24 Unpopular Opinions | The Legend of Korra 

I LOVE that they reached out to me.

@SailorYue yeah it is! For my last birthday I sent $250 to CTF.

I have $5 taken from every paycheck going to them. They hold a personal importance to me because I have nf1 and my daughter has it too, so it's great importance to me. No child should go thru that!

@@SailorYue Thank you so much for the support. And Thank you Antoine for doing this.

Way too many ads

Lin is one of my favorite characters so I get you :)

Bruh your not understanding Lin didn’t talk to suyin and toph for years while suyin and toph already worked everything out years prior to Lin finnaly even trying anything in the end she was just being stubborn

@@WigShots she had a terrible childhood why would she talk to them, they should be the one talking to her. Idk

@@zeynepyakt6342 I mean, they tried talking to her. Su does say she tried to reach out. I don't think Lin was in the wrong 30 years ago, but holding on to that grudge and refusing any chance for closure etc is on her.

Wigshots boom boom trauma affects people differently no matter how tough they seem on the outside. At the end of the day, Lin is reminded that her own sister scarred her every time she looks in the mirror. Psychologically that’s gotta take its toll and I don’t blame her for not wanting to talk to her sister or mother for so long, but hey that’s just cause sim dealing with similar stuff in therapy right now so I don’t know

Agreed, one of the best part of the series is the integration of bending in people's lives even outside of combat, like the mail system in Omashu, the lightning bending in factories and metal bending in art.

I think sandbenders, swampbenders, and sun warriors should of all had more screen time

Adil Hoxha meh, I think the sun warriors and the swamp benders already served their purpose

IMO, the distinction of the swampbenders and sandbenders from more standard water and earthbenders was almost completely superfluous. Aside from characters like Yu, they barely utilize any sort of unique styles or abilities than any common bender of that respective element could.

I have a fan fiction, where a major villain is a incredibly powerful sand bender.

EXACTLY BRUH, meelo was annoying to me

I think he meant that as in “Sokka is even worse than Meelo” because most of his jokes are still quite immature and slightly offensive, plus his voice is pretty spazzy and annoying too. Like in the middle of the climactic, serious battle between Aang and Ozai, he goes, *“gO aAnG!1! AiRbEndInG sLiCe!1!1!”* I must admit he isn’t *as much* of a necessary character in ATLA as the rest (in terms of plot he still is pretty requisite) but he isn’t a terrible character. I do still think it’s better than him not being there at all, but I think he could have been written to grow up slightly more noticeably.

The AViator I completely disagree with you. Especially with the “he isn’t as much of a necessary character in ATLA as the rest.” Also, how the hell are his jokes offensive?

@@theaviator1152 bro what are you talking about Sokka was vital to team Avatar he was the man with a plan without him they would have never got as far as they did.....

Meelo is also 5 so at least the portrayal is accurate

Most people that hate Korra don't make sense

I think its because most people haven't been able to rewatch the series after it originally aired, which caused misconceptions like this to circulate.

The series was also aired poorly. Part of it was on TV, then put online only, then on TV again. Nickelodeon handles their best shows pretty bad lol

@@withlovemiki yeah

I think sometimes people refer to the show as “Korra” as a shorthand rather than the actual Korra.

Read this comment while being in an unskippable ad

Just report the ad then it’ll skip that’s what I’ve been doing for years

@@zaylendaniels you can do that..?

They getting real bold with them double ads too

Yeah 😂

THIS

So maybe the reason why I find LoK legit good show is because I never thought of ATLA as anything all that legendary either.

My rant aside though, you do bring up an interesting point. I do wonder what the reception would have been like if LOK came first, and then ATLA...

@@zee4125 I still think atla would have a better reception. Atla is a masterpiece that deserves to go down in history. That me be a slight exaggeration but it's my favourite show. I'm obsessed with anything fantasy and Atla is the best fantasy story I've come across

I like LOK, I love ATLA. I feel like why most ppl hate LOK, is because it doesn't have as much awesome comic relief as ATLA. Also, most people where angry about the ATLA season 4 that was stripped from them when LOK aired.

This, exactly this. You put it in words better than I ever could. I also think that people just forget that she's literally 12 in the OG series. People change when they grow up, even 10 years later. I sure as hell am not the same as I was when I was 12, nor do I necessarily have the exact same opinions or values that I did at that age. That being said I think what you said absolutely lines up with Toph's character.

@@WolfWarrior623 Haters mostly just need a reason to hate on Korra without context. As one of the people said if LOK came first, this would've been rated a lot higher.

Also the current political atmosphere concerning police, it more than likely has nothing to do with the character herself.

Phillip Gouthier ok now that’s a stretch

@@pale_hispanic2429 is it though? There's a article on Inverse that argues just that. Considering everything thats happened and is happening this year I would be surprised if people weren't trying to make this same point. Not that I agree that somehow becoming a police officer ruined her character, have you seen old lady Toph?

Royal Momasty

I agree.

̶n̶o̶ ̶o̶f̶f̶e̶n̶s̶e̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶m̶o̶m̶o̶,̶ ̶b̶u̶t̶ ̶p̶a̶b̶u̶'̶s̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶b̶e̶s̶t̶ * runs away like the end of that "Bending Battle" short *

And pabu, they are some of the best characters in the entire franchise

I felt some type of way when I heard the lord momo cap

Zaheer was amazing and I loved his philosophy but how can you not love Kuvira, she's the great uniter for a reason

How is that unpopular

@@hadarmoshe4977 Seriously, isnt that literally everyone thinks?

@Ellie Fuller Why I think Kuvira is the greatest avatar villian ever, altough she came after Zaheer who is in definite contention is simply because, she is a reflection of Korra, albeit a better one, she's is doing the things that the avatar is supposed to be doing, but Korra was too broken to do as she in itself was exactly the thing all the villians throughout the series wanted to stop. The non democratic, authoritarian, super power, who is revered as well as feared. Kuvira is fighting for democracy, a non monarchy world where rulers are no chosen by birthright. Yet once again she takes it to far, like all villains in Korra do, and then gains this sense of hypocrisy. At first you understand why the villains are doing this things, Amon, equality for all, Unalaq, freedom to the spirits, Zaheer, no monarchies and super powers, Kuvira, democracy. So you understand them and kind of support them, then they take it to far.

@Ellie Fuller See my other comment

Also it makes sense with the show's thesis of progression. In the ATLA finale and especially in the comics the past avatars could no longer give Aang meaningful advice because the world has progressed beyond their knowledge and their wisdom is antiquated. Future avatars would be hindered by the past avatars.

Kendal Kendorable I totally agree. Aang didn’t have to take any of the Avatar’s advice and most of the time he didn’t lol. Aang and Korra chose their own paths at the end of the day. The connections to the past Avatar’s isn’t a necessity in my opinion.

Ellie Fuller That would be a cool storyline for a 3rd series.

Kendal Kendorable I disagree with this because aang proves to be useful to korra when she lost her bending and I think he could’ve been really useful with korras ptsd

@@Kendorable That's not what happened in the comics Aang was pissed at Roku because of what happened in that comic but later Aang realizes he needs Roku and the other Avatars for advice. Plus despite she spent less time with them Korra found out about Tarrlock from Aang and got her bending back because of him and found out about Vaatu from Wan.

Thank you for this comment

I highly agree man. Mako needs more respect

My beef with LOK is its story it's characters are honestly kind of dull like you can see how good they could have been if the writers put a little more time in to fleshing them out... but they kind of just mistreated most of their characters except tenzin which honestly he's one of the few things I like about LOK. He's the only character with a proper arc

Yeah. Honestly, things like the love triangle might not have even been that bad if they delved more into what it meant to the characters. Why does Mako have trouble with relationships? Because of his past. Then we can grow to understand him more and think of him as less like just a jerk. Bolin gets a lot of amazing stuff on the show, but I feel like among the 4, he grows emotionally the least. Asami had a really interesting arc, but that was either used to further the plot (like in Book 2) or hastily crammed into Book 4. I feel like with better character development, LoK could have been SUCH a better show.

He killed Ming Hua*

She was the one who made the decisions that led to it

Wolfwarrior But she was lied to and manipulated, so it’s not her fault.

It really wasn’t her fault Raava was literally forced out her body, it’s Unalaq/Vaatu’s fault.

@@yutah. she trusted an uncle she just met over her father of 17 years ... the first thing she should have done when speaking to unalaq is figure out how to access the past lives for guidance on changing the world... so many things wrong

Wolfwarrior she’s a teenager, it happens. Especially because her father lied to her for so many years and her parents hid her from the world, so naturally she didn’t trust them for a little bit.

i'm not sure what I missed but what did suyin do that's so cruel lmao

@Grace Fu however I do 100% agree she is done dirty a lot and the bitter lonely woman line by korra rly pissed me off

I think people hate on Su too much. Yes she did bad things and ran with a bad crowd in her youth but so did other characters like Kai who stole things from others and Mako and Bolin who once worked with the triple threats. Both Lin and Su grew up with Toph as a mother who wanted them to be free due to not feeling she had enough freedom as a child which affected BOTH kids and it’s one thing for Lin to not wanna be on good terms with Su but she had no right to take it out on Su’s daughter and Su and Toph did work things out. As for Su not helping the earth kingdom when it was in anarchy she actually made a good point in that marching in and taking over it wouldn’t automatically solve all the rioting and chaos. After all the people of the earth kingdom were previously ruled by a selfish queen who took air benders against their will for her own agendas so the people of the earth kingdom likely wouldn’t automatically accept someone coming in and trying to tell them what to do.

@Grace Fu I'd have to agree, she was a selfish and very harmful hypocrite with very likeable exterior and personality, which as some have coined it; "making her morally grey". Aside for Toph, she really contributed a lot to the fracturing of their family and it was one of the biggest things that kept me grinding my teeth at the show because of how they seemingly reward and openly apologise for abusive and terrible characters, while lambasting cartoonishly traumatised and abused ones like Lin. I guess it makes sense for Korra to side with Suyin like that, they're both abusive pricks that never got their comeuppance from the people who come from a genuine place, both being horribly abusive to people they are closest to.

@@dmastermanga Korra called out Lin for going off at Opal who was only trying to be nice. Opal tried to communicate and get to know her aunt and she threw a tantrum at her that was meant for her sister. Korra was right to call her out at that moment because Lin was being a prick. Even later all she says is to apologize to Opal. In regards to Su, she's a snake, but she turned her life around, became a mother and founded Earth Kingdom's most impressive city. She sits high on her own horse, but she's definitely changed for the better and she did try to reach out to make amends. Lin didn't want any of that and that isn't Su's fault. I don't think any party was in the right.

Thanks! Will do!

If that's unpopular then people really have no taste lol

@@WriterofWorlds like the boxing on wii sports, but 3-3 and elements

Agreed

I could watch a full series about probending

But in the end if he didn’t run away he would’ve been killed so in a way he saved himself

@@iloveowls90 that's not the point, the point was that running away wasn't nice, even if it was the right move in the end.

@@iloveowls90 I keep hearing this all the time that he would have died. I highly doubt that, he was literally being sent away (the eventual morning of his runaway) to learn the other elements and for his own protection. It's not like he would have been in the air temples when the war was happening, he would have most likely been in the northern water tribe learning waterbending and seeing how competently the waterbenders of the north could fight the fire nation, he would have been pretty safe.

peacendpola23 Imo Varrick is.

I don't think we get enough meelo, but i do think he gives sokka a run for his money

Meelo was more annoying than anything..sokka ftw

@@cpreston09 just cuz ya hate kids doesn't mean he was any more annoying than sokka lol. ATLA fanboys, man

Sokka was a meh character, Meelo a good character... That's why. ATLA have only a few good characters.

i like to think about it as oplin but whatever lol

Arjun as toph said the names change but the streets stay the same 😂actually don’t think that makes sense in this situation but whatever lol

He was a big simp at start tho.

Lava bending is natural extension, he didn’t have to learn he just figure out he could

nevermind404 true but so was aang

But Aang purposely severed his connection in the comics and no one says anything about that

@@F4keFelipx True

@@F4keFelipx I thought he only severed his connection with one: Roku, b'coz he hated firebending.🤔🤔 Maybe I don't know

I didn't think Korra did it on purpose, but it's still silly that it happened, for me. (Purely from a writing perspective) before 'Beginnings' the Avatar state was summoning the collective power and wisdom of past Avatars, however Rava still lives in her anyway (I guess). I know this is a bit pick, but the point is, she's able to still break the power sealing and do all this crazy stuff despite having her power source disconnected. This is me being obsessed with consistency. It's just my opinion.

@@marshmallowvampire8503 The avatar state combines the knowledge and wisdom of the Past Avatars, Raava provides the power

Yep

True. Hello Future Me did an excellent video explaining it that actually helped me a lot. But the thing is, when he says Beginnings fixed "loopholes", well... it's a soft magic system so hard core rules are better left out not just because it's easier but it allows creative freedom. And from a non nerdy writer perspective, it just allows the world to be mysterious and seem broader b'coz of things that are unknown. But that's just my opinion. It's not that big of a deal.

@@marshmallowvampire8503 I agree that sometimes some things should be left mysterious but when you want to build a literal universe (what Avatar creators said that they want to do. They want Avatarverse to be like Marvel Cinematic Universe or star wars universe or dc unverse) you will need that time by time reveal all vague and mysterious things in the lore to expand it further and be easier to grasp later in the whole circle

@@Trans_SovietBee disagree. Harry Potter universe managed to do just that without explaining the origins of the magic. beginnings overwrote the lore, in my opinion. In the cave of two lovers they went out of their way to show the first human earth benders Oma an Shu learning from badgermoles. That would have been the time to mention the Lionturtles. But not a single lionturtle was shown there. In beginnings they could have shown Oma and Shu, but instead they retconned the story and showed people receiving bending from lionturtles. No badgermoles were shown.

Facts 💅

Then create one

General Grievous oh good gosh i cant believe i never thought of that im such an egg brain

you can come back now

Lol you funny

*rolling my eyes*

@@gumballwatterson5037 no one needs you den, lmao bye

he did actually fall in love with a girl... her name was jasmine

Same

Yes, Tarrlok was a good antagonist. But like Zhao, for some reason he's not so memorable.

LMAO daaaaayum.

Antoine Bandele Guess she didn’t care enough 😂

Or why she doesn’t just carry around a jug of it on Appa’s back

@@mac.trammel Katara: Sorry Jet but Aang and Zuko actually are worth something

Sam Dude LMAOOO

Yeah you just have to not expect it to be exactly like ATLA ya know

I didn’t like it on my first watch a couple years ago (mainly due to Korra herself) but I ordered the series a couple days ago so I’m going to rewatch it when it arrives. I watched MANY videos from all ends of the spectrum of LoK fans/haters and got some new perspective. I’m excited to see how my opinions have changed, especially since I was like 13ish when I last saw it.

Corey Klaustermeier I had the same experience but didn’t get to watch the show fully because of school and I recently watched it fully on Netflix in a span of 4 days

@@coreyklaustermeier7329 That's great, I'm glad you watched both sides to get different opinions. I feel like most people nowadays only watch what they agree with.

I did notice that watching it a second time around I started to truly appreciate the social complexities and the variety of characters.

But doesn’t Korra nearly end it too?

Yeeuuuuppp!

That wasn't his fault either lol. It's not even that he lost in a fight, when he went into the avatar state I don't think it was his intention to float up into the sky and give Azula an easy target Korra was kinda the reason it got to that point for trusting her uncle way too much, but I don't blame her for that

In the comics he literally ended the cycle. Not only did he lose connections he almost ended the avatar cycle

I think it's not Korra's fault either. Hear me out. She's a teen who didn't experience being a normal teen and didn't taught about love by her parents because they are focus on secluding her, protecting her and training her as an avatar in the South. That's all she knows. Then she goes to republic city and has a crush. She don't know what she gonna do about it because Mako is already taken but Pema kind of gave her a bad advice. She told her about her and Tenzin love story where he is still dating Lin. So maybe that's what go through her mind. Confess to the guy you like so you both end up together or something like that. Again, she's a teen but she learns thru experience. Hahaha!

BE HAPPY I understand but that doesn’t make it okay and it doesn’t shift any fault from her. I never said was her fault exclusively, I’m just saying she played a part in it too.

Korra pulled an Aang.

Why does everyone forget that Pema told Korra to go for it - she was taking an older woman's advice: the wife of her master. And it had worked for Pema, so...

@Menkir Dennis Was it, though? Didn't Tenzin leave Lin for Pema? Didn't Mako eventually end up leaving Asami for Korra? "Homewrecker" lol They're teenagers; teenagers rarely date for more than a few weeks.

YUP

Thats not what being referenced means. It's the same way dragoms didnt give anyone fire bendkng despite them being the teachers

True, but the Lion Turtles are already a thing of contention amongst fans of ATLA. It kinda came out of nowhere and was kind of a cop-out for Aang. Also, people don't like it because it made avatar less compelling just watch Hello Futures Me's video on Beginning and you can understand.

okay, so, here's my issue with the way the spirit world was treated throughout the whole of the Legend of Korra: mysticism and aesthetic. beginnings didn't ruin the lore in the sense that it added information that made things make less sense... it weakened the mysticism of the lore by over explaining things that we didn't need to know. I do not need Koh the face stealer's life story. I only need to see Koh the face stealer for one tense scene. and I will pick up on the idea that, in a mythic sense, this is an ancient thing that has seen eons pass... something primordial and strange. or like, in the video, the comment that mentions beginnings talks about questions raised by the legends of early benders learning bending from nature... stuff like "could Tui and La teach Sokka to waterbend" or whatever. but that is taking things way too literally. these are fables. folk tales. they tell of something from a long, long time ago. it's something where the people of the modern day passed it down, but they don't really know if it's true or not... like how I, as a modern person, relate to the myth of Promethius stealing fire from the gods to give to mankind. sometimes you have to let some of your story rest on the things that we know for sure, and sometimes you have to let some of your story rest on the spaces between. sometimes the things that a viewer's mind will wander to in the absence of concrete answers is better than what could be described in explicit detail. and beyond that is the aesthetic of the spirit world. which my heart is completely divided about, because ultimately, I think that the visual style of beginnings is very beautiful to look at. but it is simply the wrong choice for what they're trying to depict, in the same way that this story beat is the wrong choice for the kind of mystical, folkloric role that spirits are supposed to play in the Avatar series. older ATLA spirits borrowed a lot from the feel that I get off of yokai... they seem at once to be eerily physical beings... moreso than ghosts. they're almost like fae folk... kind of with their own sense of morals or priorities, and they don't prioritize letting humans in on what their morals or priorities even are. in some ways, they're unfathomable. and they're very naturalistic... the things they don't communicate kind of read the same way as when you stumble upon a wild animal in the woods. it's intelligent, though you don't necessarily know what it is thinking, or what it might do, and your own level of comfort or safety is not necessarily it's concern. to get a little more specific in my complaining: the aesthetic of the spirit world is too bright and saturated in LoK. everything is candy colored, and a lot of the spirits are basically just pokemon. and in regards to Rava and Vatu... I get what is being said about balance in this video. he's saying that it's not as though "balance" means needing equal amounts of good and bad, thus necessitating a certain amount of bad in the world to balance good in a very literal way... rather, it's more of a yin and yang, push and pull sort of thing. but Rava and Vatu are still very explicitly coded as good vs. evil, which I'm not a fan of. that feels so... western values of them? true yin and yang doesn't code traits as good or evil... just in opposition. for example, truth vs. ideals could be seen as opposing concepts with effective uses and things to watch out for. if you have too much truth, you start to become critical, cynical, possibly even paranoid in your skepticism. but if you become too idealistic, you can become delusional, disingenuous, or even complacent about reality in favor of a narrative you've let yourself believe in instead. that said, truth keeps you sharp, and grounded in reality, while ideals keep you hoping for better things, even if stuff seems bad in the moment. this is a true push and pull between opposite concepts. neither one is good or evil. and you can see how a person would benefit from keeping a balance between the two, and not letting one or the other take over their mindset in full. obviously that's only one example, but you can see how this idea of yin and yang as equal and opposing forces could permeate other areas of thought and action, to create an all encompassing ideology. to me, Tui and La already showed this very well. of the two, neither one was coded as bad or good... they simply revolved around each other in a kind of symbiosis. each needed the other in order to define themselves, like the physical phenomenon of shadows in relation to light. this could never have been how anyone would see Rava and Vatu based on their visual presentation... they are very much presented as good and bad. they are literally black and white. and while Tui and La were black and white as well, they each had a bit of the other's color on them. basically, the visual style of beginnings is too bright, literal, and explicit. everything loses its philosophical complexity because the show tells you the answers too much. you don't get to think on the concepts it brings to the table and come to your own conclusions. and it isn't cohesive with ATLA at all in terms of that. this is not to say that I didn't like anything about beginnings... and I think people should be happy watching it for the thing that it is. I'm not begrudging anyone their enjoyment. but what I've said here remains the way that I feel about how it slots into ATLA's lore.

Lore Goblin that was beautiful bro

in between season one and two is six months, in between two and three is a short time, maybe a few weeks at most. 3 and 4 is 3 years

I love this sensitivity sometimes confused with something feminine, I think from the point of view of the fire nation the fact that he is not aggressive makes him feminine, I would so much like the series to go deeper into this, I watched the batman yesterday and the Robert has a bit of this about not knowing how to talk about what he's feeling, but it's easy to understand why he has this sensitivity, usually very masculine men get bitter when they don't get what they want

@@danielalaiz419 yeah, that sensitivity was a really fascinating facet of Aang’s character. I wish it was explored more.

Nope. ATLA get amnesia when it comes to that.

But that was because of the martial arts that inspired Fire bending in the first place. In ATLA each bending had its own unique style, and if iirc in Korra all fights are "samey-y" (it's been a while since I watched it but I don't remember any that stands out)

BUT he incorerates breakdancing moves (antiones words not mine) and learns the breath of fire from iroh, he redirects lightning, and honestly what else is he supposed to do? it comes from the body, how else is the fire gonna get out

@@edennara I rewatched about 20 fights, and it's not even as much boxing/punching as people say it is. It's really only the 3 probenders that fight like that along with fire benders. @Jesús Reyes I'll have to agree with you on the fire bender thing. Anyone else outside of them fighting normally with about 15% punching/boxing.

@@MrAlquimista666 ^^

Ehm the last agni kai ehm

Heru Jr. of Kemet I respect ur opinion, even if it is wrong :)

@@jax1384 a opinion can't be wrong

Hahaha!

If Tenzin ended up with Lin there’s a lot less of a chance for the air bending genes to pass on to their children because you got those godly Beifong earth bender genes in there. That’s if Lin would even want kids. Pema saved the air nation before harmonic convergence.

Korra was decreasing in ratings I’m sure that y they couldn’t run 20 episodes a season but don’t blame them she had so much to live up to

@@xavierprince5753 But that's also their fault mostly. First of all, originally they were only going to give Korra 12 episodes so essentially 1 book. But then they told the creators that they're going to have another season almost towards the end of book 1 so they had to change things up again. Which means that the writing has to change big time. And that's a general theme with Korra: production woes that result to not the greatest writing. As far as I know, Korra was giving GoT a run for their money in ratings for at least 1 book. And why would you say that she had so much to live up to as if she's the one writing, producing, and animating her story? lmao It all goes back to what Antoine was saying where fans blame Korra (when it was Unavaatu or precisely, the writers) as if it was her own conscious self deciding to take her past lives away from her.

Lincoln Learns Art ohh I understand ur take on that. Thanks for correcting me but the amount of changes they did drove the fan base away from korra and the fact that we didn’t see her learn the elements or go on journeys and show the true qualities of a good avatar helped too.but the change was a bit too overwhelming

@@xavierprince5753 They had to shorten the timeline of her learning the elements because they were only originally going to have 1 book. Plus they have to make a good story and develop the characters in 12 episodes. Is that enough? Absolutely not! Had they given this series the same opportunities and playing field as ATLA, a lot of it's issues would not exist. ATLA never had to worry about any of this. Haha. I guess all I'm saying is it's those executives fault for not having a clear cut direction as to where Korra was going which is what I originally said with my comment. This show (and other shows) would have been great if not for production woes. And now, it seems like Netflix plans to do the same thing with the live action of ATLA. What is up with these production companies?

If they had 20 episodes a season, knew what they were going to do from the beginning and had korrasami as the endgame relationship in mind since season 1, I honestly think that tlok would’ve been better than atla. Like IMAGINE what they could’ve done with the red lotus. They didn’t even have flashbacks to korra as a child, or anyone’s childhood for that matter.

One night stand? Mum left for the milk?

I assume Azulan arranged his marriage, and maybe the wife died after childbirth? Maybe Iroh doesn't want someone in that way anymore?

BOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!

Iroh = part man part women part demigod

PERIODT

i agree about amon, but ozai was a very good villain in my opinion lol

I agree but azula was the best

Amon was badass. I wish he was in the show beyond season 1

I think that's because Ozai was just pure evil. Amon on the other hand, had a actual motive. He not only practiced one of the most dangerous styles, but had a tragic backstory.

@@leighbelk769 I think it has to do with Ozai being a more background villain. He was very important to the story, but almost everything he does is in flashbacks or mentioned. Let's just make a hypothetical scenario to prove his irrelevance in the final part of the story. Let's imagine that Ozai was sick and he was dying. Everything with Zuko and the day of the black sun happens the same, but Ozai actually dies before the comet and his second evil brother or something takes the rains. Zuko still fights Azula and wins, both characters get their endings, and Aang fights that new evil guy and wins. Apart from that last scene with Zuko asking for his mother absolutely nothing changes. Aang has no personal quarrels with Ozai, but with the leader of the fire nation, thus he is replaceable there. Neither Zuko, Iroh nor Azula confront him ever after that, so nothing changes as well. Ozai was a great plot point, but not a great character.

I think Mako is the way he is because he has been taking care of him and Bolin from a young age. He didn't have a privileged childhood like Korra and Asami.

Mako doesn’t deserve the hate he gets honestly like he didn’t do anything that is so bad to the point people hate on him.

The thing is people expected Zuko and ZUATARA from mako and makorra, and the latter is more relatable, but Zuko is more inspiring definitely

@@shapy9539 that is true. But for people to say he's completely bland like he didnt live on the streets along with bolin and was part of a gang for years kinda makes me sad :(

Mako deserve better on the show

CRAZY ridiculous.

Cheyenne Harrigan even if they meant it was her fault cuz she was defeated, it wasn’t rlly her fault either, she didn’t go “Eh I guess I’ll just lose cuz I’m bored” which is also ridiculous

@@nagapandian yes. It was due to Unalaq having full awareness of his spiritual understanding and where that aligns. While Korra was still in the midst of learning her spiritual capability.

Naga Pandian I mean even though she fought and didn’t just lay down, it’s still mostly her fault. If aang had lost to Ozai and the fire nation continued to conquer the rest of the world, people wouldn’t say, “ it’s not really aang’s fault’ it’s not like he just gave the world to Ozai. It wouldn’t matter, it would be his fault why the world would have been out of balance and same for Korra’a situation

Cheyenne Harrigan I still don’t think it’s their fault if they lost but we all have a opinion so yeah lol

blender?

@@samiranghosh9535 we must end all blending. we can only use stones and mortars now.

That is definitely not unpopular

Yeah nah not unpopular. Goated character

And thats a fact

He's not my favorite, but he's probably one of the top 5.

I agree with this! I love Tenzin

Lin and Tenzin together = No kids = No Jinora. I like Jinora.

Yeah but if the theory that Sokka was suyin’s father is true then tenzin and Lin would have been some sort of step cousins But hey just pointing it out not awkward at all🤗

Manuel Novas actually, if Lin & Tenzin had children together, those children would be very powerful b/c they’d have Aang & Toph’s genetics.

I like them together, but honestly, the thing that makes their relationship spicy is the fact that they broke up in the past. If we wouldn't have known ABT the differences and stuff, beifongs sacrifice wouldn't have the same impace Also when su says no wonder Tenzin ended things with you, it broke me, in a good way

@@sayyidf.b.6378 And Katara's.

for me book 4 was the worst and i actually think book 3 and 1 are joint first

@@a_bruuuhhh9286 I agree, although I now think 4 isn't as bad as I once thought because of Korras irl relatable arc/inner battle with depression etc, just the finale is meh compared with 1 & 3, shoulda been Amon as the final boss

@@a.bit.Sketch yeah tbh now i think s3 is the best by far and season 4 is arguably the worst or season 2. season 1 was good but i think it had tons of wasted potential and amons character was handled badly

She was still salty at her ex lol

Wow! The only reasoning I can come up with is they were being chased by the Dai Li considering the scene after that.

No i think they had that pepper tony thing going on

@Ellie Fuller I think the idea was Varrik took her forgranted because he didnt realize how good he had it..once he lost her he realized which is why his feelings and treatment of her changed. Also, she wasnt ever a slave, she was willfully employed and could quit at anytime..it makes sense that only someone who was actually secretly in love with their boss would stay and put up with all his demands and ecentricities on Zhu Lis part..but she deffinatly did see that he didnt value her which is why she didnt go back to being his assitant in the end. Power dynamics can change, and in the end, their dynamic was equalized as she herself said he needed to treat her as an equal if he wanted her back in his life. But I also dont think the relationship was thought through in S2. It was probbaly halfway through S3 or at the start of 4 that they thought it would be a good angle. Which like the rest of LOK is why it feels like it comes out of no where.

@@vianjelos yes, she was strong enough to leave him if she wanted, but she never did because she stayed with him voluntarily. And I agree, she had already feelings for him.

I agree. The whole point of Raava and Vatu is balance so if there is an Avatar then there should also be an anti avatar

I don’t agree. It just reminds me of stereotypical “oh lemme slap some dark colors onto something and call it the evil version of something”.

I’m pretty sure Raava and Vatu were meant symbolize chaos and order. Making one evil or dark and the other good is very basic.

@@meow-en4wk like I said, I like the concept, but not necessarily how it was executed.

JeriahReacts I know, but the concept itself is very stereotypical.

Then again she is just Aang reincarnated 😂 I think people forget that part 😂

I’m good with this one tbh. Pabu is adorable

That's unpopular?

You dare disgrace our lord and savior momo the great

He *is* Very Cute, Yeah.

No

i disagree i think taking away the past lives was great for Lok i didn’t like it but i think it was great that the avatar state had to restart because the past lives don’t always benefit the current avatar like how roku told aang to kill his own grandson, and when aang went to his predecessors for help they all told him to kill ozai. and last but not least the world was entering a new era of technology and modernization so i thought how much help would the past lives really be besides the avatar state

IIcOnIc_Sw1ft YT tbh if it wasn’t for a lion turtle he just so happened to meet killing was probably the only choice to kill ozai. Having someone to talk to is always going to be good even with a new technology age.

FaTaL Reckz the point i was trying to make is they won’t be able to asses future avatars to the standardized need

Yes I want a little series about team avatar

IIcOnIc_Sw1ft YT what does technology have to do with giving someone your advice on a topic.

Also I can tell he work really hard and cares about this channel

Korra was not dark at all.

@@adeptdamage3669 I meant darker then the original series

I can see that. I personally liked him a lot more in the last 2 seasons (especially 4). But potty humor can be done right, and I don’t think it really was in Meelo’s case

I don't hate him, but he's overrated.

me mo, yeah

Same. He acts like a VERY disobedient and rude child, he needs to be spanked. I'm 100% sure that air benders/acolytes are not supposed to act rude, selfish, sexist, and self-centered. Not to mention that he blames his mistakes on others. He reminds me a lot of the two Bumi and the childish/fun Aang but he's just too much. Fart jokes; that ain't it. Don't mention the fact that he's a young child. It's extremely concerning that he acts like this. I hated it when he took the phone and acted all 'grown-up' and stuff. That's just rude. Pema, whatever happened to Meelo? That man needs to be disciplined.

i liked him for being annoying and mean, but i can 100% understand why someone would hate that.

I think in Korra they definitely made the past lives seem less relevant. The avatar state was more like a slight boost which kind of upset me. I disagree on this one mostly because the past lives are extremely helpful in the avatar state, and without it many battles would’ve been lost in both shows.

Korra isn’t the last avatar but she would’ve started over the avatar cycle as the first avatar. I think the next avatar would only have connection to korra as a past life, but unavaatu severed the connection to the rest of them before korra

Chief Cleve thats not how it works It doesn’t restart with her its legit gone An avatar can’t ever talk to an old avatar ever again So instead Korra wrote bunch of letters for the next avatar because she won’t be there to talk

@@Seven-vn6qi Actually you are wrong. Korra refused Herself with Raava the exact same way that Wan did. Starting at Korra, new Avatars will have a connection of their past lives back until Korra. No, they won't be able to connect past her but there is literally no reason to believe they can't connect to past lives that are Korra or afterwards.

Flying Dutchman because its the letters have legit been written so its canon

Revenant but I thought tenzin made her write those letters as a back up/contingency plan just in case she won’t have the connection to future avatars. He said “ Future Avatars may not have connections to their past lives“. Operative word “May not” meaning they don’t know for sure if that’s gonna happen. But the show goes out the way to point out that korra refused with raava and reestablished the avatar cycle, she did the very same thing wan did when he began the avatar cycle, so I don’t see why future avatars shouldn’t have connection to her. I understand how they may not connect to avatars before korra since Korra lost those, but I don’t see why the next avatar shouldn’t connect to korra

I was way past the ATLA target market when it aired first, i became interested in ATLA when I watched the episode where the gaang discovered the air nomad genocide, i was like "cool, this is portrayed, i'm gonna watch this" , but then got bored because it feels like too childish for me because they were so laidback considering the responsibility so i stopped watching, then i watched the finale and felt underwhelm that there is no challenge at all, aang goes to avatar stated and that's it. When i watch TLOK, it was jarring at first, then i saw in Korra her urgency to always be on the forefront of the problem and try to solve it immediately, i think maybe it jived with my personality so i liked it more. Plus when i saw her rebel against tenzin, her father etc.. Man i saw myself in her. Aang is kinda boring really, compare to the explosiveness of kyoshi and korra.

@Bruce Wayne It wasnt nerfed, it just seems powerful in the hands of aang because he lacked control over it

@Bruce Wayne Immortal means you live forever, neither Aang nor any avatar for that matter is immortal. Aang lacks control over the AS this causes more harm than good, and staying in it for far too long has negative consequences especially since this is what led to Aangs demise at 66yrs old. Korra uses the avatar state the way it's supposed to be used in short controlled bursts, and she has Raava at her at full power, Korras foes are a lot smarter and more powerful as well. The dark spirit she faced was a lot stronger due to the amount of darkness in the world, the latter especially applies to Vaatu especially since he's the great spirit of chaos and darkness and thus draws power and strength from them and as a result his influence increases as well, Korra used the avatar state against him and she was winning despite the strength and power Vaatu had, she nearly sealed him away but her uncle pulled a sneak attack on her, in season 3 Korra was forced into the avatar state due to the mercury poison the Red Lotus used on her, and again despite this serious disadvantage she was winning against Zaheer, hell she had him running and she would've finished him had the mercury not taken effect, and in season 4 when Korra entered it in her first round against Kuvira she was winning, but her PTSD got ahead of her Almost everytime Korra went into the AS for combat purposes there was always something outside of her control that prevented her victory.

Yeah, but that's Uunalang fault

they shouldn't be angry at Korra tho

imo what makes lok not so good is the fact that there were too many characters, too much story and too little time to actually feel something for them. Relationships seemed to end as fast as they started and characters developed too fast or not at all. ATLA was so good because it was a slow burner with a relatively small main cast, I mean I don't even know who the main characters in LOK are, Korra, Asami, Bolin, and Mako? But then there are so many other characters who take the spotlight so often that it's hard to tell. It just seems disorganized at times, still a good show but it has a lot of issues.

True

Yep

Ikr

And bolin too

Hard agree.

Idk if he is more powerful than other villains but I agree that it might have been better if they faced the villains in a different order

Fun fact Amon was killed off in the first season because LOK was supposed to be a one season series and they didn’t want any cliff hangers

@@Qxestionable, for me he IS the most powerful villain in TLOK The Ability to remove Element Bending can only be done by the Avatar, until Amon's Father came in and Amon became an even more powerful version of his father.

I'm a Blackkking speaking of Amon returning, a little fun fact. Ming-Hua’s character in the red lotus came from a joke the creators were making about Amon surviving the explosion and lost his arms. That’s how Ming hua was armless and used water bending for her arms

Nah Unalaq is a thousand times stronger than Amon due to his avatar state.

Literally

Was really waiting for this comment.

Those eyebrows tho

@@idksomedude3032 his eyebrows are literally the best part 😏

HIMBO RIGHTS

I think the official reason was because Lin didnt want any kids (Family issues). And obviously Tenzin wanting to preserve his culture. So he picked Pema

No lies detected.

Truer words have never been spoken

@Menkir Dennis no it wasn't

@Menkir Dennis no it wasn't, you're victim blaming

@Menkir Dennis 1. Korra was both shocked and trying to defend herself when Vaatu popped out of Unalaqs mouth which is something NO ONE ANTICIPATED, not her fault. 2. That's the problem Tonraq was being too overprotective treating Korra as she were still a little girl when she was really around 18. Unalaq was Korras uncle and chief of the Northern Water Tribe and he was treating Korra the way she wanted to be treated. Add to the fact that Tonraq and Tenzin had lied to Korra her entire life as they were the ones who decided to keep Korra within that compound her entire life, and her dad had a rather shady past she'd just learned about. Neither of them gave Korra a valid reason why she shouldn't trust Unalaq, even when she gave them multiple chances at doing so, and while he was sketchy to us, the characters not being aware of that stuff is one of the most common if not the foundation of media from movies, comics, video games, novels and the like. Not to mention Unalaq did teach Korra plenty of useful stuff, and he was right about opening the spirit portals.

ATLK???

It’s just LoK

Yes.

@02JR Swag Counterpoint: Hundun.

Amon should have been able to remove bending without touching his victim (He uses bloodbending which isn't some kind doesn't need physical contact) even the Avatar won't stand a chance against that (Assuming that going into Avatar State won't enable it again).

Manuel Novas he’s not supposed to be able to bend though. That was a secret

momo

@@MENGGMS That would be sick but also too OP. I think its good the way it is. also maybe its like ming hua where she can bend water without touching it, but its easier to touch it

There was an Avatar games years ago and there was an airbender that told the Fire Nation about the temples and their locations, helping in the genocide. He survived (from what I remember, apparently not canon though) for helping the Fire Nation. Although I really can help but think that not all the airbenders just lived at the temples, I mean they were nomads! Here's my theory: Yes, the new airbenders have ancestry of airbenders. The airbenders weren't killed because they weren't at the temples and joined the Earth Kingdom for refuge. They lost their airbending abilities through generations because they're disconnected from their spirituality. (This happened to Kyoshi's mother, she abandoned her Air Nomad culture and her airbending was like blocked or something.) After Harmonic Convergence and the world being out of balance, balance was restored and new airbenders! Also, Ty Lee is a descendant of airbenders in my opinion. (There's a whole theory lol)

Avatar: Not The Last Airbender?

Thats the point. Her bad parenting is a product of her bad childhood. Yeah she was sheltered but she had little to no freedom. So she made sure her kids had all the freedom they wanted. Is she wrong for that? Yes
