I think an animated movie adaptation of the Korra game could be really nice

I think an animated movie adaptation of the Korra game could be really nice

Idk just a random thought that came to my mind xD, it's a shame we never got a book series for this story and I'm pretty sure it's canon too? Correct me if I'm wrong.

How would you guys wanna see this work as a series/movie (ik we prob won't get something like this for Korra but i hope we do lol... Edit: doesn't mean I'm not down for a series about this as well xD. 2nd edit: definitely if it ever gets adapted as a movie or some shebang it needs a rewrite too but some ideas stay the same.

Unpopular opinion: Mako & Azula Fighting for 1st BEST LIGHTNING USERS....⬇️

Some people always bring up Mako's background just to downplay everything he does instead of actually analyzing his feats.

Azula's greatest lightning feat is probably her charged lightning sphere, which she may have even invented.

Meanwhile, Mako's top-tier lightning feat is continuously generating lightning to power Kuvira's Colossus, demonstrating incredible stamina, control, and sustained output. Those are two very different types of lightning feats, and both deserve recognition instead of being dismissed because of personal bias.

So season 1and Air benders Extinction?

Finished season 1 and I'm into season 2 And...

So basically in season 1 Amon tells, by taking the bending out of the Tenzin and family in the last ACT, he can make the Air benders, Extinct from the world.

But in Season 2, we get to See Tenzin and Family Travelling to Air temples, and are greeted by fellow Air benders who have their bending ability intact. Is this kinda a hole in the story? I mean there is no way Amon might have not known about Air benders in the Air temples.

And also if Aang is the last Airbender, then his bloodline is extended through Bumi, Kya and Tenzin, where do these Airbenders come from?

Y’know the problem with judging cop characters is that they’re only as corrupt and incompetent as the writer lets them be.

I don’t doubt criticism comes from a good place but a little Dolyist reading doesn’t hurt to center oneself.

All I am saying is that Toph could’ve likely been this mythologized “good cop” that’s actually good to the public. Given how Lin took off her badge to help find Korra, she was clearly taught that the law can only go so far

Mako smiling is so wholesome and precious!

Seriously though.

Mako, the collected, calm, fierce, and level-headed pro-bending athletic turned detective, smiling with joy is such a rarity.

Considering what he's been through before and during the events of TLOK.

It's so cute and so sweet.

Mako deserves both a nap and a vacation.

The Remains of the Avatar (WIP): a fanfic I'm working on that's focused on Korra's recovery journey. (More details in the body text and the link to the fanfic itself.)

First of all I just wanna make it clear.. that's gonna be probably the most depressing shit I will ever write in my entire life so keep that in mind lol.. but doesn't mean there won't be happy moments and a happy ending too ;) so anyway

This fanfic is based on Korra's recovery in s4 and focuses on themes like self hate,self harm, PTSD and trauma and etc and also I'm trying to write a proper Korrasami buildup in it too coz I have always felt it was kinda rushed..

I'm kind of depressed rn also (kinda is not enough but oh well) so I thought about writing something that I can relate to and a character that I relate to which is Korra..

My fanfic is still in WIP tho I finished up to chapter 4 which I still need to find a proper ending to it.

Suggestions and thoughts are more than welcome :)

As for the fanfic here it is.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/87901161/chapters/232973986 Edit: that's my first time writing something :) 2nd edit: I will fuck around with new ideas like Katara for example trying bloodbending as a last healing resort for Korra since Korra pushes her to do something experimental since she can't wait any longer and sees no progress being made in those healing seshs.

So who here actually started with LoK when getting into Avatar?

Particularly when it was debuting on Nick or online.

I actually got into Avatar all together via reruns of Book 1: Air. At twelve episodes, it made a great first impression on me and led me to see Aang's journey. In fact, not having seen ATLA made references to it carry a bit of mystique. The protagonist was trying to live up to a legacy set by the one who came before her and as a young adult then struggling with adulting, I related to trying to live to impossible standards.

Anybody else or am I a freak accident?

The first and last words of Korra, Mako, Asami, Bolin, Tenzin, and Lin in their respective deput episodes to the final episode of TLOK.

"I'm the Avatar, you gotta deal with it!" - Korra as a young child (Season 1 episode 1 "Welcome to Republic City")

"Sounds perfect." - Korra to Asami (Season 4 episode 13 "The Last Stand")

"Psst, Bolin." - Mako (Season 1 episode 2 "A Leaf in the Wind")

"You don't need to say anything. I want you to know, I'll follow you into battle, no matter how crazy things get. I've got your back... and I always will." - Mako to Korra (Season 4 episode 13 "The Last Stand")

"Oh, no! I'm so sorry. I didn't see you." - Asami to Mako (Season 1 episode 4 "The Voice in the Night")

"Really? Okay ... I've always wanted to see what the Spirit World's like." - Asami to Korra (Season 4 episode 13 "The Last Stand")

"There you are! I've been looking everywhere for you! It's all right, Toza. She's with me." - Bolin (Season 1 episode 2 "A Leaf in the Wind"

"You may now....do the thing." - Bolin (Season 4 episode 13 "The Last Stand")

"Yes, Ikki, as I've been telling you for the last fifteen minutes, we are, finally, here." - Tenzin (Season 1 episode 1 "Welcome to Republic City"

"That doesn't seem like a good idea!" - Tenzin (Season 4 episode 13 "The Last Stand")

"Let's see. Multiple counts of destruction of private and city property, not to mention evading arrest...You're in a whole mess of trouble, young lady. - Lin to Korra (Season 1 episode 1 "Welcome to Republic City")

"Nice work." - Lin to Suyin (Season 4 episode 13 "The Last Stand")

I think this shot of asami says so much about her character and it makes me sad...

​

Ironically i think this scene is so reflective of her character in the show. She goes through the traumatic experience of watching her father die, but she's in the middle of a battle so she immediately tries to jump back into the action because theres no time to grieve. Then she isn't even able to mention it until after at the wedding of a man who scammed her. Asami’s trauma is constantly getting over looked but she never lets it get in the way of her desire to help others. She found out her dad was an equalist so she helps to take him down. She gets cheated on yet she decides to be the bigger person and stay friends with the group because team avatar and their mission is more important than relationship drama. She gets manipulated by varrick and she once again has to be the bigger person in order to help save republic city. She could've chosen to let these moments get the best of her, or just quit entirely and focus on her company (which would be completely valid), but she doesn't because she sees beyond herself. She's always focused on the bigger picture.

And what does she get to show for it usually? Loneliness. She loses her family, she gets dumped and she loses her company and in the end its just her that remains. She gets it all back of course and then some, but It just hurts to think that if, worst scenario, that spirit blast would've destroyed the city then she would've died all alone here. Tenzin took cover with his kids, bolin was with mako, lin and su were together but asami had literally JUST watched her father die and then probably thought she was going to die all alone in that moment.

And yes I am fully aware I'm probably overthinking this .5s shot but its my roman empire and I think about it alot....

Could Milo inventing and mastering fart-bending qualify him for his air-bending tattoos?

Aang got his tattoos after inventing the air scooter, right? Therefore Meelo inventing and mastering his own sub skill of air-bending (i.e. fart-bending) has technically qualified him to be able to receive his arrow tattoos.

The show lacks a general direction / course of action

In ATLA, the entire purpose of the show was to see Aang and co beat the fire nation, and they made it very clear. From the first episode till the last, that was their entire purpose. Yes they were side quests and other stories but in the end it all revolved around one thing. This made the show more exciting and meaningful. You felt the suspense as they prepared beating the fire nation.

With Korra, what was that general goal? Every season was different and had other enemies but imo this made the show less meaningful and special. It was like a series of small tales. Imo they should have made Amon the equivalent of the fire Lord and the entire show revolve around beating him and his goal of taking out all benders, that would have been more exciting. I feel like he died way too soon, he was a good antagonist. Zaheer, Unalaq and Kuvira should have been lower tier antagonists or have had a different role than just another adversary. The show just lacks the depth and excitement ATLA has. I also think three longer seasons is better than four shorter seasons.

Do you guys agree?

season 4 is actually the worst and boring

this is my second time watching season 4 and i’m actually finding it infinitely more difficult to enjoy than the second season that everyone hates so much. korra’s spiritual development is kinda repetitive, it’s blocked, she’s repressing trauma, she’s scared but acts like she’s not, okay bro here we go again.
idk her spirituality feels more shallow since her past lives connection was severed and i feel like that’s such a big part of ATLA and we had some really cool spiritual stuff in season 2 and 3 of LOK. they just kinda neglected that part in the writing i feel like. her personality is also just kinda flat to me season 4.
everyone being soooooo dispersed around the entire fourth season is also poorly done imo, it’s like they bit off more than they could chew. i’m just finding it boring or tiring to follow. i also feel like the main characters were getting overshadowed by these annoying ass new characters. ex. why is prince wu getting more time than mako and why is mako now a flat character cuck for this annoying ah prince. where’s his edgy zuko flair that was there in the earlier seasons?????
and finally, the romances are missing and boring as shit. like the most interesting couple left is kai and jinora and they never even show them, season 3 they were so cute. i am also not a hater of the love triangle that everyone hated but for it to conclude with korra and asami, bruh. i loooooove a good wlw storyline but they had literally NO ROMANTIC CHEMISTRY the entire show. like what?????

This scene between Korra and her mom from the "Korra Alone" episode is so touching and tearjerking at the same time!

I was just rewatching clips from one of my favorite episodes from The Legend of Korra, and HOLY CRAP, I almost cried.

And this is coming from someone who is very emotional, but doesn't cry easily, unless I feel emotionally hurt or emotionally moved in any way.

It's touching because I love how Senna is there for her daughter, who's been through a lot.

And it's tearjerking because it breaks my heart seeing Korra this hurt; emotionally, mentally, physically, and psychologically.

I'm glad that she has both of her parents there for her during the darkest and scariest period of her life.

Do anyone else still believe that a movie will be made about Korra, just as they did for Aang after 10 years?

To be honest, I’m hoping… but given the studio’s current situation – the way the creators fell out with Netflix, and then suffered further when the film about Aang was leaked online… I reckon the chances are starting to look like 10 per cent, especially given the fans’ lack of enthusiasm for Korra. I dread to think how people will react to the new Avatar.

Kya vs Zaheer is lowkey my favorite fight scene

I just wish Kya was a bit more creative with how she uses her bending the same way Unalaq is then she probably would have been able to subdue Zaheer. Unalaq has a very specific way of waterbending where he would locally freeze the front wave of his waterwhip to cause more damage or to catch his opponent off guard. He used this multiple times and one of my favorite scenes was when he wrapped the water around Korra and then froze it, encasing her in a water shell and then threw her to the ground.

Had Kya used this trick, she would have been able to immobilise Zaheer immediately, instead of grabbing him, throwing him into the pond, and then attempted to freeze him then, that gave him enough time to escape and ultimately cause her to lose.
