I think when Katara told Korra that the mind can also be your greatest enemy. I think she was referring to Azula after seeing her mental breakdown during the Final Agni Kai.
ChromaticEagle it probably meant a lot more to her considering at 14, she witnessed one of the best fire benders have a mental breakdown in front of her.
@@crystalwang1532 You’re right but considering Azula was also 14. Katara saw a girl the same age as her having a severe mental breakdown. In the scene of Azula crying you can see in Katara’s face that she was a bit sad to see Azula like that.
You gotta remember that the comics are canon and Azula got help. Zuko tried to help her and the two even worked together, with the Gaang, to find Ursa and even though Azula was still evil after everything she did regain her “normal” state of mind at the end

Hence the need to keep her father a secret because an affair baby between the married Council Member and the Chief Of Police would be a massive scandal that couldn't ever come out.

A memorial of Bumi and Earth Kingdom soldiers and diplomats occupying the territory and claiming it while trying to erase Bumi from history, labelling the mad king as a traitor, Aang would be furious. Or even just Kuvira's army rolling up and gentrifying the place. Kyoshi Island I'm just surprised fell into disarray after the Earth Queen died, they seemed like they were doing fine for the longest time, even during the 100 year war.
I love you guys especially Shira. How she wasn't mad at korra for screaming at korra or for being always angry at season 2. Giving her and understanding her consequences
Zuko alone : Zuko learns how much world was broken due to power,aggression and fire nation. Korra alone : Korra learns how much she was broken inside. These are the best parallels and contrast the same time
No, each season of the show was a season in the world. It started in winter, then ended at the end of summer. Remember that the episode with Roku was the Winter Solstice
I think it's particularly hard for Korra because she's always been so physically strong and capable of rushing into everything headlong. And now her body betrays her.
The problem was she didnt have Guru Patik there to help her open her chakras. She wouldve had to confront everything shes been through. Where was her Guru?
I'm not sure that she needed to do that. She didn't have to learn anything about chakras or herself for her to get control of the avatar state. So I'm not sure they will be of any real help besides understanding herself better. If anything, I don't think she could ever master her chakras. We assume it's a simple task because Aang did it in a day. But he was also a monk, and the airbenders are known for being crazy spiritual. So in reality it could take a none spiritual person years, if ever.
@@tylerrushford7609 i get what you're saying. It's not the chakras that are important. it was the spiritual journey that forced aang to confront the issues that caused him mental anguish. Fear, Shame, guilt, grief, lies, and illusions. If Korra had gone through the same journey she would've been able to deal with her mental condition. Then again, if we knew that it was Mercury poisioning then thats probably what caused the "madness" ie Mad Hatter Syndrome.
That was her biggest thing; she needed guidance. Aang was already wise but had ppl to guide him in every endeavor essentially. Korra I dont believe had someone to help her spiritually or so forth
@@bricky7081 I totally agree and that why I think a minority of people dislike the Korra Series because it's so very real. Real in the aspect that some of us are alone. even when family and friends have your back you can still feel so alone and people just don't want to see a defeatist attitude. I Personal dislike it because they threw out Bagua style and said all she has to do is punch and air comes out lmao. Other than that this series is written very very well.
@@bricky7081 I believe that she never got help from Aang because she wasn't connected to her spiritual side at all. And frankly, I don't think any teacher would have been able to help her. She just wasn't spiritual.
One thing I really like about this episode The realistic depiction of the frustrations for those who have been crippled and trying to undergo physical therapy to recover. I've helped a few family members who've had strokes and they feel a lot of anger at themselves and become depressed over their belief that they failed everyone around them And they get really ticked that they need help to do anything now, meanwhile friends and family seem to be progressing in their lives
If they ever do a sequel to Korra I really hope the Avatar is evil/power hungry and is the series villain. It would make some sense considering the connection to past lives is lost.
Tbf, she could've talked with the previous avatars so we may not get an evil Korra had they been succesful in kidnapping her. Also was it confirmed or was it a fan theory that Korra would've received training if she was kidnapped, because an avatar that can use: combustion, water arms, lava bend, flight and air removal would be pretty op in the avatar state.
@@jaceygaither2581 Probably an indoctrinated Avatar. Would actually make for a great plot if the one who is supposed to keep evil in check is the evil that must be kept in check. Also provides a good reason to come up with some new high-end non-Avatar benders to deal with an evil Avatar, especially if they are descended from/trained by other bending prodigies we saw in ATLA or LOK.
@@bkjeong4302 Or one who had a tragedy and just broke and became extremely unstable wanting to bring his/hers interpretation of “balance”. Like what happened to Superman in the injustice series where he went to the extreme to end all crime and war on earth and became its dictator after Joker murdered Lois, his unborn son, and all of Metropolis, all for a laugh.
I think they said Sokka died in a fight with the Red Lotus. But yeah I wanted to see him too, but when I first saw the mighty Melon Lord again and she said twinkle toes I cried.
This episode is Janet Varney's favorite episode, as well as one of Michael Dante DiMartino's favorites to write. It was also the People's Choice Winner for "Best Television Episode" in IGN's Best of 2014 for television.
i know, its like hating Anng because he couldnt save the air nomads. did the Mans forget that the literal embodiment of pure chaos ripped her soul out?
@@tommorgan9073 some people just dont like season 2. doesnt really make sense to interpret them hopping a band wagon when theyre watching naked in one succession. the real reason the series gets a bunch of hate is because some of the most popular reviews that pick the series apart focus on seasons 1 and 2 and that became the way to understand korra for the longest time until very recently where more content creators started defending the series.
6:21... technically aang was flyimg in the avatar state... twice matterafact. Once with azula in Ba Sing Se when he got shot with lightning, and when he was fighting ozai. I guess you truly have to be free of the physical world before you can do it
Anng was able to fly just like zaheer, but only for a brief moment. during the fight in de old Basin se, he opened his last chakra by letting go of Katara, he entered the avatar state and started levitating, and in the animation doesnt look like he is using a basic airbender tecnic to levitate, after that Azula kills him blocking his ability to enter to the avatar state and to levitate
I can’t believe they didn’t notice the Easter egg: When Toph says “It’s nice to see you again Twinkle Toes” it’s a reference to the “The Avatar and the Fire Lord” episode when she asks Aang if he really believes that friendships can transcend life. ❤
Y’all, when I first watched this season (on DVD without subtitles) I was crying when Korra recognized Toph and Toph called her twinkle toes 🥺🥺😭😭 Their reunion is especially emotional because in S3 of ATLA Aang tells the gaang about how Roku and Gyatso were friend and then Gyatso and Aang became friends. Toph asked Aang, “Do you really think friendships can last more than one lifetime?” and Aang was all like “ yes” and so Know hat Twinkle toes and Toph are back together I 😭😭😭😭
That’s why you don’t watch with subtitles unless the show is in a language you don’t know. These three obviously speak and understand English just fine, so what’s the point?
It’s so cool how everything gets brought full circle this season. By this point we’ve seen every main character in ATLA as an oldie... and this episode really reflects Korra as a character and her development over the time gap. This is one of the many reasons I love ATLA and LOK
Aang's pose in the fishmonger's picture is similar to the one he assumed for his air marbles trick in "The Warriors of Kyoshi". Toph refers to Korra as "Twinkle Toes", a nickname she gave to Aang when they first met. Korra has a sparring match against White Lotus firebenders, much like she did in "Welcome to Republic City". This is Tonraq's last speaking role in the series.
@@jeremyrdlamaxima7052 naw I do that on a lot of these post just in case someone misses something or doesn’t understand like Rt tv imon snow blind wave this page and the normies
@@Kidapollo92 oh ok got it that’s actually pretty nice of you. Specially on the normies. Since they are considered the most stupid of the group, so they actually need people to explain things to do that they missed.
I just realize how much it sucks to not be able to tell yourself hallucinations aren't real due to all the spiritual things that happen, it must hard to distinguish between them what is & what isn't just your mind or if it actual spirit visions
Korra Alone" was named after the Avatar: The Last Airbender episode, "Zuko Alone". The title of the graphic novel Suki, Alone is also reminiscent of both these episodes. Korra's catamaran resembles the boat that the original Team Avatar used to sail from the Northern Water Tribe to General Fong's fortress
It must have just been me but I found this episode so sad. I felt so bad for Korra - she's really been trying her best and keeps having to battle all of these people (I would even say she's had a harder time with villains than in ATLA)
When Korra makes the little flame in her hand to see Toph, the wrapping reaches to the palm of her hand. In the next shot, it only reaches to her wrist.
Man if this episode and the season 3 finale did nothing to garner even a shred of sympathy for korra and what she's struggling with, I honestly don't think anything will. Really disheartening to see you guys continue to bash her, even at her lowest point. Like did they bash Aang when he failed to save the earth kingdom at the end of book 2? Or how about when the day of black sun invasion failed? Part of what makes characters fascinating is their successes, failures, struggles and everything in between. Korra's not a perfect avatar, neither were kyoshi,roku, aang or the ones who came before them. And that's what makes them interesting characters imo.
The issue is that Korra as a person isn't very likeable to a lot of people. How often do you think about the good points about people you personally dislike?
idk if anyone ever said this but at the start of the season that fire move @ 7:52 showed how strong and fierce of a fighter korra was , now it shows her being scared and helpless and not being able to defend or fight for herself , that’s sum good writing right there , applause to the avatar writers
@@Uh_0h_zilla my point is you really don't have to be smart in this case. The most basic writing includes showing either the grow or fall of a character and parallel them to what they were before. And I'm no writer I can tell you that much.
This episode showed how strong Korra is. Everything she went through and she still gave us a real sense of dealing with trauma. The memory will never go away but you can become stronger because of it
@@christianvictor4125 her whole story is character development. Korra literally based her whole existence on being the avatar and she faced three villains that tried to take that from her. Amon took her bending, Unalaq severed her connection with the past avatars, and Zaheer almost ended the avatar in whole. This season was her learning about what being the avatar really is and that there’s more to the job than just bending
One of my favorite touches its that Korra's 'Alone' journey begins as soon as she leaves her friends and support system. Even when she is in the South Pole with Katara and her family she is still alone.
The bag Korra carries around is a green backpack instead of the gray duffel bag she had in "After All These Years". At the end of "After All These Years", Korra removes her wristbands, but at the beginning of this episode, which is set directly after Korra made her way out of the arena and into a public bathroom, she is wearing them again.
Well inconsistencies like that happen in many shows, it's nothing new. Animation errors happen in every show ever 😂. Some are in ATLA too such as when the village leader switches the wheel of punishment to Community Service, it is on the space next to Boiled in Oil. However, all of the other shots the wheel have another section in between these two and when Aang is waking up on the giant lion turtle, he is not wearing his shows in the first shot, but in the next shot, he is. These mistakes just happen in every show 😂 and bring them up literally means nothing and does nothing.
@@yukijames1321 Aang literally went on a similar path iirc in terms of listening to the advice of the past avatars, he relied on their knowledge a lot and often took what they said to be fact and the way things should be, but eventually he realizes in the post series comics that he can choose whatever path he wants regardless of what his past lives think and he rejects the advice of Roku even. So I genuinely don’t really have a problem with them mcguffining away Korra’s connection to the past avatars, I just don’t think they would’ve made a difference in her journey at all or aided her character growth.
It felt unnecessary dark for the sake of forcing Korra her own way. I’m more mad at the writers then Korra as a character. Like they wanted Korra to not rely so much on past lives, but they did not need to permanently erase the avatars to do it, they should have done what Aang did in the comics when he disagreed with Roku, he finally decided to cut ties with him and went on to do his own thing with relying on the past avatars. Korra could’ve done the same thing, wanting to shape her own path rather then what the other avatars wanted, killing them off was just shock value for the sake of shock value.
@@yukijames1321 the lore still exists. Its just a new cycle with have ties to itself. Why would you want Aang, Kyoshi and so on constantly restating their own trials and hardships into the current Avatars dilemma(always overshadow the presence of them in their own series/journey)? When we've heard their perspective already and it wouldn't be as conducive in a more civil society that deals with complex and intricate instabilities. Rather than clear cut overarching ones. As what will happen in and beyond Korra.
@@brandonlyon730 they're not erased. They are still spirits somewhere in a place yet to be discovered/rediscovered in the spirit realm(remember they were shown in the clouds while Roku told Aang of the consequences and now due to Unalaq the portals are open showing spirits dancing in the sky. Which Korra left open. Theres a possible connection there)
Bruh how long are Lupa and Roshi gonna keep trashing on Korra for loosing her connections with the past avatars? Are we gonna pretend Unaluq dosen't exist? Or that Aang made mistake's too? Are they really gonna ignore all the good Korra's done for the world?
Like really, she had to fight the literall opposite force/being to the Avatar, something only Wan had to face, and with Korra Unaluq was added to that conflict. But she is trash? Korra has faced bigger threats than any Avatar, one after another.
Ppl tend to remember all the bad stuff and the mistakes u make over the good things you do. It's a human thing kinda minds me of my mom in that way. It's not surprising though majority of the ones who hated on korra were dudes.
I don't know if this is true but this is the theory that holds the most weight the theory is that Zahir is the one who killed Sokka when the Red lotus first tried to kidnap Korra when she was little.

Best episode, just showing the first of Korra's recovery ark.
Yea, touched home for me.
Physical and mental recovery is no joke and takes years for a person to even get somewhat back to normal.
And I appreciate them showing that recovery isn’t linear.
I love you guys especially Shira. How she wasn't mad at korra for screaming at korra or for being always angry at season 2. Giving her and understanding her consequences
lmfaooo yea i hate it when the subtitles spoil shit

Thats rough buddy

These are the best parallels and contrast the same time
Quick reminder that the entirety of Atla took place in less than a year
Less than one summer even
No, each season of the show was a season in the world. It started in winter, then ended at the end of summer. Remember that the episode with Roku was the Winter Solstice
@@connorcampbell4667 So many people confuse this. Winter Solstice was season 1. Summer Solstice was season 3 (The Avatar and the Firelord episode)
@@TheShadoDev They went to Crescent Island on the Winter Solstice in season 1 and Aang talked to Roku. So Connor was right lol
@@connorcampbell4667 It actually started in autumn.
I think it's particularly hard for Korra because she's always been so physically strong and capable of rushing into everything headlong.
And now her body betrays her.
4:03 Do I remember Katara's old face wrong or is it Editor-sama again LOL???
Nah 😂 I checked, it was edits. I was hella caught off guard too.
I hate him. 😂 It's getting more and more convincing.
At least make it obvious so I don't need to check.
Lmao her chin
crimson chin face ass lmao
I was confused too loool
The problem was she didnt have Guru Patik there to help her open her chakras. She wouldve had to confront everything shes been through. Where was her Guru?
I'm not sure that she needed to do that. She didn't have to learn anything about chakras or herself for her to get control of the avatar state. So I'm not sure they will be of any real help besides understanding herself better. If anything, I don't think she could ever master her chakras. We assume it's a simple task because Aang did it in a day. But he was also a monk, and the airbenders are known for being crazy spiritual. So in reality it could take a none spiritual person years, if ever.
@@tylerrushford7609 i get what you're saying. It's not the chakras that are important. it was the spiritual journey that forced aang to confront the issues that caused him mental anguish. Fear, Shame, guilt, grief, lies, and illusions. If Korra had gone through the same journey she would've been able to deal with her mental condition. Then again, if we knew that it was Mercury poisioning then thats probably what caused the "madness" ie Mad Hatter Syndrome.
That was her biggest thing; she needed guidance. Aang was already wise but had ppl to guide him in every endeavor essentially. Korra I dont believe had someone to help her spiritually or so forth
@@bricky7081 I totally agree and that why I think a minority of people dislike the Korra Series because it's so very real. Real in the aspect that some of us are alone. even when family and friends have your back you can still feel so alone and people just don't want to see a defeatist attitude. I Personal dislike it because they threw out Bagua style and said all she has to do is punch and air comes out lmao. Other than that this series is written very very well.
@@bricky7081 I believe that she never got help from Aang because she wasn't connected to her spiritual side at all. And frankly, I don't think any teacher would have been able to help her. She just wasn't spiritual.

One thing I really like about this episode
The realistic depiction of the frustrations for those who have been crippled and trying to undergo physical therapy to recover.
I've helped a few family members who've had strokes and they feel a lot of anger at themselves and become depressed over their belief that they failed everyone around them
And they get really ticked that they need help to do anything now, meanwhile friends and family seem to be progressing in their lives
She was a hero trying to redeem her honor back just like zuko alone.
When toph said nice to see u again twinkle toes always gets me 😭🥺
14:21 "evil Korra"
Can you imagine if Zaheer and the red lotus was successful in kidnapping her when she was 7?
If they ever do a sequel to Korra I really hope the Avatar is evil/power hungry and is the series villain. It would make some sense considering the connection to past lives is lost.
Tbf, she could've talked with the previous avatars so we may not get an evil Korra had they been succesful in kidnapping her.
Also was it confirmed or was it a fan theory that Korra would've received training if she was kidnapped, because an avatar that can use: combustion, water arms, lava bend, flight and air removal would be pretty op in the avatar state.
@@jaceygaither2581 Probably an indoctrinated Avatar. Would actually make for a great plot if the one who is supposed to keep evil in check is the evil that must be kept in check.
Also provides a good reason to come up with some new high-end non-Avatar benders to deal with an evil Avatar, especially if they are descended from/trained by other bending prodigies we saw in ATLA or LOK.
@@bkjeong4302 Or one who had a tragedy and just broke and became extremely unstable wanting to bring his/hers interpretation of “balance”. Like what happened to Superman in the injustice series where he went to the extreme to end all crime and war on earth and became its dictator after Joker murdered Lois, his unborn son, and all of Metropolis, all for a laugh.
@@bkjeong4302 maybe the white lotus could become corrupted and convince the Avatar that world domination is the way to achieve balance

@@tommorgan9073 season 2 was just shit bro
i know, its like hating Anng because he couldnt save the air nomads.
did the Mans forget that the literal embodiment of pure chaos ripped her soul out?
@@tommorgan9073 some people just dont like season 2. doesnt really make sense to interpret them hopping a band wagon when theyre watching naked in one succession.
the real reason the series gets a bunch of hate is because some of the most popular reviews that pick the series apart focus on seasons 1 and 2 and that became the way to understand korra for the longest time until very recently where more content creators started defending the series.
6:21... technically aang was flyimg in the avatar state... twice matterafact. Once with azula in Ba Sing Se when he got shot with lightning, and when he was fighting ozai. I guess you truly have to be free of the physical world before you can do it
You guys should really try the dragon prince
YES
"Nice to SEE you again, Twinkle Toes"
- The Blind Bandit
Anng was able to fly just like zaheer, but only for a brief moment. during the fight in de old Basin se, he opened his last chakra by letting go of Katara, he entered the avatar state and started levitating, and in the animation doesnt look like he is using a basic airbender tecnic to levitate, after that Azula kills him blocking his ability to enter to the avatar state and to levitate
Toph: "Do you really think friendships can last more than one lifetime?"
I can’t believe they didn’t notice the Easter egg:
When Toph says “It’s nice to see you again Twinkle Toes” it’s a reference to the “The Avatar and the Fire Lord” episode when she asks Aang if he really believes that friendships can transcend life. ❤
14:03 Lupa : “This is some Degobah shit”
He’s actually right lol never thought of that until now. That swamp is like Degobah, and Toph is Yoda.
I didn't know it was coming (I watched live) and burst out crying when she said, "Twinkle Toes."

Y’all, when I first watched this season (on DVD without subtitles) I was crying when Korra recognized Toph and Toph called her twinkle toes 🥺🥺😭😭
Their reunion is especially emotional because in S3 of ATLA Aang tells the gaang about how Roku and Gyatso were friend and then Gyatso and Aang became friends. Toph asked Aang, “Do you really think friendships can last more than one lifetime?” and Aang was all like “ yes” and so Know hat Twinkle toes and Toph are back together I 😭😭😭😭

bruh I'd be MAD AS HELL if I watched with the subtitles and got spoiled when Toph came back. Smh

That’s why you don’t watch with subtitles unless the show is in a language you don’t know. These three obviously speak and understand English just fine, so what’s the point?
@@R.E._Peony By having the captions on they may catch things that they would have missed due to their constant talking.
@@girlscott411 well, if you do that you risk your spoilers. Maybe better to not talk as much.
It’s so cool how everything gets brought full circle this season. By this point we’ve seen every main character in ATLA as an oldie... and this episode really reflects Korra as a character and her development over the time gap. This is one of the many reasons I love ATLA and LOK
I’m surprised you’re not at 1mil subscribers by now. Your videos are 🔥
I literally cried at that ending scene lmao.
Aang's pose in the fishmonger's picture is similar to the one he assumed for his air marbles trick in "The Warriors of Kyoshi".
Toph refers to Korra as "Twinkle Toes", a nickname she gave to Aang when they first met.
Korra has a sparring match against White Lotus firebenders, much like she did in "Welcome to Republic City".
This is Tonraq's last speaking role in the series.

I just realize how much it sucks to not be able to tell yourself hallucinations aren't real due to all the spiritual things that happen, it must hard to distinguish between them what is & what isn't just your mind or if it actual spirit visions
Zuko: Reminds me of that one time I had an episode about me, it was called Zuko alone
it was pretty cool
Korra Alone" was named after the Avatar: The Last Airbender episode, "Zuko Alone".
The title of the graphic novel Suki, Alone is also reminiscent of both these episodes.
Korra's catamaran resembles the boat that the original Team Avatar used to sail from the Northern Water Tribe to General Fong's fortress
“Aang couldn’t fly”
Ozai in jail: 😂
"Some friendships are so strong, they can even transcend, lifetimes."
It must have just been me but I found this episode so sad. I felt so bad for Korra - she's really been trying her best and keeps having to battle all of these people (I would even say she's had a harder time with villains than in ATLA)
"What is the relationship" Lupa really got the future vision on this series
When Korra makes the little flame in her hand to see Toph, the wrapping reaches to the palm of her hand. In the next shot, it only reaches to her wrist.
animation problem/errors... lol. There's some in ATLA too, animation problem/errors happen at least once in every show ever 😂
It burned off lmao
Man if this episode and the season 3 finale did nothing to garner even a shred of sympathy for korra and what she's struggling with, I honestly don't think anything will.
Really disheartening to see you guys continue to bash her, even at her lowest point. Like did they bash Aang when he failed to save the earth kingdom at the end of book 2? Or how about when the day of black sun invasion failed?
Part of what makes characters fascinating is their successes, failures, struggles and everything in between. Korra's not a perfect avatar, neither were kyoshi,roku, aang or the ones who came before them. And that's what makes them interesting characters imo.
Fr, it never stops 🤦🏽♀️
They're making jokes, not really bashing...
@@uninterruptedrhythm4104 🤦🏾♂️
Straight facts
The issue is that Korra as a person isn't very likeable to a lot of people. How often do you think about the good points about people you personally dislike?
idk if anyone ever said this but at the start of the season that fire move @ 7:52 showed how strong and fierce of a fighter korra was , now it shows her being scared and helpless and not being able to defend or fight for herself , that’s sum good writing right there , applause to the avatar writers
Agreed.
That's the most basic writing there is :dd are you kidding me?
@@CaptainTitforce sorry Mr smart I’ll make sure to tell em to write better nextime 🤡🤡
@@Uh_0h_zilla my point is you really don't have to be smart in this case. The most basic writing includes showing either the grow or fall of a character and parallel them to what they were before. And I'm no writer I can tell you that much.
@@CaptainTitforcejust enjoy the dang show😂😂
This episode showed how strong Korra is. Everything she went through and she still gave us a real sense of dealing with trauma. The memory will never go away but you can become stronger because of it
I’ll say she’s strong when she gets actual character development
@@christianvictor4125 Too bad those in the fandom didn't get any development.....
@@iconkid9887 It's unbelievably disappointing how much people are willing to completely ignore about a narrative to keep on criticizing aggressively.
@@christianvictor4125 her whole story is character development. Korra literally based her whole existence on being the avatar and she faced three villains that tried to take that from her. Amon took her bending, Unalaq severed her connection with the past avatars, and Zaheer almost ended the avatar in whole. This season was her learning about what being the avatar really is and that there’s more to the job than just bending
6:58 RUN KORRA!!! That cute thing is gonna eat you alive.
Getting spoiled by subtitles is insane 😭
Korra IS the strongest avatar. So you can talk all that crap, but she would do better than any other avatar in her position
I'd like to point out that it looks like Toph is cooking her food with soft molten stone... Toph probably learned lavabending too.
Roshi and Lupa poke fun at serious moments in almost every reaction and ya’ll continue to be shocked 😂
One of my favorite touches its that Korra's 'Alone' journey begins as soon as she leaves her friends and support system. Even when she is in the South Pole with Katara and her family she is still alone.
Aww man, I'm sad the subtitles spoiled it for you! But I also appreciate you using subtitles so you can react without missing lines.
If you pay attention at 15:39 you see that Toph is heating her pot without fire. It's widely believed that Toph also learned and mastered lavabending.
you're right. toph seems to know about lava bending when talking to bolin
She lavabends in the comics
The bag Korra carries around is a green backpack instead of the gray duffel bag she had in "After All These Years".
At the end of "After All These Years", Korra removes her wristbands, but at the beginning of this episode, which is set directly after Korra made her way out of the arena and into a public bathroom, she is wearing them again.
Well inconsistencies like that happen in many shows, it's nothing new. Animation errors happen in every show ever 😂. Some are in ATLA too such as when the village leader switches the wheel of punishment to Community Service, it is on the space next to Boiled in Oil. However, all of the other shots the wheel have another section in between these two and when Aang is waking up on the giant lion turtle, he is not wearing his shows in the first shot, but in the next shot, he is. These mistakes just happen in every show 😂 and bring them up literally means nothing and does nothing.
korra went through so much shit chill bruh
I genuinely don't get why people are so mad the past connections got erased.
It was made such a big deal in the first series and people don't like change/ are anal about petty things 🤷♂️
@@yukijames1321 Aang literally went on a similar path iirc in terms of listening to the advice of the past avatars, he relied on their knowledge a lot and often took what they said to be fact and the way things should be, but eventually he realizes in the post series comics that he can choose whatever path he wants regardless of what his past lives think and he rejects the advice of Roku even. So I genuinely don’t really have a problem with them mcguffining away Korra’s connection to the past avatars, I just don’t think they would’ve made a difference in her journey at all or aided her character growth.
It felt unnecessary dark for the sake of forcing Korra her own way. I’m more mad at the writers then Korra as a character. Like they wanted Korra to not rely so much on past lives, but they did not need to permanently erase the avatars to do it, they should have done what Aang did in the comics when he disagreed with Roku, he finally decided to cut ties with him and went on to do his own thing with relying on the past avatars. Korra could’ve done the same thing, wanting to shape her own path rather then what the other avatars wanted, killing them off was just shock value for the sake of shock value.
@@yukijames1321 the lore still exists. Its just a new cycle with have ties to itself. Why would you want Aang, Kyoshi and so on constantly restating their own trials and hardships into the current Avatars dilemma(always overshadow the presence of them in their own series/journey)? When we've heard their perspective already and it wouldn't be as conducive in a more civil society that deals with complex and intricate instabilities. Rather than clear cut overarching ones. As what will happen in and beyond Korra.
@@brandonlyon730 they're not erased. They are still spirits somewhere in a place yet to be discovered/rediscovered in the spirit realm(remember they were shown in the clouds while Roku told Aang of the consequences and now due to Unalaq the portals are open showing spirits dancing in the sky. Which Korra left open. Theres a possible connection there)

I love how Luca knew a relationship between Korra and Asami would happen since season 1
Bruh how long are Lupa and Roshi gonna keep trashing on Korra for loosing her connections with the past avatars? Are we gonna pretend Unaluq dosen't exist? Or that Aang made mistake's too? Are they really gonna ignore all the good Korra's done for the world?
We can try
Right? It’s starting to really piss me off. Girl literally revives an *entire nation* and they still keep calling her a trash avatar. 🙄
Like really, she had to fight the literall opposite force/being to the Avatar, something only Wan had to face, and with Korra Unaluq was added to that conflict. But she is trash? Korra has faced bigger threats than any Avatar, one after another.
I can already hear what they're gonna say in the first Korra vs Kuvira fight 😔
Ppl tend to remember all the bad stuff and the mistakes u make over the good things you do. It's a human thing kinda minds me of my mom in that way. It's not surprising though majority of the ones who hated on korra were dudes.
I don't know if this is true but this is the theory that holds the most weight the theory is that Zahir is the one who killed Sokka when the Red lotus first tried to kidnap Korra when she was little.
My heart went 💀 when I saw Toph 😋
