Do you guys agree that Suyin Beifong might be the most elegant earthbender in the franchise? Kuvira is pretty close too.
Is cool at least Katara trained 2 different Avatars in water bending
Maybe korra bending the spirit canon are above this one, & amon things.
Whether that be Toph and Aang.
Lin and Tenzin.
Or Opal (who actually got airbending, but has her Earthbending edge to her) and Jinora.
Recently go into the series and am now going through the comics, video games, and art books!
I love this series so much and spotted this queer coded art foreshadowing at the end of the first art book!
Or he's overrated even though his skills & power ain't amp!!!
I'll start first.
For me, it's a lot since TLOK was one of my favorite shows from my teenhood.
This line from Tenzin to Korra in the very first episode in Book 1;
"DON'T BRING MY MOTHER INTO THIS!"
This exchange between Mako and Korra in the "A Leaf in the Wind" episode;
"You're the Avatar, And I'm an idiot."
"Both are true."
The scene in "The Revelation" where Korra and Mako are sleeping on each other's shoulder's in the park.
Whenever Asami flips her luxurious hair.
Varrick being Varrick.
"Zhu Li! Do the thing!"
Tenzin trying and failing to pursuit new Airbenders into joining the Air Nation and having no social awareness.
This bored, annoyed, unenthusiastic, and monotone line from Mako;
"I am the escaped convict, and you will all reap my fire."
Asami electrocuting her father with an electric glove and taking town Amon's Lieutenant with ease in the "The Aftermath" episode.
Toph calling Bolin a "Dipstick".
Korra confronting Tarrlok in his office in the "When Extremes Meet" episode.
Mako killing Ming-Hua with his own lightningbending.
This from Varrick while Korra, Bolin, and Asami are looking at him like "Why are you the way that you are?". And Mako facial expressions going from "I don't give a flying Monkey feather" to the "I'm going to firebend you into the sun" death glare in the "Night of a Thousand Stars" episode;
"Don't tell me you guys are still mad about everything that happened. I did some good things too."
"Korra, who warned you about Unalaq? I did."
"Bolin, who got you into the movers? I did."
"Asami, who saved your company? I did."
"Mako, who got you thrown in jail!?! I did!"
"Oh yeah, guess that was a bad thing."
Korra, Bolin, Asami, and Mako respective comical grossed out reactions upon seeing Varrick getting his feet scrubbed with punice stones by Zhu Li.
And this line from Korra to Tahno in "The Spirit of Competition" episode;
"You wanna go toe-to-toe with me, pretty boy?"
Do you guys agree korra are top 3 metalbenders so far?
I was thinking suyin maybe still batter but korra FEAT from Redirecting liquidfy metal from kuvira and solidify back to her just tells that korra are a batter than her imo.
Remember metalbenders bend earth inside the metal not metal itself!! 😭 That tiny metal so small so earth probably more like dust.
Tarrlok a character that we know from beginning season/book one of The Legend of Korra
Will Tarrlok still maintain his position as a Top 5 best/strongest waterbender after Avatar: Seven Havens is released?
I personally don’t think so, because bloodbending at will is so overpowered that it feels unlikely to be introduced again. But I do think there’s a good chance we’ll see a powerful waterbender, haha. Still, I don’t want to set my expectations too high. What do you all think?
Idk man somebody tell me in the comments
I once took an internship at Project SEARCH (like a decade ago if you wanna feel old as balls) where they help people with autism adjust to the work environment while helping them search for the right job for them.
During my year there, I’ve found that I could get way too worked up for my own good and act very “unprofessionally” over certain things I thought unfair, especially when they’d be dumped on me all of a sudden.
As I think about them, I recall Korra during Books 1 and 2 where fans would criticize her for being an “immature brat” whether or not they thought these moments of her’s were justified. She was a “bad Avatar” for slipping up big time
I always would stan for her character because I related to her and understand how she could get riled up emotionally. What turned people away from her drew me to her more and more.
Like her, I’d react poorly to assertive authority that I’d find unfair. Like her, I’d try to do things my own way contrary to my mentor’s instructions and get reprimanded for it, Like her, I’d lash out and say things that I’d later regret. And like her, I’ve grown from it all…
I guess what I’m saying is that as much as I get the blow-back against “whiny teenagers” in fiction for getting in the way of people’s enjoyment of fiction, I wish that said people could see the value of these characters and how real they can be.
At some point in our lives, we were rash teenagers who wanted to be on equal footing as adults and though we put up with crap to rightfully be angry, we still had a lot to learn. We had a load of room for improvement and more to learn.
Much as I’m not proud of my screw-ups, I see myself in Korra and can’t help but be inspired whenever she pulled through, bettering herself as she went.
My daughter doesn't live at home most of the time now, she works at a women's shelter and is only home maybe one day a week.
She texted me last night at like 10:30 excited about this news.
I have a genuine conversation to LOK and ATLA fans.
I understand the fan base are torn between which avatar is better and tbh I dont care.
My conversation is predicated on korra fighting style. I am very adamant that one of the biggest disservice done to her by the white lotus is korra fighting style while bending.
I will always argue that she is technically sound as a fighter but she is not creative at all as a bender. She was forced to fight opponents that just like her attacked her head on.
This is one of the reasons why I believe she struggles so mightily with opponents. Not only are her opponents smarter than normal and simply prepare to never fight her head on, but her bending style is predictable. When i watch her bend, she seems to simply slug the elements out at her opponent and always fight them head on. Her opponents never try to confront her head on and infact they put her in disadvabtege situations/fight dirty.
One of the reasons why aang was so effective is not only because people never fought an Airbender in years but aang was very creative with his bending and usually doesnt attack head on.
What are your thoughts?
This is the first time I’ve fully read this comic besides Ashes of the Academy, and I think it was really good. I also just finished reading this part from Patterns in Time, and I was quite surprised by how much Jinora’s abilities had improved.
Although I’m not that interested in this comic overall, maybe because the stories are too short, so I couldn’t really get into the my mood properly. But I still liked the story about Korra and Naga, and I also really enjoyed the part about Tenzin when he was younger.
Is jinora just level up her skills?
I think it’s common knowledge that the reason for their break up was that they drifted apart due to having differing life goals; Tenzin wanted children and Lin did not. However with that being the case, I found it puzzling that Lin was so upset when Tenzin broke up with her. Lin would’ve known their relationship had an expiration date and I figure she would’ve known that the break up was bound to happen eventually since their goals didn’t align.
The reason I come up with is that maybe Lin was angry with the fact that Tenzin left her with the intention of getting with someone else. So maybe she’s not angry about the break up itself but that fact that Tenzin moved on so quickly. I’ve never experienced a situation in my dating life where my partner left me for someone, but I figured that when that happens to a person, they tend to feel hurt because maybe they feel like the relationship mattered more to them than it did to their now ex. In the real world, it seems like people feel hurt when their partner who they’ve dated for so long is so quick to move on and start dating another person.
I figure that maybe if Tenzin broke up with Lin, then met and got with Pema later, Lin wouldn’t have been so resentful. What do you think?
Omg pema looks like twenties or thirties face 😭
I think a lot people think that the show was trying to tell us Lin was wrong for not forgiving Su, but it actually was that she was only causing herself pain by continuing to hold onto her grudge, denying herself a relationship with someone she cared about and people that cared about her.
I also think this episode needs to be watched in contrast with The Earth Queen, where Bolin and Mako meet their Dad's family, but find out that they had to grow up on the streets, orphaned, not knowing about a whole family that they could've live with instead if their Dad and Grandfather had just gotten past that their Dad didn't want to work in the family business.
And also, for the people that believe Su never apologized, she tried to reach out for years, Lin refused any sort of contact to reconcile. Su literally apologized to Lin for how she acted as a kid at the end of the episode.
Suyin be like, "Take this, anarchist," while in Spider-Man mode. 🤣
zaheer's facial expression lol
slowmo to 0.5 😭
I know Tenzin and Raiko approached Su requesting that she lead the charge to reunify the Earth Kingdom and lead the forces charged with that mission for the interim to stabilize the nation and then put Prince Wu on the throne.
When Su declined their request what should have been their course of action, since clearly Kuvira was not the right choice?
It was a very difficult situation and hard to resolve for sure.
Maybe Su should have led a delegation of leaders from each of the states to ba sing se along with support from the united forces, fire nation and water tribe militaries and the new airbenders for defense support. Maybe as the beginnings of democracy and confederation.
