The Legend Of Korra Episode 12

[Nezz]

I figured someone would have uploaded this by now. Guess it's fitting that I caught the DID in ep 1, and finish off with Endgame. Anyway. Asami is briefly captured and jailed.











There's also a scene with Tenzin and his children, but I didn't really think that was worth capping.

thanks for the higher quality

Figured any number of people would be uploading it after it aired so I just put up the alert. Didn't catch that little bit of torso rope appeared on here in that final cap there. Wish that was there the whole time. I eagerly await season 2 for many reasons, DiD being one as this show teased quite a lot, but also delivered some great scenes.

They let Iroh keep his cravat. That was nice of them. I know, I know, but I can't look that that shot without giggling.

Is it me or this whole show was a damsel in distress-o-rama. I mean... it was like almost every episode someone got captured, or they got knocked out by someone lol.

FTFY
seriously speaking, the DiD scenes in this series were somewhat disappointing. Most of the lengthy scenes only featured guys.

I don't mind that guys get bound but it was a bit frustrating the only time someone gets gagged, it's dudes. I would have liked to see Korra gagged when she was put in the back of the van. And of course I was hoping Lin would be bound and gagged too after getting captured by Amon.

agreed, I think most people here feel the same way too, though I think part of the reason why it's only guys like that is because of the people that are pretty anti-DID minded, whereas no one fusses like that when it's a GID instead. it's kind of silly though since they already got tied, though in this show guys seemed to get it a lot more, or the girl was with guys like that, making it a CID, (I personally like CIDs myself, so no complaint there for me) guessing that probably makes it better for the people that would complain about a girl being DID'd

Well I guarantee that no thought goes into an episode about weather screen caps go up on a bondage site.
This show however delivered some very nice DiD. I'll admit I felt the frustration, because we had about 4 GIANT teases on Korra getting captured/ropped up or even a full treatment. But I think that is detracting from the very nice scenes we DiD get like her capture at the hands of Tarlokk and this lovely scene above. I also remember thinking at the beginning of the series that Jinora and Ikki had potential to get DiD'd but that thought subsided when they were largely pushed to the background. But lo and behold they got the only full treatment DiD scene of the season. XD

I look forward to more episodes, especially if Equalists remain antagonists. They are the most competent kidnapping ninjas ever put in a series. LOL

Well I certainly don't think they care about what the bondage crowd thinks, but I would not be surprised at all if the writers were aware of some of the negative connotations some people tend to have for heroines in bondage. Like I have to imagine they'd at least be conscious of some of the fetish fuel accusations that might come up should they writer a lengthy scene of Korra bound and gagged and struggling, or whatnot.

At the very least I know they made a very frank joke about bondage in an episode of Adventure Time, which is another show aimed at kids. And I've tended to notice that a lot of action cartoons that are aimed at kids rarely have the leads bound and gagged, like notice how in the entire 500 episodes of the show, I don't think any of the heroines from Sailor Moon ever got the full treatment, nor Kim Possible and so on. Totally Spies would be the obvious exception, of course.

I would agree, not so much that modern writers are worried about fetishes and being accused of sexual content, but that the typical "female heroine gets bound and gagged" scenario is considered passe' and not empowering to women and girls. You can see a marked drop of in that old cliche since the 80s (compare how many scenes characters like Black Canary had before and after the epoch). Adam Warren's Empowered plays the stereotype for laughs. In that comic he makes the point that when male heroes get bound they rarely get gagged, where it is more common for female ones, and are more often left to a more helpless damsel in distress role. I don't think it is a worry about bondage, just a current sensitivity to de-empowering female heroes.

Also, to an extent I think we tend to idealize the past and to exaggerate the amount of scenes there were in the past, since we can look back at decades of them all in one clump.
