How does water bender know what forklift is
How does bear know what apples is
How girl get pregante

It's upsetting in an uncanny valley sort of way. Of all the weird technology in the ATLA era, you can buy most of it due to veneers of the local cultural flavor, or else the tech is generic enough to slip by unnoticed
But this is just a forklift, with no facade of their specific world. Just a forklift. And it's maddening

Jonathan Clark
He already encountered it in a previous comic
Chase Brooks
No... this can't be real? Is it real??
Sebastian Hall
>mystical oriental culture is good
>nonsensical steampunk machinery is good
>a CATerpillar is maddening
I mean yeah, but also, I dunno. In some ways, the joke has done its job.
Nolan Miller
the steampunk nonsense is workable because it jives well with the world
the forklift doesn't. that might indeed be the joke but it still stands out so strongly because of it
Oliver Taylor

Nolan Baker
Yep.

yikes...
Also what the fuck would a water bender us a forklift for?

I wouldn't mind the forklift if it didn't look like a traced piece of crap straight out of the early 2000s. There were early forklifts that would have fit better with the hodge podge medieval / world war technological aesthetic the show had. Of course, this would not have remedied the massive story and character flaws.

to lift stuff up

Dear God
Christian Wilson
Is this real?
Camden Lee
yeah it'd be like having the the weird jetski things the fire nation had in atla be regular modern jetskis

All jokes aside that particular forklift would be an absolute fucking nightmare on any snow or ice.

Cue Sokka learning to drive.

Not gonna lie. I thought this was fetish art for a second.
Ryan Sanders
god the comics are garbage
Jacob Perry
It is to someone
Blake Cruz
This isn't a fancomic?
Wyatt Richardson
no
i recognize the art style it's the same guy that did Gwenpool and i hate it everyone looks the same

I'm not sure if context would make this better or worse.
Camden Gonzalez
Basically there is a major tech gap between AtLA and Korra (takes place like 70 years later). The artist and writer for that comic decided that 2 years should be plenty of enough time for tech to go from AtLA to LoK levels.
Gabriel Gomez
They aren't even trying at this point. I defended Steampunk Shanghai but fuck this.
Aaron Phillips
This is too silly.
Austin Williams
Reminder that the Fire Nation had what is essentially modern jet skis and cranes.
Jordan Young
I mean, the fire nation took a hot air balloon with no engine and turned it into an armada of gigantic, much more complex metal zeppelins in just a few months.
Nathan Moore
I like to imagine someone on-board is just genuinely enthusiastic about forklifts and can't help insert their own personal interests into the comic.
Ryder Ross
Theming the tech does wonders to make it not look out of place. Most people probably wouldn't had even noticed the forklift if instead of being bluntly random IRL forklift it had had oriental steampunk coating.
Oliver Stewart
And yet people got pissy when the previews for korra showed they had cars, radio and just electricity in general.
Aiden Bailey
The biggest problem with Korra was that instead of basing the setting on places like Shanghai, Hong Kong, or Tokyo during 1920s they went with New York but with oriental trappings.
Thomas Thomas
Yeah, but it was also often bender-operated.
Earth nation trains were literally Flintstones cars.
