horrible person he is when mad). Also what's more important to protect than the avatar and take her to the corner of the world, or properly train her.
And I know very well that Tenzin was aware of the power of Amon when he first unbend the Triads, and later again when Tarrlok was unbend.
So that's my answer.
I hope you are satisfied or, I don't know, if you want me to expand in a point we can discuss it.
