I remember when this episode started a running joke with Spongebob. Basically what happened was, when Korra was falling after the glass broke from under her, a spongebob banner showed up saying Spongebob was going to be next and showed Spongebob laughing. It pretty much looked like Spongebob was laughing at Korra being in danger, and it was almost perfectly timed too. People then started to show Spongebob laughing inappropriately at sad scenes from other shows/movies (mostly from Avatar though), but the funniest ones for me, were the ones that actually had Korra laughing at sad spongebob scenes instead of the other way around.
It's crazy that these guys have only seen 6 episodes, and they already have a better understanding of what the writers/creators intentions for the series were, than most ATLA fanboys... Shows what having an open mind gets you.
Kanza Lol, the latter half of Book 2, and the entirety of Books 3 and 4 take a dump on Book 1. Face it, most of the haters complaints (nitpicks) come from things that take place in the first 6 episodes. They weren't open to the series, and they bash it for dumb things like having radios, and awkward teenage interaction...
Come off it. Korra suffers from having no general direction as opposed to ATLA. It is a series of highs and lows whereas ATLA has a general upward trend in quality. Korra has strong aspects for sure but can you really say it matches up with the consistency of ATLA seasons 2-4 in terms of writing, character development, etc? Not to mention the korrasami ending that came out of NOWHERE.
Kanza Book 3 of LOK is the closest thing I've seen to a perfect season of television since Book 3 of ATLA. They clearly knew the direction the show was going in, and they executed it near flawlessly.
"They sound similar" Oh jeez. I literally live for these fridays. I get so pumped when you theorize, and I can't wait for you to see the rest. and also on Lin, Like mother like daughter. The beifong family is beastly. There are so many moments I literally cannot wait for you to see. There are so many moments that will come that I swear were built for reactions. and I cannot wait for you to see them.
I love it when these guys theorize too..its crazy how close they get..I never did that when I was watching the series but its fun to see them talk about it..ohh..and so many awesome reactions are yet to come..should be fun
ashank dixit this show is great and a great memory for me. My kids, their mom and I would watch it together, and they ranged from college to elementary school age with several ages in between. We would discuss it afterward for awhile, theorizing about everything, and my oldest even made RPG rules so she could put us all through an adventure. We played D&D and V&V as a family, so she just bastardized the rules from both.
This episode truly pushes Amon into the spotlight. Because it's one thing to take an evil gangsters bending away who's extorted people, but to take public figures like pro benders bending away, that means he's getting bold. He wanted the arena to stay open to make his statement. It truly makes you realize that Amon may not be looking for equality at all. He's looking for a full scale takeover.
I admit, to me, this episode was the high point of the season. Really really good. Unfortunately, in my opinion, it's all downhill from here, in this season, at least but that doesn't mean there's nothing to enjoy in what's to come.
Yeah Eric was right, they were all airbenders. It's to do with the fact that airbenders have a heightened connection to the spirits which means that they can all bend (as bending has a spiritual aspect as well)
Even though it wasn't in the reaction, Korra vs the Lieutenant was one of my favorite scenes of this episode as well as fights in LOK overall. From the music to the choreography to the slow-mo, everything was just spot-on! God, the music! The music playing during the fight is actually my ringtone lol Lin is a BAMF!! Amon is indeed a compelling villain ...even though he basically committed a terrorist attack this episode. I'm also so happy how much you guys are enjoying the show so far. I mean, its only been 6 episodes and you're already loving it so much. Makes me that more excited to see your reactions to the later seasons :D And Aaron, I completely agree with your assessment about the differences between Aang and Korra!
Lalisa T Lol I love me some ATLA but I love LOK too! And yeah Korra for me is just such an interesting and relatable character and how she grows throughout the show and stuff, Aang just wasn't, he was kinda boring tbh. In ATLA there were so many characters WAY more interesting and relatable than Aang even though he was supposed to be the main character. 😬 Sorry Aang fanboys/girls!
When I watched this show, the only thing keeping me thinking that Tarrlok (sp?) wasn't Amon was "...nah, that's too obvious.But they must be connected somehow..."
Haha it was funny how theories were when first watching this season and seeing them have the same experience. For me it was "Tarloq must be Amon...oh well I was on the right track. Asami has to be a secret equalist...oh well I was on the right track." Hahaha
One of my all-time favorite moments in Book 1 is the scene at 8:50 when the roof blows up and the ropes come down. The music in that very moment is so awesome, sends chills down my spine every time
Chi-blockers are more than a match for most benders and no longer fear them. The shock gloves give the average non-bender the "power" to take on benders just like Chi-blockers can. Sad to see you guys edit out almost the entire arena rooftop fight between Korra+Lin and the Lieutenant+Chi-blockers. One of the best (if not THE best) in the whole season.
If I'm being honest, I slightly prefer this to the first show, and I have three main reasons. 1. I personally like Korra as a lead better than Aang. 2. In LoK I notice less filler than in Last Airbender. 3. LoK seems to have bit more of an edge to it, without crossing the line into pretentious edge-lord territory, while Last Airbender is a fair bit safer (granted, it's probably only due to the original's success that they were able to push it further in LoK).
The comics explain who those other people at the air temple are, short version is that they're simply people who admire the culture, and who helped Aang keep the traditions of the air nation alive. So they're not airbenders. Eric was right about all air nomads being benders BTW, it's not something that was ever explicitly stated in the show, but the creators have confirmed it.
This, for me, is when book 1 really gets going. And I'm really happy that you guys have an open mind about the story of Korra as opposed to most reactors who insist it should be an exact replica of atla
Luke Godoy SPOILERS But a few other reactors have picked up that it's too obvious for him to be amon. And for a show like avatar they're not gonna point to tarlok lmao but I guess it depends on the viewer really
Ywoontufec Mikehunt I don't think they read these comments (idk how they do it but y'know) plus that's why we put "spoilers" in the beginning just as failsafe
Paul Anthony oh I actually didn't know that I'm sorry. I'll delete my comment if that helps any bit. Edit: lmao nevermind the original commenter has to delete his comment
This is one of my favorite episodes. "Spider-Lin" was awesome. I get Avatar fans being disappointed that it wasn't like ATLA and the characters and settings were too different but they ignored everything that was cool about it. We all know that Star Trek: The Next Generation didn't get really good until the 3rd season. My theory is that even in TNG had been great from the first episode fans would have still hated it because it was too different from the old Star Trek they loved. People needed to get used to that world and those characters first.
According to the Avatar Wiki, Lin and Tenzin broke up because Lin didn't want to have kids and Tenzin needed to have them in order to produce more airbenders. He wanted to realise Aang's dream of repopulating the Air Nation
I'm so glad you guys seem to be enjoying this as much as I do!!!! Season 1 is so good, and though I didn't love the ending, it's positive points outweigh the negative in my opinion. This is one of my favorite episodes of this season. Keep on reacting! Your commentary is funny and interesting, definitely the highlight of my week.
Final Account maybe they weren't really that interested in the fight. I havent seen the whole vid yet, but if they didn't really mention it in their review at the end then it probably didn't wow them that much. If they did and said it was amazing then yeah I have no idea why they would cut it.
After this episode it just keeps ramping up! Awesome! I can't wait for your reactions (quite literally, I almost can't wait, I suffer... because I love it so much!)
Can you guys tell the difference between some reactions they do? Like for Iron Fist they talk and make jokes a lot because literally so little is happening in it, whereas here their attention is toward what's happening on screen.
The air "nomads" at the air temple that aren't actually air benders are referred to as the air acolytes and they were recruited by Aang as shown in the comics. It's a really nice read, I really suggest you check it out. Also, gives more insight on Aang and Katara's future and relationship past the original series.
I really love you guys, but I waited so long for this episode (since you started watching legend of korra) and then you cut one of the best fights down to 30sec. I understand editing this isn't easy but still I was so excited to see you react to that. Still really love this channel!
Yes the editing isn't easy, there is so many great moments in the all the shows they watch BUT to stay within RUclips's fair use limit they have to keep the TV footage to 10 minutes. so unfortunately a few good scenes have to be cut to make room for other awesome scenes. Just the way it is.
The 'Air acolytes' as they are called were aang's fan members, Aang taught them the ways of his people and their history so that they could help preserve the Air nomads way of life and all of the air temples. Their heritage is mostly Earth Kingdom. Before the Massacre, the air nomads were the only nation that was made up of ALL benders due to their highly spiritual nature.
I'm so hyped for ep 9, I can tell they are going to talk a lot about that ep when it comes !! waiting for friday to come every week really kills me as a fan , could you pretty please consider reacting to korra twice a week ? like you did in ATLA (Mondays & Fridays)
imso glad I can watch this show with people that actually understand the show and apprieate what there doing cause hearing everyone complain about things that could easily explained and have already been made clear. thank you for having an open mind
aang was in fact, the last air bender. In a canon short comic named " relics" it was revealed that many air nomads did indeed escape the initial attack from Sozin but over the course of 100 years they had either found, or tricked surviving airbenders into thinking they found a safe refuge and killed them.
They are the Air Acolytes, people who are not members of the Air Nation, but have dedicated their lives to restoring the culture of the Air Nation, founded by Aang of course. I think Amon just meant in the sense that you didn't have to be a Chi blocker to fight on a level playing field with benders anymore.
you guys are the shit. Can't believe I missed your Jessica Jones reactions. Binged it last night, not disappointed. The Luke/Jessica impenetrable joke killed me dude..
Awesome reaction! I wish they would also release commentary style videos so we could see the reaction to the full episode. Like maybe take out the audio/video and leave a time stamp...
All the airbenders during Aang's time were killed. Aang was truly the last. Then he had an airbender son with Katara who had a bunch of airbender children.
I shall now resurrect the meme that was going around when this episode aired... *clears throat* o/` Spider-Lin, Spider-Lin, does whatever a Spider-Lin can, shoots a wire, way up high, pulls chi-blockers right outta the sky, LOOK OUT, here comes a Spider-Lin o/` There are, of course, variations on the theme. But we all love Spider-Lin. :D
These guys are in for a treat. There is one particular scene in Out of the Past which I'm seriously looking forward to. I'm pretty sure you can guess which one it is. On a completely different note, does anybody else find it strange that the fanbase is divided into these two groups: the ones who will spoil things without much of a thought and the ones who will assasinate the former for spoiling?
You guys are going to really like Korra. You have the mature minds it takes to really appreciate the show & already grasp the concept of there being no large over-looming villain like Ozai was. This show is more about showing that peace doesn't happen overnight. It meant to show that Aang didn't just save the world & everything was hunky dory, peace, rainbows, and butterflies.
One popular theory of who Amon is is that when Aang "died" when Azula shocked him, the Avatar was reborn but then Katara brought him back. So Amon is a semi avatar that can only take bending away and energy bend. That's why Korra can't go into the avatar state but can bend the other elements. Another theory is that Amon is similar to the first that he's a semi avatar but he can Air Bender and energy bend. That's why Korra can't Air Bend.
That first theory makes no sense because Azula killed him when he was in the Avatar State, meaning that the Avatar wouldn't have been reincarnated at all.
i like your reaction to tenzin getting shocked in the back. you really have to get used to the people youre rooting for losing a lot of the time and only barely making it out alive by pure luck alone or some other bs.
I like how casually Tenzin said that Lin tried to throw his wife in prison.
I love how Pro-Bending is the natural evolution of the earthbending wrestling we saw in ATLA.
I would say it's like a mix of earthbending wrestling and Agni Kai.
Jude Miller you're talking about the Earth Rumble where the group found Toph
Yes, that one!
Matt Brown EARTH RUMBLE 6
Proud Kataang yup!
"Lynn is so awesome."
What can you expect, it's Toph's Daughter.
I remember when this episode started a running joke with Spongebob. Basically what happened was, when Korra was falling after the glass broke from under her, a spongebob banner showed up saying Spongebob was going to be next and showed Spongebob laughing. It pretty much looked like Spongebob was laughing at Korra being in danger, and it was almost perfectly timed too. People then started to show Spongebob laughing inappropriately at sad scenes from other shows/movies (mostly from Avatar though), but the funniest ones for me, were the ones that actually had Korra laughing at sad spongebob scenes instead of the other way around.
thank you for bringing this to my attention 6 and/or 2 years late
I remember this 😂
I can’t believe I forgot
What does this mean?
When the Eart Queen is getting choked and Spngobob just comes out of no where and starts laughing
I saw someone's artwork showing the SpongeBob banner while Korra was looking at it angrily, and then showed Korra bending the water out of SpongeBob.
I wanted to see you guys react to the funny part with the announcer getting shocked
Young Vigilante ikr its so hilarious how he was still commentating while an equilist was entering the booth
the comedy in this show is great
love this moment xD
LOL I was waiting for that moment,it's sad that their editor cut that out.
I am currently wetting my pants!
It's crazy that these guys have only seen 6 episodes, and they already have a better understanding of what the writers/creators intentions for the series were, than most ATLA fanboys... Shows what having an open mind gets you.
Preach.
Bullshit. Most people had little problems with season 1...it's afterward that the show goes off the rails.
Kanza Lol, the latter half of Book 2, and the entirety of Books 3 and 4 take a dump on Book 1. Face it, most of the haters complaints (nitpicks) come from things that take place in the first 6 episodes. They weren't open to the series, and they bash it for dumb things like having radios, and awkward teenage interaction...
Come off it. Korra suffers from having no general direction as opposed to ATLA. It is a series of highs and lows whereas ATLA has a general upward trend in quality.

Not to mention the korrasami ending that came out of NOWHERE.
Kanza Book 3 of LOK is the closest thing I've seen to a perfect season of television since Book 3 of ATLA. They clearly knew the direction the show was going in, and they executed it near flawlessly.
Plot Twist: Meelo is Amon.
Guys it's so obvious!
Nah man Katara is Amon
Phil Trash #2 Nah, Aang is somehow alive and is Amon
You're all stupid it's so obvious the cabbage man is amon
In Ba Sing Se, There's no Amon, In Ba Sing Se we Are SAFE
Ginger Blue no no no it’s bumi
"THAT WAS AANG!!!"
Fucking great reaction :)
"They sound similar"
Oh jeez.
I literally live for these fridays. I get so pumped when you theorize, and I can't wait for you to see the rest.
and also on Lin, Like mother like daughter. The beifong family is beastly.
There are so many moments I literally cannot wait for you to see. There are so many moments that will come that I swear were built for reactions.
and I cannot wait for you to see them.
I just want them to see the Tarlock scene at the end of episode 8.
I love it when these guys theorize too..its crazy how close they get..I never did that when I was watching the series but its fun to see them talk about it..ohh..and so many awesome reactions are yet to come..should be fun
ashank dixit this show is great and a great memory for me. My kids, their mom and I would watch it together, and they ranged from college to elementary school age with several ages in between.

Allison Cornell exactly, especially the end of this season! And the Zaheer fight!! Cant wait!!
Loved the fighting choreography in this ep. it was a masterpiece
This episode truly pushes Amon into the spotlight. Because it's one thing to take an evil gangsters bending away who's extorted people, but to take public figures like pro benders bending away, that means he's getting bold. He wanted the arena to stay open to make his statement. It truly makes you realize that Amon may not be looking for equality at all. He's looking for a full scale takeover.
Guys, Lynn is Toph's daughter, not granddaughter. I've seen you make that mistake a few times and thought I would help clear that up:)
StygianTraveler141 my b my b
This episode is awesome, one of the best in season 1. The music is amazing and Amon is such a great villain and gosh damn I just love this show.
Lol I love Amon too, he's my favorite villain from this show, I just loved his mask, his voice and the mysterious vibe you'd get from him.
Plus Steve Blum
I admit, to me, this episode was the high point of the season. Really really good.
Unfortunately, in my opinion, it's all downhill from here, in this season, at least but that doesn't mean there's nothing to enjoy in what's to come.
I really like episodes 8 and 9,
SPOILER
when Tarrlok is revealed as a villain and we get some of the backstory.
Kaihu Spoiler much?
Yeah Eric was right, they were all airbenders. It's to do with the fact that airbenders have a heightened connection to the spirits which means that they can all bend (as bending has a spiritual aspect as well)
Haza179 Doesnt make them airbenders, I'm afraid.
kaakeli laatotus That's what the creators said tho??
"I don't know what match the ref was watching, obviously not this one." Goatmentator!!!
I've got to start using this more often
Even though it wasn't in the reaction, Korra vs the Lieutenant was one of my favorite scenes of this episode as well as fights in LOK overall. From the music to the choreography to the slow-mo, everything was just spot-on! God, the music! The music playing during the fight is actually my ringtone lol
Lin is a BAMF!!
Amon is indeed a compelling villain ...even though he basically committed a terrorist attack this episode. I'm also so happy how much you guys are enjoying the show so far. I mean, its only been 6 episodes and you're already loving it so much. Makes me that more excited to see your reactions to the later seasons :D
And Aaron, I completely agree with your assessment about the differences between Aang and Korra!
StygianTraveler141 Eh, I don't make up the slang. Lol besides, if I use BM, all I'll be thinking is "Bowel Movement" because of my work :P
StygianTraveler141 LOL
Korra is better than Aang, sorry Aang that's just the truth lol. And yeah Lin is a BAMF and I love Amon he is my favorite villain from the show!
imaad uddin Lol I still love how for you its basically ATLA>LOK but Korra>Aang. Most people are just ATLA>LOK and Aang>Korra.
Lalisa T Lol I love me some ATLA but I love LOK too! And yeah Korra for me is just such an interesting and relatable character and how she grows throughout the show and stuff, Aang just wasn't, he was kinda boring tbh. In ATLA there were so many characters WAY more interesting and relatable than Aang even though he was supposed to be the main character. 😬 Sorry Aang fanboys/girls!

Tia Blue they sounded really similar to me
Ahh, now I know it's not tarrlok
Fun fact: the voice actor for Amon (Steve Blum) also does the voice of Zeb in Star Wars Rebels.
NICE!
true and tarlokk voices the clones (Dee bradley baker)
I like how you guys can't stop saying "That's so cool". This is exactly why I wanted you to watch this show.
One of my all-time favorite moments in Book 1 is the scene at 8:50 when the roof blows up and the ropes come down. The music in that very moment is so awesome, sends chills down my spine every time
I'm so hyped that they're so hyped for this show :D
Same
surelychoo I'm so hyped that you're so hyped that they're so hyped for this show :D
Chi-blockers are more than a match for most benders and no longer fear them. The shock gloves give the average non-bender the "power" to take on benders just like Chi-blockers can.
Sad to see you guys edit out almost the entire arena rooftop fight between Korra+Lin and the Lieutenant+Chi-blockers. One of the best (if not THE best) in the whole season.
In the US it is THE LEGEND OF KORRA due to Avatar being TM'd by James Camron and everywhere else it is Avatar: The Legend of Korra
J.R. Savage really?hmm it was the same in germany..."Die legende von Korra"
GuadGamer I see, I guess it depends on the market.
@Dalton K he’s high off the success of that blue alien movie.
@@JoshV_TX The alien movie that has made no impact on mainstream culture, whatsoever
If I'm being honest, I slightly prefer this to the first show, and I have three main reasons.
1. I personally like Korra as a lead better than Aang.
2. In LoK I notice less filler than in Last Airbender.
3. LoK seems to have bit more of an edge to it, without crossing the line into pretentious
edge-lord territory, while Last Airbender is a fair bit safer (granted, it's probably only due
to the original's success that they were able to push it further in LoK).
Also Aaron, lin isn't toph's granddaughter ahhhhh! (it gets frustrating lmaooo)
I can just imagine them making the same mistake as Flaming Shark concerning the General of the United Forces.
yes in the old air nomads every member were benders
its so great that u know that Amon is a compelling villain and u understand his motivation. I agree that the animation in this is aweosome
The comics explain who those other people at the air temple are, short version is that they're simply people who admire the culture, and who helped Aang keep the traditions of the air nation alive.
So they're not airbenders.
Eric was right about all air nomads being benders BTW, it's not something that was ever explicitly stated in the show, but the creators have confirmed it.
This, for me, is when book 1 really gets going. And I'm really happy that you guys have an open mind about the story of Korra as opposed to most reactors who insist it should be an exact replica of atla
SPOILERS!
BLINDWAVE DON'T READ
I just LOVE watching Calvin be so confident that Tarlok is Amon 😂
Cant really help it, all the bad vibes points to Tarlok
Luke Godoy SPOILERS
But a few other reactors have picked up that it's too obvious for him to be amon. And for a show like avatar they're not gonna point to tarlok lmao but I guess it depends on the viewer really
Haza179 I agree, however I think that when the owners of the blind wave channel see these comments on their account they don't see the 'read more'
Ywoontufec Mikehunt I don't think they read these comments (idk how they do it but y'know) plus that's why we put "spoilers" in the beginning just as failsafe
Paul Anthony oh I actually didn't know that I'm sorry. I'll delete my comment if that helps any bit. Edit: lmao nevermind the original commenter has to delete his comment
3:43 I'm surprised Toph let her daughter date a twinkle toes.
That guy on the rival team (the leader who got the slowmo treatment) sounds like Raimi Malek
It is :)
"It's just like the Harpies!"
Other way around, guys!
They took out Avatar from the title because of James Cameron's Avatar. That's also why the movie is called The Last Airbender.
This is one of my favorite episodes. "Spider-Lin" was awesome. I get Avatar fans being disappointed that it wasn't like ATLA and the characters and settings were too different but they ignored everything that was cool about it.
We all know that Star Trek: The Next Generation didn't get really good until the 3rd season. My theory is that even in TNG had been great from the first episode fans would have still hated it because it was too different from the old Star Trek they loved. People needed to get used to that world and those characters first.
I can't believe they didn't show the whole fight it one of the best fights in the first season i love it
According to the Avatar Wiki, Lin and Tenzin broke up because Lin didn't want to have kids and Tenzin needed to have them in order to produce more airbenders. He wanted to realise Aang's dream of repopulating the Air Nation
I'm so glad you guys seem to be enjoying this as much as I do!!!! Season 1 is so good, and though I didn't love the ending, it's positive points outweigh the negative in my opinion. This is one of my favorite episodes of this season.
Keep on reacting! Your commentary is funny and interesting, definitely the highlight of my week.
Why?? Why did they cut out their reaction to the fight? It's one of the best in the show, and what we've all been waiting for...
lol Im with you. wanted to see that so much
Yeah needed to see that fight reaction of Amon's right hand and Korra.
I understand it though, it's difficult to edit this one down to 10 minutes.
***** I guess, but did we really need to see their reaction to basically all of the council meeting, when they weren't even saying anything...?
Final Account maybe they weren't really that interested in the fight. I havent seen the whole vid yet, but if they didn't really mention it in their review at the end then it probably didn't wow them that much. If they did and said it was amazing then yeah I have no idea why they would cut it.
The voice actor for Tahno is Rami Malek, the guy from Mr. Robot!!!
After this episode it just keeps ramping up! Awesome! I can't wait for your reactions (quite literally, I almost can't wait, I suffer... because I love it so much!)
By having the power of Chi blocking, they mean you have the power to temporarily neutralize benders.
Yaaaas! As soon as I saw this episode Lin became my instant fav and tbh she's the MVP of the entire volume. I'm so hyped omg.
Can you guys tell the difference between some reactions they do? Like for Iron Fist they talk and make jokes a lot because literally so little is happening in it, whereas here their attention is toward what's happening on screen.
The Comics establish where the Air Acolytes come from.
18:35 yeah absolutely Shane, absolutely, that scene gave me so many chills.
Became a patreon just for Korra, enjoying these reactions a lot.
The air "nomads" at the air temple that aren't actually air benders are referred to as the air acolytes and they were recruited by Aang as shown in the comics. It's a really nice read, I really suggest you check it out. Also, gives more insight on Aang and Katara's future and relationship past the original series.
I'm glad you guys seem to enjoy the show as much as i did when i first watched it!.
I love how Shane is cuddling with Naga.
Great discussion and analysis. This is really making me feel like I need to rewatch the Korra series along with Blind Wave.
I really love you guys, but I waited so long for this episode (since you started watching legend of korra) and then you cut one of the best fights down to 30sec. I understand editing this isn't easy but still I was so excited to see you react to that.
Still really love this channel!
dude really?! how old are you? Why can't you comment like a normal person, if you are so much better than why do you only have 49 subs.
They don't do the editing the hired people to do the edits for the shows so it could be easier for them
I know but still they could have told them to show the fight more.
tom vandamme I agree man. I was so pumped for the fight scene and then it got cut down. I'm so disappointed.
Yes the editing isn't easy, there is so many great moments in the all the shows they watch BUT to stay within RUclips's fair use limit they have to keep the TV footage to 10 minutes. so unfortunately a few good scenes have to be cut to make room for other awesome scenes. Just the way it is.
i fucking love this channel! i wait every friday for these
some people were negative towards Korra but I knew the guys would love it. especially erik and shane..looking at what they liked about Avatar :)
I love Calvin's reaction to seeing Sang. That's exactly how I felt seeing it.
Avatars usually get visions while they are in trouble. For example: when Aang is electrocuted by azula at the end of the 2nd chapter
The 'Air acolytes' as they are called were aang's fan members, Aang taught them the ways of his people and their history so that they could help preserve the Air nomads way of life and all of the air temples. Their heritage is mostly Earth Kingdom. Before the Massacre, the air nomads were the only nation that was made up of ALL benders due to their highly spiritual nature.
I'm so hyped for ep 9, I can tell they are going to talk a lot about that ep when it comes !! waiting for friday to come every week really kills me as a fan , could you pretty please consider reacting to korra twice a week ? like you did in ATLA (Mondays & Fridays)
aaaand the shit really starts to hit the fan :D
Theres Wan guy I can't wait for them to see ;)
Eric" What is That" Amon " I believe I have your attention" that was at the right moment LOL
These guys are so frikken smart with their speculation.
I'm so glad you guys continue to enjoy the series so much! Keep theorizing, I can't until season 3!!! DO TWO A WEEK!!!
imso glad I can watch this show with people that actually understand the show and apprieate what there doing cause hearing everyone complain about things that could easily explained and have already been made clear. thank you for having an open mind
aang was in fact, the last air bender. In a canon short comic named " relics" it was revealed that many air nomads did indeed escape the initial attack from Sozin but over the course of 100 years they had either found, or tricked surviving airbenders into thinking they found a safe refuge and killed them.
This is one of my favorite episodes of Korra thank you guys so much for a great reaction.
i love that you guys love this show and i’m so happy i found out you had reactions to it
I never thought I would like reaction videos but I look forward to seeing these Korra ones
wished they reacted more from the fight i wanted them to react to that pov shot from korra elbowing the lieutenant
that was badass!!
The bending technique that Amon uses is called energy bending according to the avatar extras from ATLA.
They are the Air Acolytes, people who are not members of the Air Nation, but have dedicated their lives to restoring the culture of the Air Nation, founded by Aang of course. I think Amon just meant in the sense that you didn't have to be a Chi blocker to fight on a level playing field with benders anymore.
"HIS NAME ISN'T AVATAR ITS AANG"
me whenever someone talks about the show
you guys are the shit. Can't believe I missed your Jessica Jones reactions. Binged it last night, not disappointed. The Luke/Jessica impenetrable joke killed me dude..
Looking forward to these each week :)
Awesome reaction! I wish they would also release commentary style videos so we could see the reaction to the full episode. Like maybe take out the audio/video and leave a time stamp...
coming home from work and this the first thing I do, watch blind wave react to Korra
Great episode and reaction!
you should read the comics to check who those people who live with Tenzin family are, also on the comics explains the origin of Republic City.
jrrobles79 Arron is ready the comics right now
Next episode is 7. One of my favorite episodes.
I love it that they are so excited for Aang, he's such a really great character
All the airbenders during Aang's time were killed. Aang was truly the last. Then he had an airbender son with Katara who had a bunch of airbender children.
I shall now resurrect the meme that was going around when this episode aired... *clears throat*
o/` Spider-Lin, Spider-Lin, does whatever a Spider-Lin can, shoots a wire, way up high, pulls chi-blockers right outta the sky, LOOK OUT, here comes a Spider-Lin o/`
There are, of course, variations on the theme. But we all love Spider-Lin. :D
Gah, this wait is literally gonna kill me.
"power of chi blockers" is more of a metaphor than a literal thing
These guys are in for a treat. There is one particular scene in Out of the Past which I'm seriously looking forward to. I'm pretty sure you can guess which one it is.
On a completely different note, does anybody else find it strange that the fanbase is divided into these two groups: the ones who will spoil things without much of a thought and the ones who will assasinate the former for spoiling?
When you guys said Amons crew like the Harpies in GOT I thought the same thing.😂😂
You guys are going to really like Korra. You have the mature minds it takes to really appreciate the show & already grasp the concept of there being no large over-looming villain like Ozai was. This show is more about showing that peace doesn't happen overnight. It meant to show that Aang didn't just save the world & everything was hunky dory, peace, rainbows, and butterflies.
yes every airnomad was an airbender cause of spirituality
F**K AMON, I WANT MORE PICTURES OF SPIDER-LIN! -Tenzin
There was a boxer that used to put plaster in his gloves and nearly killed people and blinded one man for life glad they can’t bend anymore
I'm excited for you guys to figure out who Amon is! And you see PLENTY of the Avatar world outside Republic City after season 1, don't you worry!
Their reactions to the end of each episode makes me want to believe that they'll add another day for Korra
Amon is the most compelling villain in the ATLA universe. Really, the most interesting character outside of Zuko.
Now I have to go watch the entire Legend of Korra series... Thanks Blind Wave!!!!
Korra has so many cool episode, I am so happy you guys are enjoying it, also Calvin is so sure lmao
One popular theory of who Amon is is that when Aang "died" when Azula shocked him, the Avatar was reborn but then Katara brought him back. So Amon is a semi avatar that can only take bending away and energy bend. That's why Korra can't go into the avatar state but can bend the other elements.
Another theory is that Amon is similar to the first that he's a semi avatar but he can Air Bender and energy bend. That's why Korra can't Air Bend.
That first theory makes no sense because Azula killed him when he was in the Avatar State, meaning that the Avatar wouldn't have been reincarnated at all.
i like your reaction to tenzin getting shocked in the back. you really have to get used to the people youre rooting for losing a lot of the time and only barely making it out alive by pure luck alone or some other bs.
I like how Aaron immediately goes for blood bending
can't wait for their reaction of the court scene with yakone
To my understanding, Air Nomads are benders. Nonbending members of Airbender culture are called Air Acolytes.
And yes, Korra is very weak spiritually.
