The Legend of Korra 3x11 FULL LENGTH Reaction | The Ultimatum

FULL LENGTH REACTION

This episode was pure anxiety back in the day. The previous episode established that "yeah, we kill people now" and then the next episode felt like it was just full of death flags for Tenzin. I was absolutely certain that he was going to be killed. It was such a cruel but masterful misdirect by the writers.

If you hate being wet then waterbending would actually be ideal. You can bend the water off you thus being dry all the time!

As other folks mentioned, there was a long-running theory in A:TLA fandom circles that Monk Gyatso had died literally sucking the air out of the room around him, including from the lungs of the Fire Nation soldiers attacking him. But this was, understandably, viewed mostly as a cool fan theory that could never be confirmed in-canon in a kid's show, given its grisly nature. By the time this episode aired, Korra had established itself tonally as targeted to an older audience than A:TLA, with its focus on teenage relationships and politics. But even then, I think the sense was that Korra was still very much a "pre-teen"-targeted series in what it could depict on screen. Witness how the show took herculean (sometimes borderline absurd) efforts to show how the heroes never actually kill anyone, or the way the show tries to avoid using the words "die" or "kill" whenever possible. Take a drink every time a character mentions "taking out" someone and you'll be, ironically, dead within the hour. So while there was this notion among long-time fans that an airbender could kill someone by sucking the air from their lungs, it was still almost unthinkable that the creators of the show would ever even nod to this idea directly, much less show one of the major characters being killed by it on screen. When Zaheer began airbending the breath out of the Earth Queen, I think everyone watching felt exactly like you did - like the air was being pulled out of our own lungs. It was a true "holy shit" moment.
