Every time i get a notification and it's not black mirror or community, I die a little on the inside

hmm I guess this will do 😏

PS

Let's hope Amon is not a Swiftie

Avatar is the most important thing they’re reacting to shhh lmao

Kevin Greenfield

Idk if you guys kniw but the head wolf bat was Rami Malek from Mr. Robot

Noah Burke

The love stuff got on my nerves a bit as well, it dies off after the second half of season 2 thankfully

Noah Burke

Korra, leading on one brother while trying to get with the other and fucks them all up in the process

Bob Karcher

I honestly don't think she was leading Bolin on; she was feeling down, and didn't realize he was serious about dating.

Ben Wenger

Ah yes. The filleriest of the filler episodes in Korra.

Adam is Magic

Yeah all this love triangle and romantic drama is not what anyone signed up for. We thought we were getting a spiritual action/adventure series.

Kris

They made a Legend of Korra game and it was pretty cool. They also had a Pro Bending mode and it’s super fun

Cory Stanish

Suraj has most of the animal references covered, but I need to point out that we have also seen a Boarcupine before - Appa fought one in Appa's Lost Days.

U guys should eat your snacks from like a cloth sack or something lol. Great reaction btw

Aye Rami Malek (mr. Robot) voices the wolf bat guy! I knew he sounded familiar.

Burooj Ahanger

they haven't seen the other 2 siblings yet, kind of a spoiler revealing what they can/can't do

Burooj Ahanger

we see a boarcupine in the solo Appa episode in season 2

Burooj Ahanger

i mean you can also blame mako and bolin for liking korra? mutual attraction tends to both parties' faults

Jjj.

remember this show was made to aim to more of a teenager audience (the children who grew up after watching aang). So yeah, teenager love is present at the beggining. But dont worry, the show matures a lot (and I mean A LOT) as the seasons go on. (I think it is not spoiler so, btw, the brothers' mom is fire, the dad is earth)

remember guys there is a korra video game and you can pro bend o

Matthew Rudolph

You guys should go watch the Blindwave reaction to this episode. You'll really enjoy it.

6 years later, still haven't forgiven Korra for this

I agree with Nahid completely. Sorry to say, but you can tell that Korra was targeted to angsty, hormonal teenagers going through puberty who are suckers for a cheap romance story. That’s my problem with Korra. It felt like Twilight, not a spiritual adventure like Avatar was.

Taylor Smithpeters

girls fuck everything up? nice lowkey sexism ya got going there.

Taylor Smithpeters

mako definitely kissed her back so he's in the wrong too wtf

Todd “Canuck” Schmuck

The brothers each take after a different parent, with one parent being a fire bender and the other an earth bender. In fact, the parents are a good example of why republic city was created. The war lasted so long that some places just couldn’t go back to being earth kingdom, kicking out all fire nation citizens. It was multiple generations of fire nation soldiers raising families whose members became friends and spouses to the earth kingdom families. So republic city was the compromise. An independent city state with leaders and representatives from all nations. I imagine it’s one of the reasons they went with an early 20th century New York as an inspiration for the setting, what with it’s immigrant/multicultural history.

But Korra did start it and the whole thing and initiate it. They should've all waited until after the tournament for Christ sake.

olof

The whole teen romance/drama is the reason why i can't appreciate season as much as the last two. It felt simple, cheap and unnecessary. Having romance isn't bad in and of itself, but it has to be dome right - with a sensitive touch. Korra just feels genereic at times, lacking in depth.

Anthony

To be fair to Korra, this is probably her first romantic relationship. Definitely one of the weaker points of the show but I don't hate it.

KuzonFire121

This is where knowing the behind the scenes stuff can hurt. So if this season was all Korra was ever going to be, then yes, the love story is a little on the generic side and it hurts to think that this could've been it. Since the next 3 seasons were't initially planned it makes us judge this more as a stand alone season (and love story) instead of a first part of a 4 part story. This is the conflict I experienced. However, if you put the behind the scenes stuff away for a second and you take this season's love story and juxtapose it to upcoming storylines, it gives Korra depth and maturity as a character, not simply because of how it all ends, but also because of the different pathways the story took in which to get there. Its difficult to digest all 4 books of Korra into one cohesive story because 1.) ATLA did exactly that so well and 2.) Each Korra book is so fiercely independent, haha like Korra, but it helps bring out the best of this show to do so.

If your at all interested there was a Legend of Korra game released 3 or 4 years ago on all system. You go through Republic city as Korra and it even had a Pro Bending mode. For an avatar fan it was pretty fun.

Rami Malek from Mr. Robot voice acts the douchebag btw

Lalisa Truong

This wasn't even that big of a deal though. Just typical teen drama and heartbreak. Korra's just being the typical teen that makes really stupid choices. We've all been there before, no?

Lalisa Truong

"Korra was targeted to angsty, hormonal teenagers going through puberty who are suckers for a cheap romance story" Not all of it is like that though and honestly, isn't it pretty accurate to a lot of typical teens? I actually like that they included some slice of life for that.

Lalisa Truong

Done right? But what if they're portraying typical teens doing stupid shit? Ya know, the usual teen and love drama? That's what I saw and I even related to it despite how cringe-y it felt. Can't say it wasn't inaccurate at times.

Anonymous

Damn Nahid, that's some outright sexism, saying "girls ruin things" when it's more accurate to say "guys' reactions to girls ruin things"

Anonymous

It says a lot about people when they can become so utterly fixated on one aspect of a show that they didn't like that they can ignore everything good/great about it (animation, action, and humor to name a few)

olof

If it was done well there wouldn't be an issue. And yes, it is very possible for one aspect to color your impression of the show as a whole. But the show isn't "bad" because of the flaws - season one has a lot going for it. The design, the worldbuilding, the lore...it's fantastic. That's why the flaws are noticable - you can clearly see how good it could have been without certain elements. Like the romance.

Tina L

The Other "Bolin" Girl. I caught that, Suraj XD Well done!

Sanctus

tahno is voice by rami malek btw !! :D

Srey

So wait are you reacting to Bojack horseman or are you just watching it during your freetime ? :)

Mako is a cheater

CK12341

Man, yes, Korra is at fault, but Mako is too just as much.
