I think the point is that Aang (initially) was an Avatar who tried to run away from his responsibilities, and needed to learn to take an active role in world affairs. Korra is an Avatar that is too eager to get involved, and needs to learn patience and humility. I like that the writers tried to explore different angles of this aspect of being the Avatar.

aang caused many problems and he was rarely blamed... in the show he was but almost nobody in the fandom blamed him. but they have all this weird energy for korra

Lillian
>>78817767

Yeah I think a huge part of it is that Korra has always been sheltered but Aang had already traveled and exchanged culture before finding out he was the Avatar. But also, there is an understanding that Aang was a preteen monk and Korra is older (17 at the start) and never had her arrogance checked. Not even by her parents. She's hotheaded like Zukko but it's a worse case because she's got all this power and isn't thinking of others when she uses it, usually forcefully. She's not a poorly written character, but she doesn't start off likeable as a person and it's really not even her fault. Just adults failed her by locking her away from the world instead of teaching her things as basic as money, classism, and the law. Same thing with Aang. Nobody checked him after the war because he was the Avatar, but he was still a little boy in need of guidance and another parental figure.

This is the first time im watching this show, but I think I have a clue as to why Amon waits with dealing with Korra. If he takes away her bending now, the next avatar still gets to bend when the next generation arrives, so in order to completely erase bending, he'll have to kill her during her avatar state.

Thomas
>>117001904

That's a reason but not the most important one. It's just like he said if he takes her out early other benders will rise against him because he took out the Avatar. Now the avatar has her bending so the chance that the normal benders would try to get him is pretty low because there is a lot of fear of losing their bending. If he took out the avatar, fear would turn to anger, which would be very bad for him. Korra is a spiritual failure so if he waits until she can get into the Avatar state that would take a very long time. I don't know if he would be willing to wait that long.

Thomas
>>78817767

Yes, Korra tries to handle it by herself but always fails at it and always needs help. That's of course not negative. Aang wouldn't have gone anywhere without the help. Only the difference is Aang had a team and Korra waited until someone saves her. The problem is the writers did Korra dirty. When Korra fell she could have saved herself because she is a waterbender just like Aang did in the book 3 finale. I don't know why the writers chose to involve Lin in it. Lin could have gone after Amon and Korra could have saved herself easily she is strong enough. Same with the robe. Korra and Mako couldn't fire bend the robe? What's your point about that Aang left when he solved the problem? He needed to defeat the Firelord so why would he stay after solving the problems? Korra is a fun show it only sucks that the writers did such a bad job. There is so much more potential.

Legion

I've never seen anyone say that the Legend of Korra is sparse on martial arts. That's crazy. It's full of it and it's amazing! It's just the story can be lacking sometimes

Kamau Catching

This a huge turning point for the show. Establishing the friendship of Korra and Lin and Korra becoming more of a beast than ever. It really becomes a different season after this.

Legion
>>38766174

Really? How? There's fights in every episode. Like I can seeing the more UFC inspired choreography as being less than the choreography in ATLA. Or how Korra relies on firebending more than anything else. But no martial arts? They got brainworms

Gevin Tipsword

i needd moreeee but i will be patient. I love the reactions i feel the next episodes are going to be lit. thanks for being awesome as always!

SugahSpice

im holding out til you finish the first season to watch and I can't wait to binge!!!

Anonymous

Man, I love the announcer so much. LOL

Romang

damn.... gotta wait til next week :''''''

Coco
>>38766174

There's only one thing in LoK that really pissed me off story-wise.

Lalisa Truong
>>38766174

From those that I talked to, it's the lack of a distinct form that they seem to have problems with. Everything is just "punching but with different colors". I don't exactly agree with that though.

Justin Neason

Honestly, the martial arts aspect of the fights wasn't an issue for me! Early on though, the fights lacked in another aspect. I recently watched a video essay-type thing on what makes a good fight (Study for comic making), and I can't explain it all as well, but ATLA fights ALWAYS told a story within the fights. There was more than technique, in each fight you could feel the very essence of each character's personality down to the subtle animations of facial expressions. In Korra the fights are LIT but early in the show it felt like the actual fighting would overshadow the story being told instead of adding to it, and thus many of the dope fights that I'm now seeing again with ya'll are dope but not as memorable as the ones ya'll will see later in this show! I kinda forget they're dope until I see them again, ya know? Am I making sense?

kvothe
>>38766174

I dont fully agree but i can see where they are coming from. In Korra there is alot of quick action and crazy acrobatic moves but the bending itself seems a little uncreative at times especially compared to atla. They just seem to do more moves but way less distinct ones and the movement for all 3 elements looks very similar. Atlas fighting style just felt more deliberate and interesting even though the animation quality is probably better in korra. edit: one example of that is korra basically just using fire punches in the fight in this episode even though she is supposed to be a master water and earth bender aswell (to be fair she was on top of a building but still this also happens in other moments)

Lurkingposter
>>38766174

All the elements have a pretty humongous style of muay thai/ kick boxing with a few wrestling takedowns thrown in. It would of been nice if the styles evolved but still kept some distinct feel.

Inmate_I

amon and not awoman lmao

cofaux

why is my dude lupa's nip just out there

Anonymous

Korra fell when she was shooting up with water on the roof because she was too far away from her source of water. Dont forget bending has a range. Water and earth benders can't just look at some rock or ocean miles away and control it. They have to be relatively close to it and she got too far away. Can't wait for the next korra drop. Shit gets LIT

Coco

You know Sheera hears some of Roshi's corny jokes and just thinks to her self, "I married this man...".

Ambros

Nah I've actually heard that complaint before, it's just bullshit from people who wanna hate on this show so much they gonna make shit up

adem yaylali

literally no one has ever said that the legend of korra was sparse on martial arts. Its just the story that many people didn't like as much as ATLA. its still a good story but just not as good as ATLA

Rcl

Amon and the equalists are based off of communists. The benders represent wealthy capitalists. The hatred for benders is similar to the hatred of rich people like somehow they oppress people.

Christina

Ppl hate on Korra bc they’re comparing it to ATLA. If you take it for what it is Korra is a SOLID show. Yea there are some parallels but if you watch it for what it’s worth you’ll definitely enjoy it more

Rcl

You know if this was on HBO Tenzin and lin would be smashing in steamy affair.

tacoloco

its lacking in story department and show direction. not action lol

Keno31404 .

Yeah I definitely love the fight scenes and overall tone for the story. I'm glad y'all are really into it!

Kris

I love this show. Like 90% of the fights are epic

Rcl

Damn you guys are going to like the next 3 episodes. Especially 8 and 9 .

Rcl

The people who hate on Korra are crazy. It feels like a great sequel to the first series.

Lurkingposter
>>38773262

I small minority hate Korra. Most think it doesn't live up to its potential. Some of that is because of the studio. Some of that is also because of the writers.

Blue Minotaur1212

“Any nigga with three ponytails is not trustworthy.” Korra with her three ponytails be going off

kaeleb white

Geez that Amon pun was terrible 🤦🏽‍♂️😂

Shaw

The main problem with battles is that the 4 bending powers have no distinct styles anymore. In the original series each typ of bending had it's own unique combat style based on 4 separate martial arts but now it's just kicking and punching with earth, water, air, and fire. It's like everyone is a firebender now. Also they really just got rid of the whole concept of different benders being stronger than others. Like the Avatar can no longer bend way MORE of an element than anyone else. Everyone just has the same level of strength for some reason. In ATLA Aang or Azula's power would have been on par with 7-10 other benders. Their attack could'nt be cancelled out in a head on clash.

Blue Minotaur1212

The show reflects the avatar. Korra focuses more on the physical side so there are more fight scenes while Aang was more of a better balance between spiritual and physical. Considering I’ve never fully watched LOK I hope it dives into Korra’s spiritual side more

MackeyMoose
>>38775356

But this is false though. Tenzin and other old school benders use old stances. The new generation's bending is based on street fighting. Using stances leave you open in certain instances vs straight attacks. That's why everyone is using a boxing type of style. It's not the strongest but most efficient. And without spoilers, there are people that are obviously better benders than others. The only reason Aang could fight 7-10 benders was because no one knew how to fight an air bender and this didnt stop him from getting clapped from time to time. Azula was good in a 1v1 but vs multiple benders she had to flee.

Mustardy Boi
>>38775356

You leave out the convenient fact that the benders she fought were literally the best benders of their time. Azula can clap any amount of average benders.

Austin D
>>38775356

@lurkingposter : it does... but that is on purpose. I don't think people see how smart the writers were with this stuff. Seems like most people play it off as a mistake or something. As things advanced in this world and the reliance on bending slowly goes away, bending get's 'weaker' and the culture, stances, and style fade. Pro bending shows this perfectly because it requires one type of fighting. they are limited with the small space and rules of the game. I never understood how people criticised this part of the show when Tenzin literally comments about this very thing in episode 2. He makes it clear that he thinks this type of bending is 'sacrilegious' or 'disrespectful'. Later on in the series we get examples of how old fashioned bending is a lot more powerful.

Lurkingposter
>>38771823

That's a bad argument. Even as a stand alone show LoK has problems. Because of that, it gets compared to ATLA which is the better show. It's like how people compare movies in a trilogy. The people who say you shouldn't compare the two really annoys me because LoK constantly calls back to the original series. I still enjoy LoK a lot including the ending which triggered a bunch of people.

Lurkingposter
>>38775356

Actually, that was also my personal theory (as society becomes less in balance with nature, their bending gets weaker) but its never explained in the show so its just head cannon. Tenzin considers it disrespectful because it turns an art into a sport. Its the same reason traditional martial artists hate on MMA.

Christina
>>38773262

Agreed. Ppl like to jump on the bandwagon too much. Yea it has flaws but no show is perfect

Medusa
>>38766174

@kvothe isn’t that literally a plot point of the show tho? Tenzin has said that he finds the new way of bending disrespectful. It’s not that they just scraped it, they did it for a reason to show how the world is changing.

Akira

y'all be PUMPIN out the content thank you

Tankakawade
>>38775356

Its a wee bit like the Bruce Lee argument. Bruce Lee believed Kung Fu needed to be changed to be more applicable to actual fighting, and not just practice and forms. He wanted to incorporate moves from other martial arts to be a more well rounded fighter. There was tons of push back from the Kung Fu community, but there was also a lot of support. I kind of see the style change like that.

Joshua Burns

I mean the fights are dope, it’s this love triangle bullshit I don’t like that kinda brings the show down for me

HesOneShot

I’ve heard that take from ATLA fans before too. 🤷🏾‍♂️ Which is nuts! Smh.. Glad you guys are enjoying the show! Legend of Korra haters are big MAD in the comments, because you guys aren’t shitting on the show like they thought lmao.. Matter of fact, why are they even watching the reaction if Korra is a bad show?

Sting Eucliffe
>>38771823

It's not an argument it's the truth. People expected an ATLA 2 but we got a completely different series with new problems and new concepts. The sheer fact that people hyped the show in the beginning to be the return of the Avatar years ago made people's expectations of the show to be similar and reminiscent to the qualities ATLA had. LOK has some of the most powerful messages I've seen from an animated series just like ATLA, and it does it in it's own unique way while still appeasing a teenage/young adult audience. It's not that LOK is bad, it's that it's predecessor made people expect a different show than what LOK became.

Anthony
>>38775356

I swear to god just leave the fucking reactions and go somewhere else if you don’t like it LMAO What I saw were amazing fight scenes IDGAF if the style is different, change is good if they change is done right and it was for me. Also nah, not everyone is a firebender now. Just because it’s more aggressive doesn’t make it the same as firebending.

Mo

I love that Lupa is really into the pro bending matches lol.

Lurkingposter
>>38780347

Someone criticizing a show doesn't mean they don't like it. LoK has issues and its OK to point them out. I have no problem pointing out the issues with Korra but I still love it and I love watching people that love the show as much as I do.

Sunshine Hall

The Lupa nipple was real in this video. Keep up the good work Lupa's shirt. We see you. ;)

Lurkingposter
>>38775356

@Anthony: The devil is in the details. I don't have a problem with evolving the fighting styles but everyone fighting in the same way is a legit criticism. For example, it's weird to see an earthbender kicking when the whole point of earth bending is being rooted to the ground. If earthbending evolved to involve more grappling and takedowns that would of been more consistent lore wise, while still evolving the art.

HesOneShot
>>38780347

Nah.. they’re were quite a few ppl in the comments after ATLA series finale damn there begging the crew not to react to LOK. Smh 🤦🏾‍♂️

Noah Burke

Whoever complained about a lack of martial arts in Korra needs to reevaluate that statement.

Devin B
>>38780347

You can talk shit about certain parts of a show and still like it but there are some people talking shit just to talk it and it makes you wonder why are they watching this for if thats all they do.

Hoodlum JoeBro

Absolutely forgot how beautiful the ost in Korra was. As well as the stunning season 1 animation.

Hoodlum JoeBro
>>38772313

The story is definitely there, it’s just the execution. Had there been a bit more focus, it would’ve been solid. But I still enjoyed the show for what it was.

Misato-San!
>>38775356

I think the average bender is way more powerful than before as well. As the world becomes more modern, information about bending techniques is much more widespread.

Hoodlum JoeBro
>>38766174

The introduction to pro bending is pretty much letting audiences know that bending techniques and fighting styles have now changed. Bolin points it out to Korra too.

Clarista

Legend of Korra gets a lot of criticism but considering all the production issues that the creators had to deal with, I'd say the show turned out all right. The creators actually had a rough time even getting Nickelodeon to approve the show in the first place due to the main character being a girl; Nick executives' reasoning being that boys wouldn't want to watch a show with a girl as the main character. They eventually got it approved, but only as a mini-series at first. The writers were under the impression they were only doing 1 season and that was that. But once Nick saw the ratings/popularity, they asked them to do a 2nd season. The creators once again thought they were only brought back for one season but Nick pulls them back in and asks for seasons 3 and 4. As you can imagine, this made planning/writing the show a huge pain in the ass, along with production/securing animation studios. I have no doubt the writters could've done much more with the series and made it flow together much more smoothly if they had been given the time/resources/trust that they needed. It's still a great series nonetheless, hopefully you guys enjoy it overall as well!

Lalisa Truong
>>38772313

I think if 4 seasons had been greenlit from the start and Bryke were given time to actually plan and flesh everything out, things would've been a lot more smooth and cohesive. ATLA is like that because they had already planned 3 seasons worth of story before the show even aired. All that was left was just ironing things out along the way.

Blackfeet808

Lmao when roshi dropped that dad joke, I for sure thought lupa was gonna say GEEEEETOOOOOOUUUT!!! 👉🏿

Cody Braim

Lupa with the shade towards Korea haters at 22:16

LK

"He looks at the mirror when he masturbates" That must be canon I swear

Viela Guay
>>38775356

Mackey that last part is just flat out wrong. For example in the drill attacking ba sing say we saw what one would assume to be the standard combat class earth bender's cababilities in terms of amount of rock movable, and aang even with being weak in earthbending far outclassed that in speed and quanitity just by making the zoo. Similarly the water benders at the north pole excluding the master showcased nothing at all close individually to aang's waterbending levels. Aang's group were definitely all monsters with their raw bending power

thanners

I always regret that I lack the self-restraint to watch just one video when I see you drop three in one day.

Jeff Ketchledge

I love that the shows are so different from each other. The Avatars are night and day from each other so it makes sense that their times and their shows be different.

Stuart Hanmore

Hey Roshi, I was looking at your schedule and I know it said 4x hunter x hunter today, but I was wondering if you were still planning to do 125 and 126 together. The earlier post already said it, but they really should be seen together. If not that's cool, Ive been loving your reactions and I just cant wait to make it to the end with you

Faiz Khan

the shit people were concerned about was the original forms and stances for martial arts are gone so it feels like no distinct style at the same time, l feel like its good cause it's just the natural progression of things its more street fighting and less rules also the bending is not as strong either; imo it's a very realistic step forward its exactly how old martial artists complain about MMA just like with Tenzin

kvothe
>>38766174

@childofdestiny 1. You might be right and it might make sense, i still subjectively enjoy atla`s version more. 2. I do see that this is what they were going for, but it does not really convince me. On the one hand a common argument is, that with relative peace and the ever evolving technology bending becomes less and less important therefore it regresses, becomes more simple and weaker (the old techniques dont get taught anymore ect). But we can see that most benders are actually arguably stronger or better trained than their previous counterparts (lighning bending is common as hell, almost everyone can metalbend chi blocking and martial arts is all over the place in a highly evolved form). The justification for that is the sharing of information in times of peace and people developing new, more efficient techniques. I dont know it feels like it doesnt fit one way or the other.

Anthony

Whenever bolin was chattering his teeth like that, I’m literally dead their faces

Suki

"No martial arts" is the most bullshit thing ever said about Korra. Literally search 'Korra martial arts reference' and see footage of both sifu and other martial artists used to animate the fights.

AK Jay
>>38780347

Season 2 is the biggest reason people hate LoK, I actually like season 1 due to the action and setting. I’m not saying anything but the finale has some stupid shit in it IYKYK

AK Jay
>>38775356

@MackeyMoose how come you didn’t bring up Toph and Katara who took on multiple benders. Or Iroh, the action in LoK is great but less creative compared to ATLA action

Dimitri
>>38894310

It's because in Korra there isn't a single martial art/fighting style that correlates to a single bending style. So now "tHeReS n0 mArTiAl aRt's".

Rcl
>>38894310

The people who complain about the bending forms looking similar are stupid. In this show Fire, earth and water benders live with each other in close proximity. In ATLA they were all more segregated from each other so of course they would adopt different martial arts styles.

Ghost

If y’all hate Korra why pay to see them watch the show y’all know y’all like korra y’all just can’t get over the last air bender I loved avatar with all my heart and I was never bias to one show and korra really is a good show y’all just hating on it for no reason

Dylan

I feel like it's been 3 years since you've uploaded Korra content.

Fadilla Achmad

Lupasan's been reading the comments it seems, please be very careful

Kennedy H

Bruh I'm over here checking patreon like a crackhead looking for their next dose wtf

User100

Today's the day! FINALLY!!

Euan Tempest

Think about it the upload schedule makes sense, only 12 episodes of korra in the first season so if they uploaded every few days it'd be over in like a month and that's no fun so pls be patient

Brady

Roshi was just waiting for the perfect time for that A-mon joke lmao

Rachel Kim
>>38775356

@Viela Guay Totally agree. People have to understand that the ATLA Gaang were honestly very OP. If you look at the regular soldiers/fighters throughout the show, they were very weak compared to the Gaang. Another point worth noting is the small spaces of the city. You can't perform massive bending attacks in a city; you would be messing with so much infrastructure. During Aang's time, they often fought in large spaces of land. They could go ham with their bending.

Oui Oui

lol the confidence of these guys

Rachel Kim
>>38775356

@Lurkingposter Recently rewatched the Blind Bandit episode, Xin Fu did incorporate kicking into his earthbending so... :/

Fabio Rojas Lizárraga

i don't feel like you have to turn around to say what your thinking, you miss stuff that way!

Chris Hawking

8:09 Well this is kinda new for me I'm used to guys making pervy jokes lol 😂🤣 but dame this cool I wish more women say more dirty jokes more often 👍

Skebaba

Why didn't Korra jetpack w/ Firebending, tho??

Q NAsty

is a man........not a woman......

Reign

i mean... you guys have been honeydicked so far. The show falls apart hard from here. So yeah. People are right to criticize and hate this show and I'm sure you'll see by the end its just mediocre

Jalen Winrow
>>41935776

Fall apart? The season only gets better from this episode. Book 2 isn’t even as bad as everyone claims. Not the greatest yes but it’s not horrible. Book 3 is the best season of the show.

Muffin Music

so many hate comments. i wouldn't say it fell apart. i really didn't even get super engaged till they introduced the villains in season 3. coolest villains in the avatar universe for me personally. regardless, people always gonna hate on Korra but i dont think it deserves all the negative comments.

SupremeCai

So much Korra hate jeez LOL S1/3 are bangers, 2/4 are decent-good. ALL of atla was a banger so it's not as great overall but its still a fun show to watch.

frances osugi
>>41935776

you don' have to force yourself to watch it then. lmao if you don't like the show then just move along with your life, like why do you feel so compelled to trash it lmao. you sound obsessed

Ala’a Atari

I love that Korra is originally a waterbender, but her personality is the total opposite - which is why her go-to element has always been fire. She got that Zuko/Azula temper lmao

Afro

There was water below Korra when she was falling and she already knows how to use firebending to propel herself through the air, why couldn't she save herself?

Carmen Slayners
>>48145146

Weak explanation, but in the heat of battle, tunnel vision is a real thing. It's also possible that from that height, she could have had a harder time gauging when she needs to have the water catch her.

Ranginald Vagel
>>48145146

Sudden falling is probably a lot different from a practiced motion stopping herself with water or fire would have been tough as hell those aren’t arts you learn to use while falling in the first place unlike airbending

Lamaree Jackson

With how they connected this to ATLA, I’m surprised people get so butthurt about people saying Korra is to blame for things. This show loves to turn moments from ATLA on their head. Like our loving everyone, just wants to have fun, boy Aang becoming a neglectful father only worried about his duties—and Katara who always checked him on his bs just being a quiet wife and letting him do that shit. The issues in ATLA may have waiting to get started Or already building but Aang disappearing put a lot of those issues into hyper drive. Fire nation took over, enslaved earthbenders, ruined southern water tribe, etc. but a lot of Korra’s problems just get worse the more she tries to shoehorn herself in because that’s what she thinks the avatar is supposed to do. Amon didn’t really start his plan until she arrived in Republic City where she wasn’t supposed to be—not even revealing that he could take away bending until he knew she was in the city. At so many points, people are telling Korra “maybe you should remain neutral, don’t get involved, try to see both sides of it” and she’s like “NO! I’M THE AVATAR! NO ONE IS WISER THAN ME!” The villains weren’t really doing OD or any major planning. They just had Korra figured out from the jump and knew how to play her. Because they knew she wanted be involved. Whereas Aang was just like: alright Kyoshi imma put out these fires and dip—imma free this one ship of slaves and dip—imma just evacuate this village you tried to flood and dip with you frozen to tree—imma lie to y’all so I can end this feud and dip—okay the lava burned half your village, but I cooled it off so imma dip—see what happened was I got shocked by Azula then we dipped—we reawakened the spirit of a river and shut down a factory, then we dipped—I’m gone help Zuko build this city on your land then imma die. They wrote Korra try to handle every single problem in its entirety herself, which didn’t happen quickly (for people in the show or viewers) and caused a lot of resentment. Motivating people to do shit like help Kuvira take over. Aang caused problems, Korra caused problems, just different ways.
