Absolutely one of my all-time favorite episodes in all of Avatar. Fun fact: the original creators wanted to tell this story in the original series with Aang but could never find the right time to include it in the story. Since Aang was already very in tune with his spirituality, I thought it was perfect that Korra was the one to go on this journey.
@@FirstLast-yh7gj I meant like Korra is not connected very well to her past selves, she needs the sort of understanding about the role and purpose of the Avatar whereas Aang and the airbending culture helps him to understand his spiritual purpose of the Avatar, he just needs the physical understanding of the elements.
@@dislikereporter2271 It does not contradicts that aspect as you can see in the episodes they got the fire ability from the turtles but Wan learned the bending technique from the Dragons - so they learned bending from the each respective source. But it's valid if it does not appeal to you.
@Mikhail Abraham They are wrong. Nothing is revised. The lion turtles granted the power of the elements and the dragons, badger moles, sky bisons, and the moon taught the bender of their respective elements how to “bend” each element.
april629 Jackson just said you can tell by the markings, and the fact that it’s an island has nothing to do with what element it handled out in the past, it’s a turtle. You expect the fire lion turtle to be swimming in a volcano?

If I remember correctly, fire benders have a form of diagnosing what’s wrong with someone similar to water benders only they can’t heal them. Always thought that was dope at the beginning.
Firebenders are fundamentally in tune with their chi because they create their element from it rather than bend just the physical element. Thus they can diagnose blockages and irregularities in the flow of chi which often can be linked to physical ailments

I ship those two together. I've read fan fiction when these two crossed paths in interesting ways and yes they are similar but they would make a cute couple plus they are my favourite shows
Just to clarify, when Vaatu says ''She has tormented me for ten thousand years'', it's not actually ten thousand years, ''Ten thousand'' is an ancient Taoistic expression to refer ''a big amount'' or ''infinity''. It also apply to Wan Shi Tong, (''Who knows ten thousand things'')
The 10 thousand years here is specific, as it’s a cycle. He just meant they’ve been fighting since the last time one of them lost in the previous Harmonic Convergence. Also, it’s a lie for a gullible human, who couldn’t have been around at the last HC. he could’ve said any length of time but he chose something closer to the truth. In the case of Wan Shi Tong, yes, 10,000 is infinity ♾.

The technique Wan uses to separate Raava and Vaatu is similar to a technique Zuko used to free Azula from Katara's waterbending hold in "The Crossroads of Destiny".
@Elliepopcorn More like the creator made and establish rules and broke them, like dark and light don't even balance each other out, just fight for control. They also basically ruin the fun and mystery of the avatar universe.
@Elliepopcorn I wish they'd at least get the balance part right, Raava and Vaatu are literally supposed to be yin and yang, yet they are terribly unbalanced. It's pretty weird, Raava doesn't get a consequence for staying alive without Vaatu around so there never actual balance in the Avatar world since both of them are going to keep on killing each other until one of them dies. Raava gets killed 10,000 years of darkness Vaatu gets killed nothing happens
One thing that didn't really occur to me until this watch is that the fire nation was FIRST. Which, I think, is appropriate for the nature of the elements; Fire is the most rash, most quickly changing and transformative.
The basic concept of the origin story used in these episodes had been in development well before the creators began work on Book Two: Spirits. Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko had been discussing the idea since Book Two of Avatar: The Last Airbender, but did not present the story to the writers until much later.

NGL, I'd kill for another series just showing Wan's journey to becoming the first Avatar and building on his friendship with the spirits. Especially if it had this absolutely gorgeous artstyle. Just a shame we'll probably never see it.
Only the avatar can bend energy because the avatar is part spirit (Raava) and spirit energy when present (or absent) is what grants people the ability to bend.
@@yukijames1321 I completely understand. I’m trying not to spoil stuff for Roshi and the others... but I’m sure you know episode 10 had a major event with a call back, and so did the episode Darkness Falls. Things happened in this season that we didn’t get to experience in ATLA. I feel like this season was for unanswered questions and content we still wanted to see. Keep in mind that the writers thought the show was going to end after season 1, therefore there is a new villain every season. This is one of the reasons this season may not have met ur standards but it’s always great to see someone else’s POV😊
@@CaptainTitforce to some degree I agree. A couple things they could’ve done differently to make it better, especially with the fighting. Just try to remember this was on Nickelodeon and certain things were not allowed in the show like outright murder and death. We don’t have to look any further than the Southern Raiders episode in atla to see that. Always nice to hear others opinions😊
With her extensive knowledge in spiritual matters, the shaman is capable of using fire to sense chi paths and interpret spiritual energy, similar to healing. She is also knowledgeable in animal husbandry, having been able to tend to a herd of flying bison for over half a century. The shaman is the second known person after Unalaq to use bending at a spiritual level. The shaman was originally written as a blind character, but the initial animation ended up depicting her looking around frequently. Rather than fix the animation, the creators decided to scrap the concept as it did not significantly affect the story arc
"In the era before the Avatar we did not bend the elements.. but the energy within ourselves..." remember ATLA finale? There it is 9:50 But it WAS the one. Look at those marks on its forehead
The sage who says, "We found the Avatar washed up on the shore. But she doesn't remember anything" is played by Serena Williams. She also played the role of Ming, the Prison Keeper of Iroh in Avatar The Last Airbender Book 3-Fire
Before yall get confused - the powers is granted by the turtles and the bending style is thought by the original masters - such ass the dragons , the sky bisons , the badgermoles and the moon spirit
Actually the fire nation avatar before Roku is part of the reason became such a problem. He neglected his avatar duties and focused more on fire nation politics. He eventually gained political power to unite a divided fire nation. Thus leading to their industrial revolution. It's an interesting story.
damn i was really hoping for a double drop these 2 eps are imo the best ones in the whole show especially the 2nd part but thats mainly due to this ep building everything up for it.
The people used to live on the lion turtles. The fire benders lived on the fire turtle, the air nomads lived on the air turtle, the earth colonists lived on the earth turtle, and the water tribals lived on the water turtle. This happened because the sports were seen as dangerous and lived in the same world as humans.
Funny but you actually can find Juans in Asia, such as in the Philippines! This is a result of the Philippines being a colony of Spain for around 400 years.
The spirit telling Wan that "[the other lion turtle] is on the other side of none-of-your-business valley" recalls a scene in "The Blind Bandit" when an earthbender student told Aang that Earth Rumble VI was located "at the isle of none-ya business".
Wan's acquisition of fire through deception fits with the thematic theft of fire, in which an individual steals fire for the benefit of humanity. In this case, Wan's acquirement of firebending indirectly helped bring balance to both the physical and spirit realms. Like Maui Prometheus And others
It's not that the Chus (Xhus? Shus?) had firebending powers, they just had the means and resources to make weaponry and thus the authority to hold rank and loyalty. They had real weapons made of steel. To an unarmed person like Wan, the Chus are unstoppable. It's like the myth of Prometheus, how Prometheus stole the power of fire and gave it to the humans.
So idk if anyone had already commented this, but all the lion turtles bend energy/chi. The different elements are made from different flows of chi and so when a lion turtle unlocks a certain flow of chi, it gives/biases the new bender towards that element. It’s like how all computer code is at its core binary, but depending on the combinations of 1s and 0s you’ll get different commands and results. The lion turtles themselves are biased to the flow of chi that grants them their element but they are so ancient it is believed that they created this idea of chi flow. Guru Patik in ATLA talks about this when unlocking Aang’s chakras; that all the elements were fundamentally connected and were just different expressions of the same core chi/energy of the universe, which is why more advanced techniques like lightning come from fundamental combinations in elements. Lightning specifically is a firebender’s ability to make their chi flow in a way similar to that of a water bender. Since they are biased to fire, they’ll never be able to bend water, but by directing the flow of chi in a way similar to water bending, they can achieve a level of fire that is closer to water and blurs the line a little bit. Thus, the ability to control lightning, which is a plasma that is more fluid-like than fire, a plasma that is more gas-like. So in short, Sheera was correct that they can all take bending away, however, there is a reason why they can only give and receive one element. Anyway, I really like how these episodes really blew the ATLA world to a new level and I hope this clears some things up.

Ok I have literally been waiting for this . Thanks XD
Lupa is on his last goddam nerve with this show 😭😂😂 I'm in fucking tears man 😂😂😂😂
i liked how they talked through half of the video
lovely
Man ya'll catch everything in these episodes
I love watching you guys watch and also discuss it
YES FINALLY THEY STARTED WATCHING THE PART I WANTED THEM TO SEE
The first Fire Sage to talk in this episode is voiced by Serena Williams :D
She also voiced one of the guards in charge of Iroh in ATLA
easily the best two episodes of korra imo
The water from that pond is the same water that saved Aang after Azula shot him
its not.
It’s the same type of water but that is the spirit oasis where the koi fish swam
I always wondered if it might be the same pond of water Korra's in right now.
"Of course there are more lion turtles. Dozens of them!"
Always a line that makes my head spin. Probably the best two patter in all of Korra
Yaaaaaas Sheera, Queen of Breaking it Down!!!!
So idk if anyone had already commented this, but all the lion turtles bend energy/chi. The different elements are made from different flows of chi and so when a lion turtle unlocks a certain flow of chi, it gives/biases the new bender towards that element. It’s like how all computer code is at its core binary, but depending on the combinations of 1s and 0s you’ll get different commands and results. The lion turtles themselves are biased to the flow of chi that grants them their element but they are so ancient it is believed that they created this idea of chi flow. Guru Patik in ATLA talks about this when unlocking Aang’s chakras; that all the elements were fundamentally connected and were just different expressions of the same core chi/energy of the universe, which is why more advanced techniques like lightning come from fundamental combinations in elements. Lightning specifically is a firebender’s ability to make their chi flow in a way similar to that of a water bender. Since they are biased to fire, they’ll never be able to bend water, but by directing the flow of chi in a way similar to water bending, they can achieve a level of fire that is closer to water and blurs the line a little bit. Thus, the ability to control lightning, which is a plasma that is more fluid-like than fire, a plasma that is more gas-like. So in short, Sheera was correct that they can all take bending away, however, there is a reason why they can only give and receive one element. Anyway, I really like how these episodes really blew the ATLA world to a new level and I hope this clears some things up.
These 2 episodes are easily the best of season 2.
