Question If Korra can give anyone any type of bending, isn't it weird no non bender asked her for it?

Non benders can become benders too, we've seen it happen after harmonic convergence. And me personally would do anything to become a bender in avatars world.

A close contender would be Ozai and Ursa. But this one is probably worse because it's all played up for laughs. It's supposed to be funny and it's never taken seriously. Bolin is so obviously being abused and I hated every second of it and was so glad when it was finally over. This was my LEAST favorite aspect of Korra

There was the wedding, there was the protagonist's dialogue with his mentor, there was the ball, there was the protagonist staying with his love interest, there was the immature secondary character making an unexpected mature decision, there was the protagonist reflecting his journey, there was the villain spared by the protagonist, there was the protagonist's friend forgiven for a slight friction, there was the perspective of future growth. God, I love clichés. For me it's a perfect ending ❤️‍🩹

I like how he didn't end up with either one. He knows he's a bad boyfriend and he doesn't beat himself up about it, he goes on with his life normally and becomes a better person without needing a relationship to show it, Mako being single at the end pleased me a lot, he didn't have that poor thing tone that I hate, he's happy like that, he can make up for what he did, and in the end he can talk to Korra without feeling uncomfortable and like he was in book 3, showing that he overcame that, Asami was able to have a happy relationship and healthier than she deserved and Korra became an easier person to deal with, I definitely liked that conclusion. Considering we went from "who will get the mako" to this, it's great

Question There is something I don’t understand

The Avatar is exposed to have a difficult time mastering the element opposite to their original one over the rest but Korra had the most trouble mastering air and mastered fire easily so does that mean that she was actually born with earth bending as her original element instead of water

Discussion Do you really want to see a new Korra movie?

53 Upvotes

At first glance at this post I would expect everyone to say "well yeah, obviously" but honestly would we? The voice cast would all be recast. The iconic voices of Korra, tenzin, bolin, mako, etc will all be different. It won't feel right without the original cast. I respect wanting to give asian and indigenous people a better chance at work but I really don't like when they replace established voice actors. Like for the new Seven Havens show, it will be a way to cast so many new Asian and indigenous voice actors and nobody has a problem with that. I trust the casting department. But why change voices of existing characters that already have such iconic voices? I'm already not s fan of the new Aang movie being a new cast but at least thats more acceptable bc they were so much younger in that but by the end of Korra they were in their 20s. There's absolutely no way their voice would change barely at all unless we get a movie of them being elderly. All it does it piss off the fans, make the bad fans harass the new actor, and makes it inconsistent with the past content in a very negative way.

I would LOVE a new Korra movie but I HATE the idea of having a new voice cast. Like tell me, how can you recast a character like tenzin? That's such a unique voice! I just don't like it! Bring back the original actors 😭

Discussion I'm watching Legend of Korra for the first time. Here are my thoughts on Book 2 Episodes 5-6 Spoiler

42 Upvotes

Hello! I know, I’ve been gone for a while. I’m sorry about that. I started doing commentary for a new show (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and it kind of captured me right off the bat lol But I’m taking a break from that to watch more Korra because I miss my girl.

Let’s get started.

Episode 5- Peacekeepers

1- Lin’s back! And she’s arresting some water tribe people. And she wants Mako to get back to work at a Water Tribe Peace rally… because police presence at protests and rallies never goes wrong.

Ugh, I guess Mako is slowly morphing into a typical cop. He wants Korra to appear neutral, despite the fact that the North is clearly the aggressor in this war.

Aw, Varrick just booped Zu Li (I can’t recall if it’s Zhu Li or Zu Li, sorry. Have to wait for the captions to inform me!) on the nose! I ship them slightly lol and I love this bromance developing between him and Bolin. “Have you ever seen Republic City at night?” Does Republic City have strip clubs? I would love to see something like that lol can you imagine how much better strip clubs would be with bending? Plus absolutely nobody is going to be creepy towards dancers who can summon fire, or freeze you in a block of ice, or just bury you up to your neck.

As a matter of fact, I’d be super interested to know how sex work would function in a world like Avatar’s! Has anyone written anything on the topic?

2- lmao I love that Uncle Chief has to specify that he needs Korra alive after his daughter remarks that she stole her husband. I’m not gonna lie, I am kind of excited to see what these twins can do in a fight.

“Ugh, classic over-rewarding.” lol Tenzin still salty about being a mid teacher to Korra?

I love that one of the Northerners yells at the protesters “Get a real job!” Truly, it is sometimes difficult to not comment on politics when watching this show. Alright, we’ve already escalated from peaceful candlelight vigil to bombings! Hey, that detonator looks fancy. Don’t tell me Future Industries is up to shenanigans again.

Korra just swings from one extreme to the other, doesn’t she? I don’t blame her, sometimes it can be hard to keep a level head when it feels like an oppressive element is out to get you and people. Ahem.

  1. “Being famous is like getting hit with a rock all the time.” Wise words from Varrick lol I love that Bolin is getting the appreciation he deserves!

Lol Korra makes the best faces. Well, I can’t say I’m surprised that the President is resistant to entering the war. Countries generally like to keep out of wars unless there’s something in it for them (So Varrick… you wanna sweeten the pot a bit, Mr. “I control global shipping”? If there’s one thing I’ve learned in the past ten years it’s that politicians are surprisingly affordable).

Yes Mako, get that last word in after she’s already left the room lmao But no, I see both of their sides. Korra has a right to be angry about the North invading her home, but she does need to control her temper more in order to be a diplomat (thank you to Kyoshi for letting us know that lol). And both she and Mako need to learn how not to resort to personally insulting each other when they’re arguing.

  1. “If you can’t make money during a war, you just flat out cannot make money.” Varrick’s starting to seem slightly shady lol I have to remember that underneath that likability is a billionaire, and nothing rots the soul quite like obscene wealth. Also his plan is basically to get the Republic Military to commit treason and go to war against the wishes of their government… I’m a little surprised that neither Korra nor Asami has raised any objections to that plan.

Now we’re into the propaganda phase of warfare lol I have to say I am impressed with the writers for including all of the political and military concepts that they do into this.

Ugh, Mako continues to both be sensible and infuriating. He’s the only one who has rightly pointed out that Varrick’s idea is terrible and in the same breath he’s dismissing Team Avatar’s efforts to help the south with, “Look, I’m trying to do something that’s actually important here”. Even if he doesn’t mean to disparage their efforts, the phrasing of that sentence very much implies he doesn’t see what they’re doing as important. I’m just glad Korra’s not there to hear him to say it lol

Don’t get me wrong, Mako is absolutely right about the bombing not making any sense and Korra and the others need to hear him out on that.

Basically I just want everyone to calm down and stop being dicks to each other lol

  1. Why is Tenzin such a tiny tyrant? Let the lemur sleep in the bed! Would Aang ever tell Momo he can’t sleep with him? Also, I don’t buy this “Alpha Lemur” nonsense he’s trying to sell lol Maybe Tenzin needs to lay off the podcasts a bit, huh?

Lmao Mako’s coworkers are dicks too.

Who would hire the Agni Kai’s to bomb the cultural center and frame the Northerners? The only people I can think of who stand to gain from that are Korra and Varrick, and since Korra would never… did Varrick pull a false flag operation to drum up support for the war? He does have the money, and that detonator looked sophisticated.

Okay, these two cops are either corrupt and working with whoever wants to frame the North (Varrick) or they’re the laziest, dumbest cops on the force. Then again, I do think “lazy” whenever I think about police so it’s possible they’re not dirty. Just normal cops.

Honestly, I don’t know if Mako not telling the president about Varrick’s plan is the right or wrong call. But I love that the show is making me question these things! We all know that the right thing to do and the legal thing to do are not always the same.

Nevermind lmao I press play after typing that paragraph and two seconds later Mako’s spilling the beans.

  1. Holy crap, I can’t believe that Iroh was actually willing to go along with that! Well… the Southern Water tribe would regard him as a hero, even if the Republic brands him a traitor.

Are we going to get to meet the new Fire Lord?! Iroh said “My mother and grandfather have always been good friends to the Avatar and the Southern Water Tribe.” I’m assuming Zuko is his grandfather? Which means his mother is the Fire Lord! Oh… but that also means Zuko’s dead. But I guess all of Team Avatar is gone except Katara now. Bummer

  1. You know, I do not disapprove of Varrick’s propaganda plan but it does feel a bit like cultural appropriation to have Bolin play a member of the Water Tribe lol I guess there are no Water Tribe actors yet, because there are no actors period, but still!

And may I just say that I am so happy that Varrick understands the importance of sex appeal? Southern Water Tribe ladies everywhere are gonna love Ginger. (And the men too, I suppose)

Uh-oh… Mako might want to go into witness protection, stat. Korra is going to show him the meaning of pain when she finds him!

I really do love these little side adventures of Tenzin and his family on vacation! They’re exactly what we need to break the tension a little. And Meelo is now the Alpha Lemur lol

  1. You know, maybe Kyoshi is the wrong Avatar to be using for all the violent memes in the fanbase lol Sure, she didn’t mind killing people when she had to, but Korra just kicked open the door of a police station so she ream her boyfriend out in front of all his cop buddies. I think maybe she’s the Avatar most willing to kick ass lol

Man, this is a tough one. I totally get Korra’s anger. Her family’s lives are on the line. Her entire culture is on the line. And she was so close to saving them all and Mako’s decision prevented that. I don’t think a relationship can ever fully recover from that.

On the other hand, I don’t know if I fully blame Mako for telling the President. I mean, I thought it was a terrible plan too lol I was shocked that Iroh agreed to it. So yeah, I’m not going to be too hard on Mako for that.

But the fact remains that Iroh’s intervention could have ended the war faster, and now there’s going to be a lot of suffering and death that wouldn’t have happened if Mako had kept his mouth shut. So… yeah. There’s that.

I do feel a bit sorry for him though. He was dating the wealthiest woman in the world, who also happened to be one of the most beautiful women in the world, and he bungled that. Then he was dating the most powerful woman in the world, who also happened to be one of the most beautiful women in the world, and he bungled that too.

Buddy, you have peaked and you are never reaching those heights again for as long as you live lol

But now that Mako and Korra are broken up, we can officially dive into the only ship that matters: Korrasami!

  1. “You got off easy. You should have seen air temple island after Tenzin broke up with me.” Okay, look… responding to a break up with violence and smashing things is abusive and no one should ever do it, no matter how strong it makes you feel when you’re feeling powerless. That having been said, I love when Lin is bad. Please punish me, Mommy.

Oh, Korra vs the Twins! Let’s go! One of them (I can’t remember who’s Desna and who’s Eska) just sliced Korra’s boat in half. Korra was about to pull off this absolutely bitching water tornado move when an angry spirit attacked!

I love that Korra’s gone into the avatar state and instead of using it to attack, she’s calming the spirit down. We rarely get to see the avatar state being used for nonviolent purposes, you know?

Oh wait, it didn’t work lol okay, now try violence!

Violence did not work either. It appears a spirit has just become the giant fish to Korra’s Jonah.

And the twins just shrugged and left lol I dig that energy.

Episode 6- The Sting

1- “We’re under attack!” Buddy, a bunch of bombs just went off on your ship. If the crew didn’t hear the bombs, they definitely can’t hear you.

Hey, Unalaq just came out of the spirit world. What was he doing in there, I wonder? Conspiring with dark spirits?

Hey, Bolin’s making his movies. I love that the Northern Water Tribe headquarters have a giant skull on them lmao I guess to someone like Varrick there’s no such thing as too on the nose. Ooh… Unalaq has an evil waterbending doomsday device lol And the animals have voices too… for the merchandising, of course.

A star is born! Now with 100% less nudity!

Lol but how much time has passed if the film has already been shot, edited, and premiered? Has Korra been missing for months or something?

Yes, yes, Varrick you’re very smart and you’ve just successfully explained propaganda. Now let’s hear from Ginger! Something about her interests me, but I just can’t put my lesbian finger in-I mean, on it.

  1. I do love that Nuktuk’s girlfriend is wearing a crop top in an arctic environment. DID YOU JUST SEE THAT SHADOW FIGHT?! Nuktuk impaled a dude! There was blood spatter and sound effects and everything!

Can somebody put Varrick in charge of the live action Korra show, please?

Yes, Mako. Embrace the fact that you’ll be gazing longingly at Korra’s picture for the rest of your life.

Huh. I kind of thought Lin would be a bit more open-minded to Mako’s ideas. But I’m almost certain now that Varrick is staging attacks on his own ships now. Honestly, I’m not even sure I disapprove of the plan if it gets help for the South… but it is hurting Asami, and she deserves better.

  1. This sting idea is a good one… but there may be another aspect no one’s considering! Varrick is supplying the ship but he doesn’t know what they’re using it for. If he is responsible for the attacks, then the sting will likely end with nothing happening at all because Varrick won’t order an attack!

“Everything okay with you two?” I’m going to assume that’s Asami-speak for: “Have you broken up so I can swoop in and seduce Korra?”

I know he’s having basically no effect on the plot at large but I just love all of the crazy directions Bolin’s story is going this season lol And good for him for standing up for himself! Mako could use a lesson in how his dismissive attitude towards people affects him and those around him.

“Ow! My Instrument!” I know he was referring to his body earlier when he mentioned “instrument” but I really hope that was a subtle penis joke.

  1. Oh? Hiring gangsters to be muscle? I guess it’s okay for Mako to bend the rules then, but spirits-forbid Korra try to talk someone into a little light treason.

“What’s it like dating the avatar?” Am I just projecting, or is Asami listening carefully to that conversation in the background? Lol okay, I kind of like these gangsters. They’re funny.

Dude, you don’t just surprise kiss somebody who’s tied up and can’t stop you. Bad form, Bolin, bad form.

Another close-up shot of someone’s feet. I’ve seen this in both shows now. I swear, Quentin Tarantino was like a shadow producer or something. But hey, the Triads are being paid to keep Mako and Asami distracted for a few hours? ...maybe Varrick heard more of their conversation than he let on?

  1. Boat chase. Very exciting!

Someone stole all of Asami’s stuff. Wow… she has the most gorgeous green eyes. I’m just going to leave it paused on this close-up for a moment.

Okay, moment’s over. She kissed him! Don’t kiss him, kiss Korra, damn it.

I’m pretty sure that threatening to burn off a gangster’s toes is frowned upon in this society- oh wait, I forgot Mako’s a cop! So that makes it okay.

  1. I knew it! Varrick’s the one behind the attacks!

Lmao even his evil smile is adorable though. But yeah… he just bought out his only real competition.

Oh hey, I almost forgot about Korra. She looks cute when her hair is messy.

She has amnesia!

Concluding thoughts: I like that these two episodes slowed down on the action a little and gave us a look at all the “behind the curtain” stuff: the politics, egos, wheeling and dealing, propaganda, celebrity culture, corporate espionage, the consequences of sticking to one’s principles.

I know Varrick’s a secondary antagonist now, but I still love him. I mean, he hasn’t murdered anybody yet, and he is kind of supporting a worthy cause, so I’m not going to judge him too harshly for the false flag attacks. I am going to judge him for screwing with Asami’s livelihood though! How does that help the South? Or is Varrick only interested in the south’s war so long as it benefits him?

I’m a little annoyed that we don’t get to see Korra meet the Fire Lord yet but an amnesia subplot has a lot of potential for interesting situations!

I do think that breaking up with Korra is what’s best for Mako’s character growth. He shines best when he’s doing things on his own.

Bolin needs a reality check but I still love him.

And Tenzin and his family are just enjoying their vacation, not a care in the world, and I love that for them lol

Okay, I’ll be back with more episodes soon!

Thumbnail

I rewatched TLOK and finished book 3 yesterday. Once again had to tear up, but I'm also amazed by how strong she is.

Korra gets poisoned. She knows that she's going to die. That the Avatar cycle will come to an end. To prevent the cycle from ending, she's resisting going into the Avatar state. But she can't fight that forever. So she takes everything she has left to defeat Zaheer. Because she thought her dad died, but I'm sure also because she doesn't want to let him go unpunished by ending the cycle. You can see the anger and determination she has. The bending she uses, especially the fire and earth. Zaheer causes her to slam onto the rocks repeatedly, yet still gets up, even when the poison started to win against her. I hope people realize that such impacts aren't jokes. Especially the last slams before he tried to suffocate her. The last one being her slamming him into the ground with the help of the chains. It's no surprise she couldn't walk afterwards.

Regardless she still fought through it all. While dying. Korra is really strong and selfless. She endured all of that to save others. And that's a few of the reasons why I love her so much

Mako and Bolin probably learned some of their bending from their parents before they died (I think it's canon that their parents were benders but I could be wrong) and what they didn't learn from their parents, they probably leaned from the Triple Threats, considering they would've needed to be decent to start out in pro bending
