Probably a babysitter, recruit who thought he was hard stuff or a politician who just so happened to get on her bad side..... there's more but I don't think RU-vid can handle that much data.
@@mcflopkin8434 My headcanon is that she hated the authority around her growing up, so she BECAME her own authority. Also, she gets to bang some skulls together and torment her officers. Edit: does that even make sense?
(How Lin Became a Badass Who Doesn't Give a Duck) Baby Lin: Mom, there were kids at school today that were being mean to me!... Toph: Just kick their asses and teach them a lesson! Lin: OK!
Eh Lin is way less interesting than Toph. She ain't terrible, but compaired to the second best character in the Avatar series, it's hard to compete. I didn't like Lin in the first season, and the season 2 of TLOK is just pure garbage (except for the two episodes about the first Avatar)
@@cypressplayz922 did you know that Toph's Dad(Lao Beifong) is the descendant of Lu Beifong: The earthbending teacher of Avatar Kyoshi and Kuruk! So the beifongs probably have really good genes in Earthbending talent/power and passed it to Toph👌
"*11* years later and this is still one of the coolest animated montages I've seen on RU-vid!👊😎" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lhbVVv1CEUM.html This one is also favorite
@@katelyndaley8827 that's the thing. Her disability affects her so little that people literally forget she's blind. And are shocked when she is unable to do something.
This video perfectly illustrates the difference in Toph's ans Lin's bending. Lin uses more of her body but is more graceful, almost like she is dancing. Where as Toph uses less of her body but is rougher, if that makes sense.
Well, it makes sense; we see that Zaofu (which is governed by her sister Suyin) trains in acrobatics as well as Earth- and Metal-bending. Whomever thought to combine Earth-bending and graceful moves was a genius.
Honestly It feels kinda off in TLOK How they can just metalbend like they were using The Force or something. Earthbending is all about horse stances and air punches. And metalbend is supposed to be an extremely difficult technique that only extremely skilled earthbenders would be able to perform, yet every goddamn Cop of Republic city can bend those little wires.
@@joaquimgianini1234 Earthbending is based on Hung Gar, but it's never been explicitly, exclusively Hung Gar. Toph often bended with nothing more than a crack of her neck or a twist of her wrist or a stomp of her foot, generally with a wide variety of different results from the same movements. She also was able to make the ground slide along beneath her by doing nothing more than miming a running motion with her arms. Likewise, King Bumi could practically swim through the Earth - he could make it disappear and/or catch him simply by falling backwards. I could go on and on and on, but ATLA established - with every element - that the martial arts aren't necessary to bend; just that they serve to help the bender make the element an extension of their body. Well, with that mindset, the creators extrapolated so that - while martial arts remained the basis of bending - anything a bender does with his or her body can result in a form of bending. It's funny how many people nitpick LOK when ATLA played far more fast and loose with what physical movements constituted "bending". Metalbending is so "extremely difficult", but a little girl could do it. How? By feeling the "impurities within the metal" - which is redundant as metal is still fundamentally rock, or "Earth", and a bit of silly logic: if all it takes is to feel the bits of Earth, why hadn't any other bender in millennia discovered the ability? Why _couldn't_ every Earth bender feel the Earth within metal? They can bend sand, right? Even if we overlook that metal is still fundamentally Earth, just going by the logic that the show uses it stands to reason that just about every Earthbender ought to be able to feel the Earth within the metal. As for Republic City and Zaofu, they are the students and descendants of Toph. She taught them - it's not like they stumbled onto it for themselves (even though, as I already explained, they should have lol).
Everyone says how Su is the dancer and graceful, but have you ACTUALLY looked at Lin's fighting style? Those movements? Such badassery and so much beauty... Also, she's Toph's daughter through and through. The creativity, the sheer force, the improvisation and the epic scene with the seismic sense....❤️❤️❤️
I think because of how Korra has seen Lin fight, the first time she saw Su's dance routine that she thought it was an attack pattern. It would make sense, all things considered.
people who like to make amv vids should really take this vid as an example of how to properly make one.the timing in this vid is PERFECT!it seems like a lot of AMVs are just randomly put together showing people fighting or whatever in no coordination or rhythm to the song at all.
well if it's a fan project for fun, i couldn't bring myself to fault others their creativity all that much. it's all in service to spreading fan fun :v pls don't slop on others' parade :v we do our best, and i honestly haven't ever AMV'd anything in my life. I bet it's tough; I did actually have some aesop's fable to animate from googled clip art in middle school, and that was rough and rudimentary and really sucked and i got tired & frustrated and biffed the last few frames instead of letting them progress a whole lot better than the choppy sequence I ended up with. so fan amv creators. pls try to lay off em, even in the middle of your enthusiastic consumption of their media :< cuz in the end, y'all both ended up liking the ip, and They put all that effort into another something for you and others to enjoy further... and u let This into the world.
I think Lin is my favorite character in the Korra series. I haven't watched Avatar: The Last Airbender but the fact that Toph is Lin's mom makes me love her already.
@@Tabby1 Why is that such a big deal to people? Both shows are amazing; let's just enjoy them and not be hard on people who have only watched one or the other.
@@hanburgundy4317 Because ATLA is infinitly better than TLOK. Not only that but it came out first and there are stuff you can't quite grasp If you watch Korra first
I think one of the reasons this is one of my favorite MV's is not only because of the perfect song for these two wonderful ladies, but the TIMING is PERFECT.
These clips showcase one of the reasons Toph was always so successful as a bender. It wasn't just that she "listened" to the earth around her, but also that she was always ready to hurl herself head first at imovably solid obstacles with 100% confidence in her skills that that they would break and bend beneath her.
Near the end of the song, he mentions "god" and at the same time, Aang is being shown how to energy bend, then Korra learns, therefore the legacy of the Beifongs continues. Mama definitely said keep knocking em out.
Don't mess with the daughter of the Evil Melon Lord! But seriously, Lin is my hero and while I have several theories about who her father could be, what matters is that she has certainly done a lot to make her mother proud.
@@greatpower6063 That would mean that Lin and Tenzin are cousins. And they were dating. I don't think it's Sokka. Su's father on the other hand could be Sokka.
@Sarah That factory engineer has different name. It's not Kanto. This Kanto was never mentioned anywhere else except that conversation in the Legend of Korra.
in hindsight i don't know who is more terrifying - torph bei phong as she is discovering metal bending OR lin bei phong with all her years of experience - just saying
We didnt saw lin bei fong do ironman with her metal bending ...what Toph did. And Lin is a policeman while Toph was a champion ring fighter. Toph rules.( Toph true form at 1:08)
As impressive as Lin having her metal bending experience is terrifying BUT she still isn't on the same level as her mother - Toph didn't need metal bending for a large portion of what she did and she DID discover the bending and she was able to do what her daughter has learnt to do too :) So overall MAMA WINS!
Plus you have to remember that toph used her abilitys to basically predict what the bender/person was going to do next and she easily is the strongest earthbender Alive
The one thing that i really loved about ATLA was that we truly saw greatness happening in that show. Never would i have thought that one day i would say a little blind earthbendng girl would be one of favorite characters from a cartoon show and when she created metalbending, it was coolest thing ever man
Two of the strongest earth benders in history were a mother and daughter. Both had a hand in the protection and training of the Avatar, could you imagine having such a flex?
-Toph is such a badass the fire lord sent HER AN APOLOGY IN ADVANCE -Toph is such a bad ass the other Avatars asked her for metal bending lessons -Toph is so dope Tony Stark asked her permission before making his suit. Toph aka Mellon Lord is THE BEST
Yep, that summed up the badasses that they are. I even forgot some of the things Toph did so thanks. I especially liked the Damage part and the "easy to load" part as Lin gets dressed. So very well timed and nice work following the lyrics.
I didn't even think about it...but as this started playing, it didn't take long for me to get into it and then I fricken geeked out as "don't call it a comeback."
Toph is/was an absolute BEAST of a bender! I hope we get to see her but considering what those ASS CLOWNS at Nickelodean has just pulled...I don't know :-(
This really is one of THE best AMVs I've ever seen. One of my personal favorite moments? "Old English filled my mind and I came up funky rhyme" paired with Toph learning her own unique style of Earthbending right from the badgermoles (1:35). That's really clever!
the "i gotta thank god 'cause he gave me the strength to rock hard" was perfect!!! with both avatar's being 'god' and their ability to bend energy and aaahhhh so perfect. (ROCK HARD YUS EARTH BENDERS GOOD.)
Sir Slapa Ho True. I like to think they're supposed to be two sides of the same coin: Suyin is more carefree and less restrained with her bending as well as her attitude towards life, while Lin is more controlled and strict, though both display a lot of strength in the different ways they use their skills. It's easy to see Toph in both of them: she didn't care a lot about social norms or rules, in the same way that Su seems to appreciate the unconventional, but she also had high standards for other people, like Lin clearly does.
