I think many of the issues in this series were pretty well done. With one exception. Korra and Asami. I'm not knocking what the creators were attempting to do with those two. I just wish that some sort of resolution had occurred with Korra and Mako. Because I really wanted to see them back together at the end and I wish something had happened that showed that it was impossible for that to happen. That's all I'm saying.
@@brokenbridge6316 Korra and Mako have resolution. Their romance didn't work but still stay friends that support each other. Korra and Asami build their relationship through last two seasons. Their relationship also symbolize entire theme of the show, conflict between tradition and progression, mystical and science, bending and technology, and how Balance can and is established.
It was heartbreaking how complicated Toph’s relationship with both her daughters was and how complicated the relationship between them was as well But still heartwarming how they made up and came together to fight Kuivira
@@jordandutra9029 they are different, I can't really say either are better than the other, Korra has better villains, Unalok was the least compelling but even there at least his forces believed they were doing the right thing.
When I first watched the first few episodes, I didn't really like how Korra seemed to be getting into so much trouble and dealing with misunderstandings. Yes, she's a teenager and it's ok for teens, especially role models like the Avatar, to make mistakes so everyone knows it's ok, but considering it was right at the beginning of the series I didn't get the best first impression. Aang was a troublemaker, but he was still a child. 112, yes, but he had been stuck in an ice burg for 100 years and didn't know what had happened to the world until Sokka and Katara showed him, and he realized he was the last of his people. He still joked around, but he was also able to mature and become a great leader. So, I decided to give LOK a second chance and realized how alike and just as incredible it was and fell in love.
@@cnsayin8847 She was actually great in all seasons. Book 1 and 2 are extremely underrated and misunderstood. Especially when you realize that every villain is some form of fascism. Equalists were non-bender supremacists and Unalaq was clero-fascist.
People don’t seem to realize that Aang and Korra grew up differently. Korra was sheltered from the world at such a young age because she was discovered as the avatar at a young age which caused her to act out like. Aang wasn’t discovered as the avatar until much later and he had traveled and understood other nations since it was shown he had friends from the Fire and Earth nations
@@F4keFelipx Oh I completely agree, I also think because they were both kids when it’s discovered they’re the Avatar so they have to grow up faster than normal. Korra is even in danger from the White Lotus. So it’s understandable why they act the way they do because they’re trying to adapt to new situations while also being responsible
@@F4keFelipx TLOK story is basically reverse ATLA, especially if you consider Book 2, 3 and 4 as separate story arc from Book 1( which was originally supposed to be self contained miniseries anyway). While Aang was prepared to fight world ending villain at the very end, Korra fight world ending villain at very beginning, and after that dealing with consequences and Changes, and again finding Balance for herself and the world. Basically to accept that it's all right that world peace and balance doesn't depend exclusively on her, other people are ready to help her.
Expecially considering the on off nature of its seasons getting approved. They had to make 3 separate endings, while also leaving them open for the slight possibility for more.
@@dearprincesscelestia6477 Yeah Korra gets a lot of crap for making mistakes, but those are what made her grow. While Aang seems to be excused for everything. Korra is a much different at the end of the series than she was at the beginning of it
@@claycowan1989 "While Aang seemed to be excused for everything." The exact reason I dislike the ATLA community. Their bias is stronger than the Avatar State.
You know, i ve always wanted a hero that became broken and that didnt quite get healed (or at least, not so soon). I've got my wish and i regret nothing
That's one of the reasons why the Avatar franchise is so popular, they're not afraid to talk about serious issues that plague our world. Even though The Legend of Korra wasn't as great as Avatar: The Last Airbender, it's still a gem in its own right.
The Legend of Korra is horrendously underrated and misunderstood show. Best way to watch is realizing that Book 1 is it's own more or less self contained miniseries, while Books 2, 3 and 4 made three part story arc (almost basically reverse ATLA story arc).
@@cnsayin8847 Main reason why Book 1 is basically self contained miniseries is because at the time they weren't sure if they would get more seasons. When they get green light for more seasons they choose to go more ambitious especially because Books 2, 3 and 4 were simultaneously in production. Story is basically reverse ATLA. In ATLA Aang fight world ending villain Ozai at the very end, while Korra fight world ending villains Unalaq and Vaatu at the very beginning and then dealing with changes and consequences they caused.
Kuvira becoming a dictator was an oversight on Zaheer's part. He couldn't have known that would happen if he went through with killing the Earth Queen, but it was still something he should have taken into consideration. Also, Kuvira is wrong. Korra wasn't the Avatar that everyone praised and held to a high regard. Her journey began with the world not needing the Avatar, or trying to move on from needing the Avatar, after going through 100 years with no Avatar around and the Fire Nation becoming power hungry until Avatar Aang and his friends defeated the Fire Lord, which led to Zuko becoming Fire Lord. Korra's journey went in the opposite direction of Aang's. He was needed as the Avatar but ran away from his responsibilities which led to the 100 year period of the Fire Nation's dominance, while she is trying to look for relevance as the Avatar after hearing stories about previous Avatars and their accomplishments. Both ended up where the other started from, forming a full circle.
No. The Avatar was still beloved by millions and held in high regard. Just not as revered as Aang because he was around when the world desperately needed the Avatar.
The Legend of Korra is DieselPunk fantasy. Main themes are conflicts between tradition and progression, mystical and science, bending and technology and Korra finding her place as person and Avatar in this new modern world. Also Avatar vs fascist movements, Equalists=non-bender supremacists, Unalaq=clero-fascism, Red Lotus= conservative "libertarianism", Kuvira=Nazis.
Honestly I ain't gon lie as much as aang and the rest of the gaang went through a lot with the fire nation, korra had to deal with a lot more dangerous people then aang. One she had to deal with amon, who was able to get rid of bending with his extreme psychic bloodbending, and who was only an issue cause aang never killed yakone. Then deal with spirits which was caused by Wan closing the spirit portal, had to fight a civil war in the water tribe all over some bs between the north and south thats been going on for years ago which again was out of her control, and pretty much had to fight a dark avatar. Then deal with villains who could actually destroy nations if they wanted to all cause instead of being executed was only giving life in prison, had to deal with the villain leader who who's an anarchist, and was also drugged. Then has to deal with kuvira, who at first only wanted su yin to lead ba sing se, but su yin have some bs reason as to why she didn't want to.
I would have to say Korra’s rage in the season 3 finale I mean after being poisoned and forced into the Avatar state she managed to unleash her rage on her enemies.
TLOK has one of the best portrayals of PTSD I've ever seen on television. Such a pity this show wasn't given the respect it deserved and fought tooth and nail to earn from Nickelodeon.
Korra and Asami's relationship is the right way of representation , it wasn't forced , intimidating or embarrassed like many others that try always to push it , their relationship was actually a really good thing and enjoyable , take notes on how to make it the right way
I honestly wish Korra was just Korra at the end as I kinda liked the idea of her being a strong female protagonist who didn't need romance in her story.
I admire how as an animated "kids show" (I say that as it was on Nickelodeon) was the first show that promoted an LGBT couple and their relationship in a positive way :) at the time it aired. At first I sort of felt like a little bit taken back as I didn't see it till the very end. But then I rewatched some episodes before the show finale and I definitely can now see the subtle sprinkles building between them of a deeper connection/relationship between them even in season 3!
When I first watched this some 10 yrs ago, I didn't really connect with Korra...I rewatched the series literally last month and was blown away at how amazing the series actually is, from the art work, to the characters and stories , it's amazing what time does to a person
it helps when you don't have to wait a week between each episode with Book 2, they didn't quite nail the pacing there like they had with the rest of the franchise.
It helps when you realize that show is DieselPunk fantasy that is dealing with typical themes of genre like conflict between tradition and progression, mystical (basically magic) and science, bending (basically superpowers) and technology. While Aang was dealing with world that desperately needed Avatar, Korra was dealing with world that maybe don't need Avatar anymore, every villains wants to get rid of Avatar or even replace it by any means including torture and attempted murder (also every villain was some form of fascism, non-benders supremacists, clero-fascism and Nazis).
As a young queer person, Korrasami will always hold a very special place in my heart, they really helped me realise that it's totally okay for me to like girls and that being lgbtq is beautiful.
Avatar The Last Airbender and Legend of Korra are great watches with satisfying endings. I watched them both for the first time in my 30s. They were wonderful.
Both TLA and LOK have intetesting mature storylines rivaling to anime. Something Netflix producers would never understand. The antagonists saw themselves as heroes and their ends just justified their means. I hope we get the proper sequel.
When I first watched Avatar especially about Aang I didn't really see how real and truly dark it was but I still really love and appreciate cause how it shows there is nothing wrong for being a little wrong, scared, clumsy, failing, falling etc...all these negatives emotions we feel at times are part of who we are because all these things are what makes us truly human and can make you a better person it you accept them and learn from them.
Tbh despite kinda liking ATLA a bit more , I still love LOK in it's own right , cause it did change my world view quite a lot(along side tumblr) , that and the continued rep , as well as lgbtqia+ friends and family helped me realize my gender and sexuality and accept it as is , so it'll always have the pedestal of my first lgbtqia+ cartoon , and the start of my journey to getting rid of the covert homophob** as well , so ya , I always say rep and exposure to this stuff is more important than people realize tbh , cause if it could help even one person break out of their surrounding homophob** or raci** background , it's well worth it
People underestimate and hate on Legends of chorus so much because they're looking for that nostalgic feel-good feel that The last Airbender brought I get it and his duty was to stop a war but Cora she dealt with some real shit and I love how each season was a different villain .... Or some better than others yes my favorite season will definitely be the season of The White lotus followed by kuvira then Amanda then raava.... However my favorite episodes are when we learn about the very first Avatar that's my favorite episode
Different villains, yes, but when you realize that Book 2, 3 and 4 make 3-part story arc where every villain action causes next villains to rise (also titles of seasons aren't random). Book 1 is basically more or less self contained miniseries (mostly because at the time they weren't sure that they will get more seasons).
A top 10 that finally came! Thank you so much! Can you please make a Top 10 moments in Pokemon that made us cry? For example, Mallow reunited with her deceased mother?
They certainly got the first part of the word "dictator" right about Kuvera. And she isn't the only one in the series that I noticed that acted like that.
I definitely think these characters would love Les Miserables and The Hunchback Of Notre Dame. They'd probably also like songs like Stairway To Heaven and Bohemian Rhapsody.

Toph is right about one thing about Korra’s enemies: people like Amon(equality for all) Zaheer (freedom from corrupt/oppressive governments and monarchs) and Kuvira (having no leadership is a bad thing and stability to the Earth Kingdom is important )really think they are the heroes of their own stories. While they are right, Korra’s enemies are totally out of balance and they have taken their political ideologies way too far. They are not your typical baddies as Firelord Ozai or Azula. However, taking ideologies to extreme lengths is basically what happened to Firelord Sozin before and during the 100 year war.
I'd just switch places to one and two. This list is great and shows that TLOK is just as good as ATLA by stories and topics we get to see. ATLA just has more small details that make it better for watching, but both stories are really great
I already wrote this but in a reply. I want to paste it here so it is more visible (even if this still is ignored) In regards to Korra and Asami's relationship: There was build up to it. To those who think there was no build up, my guess is they just weren't paying attention. Throughout the show we saw Korra and Asami growing closer, valuing each other's abilities and caring for each other. They went from strangers, to friends and confidants, to lovers. And it was well done. Their relationship really grew organically and not forced at all. To say they got together just in the end would be correct but only in the sense that yes, by going on a vacation together they are admiting/acknowledging that they want to be with the other. But that doesn't mean they just fell in love with each other. And the graphic novel Turf Wars expresses as such. It was between Books 3 and 4 that they realized they had feelings for each other. They just couldn't dedicate too much time to it because of Korra's recovery, Asami being busy with helping in the city and her farther in prison trying to reconnect with her, Korra having to deal with Kuvira's conqueror's streak, etc. There was too much going on around them to actually have the time to sit and talk about it. But that doesn't mean those feelings weren't there. Of course that would be the "in universe" explanation of what happened. But the "reality" explanation is that Bryan and Mike had to do their best to convey these two women falling in love with each other with the Nickelodeon executives pretty much breathing on their necks. Nickelodeon had already tried taking down the show for dumb reasons, Korra being a female protagonist being the biggest issue for them, which sucks. So of course Bryan and Mike couldn't possibly show two women talking explicitly about loving each other or kissing without the risk of Nickelodeon executives pulling the plug on them just like that. Also, in my personal opinion, I'm more than ok with the show not having Korra and Asami kiss at the end of the show because even if they've been friends for years, they were just starting a new relationship. Not everything has to be conveyed through a kiss on the lips and the ending is way more believable and endearing as it is. Them having their first kiss on their vacation in the Spirit World makes more sense (and the scene is really sweet).
About Korrasami, it isn't exactly what we should keep doing with LGBT rep but it was perfect, and here's why. First off Korra made history with this being the first cartoon of it's time to include a gay love relationship meaning that of course they weren't really allowed to show it or express it but it allowed for us to have shows like Adventure Time and Steven Universe go running. And the buildup was gonna be sparse because of that but I honestly think it works perfectly, the show couldn't flesh out so many characters and its messy with it, but they did establish Korra and Asami building a bond which in return ended the show with it starting a relationship after Korra finally is in a place where she is mentally well enough to do so.
I love how Indepth it was when talking about the LGBT in the world of avatar: - earth kingdon is complicated and a bit natural about this topic - fire nation is similar to earth kingdom until zozien made it homophobia and banned same sex relationships - while air nomads are very open about this topic which is why the 100 year world to them is so sad. - waterbender nation's did accept but to kept quiet for heritage and society purposes. It's kind of fascinating they put this in their own fiction world while putting the history of how same sex relationships in different countries change and react in different ways and slowly making way while still have difficulties along the way. So thank you writers for putting this topic while still making it inventive in their world.
The main problem with the anarchy theory is that no matter what people seek Structure in Chaos. Every time there will either a group or a single person to bring people together to lead them, for better or worse. It is a cycle repeated through history. Anarchy can rein, but only for a short time, eventually the masses will always look to something or someone higher to give them purpose and structure. Then it all falls apart because people get upset with their lot in the grand scheme, and it starts all over again.
Like Bruce Wayne? Nah if any character is like Bruce Wayne, that would be Asami. Rich, not having superpowers, super genius, great with technology and is great fighter.
the problem i had with korra and asami getting together in the ending was that it felt forced and came out of nowhere since they never had any romantic connection or tension throughout the series then they made the comics where they explored further into their relationship and coming out
Their relationship is built up especially in last two seasons. Ending of Book 3 was heartbreaking especially when Asami said that she will be here if Korra wants to talk or anything.
@@n7jaeger974 Many romances started with friendship. Asami was always one of people who trust Korra the most and was huge emotional and moral support for Korra especially at the end of Book 3.
I was picking up on the seeds being planted in Book 3, and I was surprised and happy that the final scene of the series did what it did. That paved the way for animated shows like She-Ra and Harley Quinn to show main characters in LGBTQ relationships.
Asami was willing to leave her whole life to support Korra. Korra wrote letters only to Asami and not Mako and Bolin. Korra blushed when Asami complimented her hair. It wasn't a lot but there was still buildup. It didn't come out of nowhere. They were limited by what they could show onscreen by Nicklodeon.
I like Legend of Korra, but I don’t favor it. I really don’t like the relationship between Korra and Mako, and I really really don’t like the gayness at the end🤢
Well that is not up to you to decide who a person can or can't have a relationship with it is thiers and frankly it isn't really your business in the first place.

Avatar The Last Airbender and Legend of Korra are great watches with satisfying endings. I watched them both for the first time in my 30s. They were wonderful.
Both TLA and LOK have intetesting mature storylines rivaling to anime. Something Netflix producers would never understand. The antagonists saw themselves as heroes and their ends just justified their means. I hope we get the proper sequel.
Netflix might be able to if collaborating with Nickelodeon
Toph really helps Korra with her ptsd. Way to go toph✌️✌️✌️
When I first watched Avatar especially about Aang I didn't really see how real and truly dark it was but I still really love and appreciate cause how it shows there is nothing wrong for being a little wrong, scared, clumsy, failing, falling etc...all these negatives emotions we feel at times are part of who we are because all these things are what makes us truly human and can make you a better person it you accept them and learn from them.

Korras sad faces always get me.
Tbh despite kinda liking ATLA a bit more , I still love LOK in it's own right , cause it did change my world view quite a lot(along side tumblr) , that and the continued rep , as well as lgbtqia+ friends and family helped me realize my gender and sexuality and accept it as is , so it'll always have the pedestal of my first lgbtqia+ cartoon , and the start of my journey to getting rid of the covert homophob** as well , so ya , I always say rep and exposure to this stuff is more important than people realize tbh , cause if it could help even one person break out of their surrounding homophob** or raci** background , it's well worth it

People underestimate and hate on Legends of chorus so much because they're looking for that nostalgic feel-good feel that The last Airbender brought I get it and his duty was to stop a war but Cora she dealt with some real shit and I love how each season was a different villain .... Or some better than others yes my favorite season will definitely be the season of The White lotus followed by kuvira then Amanda then raava.... However my favorite episodes are when we learn about the very first Avatar that's my favorite episode
Different villains, yes, but when you realize that Book 2, 3 and 4 make 3-part story arc where every villain action causes next villains to rise (also titles of seasons aren't random).
Book 1 is basically more or less self contained miniseries (mostly because at the time they weren't sure that they will get more seasons).
A top 10 that finally came! Thank you so much! Can you please make a Top 10 moments in Pokemon that made us cry? For example, Mallow reunited with her deceased mother?
Nickelodeon needs to bring back these dramatic cartoons.
They certainly got the first part of the word "dictator" right about Kuvera. And she isn't the only one in the series that I noticed that acted like that.
I definitely think these characters would love Les Miserables and The Hunchback Of Notre Dame. They'd probably also like songs like Stairway To Heaven and Bohemian Rhapsody.
I have no idea how The Earth King raised his daughter. Pretty sure he wouldn’t be too pleased

190: Had a strong feeling that PTSD is going to be number one. Although Leonardo had the same thing but Korra had worse. Who can blame her?
Today I was just thinking if msmojo did this list
Toph is right about one thing about Korra’s enemies:
people like Amon(equality for all) Zaheer (freedom from corrupt/oppressive governments and monarchs) and Kuvira (having no leadership is a bad thing and stability to the Earth Kingdom is important )really think they are the heroes of their own stories.
While they are right, Korra’s enemies are totally out of balance and they have taken their political ideologies way too far. They are not your typical baddies as Firelord Ozai or Azula. However, taking ideologies to extreme lengths is basically what happened to Firelord Sozin before and during the 100 year war.

188: Honestly, all of the above
I'd just switch places to one and two. This list is great and shows that TLOK is just as good as ATLA by stories and topics we get to see. ATLA just has more small details that make it better for watching, but both stories are really great
I already wrote this but in a reply. I want to paste it here so it is more visible (even if this still is ignored)
In regards to Korra and Asami's relationship: There was build up to it.
To those who think there was no build up, my guess is they just weren't paying attention.
Throughout the show we saw Korra and Asami growing closer, valuing each other's abilities and caring for each other. They went from strangers, to friends and confidants, to lovers. And it was well done. Their relationship really grew organically and not forced at all.
To say they got together just in the end would be correct but only in the sense that yes, by going on a vacation together they are admiting/acknowledging that they want to be with the other. But that doesn't mean they just fell in love with each other. And the graphic novel Turf Wars expresses as such. It was between Books 3 and 4 that they realized they had feelings for each other. They just couldn't dedicate too much time to it because of Korra's recovery, Asami being busy with helping in the city and her farther in prison trying to reconnect with her, Korra having to deal with Kuvira's conqueror's streak, etc. There was too much going on around them to actually have the time to sit and talk about it. But that doesn't mean those feelings weren't there.
Of course that would be the "in universe" explanation of what happened. But the "reality" explanation is that Bryan and Mike had to do their best to convey these two women falling in love with each other with the Nickelodeon executives pretty much breathing on their necks. Nickelodeon had already tried taking down the show for dumb reasons, Korra being a female protagonist being the biggest issue for them, which sucks. So of course Bryan and Mike couldn't possibly show two women talking explicitly about loving each other or kissing without the risk of Nickelodeon executives pulling the plug on them just like that.
Also, in my personal opinion, I'm more than ok with the show not having Korra and Asami kiss at the end of the show because even if they've been friends for years, they were just starting a new relationship. Not everything has to be conveyed through a kiss on the lips and the ending is way more believable and endearing as it is.
Them having their first kiss on their vacation in the Spirit World makes more sense (and the scene is really sweet).
Hhmmm
Idc about any ship but my man Bolin he needed more play. 😎
If you're able to find more for avatar The last Airbender this time, eventual part two please
Awesome and cool! :D
Yup. I love the show.
Again avatar talking About serious issues makes it amazing to watch
About Korrasami, it isn't exactly what we should keep doing with LGBT rep but it was perfect, and here's why. First off Korra made history with this being the first cartoon of it's time to include a gay love relationship meaning that of course they weren't really allowed to show it or express it but it allowed for us to have shows like Adventure Time and Steven Universe go running.
And the buildup was gonna be sparse because of that but I honestly think it works perfectly, the show couldn't flesh out so many characters and its messy with it, but they did establish Korra and Asami building a bond which in return ended the show with it starting a relationship after Korra finally is in a place where she is mentally well enough to do so.
I love how Indepth it was when talking about the LGBT in the world of avatar:
- earth kingdon is complicated and a bit natural about this topic
- fire nation is similar to earth kingdom until zozien made it homophobia and banned same sex relationships
- while air nomads are very open about this topic which is why the 100 year world to them is so sad.
- waterbender nation's did accept but to kept quiet for heritage and society purposes.
It's kind of fascinating they put this in their own fiction world while putting the history of how same sex relationships in different countries change and react in different ways and slowly making way while still have difficulties along the way.
So thank you writers for putting this topic while still making it inventive in their world.
Can you upload Top 10 Times The Princess and the Frog copied The Swan Princess next?
Didn't Kuvira also out people in "camps" to adjust their attitude? We know what those are in history...
The main problem with the anarchy theory is that no matter what people seek Structure in Chaos. Every time there will either a group or a single person to bring people together to lead them, for better or worse. It is a cycle repeated through history. Anarchy can rein, but only for a short time, eventually the masses will always look to something or someone higher to give them purpose and structure. Then it all falls apart because people get upset with their lot in the grand scheme, and it starts all over again.
I love how you didn't even mention that the earth queen made an air bending army. there was even kai there. a CHILD.

You forgot Suicide remember when Noatak and the Council's death
One of the most powerful series I ever see in all my life's
I have no problem with both Korra and Asami being a bi couple.
The legend of Korra is a amazing show
Non-benders & Marvel's non-mutants have one thing in common: BOTH GROUPS ARE BITTERLY INSECURE & JEALOUS BASELINE HUMANS
Not all non-benders. Equalists were basically non-bender supremacists. Hiroshi Sato was inspired by Henry Ford who was known for his racist beliefs.
@@ExtremeMadnessX sounds similar enough to the anti-mutant groups that both franchises' baseline humans DESERVE TO BE EXTINCT
So True.
Mako got shafted 💯%
The red lotus were my favorite villains in korra. They were right to call out the corrupt queen and people in power but their actions were evil.
why did they stop at season 4 why most of us loved it
4:22 - 5:07 The Queen is the reason Bonsinsa was in a poor quality
Yes, politics is a mess.
Sometimes i forget this was a kids show
Just watch some Bolin or Varrick scenes. You’ll be reminded pretty fast that it’s a kids show
I think 5 should have focus on ethnic cleansing base on how he wanted to erase the southren water tribe entirely.
I did watch it and it was okay. The art was nice it just took me awhile to like Korra.
I kinda stopped liking Mako by season 2

The show had its flaws, but it was able to deal with issues like trauma, family estrangement and living in your parents shadow

Like Bruce Wayne? Nah if any character is like Bruce Wayne, that would be Asami. Rich, not having superpowers, super genius, great with technology and is great fighter.
@@ExtremeMadnessX in a way, yes.
the problem i had with korra and asami getting together in the ending was that it felt forced and came out of nowhere
since they never had any romantic connection or tension throughout the series
then they made the comics where they explored further into their relationship and coming out
Their relationship is built up especially in last two seasons. Ending of Book 3 was heartbreaking especially when Asami said that she will be here if Korra wants to talk or anything.
@@ExtremeMadnessX as a friend
Keyword friend
Not as a romance
@@n7jaeger974 Many romances started with friendship. Asami was always one of people who trust Korra the most and was huge emotional and moral support for Korra especially at the end of Book 3.
I was picking up on the seeds being planted in Book 3, and I was surprised and happy that the final scene of the series did what it did.
That paved the way for animated shows like She-Ra and Harley Quinn to show main characters in LGBTQ relationships.
Asami was willing to leave her whole life to support Korra. Korra wrote letters only to Asami and not Mako and Bolin. Korra blushed when Asami complimented her hair. It wasn't a lot but there was still buildup. It didn't come out of nowhere. They were limited by what they could show onscreen by Nicklodeon.
7:45 it's hard to tell if Amon's ideology could be considered as facism or communist🤔
Possibly, both!
❤❤❤
This was a great show one of the best ever
I was shipping Korra and Asami from the very beginning.
I'm just imagining you just screaming when you realized it was canon.
oh man
🥰
Kuvera is a woman version of Hitler and Lenin. 😮😮
My thoughts exactly
💛💛💛
This is why Avatar: The Last Airbender is way much better than The Legend of Korra.
What
Avatar tackled its share of issues.
They are both equal.
no
Can't people just accept they both are different in thier own ways and more on instead of constantly fighting.
First...
What a waste of a comment nobody cares that you think you are first
No one cares
Who cares about what number comment you are
I like Legend of Korra, but I don’t favor it. I really don’t like the relationship between Korra and Mako, and I really really don’t like the gayness at the end🤢
I understand it. But I do like the show.
Lol you are triggered by gay people 😂 😂 You sound stupid my friend
why don't you like the gayness?
i feel like korra should of stayed with mako in my eyes they were a better couple
No.
Well that is not up to you to decide who a person can or can't have a relationship with it is thiers and frankly it isn't really your business in the first place.
ATLA >> kora
I'm not into Bi relationships
I don't want to be hated for being straight
This is my own thoughts so please don't judge me
Nobody was ever hated for being straight. People are hated for being bigots.
@@ExtremeMadnessX yeah, And I would rather not be one of those people
