I LOVE LOVE LOVE that Korra’s final battle was the polar opposite of Aang’s, just like her entire story. She didn’t defeat Kuvira, she saved her. As someone who WANTED to fight, WANTED to be the Avatar, she had to learn that there is more to it. Her entire journey is so beautiful man I love LoK.
Fun fact: the voice actor of Tarrlok is so gifted that is voicing all the animals too. He IS Momo and Appa. BTW he’s also voicing the hippie from caves of two lovers.
I knew he sounded familiar but I couldn't figure out why when all of his credits were animal sounds. Then I realized he's perch perkins the newscaster fish from spongebob.
They originally wanted to tell the Raava story while aang was unconscious between season 2 and 3 of ATLA, but they couldn’t get it cleared. That was also going explain spirit bending and the avatar state far earlier and made the finale a lot less of an ex machina.
@@Miikasae the modern understanding of the avatar state is explained early in book 2 after 9900ish years it makes sense that what it actually is was lost
I'm not sure if it's canon but there is a popular fan theory that the Avatar world is much smaller than Earth as evidenced by how close the north and south pole are. Because the Avatar world is smaller, gravity is lighter. That's why characters can jump really far and lift and throw heavy things much easier than real world humans. Korra is still quite strong, but the gravity boost helps. I think Tenzin has Aang's abilities but he has more Katara in him. Very parental and reserved but apt to lose his cool.
Not necessarily. We evolve like this because we on earth with this gravity. If the avatar world is on a smaller world, I doubt their planet would even have a magnetosphere and would be uninhabitable; and the people would be relevant to us proportional to gravity. I.e. they would be weak here, we would be strong there.
So, the reason the recap episode happened is because Nickelodeon slashed the budget. The series directors didn't want to lay off animators/artists, so they decided to cut out what was *supposed to be* a Kuvira backstory episode and instead just do a recap/clipshow episode in it's place. It does really suck that Nickelodeon did that but I am glad that no one lost their job bc of it, this is the better alternative. From what I've read online it seems like the Kuvira episode also would've tied up some of Korra's story, so for example, it would've made more sense why Korra jumped in to save Kuvira at the end.
It's such a shame that this show is so looked down on. It's not quite as good as ATLA, but it doesn't deserve the hate. Thank you guys for watching it, taking the time to make this huge compilation, and not letting the toxic fans get to you.
The whole Internet's narrative on this show is about how hated it is... and yet, every time a reactor finishes ATLA, they do a "should we react to Korra?" poll and the answer is always yes.
@@corystanish I'm thinking it's one of those shows that appeal to adults than atla's original audience back in the day. Korra is not perfect, but it's still imo the 2nd best avatar related creation
Exactly! There are SO MANY incredible things about TLOK but I feel like most of the hate is generally directed right at Korra for not being/doing good enough and that’s just not fair let her rest 😭
The hate this show gets online is like 50% sexism, 30% nostalgia goggles for the OG series, and 20% legitimate criticism for how the series was handled by Nickelodeon. The amount of people who hate Korra for being stupid at times, but who love Aang and Zuko despite the same is fucking absurd. Nickelodeon fucked this show hard by only giving them 1 season at a time, and then they fucked them harder by slashing the last season's budget and then dumping it onto their website. And despite all of that, I'd still genuinely defend that LoK was a masterpiece. Flawed as fuck, but a fantastic continuation of what TLA started. I hope the rumors and such of there being a new series end up being true, and I really hope they're given the chance that LoK struggled to obtain.
This entire show is so special to me. Season 3 and 4 have so many incredible things to say about mental health and the nature of the Avatar and makes me so emotional every time. Season 1 has a particularly special place in my heart and is my favourite. It’s so much fun, the stakes are high, the bending is sick, pro bending is fucking cool and there isn’t a single dry episode. Man I love this show.
6:16 "Yeah, I don't know man. I think if I ended up in a wheelchair, I don't know if I would ever bounce back mentally." You don't. At least, I haven't. I went from being incredibly strong to being in such severe pain I still can't make it through most days without some kick-ass pain medication. In high school, my standing kicks were strong enough to break a rib cage. I was never a good runner (no stamina lmao), but I could walk a 5k on a whim. In less than 4 years, I went from physically fit with every intention of becoming a mortician for the navy to needing a wheelchair just to grab a gallon of milk and being unable to keep a job for very long. I watched this show as a kid having no idea at all how difficult it would become to watch this arc for Korra. You don't "bounce back" as much as you redirect. You have to approach *everything* from a new angle. Food, exercise, hygiene, all forms of relationships (including familial and platonic), your job prospects, everything. If you have the chance of getting strength in your legs back, **awesome**! Many don't. But it's still manageable. No joke, I ended up falling into the same mindset though. The best advice my therapist gave me was to not think about it as bouncing back. There is no "back" to get to, only forward. If you think about it that way, it's miles easier to cope with in a meaningful way
1:38:10 Those poor guys! "Yeah. Go kidnap councillor Tenzin. Son of Avatar Aang. Master Airbender and probably one of the most formidable benders on Earth. Good luck guys :| "
The internet is a lot like the citizens in this show. They blindly hate korra because popular figures tell them too, and get upset when she isn’t exactly like the avatar stories they were told as kids.
W. the moment kid korra bursts in, im the avatar! you gotta deal with it! I fell inlove with the show haha strong intro and contrast to aangs personality. the animation team was at their peak here. so many layers of movement and record setting drawings. as a animation student, its incredible. i fckin love this show, only think maybe it shouldnt be so ahead in the future, fantasy shows, eg lord of the rings, are best in the past. anyway great vid boys!
nah i disagree. there are good arcs of the korra series, but it annoyed me how she just figured out 3/4 bending techniques as a toddler... and still only knows 3/4 over a decade later
@@deeepdale But if you actually watched the show it's obvious why, she's an absolute physical behemoth whilst aang is a weak little softie, but he is insanely in tune with the spiritual part of being an avatar whilst Korra struggles with that aspect hence struggling with Air bending. it's really logical and it's only confusing if you think emotionally rather than rationally.
@kuivia Korra being a physical behemoth doesn't make any sense as to why she knows how to do 3/4 of bending. Oh, and don't ever call Aang a weak little softie! Absolutely disrespectful!
@@TitanBolt99 It does make sense because those are physical elements.. Did you not pay any attention to either series at all? Korra is in tune with her body and Aang is in tune with his spirituality. Korra WANTED to learn and WANTED to fight she's a fighter from birth so the bending came naturally to her while Aang wanted to chill and live the pacifist life because he's a vegan monk if you don't understand this you're blinded by emotions and not thinking rationally.
so the benders v non-benders actually *was* a challenge Avatar Aang faced after he and zuko created republic city in the comics. he did the best he could, but every avatar is gonna struggle to handle a specific aspect of their job that ends up being to core of the problems faced by the next avatar. (mainly bc they’re kids who’ve been given ALLL the power by the universe AND society) examples: - kyoshi created the kyoshi warriors, a huge help for avatar aang, but she also created the Dai Li (im waiting on the roku books to come in so i can see how that affected roku) - roku’s lack of action is the reason Sozin decided to GENOCIDE Aang’s entire nation, leaving Aang alone and with no real training. keep in mind, aang never had any real interest in being the avatar in the first place, which is why the show starts off not even feeling like they’re in a war. - Aang forcing a world that went 100 years without any sort of unification attempts to then “get along” lead to socioeconomic & political instability due to strong ideologies crashing into each other. meaning korra, who was so excited to be the avatar specifically because she knows the glory that comes with it, is now in a world who resents everything the avatar means. we see how that poisons her desire to do it all. i’d also like to acknowledge that the nightmare that chases korra is similar to the one Aang has in episode one of book two: this fear of the avatar state seems to occur across every avatar. keep in mind, it’s a defense mechanism designed to protect the avatar when they can’t protect themselves. Aang has to learn how to control that state, pretty much throughout the entire story. but the only time korra was ever taken into the avatar state without her conscious effort was the one time she needed to NOT do that! in a way, her own body betrayed her, which made me realize why Aang was so afraid of it as well; he probably hurt so many people when he was in the avatar state, which is against his beliefs. anyways. fascinating.
It saddens me that people hated this series. The only reason I can think of is that they were expecting another Aang and the Gaang travelling around the world. But its a new Avatar, who was brought up differently, in a different era. It's her story, not Aangs, and I think they did a really good job of, first, breaking her down and humbling her, then building her back up. For people who think the technology went too far too quickly, the 'first commercially successful steam engine that could transmit continuous power to a machine was developed in 1712' (The Drill in ATLA), the first automobile powered by gas was 1886 (early sato mobiles). Couple that with the fact that people can bend elements, and a massive war for 100 years meant technology advanced super quick. WW1 and WW2 in our world were major benchmarks for technology. For the people who don't like how obnoxious she is, of course she is! we're not really supposed to like her straight away, otherwise there's no growth for her. She was also told as a, what, 5? year old she's the Avatar and that was an important person to be. We saw what happened when Aang was treated like a god (Kyoshi Island) and how obnoxious and how he let a little power go to his head. Of course she'd grow up with a superiority complex. I think that's also what makes her villains so much more terrifying. They broke down this person who felt like such a powerhouse from the jump. Not to mention the villains themselves. It wasn't a clear this nation vs that nation which was so much more cut and dry in ATLA. It was only slightly touched on in ATLA that not everyone in the fire nation was inherently bad, just under a bad dictator, but in Korra, that theme is expanded on and all benders are shown to have bad in them (except for fire this time, lol). I grew up watching ATLA on nickelodeon, so when this one came out I was excited, and I was not disappointed at all in the story that was told. Plus, bonus, we got LORE.
You’ll notice that, even though there are 4 books they are half the size of the original show’s. And the creator didn’t know that there was going to be any past book 1. He was only guaranteed 1 season.
Yeah, idc what anyone says, Korra is an awesome show and Korra is a good avatar. I still believe the original ATLA is better but my only real complaint about LOK is that they went just a little too hard on the shipping and cringe lol. Otherwise, they did amazing.
Sokka: My First girlfriend turned into the moon. Zuko: That's rough, buddy. Mako: Both my girlfriends left me for each other. Bolin: (Laughs like a dolphin) Me: Feels bad for Sokka but laughs like a dolphin alongside Bolin.
Absolute favorite season of *The Legend of Korra* was Season 4. All of the main characters have matured over the course of the three years since the events of Season 3.
There might be something you guys might of missed but first is in season 2 episode called “beginnings” the spirit oasis was the southern secret lake in the south water tribe shown in the avatar the last airbender. Now an other thing that I always wonder is the old lady who helped Korra in the island might be azula!, in the comics the last thing we heard about her was escaping, running tours to a forest and never seen again, and if you guys look at the old lady, she look like azula bug old with the way her hair is style, she is also fire bender and it would make send she would be at that age by now
The problem with exercising the vines/spirits is they are sent back to the spirit world, but with the portals open, the worlds are meshed, so the vines have nowhere to go.
Also, I think there was a line in S2 about spirits being more powerful when the portals are open, but more importantly you exorcise _dark_ spirits and they were regular spirit vines.
I really love that Toph mentioned Sokka in Book Four, it was a passing comment sure, but you can tell underneath her tough old lady exterior that she truly misses him and the rest of her friends as well.
i really appreciate how understanding yall are of early seasons korra. she isn't perfect and can be frustrating but in no way was she unreasonable for behaving the way she did. she apologized and owned up to her faults in the end which speaks so so much to her character
2:15:41 Funnily enough... this is EXACTLY why Tenzin wanted Korra to master her spiritual side and airbending instead of just entering it for a boost. It doesnt make you invincible or mean you have the skill to access all you need once your in the avatar state. Just like how Aang used the Avatar State as a boost, bending the whole ocean without even the glow in his eyes at the end of The Last Airbender after fighting Ozai, but during the show, he used it out of emotions and as a crutch, ultimately leading to his first death.
fun fact if it wasnt mentioned- when they were talking about the book after atla (the promise) when they mention the town that zuko and aang were arguing over, essentially it was a mix of earth benders & fire benders, initially zuko wanted the nations to be separate but aang was disagreeing. Eventually that town became what we now know as republic city :) And it makes sense why Mako & Bolin are brothers because they are a biproduct of parents with mixed elements. And its neat that Bolin knows lava bending as opposed to Metal bending because its like in his bloodline to have both fire and earth!😊
7:23:38 I really hate the whole, "If they wanted us dead, they'd have already killed us" trope. It just seems like a poor excuse to get people who have no reason to trust each other to start working together.
Can I just say that I love Varrick's inaccurate retelling of the the show's events in S4 Ep8? If I EVER make my own show, I want to have two episodes after the finale of each season. One to correctly recap the season accurately, and the other to be an incorrect summary that's bizarre and a crack induced craz fest. I would hire RUclipsrs like Maxxor to do it too! 😂 😆 🤣
I love the idea of pseudo avatar type people, earth benders with earth, sand, metal and lava; Water with water, vapor, blood and healing Fire with fire, combustion, lightning and uhhhh 🤔 And air with hmmm, air, astral projection and 🤨 So earth and water confirmed better 😝
Tophs voice actress was in middle school while voicing her character for the first avatar❤ and now she’s got her own RUclips channel to zuko’s va an her have done some videos together❤ I am really looking forward to what the avatar studios will bring to life now that they are in the works can’t say I’ve heard any rumblings since the announcement, but chorus proves to me, at least that there is certainly an entire universe worthy content that we could see built out of simple every day elements like earth, fire, water, and air. I have never Nerdette out more in my life over a show than I do for avatar. The last Airbender were talking notes taken of how I would bring this universe into modern day. We’re talking special army, black ops divisions, people who control more than one element at a time those who can enter avatar state and only have a select few that they’re able to control it gets deep brother💀✌🏽✨
I'm curious to see if they do another two series. An Earth bender who hates Korra upon meeting her spirit and the idea of the avatar. They could be the next Kyoshi, and the other avatar could be like Iroh. Wise, but also in conflict with the past two headstrong avatars who do nothing but fight.
I still don’t understand why people don’t like the series it’s really good In my opinion but it’s still nowhere near as good as the original. It’s just brings so many memories when I think of it ,it’s so good.
Hey, so i already said on the sonic 3 trailer video that i'd Say that again when There's a more récent video, so i know y'all probably won't read that, but i just wanted to recomand "Transformers Prime" a Transformers kid's show, i thought maybe it wasn't your type, but i mean, you watched Steven universe, adventure Time, all that, and you liked it even tho they're kid's shows, and anyways, it does'nt hurt to try and recomand something, that's it have a good day and keep up the good videos ! 👍
my favorite character in the show is korra, so maybe i'm biased, but people just didn't like that she made mistakes. aang was babied by the fans for his mistakes but everyone wants to shit on korra for hers. korra changed a lot as a character and went on a mental journey and that is what makes her such a great character to me
I forgot what foreign studio animated LOK, but judging by Korra's expression in the righthand thumbnail, l wouldn't be surprised if they've done hentai too.
We will have the people on Nuktuk's side and the president will have to listen! I dont think it works like that... Dude... It absolutely works like that. Look at all the politicians scrambling for first and exclusive influencer videos.
The series isn’t hated so much in retrospect. If you were there when it was airing, holy fucking shit… anotto e toon this was a time when show creators and staff would regularly interact with people online like… pretty openly. There was a warning curve to how vicious pool would get about it and what boundaries needed to be set. It was about the end of AtLA when you were getting more centralized social media sites with productions and companies establishing themselves. However this also meant fan bases noticing this now direct line of contact with mainstream shows and stuff. I was in the LJ community y the time and as Korra was coming up and he ending was in tumblr’s prime. It was also as twitter began to overtake tumblr. There were some issues with the fandom and their direct interaction and dogpiling back then as well as some very inappropriate approaches by fans (real person shipping, the ship wars, I’m sure shoving their own fan art porn and stuff, that kid of thing). There had to be those years where the first shows and creators had more direct interactions with fans and seeing just how much te toxic parts of the fandom would jump on the chance to talk at them as much as anyone else. They got shit for everything on a weekly episode by episode basis for tanking the entire show and writing it into the toilet (as some more vocal watchers would say, it’s not a sentiment I agree with). It’s not as vocally hated now and people who have since rewatched it back to back rather than spaced out a week between episodes but ALSO with the gift of rewatch bonus kenny seeing how things connected or were foreshadowed earlier… and the. couple that with binging AtLA in its entirety followed by Korra… Of course it’s regarded so much better now than the crew got treated to when it was running. Te crew also took te brunt the hate for writing and quality decisions that were a result of executive meddling. You also see a direct shot at fans in the show with the Nuktuk fans as that was signature con interaction. I think it’s a cute nod, but it was more “this is weird and uncomfortable and we all agree that people like this are awkward and please don’t do this” than anything else. Personally? I didn’t realize how much bi rep actually mattered to me until I saw that finale. People threw a fit and got angry saying it wasn’t good enough while others were insisting they read too much into it. I’m sitting there at 24 and it wasn’t even really subtext, it was pretty blatant. There were a billion things to do to diffuse any romantic reading of the situation, just having a big goodbye to everyone as they send off Korra and Asami to the spirit world would have done the trick. Like… shit I was actually in school getting my degree for animation at the time too. Everything I learned about storytelling was fresh at the time. But I believe Mike had to make a tumble post confirming this was the end game ship they started wanting to set up by Book 2. Thing is a lot of people also complained y came out of nowhere however… it was also a time where this ending was considered “too far” in showing LGBT characters. This was pre-Steven Universe. Shit, Korr and Asami held hands traveling to the spirit world so Ruby and Sapphire could get marred and kiss on screen. But now, because so much progress has been made, people call it weaken cowardly not making it more explicit. A lot of the feelings bd perceptions around. show are remnants of when it came out, the initial strongest reaction. Legend f Korra ended a decade ago and it was the sequel series to a show that single-handedly rises the bar for the quality of visuals and storytelling in western animation. It was a tough act to follow. The network actively screwed it over. The entirety of the last two season were premiered exclusively streamed online when cable premiers were still the standard. Being shown exclusively online was basically a network trying to bury a show back then. It’s the same as screwing a show with an inconsistent time slot. The numbers back then for online viewings on the day it went live were very low compared to today. I love Korra, man. It had a lot working against it though and being in the midst of the rise of online cancel culture along with crew accessibility did not help AT ALL. The network green lighting it as an 8 episode miniseries written solely by the creators who had 4 years between the end of AtLA and LoK… suddenly having to expand that tightened up story to 12 episodes… then having a second season ordered… they had to fumble what they could through Book 2 but there’s only so much they could do because I’m willing to bet it was the season with the east time given and spent on the writing. Te best they could do was lay down all the foundation for the rest of the series and then write around that. I like the ultimate end of Korra and Mako’s relationship. It’s not that they didn’t love each other but recognizing that they weren’t good for each year romantically. It really went to show that problems in a relationship happen for more reasons than “you don’t *really* love each other” and that sometimes you have to call it quits because you are worse people together. However I think i the process they fumbled trying to write those issues and end the relationship but also managing the weird triangle stuff. The more awkward elements of Book 2 are definitely a result of not having the time to clean up the script they way the could the their seasons. Plus after the expansion of episodes, they had to hire on more writers. Too many cooks and all that. And since hey wanted to go the Korrasami direction, they had to break up Korra and Mako, give Asami bd Mako 0 motivation to rekindle things, and Korra and Asami more reason to hang out and team up to lay a foundation for their relationship. So in terms of romance subplot, there was a bit they wanted to happen but Book 2 was deffo a straight line from point a to point b kind of process since the other elements to world building were more important. Most important to the entirety of book 2 was the story of the first Avatar too. That’s. story I’m sure they’ve had on the back burner for a LONG time. I’d even guess it been in mind since AtLA. But yeah… just as someone who was there watching both AtLA and LoK as they came out and as someone in the fandom, on tumblr and LJ too… these impressions that the series is hated isn’t the consensus from today. It’s the loudest consensus from back then.
I got 3 ideas for 3 shows.You guys should take a look.They are called swat cats, street sharks and mighty ducks.These are good shows.You guys gotta take a look.They are really jawesome
The spiritual stuff is the advanced bending form for air benders, so that's why the big bad knew she was with the Metal Clan. Air -> Spirit, Earth -> Metal, Water -> Spirit, Fire -> Lightning
Probably true (alongside flying), but in the case of finding Korra, it seems Aiwei was regularly meeting up with Zaheer in the spirit world. This makes more sense, as there's no reason why Zaheer would have to go fishing at the Air Temple for information on where Korra is, otherwise. (That probably hastened the reveal of who he was for Kya.)
I mean Sozin committed genocide and then started a war that lasted a hundred years, so there was that. And without him, the fire nation colonies would't have existed; when I read that in the comics I was like yeah this is going to have major ramifications, and Aang sort of just let the next generation deal with it, no biggie.
I'm only 2 hours in but i love this video so much already. this show is so good and it's so weirdly controversial. it does deserve criticism but it's a great show overall!
As another comment said, Are there chances you'd do Star vs the forces of evil? I remember that alongside Gravity Falls and Steven Universe being some of the best cartoons of their time.
I remember how so many ppl just forgit about thks show after it ended bc rhey werent satisfied with the ending 😢 witch is reslly sad cause i luv that show and ppl were so hype evry new season. I also live this show so i hope tjey will react to it too
I’ll argue that Bolin is a stronger bender than Kuvira. Like straight up 1V1 Bolin should be able to beat her. Lava bender vs metal bender, I got lava every time. Surprised Bolin didn’t try to stop her himself. Granted that’s not his character trait nor his show but he could’ve done it himself 🤷🏽♂️
Say what you want but Korea is my favorite avatar I love the way she uses bending the aggressive style with bending that shouldn’t generally be aggressive, but she makes it her own
As much as I love Korra as a series I can't even begin to fathom what the writers were smoking when they came up with the romance. They made such egregiously terrible decisions literally frame one. "Oh, we have this character in a very heavily pre-established relationship? Let's have our main character completely disregard that and confess to him, shooting her self image in the foot." Genuine crackpot writing. And then you have the gall to immediately make the guy IN SAID PRE-ESTABLISHED RELATIONSHIP SUDDENLY GET JEALOUS? I felt so bad for Bolin AND Asami from season one because that is genuinely some of the most toxic shit. Lord above I could rant forever on this, cuz even if they didn't make Mako a complete idiot, the fact that they already had Korra ignore the fact that he was in a relationship and confess to him made her look like she was absolutely ready to tear apart a complete stranger's relationship and was such a shit message for kids I just can't.
the metal bender toph dader move so good because they bend there armor to the derechine they want to go and the weat of the armor make momentom and they go flyng
I LOVE LOVE LOVE that Korra’s final battle was the polar opposite of Aang’s, just like her entire story. She didn’t defeat Kuvira, she saved her. As someone who WANTED to fight, WANTED to be the Avatar, she had to learn that there is more to it. Her entire journey is so beautiful man I love LoK.
yeah i like the contrast how aang didn’t want to be avatar or choose violence was forced to do it but for korra it was the other way around

Season 3 and 4 have so many incredible things to say about mental health and the nature of the Avatar and makes me so emotional every time.
Season 1 has a particularly special place in my heart and is my favourite. It’s so much fun, the stakes are high, the bending is sick, pro bending is fucking cool and there isn’t a single dry episode.
Man I love this show.
I'm not sure if it's ever mentioned anywhere in the show but Naga is the 1st domesticated polar bear dog.
Yea fr this is the equivalent of walking through new york with your own personal polar bear.
tamed, not domesticated.
"I don't know... But wont it be interesting to find out?" Is one of my favorite quotes from the show, it nearly makes me cry every time
True ranking of the seasons: S3>S1>S4>S2
100% agree
6:16 "Yeah, I don't know man. I think if I ended up in a wheelchair, I don't know if I would ever bounce back mentally." You don't. At least, I haven't. I went from being incredibly strong to being in such severe pain I still can't make it through most days without some kick-ass pain medication. In high school, my standing kicks were strong enough to break a rib cage. I was never a good runner (no stamina lmao), but I could walk a 5k on a whim. In less than 4 years, I went from physically fit with every intention of becoming a mortician for the navy to needing a wheelchair just to grab a gallon of milk and being unable to keep a job for very long. I watched this show as a kid having no idea at all how difficult it would become to watch this arc for Korra.
You don't "bounce back" as much as you redirect. You have to approach *everything* from a new angle. Food, exercise, hygiene, all forms of relationships (including familial and platonic), your job prospects, everything. If you have the chance of getting strength in your legs back, **awesome**! Many don't. But it's still manageable. No joke, I ended up falling into the same mindset though. The best advice my therapist gave me was to not think about it as bouncing back. There is no "back" to get to, only forward. If you think about it that way, it's miles easier to cope with in a meaningful way
1:38:10 Those poor guys! "Yeah. Go kidnap councillor Tenzin. Son of Avatar Aang. Master Airbender and probably one of the most formidable benders on Earth. Good luck guys :| "
What a week. We get season 3 of RWBY and emotional damage. And we get the full reaction to Korra. Great week. Great week.
The internet is a lot like the citizens in this show. They blindly hate korra because popular figures tell them too, and get upset when she isn’t exactly like the avatar stories they were told as kids.
W. the moment kid korra bursts in, im the avatar! you gotta deal with it! I fell inlove with the show haha strong intro and contrast to aangs personality. the animation team was at their peak here. so many layers of movement and record setting drawings. as a animation student, its incredible. i fckin love this show, only think maybe it shouldnt be so ahead in the future, fantasy shows, eg lord of the rings, are best in the past. anyway great vid boys!
nah i disagree. there are good arcs of the korra series, but it annoyed me how she just figured out 3/4 bending techniques as a toddler... and still only knows 3/4 over a decade later
@@deeepdale But if you actually watched the show it's obvious why, she's an absolute physical behemoth whilst aang is a weak little softie, but he is insanely in tune with the spiritual part of being an avatar whilst Korra struggles with that aspect hence struggling with Air bending. it's really logical and it's only confusing if you think emotionally rather than rationally.
@kuivia Korra being a physical behemoth doesn't make any sense as to why she knows how to do 3/4 of bending.
Oh, and don't ever call Aang a weak little softie! Absolutely disrespectful!
@@TitanBolt99 It does make sense because those are physical elements.. Did you not pay any attention to either series at all? Korra is in tune with her body and Aang is in tune with his spirituality.
Korra WANTED to learn and WANTED to fight she's a fighter from birth so the bending came naturally to her while Aang wanted to chill and live the pacifist life because he's a vegan monk if you don't understand this you're blinded by emotions and not thinking rationally.
Eska absolutely awakened something in me (honestly Audrey Plaza in general) I would've taken that betrothal necklace immediately.
Took me 3 days to watch this behemoth, and I loved it
We appreciate you ❤️
so the benders v non-benders actually *was* a challenge Avatar Aang faced after he and zuko created republic city in the comics. he did the best he could, but every avatar is gonna struggle to handle a specific aspect of their job that ends up being to core of the problems faced by the next avatar. (mainly bc they’re kids who’ve been given ALLL the power by the universe AND society)
examples:
- kyoshi created the kyoshi warriors, a huge help for avatar aang, but she also created the Dai Li (im waiting on the roku books to come in so i can see how that affected roku)
- roku’s lack of action is the reason Sozin decided to GENOCIDE Aang’s entire nation, leaving Aang alone and with no real training. keep in mind, aang never had any real interest in being the avatar in the first place, which is why the show starts off not even feeling like they’re in a war.
- Aang forcing a world that went 100 years without any sort of unification attempts to then “get along” lead to socioeconomic & political instability due to strong ideologies crashing into each other. meaning korra, who was so excited to be the avatar specifically because she knows the glory that comes with it, is now in a world who resents everything the avatar means. we see how that poisons her desire to do it all.
i’d also like to acknowledge that the nightmare that chases korra is similar to the one Aang has in episode one of book two: this fear of the avatar state seems to occur across every avatar. keep in mind, it’s a defense mechanism designed to protect the avatar when they can’t protect themselves. Aang has to learn how to control that state, pretty much throughout the entire story. but the only time korra was ever taken into the avatar state without her conscious effort was the one time she needed to NOT do that! in a way, her own body betrayed her, which made me realize why Aang was so afraid of it as well; he probably hurt so many people when he was in the avatar state, which is against his beliefs.
anyways. fascinating.
That thumbnail perfectly describes this series and its unfortunate events 😭
It saddens me that people hated this series. The only reason I can think of is that they were expecting another Aang and the Gaang travelling around the world. But its a new Avatar, who was brought up differently, in a different era. It's her story, not Aangs, and I think they did a really good job of, first, breaking her down and humbling her, then building her back up.
For people who think the technology went too far too quickly, the 'first commercially successful steam engine that could transmit continuous power to a machine was developed in 1712' (The Drill in ATLA), the first automobile powered by gas was 1886 (early sato mobiles). Couple that with the fact that people can bend elements, and a massive war for 100 years meant technology advanced super quick. WW1 and WW2 in our world were major benchmarks for technology.
For the people who don't like how obnoxious she is, of course she is! we're not really supposed to like her straight away, otherwise there's no growth for her. She was also told as a, what, 5? year old she's the Avatar and that was an important person to be. We saw what happened when Aang was treated like a god (Kyoshi Island) and how obnoxious and how he let a little power go to his head. Of course she'd grow up with a superiority complex. I think that's also what makes her villains so much more terrifying. They broke down this person who felt like such a powerhouse from the jump.
Not to mention the villains themselves. It wasn't a clear this nation vs that nation which was so much more cut and dry in ATLA. It was only slightly touched on in ATLA that not everyone in the fire nation was inherently bad, just under a bad dictator, but in Korra, that theme is expanded on and all benders are shown to have bad in them (except for fire this time, lol).
I grew up watching ATLA on nickelodeon, so when this one came out I was excited, and I was not disappointed at all in the story that was told. Plus, bonus, we got LORE.
wait ... do they ... did they not realise Asami and Korra ... ya know what, haha, nvm
My favorite fan-canon is that in the race at 2:05:00, Korra went into the Avatar State so that Aang could play with his grandkids.
I love this. (Also, I feel like he would have done the same thing himself if he could while he was alive.)
I’ve watched this show 1 million times and I always have the same reaction to zahir showing up at the air temple😭
Unpopular opinion but I love TLoK more than ATLA, I relate to Korra a lot more and each season is just great!!!
Honestly same, I think ATLA is objectively a better show but I like TLoK more because how it makes me feel.
Fun fact if no one has mentioned it already: Kuvira is voiced by Zelda Williams, Robin Williams' daughter
1:53:23 They weren't stupid. That sort of technology is so alien to them so it makes sense that they wouldnt think nothing of it
You’ll notice that, even though there are 4 books they are half the size of the original show’s. And the creator didn’t know that there was going to be any past book 1. He was only guaranteed 1 season.
Yeah, idc what anyone says, Korra is an awesome show and Korra is a good avatar. I still believe the original ATLA is better but my only real complaint about LOK is that they went just a little too hard on the shipping and cringe lol. Otherwise, they did amazing.
That is thumbnail to me is like “I have two sides”
"Happy side. Locked in "
I love how the guys keep calling Meelo Tommy Pickles 😅
Sokka: My First girlfriend turned into the moon.
Zuko: That's rough, buddy.
Mako: Both my girlfriends left me for each other.
Bolin: (Laughs like a dolphin)
Me: Feels bad for Sokka but laughs like a dolphin alongside Bolin.
1:28:39 "It's not time for your trauma, we've got stuff to do." Wasn't that the rule in the writers rooms motto for dealing with Asami?
Absolute favorite season of *The Legend of Korra* was Season 4. All of the main characters have matured over the course of the three years since the events of Season 3.
There might be something you guys might of missed but first is in season 2 episode called “beginnings” the spirit oasis was the southern secret lake in the south water tribe shown in the avatar the last airbender.
Now an other thing that I always wonder is the old lady who helped Korra in the island might be azula!, in the comics the last thing we heard about her was escaping, running tours to a forest and never seen again, and if you guys look at the old lady, she look like azula bug old with the way her hair is style, she is also fire bender and it would make send she would be at that age by now
The problem with exercising the vines/spirits is they are sent back to the spirit world, but with the portals open, the worlds are meshed, so the vines have nowhere to go.
Also, I think there was a line in S2 about spirits being more powerful when the portals are open, but more importantly you exorcise _dark_ spirits and they were regular spirit vines.
"Parents love, no if batman can't have it, you can't either." 😂😂
I really love that Toph mentioned Sokka in Book Four, it was a passing comment sure, but you can tell underneath her tough old lady exterior that she truly misses him and the rest of her friends as well.
i really appreciate how understanding yall are of early seasons korra. she isn't perfect and can be frustrating but in no way was she unreasonable for behaving the way she did. she apologized and owned up to her faults in the end which speaks so so much to her character
2:15:41 Funnily enough... this is EXACTLY why Tenzin wanted Korra to master her spiritual side and airbending instead of just entering it for a boost. It doesnt make you invincible or mean you have the skill to access all you need once your in the avatar state. Just like how Aang used the Avatar State as a boost, bending the whole ocean without even the glow in his eyes at the end of The Last Airbender after fighting Ozai, but during the show, he used it out of emotions and as a crutch, ultimately leading to his first death.
These are the only people I trust with my childhood shows.
Tha thumbnail goes crazy 🤣🤣
“His pronoun is just him because he’s HIM”
Ok that’s funny 😂
A popular theory about people becoming airbenders randomly is that their ancestors may have been airbenders in hiding.
fun fact if it wasnt mentioned- when they were talking about the book after atla (the promise) when they mention the town that zuko and aang were arguing over, essentially it was a mix of earth benders & fire benders, initially zuko wanted the nations to be separate but aang was disagreeing. Eventually that town became what we now know as republic city :) And it makes sense why Mako & Bolin are brothers because they are a biproduct of parents with mixed elements. And its neat that Bolin knows lava bending as opposed to Metal bending because its like in his bloodline to have both fire and earth!😊
Loved The Legend of Korra, and the characters. Zaheer, the best villain in the series.
IM SO HAPPY I DISCOVERED THIS CHANNEL!!!
Dawgs Meelo is a secret weapon you save for when you really need to break something important.
The way the subtitles ruined the Toph reveal is so disrespectful!
Love these binge watches, y’all are just tremendous!!!!
not sure if anyone has mentioned this but the recap episode in season 4 was originally meant to be a Kuvira backstory episode
You guy Have Got To watch The Secret Saturdays! It's so underrated and awesome!
7:23:38 I really hate the whole, "If they wanted us dead, they'd have already killed us" trope. It just seems like a poor excuse to get people who have no reason to trust each other to start working together.
Old Toph is pretty much my great-grandma; crankiest, toughest, funniest Grammy ever!!❤ Rip Grammy Emmy, greatest of the great on all Zealand 🙌🏼🤗
Can I just say that I love Varrick's inaccurate retelling of the the show's events in S4 Ep8? If I EVER make my own show, I want to have two episodes after the finale of each season.
One to correctly recap the season accurately, and the other to be an incorrect summary that's bizarre and a crack induced craz fest. I would hire RUclipsrs like Maxxor to do it too! 😂 😆 🤣
The thing that makes me most sad about Legend of Korra is that they didn't give us a scene where she interacts with Kyoshi.
Desna and Eska were my bi awakening.
I like to imagine whoever have to marry into North Pole Water Tribe royalty would have to marry both of them lol
I love the idea of pseudo avatar type people, earth benders with earth, sand, metal and lava;
Water with water, vapor, blood and healing
Fire with fire, combustion, lightning and uhhhh 🤔
And air with hmmm, air, astral projection and 🤨
So earth and water confirmed better 😝
Tophs voice actress was in middle school while voicing her character for the first avatar❤ and now she’s got her own RUclips channel to zuko’s va an her have done some videos together❤
I am really looking forward to what the avatar studios will bring to life now that they are in the works can’t say I’ve heard any rumblings since the announcement, but chorus proves to me, at least that there is certainly an entire universe worthy content that we could see built out of simple every day elements like earth, fire, water, and air. I have never Nerdette out more in my life over a show than I do for avatar. The last Airbender were talking notes taken of how I would bring this universe into modern day. We’re talking special army, black ops divisions, people who control more than one element at a time those who can enter avatar state and only have a select few that they’re able to control it gets deep brother💀✌🏽✨
Man... Zaheer is so well written, damn...
The reason that Ryu (the slacker airbender) has such strong Napoleon Dynamite vibes is because he's literally voiced by Jon Heder.
This has genuinely become my favorite react channel.
comparing korra to atla isnt fair cuss comparing atla to anything isnt fair
I'm curious to see if they do another two series. An Earth bender who hates Korra upon meeting her spirit and the idea of the avatar. They could be the next Kyoshi, and the other avatar could be like Iroh. Wise, but also in conflict with the past two headstrong avatars who do nothing but fight.
Also the metal bending rocks are the metor that sokka made his sword out of
Fr I agree with you guys season 2 does not feel like it’s season 2 but Tbh Every season feels like it’s the finale
I’m sure you guys already know but there’s a LoK game that takes place in between books 2 & 3.😊
I still don’t understand why people don’t like the series it’s really good In my opinion but it’s still nowhere near as good as the original. It’s just brings so many memories when I think of it ,it’s so good.
bolin fought an entire war in that sock 🤣🤣
I LITERALLY JUST finished their ATLA reaction, like I'm talking 12 minutes ago...
Am I lucky or what, let's eat!
Hey, so i already said on the sonic 3 trailer video that i'd Say that again when There's a more récent video, so i know y'all probably won't read that, but i just wanted to recomand "Transformers Prime" a Transformers kid's show, i thought maybe it wasn't your type, but i mean, you watched Steven universe, adventure Time, all that, and you liked it even tho they're kid's shows, and anyways, it does'nt hurt to try and recomand something, that's it have a good day and keep up the good videos ! 👍
7:54:50 i swear if sue's dad is a guy named sinnoh im going to lose it
8:19:58 didn't think this scene would make me teary-eyed ngl
Thank you thank you for the Lonestar reference😂😂 only one man would DARE give me the raspberry.
my favorite character in the show is korra, so maybe i'm biased, but people just didn't like that she made mistakes. aang was babied by the fans for his mistakes but everyone wants to shit on korra for hers. korra changed a lot as a character and went on a mental journey and that is what makes her such a great character to me
I forgot what foreign studio animated LOK, but judging by Korra's expression in the righthand thumbnail, l wouldn't be surprised if they've done hentai too.
We will have the people on Nuktuk's side and the president will have to listen!
I dont think it works like that...
Dude... It absolutely works like that. Look at all the politicians scrambling for first and exclusive influencer videos.
alrighty just one last video before going to bed…wait how long is it? 😳
Watched this while thing and was reminded of how freaking cool this show is
So many people got upset by this show, but I love it
you guys need to react to the cabbage man theory! it'll blow your minds
The series isn’t hated so much in retrospect. If you were there when it was airing, holy fucking shit…
anotto e toon this was a time when show creators and staff would regularly interact with people online like… pretty openly. There was a warning curve to how vicious pool would get about it and what boundaries needed to be set. It was about the end of AtLA when you were getting more centralized social media sites with productions and companies establishing themselves.
However this also meant fan bases noticing this now direct line of contact with mainstream shows and stuff. I was in the LJ community y the time and as Korra was coming up and he ending was in tumblr’s prime. It was also as twitter began to overtake tumblr.
There were some issues with the fandom and their direct interaction and dogpiling back then as well as some very inappropriate approaches by fans (real person shipping, the ship wars, I’m sure shoving their own fan art porn and stuff, that kid of thing).
There had to be those years where the first shows and creators had more direct interactions with fans and seeing just how much te toxic parts of the fandom would jump on the chance to talk at them as much as anyone else.
They got shit for everything on a weekly episode by episode basis for tanking the entire show and writing it into the toilet (as some more vocal watchers would say, it’s not a sentiment I agree with).
It’s not as vocally hated now and people who have since rewatched it back to back rather than spaced out a week between episodes but ALSO with the gift of rewatch bonus kenny seeing how things connected or were foreshadowed earlier… and the. couple that with binging AtLA in its entirety followed by Korra…
Of course it’s regarded so much better now than the crew got treated to when it was running. Te crew also took te brunt the hate for writing and quality decisions that were a result of executive meddling. You also see a direct shot at fans in the show with the Nuktuk fans as that was signature con interaction. I think it’s a cute nod, but it was more “this is weird and uncomfortable and we all agree that people like this are awkward and please don’t do this” than anything else.
Personally? I didn’t realize how much bi rep actually mattered to me until I saw that finale. People threw a fit and got angry saying it wasn’t good enough while others were insisting they read too much into it. I’m sitting there at 24 and it wasn’t even really subtext, it was pretty blatant. There were a billion things to do to diffuse any romantic reading of the situation, just having a big goodbye to everyone as they send off Korra and Asami to the spirit world would have done the trick.
Like… shit I was actually in school getting my degree for animation at the time too. Everything I learned about storytelling was fresh at the time. But I believe Mike had to make a tumble post confirming this was the end game ship they started wanting to set up by Book 2.
Thing is a lot of people also complained y came out of nowhere however… it was also a time where this ending was considered “too far” in showing LGBT characters. This was pre-Steven Universe. Shit, Korr and Asami held hands traveling to the spirit world so Ruby and Sapphire could get marred and kiss on screen. But now, because so much progress has been made, people call it weaken cowardly not making it more explicit.
A lot of the feelings bd perceptions around. show are remnants of when it came out, the initial strongest reaction. Legend f Korra ended a decade ago and it was the sequel series to a show that single-handedly rises the bar for the quality of visuals and storytelling in western animation. It was a tough act to follow. The network actively screwed it over. The entirety of the last two season were premiered exclusively streamed online when cable premiers were still the standard. Being shown exclusively online was basically a network trying to bury a show back then. It’s the same as screwing a show with an inconsistent time slot. The numbers back then for online viewings on the day it went live were very low compared to today.
I love Korra, man. It had a lot working against it though and being in the midst of the rise of online cancel culture along with crew accessibility did not help AT ALL. The network green lighting it as an 8 episode miniseries written solely by the creators who had 4 years between the end of AtLA and LoK… suddenly having to expand that tightened up story to 12 episodes… then having a second season ordered… they had to fumble what they could through Book 2 but there’s only so much they could do because I’m willing to bet it was the season with the east time given and spent on the writing. Te best they could do was lay down all the foundation for the rest of the series and then write around that.
I like the ultimate end of Korra and Mako’s relationship. It’s not that they didn’t love each other but recognizing that they weren’t good for each year romantically. It really went to show that problems in a relationship happen for more reasons than “you don’t *really* love each other” and that sometimes you have to call it quits because you are worse people together.
However I think i the process they fumbled trying to write those issues and end the relationship but also managing the weird triangle stuff. The more awkward elements of Book 2 are definitely a result of not having the time to clean up the script they way the could the their seasons. Plus after the expansion of episodes, they had to hire on more writers. Too many cooks and all that.
And since hey wanted to go the Korrasami direction, they had to break up Korra and Mako, give Asami bd Mako 0 motivation to rekindle things, and Korra and Asami more reason to hang out and team up to lay a foundation for their relationship.
So in terms of romance subplot, there was a bit they wanted to happen but Book 2 was deffo a straight line from point a to point b kind of process since the other elements to world building were more important. Most important to the entirety of book 2 was the story of the first Avatar too. That’s. story I’m sure they’ve had on the back burner for a LONG time. I’d even guess it been in mind since AtLA.
But yeah… just as someone who was there watching both AtLA and LoK as they came out and as someone in the fandom, on tumblr and LJ too… these impressions that the series is hated isn’t the consensus from today. It’s the loudest consensus from back then.
Guys i love you so much, 8 hours of avatar, thanks for accompanying me these 3 days in my meal times. NOW DO THE LIVE ACTIONNNNN
Did it when it released
2:30:10 Bumi ain't named after Bumi, Bumi is named Bumi bc he's the new Bumi-rang bender of the Aang family lol
I’ve seen the legend of korra and it’s the best show ever
I got 3 ideas for 3 shows.You guys should take a look.They are called swat cats, street sharks and mighty ducks.These are good shows.You guys gotta take a look.They are really jawesome
Asami was actualy supposed to be equalist spy, just as you thought. People however liked her too much so they change that.
The spiritual stuff is the advanced bending form for air benders, so that's why the big bad knew she was with the Metal Clan. Air -> Spirit, Earth -> Metal, Water -> Spirit, Fire -> Lightning
It’s more like it branches either water to blood then to spirit or direct from water to spirit.
Probably true (alongside flying), but in the case of finding Korra, it seems Aiwei was regularly meeting up with Zaheer in the spirit world. This makes more sense, as there's no reason why Zaheer would have to go fishing at the Air Temple for information on where Korra is, otherwise. (That probably hastened the reveal of who he was for Kya.)
I was not ready for this so soon 🥲
Yall watch RWBY AND ATLA/LOK?
Damn I can't wait to binge it all

I mean Sozin committed genocide and then started a war that lasted a hundred years, so there was that. And without him, the fire nation colonies would't have existed; when I read that in the comics I was like yeah this is going to have major ramifications, and Aang sort of just let the next generation deal with it, no biggie.
I dont mind korra it has its good moments but man season 2 is rough lmao
I'm only 2 hours in but i love this video so much already. this show is so good and it's so weirdly controversial. it does deserve criticism but it's a great show overall!
As another comment said, Are there chances you'd do Star vs the forces of evil? I remember that alongside Gravity Falls and Steven Universe being some of the best cartoons of their time.
I remember how so many ppl just forgit about thks show after it ended bc rhey werent satisfied with the ending 😢 witch is reslly sad cause i luv that show and ppl were so hype evry new season. I also live this show so i hope tjey will react to it too
I’ll argue that Bolin is a stronger bender than Kuvira. Like straight up 1V1 Bolin should be able to beat her. Lava bender vs metal bender, I got lava every time. Surprised Bolin didn’t try to stop her himself. Granted that’s not his character trait nor his show but he could’ve done it himself 🤷🏽♂️
Say what you want but Korea is my favorite avatar I love the way she uses bending the aggressive style with bending that shouldn’t generally be aggressive, but she makes it her own
As much as I love Korra as a series I can't even begin to fathom what the writers were smoking when they came up with the romance. They made such egregiously terrible decisions literally frame one.
"Oh, we have this character in a very heavily pre-established relationship? Let's have our main character completely disregard that and confess to him, shooting her self image in the foot."
Genuine crackpot writing. And then you have the gall to immediately make the guy IN SAID PRE-ESTABLISHED RELATIONSHIP SUDDENLY GET JEALOUS? I felt so bad for Bolin AND Asami from season one because that is genuinely some of the most toxic shit.
Lord above I could rant forever on this, cuz even if they didn't make Mako a complete idiot, the fact that they already had Korra ignore the fact that he was in a relationship and confess to him made her look like she was absolutely ready to tear apart a complete stranger's relationship and was such a shit message for kids I just can't.
Dude toph just straight up on some level don't give a fuck bro like she's a badass
the metal bender toph dader move so good because they bend there armor to the derechine they want to go and the weat of the armor make momentom and they go flyng
