When you finish Korra can you react to the dragon prince (the voice of the main character is also Soka)
Don't want to spoil it but korra got kinaped
Don’t worry just wait till you get to episode 4 everything is going to make sense
@@AliA-fz5qt Korra is always kidnapped
Bumi is the eldest and was the first child to not have any bending like sokka was the eldest and didn’t have bending like his younger sister katara
Alternative take on Korra using the avatar state to win the airball race: It’s nice how Aang finally got to play with his grandkids.
Excuse me..........how dare you?
MY HEART! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!!!😭😭😭
There is no other reason more Avatar than this. How else would you explain Tenzin’s explanation of the Avatar state directly after?
Wasn’t that she was not connected to the past avatars? Don’t know
@@melanyguzman5431 you see what episode this is? Delete your reply maybe dude? 😐
Montana: “Does no one care about breakups in this universe”
Me:🤣🤣🤣😏😭😭
Well, to be fair, it’s been 6 months since they broke up, so it’s not unreasonable for them not be very sad about it.
I love that Korra is technically a
✨Princess✨
Don't let Disney hear you
@@micow9951 😂
FYI, Varrick is based very loosely on a real life person, Howard Hughes. Hughes was super-rich, an inventor and film magnate. He had a bit of a frenetic personality, and later in life became known for eccentric and crazy behavior.
Hughes was also one of the inspirations for Tony Stark, btw.
thats so cool! 😎
Eccentric is kind of an understatement when it comes to Howard Hughes.
@@fallofcamelot The word troubled madman is more Appropriate. See the episode $pringfield/ The aviotor for a small taste of his insanity.
By the way, Tony's father is called Howard Stark, he had the same personality of Varrick, the same accent, and the same vibes.
Fun theory I heard once: Someone suggested that when Korra went into the avatar state, she was letting aang experience playing with his grandkids... Idk but I think it’d be cool
She should be able to shift into Aang like he did with Roku and Kyoshi
@@rubenlopez3364 while Kiyoshi i have no answer for, didn't Aang need the Solstice to do that with Roku?
Zhu Li, do the thing!
They’re gonna love that!
I will say this. I wouldn’t get mad at Korra for choosing unalaq over tenzin. 1. There was a current spiritual problem she needed to focus on, and take care of and unalaq was the only one who proved to have the means to teach her what she needed. 2 tenzin was going to take her to the air temples. Please tell me how that would’ve helped the issue at hand? 3. She was upset bc tenzin and her father had been lying to her/holding her back, rightfully so if u ask me. 4 unalaq was manipulating her from the start and feeding her mind with things to get her to trust him. 5 she was just trying to do what she needed to do to save the world. So I really wouldn’t get mad at Korra for choosing unalaq which was the best option for her. But anyway, I can’t wait for y’all’s reactions 😁
Exactly
People just overlook the facts and then start hating Korra for being stupid
Like why? Unalaq is her blood uncle. He proved what he knows is really important and she just lost her trust of her father. Who should she trust then? Ofcourse her uncle.
We are seeing him as a sketchy person. But for Korra she's just looking at him as her uncle that's it.
Yes, I don't understand why people are angry with Korra. I think many of us, in her position, would do the same
@@toamszkozak8822 I get what ur saying but it’s the way she went about it
@@KaosGamer11234 its because she was frustrated, she was held back for so long.
She could have been like nicer to Tenzin but I get why she was frustrated. Being isolated and alone for your entire childhood leaves a mark. And to learn that the mentor you trusted along with it dad are the two reasons why…
Kenny: I hope Bolin gets a good love interest in Season 2
Eska: hold my beer
And Ginger
Same
Eska had a reason to be upset. With him abandoning and cheating on her and all. And Bolin had MANY reasons to abandon her. With him pretty much being her slave. Not to cheat tho, I felt bad for Ginger until the end.
Book 2 is a trip with its ups and downs. And honestly? Is actually a good season with good adds to the Lore of Avatar,
Hope you guys enjoy
I agree with what you’ve said
I hope you guys like season 2. It is probably the most inconsistent and confusing in terms of plot, but I still enjoy it and hopefully you do too.
i love season 2
The finale 🔥 🔥 🔥
@@victormartinez7745 yes !
Finally the introduction of "DO THE THING"
Book 2 might be the weakest season, but it still has some great moments imo.
I can think of at least Wan great part.
Oh, and Verrick.
@Void Animates *Spoilers*
YES. I also think it was meant to be that way because there's no more space for other avatar statues in that room of the Southern air Temple. Korra was meant to be both the last of a 10.000 years old and the new of a new cycle.
@@karlwilker579 at least put spoiler before commentimg
Why is is every one spoiling they don't
want the spoilers
Just why
I agree
I kinda thought it was cute when Korra went into the Avatar state while with the kids. To me it was like Aang himself was there racing and spending time with his grandkids😊😊
The part with Katara talking about spending time with siblings hurt me emotionally and now I wanna cry ):
If you notice Korra and her dad have similar water bending combat styles.
With Korra and Mako, they both are hot headed and stubborn, and both aren't willing to compromise. A relationship needs tolerance and understanding on both sides. You can't expect to agree on everything.
I've watched your reactions to Season 2 twice now, and you are definitely my favourite reactors. You're both so positive and appreciate season 2 despite it not being Korra's best season. You bring to attention little things that make ME appreciate it more! Thank you so much!
In an unaired pilot of The Last Airbender Katara's name was actually Kya. They changed it and named her mother Kya instead, whom this Kya is named after.
Varrick is here!
@Void Animates they introduce him In this episode.
@Void Animates This episode was already recorded
Varrick is hilarious he made laugh any chance he got
Season 2 gave us Varrick, Zhu Li Moon, Nuktuk, The Twins, & EPIC combat choreography throughout the whole season, especially in the finale!
Ok, I want to give Mako a bit more credit, especially at the start of the episode. Saying, "Tenzin just wants to help and make sure you're the best you can be" is not the same as being unsupportive.
The comments are FILLED with spoilers, I don’t think you guys should read them until episode 8
They don't read the comments.
I'm pretty sure theyve watched several episodes ahead and released them on their patreon. TH-camrs usually have up to date video releases on their patreon and post the reactions on TH-cam a little later
@@dorkywhovian1018
Thank goodness, I hate spoilers. Fortunately, I've seen the show many times.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Varrik and Zhu Li are “Doing the thing.”
When Korra went into the Avatar state racing against the kids, I wondered if that let Aang race with his grandkids for a second
You two are by far my favourite Korra reaction series, your analysis at the end of each episode coupled with Montana's psychiatric analysis makes for such a meaningful series
Fun Fact: if the animation look somewhat different is because it is, they changed the animation studio and for the first half of the season is this studio and then the final half and last of the show they bring back Studio Mir(who animated season1)
The studio for the 1st half is Studio Pierrot. They animated things like Bleach, Naruto, Black Clover, Tokyo Ghoul, etc.
Verick is the funny one in the series don’t take what he does too seriously lol 😅
Tenzin: The Avatar State is NOT a booster rocket
The Avatar Universe: What’s a “booster rocket”?
I think Korra’s lack of spirituality doesn’t have much to do with society. Although in the series modern society has really distanced itself from spiritual traditions and opted for a more political take on things, Korra’s early years consisted of her isolated away from society. The white lotus had tried to get her into the spiritual side but it just didn’t work with her, mostly because she was more of a physical bending avatar( having known 3 elements at such a young age).
I really like season 2. It has its ups and downs but overall I think it’s a good one
So did Season one of ATLA
@@christianmugisha7933 Season 1 of ATLA was better lol both were kinda boring in the start
@@deathoftheendless8565 Not really. S1 ATLA was "decent kids show" at best. There were so many issues in it that were never brought up again.
@@deathoftheendless8565 no lol season 2 of LOK was better
@@christianmugisha7933 it wasn’t
I've seen a meme that says she went into the Avatar state to play air scooter so Aang could play with his grandkids. That kinda works for me in addition to showing the casual-use plot device.
It also doesn't make sense that korras s4 Avatar state is the same strength as aang's, because then the whole needed your past lives and needing to connect with them is now useless and the only thing you need to do is find raava
@@JA-yb4xcthe past lives don't provide power though, they provide skill and guidance. Raava provides the power of the Avatar State. And the Avatar State is actually STRONGER after S2 because of Korra bonding with a full strength Raava, unlike Wan, who bonded with Raava at her weakest. So all the stuff we've seen the AS do in AtLA was basically at its weakest setting.
I think Tenzin's anger about Korra's use of the avatar state in the race was to stop her using it frivolously because it might lead to her using it more recklessly and put the avatar line at risk if she were to die in the avatar state.
the thing with the avatar state is that it's dangerous for everyone, the avatar included . it's like having thekeys to a nuke bomb . why use it for a casual fight when you already have the 4 elements ?
Are you talking about the spirit fight? They literally all could have been killed because no one could stop it, that's a perfect time to use the avatar state. I get not wanting her to use it in a race but that fight she needed it and it still didnt work
@@pennalopievalentine6604 being over the top is korra's style :D she cant help it
@@pennalopievalentine6604 also ps: no i was talking about the air bending race with Korra and the kids
I don't think the Avatar state was powerful anymore in Korra.
@@Prince_the_One It wasn't powerful at the start because she wasn't spiritual. It got a LOT stronger the more spiritual she got, and in S4 it was almost as powerful as Aang's Avatar State WITHOUT the past lives.
Meet the best person in this season, Iknik Blackstone Varrick. He is the funniest person in this show. In terms of comedy, he is the Sokka of The Legend of Korra.
They seem to have forgotten that if an Avatar dies while in the Avatar State, the cycle is broken. That is why Tenzin scolds her for misusing her power. An Avatar is at their most vulnerable while in the Avatar State
Essentially Unalaq used waterbending to purify the spirit the same way one would use it to heal someone. He's so spiritual he can do that.
Mako: *listen to Mako's police pun*
Ooo brother... This guy *STINKS!!*
Makes me laugh
The more times Aang used his avatar state, the more proficient he became with it. Korra using it, helps her master it in the long run and not just use it in emergencies
Also remember Korra is technically not a fully trained/realized avatar yet
She was coz she mastered all the elements and the avatar state
@@zitakovacs3629 she didn’t fully master Air and she didn’t master her spirituality yet
@@rosaoreo9235 She did master airbending bc she was able to perform a master level ability the air tornado. But yeh she didn't master her spirituality just the avatr state bc she was able to acces it at will😌
imo she doesn’t really feel like a dully realized avatar until the end of the series
@@zitakovacs3629 She didn’t master airbending. As the series goes by u can see Korra use more impressive and traditional moves then the last. Even in ATLA, Aang did some impressive things with his esrthebending, but even Toph told him he needed to work on it more. Tenzin also tells Korra in this ep that she still needs to work on her spiritual connection with the past lives. So yeah, she’s there but not quite there yet.
I understand korra’s anger toward tenzin and her dad because she just found out that thise two were the ones who decided for her to be imprisoned in the south which is very opposite to how all other avatars lived before her journeying the world
Honestly one of the bigger things that pushed over the edge to me was this edge to me was that they were literally speaking over Is her to her face and making decisions for her to her face
How can you not like Verick!?? He’s so funny 🤣🤣
Verick is one of my favorites 😅
I love Verick!!!
And thus we enter the most controversial season in the Legend of Korra.
In all honesty this season (despite several of the problems that it has) is still pretty fun. But it's easily the weakest of the series.
I don’t think it’s that controversial, just about everyone agrees that it was an okay season, but not the best out of them. Definitely doesn’t weigh down the whole show, but it’s just not the greatest season and that’s fine.
Bumi is the oldest, Kya is the second, and Tenzin is the youngest
i personally really enjoy book 2 but i can’t wait for book 3 this is such a good show ugh
Being friends after a break up should be a thing in this world 🌎 peace ✌️ out!
One of my favourite theories about Korra using the Avatar State is that she wanted to let Aang play with his Grandchildren.
Using the Avatar State is bringing back the previous avatars, when I saw that she used it while playing with Tenzin's kids, I just thought about the fact that Aang played for the first time with his grandkids.
That makes me emotional.
ceo asami being an absolute BOSS this episode. the outfit? the stare? having to deal with varrick? an absolute queen
You guys really should react to Shera and the princesses of power or The Dragon Prince next. Both are such great shows and not even kidding, I started Shera the minute I finished Legend of Korra!
Yes
def agree with The Dragon Prince
Voltron - Just do a full "Studio Mir" sweep.
Definitely she ra
Definitely agree with both. But maybe She-Ra first since that show has actually had it's final season. Dragon Prince still has 4 more seasons to go and we have no clue when season 4 is coming out
You guys wanted a love interest for Bolin well he’s about to find the love of his life this season.
Oh boy I can't wait to see how this reaction is going to go.
Don't forget ginger aswell
@@zero-5695 ginger is with nuktuk😂😂
@@juanfajardo1295 fair
ah but just wait for opal
Varrick and Zhu Li are permanent additions to the show. I hope you like them because you're going to see a lot of them.
Just to help, I wanted to clarify that the avatar can die in the avatar state just like in her regular form the only difference is that when she dies in the avatar state the rebirth cycle of the avatar is broken. So there won’t be any more avatars to protect the world, this was stated by Roku in ATLA when Aang was trying to learn to master the avatar state the wrong way with the earth kingdom general Roku came and told Aang he was doing something wrong and explained.
to answer kenny's question about why bending styles have become more focused on punches and jabs rather than the big more traditional martial arts styles we see in ATLA has to do with how the world has modernized, with big populated cities you cant exactly be throwing around giant fireballs or tearing up giant chunks of earth when you get into a fight lol.
"Does no one care about breakups in this universe?" Ohhhh, sweetie, just wait until the end of the season
The southern water tribe was like a small village back in the last airbender season 1; then seventy years later in the Legend of Korra it’s much bigger yet still small town and still smaller than the Northern water tribe
Spoiler
“Aang was the youngest master ever”
Spoiler
This statement remains unchanged, technically.
@@webx135Spolier
Aang was twelve when he became a master, Jinora was eleven, so technically he's not the youngest master anymore
@@Marta-uv4id she was 11 huh learn something new everyday I guess.
@@Marta-uv4id I was about th say that, *spoiler*
Not anymore he is. But I feel knowing aang he’d be estatic to see his descendants continue the tradition and became better than him
@@webx135 no your wrong lol
This comment was previously a joke, but there was someone being an asshole who refused to take it that way, so now it is this explanation
I dont think theres a need to be in the avatar state so aang can see the grandkids, she could just let aang come out whenever they agree to it.
@@vicenteasaro1823, it was just a joke
@@tannerharding978 no, looked more like a statement.
The first part speaks as if you were previously at a position that you would call non intellectual "korra beats kids using the avatar state!"
Then somehow you arrived to a statement saying that it was justified.
Just imagine that korra entered the Avatar state cause she wanted aang to play with his grandchildren ❤️😍
This season may be considered the least of each series(for complete cohesion). Though its value to the Avatar verse as a whole is immeasurable. And really the worst of Avatar; Airbender or Korra is better than most animations....
Am I crazy for fully believing that S1 ATLA was worse than S2 TLOK? They were both kinda bad, but at least S2 was kinda interesting, and made sense.
@@PxndaCakes i understand that sentiment. S1 ATLA usually gets a pass for being the inital entry into this universe(for some nostalgia plays a factor). As its mostly about building out the world; physically/touch on the lore and showing the dynamics amongst societys devoid of war and those heavily afflicted by it. But it has its lows in the middle; imo 14-17(though they're still enjoyable; give solid context). As for S2 LOK I believe many didn't enjoy certain characters traits displayed and the way the storyline was built(imo had this season been the first season there'd be a more positive take on this. As its pace contrasts heavily with S1 LOK; which many might've considered as the structure for how LOK would operate. And we all know the production issues and one aspect some will never get past.)
@@PxndaCakes I wouldn't call either of them bad personally. They're just at the lowest point of their series. Even so, both have a fair bit of stand out moments, and generally I do prefer to watch reactions for Korra season 2 than ATLA season 1. For ATLA season 1, I'm only ever interested in reactions to chapters 2, 12, 13, 18, 19 and 20. For LoK season 2, I enjoy chapters 1, 3, 4, 7, 8, 12 and 13.
This season isn't particularly one of my favs....you guys are gonna get blown away by next season 😉
I see what you did there
I understood that reference!
Yes. Season three is breathtaking.
Olatunde Akala And the season after that will rock your world.
@@geekweek9673 Smart words
Me: *hears Mako's list of police jokes*
Toph: "Leave the jokes to us, honey."
21:40 "So you are just allowed to use powers at a fair." (As she holds a prize in the fair, an Appa plushy, hidden water bender suspicion increases 😂😂 ).
If you want to see a little about where the disconnect between the north and south water tribe comes from they mention a little of it in the kyoshi novels and it’s great!
23:07 this reminds me of a superstition I heard before "If u hear a dog howl it means bad spirits are around u" idk if it's a reference to that or just a coincidence but either way it's cool that Naga was able to know if spirits were around
Mako was trying to be supportive, he wasn't being manipulative. (He isn't perfect)
Indeed
so this "spirit bending" is basically "healing" for dark spirits.
Hopefully they'll cover more about Southern Water Tribe waterbending culture in the comics. Unalok's got a point, the South lost a lot of their unique waterbending culture with the purges during the war.
I remember reading something about how that kind of businessman works: They do a good chunk of research and get people to do so, and make a decision before ever meeting the person; that brief meeting is to get an impression of them as a person, something which is done very quickly.
Why is no one talking about that he ALWAYS starts off with the cuuuuuute cat in his arms
I think the harm with Korra entering the Avatar state so casually is that if she dies, her rebirth could not call back on the Avatars anymore. The chain will be broken and 10.000 years of wisdom collected by the Avatars before will be lost. No more Aang, Roku, Kioshi etc... it is worse then Korra just dying.
Personally, I love season 2 of Korra. The whole thing feels like a Miyazaki film, and the way it plays out is so interesting. One thing I've seen already (which is why I love you guys as reactors) is you're seeing things from Korra's point of view. To me, when people hate on season 2 a lot, it's often because they don't understand Korra. But I think it makes sense: her father and Tenzin lied to her for her entire life and she's never had any choice or independence, both of which are very important to her.
When Korra went into the Avatar State to win the air scooter race, it was actually Aang just wanting to play with his grandchildren.
Nice plot twist 😂
Pretty sure that's just a theory
Past avatars don't just take over like that--that's purely fan theory.
This season is definitely the slowest and yet it’s also the most exciting! So many important things happen and ugh I can’t wait to see y’all’s reaction to episode 7, 8 and 13!
Interesting fact
Korra is related to Princess Yue because Korra's grandfather was Princess Yue's cousin and he became heir to the throne in the North because Yue passed away
After reacting to Legend of Korra, please react to The dragon prince. It is really similiar to ATLA.
Hope you will be very surpriced at the end becose this season is so underrated, personally I like this season becose it is so unique and hope you will appreciate it at least. Great reaction I’am looking foward to the next videos
Season 2 is the most underrated.
(At 19:13) All 3 of Katara and Aang's kids are over 50 years old and they're acting like kids, in front of their mother.
Montana, you predicted exactly why their relationship would be like this and involve so much fighting.
Montana: "Maybe we need to take him a little more seriously"
Me: *laughs in season 2 finale
The family drama is real in this season let me tell you that
That’s the understatement of the century.
Realer than real 🔥
wenn a fire bender vsits the northern and southern water tribe
south : oh hello you want some food
northern : im about to get RASICT
This season gets a bad wrap compared to the others, but I respect it so much for extending outside the box of what we know about avatar and getting creative. I adored learning more about spirits. Plus, that sequence where Korra goes into the avatar state up to Unalaq calming the spirit is some of the most gorgeous animation I've ever seen. It's very sad this season didn't get the funding and support it deserved, but they did a great job with what they were given. Looking forward to the rest, as well as season 3 and 4!
Takeaway: never trust water tribe men
Well,‘don’t trust Water Tribe men who take over their sister tribe and side with evil

14:50 I am so glad you caught the historical reference.
The random FaZe Jev "I just can't fucking compete!" killed me
Plot twist: Korra used the Avatar state so Aang could play with his grandchildren
Bumi and Varrick are the best parts of this season.
same thing happened to us, we are so far away from mother Nature cus of technology that we can see how beautiful things can be house are house or just watching the sky for like 10min 😅 sorry to deep 🥰
Chaotic Varrick is everything. He's brilliant.
"What could have caused them to seclude the avatar...?" Oh boy just you guys wait.
I don´t know if you know this already, but there's a really cool detail with oogi's name. In the comics, when ever aang and katara were kissing or being nice to each other, sokka would tell them they were giving him the "oogies" (as for "yikes"). So most likely tenzin grew up hearing "oogies" from sokka whenever they saw aang and katara express their love. In the end, tenzin named his sky bison after his parent's love.
I think it would be so cool to see you guys react to She-Ra and the Princesses of Power it’s a really good show.
varrick has entered the chat
love him and Zhu Li
To answer your question as to why they decided to shelter Korra like they did, I think it's just a case of over correction. The last Avatar was hunted down at a young age and as a result the world went 100 years without an avatar. So they felt the need to keep Korra under constant protection and closed off from the world until they felt she was ready.
I really like how clever and smart their predictions are. I can't wait for the next reaction
I promise varrick will become your favorite character
I can't wait to see how much you love episodes 7 and 8
There’s a pretty universal headcanon that when Korra went into the Avatar State during the air scooter race, it was Aang playing with his grandchildren 🥺 probably not what was meant by it, but doesn’t it just make you feel all warm and fuzzy?
