The legend of korra season 2 episode 6 dailymotion

Varrick is by far the greatest asset of Book 2.

John Michael Higgins turned the character into an eccentric straight out of Best in Show and it pays off when Varrick spins around in a chair like a true villain and sports the grin of the devil incarnate. You donвЂ™t say! But hand it to the Korra crew: VarrickвЂ™s reveal as a mastermind is deliciously evil. More likely than a revival of the Mako/Asami romance is an apology for Korra - if the two meet up anytime soon.ДЄfter spinning in circles for a handful of episodes, it finally dawns on Mako that Varrick, the slimiest business magnate in the four nations, might be the Lord of War stoking the civil war fire. Clearly, these people havenвЂ™t been part of a high school group of friends who all hooked up with messy, emotional results. Fans are worried that Asami laying one on Mako is the beginning of another groan-worthy love triangle. Mako does his best to comfort her, in that awkward way ex-boyfriends do, flooding Asami with memories. Plot contrivances be damned - Legend of Korra is still something to behold, even when production value works against it.ДЄn inevitable discovery and an Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade boat chase wake Mako and Asami up to the fact that theyвЂ™ve once again been duped, their sting all a guise for another massive pilfering of the heiressвЂ™ tank shipment. But atmosphere returns under the eye of director Ian Graham, who uses angles and lighting to turn MakoвЂ™s investigation into something out of The Third Man. The designs are bubblier, thereвЂ™s less articulation when characters interact, and the hyper-detail of the backdrops flattened out. ThereвЂ™s no question that the animation in Book 2, executed by a different studio, is a step down from Book 1. TheyвЂ™re a dangerous bunch (Scorsese would be proud) that bring along a gallon of mood. Who can resist? Mako turns to his old gang, the Triple Threats, to help him pull of the episodeвЂ™s titular operation. Heroes turning to villains for help never makes sense - вЂњWeвЂ™ve been double-crossed!вЂќ No kidding - but itвЂ™s also a time-honored trope of crime fiction that incites instant friction. Even though heвЂ™s staring them right in the face. With motivation to catch a grand conspirator and plenty of baggage in hand, Mako and Asami go outside the law to catch their culprit red-handed. SheвЂ™s wading up poop creek too her big opportunity to revive Future Industries, a conglomerate filling the void where her incarcerated father and dead mother once stood, failed when pirates seized VarrickвЂ™s cargo ship Captain Phillips-style. In need of an ally - and desperate for anything to take breaking up with Korra off his mind - Mako turns to Asami, his ex.

But the sharp Lin Beifong wonвЂ™t hear it - her mustachioed lead detectives say itвЂ™s an open and shut case. This was painfully clear last episode вЂ¦ and the episode before. The pro-bender turned cop is still chasing his lead from вЂњPeacekeepers вЂќ While no one will listen, all the evidence suggests water benders from the Northern Water Tribe are being framed for the bombing of a Southern Water Tribe cultural center. Writer Joshua Hamilton shifts the spotlight to Mako, the showвЂ™s entry point to the seedy underworld of Republic City, for a contemporary crime story that riffs on everything from film noir to the oeuvre of Martin Scorsese to S tarsky & Hutch. Still entertaining, sporadically fulfilling.ДЄfter being consumed in the middle of the ocean by an aquatic dark spirit, Korra is all but written out of вЂњThe StingвЂќ - a bold and welcome mood. With the audience five steps ahead of the political terrorism whodunnit and characters blind to every red herring, Book 2 is entering its Killing season one phase.
