Honestly, I think Tenzin and Sokka had a very good relationship. He did mention that when Korra was taken by Zaheer, He along with Tonraq, Zuko and Sokka, saved her. I would naturally say that Tenzin and Sokka worked well together and possibly trained his nephew in tactics and strategizing, along with Bumi.
I don't know if I understood your comment. Sokka was dead way before the events of legend of Korra, wasn't he? How was he present in her rescue from Zaheer?
@@Salrie-Antlerhorn Ok, but he was dead in the episode you talked about, or at least Sokka was not present in Korra rescue from Zaheer. Is that something that only happened in the comics or something like that?
Considering how much of Aang Tenzin was trying to be, Sokka’s advice really hits harder when Tenzin is finally able to let go of his false perception of himself. He may be the son of Avatar Aang, but he is so much more. He is Tenzin! I’d like to think that Sokka’s advice applied here more so than anywhere else because Tenzin is not Aang, he’s so much more.
@@smoek9458 honestly, I just can’t stand Kataang bc Katara just become the Avatar’s trophy wife. Imo, they should’ve put Aang w Toph (she was just as much of a legend as the Avatar and wouldn’t allow herself to live in Aang’s shadow).
Those also feel like very Zuko things to say too lol like he started out saying “Uncle Sokka here…” which is how Zuko came up to the GAang too, and Zuko is skilled with swords despite being a fire bender.
So this brings up the thought in my mind that Bumi and Tenzin are both half Water Tribe. Didn't Sokka teach them how to be men as the leader of the Water Tribe? Did they do the same rite of passage he did with Batu? Do they know how to sail? Well, Bumi was in the Navy, so knows how to sail, but what about Tenzin? Did Sokka let Katara get away with not giving her kids a proper education?
From what Tenzin's siblings implied, Tenzin and Aang went on a lot of father-son bonding trips alone, which indicates to me that Katara understood how important it was for Aang to teach his son about the air nomads to keep the knowledge and culture alive and kinda let them have that exclusive time together. However, it does seem like it may have come at the cost of Tenzin's water tribe heritage, which his other two siblings seem to favor.
Personally, I think Sokka seems have been a pretty big influence on Bumi personality wise. And Bumi would likely have looked up to his uncle, seeing as they are both non-benders.
@@kimberlyterasaki4843 But did she? Did Sokka? I mean, I think we all get how important it would be for Tenzin to learn Air Bender things. But with no more airbenders around, would there be things Sokka would try to insist on?
@@cakemanLHK I tend to think Bumi might actually be Bumi reincarnated, they're so similar, and Bumi was over 100 in Last Airbender, so would likely have died before Aang and Katara had any kids. That said, before Tenzin, Bumi was Aang's kid and not a waterbender. Did he try to force him to be an acolyte, trying to force him to become a bender (especially when they didn't know if he was a bender or not?) Would ha have deprived Bumi of Water Tribe support in hopes of him being one of the savior children Aang would desperately need to keep the cycle turning? Because we know Bumi feels like a huge disappointment to Aang. And that makes total sense no matter how kind or how harsh Aang would have been on the topic. Bumi not being an airbender would mean the death of the entire cycle, followed by Kya, also not an airbender. And since Bumi wasn't a bender of any type, he may have gone though all kinds of rituatals trying to unlock bending for him until Tenzin was born and showed powers. Becaus no airbender kids means death of the avatar cycle. So even if Aang never said he was disappointed, Bumi would know he wasn't what Aang needed. But how much was he forced away from the water tribe? I mean, the navy he was in was fire nation, not water tribe. Why? Did he not get the water tribe rituals to be part of their culture?
Hearing Sokka's advice made me think of Tenzin's fight against the red lotus. Tenzin clearly took the advice to heart and building himself up physically probably helped him last as long as he did in the fight and live through it.
It would be so awesome if we could see an older Sokka in a l future show or movie we’re he’s become a badass master swordsman and we get to see him completely wipe the floor with a group of enemies all by himself showing off his fancy skills.
getting rid of sokka was the biggest mistake of legend of korra (seconded by the love stories), they missed so many opportunity, he could also have answered many things, not to forget act as a counter foil for amon. If I was writting it and had to have one member to team avatar (aside from aang) be dead, it would be katara and I would address it with a flashback where on her deathbed sokka brings the fortune teller and own she was wrong causing katara's last breath to be a laugh.
@@spectralight8412 they could have done something good and fitting with their ideas, but it was rushed. let's face it there are plenty of mistakes, enougth for a 30 minutes video, but getting rid of sokka and all the cool stuff that would come from including him was the biggest, love stories were nb2 and 3 is the ending (then again atla also had a shitty ending)
@@DarthX4 atla ended that way to set up sequel and spin off shows. given that that's why it ended, it was still a pretty good one. The problem is that the people behind lok were incompetent and didnt make a decent show when they were set up for a really good one.
@@Nicholas_Kremski the atla ending held in 3 points 1 they won 2 the romance 3 Zuko's mom the romance was one of the biggest flaws of the show which would have been far better with non and to use that time for anything else. For Zuko's mom, this should have been replaced by something else and only put back after a confirmed season, but instead we have an infuriating cliffhanger with no resolution unless you managed to get the comic (not available everywhere) ps: the same people where behind the 2 shows and dragon prince
That's such good advice. I was just watching a compilation of fight scenes with Ty Lee from ATLA and it got me thinking: Ty Lee can take all these benders out because they don't focus on close quarters combat. Throughout the series we see that bending encourages mid-ranged combat; many of Ty Lee's victories show her dodging the bending attack, rapidly closing the gap, then chi blocking the bender who is still recoiling in surprise. One person who notably gives her trouble is Suki during the gondola fight leaving the boiling prison: she's able to hold Ty Lee off the entire fight. No doubt Suki's proficiency in countering Ty Lee benefited from the Kyoshi Warriors' defeat at Team Azula's hands previously, but if the benders who tried to take down Ty Lee before stopped trying to bend against her when she got in close and focused on hand-to-hand combat, I think there's a much higher chance she would have been taken down. Just like Sokka says, bending isn't the answer to everything.
You can tell that Kya was raised by Katara, Tenzin by Aang and since Bumi wasn’t a bender and his parents were busy with the bender children, he was raised by his non bending, chaotic, lovable, dopey uncle Sokka
The avatar maybe be master of all four elements but sokka was the master of all nations fighting styles. Every time he met a strong foe if he got the chance, he would learn how they fought, there strategies and how they lead . Truly a worthy person to entrust a nation or tribe . His father had faith in what type of leader his son would become.
I always wondered if Sokka went to look for Moon Sword later, or some rando just found it and sold it or something. I like to think Sokka saw it in some blacksmith’s “junk pile” for 2 copper pieces or something, and whether or not he was smart enough to buy it back and say nothing of its true value or if he ran his mouth in rage and the shop keep upped the price as a result of this “price appraisal”.
It stands to reason there would be more though. Sokka has big uncle energy. I don't think he'd spend 40 years or so sharing the same earth as his sister and Aang's kids without contacting them. He's probably the member of the Gaang whose future was least explored though, so they're probably deliberately hiding certain surprises for future movies and comics.
Aight so since we know the next avatar is a earthbender wouldn’t it be cool if he got sokkas space sword and used it in creative ways since we never got an conclusion to where that went
It would have been nice to see aang as an adult and fully show them grow up and build republic city, but avatar korra was still good showing us a but of how the original team avatar turned out
Here’s a fact you might not have known The one person kuvera feared kuvera was frightened when toph showed up her face was so priceless when she casually stomped the ground and blew everything up Missed opportunity watching old toph beat the holy hell out of kuvera
When you are the "Normal" in a group filled with superpowers, that Normal becomes the special one... Especially since it means the normal sees things in ways that the supers do not.
Sokka deserves a novel about his life I like to think while Aang created republic city with Zuko out of the Fire nation colonies Sokka & Suki moved back to the south pole or Kyoshi Island for a while then inevitably he'd become a council member representing the north & south pole population since his Grandmother is from the north & father/mother are from the south pole
Clicks on video, excited to see the topic. Hears God rest ye gentleman as the music in the background. Made me double check it was still March 😂 this is now an official Christmas video now.
I fell behind on this show when it was on tv. When I watched it again on Netflix from the beginning, he first was a joke, but I’ve seen him redeem himself when he improved on how to strategize ideas. He’s no bender but he showed a few times that he’s no pushover. It’s sad though he wasn’t around in korra’s generation except for the visions korra was having in the Amon situation.
I refuse to believe Sokka and Suki split up. Toph had other options from a servant boy in her old house hold who had a crush on her, and Satoru from, “the rift.”
Love the God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen music in the background 😌😌 annyyyyway Sokka is probably my favorite character and agree with another commenter that they missed out on so much by not including him in Korra, so I love any extra Sokka content I can get
Awesome video... however... the background song is an instrumental "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen", a Christmas song and I can't NOT hear its cracking me up!
Keep in mind, when it comes to Sokka, the comics made a continuality era. In the season 3, episode 4, "In Harm's Way", right after Lin came to warn Korra about the Red Lotus, Tenzin explained that he, Tonraq (Korra's father) and Chief Sokka stopped the Red Lotus from kidnapping Korra when she was a very young child. (It is kind of hinted that the Red Lotus killed Sokka in that battle, since that is the last Sokka is mentioned in closeness to the present of the Korra series) The comics error shows that Sokka died before Aang. Clearly, that was a error.
It'd be cool if the non benders had like... super human (compared to the real world lol) abilities. Like how if you lose one of your senses, all your other senses get heightened. Something around that logic with having no bending.
I really do want to watch more of korra but there's so much in it that i have problems with. The mistreating of sokka and suki, the sudden resolving of the first season making everyones bending being taken meaningless, the martial arts being watered down to boxing, the setting moving far too much into the future tech and aesthetic wise, and the awful watering down of the spirit world from something super creative and even creepy, to a bunch of angry glowy blobs
