Korra was fucking born with the ability to just wield all the elements and was trained the whole time, and still kept getting bodied💀💀😭
The villains were stronger than any villains we ever seen in the franchise
not only that but what they her is outdated @@Jing_Ling_Uncles
@@Jing_Ling_Unclesdon’t change the fact she was ass and the show was just pushing relationships and trash writing
No more often than Aang was.
@@Jing_Ling_Uncles plus you say that and bro saved his world at 12 years old 🤣
Aang’s whole arc is the fact he’s so strong he has to struggle to NOT kill his enemies
Wild to look at it that way but also holds some truth
Ehhh... What aang did was impressive for his time, but if he had fought korra's enemies instead and he was struggling, he would've got packed out. Korra's villains were more ruthless and powerful and more advanced benders. Also, Azula was easily going toe to toe with him and almost killed him in a couple of their encounters.
@@BayScrilla510 idk, the only one I could see giving him trouble was the dark avatar but with Aangs spiritual connection it’s doubtful he’d even end up having to fight him in the way Korra did. His avatar state completely negates anything Amon could do and the rest of the villians are weaker than ppl aang was stronger than as a 12yr old. Azula is a once in a lifetime prodigy who even on the verge of a mental breakdown came within a literal hair’s reach of beating both Katara and Zuko so it makes sense she can contend with aang. Honestly she’d be one of Korras toughest enemies too.
@isaiahthomas6744 nah. Korra would sweep Azula if korra is not mentally handicapped or weakened before the fight and at 100% korra is stomping imo. Kuvira is like the earth bending prodigy version of Azula and korra was able to handle her with little to no problems after becoming 100% again.
@@isaiahthomas6744 korra's villains are not weaker than Aang's villains if you're implying that. That's a straight up lie.
every villain to Korra: "oh you bend all elements? how about i bend your ass"
😂
Well when you are up against villains that can chi block and take your bending (Amon), one can yank your avatar spirit out of your body (Unalaq), one can poison your avatar spirit (Zaheer), and one villain that chooses to fight you knowing fully well you have ptsd (Kuvira). the four elements is not enough.
All Korra's enemies had a detailed plan on how to beat the Avatar, meanwhile Aangs villains will kidnap him and not proceed to kill him on the spot.
Aangs villains had a lot of opportunities to end him and they don't take it due to plot convenience. From the look of things even if Aang was hunted down and all his people were murdered he had things easy for him.
@@nwachukwunwokoma3791they didn’t kill him not simply because of plot convenience but because of the avatar cycle 🤦🏽♂️
@@trevainwitter8528 oh yeah make the biggest threat to your plans wander around knowing fully well if he dies now he will reincarnate into a new born baby that's very smart in the fire nations eyes, then why did Sozins get Roku killed bro accept Aang didn't get killed due to plot convenience.
If Aang died the next people they had to kill was the water tribe and Katara's tribe has only one water bender so it can't be her tribe so they go to the tribe with the most water benders.
@@trevainwitter8528 And don't pretend that the next avatar after killing Aang will automatically become a master at worst the fire nation will kill the water tribe soldiers and go into the tribe and kill every new born child, for a show that people claim they are in a time of war not many people died, and don't tell me the Air Nomads died that was roughly 100 years ago proving the fire nation did not use their time wisely.
Don't forget when Appa got bison napped and Aang got it back in blood
Aang killed a desert mosquito nd Appa flew bck to the group months later bc Zuko freed Appa
@@jahbarijones218that boy aang was ready to catch bodies over his bison though, this is undeniable.
@@stealthycore nah of course, its Appa. As a middle schooler, I was ready to catch a body for Appa BUT for proper context, Aang performed animal cruelty... Also, do you think he made up for it when he built that larger enclosure for the animals in Ba Sing Se
@@stealthycore sure but did he
Korra would have found a way to lose that fight
they realized she was the avatar at 5 then she was training 12 years straight just to lose to everyone
😂😂😂
She was sheltered too much
Training against bums
@@insight1239Nah the villains just like that
She was loosin to people that wasn’t even on avatar level
+Gets her ass kicked
+ loses all avatar
+ becomes gay
Dont tell me shes not the worst avatar
"I woulda killed my whole fleet and said Aang did it before I went back to Ozai"💀
Im fucking dying thats such a funny observation
Nah that shit had me cryin😭
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
One note: airbenders do NOT always create new techniques. To be a master, one must master the 36 tiers of airbending, and/or invent a technique. Aang mastered 35 tiers and invented the air scooter
sounds like a master to me
Did he master the 36th eventually?
Would find it hard to believe that he didn't, considering how much of a prodigy they portrayed him to be.
@@truespartan1000I always liked the idea that 36th tier was flying
@@JayDPhantomReapernah then no one would be a master
@@truespartan1000 im not sure. i'd imagine so
Korra got a dawg in her but the dog aint got no bark, she was always starting fights and then losing and she was also losing to non benders, thats actually crazy idgaf if they can fight, no avatar should be losing to non benders.
that where airbending comes in my friend pay attention to the show
You summed it up exactly, she’s a dawg but she got hoed by way too many people that she should’ve beaten
Why not? Aang lost to nonbender archers.
Korea ain’t got shit in her, in S1 she defeated that Anon guy by pushing him out the window with the 0 ounces of air bending ability she had. I could take the show seriously before that and it doesn’t get any better
@@vetarlittorf1807 losing to multiple weapons is more understandable but losing in a straight hand to hand fight with bending is not
korra is like the worst combination of being handed all the powers and STILL constantly needing the villains to be nerfed and plotted for the win
Exactly 😂😂
How were the villains nerfed? Wasn't it Korra who was nerfed like being chained up or facing PTSD.
Y'all are such liars and lack media literacy.
Lack media literacy? Amon had her beat but of course they wrote themselves into a corner so they ass pulled their way out of Korra losing by allowing her to airbend out of nowhere while she was being bloodbended which was complete pis.
@@artistaroundtheblock2047
No one can beat Aang if Appa is on the line. That nuke level air blast in the desert is the most powerful air bending I’ve seen in the verse, period, bar none.
Kyoshi being mid is crazy she un pangead a part of the earth.
i always hoped we got something for kyoshi like a movie or show
@@quantxmm it woulda been cool 9 years ago. Ever since they """"confirmed"""" Kyoshi to be gay on Twitter, thats been her only notable trait. If they did it now it'd just be a pander-fest.
You haven't read her book then 😂. @@Hi_My_Names_Ryan
@@Hi_My_Names_Ryan The comics for her are really good and don’t at all feel like just an lgbtq excuse. I see where you’re coming from though
@@quantxmmshe has two books
aye bro dont forget Korra had 16 years of training from the best people they could find, and she was training in bliss no stress, while aang had to do it during a 100 year war with everybody trying to kill him every other day and MASTERED 3 elements within like 3 months and defeated the most powerful guy on the planet while he was boosted by a comet like people dont know wat they talking bout.
Korra was learning from casuals though lmao Aang learned from people who went down as the greatest in their bending of all time. I respect aang but let's not act like Korra wasn't going against Amon, a lightning speed blood-bender, dark spirit forgot his name ngl but yea he's easily the biggest threat avatar has seen who she literally overpowered, Zaheer and his men who she was easily stronger than but sacrificed herself and got poisoned so he would stop terrorizing people, and Kuvira who she was poisoned against when she fought but who was also a brilliant military mind. Korra had to face byfar the bigger threats but yes she did have more training.
@@Tjaybndz Korra had more threats but non of those threats were larger than Ozai and the fire nation, Aang literally had to stop a war at the age of 12, Amon shouldnt have been an issue since the avtar negates all blood bending so Aang wouldve easily defeated amon, Zaheer and his people also shouldnt have been as much as of an issue as they were, even toph was able to beat Kuvira and korra allowed kuvira to grow in power by leaving her role as avatar for as long as she did, and Korra wasnt trained by casuals she was trained by the best masters of each element in solitude for her entire life basically. Aang was literally fighting armies on his own without any issue, Korra never couldve done anything like that
@@Tjaybndz bro Korra's trainers were hand selected during times of peace where she can practice 10 hours a day without worrying about where her next meal is coming from lmao please stop trying to make their situations sound similar
@@tb8654 I didnt make them sound similar
@@s4mur4rtist21 you said what negate, the first blood bender introduced in Avatar blood bended the shit out of aang, even amon father did the same only to be defeated by adult aang in the avatar state, fire lord wasn't even that strong compared to fucking vatue
Bruh Aang was NOT the first to kill a spirit 🤣 The previous water avatar hunted them for shits and gigs.
Oh right! because they killed his wife/girlfriend! Yeah, Korra is lame.
@@taloutezeroeven worse the avatar that did that was a water bender to
Yep. Avatar Kuruk. All spirits were opps to him
I feel like Water Tribe Avatars stay taking Ls 😂
kuruk was manly in the spirit world because Yangchen killed so many spirits she offset the balance. But by doing that, his girl got snuck by ko the face stealer.
Bro how can you not acknowledge the ending of ATLA where we literally have the title as AVATAR AANG like saying and showing how he finally became avatar aang after not just defeating ozai but completing his journey and bringing peace to the world. It was so PEAK. Like the very first episode was something like A BOY IN ICE or something and the final episode lets you know that that boy in ive has now become SO MUCH more ....ABSOLUTE PEAK WRITING.
Tony right about Kyoshi ya'll saying Kyoshi ain't all that ain't read the books! Kyoshi was a savage avatar in a savage time period she makes Korra look soft as hell! She's definitely stronger than Aang too.
Kyoshi is so overhyped by the fandom that is really becoming annoying
@javierlopez9789 we will not sit here and take this bad fucken opinion. Kyoshi was the only avatar who was ready for the smoke, stood ten toes. Was ready to kill. She removed so much earth it was considered a island. She lava bended before it was a thing. And used so much wind that was able to push tje island out to sea. And then on top of that she discovered immortality but then still gave it up to continue the cycle.
@@Jackdiddly1szeto definitely lava bended before kyoshi…
@1kmindset never said he diddnt. I said she was shown to do it before it was a thing.
@@Jackdiddly1 you literally just contradicted yourself LMAO acknowledging that szeto lava bended before kyoshi, but she did it before it already was a “thing” when it is already a thing 😭😭😭😭
My problem with LoK is that so many of the problems she and her team had wouldn’t have happened had she just listened to the OGs😂
That's the point...
Like what?
thats the point of her whole story are u expecting an atla part 2 ?
That’s why I always say Korra started looking like a avenger 😂 always turning ppl lives to a worser state
Well, that's the thing, Korra never develops....
Nothing but factual statements were stated. Korra some real ice spice tier writing
Ice spice catching a stray under a video about Avatar is wild..........u right tho 😂😂
He got a few things wrong
Dang what ice spice do 😭 ( you right tho )
@@deolu1133majority of it sums up the truth korra was ass
@@deolu1133😂😂😂😂 you know that show ass stop tryna defend it
And another thing i noticed is their fighting styles...
As an Airbender, Aang was "literally" air. Moving like the wind, able to evade and escape most attacks and claustrophobic situations, very flexible and defensive in nature, also cool headed...
Korra fighting style, on the other, is quite rigid even for a Water Tribe native. I don't think most earthbenders are that rigid
Offence oriented, threw more hands than Aang, got smoked almost every time before she kicked her ass into gear. Her being hot headed in most battle situations was not in her favour.
I have never been more pissed off than in S2 where Unalaq removed Raava and flogged the living shit and past lives out of existence😭😭
She was getting her shit killed and she could not throw hands
@@MrTheCatGuy like bruh😭😭
Aang had whole nations beefing him for disappearing while the Fire Nation chased him everywhere, all the time. Who the heck is Korra beside what Aaang had to go through?!
Tenzen truly had that dog in him. He only lost to Zahir because he got jumped. 1v1 he was cooking him. Even in the 1v3 or 1v4, can't remember which, he did relatively well
I mean he is the son of the avatar so of course he like that 😂
its not "good" but its definitely entertaining as hell, doesnt hold a candle to TLA but im always down for some bending
honestly, I thought the villains were the best part of the show really. They had some demons in there with the reveals being good as well. but ya atla >
It is good
That’s the thing though, I didn’t even like the bending in Korra most of the time. The choreography was much more bland to me. I know that society as a whole is much more detached from eastern tradition in Korra, so maybe that’s why. But I noticed a big decrease in how much martial arts influenced the fights, and for me personally, that brought the bending down several pegs compared to ATLA.
I remember S1E1 there was some firebender literally running with his hands out in front of him, going flamethrower mode. Even episode 1 of ATLA had more inspired bending than that.
@@Swonke I kinda fucked with the style change bcuz it definitely reflected korras character more, she was like a brawler that had bending it was pretty dope. but I do prefer the martial arts influence of tla
I think it’s good, but TLA is EXCELLENT. Thats a big as hell gap, and sadly LoK doesn’t reach it. It’s still an enjoyable show with a lot of good in it, but it was way more lows than Avatar.
This was therapeutic for me. Thank you.
Wack
Straight out, for the longest time I thought I was the only one saying LoK is ass
Feel like you chilling with the bros during a blunt rotation.
This is so true. Korra stans downplay aang so much. Like this kid is a beast. Stop playing with him
Remember aang beat ozai while trying his best not to kill him bro 😭😭😭
Bro could had a opening to kill him whilst holding back 🤣
He had the chance to redirect the lightning but chose not to
So did Zuko
I mean before AS Aang was being folded so not really. He beat him after the past lives kicked in.
Korra’s generation wasent even about bending like that ozai’s whole life was fire bending and Aang beat him
The biggest difference I noticed between the two of them was the sheer fear in opposing villains when that man Aang went avatar state
Korra to me is like Rey in Star Wars. Both, based on legacy, could’ve and Should’ve been better. But unfortunately, writing and outside influence (time restraints/studio heads) ruined them.
now that's offensive and disrespectful to Korra.
@@joeclark2590 🤣🤣 real talk I feel bad for the actress she got offered the role of a lifetime and it fumbled and it WASNT EVEN HER FAULT
Imo you’re half wrong. I think Korras writing was done well and it was fleshed out I even have her top 3-5 best writing in the show. But your right about outside writing ruining them
Korra is a MUCH better written character than Rey what. She actually has a personality and defined character struggles and arcs
@@sofakingdom5806 he is just a Korra hater and will say anything to downplay her.
YOO U DIDNT miss u went bar for bar especially bout azula and Roku and zuko connection 😂 I agree wit everything gang
If I’m not mistaken I don’t think aang was even touched until season 2 he was weaving everything that came his way. I think the only people that hit aang was azula and ozai.
Aang was fighting fodder in season 1 compared to korra's season 1 debut. Cmon just think.
@@BayScrilla510 Korra got hit by non-benders I can say without a doubt in my mind none of them would even get close to aang. His speed was crazy in the first season and then they nerfed him. The same aang that can literally run on water and run faster than the winds (that was literally stated in the show) in the blue spirit episode couldn’t catch azula in the day of black sun episode. They nerfed him heavily later on in the seasons.
@@kingcari2631 Aang never had to deal w/ bloodbending or people that actually trained to fight benders. I agree with aang being more defensively sound, but to say Aang would've dealt with it better w/o source material is just benign
@@trerowe22 aang was fighting elite firebenders and earthbenders (Dai Lee) and was never hit by them. Again the only people that were shown to damage aang were azula and ozai and I think Zuko once in ba sing se in the season 2 finale. Add in the fact that we’ve seen the avatar state overpower bloodbending when he fought against ukon. Now I don’t know if that’s because he was older and therefore stronger, or what but the avatar state can definitely negate blood bending. I’m not saying he’s invincible or anything but I feel like people forget aang was a 12 year old kid fighting a war. He didn’t have years of training like Korra did to master the 4 elements he had a few months. If aang was Korra’s age and fought Amon and the equalist he would’ve bodied them no question.
@@kingcari2631 nah that's very fair points made. Well said
They brought up vaato like korra was makin it past the face stealer😭
Kuruk: hold my polar bear jacket
Wow, I did not know that the creators said Korra would win against Aang. I knew she was strong and a pretty good fighter, but I had just assumed that Aang being Weave Nation certified would mean she would not even be able to hit Aang. It's been awhile since I saw The Last Airbender, but I can't even remember Aang ever being hit in a real fight besides when Azula attacked him from behind with lightning. And Korra is too straight forward to attack someone from behind, so I do not know if she would be able to hit him. Maybe I am wrong. I would imagine the creators know their characters better than me.
What they really said was 9-10 aang would avoid conflict
@@TheyLoveMeech After this video, I looked it up. Yes, they did say that. That is about what I would expect. However, then he said "And there's always that 1 time Korra, like, gets a hold of his, like, cowl and then just beast the crap out of him."
Bro aang when he was angry about appa was crazy. Korra has no chance. He just so skilled and the way he styled on ozai was insane.
It’s taken out of context. It talks about character if anything. Korra is not a pacifist like Aang.
Aang would fold Korra like origami. They probably said that while doing Korra to hype her up or smt
I feel so sorry for the next avatar bro. They gonna only have korra to give advice to them😭
A big problem with The legend of Korra is that it has amazing concepts but it fumbled a lot
Like what?
@@kylejackson7913like ruining Aang’s son Bumi. I remember being a kid watching Korra and being excited for certain conflicts like Bumi, like General Iroh, like the water tribe Civil War, like Korra training underground fighting, or even Toph for that matter. The show just consistently left me disappointed and didn’t have the same level of writing Avatar The Last Airbender had.
@@huesoftheheart139 the writing far exceeded ATLA. The deconstruction of the hero archetype explored through the lens of a coming of age story with geopolitics as the connective tissue is narratively MUCH more complex than ATLA.
@@seismic6435 I’d love to hear more of your perspective b/c I 100% disagree. I believe the things you mentioned carry over from ATLA, though it was less coming of age but ATLA consistently challenged the hero archetype and I’d argue significantly better. The characters overall in ATLA were written better, flushed out better. The themes were stronger and more impactful. The overall premise, is even stronger emotionally and fundamentally. I’d love to hear more of your perspective though.
@@huesoftheheart139 i disagree wholeheartedly. ATLA didn't challenge the hero archetype in the slightest and relied heavily on typical shounen anime tropes; young charismatic but sympathetic male protagonist who doesn't "kill" or exhibit any unsavory traits. It's corny to me because it's EASY to write in that framework. LoK, on the other hand, flipped the script on its head and instead of fulfilling the typical hero archetype, deconstructed it. Korra's a female, she's abrasive, she naturally gifted, but fundamentally flawed; her ego (ie sense of self) is inextricably tied to her ability to perform. Throughout the seasons, the writers take that ability away. They removed the situational control that engendered her elevated sense of self importance. It's very akin to a kid who did well in HS, maybe even college getting into the real world and realizing no one gives af about them. How does one navigate that in a healthy capacity? It's a MUCH more interesting character study than Aang, imo. Then there's each season's villain representing an important stage of Korra's character development. Amon's the initial ego check that makes you question your self, Unaloq is the first misguided "adult" decisions you make in life that may ultimately result in trauma, i.e. enter Zaheer. That trauma impedes your ability to perform, which should ideally lead to ego death. But in order for that ego death to occur, you have to face yourself, i.e. enter Kuvira, who is Korra's direct foil. Korra then ends the series as a much calmer, collected, mentally fortified adult who is much more prepared for what life has to throw at her. It's a blueprint for the kids who grew up watching ATLA because they would have been in the same age range as Korra by the time the show aired.
If we are going 1v1's I don't think Aang really ever loses. He just energybends whoever he's against and it's GG. And he's the best at using the Avatar state, lil bro was a fully realized Avatar at 12 years old and then was able to stay in the Avatar state for 100 years while frozen.
Even if we say Aang can't energybend(even though it'd be totally in character); Aang still has feats that are more impressive than Kyoshi's, even the Kyoshi Island feat, Aang has the Battle for Yu Dao. Aang separated the entire colony from the land surrounding it, effectively cutting off both the Fire and Earth Nation forces entirely. The reason this is more impressive is because Yu Dao is the 3rd largest settlement of the Earth Kingdom, it's *massive.* Ba Sing Se is stated to be the largest city of any nation by FAR, it's like the size of a country, so if Yu Dao is even just 10% the size of Ba Sing Se, Aang is stronger. In fact there might be one single Earth bending feat greater than BOTH Avatar Aang and Avatar Kyoshi's feats, - Oma, a scorned woman(jk but fr). Oma raised the mountain that would later become home to the 2nd largest Earth Nation colony, Omashu. You could argue that this feat is greater than Aang's by virtue of it being the 2nd largest city, but I'd still argue that Yu Dao has more surface area and is therefore a more impressive feat, due to Omashu being layered vertically. Oma's feat is still more impressive than Kyoshi's though!
In Rise of Kyoshi, Yokoya (What would later become Kyoshi Island) is described as being a small town and Kyoshi Island is described as being a small island, shown to be rather small on world maps. Raising Omashu is a mountain level feat, which is greater than Kyoshi's small island feat, and separating Yu Dao from the land around it is at least relative to Omashu. Kyoshi feats just LOOK more impressive because she didn't have the same level of control as Aang, Aang was able to compress water and stone to make his bending more effective without being overtly destructive, and ofc he's a pacifist so he's holding back anyways. Kyoshi had great control later in her life of course, but Aang's control is still on a different level imo.
Aang even could've beaten Ozai without using the Avatar state, had he decided to use Lightning Redirect offensively. Lil bro CHOSE to do a pacifist run against the strongest bender of his Era during Sozin's Comet. At 12/13. Just using Kid Aang, Yu Dao makes him stronger than Kyoshi, and The Rift part 3 has Aang show that he's relative to Yangchen's most notable enemy, General Old Iron. I don't even think Adult Aang has to be brought up tbh.
What a fucking g, you came with the receipts, kudos to you sir
I swear you Aang fanboys wank, ignore official material and lie. Aang has lost PLENTY of times. All you Aang fanboys do is cherry pick and be bias. You've been debunked already. Korra>Aang.

Wins?
@Wreck6965 Amon Zaheer Kuvira Vaatu ? Did she not beat them, or does it not count cause she ain't do it the way you wanted her too?
I'm with you on this. Aang had to get it out the mud as far as training to be Avatar and the whole war thing. Korra, I like her, but she had way too many advantages; Avatar training, age, hell her friends; Mako and Bolin at the start compared to Katara and Sokka? It's not even close. And she had even stronger allies meanwhile Toph takes a while to become "Her" and Katara took even longer. Aang was the Streets Avatar: basically the nice kid in the hood that's learning as he goes to do what he has to in order to survive but tbh he doesn't really want to fight. Homie just wants a baddie and to chill.
Korra is the suburban avatar 😂 tutors, shelter, food, funding, friends, everyone crushing on her, etc. She had it all and somehow managed to underwhelm.
Just because she had advantages doesn’t mean she didn’t struggle. That’s what y’all fail to understand.
@kylejackson7913 Struggling isn't the issue. It's more that she did less with more than Aang did, despite his disadvantages. She has every single thing over him from allies, training, prep time, age, etc. Homie was 12 and came out of a 100-year hibernation and basically was indirectly told, "This is all your fault. Fix it." Not to mention at the time he thought he was the last of his people. At 12 years old. Having to find all of his teachers, two of whom were around his age and more like classmates/peers themselves. Korra isn't a bad Avatar, but compared to Aang, it's like damn 😅
@@theCHILLIntrovertyeah bro I think a lot of people are overlooking Aang’s resolve to persevere when most would fold and drown in nihilism/hopelessness
I love this description honestly 😂 it’s perfect
I feel like there actually were greater threats in The Legend of Korra. For example, blood bending is probably the most terrifying, overpowered bending in the show. It was so overpowered that it was actually banned, and the main characters agreed that it should be banned. In The Legend of Korra, the very first main villain could blood bend at any time and did not need the full moon.
And they randomly smoked him 😂
@@amgmtwak Well, it is more like his brother (who was also a blood bender) smoked him by blowing up the boat they were both on while he had his back turned.
@@Gears_Starting ik how he died but it was wasted potential
@@amgmtwak I agree with you there. I just do not think it was random.
Aang did fight a blood bender their dad. Then he no diffed him and took his bending away.
The only characters in LOK who could take Ozai would be either Amon with his psychic Bloodbending, and MAYBE dark Avatar Unalaq. In either case it revolves around either catching him completely by surprise, and neutralizing his ability to move or Fire/lightning bend. Now that I think about it; given how, like others of his family, Ozai doesn't need to use his limbs and just needs air in his lungs; he'd still be dangerous. Don't get me wrong; I enjoyed Zaheer, his group, and Kuvira was interesting as a threat; but none of them held a candle to the megalomaniacal, genocidal, firebending master. Kuvira's giant robot might have a chance though; not Kuvira on her own though.
They amped Ozai up the entire show to the point where he could only be taken out by a fully realized Avatar, or a supremely skilled warrior who could either take advantage of a celestial event like the eclipse, or was somehow able to get close enough to chi-block or kill him before Ozai could pull a Yamamoto and turn them to ash! Korra was strong; but she was never made out to be that skilled or strategic; and it took raw power, extreme skill in using that power, and strategic adaptation to beat Ozai. To paraphrase The Guardian from Samurai Jack: Korra ain't the one; I'm sorry, but she just ain't.
Korra beats up ozai easily, especially with her firebending amped by the comet. The korra vs kuvira fight is invalid because korra was still poisoned and traumatized, she literally beat her ass and tanked a giant laser with her bare hands in the finale
@@alialkuwari8155 The same comet that would amp Korra, would be amping Ozai and that's nothing to sneer at. Additionally; wouldn't Korra's avatar state be significantly weaker than Aang's after the link to the past Avatars was broken? And I did mention that Korra has power in spades; but she doesn't use it strategically. Fair point on her being poisoned though. Just thought of this, but wouldn't her avatar state be weaker than Aang's since the link to the past avatars was broken?
I also did mention how Kuvira's bot had a shot given the high melting point of the metal used. Only ways I can see Ozai taking that thing down without an army is either getting inside and destroying the power source or using fire to erode the ground; breaking its root like Zuko did to Xiao.
@@DragonmanX90 Yeah, but from my observation, korra most used element is firebending, idk if she is ozai level in firebending but she is damn near close. Idk if avatar state is weaker but she wouldn't need it, especially considering she isn't a pacifist like aang
@@alialkuwari8155 I want to say no way in hell is she at Ozai's level in terms of firebending considering how basic her use of it tends to be. But that could be a matter of personal taste; both her for keeping it simple, and me for wanting more nuance in combat. Korra not being a pacifist does have some ground since Aang did spend a lot of time running and trying to circumvent the opposition instead of confronting it. Still; hard to imagine any avatar facing a comet empowered Ozai without going into the Avatar State.
@@DragonmanX90 Korra avatar state is stronger but less skilled i would say, she has a better connection with raava in its prime state (big light emitting kite) which is the thing that gives the avatar state its power amp, although she lost the knowledge of the other avatars she cant get '''controlled'' by them anymore and fight like a machine as aang does, and yeah ozai is a threat and not a easy fight for korra cuz the comet is kinda broken but it would be a win in probably a cooler ending than aang ( energy bending wasnt the way to go dammit why did it have to end like that)
Azula will be a fucking nightmare to Korra
foreal if she gets ptsd from zaheer, shes retiring as avatar after dealing with azula, mind you it took her 3 YEARS to recover from zaheer
She was a nightmare for Aang and everyone else, stop acting like it's just Korra
Legend of Korra had a ton of potential that could've made it better than A:TLA, but the writers fumbled the bag.
1). 0:56 - I felt like Korra getting her bending back kind of ruined her potential growth. Her main character trait Season 1 was that the world was technologically evolving to she didn't know who she was without being a bender, and being the Avatar. In the season finale, she could've lost her bending, then came back and squared up with Amon anyways with just regular hands on some Dark Knight Rises timing, showed she was fighting for everyone by admitting the equalists had a point and helped to get rid of bender oppression peacefully (that whole Equalist conflict could've been handled better), then slowly get her bending back in the next couple seasons.
2). Asami - They fumbled the bag with Asami - while she's cool, she could've done so much more. She could've been like the tech-savvy non-bender friendly Lex Luthor to Korra's spiritual Superman, the other side of the Equalist conflict. She's got motive, she's the head of Future Industries, it's all right there, but somehow she had nothing to do with any of the ideological conflicts of Book 1.
3). Unalaq and Vaatu - I think they should've had the whole Harmonic Convergence and Vaatu as the final conflict of the series; it was just too big to just shoehorn in Season 2 alongside the Water Tribe Civil War (which had a good start). On that note, Unalaq had a point about the spirits needing to come back to the world, but then he just became pure evil and irredeemable for no reason. You already had half the villains in the Red Lotus anyway, just make them the overarching villains in the shadows, with their goal to get rid of the Avatar permanently (maybe they feel there shouldn't be one person with that much power, like Lex Luthor or something) by using Harmonic Convergence to take Korra's powers or something.
4). While Zaheer was a cool villain at the start, he was also kind of stupid; he wanted to free the world from dictatorships and government rule by creating anarchy, while somehow failing to realize that anarchy always turns into chaos before leading back to dictatorship (Kuvira's Earth Empire) anyway.
5). Kuvira started off as a good villain; she was honestly just sliding for the Earth Kingdom. The Earth Kingdom was in chaos and the Avatar was gone for 3 years, she stepped in to try to get things back under control. But then they made her a power-hungry psychopath for no reason. They keep doing that with Korra's villains; give them a good point for doing what they do, then turn them into nutjobs that have to be stopped at all costs, which kind of takes away from the point they were trying to make in the first place and turns them into strawmen.
6). Mako and Bolin - could've been great foils to Korra's relatively privileged upbringing in Season 1. Maybe they could dive into their life on the streets a bit more, or have them encounter their parents' killer like Katara did, I don't know.
7). Pro-bending kind of sucked - elemental team battles as a sport, and you're just stuck in a small ring throwing punches? Where's the terrain changes and the creative bending moves? You could've had a bunch of benders making mountains, rivers, small cities, even small volcanoes to fight around, with the team's objective to capture the enemy's flag or incapacitate their team. It could've been like an elemental Call of Duty or Fortnite or something, with any crazy elemental bending you could think of. Remember all the Team Korra vs. the Red Lotus fights in Season 3? Pro-bending could've been like that, except dialed back a bit for safety. Seems like a wasted concept to me.
8). What if during Harmonic Convergence, Korra willing gave up her powers for good, and was able to bring peace between the Spirit World and the human realms? Basically she's showing the world, and herself, that she doesn't need to have superpowers or even be the Avatar to help people and bring peace. What if the Avatar cycle actually ended with Korra during Harmonic Convergence, but it wasn't seen as a bad thing? When it comes to the world getting destroyed, you pretty much know that it's going to be saved, so there's no real suspense there, but deciding whether or not the Avatar cycle should continue is a debatable question that could easily have a lot of uncertainty behind it, depending on how you write the history of the Avatar (while most of them do good for the world, some of them probably haven't). Not to mention, how gutting it would be to have Aang as Korra's second spiritual mentor throughout the series (like Roku was to Aang), just to lose him for good during Harmonic Convergence?
9). Tenzin and his family, Lin, and the other characters are alright for the most part. There's some stuff that could be better (flashback to Tenzin as a kid or young adult and his life with Aang and the rest of the old cast, have Zuko, Toph, and Katara reunite, have Zuko reunite with Iroh in the Spirit World, do more with Tahno, maybe visit the Fire Nation to see how they're doing) but they're alright.
TL;DR - The question of whether or not the world needed an Avatar going forward should've been the main conflict of the series. Gives the Red Lotus a singular goal, and is great for Korra's character growth. Even if Nickelodeon pulled the rug out from under the writers Season 1, they could've still ended on a cliffhanger (will Korra get her powers back?) or just kept to the story, like they did for the Last Airbender in episode 13 of Book 1 before the rest of the series got greenlit. Basically, have that question as the central conflict in LOK, tweak a couple things, and everything else falls into place.
Tbh only thing I liked about Kora is…shawty was always ready to throw hands. She lost majority fights but she never backed down from them either
Korra's Ls lies in her hotheaded overconfident demeanor. She charge before she thinks.
Aang on the other hand knows his strengths. He assess the fight and knows when it's an L. He causes enough damage, while avoiding damage and a distraction for the whole crew to escape and fight another day.
Not Korra: CHAAAAAAAARGE.
@@benmavinn1666
But how is Korra supposed to escape from Unalaq? He was going to destroy the whole world, she can't just run. Same goes for Zaheer (who restrained her) and Kuvira who was colonizing the world. In fact it would make it even worse since now Kuvira can colonize in peace.
Korra escaping from her problem wouldn't work since there won't be another day, Unalaq and Vaatu would destroy the world for example.
This isn't Aang's time and I don't think you understand that. What worked then won't work now.
Korra getting beat almost every episode was annoying i was like you can't get 1 win without the avatar state? Idk what the writers were thinking i liked season 3 but even Bolin has better scenes in season 3 and why is Bolin getting the best character development along with tenzin's daughter

That mf in chat was probably the same mf yappin She-Hulk goin through more shit than Bruce Banner 💀
I rly enjoyed Korra as a character. Spoiled, hotheaded and privileged kid that was put on a throne since birth. Tryna solve things with brute force because that usually worked for her as she was very strong. But when faced with how brutal the outside world was.
The reason why Aang was more "feared" was because he was the only airbender left on the planet, so it was more of a shock factor to see him, than Korra whose existence was known and so the different villains were prepared to eventually deal with her.
I'm fully aware she doesn't beat Aang if they were the same age but that doesn't make her a bad character.
She's definitely the more interesting characters in her story however a good chuck of the characters aren't as written as welll as the ATLA cast so that's not really a high bar lol. Korra and the rest of the cast if handled by the OG writers could of been written WAY BETTER.
I just thought about this, but what if instead of Aang giving Korra her bending back at the end of S1, she had to relearn or reunlock the other elements one by one throughout the rest of the series.
Might’ve made for an interesting character arc
Aangs story was about a non-connected world that needed an avatar and got an avatar that was amazingly talented but DID NOT want to be the avatar.
Korra’s story was about a world that was much more organized and unified, that in a lot of ways didn’t need an avatar, and got someone who DEEPLY wanted to be the avatar, and had to learn her role was not what was promised.
They were very different stories and their struggles are different. Is stepping into your ‘glorious destiny’ an easier path than realizing your destiny is kinda a lie? I think that’s a valid question
Man this video is hilarious. Saw Toni on rdc’s channel and decided to check out his channel. Peak fr!
Tony*
As someone who loves Korra but also respects and acknowledges the legacy Aang created; what makes Aang the better Avatar, is that he ended The Hundred Year War after he missed the opportunity 100 years prior. He finished what he was meant to do but he also lived two different lives. He used what he knew in his past to right the present.
Korra didn’t get that opportunity. She didn’t just lose Raava, Unalaq manipulated and betrayed her to get her in the Spirit Realm and away from the people that could’ve helped. He also used the power of Harmonic Convergence to rip Raava out of Korra, and then he beat her to death, severing Korra’s connection to her past lives and the knowledge they had yet to give her. She didn’t get the level of spiritual knowledge that Aang had because it was ripped from her. It’s a different argument when from Day 1 of your existence a whole ass cult wanted to murder you and that’s what led to everything that happened.
The point of Legend of Korra was to show what happens when you take your power for granted. Korra lost what she did because she didn’t take her role seriously. It’s not like she took it as a joke but she got cocky and was put in her place from the very beginning. Her time was a completely different experience than what Aang had lived through and rebuilt.
"Oh you're the Avatar? I don't give a SHIT"
I haven't watched the show yet, but a female lead and bad reactions to the series? I already know it ain't coincidence. The usual bad writing of female character is on the table.
Saying only Korra catches Ls is crazy. Aang got captured by archers. Burned katara while firebending. Captured by the Wrestling Ppl along with Toph. Literally was KILLED by Azula 😅
AZULA SNUCK HIMMMM
Buring Katara was because he just learned and he was 12 so that's null. wrestling people snuck up on him and unlike toph he can't sense that, Korra would've been equally screwed in that situation. when azula shot aang, he wasn't in control and quite literally wouldn't have been able to do anything, if korra was doing the same thing she would've died too. also might I add, aang redirected the most powerful lighting strike in his first time ever redirecting lightning, beat azula who is most def more powerful than any fire bender in LOK, learned all of the elements in under a year and saved the world when everyone either hated him or was actively trying to kill him. korra was spoon fed everything, she had the best teachers, society accepted her, she was never on the run in general and she still got clapped in almost every fight.
Non of which Aang ever went all out in. The time he did was against Azula even then his chakra was locked giving Azula a chance to shoot him down.
@@zay1up what the FUCK do you mean snuck him he decided to set off his ultimate while being SURROUNDED MID BATTLE CAUSE HE WAS LOSING bffr
And that trash excuse of an avatar got her gayass handed to him 85% of the show
2 things. 1. Generations of innovation in bending techniques and technology definitely made Korra’s verse enemies stronger. 2. Korra grew up in a world where she was naturally gifted and every one else was at peace. She struggled to justify her being necessary. She also struggled against her own ego which is why her getting her ass beat is dope. She had to earn it.
TLDR LOK and TLA are completely different. Writing isnt as good but it’s super fun to watch and adds a lot to the universe. I wish more people talked about what was good about the show. I enjoy rewatching it
Bro in the Kyoshi novels she pulled up a fuckin mountain in THE MIDDLE OF THE ARCTIC from hundreds of feet below her
All I can hear is “I’m the avatar and you’ve got to deal with it” I don’t remember the video it’s from, but they were dunking on Kora for like 3 hours.
Your rant from 2:00-5:00 makes no sense bro. It is like you didn't even watch Korra.
You are trying to say "Korra didn't go through as much shit as Aang", but then go on to explain how she lost the entire lineage of Avatar spirits, effectively leaving her on an island with no support. She gets heavily traumatized in every season. You also (incorrectly) say she has poison in her body the entire series, when she only had the remaining poison that Su Lin failed to extract in her for the first half of season 4. In the same breath you say Korra is an objectively bad show....talking about the poison left in her body? Bro that entire poison extraction arc with Toph was symbolism; It was Korra releasing trauma and her PTSD, AND TOPH DID NOTHING TO REMOVE IT, THERE IS LITERALLY A WHOLE SCENE DEDICATED TO TOPH SAYING THAT SHE WILL NOT REMOVE THE POISON AND THAT KORRA NEEDS TO DO IT HERSELF. I literally just think you are absorbing the opinions of content creators that also didn't watch or analyze the show, because you are just blatantly wrong on how you are remembering shit.
After Korra removed the poison, she is back in shape, and is able to win against Kuvira.
You seem to not like the entire show because Korra was not as powerful as other characters, but imo that makes her villains more compelling. There is stuff to criticize about the show, but your opening "argument" is horrendous.
my complaint with Korra is that they repeated the "beat the final boss" trope 3 times for show. Like i get you cant redo the fire nation plot but at least try to do a long term plot with what you can.
season 3 was absolutely great tho. Has my favorite villain in all of avatar
2:27 Image being paralyzed,have amnesia,your unc dies,poisoned,CPTSD , being blood bent,killed twice,having everyone turn against you 3 times. Homeless twice. Imprisoned ,was having your litteral life force & the life force of thousands BEATEN OUT OF YOU!! LIKE A DOG BY YOUR OWN BLOOD TO! ? Yeah imagine that shit huh son!?
Kyoshi shifted tectonic plates and broke a peninsula off the mainland and blew it off the coast that SHE MADE with air bending to create an island. STOP PLAYING WITH HER
The avatar and the firelord is S tier writing for sure
My only pushback is Azula literally murdered Aang
Man and iroh went to prison and was in there getting STRONG 💪🏾 that was litt
I HATE when people try to use the whole argument of "Well the writers didn't expect the show to continue" in order to justify how disappointing Season 1 was & its plotholes.
I'm like, "If y'all were under the impression that Season 1 was your only Season, why wouldn't y'all just write your show WITH THE ANSWERS WRAPPED UP THEN?!!"
my nigga avatar is a series u cant do in 12-13 episode its a whole 20 episode type series
@@x97k8 OK....??? Korra should've been written in order to wrap everything up in those 12-13 Episodes then. If you can't, DON'T WRITE IT IN THE FIRST PLACE.
@@TheGloryXros Yeah people always use behind the scene problems to justify something bad. It's like when people say Dragon Ball Super had bad animation in the 1st arc, and people respond with "Well the animators were on a tight schedule" and it's like ok? I can have sympathy for them, but that doesn't make the animation suck any less, you gotta take art at face value. If someone cooks you crappy food, it's going to taste bad, regardless if the cook has a sad back story.
Exactly
If we being fair Aang couldnt see Ozai either. He got lucky with the avatar state, bro had help. However by that same notion, Korra also had the exact same help and was still getting her ass beat.
It took the combined forces of aang, sokka, katara, toph, suki, iroh, and Zuko just to get Azula to retreat. Even when she was off her game facing Zuko and Katara she still managed to drive them into a corner. Katara a bender relative in power to toph admits that they’d need to jump Azula in order to win. Toph beat the shit out of kuvira, and kuvira beat the shit outta korra. So yea if Azula and Korra fought, korra is getting slow roasted over blue flames.
7:01 - 7:10 That was a straight up LIE!! There are 2 (really 3) Avatars that came before Aang that was throwing hands with Spirits and doing damage on their own.
1) Wan the 1st Avatar beat Vaatu AT HIS STRONGEST bcus he had *YEAR'S* of causing chaos around the world collecting strength while Wan was mastering the elements and Raava severely weakened. As we know he won.
2) Yang Chen the Air Avatar before Aang. Her first mission as the Avatar was fighting a powerful Spirit General Old Iron for attacking people and she was going Blow for Blow on her own NO Help. Again her 1ST Mission as Avatar and it was a draw. Aang also fought him and won but with help (both of these events were in the Avatar comics).
3) The Main Man himself Kuruk the water Avatar before Korra. Kuruk's real story is revealed in the Kyoshi Novels and we learn he wasn't lazy at all but one of the best Avatars to date. His story is long but to make it short Kuruk was actually out here Hunting and KILLING Spirits Permanently...but for good reason. He fought a Spirit named Father Glow Worm that had powers to rip open portals to the spirit world On Command letting spirits come through attacking and killing people bcus they were angry at Yang Chen for only siding with the humans. Father Glow Worm arguably is the 2nd strongest Spirit under Vaatu (at his strongest). Kuruk fought Father Glow Worm and almsot killed him but permanently weakened him so that he could never rip open portals for spirits to pass through and harm people again. There fight was so chaotic that it left a permanent pit in the earth that was still there in Aang's and Korra's time. If I'm remembering it right the width was the size of a Mountain amd almost as deep. He was so feared by the Spirits they literally called him their version of the Boogieman. He's also the reason by Koh the Face Stealer was hiding in th that tree when Aang first met him. Remember that woman's face Koh stole and showed Aang, that was the face of Kuruk's wife and when that happened Kuruk hunted Koh down. That's who Koh was talking about when he said one of Aang's past lives tried to slay him, he was talking about Kuruk. While Kuruk is currently in the spirit world he's STILL Hunting Koh to kill him for what he did. Kuruk is what Korra was trying to be and aspires to be in her story but 100x better. Kuruk's story is legitimately 100x more tragic than what Korra or any other Avatar we know of in detail went through to date.
Hot take: Korra has stronger villians and didnt use avatar state as a cruch the way Aang did. Also thinking that stopping Ozai was a greater feat than restoring balance between spirit/human worlds, you're bias. Also if you don't think that Korra's timeline was harder than Aang, you're forgetting that the sub bending became main stream.
The only villain that can even remotely hold up to ozai would be unavatu. Kuviras mech is not her own power and the red lotus get solod by Aang, ntm kora never actually beat a single one of her enemies she had help for each one. Lastly ozai had proven he was willing to wipe out an entire race of benders out. With sozens comet he would’ve killed all earth and water benders. And if you believe that isn’t an equal fix to defeating unavatu aang saved the moon spirit as well and restored air benders through having kids.
She didn’t restore the balance. She unbalanced everything. Now we got no face running around in the human world. The biased one is you
@@audriclloyd8947
So we’re juts not giving villains their tools now? You’re so simple minded.
Amon folds him
Unavaatu folds him
Red Lotus fold him
Kuvira folds him (mech go brrr)
Ozai wasn’t all that strong . He could have been killed by Zuko, Aang and Iroh but Zuko and Aang chose not to.
@ Amon is arguable comet ozai could literally cook him from a distance and while Amon could blood bend his water bending had literally only been shown once.
If you want to give kuvira her mech give ozai the comet and his army of air ships see how well she stacks up.
If ozai fought unolocke he would’ve never gotten the chance to fuse with vatu
The red lotus as a group probably could take down ozai, however each member 1v1 is cooked.
Also iroh LITERALLY says he can’t beat ozai, and Zuko lost to a nonstable Azula who’s is leagues weaker than ozai. Everything you said was either wrong or can’t be proven. Try again.
@@audriclloyd8947
You can blood bend from a distance too. And Ozai doesn't know about blood bending so he's going to come in for the kill and it'll be over.
Kuvira wipes the army, her mech could cut in half a whole section of the city and destroy more advanced battle ships like they were nothing and it's impenetrable and unbreakable. You need plasma to cut through it and no one in the show's fire is hot enough (even Azula's isn't hot enough). So she stack up very well to large slow moving targets like airships.
Thats not the point we're not putting Ozai in Korra's position and are having him fight who Korra fought. How would he do against Unalaq, you didn't make a comment?
Korra fought 3 Red lotus so Ozai would have to 1v3 them and he would be folded. Remember, Zuko said ALONE they can take down anyone but 3 of them FOLD Ozai like a lawn chair.
Zuko would kill Ozai with redirection but chose not to because that is not his destiny. Iron didn't say that, you're lying. Show me when he said that, since you like evidence so much? He would also redirect lighting and kill him. He's just isn't sure if its possible and that its not the right way to end the war.
You really flopped girl. How do I know ATLA better than you yet you defend it so vehemently.
As Korra trained to become the Avatar, the world thought they no longer needed one - but they forgot thousands of years of the Avatar tradition preceded her before such a question was ever seriously considered. That proves the huge impact Aang made in a single generation as the Avatar. He brought the world forward so much they forgot how bad it was without him around.
Just think, the oldest living people were born at a time when the Avatar had been gone for 100 years and the world had plummeted into chaos with the Fire Nation running amok and spirits out of balance. People have short memories..
8:49 I guess we just gotta act like Azula didn’t almost kill him in the drill fight ,Ozai didn’t whopper him until he used avatar state!? I can go on my brotha
she screwed over big time A LOT, is rude to everyone, being a smartass every book, getting her ass handed to her every major fight but never learns anything, deletes a whole line of avatars, and everything is forgiven just because she kissed a girl and liked it.
THIS
Lmfao aang was gone for 100 years and the avatar cycle was believed to be erased, they search for 100 of years and the atla veese was way more old school, so when they see a avatar that hasn't been revealed for 100 years yes that gives you more mystic
I disagree with all your takes on LOK. Im not going into detail because I've constantly debated with people with the same (flawed) logic that you have about the show,characters,plot,themes, and etc.
Imo LOK>ATLA
Korra wasnt a bad character at all. Its funny how AT FIRST alot of the haters called her a MARY SUE and now its because she is weak and lost alot of her fights, which one is it?
If Aang at her age or his 12yo self fough korra's enemies who were ruthless(even more so than Aang's villians) Aang would've got swept and packed out. You got to understand Korra was still a teenager learning the ropes of being an Avatar. Are we just going to forget all the times Aang was clueless, made mistakes, and being too weak(internally) to get things done?
I can go on and on but im not. I respectfully disagree.
Aang couldnt have beaten Kuvira like that without struggling. Aang was still not a master earth bender. Also korra was poisoned physically and mentally after the evenys of Zaheer and she was strugglimg internally and that handicapped her abilities greatly. What happened with Korra losing all the past avatars wasnt her fault. Dark Unulaq pulled a fast one and immediately fought dirty and ripped out the past avatars by ripping out Raava from Korra during mid battle once korra had the upperhand.
Im not going to listen to another sweaty rant of people picking and choosing on what actually happened in the show and over exaggerating the events that took place and nitpick. Ive heard arguments like yours from countless Korra haters. I'm good. If we're going to be honest Aang fucked up just as much as korra if not more because he neglected his responsibilities to be Avatar and saved the world from oppressive tyranny rule from the fire nation. If it wasnt for katara and sokka finding him and convincing that there world was worth fighting for instead of runninv away and being trapped in a block of ice 🧊 deep underwater not only would aang have died in the process but Earth would've been subjugated to the Fire Nation rule. Its many many examples/flaws i can point out about Aang's character throughout the show. I don't care about the books before ppl chime in when Aang became wiser and older im specifically only talking about the show. Korra been through way worse than Aang and still tried to do the right thing. Aang was so much of a coward he pretty much said yall fend for yall selves im scared and its too much of a responsibility for me.
I’m not going in detail but your but hurt
86 comments on one video is crazy, get a life bro.
The key difference between Aang and Korra is that Aang thought of himself as "just a kid" while Korra's lame ass gassed herself up despite being soft cause the adults treated her like a rambunctious princess. They just tried to damn hard to make the villains as "big and bad" as possible to justify making a whole season centered around a single person each time. It's the failure of not being given the respect the deserved to just set up a proper 4 season show but instead being told they had 1 season each time. Granted, regardless of what they did I would probably still have been a little dissatisfied with a story where the Avatar literally right after Aang ALSO faced a world changing/ending threat. Like, I'd rather a story about a chill Avatar tbh. Wait a couple cycles for the population to realistically rebuild and people to forget there was an actual 100 yr war for things to go to shit.
4:57
Tony be for real, you know Amon would fold Ozai like paper.
5:34
I would say creating a new portal is the biggest feat we've ever seen. Only powerful spirts like Father Glowworm and Vaatu have been able to do that.
5:42
Aang was losing to Ozai and got saved by the avatar state but I see what you mean.
6:56
Korra was very conned to Raava more so than Aang and she still got bodied. She beat Vaatu but not Unalaq+ Vaatu. And she had her past lives meaning even Aang couldn't have beat him either since he was fighting too.
7:10
Not true. Aang never harmed a spirit but you know who did. Korra with what she learned from Unalaq.
8:39
Didn't Aang get cooked by Azula though? So how is there an argument to be made that Korra could beat Azula if Azula> Aang > Korra?
Also why do you leave the context of those fights out? She fought Toph with mercury poison in her and PTSD and after not training for months. She fought Kuvira with the same lack of training and PTSD and would have won if the PTSD visions didn't kick in. Why don't you acknowledge that?
8:56 Why give Aang context of being surprise attacked but not Korra of her handicaps?
9:07 Aang has actually NEVER BEATEN AZULA. He always either loses or gets saved.
9:41
That literally can't be true because everything Kyoshi can do, Aang can do with AS.
11:09
Why do you just care about who wins what in fights though? Being avatar isn't just about winning fights. Maybe you don't think Korra is a good avatar because you think that being Avatar is about fighting since thats how ATLA solved its main issue. Does being beat up but still coming out on top and stopping 10,000 years of darkness, global anarchy, brought back air benders and spirits make you a bad avatar? What is the avatar about? Think about that Tony and I realize that you would see Korra tenure differently.
Most of your points come down to who wins fights and I think thats a very shallow way of viewing shows. You like Aang and he died does that make him a bad Avatar and character, no. So why does it make Korra a bad Avatar or character? The criticism you give TLOK are present in ATLA like losing fights yet you wont make them against ATLA or even defend ATLA. Why not TLOK? I think there's a hidden reason you don't want to confront about why you don't like TLOK (and no it's not misogyny 😒). Reflect on what that might be.
Even Aang would be SO PROUD OF KORRA. I hope you can take what I said earnestly and reflect on my words.
Korra does not suck. She did what Aang wished he could have done for the world and was a more than worthy successor. Do you really think all the things she achieved above are worth nothing and are from a bad avatar?
I just recently finished Korra because I was low key hating it since I heard such bad things about it but I think it’s a pretty good show. I think people get too caught up in their personal feelings when it comes to comparing the show to the original but my biggest complaint was mostly about the gang not being as cool or close compared to aang’s. They both went through different problems and overcame things in different ways, I really enjoyed a lot of the ideas and concepts in Korra.
I can respect that 💯. At least you not being a hater and being a blind follower. You came to your own conclusion that it was a pretty good show despite the haters always trying to trash and talk down on it.
1st season fire the rest kinda ass and korra personality is atrocious
I didn't like any of the main 4 and after 4 seasons thats a real big failing of the show. Bolin was alright from the last season, Asami had some moments through out, Korra and Makko were the most insufferable people put to animation.
@@xavmanisdabestest I don't understand why korra is so hated by the fanbase. I honestly don't get it. Makko was good but pretty much a background character I'm not gonna lie but he also had his moments. The only thing I agree the og has better than korra is the team work and team avatar was more interesting and more fleshed out. Everything else I disagree with the hate that show gets.
@@xavmanisdabestest I really only LIKE bolin out of the main 4 as well, but I think the world building and side characters are enough for me to thoroughly enjoy the show. Although I didn’t really like Korra I loved how her and Tenzin got a closer bond overtime, I loved Lin, Su and Toph‘s story. I loved the Airbender coming back, etc. a lot of stuff happened in Korra that I really loved and appreciated even though I wished our main characters were a bit more interesting. There’s also a lot to hate and dislike though so I understand where people would be coming from
9:30 - 10:00 that Man in the back got some AGREGIOUS Hot Takes. Aang is not beating Kyoshi and he's not beating Yang Chen either.
Ths is the strongest to weakest Main Avatars undebatable but you can try and find out.
1) Kyoshi
2) Kuruk
3) Yang Chen
4) Aang
5) Roku
6) Korra
How can you be sooooooo wrong. I’ll say this once. EACH. SUCCEEDING. AVATAR. GETS. THE. KNOWLEDGE. SKILLS. AND. POWER. of the previous avatars. It is QUITE a win con.
I’m going to try to not cause a fight by arguing Korra over all of them because she doesn’t have past lives, so to save arguments I’m not going to put her on the list.
The real list (if you actually pay attention to lore):
1.Aang
2.Roku
3.Kyoshi
4.Kuruk
5.Yangchen
Argue whoever you want for their base forms.
@@deolu1133 I'm not wrong under any circumstances. You are right on the fact each succeeding Avatar gets the knowledge, skills and to a degree power (which I can easily explain) but that's STRICTLY in the Avatar State not them Passively and even then there's still no guarantee that you can use all their abilities.
Prime Examples being Kyoshi was the first Avatar to do Glass Bending bcus of how strong her Earth Bending was without the Avatar State. Since her we have not seen another Avatar or regular Bender get anywhere near close to Bending straight up Glass. Another example is the fact AANG had to GIVE Korra her bending back and teach Korra how to use Energy Bending. Not to mention Aang learned how to redirect Lightning...why doesn't Korra also have those skills if simply being the Avatar means you have all the skills and abilities of your predecessors...bcus that's not how it works. These are 3 clear cut examples that just bcus your the Avatar doesn't mean OFF RIP you're overall stronger and better than the previous Avatars let alone that you get 100% all their skills. Even the creators said that if Aang and Korra fought Aang would win 9/10 bcus of how he fights. Completely disproving your argument on the rankings you gave them (especially since you left Korra off the list).
Now when it comes to the Avatars on the scaling I gave them it was off the Feats they performed, if they had Help and who they are as Characters.
1st) Kyoshi for a variety of reasons. No other Avatar has ever had any 1 specific bending mentioned to be as powerful as the rest to the point it created a new form of bending that hasn't been seen since. She's also the only Avatar to have lived a Natural Life Span of 230 making her the Avatar with the longest active Career in the verse. Let's say Avatars natural live up to 60 - 80 years old on average, that's still 150 - 170 years worth of Experience and still being a Threat. That's 10 generations of people not trying to mess with you. Kyoshi was also known for being brutal. If she had to kill you it was what it was and she did not care at all. If you need to be packed up she sent you on a Express Trip 1st class.
2nd) Kuruk though he is the youngest Avatars that died and doesn't have the experience like the others do he still proved to be a problem. Like Kyoshi his strength was also renowned. Kuruk fought the 2nd Strongest Spirit in the verse (under Vaatu during Avatar Wan's time) Father Glow Worm who had the ability to open/rip open portals connecting the physical and spiritual worlds at will no matter where he was. Bcus of him Spirits were attacking and killing people bcus of their anger at Yang Chen for only ever caring about the Humans when she's supposed to be the balance for Both. Kuruk had to literally go out and KILL blood thirsty Spirit's bcus of the chaos they were causing. While doing so his own personal Soul was being corrupted and making him go insane but by bit for every Spirit he Killed. But despite all that he still persevered and managed to beat Father Glow Worm in a Chaotic battle that left permanent marks in the Earth that's still there in Korra's time. All this while the World thought he was lazy and a good for nothing (i didn't go into full detail as his story is very long and tragic). He also was a savage killer and brutal.
3rd) Yang Chen was literally renowned for being the female version of Buddha. Her first mission as the Avatar was fighting a powerful Spirit known as General Old Iron for attacking the humans bcus he believed they got rid of the Spirit that he Loved. Going blow for blow with him ultimately it ended up as a draw as other's informed him that said Spirit was fine and they made a treaty with him. The very Orb of all Elements Aang used on Ozai Yang Chen did in that fight with General Old Iron and she took no known forms of Damage in that fight. She was also known for having lethal Air bending moves that she used to kill enemies with. However she favored Humans moreso than being a balance for both Spirits and Humans causing Kuruk to clean up her mess while choosing to keep her image clean out of kindness.
4th) Aang as we all know is very powerful and the youngest Avatar we know of to Master a full element before even being told was the Avatar. Almost Mastered all the elements by the time he fought Ozai (Toph said herself his Earth Bending still needs work). He has done a great deal but he's very pacifistic and will try to do anything he can to not kill his opponents as he treasures all life ergo why he's a vegetarian. However even in the comics it shows Aang's anger still gets the better of him and needs Katara by his side to calm him down.
5th) Roku isn't by any means weak as even as a Old Man he was mostly winning against a Super Volcano but he still needed help in the end. Roku doesn't have any real feats to go off of to list him appropriately but we do know he wasn't someone to mess with and didn't even need the Avatar State to beat Fire Lord Sozin. He even told Sozin to his face his he so much as gets out of line he would kill him. But however Roku's kindness got the better of him in the end and caused a huge problem for Aang to the point Air Nomads almost went completely extinct as a whole.
6th) Korra...self explanatory as to why she's last. Took 3.5 Books just for her to pull her weight as an Avatar. Constantly getting dog washed, her Team is moreso the Avatar than her, got her parents arrested and almost executed, turned on Tenzin and her Dad at the drop of a dime, her team overall has to make openings for her to win, plot armor like crazy, a literal mary sue but pathetic and almost got killed within the first Book bcus she wanted to prove she wasn't scared of Amon. She causes half the amount of problems that are actually there and to top it off in the first comic all that development she got in the last book basically got retconned bcus it's like she learned nothing after all she's been through.
This is the tier list strongest to weakest of the Main Avatar's. You Fucked Around and Found Out...that you were Absurdly Wrong
Korra had to deal with way crazier shit than Aang, like the first villain was a blood bender and bro could just take mfs bending away. Aang on the other hand while I do admit having to master all four elements within a years time is crazy especially at 12, the craziest shit he was dealing with was a sozin comet boosted Ozai who was at most a super formidable fire bender and a decent lightning bender. As we see in Korra firebenders are all just casually lightning bending, as time progresses so does the natural ability to bend and I feel like Korra is just naturally stronger but less proficient in her mastery of the elements compared to Aang. I also believe that Korra is just more adept in using the avatar state compared to Aang due to her constantly using it in her fights, whereas Aang really only used the avatar state in niche circumstances like the kyoshi thing or when he’s really backed into a corner, which is in part due to him being more able to rely on his bending skills/creativity. Korra is more combat adept and that makes her an aggressive brawler type of fighter but lessens her unpredictability. Personally I feel like Aang vs Korra is going to be close but Aang lacks the natural progression and control over the avatar state to give him that extra edge to win the fight. Idk tho 🤷🏾♂️
Ain't no way you said Korra went through crazier shit than Aang. Did you forget my guy survived a massacre, frozed himself to wake into an 100 year war, something he had to stop HIMSELF. While doing so, he was constantly hunted, lost his connection to the spirit world, went on a journey to reconnect to the spirit world, learned how to REMOVE bending in order to stop the most powerful fire bender WHILE he was boosted by the comet WITHOUT killing. "like the first villain was a blood bender and bro could just take mfs bending away" So the old lady who originally showed Katara blood bending wasn't a threat? You really down played his whole experience and Sozen deserves some respect on his name, not even Korra would've been able to deal with that man.
@@samuraiprime5044 I think it's more accurate to say that he survived genocide. That said, Korra went through much of the same. She was hunted by the Equalists, the Earth Kingdom, and the Red Lotus; she also lost her connection to her Avatar Spirit, and also went on a journey to reconnect to that spirit (while battling intense PTSD). I'd also like to point out that, unlike Aang who needed La's help to bend and pilot the water titan, Korra was able to project her spirit with energybending without the Avatar state or the help of a spirit. She-like Aang-also had quite a large impact on their world, opening the portals to the Spirit world resulting in a rebirth of the Air Nation, and also created a brand new portal with her energybending. And naw, Hama didn't have anything on Yakone-the actual problematic bloodbender that Aang fought. Hama could only bloodbend on a full moon. Yakone (Tarrlok, and Amon) could all bloodbend at any time. Yakone and Amon also practiced Psychic bloodbending, and could control multiple bodies without so much as moving.
I'm a Korra Stan, but I don't know that I agree. I guess it would depend on if we're talking kid Aang or papa Aaang. I could see her taking kid Aaang, but I'm certain papa Aaang smokes her. Either way he has the benefit of a functioning Avatar Cycle, so he gets the strength buff and the past lives. Korra doesn't have that anymore-she's just working with the power boost.
@@trumps_toupee I agree when it comes to older Aang, I consider him in his prime at that age or at least the peak of his abilities and we haven’t seen korra at that age and what her development would look like so I was comparing kid Aang and korra
@@trumps_toupee exactly my point thank you
The reveal that zukos great grandfathers were sozen and the avatar before aang is genuinely on par with how vegetas sacrifice hits
Tony screeching "YOU BURNED MY SISTER." took me tf out
I feel like it went with the times, as things became more advanced speed and efficiency was prioritized more. This includes bending so in an attempt to make bending more rapid they unintentionally sacrificed it's power. The bending games are a good example people were fighting with rock disks and water pools in Korra. Whereas in Aang's time people were changing the geography of places, causing high tides, turning fricking rain into water prisons, making fires big enough to destroy forests and ish. The scale of battle was just different being a bender ment you were a force of nature if you really perfected your craft. But the masters in Korra were still working on a smaller scale in comparison to masters of the war times. This could also be because fixing infrastructure was also more expensive. Korra is from a weaker generation and her arrogance hindered her because she compared herself to the people around her despite the fact that she knew she could measure herself against past Avatars. She kept getting rocked because she always thought she was the best by default. Valuing her gift more so than the skills needed to grow said gift. She compensated for her lack of skill by using the Avatar state as a power boost rather than the trump card it was. When Aang did it armies would flee but people didn't really care about Korra's one because she used it so frequently. Making it seem much weaker even after she was warned about the risks. She slipped up and lost the whole chain of Avatars because she couldn't take the L for her clear moments of weakness. The Avatar is respected because of who the past Avatars were, Korra thought being the Avatar in itself was reason enough for everyone to respect her. It's that mindset that lead to people losing respect for the Avatar after crossing paths with her. That said she is probably one of the most talented at accessing the Avatar's power. But because of that access she never really learnt how to stand on her own outside of being the Avatar.
Well said.
You described it well! Her being arrogant & ignorant like the last water avatar was the problem. She didn’t have respect for nobody not even her family not even her past lives =the past avatar. Simeon in the comments called her the suburban avatar 😂 she just didn’t care for the peoples voice, that’s why I think the last version should have been Amon and the non-bender army. Because through all the show Amon what’s the most reasonable person with the a group of the most reasonable about situation. It’s like Cora was always only fighting for the upper class which was irritating and I think the writer did a terrible job by trying to sell her to ask as a good advertise and that she successful while the whole writing is just telling us that she is failing long term. If they would have written her intentionally as a bad avatar, how they did with Kuruk, it would been an amazing story, so it was lost potential
I disagree there are many things that show Korras avatar spirit growth. In season 4 when she learned she can’t always be there as an avatar and going thru a whole journey. Also the last episode when she talked to kuvira like a human. The creators purposely made korra talk to kuvira instead to beating her up to show her growth. Also BIG POINT - in season 2 Korra achieved Atman which is confirmed by the creators because that is how they viewed Korras cosmic self. Atman is a Hindu philosophy of basically connecting to your inner most self. “Inner most essence of the individual”. This is also fortified again when Tenzin tells korra to connect to her inner most self, what makes korra…korra.
Korras progress from S1-S2 was her avatar spirit and how she viewed herself. Korra can stand outside being the avatar it was kinda the point of cosmic korra.
Everybody acting like Aang disappearance for 100 years wasn't a problem 😂💔
With ALL DUE RESPECT (bc I do love Tony and your skits man, mad funny G ) this is such a one-dimensional, based fan take. Like from the jump I knew exactly what Tony would say, and it’s just a total lack of understanding what the series and characters were about.
First off, comparing Korea with Aang is crazy considering THEYRE THE SAME PERSON. The same person with two different journeys. Korra learns throughout the series that she can’t live up to Aang’s legacy, she can only build her own.
Second, Korra’s villains all challenge her in unique ways that fight against what it means to be an Avatar in a world that DOESNT NEED AN AVATAR. People have technology now and have risen above the need for a constant savior. She isn’t just fighting the next bad guy, she’s fighting against IDEOLOGIES. Her growth is beyond physical strength, it’s about political and spiritual growth.
I could go on, but, (again RESPECTFULLY), if you’re going to judge LOK please make valid points about the story and direction beyond just “wHoS sTrOnGeR?!?” Like cmon
I don’t wanna just sound like a bitter fan, but they are not the same person. I don’t understand why from reincarnation a lot of people mistake it as near immortality. Think back to the Turtle Island from ATLA, the Avatar is essentially a storage unit of a guardian. The only thing that ties the Avatars together is the ability to master all four elements (which is all because of Wan and that jazz) but the Avatars are their own individual with their own wills and beliefs. The avatar state is the amalgamation and the closest thing we get to Avatars “being the same person” but other than that naw dude Aang and Korra couldn’t be more different and just because they hold the same spiritual title doesn’t mean their the same person.
Korra grew up differently she was sheltered but tbh she grew up in the start of m industrialization
my favorite is when Aang told Zhao "I thought youll be better than Zuko!" xD
If you haven't watched blue eye samurai I think you should. Squad wiping 101
Dope af review on avatar! I agree 💯 speaking facts my guy! Legend of Korra 1st season absolute 🔥! The rest not so much I was basically watching it for the fights bc at least that was koo. It was koo to get the back story that started the avatar cycle but of course Korra herself had to ruin it. I loved Zahir bc finally Airbenders was getting some love outside of Aang and Tenzen and to use airbending in a nefarious way how he did, i was loving it. I don't think legend of korra was trash but it was definitely mid at best story wise, action was Dope tho.
Love to see the momentum of your channel growing, i wonder how many subs youll have at the end of the year
If the momentum continues, 100K subs is a solid estimation
Korra did go through some rougher things than Aang lol all he had to worry about was fire lord & zuko ….. Korra had to fight the evil Avatar 😂
Ok the homie in back saying “eh” to Kyoshi should have disqualified his takes on the entire conversation! he’s just playing devils advocate just get a word in. She’s from a tribe of warriors who train harder than anyone! She’s gonna body anybody in ether show.
Tony you bring a genuine smile to my face everyday
Naw Aang giving Korra her powers back was hard
No
@SexAllutusAngelus It's the worst piece of garbage I've ever seen
@SexAllutusAngelusI mean they are the same person 😂
When Zuko finds out he was related to Aang.
*Kendrick voice*
I can tell you was conflicted 😂😂😂
Kyoshi created an island by splitting it off the mainland and pushing it MILES into open sea. We have never experienced a shift that dramatic in recorded history because this normally happens over the course of BILLIONS of years. The tsunamis alone would cause destruction unlike anything we’ve ever seen. All coastal/island countries would be facing an extinction event.
She is so underrated by the majority of fans
I’m more impressed in him remembering all the names of all the characters, I was still trying to remember the evil bald dude from season 3 of Korra 😂
I liked the ideas in Korra but she sucked. Like integrating the different bending to make an international sport like soccer (but violent), countries unifying to share resources and using bending for the mass production of goods pretty much catapulting them into the Industrial Revolution. They seemed like logical next steps given where the world was but they made her and her crew hard to root for
I loved LoK, I don’t think her being a good avatar or not diminishes the show but everyone has opinions
Folks will say you hate women if you criticize Korra while our favorite characters are Azula, Toph, and Kyoshi😂😂😂 Love Season 3 & 1 top to bottom, 2 was a mess, 4 whiffed on its potential
Aang was also holding back against ozai if you watch the fight he’s fighting very defensively vs ozai who was fighting very offensively and before the fight Aang wasn’t even trying to kill ozai he was trying to find every way not to have to fight him
"I would've blood bended him into a god damned quiche!" I'm crying 😂
