*Korra acting like b*** because the plot said so* YES!! I’m not the only one who felt Korra’s insufferable attitude felt incredibly forced and unnecessary. Note to future writers, you can make a character flawed but flawed doesn’t mean a lack of redeeming qualities. Also, don’t sacrifice character development for the sake of plot, because then the characters are no longer characters but chess pieces to move the plot forward.
I feel like SW took their lead character too far in one direction (far too good and lacking flaws) and LoK took their main character too far in the "insufferable"/flawed direction
Exactly! Even the best plot-driven stories can have nicely-written characters because essentially the characters' choices and motivations are what drive the plot. I feel like season 1's Equalist plotline had the potential to do that. By throwing modern problems at the characters and we'd get to see how they handle it. If anything, it could potentially be a critique on American government today.

There is so a live action Avatar movie... but what do Blue Alien Cat People who essentially have sex with everything through their hair, have to do with Korra or Aang?
you know, I realized the difference between Avatar and Korra. In Avatar, we were watching a group of people exploring the world and reacting to the plot, but the focus was always on the characters. In Korra, the plot is the main focus, with the characters second (or even 3rd, in some cases)
No. That would be the movie that we don't talk about. Korra Book 2 was more or less just flu season. Annoying to have, but nothing to get excited about.
@@vetarlittorf1807 the way the spiritual stuff works... For example when Iroh told Korra that in the spirit world her emotions becomes her reality, she has a different experience of the spirit world than Ginora (sorry, I don't know how it's written) she turns small and can make the world look good or bad just with her emotions and affect the other spirits. But that although it's a cool concept, it's not compatible with ATLA spirit world, which is mostly mysterious and misty. When Aang sees Ko he must avoid displaying any emotion so all. And the fact that in ATLA the spirit world is more mysterious and creepy, according to Korra's logic, would mean Aang is just upset and afraid all the time and has a lot of bad energy, which doesn't make sense since he is your 100% spiritual little chill friendly monk. Also there are no dark spirits in ATLA, there are creepy ones, yes but not dark like the ones in s2. I remember that the spirits were upset and Vatoo,s evil grew, corrupting them and changing their colour palette. In ATLA that doesn't happen, remember the panda spirit? He changed his aparience into a scary giant beast, but wasn't corrupt, he was just understandably upset and Aang could convince him and give him hope that the forest would grow back. In Korra the spirits are more like possessed by Vatoo when they get mad and you can't reason with them, they even have evil smiles in some cases. You know, I don't say this to start arguing or anything, I just point out what I believe is a change in the lore due to short time, pressure from Nickelodeon to make more avatar stuff and the absence of Aaron Ehasz and other ATLA writers on Korra, which lead to inconsistencies since another people had to write this. So I hope I'm not making this effort just to be called a hater or something. I really mean what I say. Another thing is Rava and Vatoo. You may argue that since they are so ancient they may not appear in ATLA. But their relation and symbolism is so different from the ATLA spirits and bending. While in ATLA the theme always centred around humans having the capacity of doing both good and evil, and the spirits being portrayed as mostly impartial beans which either are reasonably upset with the humans like the forest spirit and Wan Shi tong, but not really being evil, or either actively helping them out like the painted lady or tui and La. Some are even more natural, mysterious powerful beings that make characters approaching them with great respect, and not even Ko, which is the creepiest and maybe evil of them all really would feel like he's corrupted. In Korra they are, and Rava and Vatoo are literally good and evil fighting each other. In ATLA tri and La represented the yin yang concept and symbolize the cooperation between to different entities to achieve harmony. But Rava and Vatoo, even if they obviously were designed to resemble yin and yang (again) they are just pure good and pure evil. A very judeochristian approach, very western compared to ATLA's asian concepts and philosophy in which doesn't have this God vs devil kind of narrative. That makes the avatar a different thing as well. In ATLA the avatar was the only one who could bend all four elements, he or she was the protector of nature and balance keeper. The avatar was the reincarnation of a spirit that had to watch over humanity and nature, in the Nickelodeon page they originally called it the spirit of the planet. In Korra the avatar is not a force of nature but rather good personified. Since Rava is pure good, the avatar is (again) too western. Korra is basically kung fu Jesus. Instead of making a backstory of an avatar that got corrupted due to so much power and turning into a tirant or evil, they instead made another avatar, a "dark one" that represents pure evil and fights with the good avatar... like the apocalypse and the antichrist and Satan fighting God and Jesus... I swear I'm not just assuming this similar to Christianity. The concept of good vs evil is 100% judeochristian, and doesn't fit at all with the asian philosophy that ATLA had. Also the spirits in ATLA always had a nature kind of design and were always resembling animals and natural elements like moon or forest. In Korra although there are animal spirits, there are also weird stuff inspired by some japanese author I don't remember, like the one with a poker face. But that even if is different, I don't think it's too important so I'm cool with it. Another thing is Korra becoming a blue giant. Yes, she absorbed the Cosmic energy which Aang didn't. But, but. The way Korra did it was so different, so easy, and she shouldn't even be able to do it. In ATLA Aang had to unlock all the chakras, experiencing all kind of emotional challenges and introspection. Korra just sat on the tree of time and went directly to the cosmos. Chakras are not even mentioned in Korra and she didn't unlock them. But let's go to the point. When aang entered that cosmic plane and saw that giant alter ego of his, he had to detach himself from his world bowndries and forget them, the conflict being if one is ok with being incredible power at the cost of forgetting their loved ones and any kind of attachment, becoming a distant and cold being, since the Cosmic energy will only flow to them if they forget those attachments. The scene starts with guru patik saying "let go of all your atatchments" but when Korra entered the Cosmic plane the phrase was much more lame and boring "find the light in the darkness"... And she just entered that ball and gain a giant spirit alter ego when the idea was simply to unlock aangs already existing powers. In Korra this was like a power up, she already could control the avatar state... without all of this... she is supposed to be the avatar with the less connection to her spirituality. That's cool. But she basically surpasses Aang in the spiritual field. And she never had to let her attachments go to control the avatar state or to get this blue Korra power up. Aang didn't let them go either, sure, but he achieved that in the last episode after so much introspection and revelations and meditation. Which Korra at first couldnt even do. The way the Cosmic energy thing works is very very different and has no drawback. You may argue that Korra was in a spiritual place, sure, but that's the tree of time, not the tree of the forehead chakra. Also concept of the animals being the first benders is completely lost here and are the fans the ones who try to find a way of having avatar wan's backstory fit into the ATLA world. Korra doesn't even try to a dress it, so now, instead of the moon spirit being the first waterbender or the dragons being the first firebenders, in Korra they maybe are just a kind of alternative teachers... Also the fire sages can use firebending to heal... whaaat? THERE are many more. But I've been writing this for ages. The more you watch Korra and the more you think about it, the more inconsistencies you see, but the season 2 are the worst because they act as a prequel and actively influence and changes the last airbender lore
Unalaq’s whole invasion of the South Pole never made any sense if you know his real plan. He wants both spirit portals to open up and unleash the avatar equivalent of the devil to become the dark avatar and take over the world. So after getting Korra completely on his side and opening the southern portal, all he literally had to do afterward was take Korra to the North pole, open the northern portal, and just wait out til HC comes by with Korra not knowing anything and away from her friends. But instead he invades the south pole and wastes his limited time occupying the southerns despite the fact they have absolutely nothing to do with anything with the plan and wouldn’t have cared if he didn’t make obvious big deal about it. All it accomplished was slowly distance Korra away from him which is the last thing he wants since the avatar is literally the only way of opening the other portal. Hell even if he really wanted to do the southern occupation thing, he could've just had Korra and him leave the south pole to the north pole and AFTER she is gone invade and take over the south without Korra knowing any better. After Korra escaped from the south pole, all Korra had to do was literally nothing and his plan fails once HC passes.
yeah Unalaq was really kind of stupid, and Zaheer too because he initiated bad anarchism in the earth kingdom and didnt expect a totalitarian dictator to move in.
He really hates his brother. That's literally the only reason he tried to enslave the south. It was too personal for him, and he had to do it before becoming a cosmic being. No matter how smart someone is, it does stop them from being really salty about certain situation/people. Pearl aka SaltBae, did a lot of stupid shit contrary to the Crystal gems' ultimate goals.
@@Chemeleon15 Well again he could’ve invaded AFTER Korra was out and on her way to the North Pole. There was no real need for her to be there anymore. And would it all really matter to him anyway if he is going to become basically the anti-Christ and rule the whole world with his vast power and the spirits, why waste time on something he is going to get anyway.
Aka lazy writing by the creators who decided to just drop the most interesting part of the season (aka a Civil War with personal dilemmas for Korra, a great starting point) to just introduce some unnecessary information and drop the initial story entirely to channel it into a giant GOOD VS EVIL battle (totally nonsensical I dare to add) that decides the destiny of the entire universe. Okookkkk
Lord Toademort the problem is not “the character is stupid”; rather it is “the writers didn’t put enough effort to proceed toward a cohesive narrative who could have become amazing”
To be honest, while its nowhere close to ATLA, I still like the legend of Korra as a show. But I do agree that it has lots of issues and book 2 was definitely one of them which is honestly sad. I really think it would have been better if Korra really did lose her bending at the end of Book 1 and book 2 would ( while the civil war was still happening ) focus on Korra reconnecting to her lost elements through more spiritual training, world travelling and advice from her past lives. I truly think Book two would've been stellar had it gone this route instead. What do y'all think.
@@barbaraw1245 Yes! And I think another neat touch would be this. Just like how Roku mainly guided Aang on his journey to bring peace back to the warring nations, Aang guides Korra in her quest as she matures spiritually, regaining her bending, and eventually returns home to bring balance to the warring Northern and Southern tribes before it becomes all out war.
@@toonist180 Yess! And by the end of the season Korra can be much much wiser because she has learn from the world the different cultures and philosophy each nation has. Let Korra help the people with their problems and be the avatar the world needs!
this is so true. I thought it was completely wrong that korra lost her bending for like 5 seconds and then she cries and aang shows up and gives her her bending and the avatar state?? like I wish they had focused on the pain that she was in for longer. That could’ve been an amazing story about realizing that she isn’t just her abilities but then she just gets it handed to her.
Cause Korra focused more on the physical responsibilities of the avatar, and then refused to train the spiritual side until she was absolutely forced to. And then after the second season, she couldn't have any help because she lost the avatar spirit.
There is also the second problem with the spirits portals is that spirits could already enter the physical world but those spirits were the either the most intelligent and peaceful or GOD tier powerful! There was no point in leaving the spirit gates open and there is also the issue of the weaker spirits turning people in half tree/animals monsters! Now spirits like koh who could enter the physical world during solstices now can go in and out whenever he pleases! Well don’t be surprised if a few people are missing their face in the next avatar series.
Indeed. Spirits in TLoK were first shown to be invasive beings that didn't give a shit about humans, similar to some of the traits that were shown in ATLA (though in ATLA the spirits have more mysterious motives than invading the material realm), but outta nowhere they have become pokemons that just exist to be admired and petted, and sometimes avoided cause they don't like to be bothered. It's so strange and we were given no explenation for the behaviour change.
Well there is the possibility that not all the spirits went back when Wan sealed themselves off. Also they said Winter Solstice Festival in Legend of Korra and also those spirits was beating her whole ass so they were powerful around this time and her uncle manipulated a lot of them as well.
Let's just take the time to acknowledge how hard to make this video probably was I mean he had to actually remember season 2 well enough to summarize it
Because mako and asami are window dressing caracthers, khora is an asshole because the wirther made her to be "not ang" and this is why idint finish season 4.
Kazuki because they wanted to create a shallow love triangle that teenage girls would eat up in seconds to make the show interesting for anquote on quote mature like people were shipping mako and korra before the freaking show even aired dude
Because the "creators" didn't understand how to function in their own relationships much less write decent ones. They saw Katara's and Zuko's popularity and took all the superficial aspects of their characters and threw it on the screen in the form of Korra and Mako.
To be fair, season 2 had some redeeming qualities. It introduced Eska, Desna and Varick, all great characters. I do kinda like the Varrik Bolin duo, and I also think Tenzin, Boomi, and Kaya's arc was nice. Boomi Jr is fun, and Ginora's sprit world arc is cool (Even though it gets kinda crazy with her harmonic convergence powers lol. But honestly it basically went full anime with the end.) The worst part about season 2 is how it retcon's and dumbs-down some of Avatar's mythology, simplifying the avatar spirit lore, and yeah dark avatar thing was stupid. And of course the love triangle shipping war nonsense is terrible. I want a re-write where korrasami was the main ship from the start.
Kasi I actually like how they to explain the origins of the avatar and jinora getting more involve in spirit stuff also I liked how bolin and asami got to actually interact and actually hung out which is something that the show needed to do more have characters hang out and interact and I liked how korra and mako got to talk to each other without yelling well until it got ruined and stuff but oh well life goes on
They dropped the ball because the Avatar is meant to be all about balance and so far was heavily inspired by eastern mythology/religion/point of view, with Raava and Vaatu obviously being based on the ying-yang....but nah, let's make them not-Satan and not-God, because nothing says balance like inherently good vs inherently evil *slow clap*
Carla Carrero sorry but the origins are terrible because rot retcons the entire series of avatar the last air bender Rava and vatu were never spoken about and randomly thought up in Korra Everyone can just gain bending when it was stated they learned them from animals or the moon things of that nature. There is much more that just gets retconned but that’ll make this message too long.
Scrub Lord well I can respect that but I’ve seen the original and to be honest the show never really says that people got their bending by being taught by animals what the show really wanted to say is that the animals like the moles and the dragons have different methods that can help a bender practice and master their bending in order to be stronger not that they get their bending from them but I do think that the whole korra will never disappear from the avatar state is pretty bad written and doesn’t make sense
Carla Carrero actually the show has stated that fire benders learned to bend from dragons Water benders learned from the push and pull of the moon Earth benders learned from badger moles And air benders learned from sky bison the show states this is the case and then the lion turtle bs(which is a flaw of avatar as well not just of korra) exists now and takes place over that.
Asami and Lin done dirty in this season. And I never hated Korra more 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ A part of me is sad that it took amnesia for her to become a better character. But at the same time, thank God that reset button was hit.
Thanks for reminding me how boring this season was. I seriously forgot most things which happened in there. This made me realize how much I'm looking forward to Season 3.
As much as I love TLOK and really enjoy it, these sarcastic videos are just too true. I really love how after mako breaks up with Korea nobody wonders where she is for like 3 episodes
I say season 1 is more of the filler season, considering other then introducing the characters and this new world nothing else in it matters. Amon and his revolution is hardly mentioned again and all of the non-bending society issues had just magically disappeared after they elected some non-bending president. Asami’s dad was also arrested but that plot point then come up again until all the way to season 4 and that mostly amount to nothing after his death. Season 2 is bad but at least some of the stuff that happened in it namely in it's last episode like the airbenders return, the spirit vines, and the spirits themselves affecting the lives of Republic city that did affect the plot to the later seasons, and characters like Varrick did come back and had an impact on seasons 3 and 4.
Brandon Lyon Season 1 isn’t filler, they got a nonbender president because of the revolution. Korra learned airbending too, unlike her cool spirit powers which she never uses again because “it’s not filler.”.
Yes I like both your sarcastic summary and review one is for shits and giggles while the other is more serious and you get more into detail about the episodes and how you feel about them
About the only thing I liked about Season 2 was the show realizing how bad the Korra/Mako relationship was and actively shutting it down. It was still a plot tumor for far too long, but it was interesting to see.
Richard Barnes as a makorra fan I do respect how they acknowledge and realized that the relationship had a lot of problems and gave it a good break up where the two can still be on good terms with each other unlike cough cough star vs the forces of evil
Eduardo Souza to be fair korra started this too with the whole kissing a guy who clearly has a girlfriend with out his consent you know the thing that zutara shippers shit on aang for in the original series ?
Hell yeah! 1st time I caught a video so early. Love your sarcasm and humorous take on shows. Keep up the amazing work They should've ended it after season 1... Everything was downhill from there.
Lol I may be the only person who actually enjoyed this season. I like the spiritual stuff, and really loved the first avatar tidbits, especially the art design in those flashbacks.
That was the only good part of the whole season (the spirits and the Avatar Wan flashback). Everything else felt pointless, unneeded, or stupid, making the season bad compared to the others.
Agree, my favorite part is Korra found herself much more valuable than she thought. She was always haunted by the fact that she was the avatar. She wanted to be a good avatar but everyone seems to againts it. She was expected to be an adult when everyone treated her like kid or simply didn't want her around (like equalist). So when she lost her connection, she thought she was hopeless, she couldn't save the world without that, and the darkness would win. But she was wrong. Being able to saw "who" she was, not just "what" she was actually really amazing. You can't be defined just by one thing, if someone said "I'm an avatar" it's really unclear, is it Korra? Aang? Roku? Or wan? Because there were many avatars Korra must not define herself only as "avatar" She was an avatar, she was a teenager, she was from south water tribe, she was a girl, she was Tenzin's student and there were many things who made her "Korra" You can't lose yourself just because you lose one thing. She was still an airbender, firebender, earthbender and waterbender. And there were many people support her, she wasn't alone. She still could fulfil her duty.
honestly i feel so bad for the avatars before her having to pass down their state to this train wreck, something she did pissed me off and i really wish you can delete a show from existing
@@shrekisthebestfranchiseand5032 M Night has nothing to do with the new live action avatar series. It’s a different crew and the original creators are actually directly to involved in the production this time.
01:00 - !! _Please_ tell me long-haired glasses girl isn't just a throwaway character! Tell me she's _at least_ an occasional extra! Her design is so _adorable!_ ;v;
it was the writers’ fault because in ATLA it is shown that the previous avatar is supposed to be the mentor for the current avatar. In LOK, they wrote Adult aang so horribly. They never talk about aang unless it’s his children complaining about him. The only time he shows up was to restore korra’s bending and just disappears which was utter bullshit because now we know that aang could willingly visit korra and we ALL know he would have been the best mentor. The thing that pissed me off the most was that he was nerfed. His achievements and power in ATLA, despite him being a child, was amazing and interesting. I thought he was going to be the most powerful avatar in existence and I was excited to see prime aang. Turns out they portrayed him weakly and his power during the avatar state was weak as well compared to ATLA which doesn’t make sense. To top it all off, his soul along with all the other important avatars such as roku and kyoshi were deleted out of existence. In conclusion, LOK completely ruined their chance of making the show better than it is now
Do y’all not realize that was not possible. Nickelodeon asked for one season from the creators, so they gave them one season. They didn’t have a plan for a season 2. But Nickelodeon was like “Damn this is pretty good, go ahead and give us a second season.” So there was no plot continuation from season 1 to 2. It’s not the creators fault. Had Nickelodeon allowed the creators to create all four seasons from the beginning, we might’ve had something completely different.
“Rethinking her marriage Pemma gets off free because she’s a woman” LMAOO that’s exactly what I was thinking like she did the same exact things as the men 😂😂😂
Nah, Korra is worse because no one is actually liking the movie so we collectively ignore it but there are people who like LOK(even more than ATLA) and shove this broken mess into the whole franchise.
@@HimitsuHunter Season 2 of korra is worse though because at least we can forget the movie exists. In any talk about avatar we can't forget season 2 and how it fucks the world building.

@@TheBiggestMoronYouKnow Agreed, tho as the years go by I try to look it from others' perspective and trying to be more forgiving. However I can not ever forgive season 2 and what it has brought to later seasons *coughpokemonscough.

@@TheBiggestMoronYouKnow Many people's head-canons stopped with ATLA, some don't even consider Kyoshi's prequels and ATLA comics canon either. Of course, the liveaction is off limits to everyone's head-canon though, that shit unites us against it.
"the avatar state is NOT a booster rocket!" -Tenzin Yeah, it really is just treated as such by now. She even gets a power boost in seasons 3 and 4 despite the fact that her connection to the previous avatars is broken at the climax of this season, and by extension, the wisdom and power of the previous avatars should be lost.
Carla Carrero yh but most people hate mako (in the show) and the actor who was named after him voiced iroh who is one of the best characters so it’s not the best tribute
Sarcastic cores: telling you the truth no matter how much it hurts And boy does it, but it's the good pain, because while this might be the darkest chapter of the avatar franchise. The third worst thing asosated with the name avatar.
Honestly, besides parts of season 3 and itty bits of season 4, this show would've been so much harder to get through if I wasn't binge watching with a friend
Even though this season is the worst, it was probably Varrick’s strongest showing. I liked him as a secondary main villain and found his turn as 100% comedic relief and eventual good guy to be incredibly forced.
Totally agree. I really liked TLOK Air (didn't even watch ATLA except for first episode) and season two episode one suddenly Korra is regressed in her personality development to an impulsive brat, once again she resents Tenzin, once again is completely manipulated by an oily and obviously evil male political figure. So I quit watching after s2 e1 and spoiled the rest of the series for myself. Some series have a perfect first season and run out of juice, like Dexter, Heroes and Korra, and in Korra's case it makes sense since originally the plan was for a self-contained 12 episode miniseries.
I loved LoK but man was Season 2 such a mess and I blame that on the finale of season 1 for rushing to reestablish the status quo of Korra being awesome and knowing all the bending. There is one thing i liked about season 2: Korra screwing up so badly that she ended up destroying Avatar connections. There was so much that could have been done to follow up with this in a future series, it really is a shame Nick was gunning to kill off the one good serious franchise it had that didn't involve a talking sponge.
I literally dropped korra in season 2, I tried to keep watching but oooh boi. It got dificult when all of a sudden I found myself not invested in any of the characters... or the plot. But aparently seasons 3 and 4 are better, or so I've been told, so at least you can look forwards to that.
It wasn't ignoring cause strong spirits could come through for shits and giggles. Examples are Hei bai and Koh the face stealer. The first is ok the second is not him having free access is bad. Also the mother of faces takes walks every so often in the living realm.
*Korra acting like b*** because the plot said so* YES!! I’m not the only one who felt Korra’s insufferable attitude felt incredibly forced and unnecessary.

He changed his aparience into a scary giant beast, but wasn't corrupt, he was just understandably upset and Aang could convince him and give him hope that the forest would grow back.
In Korra the spirits are more like possessed by Vatoo when they get mad and you can't reason with them, they even have evil smiles in some cases.
You know, I don't say this to start arguing or anything, I just point out what I believe is a change in the lore due to short time, pressure from Nickelodeon to make more avatar stuff and the absence of Aaron Ehasz and other ATLA writers on Korra, which lead to inconsistencies since another people had to write this.
So I hope I'm not making this effort just to be called a hater or something. I really mean what I say.
Another thing is Rava and Vatoo. You may argue that since they are so ancient they may not appear in ATLA. But their relation and symbolism is so different from the ATLA spirits and bending.
While in ATLA the theme always centred around humans having the capacity of doing both good and evil, and the spirits being portrayed as mostly impartial beans which either are reasonably upset with the humans like the forest spirit and Wan Shi tong, but not really being evil, or either actively helping them out like the painted lady or tui and La. Some are even more natural, mysterious powerful beings that make characters approaching them with great respect, and not even Ko, which is the creepiest and maybe evil of them all really would feel like he's corrupted.
In Korra they are, and Rava and Vatoo are literally good and evil fighting each other. In ATLA tri and La represented the yin yang concept and symbolize the cooperation between to different entities to achieve harmony. But Rava and Vatoo, even if they obviously were designed to resemble yin and yang (again) they are just pure good and pure evil. A very judeochristian approach, very western compared to ATLA's asian concepts and philosophy in which doesn't have this God vs devil kind of narrative.
That makes the avatar a different thing as well. In ATLA the avatar was the only one who could bend all four elements, he or she was the protector of nature and balance keeper. The avatar was the reincarnation of a spirit that had to watch over humanity and nature, in the Nickelodeon page they originally called it the spirit of the planet.
In Korra the avatar is not a force of nature but rather good personified. Since Rava is pure good, the avatar is (again) too western. Korra is basically kung fu Jesus.
Instead of making a backstory of an avatar that got corrupted due to so much power and turning into a tirant or evil, they instead made another avatar, a "dark one" that represents pure evil and fights with the good avatar... like the apocalypse and the antichrist and Satan fighting God and Jesus... I swear I'm not just assuming this similar to Christianity. The concept of good vs evil is 100% judeochristian, and doesn't fit at all with the asian philosophy that ATLA had.
Also the spirits in ATLA always had a nature kind of design and were always resembling animals and natural elements like moon or forest.
In Korra although there are animal spirits, there are also weird stuff inspired by some japanese author I don't remember, like the one with a poker face. But that even if is different, I don't think it's too important so I'm cool with it.
Another thing is Korra becoming a blue giant. Yes, she absorbed the Cosmic energy which Aang didn't. But, but. The way Korra did it was so different, so easy, and she shouldn't even be able to do it.
In ATLA Aang had to unlock all the chakras, experiencing all kind of emotional challenges and introspection. Korra just sat on the tree of time and went directly to the cosmos. Chakras are not even mentioned in Korra and she didn't unlock them.
But let's go to the point. When aang entered that cosmic plane and saw that giant alter ego of his, he had to detach himself from his world bowndries and forget them, the conflict being if one is ok with being incredible power at the cost of forgetting their loved ones and any kind of attachment, becoming a distant and cold being, since the Cosmic energy will only flow to them if they forget those attachments.
The scene starts with guru patik saying "let go of all your atatchments" but when Korra entered the Cosmic plane the phrase was much more lame and boring "find the light in the darkness"...
And she just entered that ball and gain a giant spirit alter ego when the idea was simply to unlock aangs already existing powers. In Korra this was like a power up, she already could control the avatar state... without all of this... she is supposed to be the avatar with the less connection to her spirituality. That's cool. But she basically surpasses Aang in the spiritual field. And she never had to let her attachments go to control the avatar state or to get this blue Korra power up.
Aang didn't let them go either, sure, but he achieved that in the last episode after so much introspection and revelations and meditation.
Which Korra at first couldnt even do.
The way the Cosmic energy thing works is very very different and has no drawback.
You may argue that Korra was in a spiritual place, sure, but that's the tree of time, not the tree of the forehead chakra.
Also concept of the animals being the first benders is completely lost here and are the fans the ones who try to find a way of having avatar wan's backstory fit into the ATLA world. Korra doesn't even try to a dress it, so now, instead of the moon spirit being the first waterbender or the dragons being the first firebenders, in Korra they maybe are just a kind of alternative teachers...
Also the fire sages can use firebending to heal... whaaat?
THERE are many more. But I've been writing this for ages. The more you watch Korra and the more you think about it, the more inconsistencies you see, but the season 2 are the worst because they act as a prequel and actively influence and changes the last airbender lore
David Brown korra already was close to to the dark ages... just rising above because of Amon... then season 2.... *shutters*
Unalaq’s whole invasion of the South Pole never made any sense if you know his real plan. He wants both spirit portals to open up and unleash the avatar equivalent of the devil to become the dark avatar and take over the world.
So after getting Korra completely on his side and opening the southern portal, all he literally had to do afterward was take Korra to the North pole, open the northern portal, and just wait out til HC comes by with Korra not knowing anything and away from her friends.
But instead he invades the south pole and wastes his limited time occupying the southerns despite the fact they have absolutely nothing to do with anything with the plan and wouldn’t have cared if he didn’t make obvious big deal about it. All it accomplished was slowly distance Korra away from him which is the last thing he wants since the avatar is literally the only way of opening the other portal.
Hell even if he really wanted to do the southern occupation thing, he could've just had Korra and him leave the south pole to the north pole and AFTER she is gone invade and take over the south without Korra knowing any better.
After Korra escaped from the south pole, all Korra had to do was literally nothing and his plan fails once HC passes.
yeah Unalaq was really kind of stupid, and Zaheer too because he initiated bad anarchism in the earth kingdom and didnt expect a totalitarian dictator to move in.
He really hates his brother. That's literally the only reason he tried to enslave the south. It was too personal for him, and he had to do it before becoming a cosmic being. No matter how smart someone is, it does stop them from being really salty about certain situation/people. Pearl aka SaltBae, did a lot of stupid shit contrary to the Crystal gems' ultimate goals.
@@Chemeleon15 Well again he could’ve invaded AFTER Korra was out and on her way to the North Pole. There was no real need for her to be there anymore. And would it all really matter to him anyway if he is going to become basically the anti-Christ and rule the whole world with his vast power and the spirits, why waste time on something he is going to get anyway.
Aka lazy writing by the creators who decided to just drop the most interesting part of the season (aka a Civil War with personal dilemmas for Korra, a great starting point) to just introduce some unnecessary information and drop the initial story entirely to channel it into a giant GOOD VS EVIL battle (totally nonsensical I dare to add) that decides the destiny of the entire universe. Okookkkk
Lord Toademort the problem is not “the character is stupid”; rather it is “the writers didn’t put enough effort to proceed toward a cohesive narrative who could have become amazing”
To be honest, while its nowhere close to ATLA, I still like the legend of Korra as a show. But I do agree that it has lots of issues and book 2 was definitely one of them which is honestly sad.
I really think it would have been better if Korra really did lose her bending at the end of Book 1 and book 2 would ( while the civil war was still happening ) focus on Korra reconnecting to her lost elements through more spiritual training, world travelling and advice from her past lives. I truly think Book two would've been stellar had it gone this route instead. What do y'all think.
Absolutely. That would fix so much of LOK that I dont like
@@barbaraw1245 Yes! And I think another neat touch would be this. Just like how Roku mainly guided Aang on his journey to bring peace back to the warring nations, Aang guides Korra in her quest as she matures spiritually, regaining her bending, and eventually returns home to bring balance to the warring Northern and Southern tribes before it becomes all out war.
@@toonist180 Yess! And by the end of the season Korra can be much much wiser because she has learn from the world the different cultures and philosophy each nation has. Let Korra help the people with their problems and be the avatar the world needs!
So... It would've been better if they just skipped to Book 4?
this is so true. I thought it was completely wrong that korra lost her bending for like 5 seconds and then she cries and aang shows up and gives her her bending and the avatar state?? like I wish they had focused on the pain that she was in for longer. That could’ve been an amazing story about realizing that she isn’t just her abilities but then she just gets it handed to her.
Tenzin: *doesn't explain how dangerous the Avatar State is*
Korra: *uses the Avatar State to win a race*
Tenzin: *:O*
It really isn’t Tenzin’s job to explain it to her, it’s Aang’s. But the writers of Korra clearly have no idea what an Avatar is
@@kindbrute4640 ikr like why was roku helping anng while none of the avatars tell korra anything
Cause Korra focused more on the physical responsibilities of the avatar, and then refused to train the spiritual side until she was absolutely forced to. And then after the second season, she couldn't have any help because she lost the avatar spirit.
There is also the second problem with the spirits portals is that spirits could already enter the physical world but those spirits were the either the most intelligent and peaceful or GOD tier powerful! There was no point in leaving the spirit gates open and there is also the issue of the weaker spirits turning people in half tree/animals monsters! Now spirits like koh who could enter the physical world during solstices now can go in and out whenever he pleases! Well don’t be surprised if a few people are missing their face in the next avatar series.
Indeed. Spirits in TLoK were first shown to be invasive beings that didn't give a shit about humans, similar to some of the traits that were shown in ATLA (though in ATLA the spirits have more mysterious motives than invading the material realm), but outta nowhere they have become pokemons that just exist to be admired and petted, and sometimes avoided cause they don't like to be bothered. It's so strange and we were given no explenation for the behaviour change.
Can’t wait to see slendermans running around
Well there is the possibility that not all the spirits went back when Wan sealed themselves off. Also they said Winter Solstice Festival in Legend of Korra and also those spirits was beating her whole ass so they were powerful around this time and her uncle manipulated a lot of them as well.
Bolin: Meh
Asami: Who?
Varick: MVP
Korra: Annoying
Mako: Die
i can't STAND Mako
Unalaq: Bad Villain OC
Mako: Simp
Hotel:Trivago
@bryan diaz varela you're thinking of Amon.
Let's just take the time to acknowledge how hard to make this video probably was
I mean he had to actually remember season 2 well enough to summarize it
I can’t stop laughing at that phrase “ bolin becomes a p*rn Star”. 😹
why did korra have the most bland relationships?
overused tropes with nothing added to them, thats why.
Because mako and asami are window dressing caracthers, khora is an asshole because the wirther made her to be "not ang" and this is why idint finish season 4.
"He was a boy, she was a girl, can I make it any more obvious?" - Avril Lavigne.
Kazuki because they wanted to create a shallow love triangle that teenage girls would eat up in seconds to make the show interesting for anquote on quote mature like people were shipping mako and korra before the freaking show even aired dude
Because the "creators" didn't understand how to function in their own relationships much less write decent ones. They saw Katara's and Zuko's popularity and took all the superficial aspects of their characters and threw it on the screen in the form of Korra and Mako.
To be fair, season 2 had some redeeming qualities. It introduced Eska, Desna and Varick, all great characters. I do kinda like the Varrik Bolin duo, and I also think Tenzin, Boomi, and Kaya's arc was nice. Boomi Jr is fun, and Ginora's sprit world arc is cool (Even though it gets kinda crazy with her harmonic convergence powers lol. But honestly it basically went full anime with the end.)
The worst part about season 2 is how it retcon's and dumbs-down some of Avatar's mythology, simplifying the avatar spirit lore, and yeah dark avatar thing was stupid. And of course the love triangle shipping war nonsense is terrible. I want a re-write where korrasami was the main ship from the start.
Kasi I actually like how they to explain the origins of the avatar and jinora getting more involve in spirit stuff also I liked how bolin and asami got to actually interact and actually hung out which is something that the show needed to do more have characters hang out and interact and I liked how korra and mako got to talk to each other without yelling well until it got ruined and stuff but oh well life goes on
They dropped the ball because the Avatar is meant to be all about balance and so far was heavily inspired by eastern mythology/religion/point of view, with Raava and Vaatu obviously being based on the ying-yang....but nah, let's make them not-Satan and not-God, because nothing says balance like inherently good vs inherently evil *slow clap*
Carla Carrero sorry but the origins are terrible because rot retcons the entire series of avatar the last air bender
Rava and vatu were never spoken about and randomly thought up in Korra
Everyone can just gain bending when it was stated they learned them from animals or the moon things of that nature.
There is much more that just gets retconned but that’ll make this message too long.
Scrub Lord well I can respect that but I’ve seen the original and to be honest the show never really says that people got their bending by being taught by animals what the show really wanted to say is that the animals like the moles and the dragons have different methods that can help a bender practice and master their bending in order to be stronger not that they get their bending from them but I do think that the whole korra will never disappear from the avatar state is pretty bad written and doesn’t make sense
Carla Carrero actually the show has stated that fire benders learned to bend from dragons
Water benders learned from the push and pull of the moon
Earth benders learned from badger moles
And air benders learned from sky bison the show states this is the case and then the lion turtle bs(which is a flaw of avatar as well not just of korra) exists now and takes place over that.
Asami and Lin done dirty in this season. And I never hated Korra more 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
A part of me is sad that it took amnesia for her to become a better character. But at the same time, thank God that reset button was hit.
Thanks for reminding me how boring this season was.
I seriously forgot most things which happened in there.
This made me realize how much I'm looking forward to Season 3.
As much as I love TLOK and really enjoy it, these sarcastic videos are just too true.
I really love how after mako breaks up with Korea nobody wonders where she is for like 3 episodes
Season 2 is basically a “filler” season. Change my mind. 🍸
I say season 1 is more of the filler season, considering other then introducing the characters and this new world nothing else in it matters. Amon and his revolution is hardly mentioned again and all of the non-bending society issues had just magically disappeared after they elected some non-bending president. Asami’s dad was also arrested but that plot point then come up again until all the way to season 4 and that mostly amount to nothing after his death.
Season 2 is bad but at least some of the stuff that happened in it namely in it's last episode like the airbenders return, the spirit vines, and the spirits themselves affecting the lives of Republic city that did affect the plot to the later seasons, and characters like Varrick did come back and had an impact on seasons 3 and 4.
Brandon Lyon Season 1 isn’t filler, they got a nonbender president because of the revolution. Korra learned airbending too, unlike her cool spirit powers which she never uses again because “it’s not filler.”.
Season 1 was like a prequel/prologue, Season 2 is the filler everyone wants to pretend never happened, and season 3 and 4 are the "true show"
Filler seasons don't have permanent and damaging implications to the universe's canon going forward.
@@DairunCateswhat are you talking about the season is filler
(clearly in denial)
Varrick is best character of the season and you can not change my mind
Why is Varrick the only thing worth watching in this show?
Because he did the thing
@@MonteCreations
well he made Zhu Li do the thing
Eat At Joe's because he’s well written , has motivations and isn’t their to cause shallow teen drama
Probably because you're a misogynist.
@@Realmfaker what how?
I overall really like Korra, but season 2 sucks so hard (except for the episode about the first Avatar).
I really like the first avatar episodes IF you view it while ignoring everything else in the series. Just like the Steven Universe Season 5 finale.
I don't like the avatar wan episodes tbh
I like the Wan parts of those episodes, but I really hated Vaatu and Raava. I hate the two’s concept and what they did with the avatar itself.
Yeah, that Vaatu and Raava thing was not really good as a concept for the avatar.
@@jf_kein_k8590 and how they made Ying and Yang evil and good when it's NOT!!!
if you just forget that season 2 exists the show is actually pretty great!!
We can all agree that varrick was the real one in LOK
i will not tolerate any hate toward the goat of the show varrick
Mako: what’s with you and sides
Korra: be there or be square
Yes I like both your sarcastic summary and review one is for shits and giggles while the other is more serious and you get more into detail about the episodes and how you feel about them
P.S. season two of The Legend of Korra is total garbage and takes a huge dump on the Avatar lore of The Last Airbender
About the only thing I liked about Season 2 was the show realizing how bad the Korra/Mako relationship was and actively shutting it down. It was still a plot tumor for far too long, but it was interesting to see.
Richard Barnes as a makorra fan I do respect how they acknowledge and realized that the relationship had a lot of problems and gave it a good break up where the two can still be on good terms with each other unlike cough cough star vs the forces of evil
The problem is mako is basicaly windoe dresing, dont get me wrong asami is window dressing to but it a pretyer window dressing.
Eduardo Souza to be fair korra started this too with the whole kissing a guy who clearly has a girlfriend with out his consent you know the thing that zutara shippers shit on aang for in the original series ?
I really cannot wait to hear your REAL talk on Season 1 and 2. Your commentary is hilarious.
Hell yeah! 1st time I caught a video so early. Love your sarcasm and humorous take on shows. Keep up the amazing work
They should've ended it after season 1... Everything was downhill from there.
Season three and four are a big step up in terms of writing IMO.
Darth Sidious pretending Rise of Skywalker didn't happen: "You did not just liken Unalock to me!"
I’ll never forget how Bolin basically sexually assaulted ginger on set and nick allowed that on tv
I started to HATE Bolin after that, like, straight up loath him, and nothing can change my mind at this point, also, he didn't deserve Opal lol
i love his this is what the producers were probably thinking during making the show
I love these videos so much, they're hilarious and not entirely incorrect. I can't wait for your serious review though.

Lol I may be the only person who actually enjoyed this season. I like the spiritual stuff, and really loved the first avatar tidbits, especially the art design in those flashbacks.
That was the only good part of the whole season (the spirits and the Avatar Wan flashback). Everything else felt pointless, unneeded, or stupid, making the season bad compared to the others.
Agree, my favorite part is Korra found herself much more valuable than she thought. She was always haunted by the fact that she was the avatar. She wanted to be a good avatar but everyone seems to againts it. She was expected to be an adult when everyone treated her like kid or simply didn't want her around (like equalist). So when she lost her connection, she thought she was hopeless, she couldn't save the world without that, and the darkness would win. But she was wrong. Being able to saw "who" she was, not just "what" she was actually really amazing. You can't be defined just by one thing, if someone said "I'm an avatar" it's really unclear, is it Korra? Aang? Roku? Or wan? Because there were many avatars Korra must not define herself only as "avatar" She was an avatar, she was a teenager, she was from south water tribe, she was a girl, she was Tenzin's student and there were many things who made her "Korra" You can't lose yourself just because you lose one thing. She was still an airbender, firebender, earthbender and waterbender. And there were many people support her, she wasn't alone. She still could fulfil her duty.
I like the sarcastic reviews, AND the actual series' reviews. Like to hear your thoughts on the stuff.
Surprised you didn't make a joke about Korra threatening to take the Judge's life 😅
The season that made Korra cannonically the worst avatar ever.
T Jex. The season that made the love triangle worsed then it already was
honestly i feel so bad for the avatars before her having to pass down their state to this train wreck, something she did pissed me off and i really wish you can delete a show from existing
Yes yes it did

@@carlacarrero4975
But the Firelord's daughter isn't even in the show.
Although I love aang. Holy he was completely non-existent when it came to mentoring Korra.
Tbf they did literally destroy his soul halfway through the show.
it was the writers’ fault because in ATLA it is shown that the previous avatar is supposed to be the mentor for the current avatar. In LOK, they wrote Adult aang so horribly. They never talk about aang unless it’s his children complaining about him.
The only time he shows up was to restore korra’s bending and just disappears which was utter bullshit because now we know that aang could willingly visit korra and we ALL know he would have been the best mentor. The thing that pissed me off the most was that he was nerfed.
His achievements and power in ATLA, despite him being a child, was amazing and interesting. I thought he was going to be the most powerful avatar in existence and I was excited to see prime aang. Turns out they portrayed him weakly and his power during the avatar state was weak as well compared to ATLA which doesn’t make sense. To top it all off, his soul along with all the other important avatars such as roku and kyoshi were deleted out of existence.
In conclusion, LOK completely ruined their chance of making the show better than it is now
you’re a very underrated channel bro keep it up
Varick carried the entire 2nd season on his back

So he only worked on Avatar Wan stuff I’m assuming
@@SarcasticChorus Ha, not sure. He did have a bit of a cameo as a guard at Amon's rally. Tall fat guy.
Tithis maybe the reason why he likes it is due to the hard work and bonding he did and experienced with the other animators

Oh my god I forgot how fucked this season was. I mean it's been years. I basically just remember Korra and Asami saying fuck this shit I'm out.
"C'mon, you know why."
Nice use of Helluva Boss!
Do y’all not realize that was not possible. Nickelodeon asked for one season from the creators, so they gave them one season. They didn’t have a plan for a season 2. But Nickelodeon was like “Damn this is pretty good, go ahead and give us a second season.” So there was no plot continuation from season 1 to 2. It’s not the creators fault. Had Nickelodeon allowed the creators to create all four seasons from the beginning, we might’ve had something completely different.
“Rethinking her marriage Pemma gets off free because she’s a woman” LMAOO that’s exactly what I was thinking like she did the same exact things as the men 😂😂😂

you know how amon was so cool and like darth vader vibe? replace that with evil avatar!

Its not. There's still the Live action movie. I mean it's bad but its not that...

Nice to see 3 people of the culture
Totally agree. I really liked TLOK Air (didn't even watch ATLA except for first episode) and season two episode one suddenly Korra is regressed in her personality development to an impulsive brat, once again she resents Tenzin, once again is completely manipulated by an oily and obviously evil male political figure. So I quit watching after s2 e1 and spoiled the rest of the series for myself. Some series have a perfect first season and run out of juice, like Dexter, Heroes and Korra, and in Korra's case it makes sense since originally the plan was for a self-contained 12 episode miniseries.
I loved LoK but man was Season 2 such a mess and I blame that on the finale of season 1 for rushing to reestablish the status quo of Korra being awesome and knowing all the bending. There is one thing i liked about season 2:
Korra screwing up so badly that she ended up destroying Avatar connections.
There was so much that could have been done to follow up with this in a future series, it really is a shame Nick was gunning to kill off the one good serious franchise it had that didn't involve a talking sponge.
Sooooooooooooo......we can all agree that 3 and 4 helped forget this train wreck of a season,right?
I literally dropped korra in season 2, I tried to keep watching but oooh boi.
It got dificult when all of a sudden I found myself not invested in any of the characters... or the plot.
But aparently seasons 3 and 4 are better, or so I've been told, so at least you can look forwards to that.
100% approve of Harley Quinn reference
Legend of korra season 2 is like the shrek quadrilogy. You just take one part out of the franchise and you treat it like it never existed.
Korra had real potential and we see that best in season 2, but it just squanders it nearly every time.
Idisagree, ilove Unalaq, lmao on "what would ozai do?"
It wasn't ignoring cause strong spirits could come through for shits and giggles. Examples are Hei bai and Koh the face stealer. The first is ok the second is not him having free access is bad. Also the mother of faces takes walks every so often in the living realm.
Don’t forget Wan shi tong
Honestly Bolin and the evil twins had the best relationship in the series.
It actually gets intriguing by the end of part 1, but then part 2 kicks down the door with dark avatar bullshit and ruins it.
I love the helluva boss reference
