I can't believe the suspicious, slanderous way in which you view our beloved Great Uniter. The fact that she recruited a troop of bandits shortly before a very similar-looking group of bandits stole the food supplies is nothing but a total coincidence. Also her fiancee is Baatar Jr. , Suyin's oldest son, so he isn't the emo artist, or either of the twins. We only saw him very briefly during the previous Season, when he was hanging around with his dad (Baatar Sr.) and working on all their crazy invention stuff.
Amon was not seeking revenge for his dad. In his own twisted way, after being tortured by his father, he believed that bending truly a source of many of the worlds problems. It just so happens that along the way it gets distorted.
Revenge was definitely a factor. His father abused him and he began to fall into the belief that bending itself was evil and trying to get revenge on the establishment, which was largely dominated by benders.
Flame Fusion that’s not how I see it. For revenge to be a factor a bender would have had to do something to him for him to want revenge. That is the literal definition of revenge. Amon truly believed that benders were the root of evil in the world and felt that he was responsible for getting rid of them. It sounds dark but similar to hitler
"Constant news of an escalating war will throw the citizens of Ba Sing Se into a state of panic. Our economy would be ruined. Our peaceful way of life, our traditions would disappear. In silencing talk of conflict, Ba Sing Se remains a peaceful, orderly utopia. The last one on Earth." - And that's exactly what ended up happening. LONG FENG WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG!
blarf mcscarf, you're right, but what Long Feng actually meant, though not directly stated, was that order and control (e.g. through brainwashing) kept the "utopia" alive.The earth queen achieved order in another, more openly cruel way but it was order. When it was gone, everything began to change, thrown into chaos essentially. Keep in mind that their "way of life" and traditions didn't evolve out of freedom and liberty but out of control and dictatorship. Long Feng was right, from his perspective. But what he understood as a way of life and as Ba Sing Se's traditions was inherently wrong, unfair and cruel. In the end, Zaheer was right to dispose of the earth queen. Yes, it left a power vacuum and threw the earth kingdom into disarray and chaos but out of it evolved freedom and democracy when Wu abolished the monarchy altogether at the end of season 4. "Sometimes before we can usher in the new, the old must be put to rest."
Kuvira was name dropped last season. You guys even had a discussion about why they didn't do anything with her when she was named and shown several times. Check your notes!
@@ShadowDuty7 you get that that means they know right? like...if they mention it IN the video...then posting a comment on the video once it's published isn't telling them anything they didn't figure out... :')
I love the fact that we have a vilain for each bending...Ozai fire, Amon and Unaluk water, Zaher Air...Kuvira earth...It shows that vilains can come from anywhere...
Kuvira is voiced by Zelda Williams and was the Zaofu security guard from last season. Remember when she asked to go with the others to save Korra and the airbenders and Su told her to stay? Yeah, what she *really* meant was "No Kuvira, next season" :P Bryke couldn't put this in, but Asami was the one to design and make the wingsuits. Kai's VA is still the same VA! He just hit puberty lol. Korra not even acknowledging her Avatar identity already says a lot. I mean, she's usually so proud and outspoken about it. Now it feels like she's Aang, not wanting anything to do with being the Avatar.
Mr. Al Long passed beyond trauma?? Just because 3 years passed doesn't mean she got over it already. That's not how trauma works. For a lot of people, it can stay with you forever. She was physically and psychologically tortured to the point she almost died. She ended up heavily depressed, broken, and wheelchair-bound. I don't blame her for "feeling sorry for herself" or for not even acknowledging the fact she's the Avatar when people bring it up. She's dealing with a lot. That's being human. Also, when Korra was first introduced to us, what was the first thing she said? She said "I'm the Avatar, and you gotta deal with it!!" IMO she never really understood the weight of those words until the S3 finale happened. Once she did, she finally broke, and now she needs to really address the issues that has always been plaguing her in order to find balance within herself again. For the entirety of the show, I think that is what Korra's story was really about. To understand what it really means to be the Avatar. With Aang, he understood what being the Avatar meant but he wasn't ready to accept that.
I usually don't share this with people, but since I don't really know you, I'm just going to say that I too have gone through some trauma of my own in my life. So when I said what I said, it came from my own experience. I didn't know it was like that for you as well, so I didn't mean to offend. I'm just saying that everyone handles trauma differently and how Korra handled hers was no different. Her trauma was eventually more mental and overcoming the mental aspect is always the hardest, and that's what I saw with Korra. For us two, just because we both eventually got through ours doesn't mean it'll be the same for other people. Some people completely break and never come back from it, some bounce back real quick or eventually down the line, and some just end it. What Korra went through was more than anyone her age would ever go through and it's understandable that she's still dealing with it. I also agree she could've accepted more help around her when it was offered, but we also have to keep in mind that for years now, since nothing's worked for her to overcome her mental block, she would naturally (and in-character might I add) want to try and figure things out on her own. She's stubborn like that and I don't know about your experience, but from mine, I understand that kind of mentality very well. The mindset of "Nobody can help me, I need to do this on my own. This is my problem and my problem alone". It took me awhile to get my head out of my ass and realize that I was being selfish in a way and hurting those around me. That there is no shame in letting others help me, even when I felt ashamed and vulnerable. Yes, the Korra at the start of S4 may not be the same Korra at the end of S3, but IT IS still a Korra that is struggling to deal with the aftermath of everything that Zaheer did. What she went through really affected her, and it's not easy trying to pull her life together again. In a lot of ways, I appreciated that Bryke wanted to address this side of trauma because there are different sides and experiences when it comes to people and trauma. And honestly, knowing who and the type of person Korra is, it wasn't going to be easy from the start for her and they accurately depicted that imo.
Mr. Al I found her behavior understandable though, considering everything that has been established about her character thus far. It's not that she still decided to act this way despite how far her recovery has come. It's because a part of her is really having trouble reconciling all the horrible things that happened to her because of Zaheer (as well as the culmination of the other horrible things in the past, but it's mainly Zaheer since he's the one out of the others so far to really hurt her like this). She may have recovered to the point where she is no longer the wheelchair Korra, but it's still obviously clear that what Zaheer did still haunts her (it also brought back a lot of old fears and insecurities as well). Because of this, it holds her back from truly moving forward. To being the Avatar again, the thing that is most important to her. And when she can't move forward, she finds herself stuck and frustrated as a result. She actually tries facing it, but there's a part of her that doesn't want to face it, and this is pointed out later by ya know. This is why I don't feel she's really moved past the stage of mental trauma. If she truly did move past it, she wouldn't still be so heavily affected like this. What that tells me is that the scars leftover are still fresh. It's a huge struggle that she needs to overcome and it takes awhile (mainly because she's never been too good when it comes to handling personal issues in regards to herself), but she does eventually get there. I too respect your opinion, but I'm still pretty much at a disagreement with your views in this. I can understand what you're saying and where you're coming from to an extent, but I don't see it the same way. I am glad we can be civil about this though.
What I learned over the years and from some classes I've taken is that just because you share a common thing with someone doesn't mean it's the same thing. There is no *single* lived experience when it comes to this. What you go through is your own experience and different to that of others. You can share and even compare those experiences, but in no way are they the same. That also means how you handle it is going to be different as well.
Talisguy for Star Wars? I mean, what else would you call it? Why else would Disney buy it for like 6 billion dollars. It's just to make money. The prequels sucked ass but at least George was genuinely trying to tell a story he felt needed to be told.
Talisguy they're better sure but I still hated rogue one. The characters were really non existent who were just there to make the audience feel sad when they died. The story doesn't fit with what we know from a new hope either. The force awakens I wasn't a huge fan of. I hated the character Rey who could do basically anything because she was a chick. I didn't like the modern humor from it either. Felt out of place with the established tone of the Star Wars universe.
Kuvira is engaged to Baatar Jr. and he is Suyin's oldest son, he was seen hanging around with the dad and both of them are inventors. The emo artist son and the twins are still around as well. Kuvira briefly brought up the betrayal when talking with Opal this episode,she said things got difficult with their family when Baatar and herself left Zaofu.
The beginning of the end. Such a bitter sweet time. You guys are on the last book of the franchise(aware of the comics, don't worry). I'll have to savour these last 12 episodes.
Jamaal Ellison, no. He died of natural causes. Katara mentioned that at some point in Book 1 I think. That was just a photo of him traveling the world I guess.
Andres ACOSTA Is that canon or did you just made it up? Because I always found it weird that Aang, who lead a healthy life as a monk, died at the age of 66.
This season is just so fantastic. I love the animation and just the character and WORLD development. I think this season truly is the first time the avatar world has a noticeable development. Vines are all over republic city and new tech is development etc. Korra in this season finally just makes sense ( so to speak), what I'm trying to say is that this book much like avatar season 3 finally shows a realization of everything.
I know I’m 2 years late on this ,but that’s what I said! I don’t know why they seem to think that Amon was out for revenge. He felt he was bettering the world by ridding it of benders and felt he was the only one who could do that
korra's pain goes beyond just physical. especially ever since the finale, when everyone celebrated jinora's tattoos, she was the only one crying. s4 korra ain't so confident as s1 korra. edit: i'm highkey in love with korra, just saying so don't come for her lmao. majority of the people that hate her don't pay attention to or understand her story.
Mr. Al You know, I hope you'll never have to suffer from PTSD, depression and other mental issues. Because they are horrible demons and not just the result of "feeling sorry for oneself". A bit more compassion and social intelligence would help you a lot.
That's because Korra was raised as the Avatar in a compound and could never leave. Her whole identity revolves around being the Avatar, so you take that away and she is dead on the inside. It's why she cried last season cause she felt she wasn't needed anymore, on top of not being able to use her legs. It;s like when a prince is raised to be a king and told he is destined for great things and shoulder the country only to find out the the decides to have a senate rule or someone else and the prince kills him and takes the throne anyway, because he felt he deserved it or his right. It's actually common in many works. Look at Dr. Strange who built a career and identity around being a great surgeon had his hands severely damaged. That's also why some people speculate that after she had her bending removed from Amon in the first season that she contemplated suicide at that cliff edge.
remember the end of 3x12 "enter the void"? tonrak thanked her she saved his life, and she responded "you can call me... Kuvira" well here you go, I love season four and Kuvira
Actually, we see in Book 3 episode 2 a map that shows the United Republic's territory which is pretty much the entire west coast of the Earth Kingdom (which makes sense given the oldest Fire Nation colonies were established there). It's possible that the plane bandits were also ex-military given that everything fell apart after Zaheer assassinated the Earth Queen, since we saw the palace guard joining in with the looters A few of the little details I like in this episode is that we're able to see all the different ranks and types of soldiers Kuvira has in her army. In the contract, it's mentioned that Kuvira is the internationally recognized provisional leader of the EK. Also, the symbol in the ring Korra's fighting in is from Earth Rumble back from AtLA
The creation of Republic City is explained in the Last Airbender graphic novels. Republic City isn't just a city it's the United Republic of Nations basically. It's like if the UN in our world had a city and small amount of land to control.
I love Korra this season. All the trauma from the past seasons finally built up, and combined with the residual effects of mercury poisoning, she finally broke. But then she is able to mature and rebuild herself and finally come into her own.
In the comics Zuko handed all the Fire Nation colonies back to the Earth Kingdom and calling the Fire Nation citizens back home. But as they ran into older colonies there was more resistance. The Fire Nation families had lived there for generations and didn't want to be moved to a land they didn't know, and over the centuries the Fire Nation colonists and Earth Kingdom natives had intermingled. Even though the Fire Nation were "higher class" then the Earth Kingdom, they still made friends and even married. The governor of one of the colonies had married an Earth Kingdom citizen and had a daughter who could Earthbend, but identified as a Fire Nation citizen as well as an Earth Kingdom. In the end Zuko decided to let them stay and together with Aang they turned it into what is now Republic City.
Kuvira's forces are pretty similar to Benito Mussolini's regime, the leader of pre-WW2 Italy. Italy was scattered into various provinces where bandits ran rampant and the nation was collapsing follwing WW1. Using extremely brutal and deadly tactics, he forced unification among the disparate provinces, replacing chaos with tyrannical order.
Shit...this is it. The beginning of the end. I gotta say I loved watching you guys react to the avatar series. I feel it doesn’t have a big enough fan base to be talked about enough which sucks, but it’s always nice to watch people react to it and to actually enjoy all of it.
Just in case anybody missed their update. Every first Episode to every season is full length on their website. You can watch this full length if you want.
I just finished watching all of your Reactions to LoK and love all of it Book 3 and 4 are the best you'll be surprised throughout this one and I can't wait to see how you react towards the end of it
I think Eric's twisting Amon in his memory a bit. His motivation wasn't revenge for his father or anything like that. He truly believed that benders were a horrible force, something instilled in him by his abusive father. He went about it in a very hypocritical way, but it was an "ends justify the means" sort of thing.
I know this a old comment, but I don't think he is twisting his memory, his take on the character is flat-out wrong, and always has been. They say a bunch of stuff that is just incorrect, and are poor interpretations of what the story actualy is about it. And that is coming from someone who is very critical of the narrative choices Bryke and the writes made.
Chill. He's not passing anything off as fact, he just misremembered. They started korra months ago (last year). On top of everything else they watch and do, it's easy to forget sometimes. It's not that big of a deal. :)
This episode title reference “ Long ⏳t⏳i🕰m⏱e⏰ no ⏲ see “ episode 4( The Super Adventure’s Of STATIC 🔋💡✍🏿🗣 SHOCK ) and episode 10 “ It has been months “ season 1 coming soon in 2023 , so hit me on Facebook ! Twitter , TH-cam or even Instagram .
They touch on a key strength of Legend of Korra in this video. Last Airbender was a show about a child finding his way in an unknown world. It's a story of personal growth for the select characters the show follows across all 3 seasons. The villains in LAB outside of Zuko do not really matter and don't have fully developed personalities. It could be argued that Azula has something similar to a character arc, but going from bratty arrogant little sister to deranged crazy chick is trading one thin one-note characterization for another one-note characterization. Legend of Korra is a story about characters with fully developed motivations and beliefs and how those characters try to inflict those beliefs on the rest of their world. Each LOK villain has a goal, a world view, and an ideological stance that they stand by even if they kept that ideology a secret from the public. Korra has her own goals and beliefs (I can save the world!), but every time she tries to act on her beliefs the villains and political figures in the world around her do everything they can to get in her way. Aang's journey was about introducing the audience to a fantasy world. Korra's journey is about standing by your principles and saying "Yes I can!" even as the world around you shouts back "No you can't!" The first 3 seasons are pretty much all about Korra saying "Yes I can!" and being shouted down by her critics. The first 3 to 5 episodes of this season answer the question of what happens when Korra starts to believe "Maybe I can't." and then has to build herself back up from nothing all over again.
SPOILER although they much have already seen it by now and i don't think they read the comments anyway When i come to think that Korra spent 3 whole years still with poison inside her! my god, poor her.
I wonder if Eric is ever going to rewatch LoK. We know he’s seen ATLA 3 times now, but I don’t know if has anywhere near the same enthusiasm for LoK. I mention this because he seems to be kinda misremembering Amon’s character. And that’s really strange, because I remember him gushing about it when they watched it, claiming him to be his favorite villain of the Avatar franchise because his character and motivations were so deep and layered. Hmmph. Well, at any rate, you-know-who is going to lay out all the villains’ basic motivations pretty clearly in a few episodes. I at least hope that at some point, Eric rewatches Amon’s backstory.
This is the last of the franchise so far but some people who worked on this and Avatar made another show called Voltron Legendary Defender and it's great if you're looking for a replacement for this
Asami is largely responsible for republic city adapting to the spirit vines.
Makes me wonder if she invented those
glider suits and Korra's statue
Actually Bryan Konietzko did say in the "art of" book that Asami did design the wingsuits, but they never had time to mention it in the show.
somewhere in this book she said she also helped design/built some of the roads/highways in republic city
Asami for President.
Her father also designed the car. (Hence, the Satomobile) Her company is responsible for a lot of stuff. I think those planes were their design too.
I can't believe the suspicious, slanderous way in which you view our beloved Great Uniter. The fact that she recruited a troop of bandits shortly before a very similar-looking group of bandits stole the food supplies is nothing but a total coincidence.

They best not speak ill of the Great Uniter going forward.
Wolf6120 ALL HAIL THE GREAT UNITER
They're Avatar Universe's equivalent to nazis. All Hail Amon! Bring down the Bender class!
redeagle 1117 Hell nah, Amon and his group are the Avatar equivalent to the Communists. Damn Commies. Better dead than red boi.
Psa: the twins are hot af this season. Just thought it needed to be said.
Also, Kuvira is quite the handsome woman,
Fun Fact: Kuvira is voiced by Robin Williams daughter Zelda Williams
Wow, I didn't knew that.... She's great.
Adventures of Ishkoten ALL HAIL THE GREAT UNITER
No Fucking way Zelda acts!!!
Fun Fact: Babies are not dishwasher safe.
After all these years and I just find out about this now?!
Amon was not seeking revenge for his dad. In his own twisted way, after being tortured by his father, he believed that bending truly a source of many of the worlds problems.

Wolf6120 BRAINWASHING IS GREAT
blarf mcscarf, you're right, but what Long Feng actually meant, though not directly stated, was that order and control (e.g. through brainwashing) kept the "utopia" alive.The earth queen achieved order in another, more openly cruel way but it was order.

In the end, Zaheer was right to dispose of the earth queen. Yes, it left a power vacuum and threw the earth kingdom into disarray and chaos but out of it evolved freedom and democracy when Wu abolished the monarchy altogether at the end of season 4.

The creators themselves said the new Air Nation are basically Jedi, during the audio commentary. Lot of Star Wars parallels in these Avatar shows.
Innocent Dude what’s interesting is how later, there’s a movie called “The Last Jedi.”
“The Last Airbender...”
and just like with star wars, the original trilogy is better while any new iteration is just bad or nothing more than a cash grab.
Talisguy for Star Wars? I mean, what else would you call it? Why else would Disney buy it for like 6 billion dollars. It's just to make money. The prequels sucked ass but at least George was genuinely trying to tell a story he felt needed to be told.

Can't wait for that photo of aang
It seems sang died pretty young judging by the look of photo
Oh jeeez me too
Jamaal Ellison, no. He died of natural causes. Katara mentioned that at some point in Book 1 I think. That was just a photo of him traveling the world I guess.

nah Book 1 and Book 3 are easily the best
Ah another season and another character for Eric to mispronounce
@Dalton K fr it makes annoying yet super entertaining
Korra's arc in season 4 is one of my favorite character arcs ever.
Amon revenge for his dad?! Amon didn't give a shit about his dad! He hated bloodbending. You could see it in his cold dead eyes.
I know I’m 2 years late on this ,but that’s what I said! I don’t know why they seem to think that Amon was out for revenge. He felt he was bettering the world by ridding it of benders and felt he was the only one who could do that
korra's pain goes beyond just physical. especially ever since the finale, when everyone celebrated jinora's tattoos, she was the only one crying. s4 korra ain't so confident as s1 korra.
edit: i'm highkey in love with korra, just saying so don't come for her lmao. majority of the people that hate her don't pay attention to or understand her story.
Mr. Al
You know, I hope you'll never have to suffer from PTSD, depression and other mental issues. Because they are horrible demons and not just the result of "feeling sorry for oneself". A bit more compassion and social intelligence would help you a lot.
That's because Korra was raised as the Avatar in a compound and could never leave. Her whole identity revolves around being the Avatar, so you take that away and she is dead on the inside. It's why she cried last season cause she felt she wasn't needed anymore, on top of not being able to use her legs. It;s like when a prince is raised to be a king and told he is destined for great things and shoulder the country only to find out the the decides to have a senate rule or someone else and the prince kills him and takes the throne anyway, because he felt he deserved it or his right. It's actually common in many works. Look at Dr. Strange who built a career and identity around being a great surgeon had his hands severely damaged. That's also why some people speculate that after she had her bending removed from Amon in the first season that she contemplated suicide at that cliff edge.
That's one of the reasons I liked Season 4 a lot. I found the guys reaction to this episode and the previous one very underwhelming...
The girl got Mercury poisoning look up the symptoms and Korra exhibits them. She is battling the mental illness caused by it.
And she even has some left in her system.
"c'mon baby don't make me quit I got benefits, i'm in the union and everything" AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH
Ur an arsenal fan so I guess ur happy today
@@barcafan1054 hehehe LACAZETTE 😤
remember the end of 3x12 "enter the void"? tonrak thanked her she saved his life, and she responded "you can call me... Kuvira"
well here you go, I love season four and Kuvira
they remember. they mentioned it in the discussion
Kiprotich Toroitich thanks for the advice, couldn't watch the whole video
I can’t wait for the next episode. It’s my personal favorite episode of Lok and it’s one of the three episodes that I’ve cried during from any show.
What the hell Shane, Korra looks stunning with short hair!
IKR XD
Nah, short hair makes her look like more of a dude.
No Mere Mortal
Not at all.
No Mere Mortal That's the prettiest looking dude I've ever seen.
She looks SO much better with short hair!
Amon was not a revenge story. It's a little hidden in the rush of the ending, but he actually, genuinely, believes in his movement.
ALL HAIL THE GREAT UNITER!
THE GREAT UNITER!
All Hail God Empress Zelda
HAIL!
HAIL HYDRA, WAIT WHUT?!
SuperTrailerz Nope not when I alive. I will crush Kurvira in seconds
Kuvira is so damn good. One of my favorite characters.
Actually, we see in Book 3 episode 2 a map that shows the United Republic's territory which is pretty much the entire west coast of the Earth Kingdom (which makes sense given the oldest Fire Nation colonies were established there).
It's possible that the plane bandits were also ex-military given that everything fell apart after Zaheer assassinated the Earth Queen, since we saw the palace guard joining in with the looters
A few of the little details I like in this episode is that we're able to see all the different ranks and types of soldiers Kuvira has in her army. In the contract, it's mentioned that Kuvira is the internationally recognized provisional leader of the EK. Also, the symbol in the ring Korra's fighting in is from Earth Rumble back from AtLA
cant wait for next eps, korra alone!
Gavin Zhou yes me to😂
The creation of Republic City is explained in the Last Airbender graphic novels. Republic City isn't just a city it's the United Republic of Nations basically. It's like if the UN in our world had a city and small amount of land to control.
Or new york
I love Korra this season. All the trauma from the past seasons finally built up, and combined with the residual effects of mercury poisoning, she finally broke. But then she is able to mature and rebuild herself and finally come into her own.
If only Zelda Williams could talk in her Kuvira voice all the time. It's strangely attractive lol
Really appreciated the after episode discussion!
That’s actually her real voice, if you hear her talk it’ll sound very similar
Kuvira is voiced by Zelda Williams.
All Hail God Empress Zelda
Who?
Robin Williams' daughter.
Yes, that Robin Williams.
Next episode is best episode
Innocent Dude agreed
PUtbone Same
I never really liked zuko alone or korra alone
AT LAST, THE GREAT UNITER!
Otaku Riser she gives metal benders a bad name D:
MrBahki Don't speak badly of the Great Uniter
A Smart Ghost the “great uniter” isn’t as great as the greatest earth bender of all time.
In the comics Zuko handed all the Fire Nation colonies back to the Earth Kingdom and calling the Fire Nation citizens back home. But as they ran into older colonies there was more resistance. The Fire Nation families had lived there for generations and didn't want to be moved to a land they didn't know, and over the centuries the Fire Nation colonists and Earth Kingdom natives had intermingled. Even though the Fire Nation were "higher class" then the Earth Kingdom, they still made friends and even married. The governor of one of the colonies had married an Earth Kingdom citizen and had a daughter who could Earthbend, but identified as a Fire Nation citizen as well as an Earth Kingdom. In the end Zuko decided to let them stay and together with Aang they turned it into what is now Republic City.
Kuvira's forces are pretty similar to Benito Mussolini's regime, the leader of pre-WW2 Italy. Italy was scattered into various provinces where bandits ran rampant and the nation was collapsing follwing WW1. Using extremely brutal and deadly tactics, he forced unification among the disparate provinces, replacing chaos with tyrannical order.
lloooovee this book! Given you guys great reception on the series so far, I'm excited for the remaining episodes :)
Let's go ! Kuvira
Shit...this is it. The beginning of the end. I gotta say I loved watching you guys react to the avatar series. I feel it doesn’t have a big enough fan base to be talked about enough which sucks, but it’s always nice to watch people react to it and to actually enjoy all of it.
Just in case anybody missed their update. Every first Episode to every season is full length on their website. You can watch this full length if you want.
Is it for free though?
Mohamad Kabbara of course
Eddie Barragan season
I just finished watching all of your Reactions to LoK and love all of it Book 3 and 4 are the best you'll be surprised throughout this one and I can't wait to see how you react towards the end of it
So excited for you guys to watch this season! Great video as always!
The next episode is the masterpiece of this series you've been waiting for.
I love being able to get early access through Patreon, it makes me very happy with life. Love you guys.
man! I've been waiting for this one all week!
Korra Alone is next, the best episode of the series.
They gonna love the next episode :p
Videokrebs - Strategie, Tutorials und Modgameplay Eh, they just cared about callbacks to the original show, and were confused.
This season and the previous season are definitely my favorite
Korra is slightly removed from fanasty, while last air is pretty much full on but it did have some steampunk technology.
kuvira was teased subtly the smae way atla teased the lion turtle
Cant wait for you to react to the Korra Alone episode. Its so damn good.
I LOVED THAT THEY REFERENCED THE NINJA TURTLES at 9:25 when he said SHREDDER!
This is my favourite season!! So hyped for y'all to watch it
Can't wait for the next episode!
I think Eric's twisting Amon in his memory a bit. His motivation wasn't revenge for his father or anything like that. He truly believed that benders were a horrible force, something instilled in him by his abusive father. He went about it in a very hypocritical way, but it was an "ends justify the means" sort of thing.
I know this a old comment, but I don't think he is twisting his memory, his take on the character is flat-out wrong, and always has been. They say a bunch of stuff that is just incorrect, and are poor interpretations of what the story actualy is about it. And that is coming from someone who is very critical of the narrative choices Bryke and the writes made.
Can't wait for you guys to see the next episode!
Road to hell is paved with good intentions really applies to Kuvira here.
Kuvira: *gives ominous monologue*
Viewers: “I sense a plot to overthrow the Earth Kingdom”
So much good shit is on the way
Man I was waiting for this episode whole week. So fuckin excited for this last season. All hail Great Uniter!
Omg i can't wait to see your reaction to the next episode! Mwahahaha
That bison plane scene was like bane in dark knight rises lol.
I still can't believe its near to the end 😭 i don't wanna say goodbye 😢
Kuvira, if you remember, was the Zaofu soldier who saved Korra's dad last season.
Can't wait for next week. I think you guys are going to love it.
"C'mon, man don't make me quit. I got benefits everything, you know what I'm sayin'? I'm in the union."
😂😂😂
Episode 2 is probably my favourite episodes of The Legend of Korra, that involves a regular Korra character.
Hahaha. Doc. Samson referring was amazing!
I felt sorry for Bolin throughout this season.
Cant wait for next week when they watch Korra Alone, my favorite episode from both series.
korra’s PTSD arc this season makes me emotional everytime
Kuvira introduces herself in Book 3. We get her name in the episode everyone leaves the Metal Clan village to save the airbenders.
The home stretch. Great job for getting this far Blind Wave
Omgggggg who's ready for the next couple episodes? 😍 The feels are gonna be so freakinnnnnn real! 😭😭😭💙
Long Feng was Earth Kingdom.
Yeah Long Feng is long gone. ;D
Kuvira was the earthbender that saved Korra's father last season
No Eric.. Amon's motivation wasn't to get revenge for his father. Stop trying to pass it off as fact.
J_Butler99 here's hoping they actually listen to you know whos explanation on him and the others
Chill. He's not passing anything off as fact, he just misremembered. They started korra months ago (last year). On top of everything else they watch and do, it's easy to forget sometimes. It's not that big of a deal. :)
lol i'm not mad or anything but he's said it multiple times now and it's getting a little irritating, that's all.
Hard to tell when Amon isn't shown to have a motivation.
za21 It's said multiple times.
dai li was also an earthbending villain.
Kuvira gets stuff done! And Meelo is the BEST. He's my favorite little troll.
"do you wish the train to be them just skateboarding a piece of rock?"
Lmao 😝
Great review guys...i can't for the next one
SHANE ISN'T READY
DID CALVIN JUST DROP A DEAR HUNTER REFERENCE? WHAT A LEGEND
In case anyone isn’t sure, Kuvira is voiced by the late and great Robin William’s daughter, Zelda Williams.
When watching this episode, 1 thing in particular is very clear: Puberty hit Kai's voice actor like a freakin' truck
my favourite season of the series :D
I can't wait to see your others reaction guys!!!
Can’t wait to see someone coming up
With 3 years passing this makes korra and her friends at least 20 years old interestingly
So glad you guys have finally gotten to the best LOK book. A lot say it's Book 3, but I think it's Book 4.
Oh god... I can't wait for the next episode! D: I wanna see how they react *smirk*
This episode title reference “ Long ⏳t⏳i🕰m⏱e⏰ no ⏲ see “ episode 4( The Super Adventure’s Of STATIC 🔋💡✍🏿🗣 SHOCK ) and episode 10 “ It has been months “ season 1 coming soon in 2023 , so hit me on Facebook ! Twitter , TH-cam or even Instagram .
They touch on a key strength of Legend of Korra in this video.
Last Airbender was a show about a child finding his way in an unknown world. It's a story of personal growth for the select characters the show follows across all 3 seasons. The villains in LAB outside of Zuko do not really matter and don't have fully developed personalities. It could be argued that Azula has something similar to a character arc, but going from bratty arrogant little sister to deranged crazy chick is trading one thin one-note characterization for another one-note characterization.
Legend of Korra is a story about characters with fully developed motivations and beliefs and how those characters try to inflict those beliefs on the rest of their world. Each LOK villain has a goal, a world view, and an ideological stance that they stand by even if they kept that ideology a secret from the public. Korra has her own goals and beliefs (I can save the world!), but every time she tries to act on her beliefs the villains and political figures in the world around her do everything they can to get in her way.
Aang's journey was about introducing the audience to a fantasy world.
Korra's journey is about standing by your principles and saying "Yes I can!" even as the world around you shouts back "No you can't!"
The first 3 seasons are pretty much all about Korra saying "Yes I can!" and being shouted down by her critics. The first 3 to 5 episodes of this season answer the question of what happens when Korra starts to believe "Maybe I can't." and then has to build herself back up from nothing all over again.
SPOILER although they much have already seen it by now and i don't think they read the comments anyway
When i come to think that Korra spent 3 whole years still with poison inside her! my god, poor her.
you guys better grab some tissues for the next episode
Sees people gliding through the air in suits with wings after jumping off flying beast.
Blind Wave- X-men
Me- How to train your dragon
Please, go on reviewing the next episodes, guys! Wanna hear more of your theories!!!
Now i remember why i liked kuvira so much. Shes badass
My favorite season 😊
I wonder if Eric is ever going to rewatch LoK. We know he’s seen ATLA 3 times now, but I don’t know if has anywhere near the same enthusiasm for LoK. I mention this because he seems to be kinda misremembering Amon’s character. And that’s really strange, because I remember him gushing about it when they watched it, claiming him to be his favorite villain of the Avatar franchise because his character and motivations were so deep and layered. Hmmph. Well, at any rate, you-know-who is going to lay out all the villains’ basic motivations pretty clearly in a few episodes. I at least hope that at some point, Eric rewatches Amon’s backstory.
This is the last of the franchise so far but some people who worked on this and Avatar made another show called Voltron Legendary Defender and it's great if you're looking for a replacement for this
Id say Kobita is trying to create order and unite Earth kingdom but Varek is the one who's hiring the bandits to push her vision to victory.
