Loved how in the end this was somehow connected to Aang, and a "sins of the father" kinda thing. Korra so far has more mature themes which I also appreciate, and I like the fact that Korra is a completely different person from Aang. I will say though I hope she gets to put in more work in future seasons, as FIRE as the combat sequences were I feel like she got folded the majority of the season lol. On to Book 2!

The double suicide was crazy, I love that scene. The way amon knew he was bout to die with his bro and accepted it gives me chills.

Ohais
>>65525160

The issue with that is. Amon was a dark skinned kid who grew up in the frozen pole and moved closer to Republic city in the Earth Kingdom, closer to the equator

Tibbers

Am I crazy for thinking this? I think Amon didn't just put make up on every morning, but instead when Korra called him by his real name, he realized she talked to Tarlok and busted open his lip with his teeth, bended the blood onto his face to make it look like a scar, and then revealed it, that's also why his lip was all damaged like that. Might be a long stretch but I'm putting this out here

Tibbers
>>42154632

tbh I don't like plot holes, doesn't matter which show it is, the Lion turtle was forshadowed but its abilities were not, it could have been handled a lot better, but here it just seemed like the good guys are untouchable, ofc later on it gets better, but in the first 2 seasons they keep creating new random superpowers to make everything work out in the end, if this show was directed by studio mappa it would win endless awards, it has nothing to do with Korra and her personality, it's the directors' fault if so many people have so many bad things to say about this series.

Dak Man

That boi wanted him to finish him off so bad he used the hard R LMAO 14:36 lol

Kevin Kovacs

Oh boy... Book 2 huh? I don't want to rewatch it at all.. but I want to see their reaction to some of the things that us views don't really enjoyed 😅

Waiting room for 7,8 ep:D

This episode is "Remember that time Nickelodeon put a murder-suicide in their kids show?"

I’ve recently rewatched Book 2 with different reactors and tbh it’s not as bad as I remembered. Still the weakest season, in my opinion, but it wasn’t as horrible or unwatchable as I remembered, especially not the second half

"I hope she gets to put in more work in future seasons, as FIRE as the combat sequences were I feel like she got folded the majority of the season" lol

Don’t let people sway you on book 2. Form your own opinions. People over exaggerate that it’s bad.

DANIEL PEEDAH
>>39514860

I mean.... it’s the worst season of avatar, including both Korra and Aang, and worse by a long shot, can’t fault people for hating it

Anonymous

I honestly can’t wait for book 2 like it’s really not that bad that y’all make it out be and I like how I’m korra they make like yea I’m the avatar but it doesn’t mean I’m unstoppable and can win every fight like aang wasn’t winning every fight to

matthew perry

Book 2 is....eh. The weakest of the books, but book 3 and 4 are tight as hell.

Devin B

Now I'm kinda interested in how they react to Book 2. I can see them liking certain parts but as a whole its kinda the weak link in this series. Book 3 is my favorite of this series and its only cause of the villain.

Justin Baker

I mean amon is probably the most powerful bender besides the avatar that has existed in that universe, so it would be pretty crazy for a 17 year old Korra with no airbending, or avatar state to beat him. Also in the scene just before aang shows up, I'm pretty sure its confirmed that korra was ready to commit suicide. Her tear dropping off the cliff to symbolize. Given how dark this show can get, and the fact that tarlock just did it, it's pretty conceivable. Cant wait for season 2. I'd say season 2 is largely a lore season, with some good fight scenes, and epic moments. But you really get an understanding of what the avatar is, and how they're the bridge between the spirit world.

Kurumi

Korra gets folded 90% of this series lmao don't worry its not just you

Jonathan Jackson

the only issue I had with this season was the romance plot. Everything else was pretty great.

William Abbott

Let's speed run these next seasons I hope vimeo gets their act together.

Kurumi

i think Season 3 was the last straw lmao that shit was wild

lol yeah thats not gonna happen, just got word other reaction channels are being hit with the same thing from Vimeo

Cody Braim

I'm gonna be real with you guys, this arc is probably the high point of the series. The rest of it isn't trash by any means, but a lot of people agree the next couple arcs aren't as good.

Anonymous
>>39514860

exactly. every season of korra had the intention of being ended there, so the overall direction of the series as it goes on is why people always put this show down.

Literally book 3 is the best season according to everyone so you be trippin

Book 2 isn't all that, butttt beginnings... if you know u know.

Oh boy yeah book 2 listen if you guys can get through the first 6 episodes, the rest of book 2 is actually pretty damn cool but nevertheless see y'all there!

Belt Cedd

Book 2 isn't 100% bad. It has some really interesting stuff towards the later half so if you can make it past the first couple episodes you'll enjoy it.

Tankakawade

Season 2 is my least favorite. Season 3 and 4 however, are top tier if you ask me

Daniel Robb
>>39514615

Definitely not unwatchable, but also not the best, and that's okay.

Lurkingposter
>>39517633

When you actually think about it season 1 its only average. Alot of potential was left on the table for both the main protagonist, antagonist and the core conflict. Season 3 is the best season of Korra and arguably the best season of Avatar. The villain dethroned Azula as best Avatar villian for me and that's saying something since I stan her.

Shawol930

I know book 2 gets a lot of hate but I don't mind it! We meet some really great characters and the first half is really good. I'll admit though that I'm not a fan of the end of book two. However, books 3 and 4 more than make up for it. I feel bad that Mike and Bryan were hit with so many mixed messages about how many seasons they had. If that weren't the case, I don't think we would have the issues like we did with book 2.

Kevin Kovacs
>>39515351

that's okay she is not "unstoppable" but I like Korra just what they did with her character in season 2-4 is not great because they could give her some W in the seasons when she fights.. and not L for most of the time. That's all :)

Kreative
>>39510776

IDK about them people. I liked Book 2 🤷🏾‍♂️ (Book 3 the best though).

Anonymous
>>39514860

IMHO korra had 3 S tier seasons and season 2 wasn’t even that bad, ATLA had 2 S tier and i often compare ATLAs 1st season to korras 2nd (we all know ATLA 1st was nothing special and definitely not what hooked us into it (besides a few amazing episodes))

Devin B
>>39515518

@Lurkingposter Book 3 as a whole is definitely lit but I personally put it above the other books because of the villain

RiaDara
>>39519479

I think the thing with Season 2 Korra is that the show could have done a better job to show the causes of her motivation to do the things she was doing. But, you right fam, if you know, you DO know.

Im going to wait 6 episodes now ;)

I literally cannot wait until season 3. Book 2 is okay but not the strongest season. Book 3 is my favorite and I can’t wait for them to react to it

Infierno23

I dont get people. Would you rather they dont like it before watching so you can just cj about how shit it is? Or would you rather they experience it fresh and enjoy their reactions? This is a reaction channel after all but that just me.

Like they are gonna watch it regardless so you venting about how you dont like it is to satisfy yourself.

To this day I don’t know how they convinced Nickelodeon to killed tarlok and noatok on screen. Definitely one of the darkest moments in the series lmao

Korra won all the battles in the end of each season so saying she gets beat is not true and if she does she gets back up and keeps fighting that’s all that matter if she was just op and beating people all the time it would be boring

Devin B

I mean to be fair I wouldn't count the fight with Amon as a win only cause he chose to leave the battle after he got exposed and she only got a couple of hits in. If he chose to keep fighting he definitely would have won.

LK
>>39514154

But it was off-screen. BUUT both series are dark

TheToweringOtakunt

Halfway through: "Nickelodeon is making sure we see all these people aren't dying... Man, you can't have death in Nickelodeon!" Boat scene: "NICKELODEON!" See, what all those survivors were this whole time was them saving up corpse points so they could turn them in for a prize.

>>39524518

good for you, the rest of us will be here actually enjoying ourselves watching book 2 with the squad

Mo

I agree with you about Korra. I wanted her to actually do something instead of just getting folded constantly. I like that she connected with her spiritual side, but I wanted more from her...idk.

Ally
>>39519495

Bruh what the first half is the better part did you see what this bitch did 😭

Chai Tea

Every season of this show is great. Obviously some seasons are stronger than other. Let these guys form their own opinions and enjoy the reactions...

Anthony

The waterbending fight scenes in book 2 are absolutely incredible

Shaw

LMAO Bolin looking at Lyn bending at full power like " DAYUUUUUUUUUM"

StrawHat

season 1 korra was actually my favv but the only thing I don't like is how she's always bailed out by others. ik that even the avatar cant do everything but she should be able to do somethings on her own at least

Abraham

Korra was about to comit suicide before Aang appeared because she felt useless as an Avatar with no bending so she wanted to comit suicide so the next avatar will be reborn with just all four bending..

Yuuki
>>39517633

I wouldn't necessarily go that far, but I do agree as far as book 2 is concerned. In my opinion, save for 2 episodes (which are also disputed on whether they're actually any good or not), the entire season is an absolute pain to watch through, and is perhaps the weakest of the entire 7 seasons of the Avatar series overall.

Skurp
>>39536005

bro how do you know that? she just looked sad as hell, i didnt get any indication of suicidal thoughts from her

Lurkingposter
>>39536005

Yeah, that was implied by her looking down over the cliff. Its super subtle. Too subtle to be honest. I don't even know if it was confirmed by the creators.

Champion Bescos

Ugh. Korra can’t get her bending back so she rejects the guy she’s been chasing all season. Understandable; when we feel low and worthless, we can’t burden someone with our love because in our minds they deserve better than us. That’s a decent scene. Unfortunately the scene after ruins it. So conveniently she gets everything back after a quick cry, and suddenly she’s able to return his affections? She bore the consequences (losing her bending) of charging Amon head first (foolishness) for what, a day or so? Then everything comes together for her; she can airbend now, she regained her other elements, she activated the avatar state, she had her boyfriend, and the respect of Republic City. But... did she do any more or less than the other characters? Did she earn any of that? That scene is the complete opposite of the brothers’ emotional, dark, and unique murder-suicide just moments before. Korra has such peaks and, often with the romance, such lows. It’s good as a fan to acknowledge both.

Anonymous

You are going to love the following seasons. :D

Mio

season 2 finna be the bomb just yall wait

Narutofreak94

I love the variation of the personality between Korra and Aang. They're different in certain ways and the same in others and I always felt like it was fitting. You will love what's about to unfold in these upcoming seasons.

Ariegch
>>39528754

To be fair only avatar state could beat Amon. Even Yakon only got taken down because of Avatar state. It wasn't about being very skilled, or a good fighter; perfect blood bending at all times cannot loose on a 1 v 1

Cody Braim
>>39517633

Definitely disagree with that, but I don't want to get into spoilers. Been a while since I've seen it so maybe I'll come around on it this time.

David

The weakest part of the entire series, Mako. His character is such a piece of shit and selfish deep down lmao His character causes conflict and holds others back with his fuckboy shit

BubbleTea

This ending for season 1 felt rushed and convenient when Korra suddenly got her bending back and finally gets with Mako. But then I remember there initially wasn't a plan for a season 2, so makes sense they tried to end it like that.

Ryu_zm

Yo Nickelodeon with that hard murder suicide

R3APER
>>39528754

A bloodbender without an extra agenda where they have to keep people alive could just go on a rampage snapping necks or tossing people to their death. Or completely stop the flow of blood or reverse it (both of which would lead to death within just a few moments)

R3APER
>>39545721

If the romance situations werent forced so strong in the show he wouldve been a better character.

R3APER
>>39546128

One more episode wouldve given enough time for her to attempt to spirituality fix her abilities herself before Aang steps in.

godUsoland

@YaBoyRoshi If you noticed, throughout season 1 there were statues of Aang, Zuko, Toph, and Sokka. Poor Katara didn't get a statue. ;)

AK Jay

A master waterbender chooses to make a water tornado in front of his followers to prevent drowning, then she’s still able to airbend which was retarded, then Aang gives her control of the avatar state and energy bending. Tarrlok’s ending is one of the best things to come from this show.

Carlos

Season 2 legitimately has two of my favorite episodes in the whole Avatar franchise. Can't wait for you all to see them.

Chuzo
>>39551941

Bro Amon most likely was full of adrenaline at that moment It’s logical that he wasn’t thinking and did the first thing that came to mind that could save him from the fall

Viela Guay

Well, not gonna lie that was pretty damn anti-climatic. Just "oh by the way everything's great and isn't it nice that the only meaningful damage done to any of the characters is perfectly reversible now." Also if it wasn't for the comments I'd assume amon and the other guy were fine since people in avatar survive point blank explosions every 5 minutes

Viela Guay
>>39560131

Like the fact that mako was able to put up any resistance of moving arms to even do lightning bending at all was pretty bs considering the fact that we'd seen blood bending here be able to stop entire court rooms of master benders from doing the slightest thing, and that the sun was setting so fire bending would be getting weaker while water bending stronger. Season definitely had some parts I enjoyed, but this conclusion felt really off to me.

Brady

Just became a patron; now it is time to binge all of your guys' ATLA reactions and catch up on these Korra reactions. Book 2 isn't the best but has some great/important moments, and what follows Book 2 is my favorite book across both series.

AK Jay
>>39551941

It’s just weird to me, he was cold and calculated throughout the whole season (he didn’t even flinch when Korra shot fire at him in episode 6)

Anonymous
>>39541156

In the defense of the writers Nickelodeon initially only cleared them for the first season s it is easy to understand why the series finale ended up the way it did.

godUsoland

spoilers. Please edit

Laxus Poldesh
>>39560131

Creators of Korra did not know that they were going to get more than 1 season of Korra, so that is one reason why the story feels self-contained. If they had known that they were going to get more than 1 season the story probably would have been way different.

Yuion
>>39560131

"oh by the way everything's great and isn't it nice that the only meaningful damage done to any of the characters is perfectly reversible now" ... what? Dont they do this basically EVERYWHERE in EVERY MEDIA? INCLUDING Aang?

Nikki C

I'm a fan of LoK, but I think the biggest problem with it was the way they kept messing with the production. It was originally going to be only 1 season - 12 episodes. Then when the show was doing well, they decided to extend it. And there's production problems like this that affected the series throughout its lifetime, but it still is an enjoyable show imo. But if the team knew from the beginning they'd be creating 4 seasons of content, I think LoK could have been an experience on par with AtLA.

Shawn Nguyen

this is EXACTLY what Roku warned Aang about, he didn't fold Yakone and it backfired.

logan
>>39566031

Yeah but sometimes Roku be talking out his ass to aang

logan

the ending with the teardrop hitting the ground shows how close korra came to jumping off because she knows the world needs the avatar who can bend 4 elements and if she killed herself the avatar would be renewed. Thats also why she was trying to not talk to mako because she didnt want mako to tell her that he is in love her.

logan
>>39514860

avatar first season was fire wtf are u talking about

David
>>39545721

I agree, it's forced but also if you think back when you're a teenager and such, romances seem kinda forced. Like they happen so fast for no apparent reason other than hoping to get laid, I think it kinda works for their age group. I think he's just a crap character lmao Can't blame him being from the city because Bolin is also "dumb" but he isn't a piece of shit.

David
>>39551941

Yeah wasn't a fan of him basically outing himself, but maybe he felt anxiety due to the fact that she knew him and his past. Still felt out of place. I read that she was able to airbend because she previously didn't have knowledge of airbending. His blood bending locked up all the bending she knew. She happened to airbend by luck/reaction and learned from that feeling.

Anonymous

Why does amon being a waterbender end the equalists? Shouldn't they be more mad they were lied to by a bender?

Hbitz

they hit the whole plot with flex tape for next season

BreadMan

Sheeras the goat

RM

The lieutenant (electric sticks guy) actually is confirmed dead by the creators. Amon crushed his inner organs while bloodbending. Terrible fate really

RM

Also, I read a comment somewhere, probably YouTube, but at the end when you see Korra standing over the ice ledge, it’s made an assumption that Korra was thinking about jumping, ultimately thinking about suicide. Really dark to think about but considering she no longer had the other elements except air, and to be in her position where she can’t complete tasks of being the avatar because of that, it kinda makes sense. The new avatar would just be reborn, with the elements connected back to he/she. I guess that’s why Aang also said, “When we hit our lowest point, we are open to the greatest change.” Glad Korra was able to get her bending back in the end :)

Hoodlum JoeBro

Book 2 is good, but it’s a very divisive season among Korra and ATLA fans. I personally enjoyed it. Especially the battles, it’s amazing.

Justin Baker
>>39571154

Amon was 100% the force behind the equalists. Without the power to take bending, thay are just terroristic chi blockers, who would lose most of the time to any powerful bender. We saw the gang get much better at fighting them later in the season. And they definitely wouldnt support amon after that, so equalists are done.

Shamar
>>39514860

Avatar first second and third season was fire

Davon Thomas

And now we move onto arguably the worst season of the franchise. But it does have its moments of amazement but not compared to the other 3 seasons

Champion Bescos
>>39560131

@Yuion, no. The effects of Season Two lingered for a while, leaving scars, political upheavals, etc. as just a quick example off the top of my head. Consequences were fewer with Aang, but they stuck long enough to have an impact.

InnerCityIndigo

Ehhhh. Just a lot of rushed themes. Condensing a season into 12 episodes is kind of bad compared to the 20 in the original first season. ATLA was kind of rushed in some individual episodes but the overall plot was very well paced.

InnerCityIndigo
>>39602212

Iroh had some nice scenes but was still kind of forgettable. Don't know how Tenzin's family was captured, don't know how Korra was able to air bend out of the blood bending state, don't know why seeing Mako about to get his bending taken unlocked spirituality, felt the suicide/homicide was super over-dramatic and seemed like a lazy way to end an arc, etc. Just an overall inferior show, but to be fair ATLA set the bar high af.

Anthony
>>39545721

Honestly Deku isn’t much better than he is, at least mako isn’t an annoying protagonist

Sting Eucliffe
>>39567749

She felt as though she was a horrible avatar. She was going to kill herself so a new, better avatar could be born. However if that did happen, then Book 2 wouldn't have happened and the Evil Avatar would've had control over the world.

Not really. Nickelodeon fucked them over so they did their best. And the "flex tape" goes away after episode 6.

Davon Thomas
>>39551941

Well it was revealed that he was manipulating the benders to miss when they attacked him with slight blood bending so he always had the upper hand. It's different when you get slapped into the ocean and start drowning and panic and first thing you do is instinctively create a way to get up quickly

Davon Thomas
>>39533004

Crazy how that's just a running theme for her in every season. Lol I dont think she has a good track record of wins.

Davon Thomas
>>39528754

Shouldnt take until the final episode for her to seem formidable. She loses pretty much every fight up until that point lol. That isn't ideal to say well "she may lose alot but she does win in the finale" uh yeah the main character generally wins in the end it's generic story telling. Aang literally won a majority of the fights throughout the show and people were aware he wasnt unstoppable but still formidable. Korra slowly because washed by the main villian throughout every season until the final episode.

Mo
>>39533004

SPOILERS: Yeah that's a part of the series that bothers me. I don't need her to win every fight but man all the L's she takes is just frustrating.

Mo
>>39566031

We all know that Aang is a different type of Avatar though. I respect the fact that he doesn't just kill people. He's not responsible for Yakone's future actions. He already took his bending.

AK Jay
>>39551941

Nah it’s just bad writing on their part. For example, Mako bending lightning while in Amon’s grip. Masters like Ozai and Iroh couldn’t even shoot lightning without going through the movements. Korra being able to fight his grip to kick him out the window is BS, even Aang and Toph couldn’t fight it when Yakone was also controlling dozens of other people. He had to go into the avatar state to fight it, then they have Korra fighting the grip 1 on 1 against Amon. They needed someway for Amon to get exposed and that’s how they did it, that’s like Azula getting tossed into a burning house and freaking out

Carlos

Nickelodeon: "Hold this murder/suicide right quick."

Brady
>>39602212

Try not to compare the shows so much and you’ll learn to appreciate Korra more. Also, I don’t think it was a lazy way to end the arc, and I’m not sure how it felt over-dramatic to you. Though if you’re going to compare series, what did you think of the Deus Ex Machinas in B3 of ATLA? (Lion Turtles/Energy bending, Aang conveniently hitting his injured back on a pointy rock to unlock the final chakra and the avatar state)

I definitely agree. They did the best they could with what they had, and even then the series is still really good. If it were anything other than an Avatar sequel people would love it, but ATLA is a tough act to follow.

John

I'm not gonna lie something felt off about this whole season I do have a few complaints.. It felt super rushed for one, the mako and Korra stuff wow he just cheat on asami lol I mean Korra is real cute and avatar and looks kindve like a muscular built katara one of my fetish for anime girl but moving on... It felt like they were wrapping up the entire show for 1 season but then they have 3 more seasons ahead. The damn Naga polar bear dog whatever has the biggest plot armor ive ever seen lmao it will randomly pop up anywhere they're in trouble even in a prison throughout the whole season its just very unrealistic. You telling me all those non ty lee genders were in there and they didn't try to jump the avatar and mako alone? The dude with the electric staff you telling me he died but Amon struggle to kill Korra and Mako for like 10 minutes? Not to mention that epic but bs lightning attack he did with no movement so that's an obvious retcon for the series.. Wind element is the strongest hands down don't know how Korra powered through Amon blood bending another plothole. Also was not expecting Amon to die like that at all.. Was sad with the tear in his eye to because he knew he was about to die and had nothing left but like that seriously.. Its just as bad as the dude that betray him just because he found out he was a blood bender.. Somehow he decide to attack Amon for no apparent reason when he made it that far in. And the avatar bs with Korra knowing how to return powers is just the icing on the cake season was about 6/10 tbh but meh I still fairly enjoyed.

John
>>39602212

The point is there was asspulls throughout this whole season finale and rushed elements and retcons.

John

Yeah this whole finale was bs and they probably acting like its the best thing in the world in the reaction

Unique
>>40849261

That's because they were originally only supposed to do one season. Nickelodeon did not order book 2 (they didn't think the show would be popular for some odd reason) until AFTER the production of book 1 which explains why each LOK book is so distinct from one other. Book 3 and 4 were the only seasons that were ordered together so they had some time to draw some connections.

MacarooniR0b
>>40849261

I think the creators shared that Nickelodeon said people wouldn't like it, because the protagonist is a girl. The show was given the short stick partly cause the people who reluctantly green-lit​ it were high key sexist

Anonymous

Honestly the deaths of Tarlokk and Amon is probably one of the heaviest hitting scenes in the entire series for me, even including ATLA. I don't know why but I think it's probably cause it's the most real hitting episode of someone ACTUALLY dying on screen, and two major characters at that. Plus it's a sad/heartfelt death scene. Before that, Avatar always kinda beat around the bush about people dying. The only on screen "death" was Admiral Zhao after the ocean spirit took him under. Jet's death was never confirmed, and even the Ember Island Players episode poked fun at it not being clear whether he lived or died. But I think that scene is when it finally hits that Korra is made for an older audience. Later on, death becomes more common, but I won't spoil anything. I know a lot of people don't like Korra compared to AtLA, but the more mature themes and adult tone to it make it feel like a different series entirely and helps me not judge it as harshly by comparing it to the first series.

everyone picks on every little thing in Korra but doesn't dare criticize anything in ATLA, I do like ATLA more but i dont like the double standards regardless

No explanation for aangs spirit bending either. It’s hilarious how people think ATLA is perfect and think that Korra is bad

It's hard not to compare them when Korra is a sequel to Atla. Every sequel is compared to its predecessor, and it's hard not to when they show so many connections to the old characters.

Hell, it honestly makes more sense here. We know the Avatar State allows you to tap into the abilities of all the past lives, and Aang was able to Energybend. Notice she has to go into the Avatar State to restore peoples' bending. But until Avatar Wan, we had no clue wtf was up with the Lion Turtle granting that power to Aang in the first place.

Think Korra was contemplating suicide at the very end before aang came in as the lowest point in someones life is ending it.

LOL Sheera is not wronggg about the guys saying 'I love you' at the worst times

There’s actually a theory of why aang showed up at the end. Basically when Korra was at the cliff, she was about to commit suicide. The whole point of the avatar state is to protect the avatar’s life and that’s when she went into the avatar state. When Korra was about to take her life.

I told myself I wasn't gonna sit and watch y'all react to this whole series, but here I am finishing all of book 1 in one evening 😂😂

That is one of the biggest issues in the series. Korra great as Korra but she's not showing avatar level drip and spirit. She keeps getting folded no matter how badass she seems at first glance. 1st episode Aang was dripping all over the place with just air mastery. She's got water, earth, just got certified in fired and she's STILL GETTING FOLDED WITH ZERO SPIRITUALITY!!!

to be fair, it's more realistic that way. let's not pretend there wasn't loads of plot armor in ATLA that allowed a group of kids to fold grown ass warriors. Korra is still a teenager fighting grown ass men who have tons more experience than her. It adds real stakes to the conflict knowing that she's not invincible, which is what she believed at the start of the series.

Naga just out here, droppin bodies!

"You can't die on Nickelodeon" and all I can think about is Book 3, Episode 12 lol

Honestly, the only thing that ticked me off was that she learnt air by powering through. Basically that's the way you learn earth, but air is the complete opposite. She shouldn't learn air tying to beat up a guy. Air is the element of evasion not confrontation#

There was alot of heavy themes here. I think the show was hinting that Korra was feeling suicidal when she was so close to that edge of the cliff.

yeah even as a kid watching ATLA as it was airing i could tell the Lion Turtle felt shoehorned

Imagine how Katara must feel seeing the reincarnation of her past love tapping into her spiritual self, getting her bending back, and giving everyone else their bending back.

It’s pretty wild to me how incredibly off they were with this show, especially considering Sheera’s prodigious plot-guessing abilities. From thinking Asami is playing the long con, to thinking Korra has the avatar state like Aang already did, and even thinking Amon wouldn’t be able to take her bending. I know I’m late, but this bodes well for the rest of these reactions. I’ve been waiting to see you guys be blindsided by some shit for a hot minute lol I mean... Jojo’s excluded. I don’t think anyone could guess that shit lmao

Aang was finally able to pass his energy bending to Korra.

The creators actually confirmed that that was the case.

I like how they never explained Amon's skin color change, I think we all just assumed he had plastic surgery like his father lol.

Well to be fair asami’s character was gonna be a traitor until the writers changed their minds and decided to keep her good 🤷🏻‍♀️

Outside of season 1, she never lost a fight where she wasn't heavily handicapped in some way such as being drugged, poisoned, chained up, etc. Even season 1, her handicap was being inexperienced while dealing with a whole host of enemies with techniques she's never even seen or heard of, but she was still able to break out of a bloodbender's hold without the Avatar state. Not even Aang could do that in his prime.

You learn bending by learning how to feel an element with your chi and extending your will upon it. Everything else is just technique for how you want to bend the element.

well that can entirely depend on climate. Most likely he has had a lack of sunlight in many many many years.

CJ Dennis
>>65525160

Does that happen though, someone with dark skin goes to a different climate and becomes more lighter. Amon almost looks like a different character from when he was young to older lol.

>>46738264

It’s still book 1 and everyone got other strengths 🤷🏽‍♂️. If we’re already at it, could Aang bend 3 elements as a little kid? Tbh i don’t get why so many people always need to compare them anyways.

Koria Hayes

I feel like it was less powering through and more it’s all she’s got left. For years, she’s been relying on her other bending techniques to see her through. Even earlier in this season, during a fit of anger, she expressed to Tenzin that she wasn’t sure she even needed it to be the avatar. As a physical instead of spiritual person, she spent her time learning the moves and martial arts of air bending but subconsciously she was probably still thinking she didn’t necessarily need it. Amon taking her other elements away forced her to rely on the one element she was lacking but had still been practicing the basics of for weeks if not months. It wasn’t that she couldn’t bend it. It’s that she wasn’t relying on it like she was the other elements. It’s like your two arms. Sure you know you have both, but for most, they have a favorite they use more than the other until they can’t use it and are forced to use the other one

yes, it does. I grew up in the tropics, basically the caribbean, lived there for 16 years. Moved to New York, Brooklyn and my skin color changed due to the drastic change in climate. Went from looking like tar to a light brown lol. My country only has two seasons; rain season and dry season(basically summer for more than half a year)
