Can we take a moment to appreciate J.K. Simmons and his incredible performance as Tenzin? Not only did such a big name actor keep coming back with each season renewal, but also delivered a passionate performance every time.

Only JK could play a relaxed monk and then play a Drill Sergeant jazz teacher and pull off both beautifully.

AU where Tenzin acts like Fletcher and Fletcher acts like Tenzin.

Tenzin: "Korra, if you don't start shitting me out perfect airbending, then I will gouge out your eyes and SKULL FUCK YOU!"

Fletcher: "Don't even worry that you're rushing, Neiman. Jazz is something you're supposed to feel inside of your spirit, not try to pull off with perfection."

That montage when Tenzin tries to convince airbenders to join the Air Nation by telling them about what they can look forward to was just genius. I could hear every line being said exactly the same way by Aang as a kid, e.g. "Your best friend will be a giant bison!". Just one of the many examples of how JK Simmons is such a great choice for Tenzin.

The biggest flaw of LoK is the short title sequence. It should've been longer so I could spend more time listening to Simmons' sexy voice.
