My opinion is actual fact and should be treated as such.
But honestly this is just a way to rant about things I recently saw and we´ll see if anyone even cares ;)

Katara vs the general wasn’t that bad, she definitely would have put up a better fight if she had more access to water but as we saw in the show it was quickly taken away from her leaving her vulnerable, and with the whole burying thing I don’t think it’s as OP as people think it is, I can imagine it doesn’t work too well on fast moving opponents
Hama would been a great teacher if katara used this Ability (Bloodbending) to hold Azula (i know that would not been her Style).
I hope if they made another series with an Avater after Korra, they will explore other Bendings (who are called evil). Avatar the last Airbender is a different Story, this doesn't mean the legend of korra is not better or something both series describe different issues.
There's a reason they were the most dominant nation before the fire nation industrialised
Other earth benders don’t do this because they got to much pride; won’t accept a easy fight for example toph would want to win gloriously instead of u just getting stuck and quitting
besides toph, i don't think that is true for the rest of them at all
Be because he has ontroduced dirt into the water it becomes now muddy water and she can't bend it anymore.....that was before it was established that she can bend it.....well ok maby togheter with an earthbender
If you think about it, all bending is broken. Earth bending is broken as you could immediately start breaking your opponents feet and quickly their entire body. (Not too far away from what we see here) Water bending is broken. As you could make a water ball go down your opponents wind pipe, drowning them (we saw katara bend water into people's mouth. Its the next logical step.) Fire bending could be used the same way then to kill someone by buring their lungs, or alternatively by explosively expanding the air in someone's head(, like failed lighning bending, as Zuko displayed). Air bending can just suffocate people. (See Zaheer) One move kills, using the standard bending styles, without any sub styles.
@@FunnCubes agreed, that’s why I’m making a video for all of them ;)
Blood Bending
You could look at "Tales of Ba Sing Se". Or you could do a character or worldbuilding analysis.
Are you going to discuss the live action version when you're done with the animated version?
@@ThePrincessCH absolutely
It's Pakku, not Paco.
@@ThePrincessCH nooooo!!! Mb
It is sad that Hama and Gran Gran can't see each other anymore. Maybe it for the best cause Hama has gone crazy, and might used blood bending in the tribe from PTSD😢. (This is a theory only)
Gran gran was originally from the northern water tribe tho so it’s possible that Hama was abducted before gran gran actually came to the southern water tribe
@@brendanp1928 very good point, that is definitely a strong possibility
And Keira used metal on the opponent like blood bending
@@yamabass1 you can block metal, dodge it or bend it away yourself.
Blood ending is not to overpowered because mako used electricity
it honestly does not matter how strong it is because it has high skill requirement, environmental requirement, and even a drawback in terms of morality. there are so many reasons blood bending could not be used that it evens out how op it is. this is like saying an ultimate ability in a video game is over powered even though the whole point is that it has high reward and therefore it needs high cost.
@@cannonsword1 that would be true of not Katara learned it in 0.1 seconds
btw even more reason to not use blood bending: you are busy controlling someone so someone else could ambush you, making you vulnerable. it is not completely irresistible as shown in the episode (katara being strong enough to resist it is perfectly believable since this is happening near the end game of the show and the show has demonstrated that katara has gone through growth in strength). it also technically has not shown that if a blood bender controls another bender, the blood bender can use that other person's bending (as far as I can recall), so you are making yourself busy controlling someone without getting their full power. you fight as someone else without their full power and janky movement (this is honestly a bit of a downside too) instead of being yourself with all the powerful water bending abilities
@@cannonsword1 but why can’t aang resist it then he is stronger than Katara? And you can clearly control several people at the same time. And why fight with waterbending when you can just Bloodbending your opponent and instantly win over them?
@@cannonsword1 and if we’re going with the video game references it’s like saying cc counters it but cc counters everything. Waterbending or concentrating in any way makes you vulnerable to ambush
@@PickaBlueV2katara was literally taking classes from hama about blood bending without realizing it….aang just came back from saving the people in the cave and had no idea what was going on and had never even heard of using the water within other things before so wen he was attacked by hama especially on a full moon the whole thing was random to him ofc he’s not gonna figure it out and katara in my opinion only figured it out because she’s a main character she’s not a prodigy at all she’s great but prodigy’s don’t know they can water bend and never figure it out lol she was like 12 wen aang met her that’s way too much time for a prodigy to figure nothing out
From what we saw in the series we’d know Hama and gran gran were friends because when Hama was taken away the first woman that we see that is very sad look a lot like Katara that is because that was gran gran (this is just a theory)
@@lavendertravlerGT oh i didn’t even think of that, good theory
Hama's goal was always to pass on her skill/technique to Katara. She WANTED Katara to learn and demonstrate blood bending. Katara gaining control over her own body showed that she was starting to bloodbend, at least blood bend herself. I think Hama pulled back her attack on Katara once she did this, bc again she WANTED Katara to blood bend. The next step was to blood bend another, which she did on Hama. Hama knew she was old, and not long for the world. She may have even died in prison shortly after (or been put to death). She didn't care, bc he goal of passing on the skill to a younger water bender was complete. Katara wasn't "stronger" she was just younger, and probably had a lot more energy to fight old lady Hama, who also never wanted Katara to loose.
but hama even said that katara "should have leraned the techique first" which means she never tought her bloodbending. thta is the issue
Thank you. I've been saying this for years. I have been fighting against this episode and the fact it breaks the world.
oh but sufficating a room wit earth bending is peachy
@@robertarcher4891 should maybe do one on earth bending next ;)
What about earth bending?
@@king_the_titan8 explain?
@@PickaBlueV2 so, I have never personally watched anything of this universe but to my knowledge you can bend earth to your will, so if you ever get into a battle you can drop them into a pit and cover it up again, or you can dig them into the ground and crush their bones etc, and all this before the enemy can react
@@king_the_titan8 well technically that’s true, there is a lot of gamebreaking things like that in the universe😅 like why can’t you freeze a person blood if you can bend it??
@@PickaBlueV2 fair enough
That’s not a blood bending L that’s another Korra L all the more reason for it not to be canon
I thought Korra said it was some exceptions like amon his brother and father are the few who can do both mentally and without a full moon
@@DanteTheTakenAwoken hahahaha Korra be taking L like crazy
Hanma is one of my favourite characters, But I think that the show introduced her in a bad way, Imagine that when team Avatar arrived to the village they saw a large crowd and when they get closer, they see Hanma and her puppet show, everyone in the crowd tell Team Avatar that her puppet show is the best (the village is well known beacuse of his great puppet master), Team avatar and especially Katara is very impressed from Hanma skills, Hanma find out that Katara is from the south water nation (she saw her nackless) and invites Team Avatar to her home and tell them about her story, but this time when she was young Katara's mother (they were best friends) taught her how to control puppets, and when she was in prison, she develop this technique and learn how to control humans. That will make Hanma fake persona to a realy important person in the village intead of an ordinary old woman.
Bro what language is this
Love the video. Respectfully, katara IS a prodigy. She's not a sevant who instinctively picks things up like aang did with 3 of the 4 elements, she does have to work. But not very hard. She has so much talent she went from struggling to wrangle a wave to competent fighter just from hanging out with aang to show her bending basics that are universal to all martial arts, and stealing one waterbending scroll. Then she leveled up to master in the month (tops) she was in the north pole. She is a stronger waterbender than aang (throughout the lore, we see evidence of avatar companions being better benders of their native element than their avatar sans avatar state) so it absolutely makes sense that a waterbender of her caliber boosted by the full moon could shrug off that shit when properly motivated.
It's more science than magic. For example metalbending isn't bending the metal, it's bending the impurities inside the metal
Stay consistent dont be like me 🔥
It's not magic
@@crunchyrollping7298 true, but bending is a magic system
Dark bending should be possible Since fire and Lightning are Plasma And If you take away the photo of Plasma it becomes dark
Yes ik its cool, but it doesn't make sense. Darkness is the absense of light, so you're basically bending nothing.
Yeah it sucks
I don't think it's that overpowered. Full moons only happens once a month, which is a pretty big drawback compared to other bending special abilities (lightnning, levitation, metalbending etc...). Chances are, you wouldn't get the opportunity to use it when you actually need to. Plus, once a waterbender is revealed to be a blood bender, their ennemies would make them a priority target while making sure to avoid facing them during a full moon.
Back in season 2, Iroh during his instruction to Zuko brings up learning from sources outside your own nation, heck it's how he developed Lightning Redirection. It's the same lesson that Aang has to apply with being the Avatar. Something that few people catch during Katara and Hama's fight is that Katara is also applying that lesson when instead of doing the usual flowing around attacks she stops Hama's water not unlike how an Earthbender would defend themselves. Who's to say that the the stubborn mentality of an Earthbender couldn't help her to resist and ultimately negate Hama's attempts to control her along with her natural talent?
@@CryoJnik cool idea! Though we need some sort of indicator for that in the story for it to be more than just us fans shooting from the hip. There is lots of reasons why she could’ve resisted one way or another but none is given in the actual show. Showing one scene of Katara and Toph talking about just that would be super interesting and give a concrete reason for her negating bloodbending. Definitely a great theory!
Amon, Katara and Korra all resisted bloodbending withouth the Avatar State. Don't know why but I enjoy that some can resist.
@@asimplewanderer6101 right Amon resisted his brother, I totally forgot that. But when did Korra resist it? I mean totally ignore it not just like mako did with his lightning
Korra was bloodbended but she air kicked Amon @@PickaBlueV2
@@CeyhanA. I’ll have to rewatch that then!
@@PickaBlueV2 Ikr, like isn't the avatar state supposed to be a defense mechanism? It should've been triggered
@@chrisss838 100%
It makes sense that Katara was able to resist Hama. Katara is called out as being a prodigy of a waterbender, on top of being an extremely dedicated student. Not only was the moon out at the time, but Katara was affected by the bloodbuilding until she broke Hama's control. The how of it - Katara just bent her own blood. As for why Aang wasn't able to break Hama's hold - keep in mind that while he is also a bigger prodigy than Katara (and had Katara as a teacher throughout the series), he wasn't as dedicated a waterbending student. Airbending is his specialty, and (as a kid at least) he did not have the deep understanding of waterbending that Katara had, nor did Hama give him the advice on how "water can be found anywhere" or such. He didn't even know bloodbending was a thing until Hama was puppeting himself & Sokka (plus he was locked out of the Avatar state at this point in the series). The only issue with bloodbending is how it can be done so freely. Hama makes note that she needs the full moon (when a waterbender's power is at their strongest) to really use bloodbending. That should be the case for any bender who isn't an Avatar or otherwise a prodigy or experienced master (and even a prodigy-master like Katara should still be exhausted from using the technique without a full moon). As for the villagers: these kids just saved them from a much more dangerous force after hell knows how many of them were imprisoned for hell knows how long (and it is specifically Hama's victims that came out to help the kids & arrest Hama), and they have no idea that Aang is the Avatar. A bunch of tortured, tired, weakened villagers are not going to threaten, insult or challenge a group that just saved them by beating a threat that was too strong for said villagers, even if one or more of those saviors was part of an "enemy nation" (something most civilians likely do not have strong feelings on - the fire nation is not being constantly attacked & destroyed by the Earth Kingdom nor Water Tribes after all). Maybe later on someone said something off screen, but by then the gang was long gone.
@@DBArtsCreators only have one issue with that headcannon, if you could bend your own blood to resist it then how come tarrlok could not resist his brothers grip in Korra? And with the villagers, I do agree with you. It was an over nitpick ;)
@@PickaBlueV2 Tarrlock simply might not have been strong enough (at least at that moment). Not every bender is of equal strength or skill.
Weren't Amon/Yokone the only ones that could use Bloodbending without a full moon? Doesn't sound like "Freely used" more than it does those two being bloodbending savants.
@@DBArtsCreators I’d say yakone is a more skilled and powerful bender at least when it comes to bloodbending than Katara since he has had years of practice, been bloodbended several times and can do it without the full moon. Also coming from probably the most powerful waterbending family of all even tho we like to think Katara is the best m
@@PickaBlueV2 People also don't care as much about Korra's series since it's badly written and inconsistent, so eh.
Short answer. Propaganda.
@@cptbabyface9804 if so props to that department cuz that’s some crazy coverup
Overall I consider this to be a good episode but the ending of Katara instantly learning etc felt rushed.
@@sandro5535 totally agree, she’s usually the hard worker not the talented one
@@PickaBlueV2 think they did it this way so Katara would not be in the wrong and save time. But imo she should be practicing on it. Not just on humans, then in Southern raiders it just clicked for her
@@PickaBlueV2 Did we watch the same show??? 'Not the talented one' when we've got waterbending masters with years of experience over her who are going on about what a natural she is at water bending ??? She can be a hard worker AND talented at the same time, the two aren't mutually exclusive.
@@omagicconch just saying that in the first season, especially the waterbending scroll it’s pretty explicitly stated that waterbending comes less naturally for her then it did aang. But later at the North Pole she surpasses him because she trained harder m. Ofc she has talent, I was simply comparing her with aang.
Idk, to me it felt right because at this point of the show Katara had been perfecting her bending for a long time, and had Aang to practice with most likely everyday.
I thought he was supposed to be a spectator to learn how everything works, and when he spoke put agaisnt it, it was basically saying I a kid am breaking the rules because I think I'm smarter than you And ozai would take that as disrespect because his kid spoke out against someone he handpicked to be in the war room, belittling his own intelligence (Obviously zuko didn't think he was smarter than anyone there, but ozai and the other fire nation generals have such a huge ego they would 100% see ot that way)
@@Zeris_futa definitely, great point!

@@ThePrincessCH what can I say maybe my parents dropped me as a child ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I think the Katara & Sokka scenes are there so that we know no one is coming to rescue Aang, but also to add some light-hearted moments; Avatar was never meant to be just dark and serious because it's made for kids after all.
