Korra is a great sequel, i guess. Not exactly as good as OG, but it´s hard to compare each other because the two of them are far different from the other one.
It kind of made sense how aang passed away a bit earlier than katara, even doh most of his life was preserved in the iceberg he still stayed in it for 100 years so he's naturally older than the rest
Yeah the average lifespan for previous avatars was around 150 years old and aang already spent 100 years in the iceberg so he had round about 50 years left to live and since he was 12 it would make sense as to why he died at age 66
@@Knockedy I thought that was for kyoshi only tbh, but your right, if we are being real aang if he were not the avatar may have died as soon as he left that ice berg
I don’t think that’s how they went about it. Well yes and no at the same time. Like u said he stayed in the iceberg for 100 years, but when he came out he was still a 12 year old boy. As he got older the years he spent in the iceberg caught up to him and he died at only 66, or 166 if u think about it in that way.
spending 100 years in the avatar state wore out a lot of his vitality, explaining why he died sooner than he should have, and for me it's explainable, at least we got to see some other characters from that time
@@Knockedy Kyoshi wasn't "average." Even Avatars most likely live about as long as we do, with the possible addition or subtraction of a few decades depending on their lifestyle.

@SockMonkey Gaming atla isn't perfect either but it's still a master piece. Korra isn't a master piece and is definitely not perfect, but it's still a really good show.
I was at work yesterday and I heard someone else watching your finale of Airbender and I couldn’t believe other people around me watch you too I didn’t know!
Don't be afraid to compare the series. They are in the same universe. Just don't hate on Korra just because it's different. That's what's annoying. This series has a very different tone.
@Ricardo Alonso Rojas yeah I love the power rangers mega droid🤣😂And super boring final fight it wasn’t good wu was annoying and the ending as a whole was lackluster asf
@@nyceone43 what the fuck are you talking about lmao? Season 3 is considered the best. Season 4 is mediocre at best. Worst final battle combined with a terrible ending.
"more like the 90's and 80's" 😆😆😆 I'd say it's more based on the 30's and 40's. Also I recommend reading the comics. They somewhat bridge the gap between ATLA and TLOK.
They don't really explain how there's more bison but in the novels they said Aang found a wild herd of sky bison at some point. ALSO the police are metal benders. Those wires they're using are being controlled by metal bending. They just have a reel of metal wires on their backs.
I wouldn’t worry about the people who say don’t compare and/or criticize Korra. They go on every reactor videos who watched ATLA and say don’t watch Korra and what not. Literally every reactor has really enjoyed Korra. Is it as good as ATLA, no. However, it’s still a really great show.
This 100%. The haters are kinda weird and obsessive lol. But I've watched so many ATLA reactors and I've never seen anyone who ended up hating LoK. The biggest thing really holding LoK back is the way that Nickelodeon kept screwing with it. If they could have planned for a 4 season show from the beginning instead of expecting 1 short season, I think it could have REALLY shined. But they still made a great show despite it.
I think ATLA has a better overall quality of writing but TLOK isn’t far behind, I’d argue there are some things this show does even better than it’s prequel.
@@silvereyes242 Imho TLoK main problem was nick and how bad they treated that show. If they had more freedom, time and budget like atla had it would turn out to be far better show than atla was
@@askyeyv7039 Agreed, the fact that TLOK was as good as it was despite the creators constantly being sabotaged by Nickelodeon is really a miracle in of itself. I mean the show is far better than most children’s shows or anime’s I’ve watched and most of them certainly weren’t subjected to such conditions as Korra.
@@matheusa.c.c.8370 she said that they discovered the bisons after the hundred year war Aang discovered the new air bisons too since they were a new species and Appa was the last species of the old sky bisons
One thing I feel like is a detriment to adjusting to Korra is how fast reactors jump into it. When it was airing on TV, there was quite a few years in between the two series to where it did feel like FOREVER since we fans had gotten any new avatar content. I was starting secondary school when ATLA began, and was starting University when Korra began. Jumping into a world where Aang has passed away and new advancements had been made just felt appropriate, cause it already felt like Avatar as a series had been dead for so long (the younger you were, the longer it felt). There's gotta be a lot of whiplash going from ATLA to LoK almost instantly.
Agreed. I was thinking about this while watching this reaction. They still have ATLA fresh in their memory while starting this, making the time jump feels weird to them, hence the 8:09 interstellar comment. Compared to us who watched them when they were airing, we can really feel the time jump since we finished ATLA like years ago. I personally think reactors should give it at least 3 months break after ATLA before starting TLOK for better experience, preferable even a year.
They missed so much information that made me really angry while watching. Katara said that Tenzin had siblings, and they continue to talk about something else. Try to pay attention maybe.
Okay sometimes these guys are just so dumb first they miss the fact that old guy called her Katara and only noticed when they saw the necklace and stuff and now they are having a hard time understanding that Katara and Aang had kids and grandkids together, what the hell get it together!
No, their dumb most of the time, at this point I don't know why I still watch them. Evey time I see a reaction I hope they catch things but they always let me down. It's kind of funny
* sees cars and tech based on the 1920s * Also them: "looks modern from the 90s or 1980s or something" I feel bad cuz they seem like really nice people but uuughhhhh!
Its not covered immensely. But Korra trained her entire life(we just didnt get to see). Literally from the time you saw her as a toddler until her teen years. Aang trained hard, but he was looking to have fun along the way, just as Korra is looking to explore the world.
Please stop talking through it, if u want to discuss it pause u guys keep missing vital information, and no there was no technology involved with the metal benders
Hope you guys continue to enjoy Korra. I actually love this series just as much as ATLA. Also not sure if you noticed but Tenzin does have siblings. His wife asked when she was talking to Katara
20:10 : "Aang would always prioritize training" Also Aang: "Ha ha dance party, water slide, gambling go brrrrrrr... oh wait the invasion's in 4 days!?"💀
When it comes to ATLA and TLOK comparisons, people always overrate Aang and easily forget his faults, which is sad because these faults are a HUGE part of what make his character super legit since he's just a kid after all and kids can be like that. However, is always great to see how through discipline and conviction he gets his act together in order to deal with the war. On the other hand, whenever there's talks about Korra, they just remember her mistakes and failures, but never the positive. Korra is the perfect depiction of a prodigy who spent most of her life effortlessly being really good at whatever it was that she was supposed to be good at (bending) and then started running into the biggest obstacles thus realizing she can't exclusively depend on her natural talent but in hard work and harsh experiences as well. Seeing her in the first episode and then on the final episode is like looking at two completely different persons. I loved these two avatars as main characters and I would gladly watch the story of a third.
I want you guys to know that after season 1 Nickelodeon didn’t expect to renew the series so keep that in mind with the writing and everything else. Basically I just want y’all to know a lot of the flaws this series has are because of poor scheduling
@kollie79 I think they are fine in season 1 but its clear from season 2 that their character arc was supposed to end in S1 and the writers had no idea what to do with them after. Asami especially suffers from this, shes just there for most part and becomes Korra's love interest at the last minute.
1. They thought that they'd only have one season of Korra, and besides most viewers had already watched Aang learn water, earth, and firebending, so they decided to focus on the one that he already knew when Avatar the Last Airbender began, and show what it's like to learn airbending. 2. Mako is named after the actor who was the voice for General Iroh, Mako Iwamatsu, who died after they finished recording the voices for book 2 of Avatar: The Last Airbender. 3. Mako is played by David Faustino of Married With Children and Tenzin is voiced by JK Simmons who played J Jonah Jamison in Spider-man, Commissioner Gordon in Justice League, and does the Farmers Insurance ads. 4. The graphic novels that came out after Avatar: The Last Airbender cover what happened to Zuko's mother, the founding of Republic City, Toph's Metal Bending Academy, and some other events that happened after the end of the Hundred Year's War.
I love how you guys correctly understand the nuance behind korra as southern water tribe girl still lives like a hunter and gatherer but then you have problem understanding how katara is meelo's grandmother.
Totally fair to compare if you ask me. It’s a completely different feel. Korra is my avatar tho. I adore Aang for real but just related to Korra so much more.
Tenzin's wife Pema is one of the Air Acolytes, a group of (usually) nonbenders who volunteer to preserve Air Nomad culture. The bison thing will be explained later. I think that's something that confuses everyone this episode! Korra thought she could just pick it food because she's spent her entire life in the South Pole. Everything was provided to her. She has no idea how a city economy works.
you guys talk over important stuff, especially the guy, they showed off katara so many times, she even spoke and they called her katara, then a few seconds later they're like; is that katara?!?? 😱 lmao
The reason why there are brothers with different elements is because the fire nation had colonies in the earth kingdom for a long time. So eventually fire people mated with earth people.
Actually things started out that way. The first colonies were run by both fire nation and earth nation citizens. Earth nation were not treated as slaves and there were no problems intermarrying. Remember the initial goal was spread the fire nation's prosperity. Firelord Ozzai, at least at one point in his life, actually believed that. It was a slow slide towards tyranny.
Definitely disagree with Aang being introverted. Aang and Korra are definitely opposites, but Aang definitely made friends and conversation everywhere he went haha. Best example is the fire nation school! Not really shy or reserved at all
Some points: First: they made Korra the mirror reflection of Aang. a)different genders. b)he's bold, she has hair. c)Aang was a master of one element and needed to learn the other three, Korra was a natural with the first three but failed at the last element being air. d) Aang was scrawny and didn't like fighting, Korra is an amazon who loves fighting. e) Aang was very traditional, Korra is very individualistic and free spirited. f) Aang was a very spiritual person, Korra wasn't at the start. g) Aang didn't want to be the Avatar but had to learn to become it. Being the Avatar was everything to Korra, her whole personality and self image/value revolved around it, and her journey was about learning to be more humble/getting of her high horse and balancing her role as the Avatar with being a normal member of the world. continue on replies...
The two series are also mirrors of each other and I would say they are practically each other's ying and yang with ATLA being the yang and LOK the ying side. let me explain: Yang represents aspects like maleness, being active, logic, simplicity, directness, openness and externality/extroversion to name a few. ATLA was a very straightforward show about a boy needing to grow into he's role in the world and stoping a straight forward force of evil/evil empire (fn). It was centered mainly on male characters, specifically Aang and Zuko. It had themes of both fatherhood and motherhood but clearly had a bigger focus on the fatherhood side, Zuko's relationship with both Ozai and Iroh, Soka and he's dad, Aang with his monk father figure who's name i can't remember how to spell, etc; and it was straightforward in how it ended, openly defeating the force of evil that treathening the world. Ying represents femininity, passivity, introspection, internality, deep ideas, the unknown, etc. LOK is very female centered, most of the characters are females and has strong themes of motherhood (spoiler). Korra's character arc/journey is mainly internal having to do with her personality and understanding of the world and thus a very important thing she most do is learn how to hold the breaks and think things through (passivity). It goes deeper into the whole spiritual thing. Each of the seasons problems are mainly philosophical and it would require some type of clash of ideas to resolve as oppose to ATLA's simple and external solution of it's problem, being beating the Fire Lord.
As mention above the problems Korra will be facing revolve around ideas and philosophies. This would normally require time and discussion to properly address something that is hard to do in a short series whit a small number thirty minute episodes. I think this is the reason why some people didn't like the series as much as ATLA. Because being a tv show with a limited run time it didn't have the time to properly challenge and discuss said ideas in a efficient way. The problems were quickly solve with the good old "beating the bad guy formula" but in doing so it left the ideas at the center of the conflict up in the air. I think this type of "ying" stories, one's that are female centered and revolve around ideas and philosophies, are better explore in books and comics since both have the time and format to explore said ideas, how this ideas affect the world in the story and it gives the characters all the time they need to deal and resolve said problems and ideas in a complete manner. As for the main bad guys of the series and their respective idiologies I won't spoil anything, but since you already met seasons one's villain Amon I will leave this hint: he is in every shape and form the Anti-Avatar.
A couple of things you guys missed or misunderstood. Aang has 3 kids, not just Tenzin. The metalbender police force isnt using technology, they have spools of metal cable that they metalbend to shoot out and wrap around stuff. This era of the show is reminiscent of the 1920's USA, early renditions of cars, skyscrapers, but still no tv, still using radio broadcasting as entertainment. I would also recommend pausing the episodes when you have discussions about stuff that way you dont miss out on important details, like how you almost missed Lin saying she was Toph's daughter
10:33 not all benders are oppressing others 12:50 please don’t take this as negative but this is another example of why you should listen more carefully
Episode 1 is definitely not the reason some people don't like the show. They usually don't like it just because Korra is not Aang, and how the series is a lot more introspective. Also there was a lot of teenage angst.
@@Animehoncho99 in your opinion. People act like having a love triangle in a show is somehow objectively bad. A lot of people are into things like that
Love the reactions so far you two, just please make sure to pay close attention to the dialogue, there's a lot of key story points you can easily miss. Also, yes, the Metalbending police officers metal bend their cables.
Toph opened up a metalbending school and established it as a discipline. The police officers are using metal uniforms and bending them. Toph became chief of police and her daughter later inherited the position
Korra's training was similar to normal avatar training in that while she could use 3 elements from a young age she would have been trained first in water, then earth, and we saw her firebending test. What's abnormal is that she was in one place doing her training. Typically the avatar is supposed to master their native element then be identified as the avatar at 16 and travel to the other nations to learn the other 3 elements in the order of the cycle. That way they can learn about and experience the world in order to be a wise avatar Roku is the last avatar who got a normal training period. Aang was told earlier than normal at 12 and he had to learn the other elements in a rush to handle the war
You gotta dial down on the talking and start listening. Pause if you want to talk. You guys missed when katara's name was mentioned the first time. Now you almost missed about toph's daughter

@SockMonkey Gaming when did I say it’s perfect which show is perfect lmao the hypocrisy because these comments are barely there for ATLA new comers. Just because you find low points doesn’t mean others will
@SockMonkey Gaming atla isn't perfect either but it's still a master piece. Korra isn't a master piece and is definitely not perfect, but it's still a really good show.
@@ElementMucho I don't even understand why you are even getting mad at his comment he literally said nothing wrong.
@@ElementMucho Because we have to keep their expectations low. So they would enjoy it I guess.
Whenever I hear J.K. Simmons say “My father, Avatar Aang”, I just crack up.
I was at work yesterday and I heard someone else watching your finale of Airbender and I couldn’t believe other people around me watch you too I didn’t know!
WoW that's nice to hear! It's really a small world lol
You're going to love the story! So much lore and amazing characters
They always have the hardest time with visualizing family lineages haha
Don't be afraid to compare the series. They are in the same universe. Just don't hate on Korra just because it's different. That's what's annoying. This series has a very different tone.
People hate on it because season 2 and 4 suck.
@@willyrodriguez10 Season 4 is one of the best across the whole franchise.
@Ricardo Alonso Rojas yeah I love the power rangers mega droid🤣😂And super boring final fight it wasn’t good wu was annoying and the ending as a whole was lackluster asf
@@nyceone43 what the fuck are you talking about lmao? Season 3 is considered the best. Season 4 is mediocre at best. Worst final battle combined with a terrible ending.
@@willyrodriguez10 Whoa, calm down. Let's keep it PG. This aint Squid Game.
I read this from somewhere that_
"Aang is a PACIFIST who had to FIGHT a war &
Korra is a FIGHTER who had to maintain PEACE"
Jus to let u know, u guys miss a lot of info when talking while the characters are interacting, thats why u dont catch everything
It's like listening went out the window it was hilarious how confused they were when the information was literally given
"more like the 90's and 80's" 😆😆😆
I'd say it's more based on the 30's and 40's.
Also I recommend reading the comics. They somewhat bridge the gap between ATLA and TLOK.
The Satomobiles are based on the Ford Model T (and of course their creator based on Henry Ford) produced from 1908 to 1927...
@@sirvanscoy you know what's funny. I was going to say 20s at first but then I deleted it and said 30s. 😆😆😆
I was dying when they said that🤣🤣🤣
They don't really explain how there's more bison but in the novels they said Aang found a wild herd of sky bison at some point.
ALSO the police are metal benders. Those wires they're using are being controlled by metal bending. They just have a reel of metal wires on their backs.
They did explain it, like in book 2
I wouldn’t worry about the people who say don’t compare and/or criticize Korra. They go on every reactor videos who watched ATLA and say don’t watch Korra and what not. Literally every reactor has really enjoyed Korra. Is it as good as ATLA, no. However, it’s still a really great show.
Agreed! ATLA is a masterpiece, so it's definitely hard to follow up and top.
Korra is a great show in its own right
This 100%. The haters are kinda weird and obsessive lol. But I've watched so many ATLA reactors and I've never seen anyone who ended up hating LoK. The biggest thing really holding LoK back is the way that Nickelodeon kept screwing with it. If they could have planned for a 4 season show from the beginning instead of expecting 1 short season, I think it could have REALLY shined. But they still made a great show despite it.
I think ATLA has a better overall quality of writing but TLOK isn’t far behind, I’d argue there are some things this show does even better than it’s prequel.
@@silvereyes242 Imho TLoK main problem was nick and how bad they treated that show. If they had more freedom, time and budget like atla had it would turn out to be far better show than atla was
@@askyeyv7039 Agreed, the fact that TLOK was as good as it was despite the creators constantly being sabotaged by Nickelodeon is really a miracle in of itself. I mean the show is far better than most children’s shows or anime’s I’ve watched and most of them certainly weren’t subjected to such conditions as Korra.
Wow this is great. It’s amazing how they talk over every important line of dialogue.
Appa wasn’t the only bison left. When the firebenders attacked the airbenders, it makes sense that the other bison flew away and hid somewhere
You’ll learn quickly that Korra would’ve been more suited to fighting the Fire Lord than Aang.
Aang: fighting is wrong
Korra: fighting is always the answer
She would’ve killed him in season 1
More suited because of skill amd more years to practice yes, but in the era of war, violence,destruction,genocide and pain ? No
Korra woulda killed him instead of takin his bending🤣🤣
@@aanyamallick7747 there wouldn’t have been a war because she wouldn’t have ran away in the first place lmao
Korra Aang and Toph got confirmed for the new Smash Bros-like game “Nick All-Stars Brawl”
1 thing to remember, is there are tons of comics telling stories in-between these 2 series
Yay!! Love the LOK hopefully you two do as well:)
it’s confirmed that after the war ended Aang found a group of Sky Bison
well, that's kind of a spoiler, isn't it?
@@matheusa.c.c.8370 not really because they never mention it in the show ever.
@@matheusa.c.c.8370 It’s not a spoiler because it is as never mentioned
@@ultimatefirecracker1486 don't they mention it in "Beginnings: Part 2"? that firebending sorcer?
@@matheusa.c.c.8370 she said that they discovered the bisons after the hundred year war Aang discovered the new air bisons too since they were a new species and Appa was the last species of the old sky bisons
One thing I feel like is a detriment to adjusting to Korra is how fast reactors jump into it. When it was airing on TV, there was quite a few years in between the two series to where it did feel like FOREVER since we fans had gotten any new avatar content. I was starting secondary school when ATLA began, and was starting University when Korra began. Jumping into a world where Aang has passed away and new advancements had been made just felt appropriate, cause it already felt like Avatar as a series had been dead for so long (the younger you were, the longer it felt). There's gotta be a lot of whiplash going from ATLA to LoK almost instantly.
This is such an interesting take. I like it.
Agreed. I was thinking about this while watching this reaction. They still have ATLA fresh in their memory while starting this, making the time jump feels weird to them, hence the 8:09 interstellar comment. Compared to us who watched them when they were airing, we can really feel the time jump since we finished ATLA like years ago. I personally think reactors should give it at least 3 months break after ATLA before starting TLOK for better experience, preferable even a year.
They missed so much information that made me really angry while watching. Katara said that Tenzin had siblings, and they continue to talk about something else. Try to pay attention maybe.
For context, there was a sanctuary in the fire nation that kept air bison preserved during the war. You see a glimpse of it in Book 2.
Okay sometimes these guys are just so dumb first they miss the fact that old guy called her Katara and only noticed when they saw the necklace and stuff and now they are having a hard time understanding that Katara and Aang had kids and grandkids together, what the hell get it together!
No, their dumb most of the time, at this point I don't know why I still watch them. Evey time I see a reaction I hope they catch things but they always let me down. It's kind of funny
* sees cars and tech based on the 1920s *
Also them: "looks modern from the 90s or 1980s or something"
I feel bad cuz they seem like really nice people but uuughhhhh!
@@90sprinceofcrime67 omg it gets worse?! 😳 lol I just started watching them today.
The way I just finished watching someone LOK clips and I saw this is so clutch
5:31 moments like these are why I love StruckByBelz. You guys are so endearing and funny! Thanks for sharing your reactions
Its not covered immensely. But Korra trained her entire life(we just didnt get to see). Literally from the time you saw her as a toddler until her teen years. Aang trained hard, but he was looking to have fun along the way, just as Korra is looking to explore the world.
I had a stroke listening to them trying to figure out katara has grandkids
Great reactions but sometimes ya'll talk over the dialogue nd miss important stuff maybe pause the vid when discussing 👍
Those guys in the beginning are actually metalbending those whips or whatever you wanna call them lol. Metalbending has just evolved.
“Do you believe she is ready master Katara”
Lol straight struggling on one limb of the family tree 😂😂
you guys not understanding how grandmas work is kind of fun. lol
Please stop talking through it, if u want to discuss it pause u guys keep missing vital information, and no there was no technology involved with the metal benders
I'll never understand how anyone can't notice it's katara just by looking at her other than the necklace 😂😂
Yea bro korra is really dope as hell in this series and a whole rollercoaster, that’s mad relatable yo I look forward to this journey
Hope you guys continue to enjoy Korra. I actually love this series just as much as ATLA. Also not sure if you noticed but Tenzin does have siblings. His wife asked when she was talking to Katara
20:10 : "Aang would always prioritize training"
Also Aang: "Ha ha dance party, water slide, gambling go brrrrrrr... oh wait the invasion's in 4 days!?"💀
When it comes to ATLA and TLOK comparisons, people always overrate Aang and easily forget his faults, which is sad because these faults are a HUGE part of what make his character super legit since he's just a kid after all and kids can be like that. However, is always great to see how through discipline and conviction he gets his act together in order to deal with the war.
On the other hand, whenever there's talks about Korra, they just remember her mistakes and failures, but never the positive. Korra is the perfect depiction of a prodigy who spent most of her life effortlessly being really good at whatever it was that she was supposed to be good at (bending) and then started running into the biggest obstacles thus realizing she can't exclusively depend on her natural talent but in hard work and harsh experiences as well. Seeing her in the first episode and then on the final episode is like looking at two completely different persons.
I loved these two avatars as main characters and I would gladly watch the story of a third.
@@athernandez666 buddy I was joking💀💀
I want you guys to know that after season 1 Nickelodeon didn’t expect to renew the series so keep that in mind with the writing and everything else. Basically I just want y’all to know a lot of the flaws this series has are because of poor scheduling
@kollie79 True but the writers are still accountable. They wrote the Raava shit and thought it was good to make the Avatar the Jesus icarnation.
@kollie79 I think they are fine in season 1 but its clear from season 2 that their character arc was supposed to end in S1 and the writers had no idea what to do with them after. Asami especially suffers from this, shes just there for most part and becomes Korra's love interest at the last minute.
1. They thought that they'd only have one season of Korra, and besides most viewers had already watched Aang learn water, earth, and firebending, so they decided to focus on the one that he already knew when Avatar the Last Airbender began, and show what it's like to learn airbending.
2. Mako is named after the actor who was the voice for General Iroh, Mako Iwamatsu, who died after they finished recording the voices for book 2 of Avatar: The Last Airbender.
3. Mako is played by David Faustino of Married With Children and Tenzin is voiced by JK Simmons who played J Jonah Jamison in Spider-man, Commissioner Gordon in Justice League, and does the Farmers Insurance ads.
4. The graphic novels that came out after Avatar: The Last Airbender cover what happened to Zuko's mother, the founding of Republic City, Toph's Metal Bending Academy, and some other events that happened after the end of the Hundred Year's War.
I'm sorry I love ur reactions but y'all talk too much and don't pause when u talk, then u miss a few stuff
You're exactly right. This world doesn't need the avatar, which is Korra's whole identity. That's a big part of the whole show.
You guys have to read the comics to know the whole back story of the OG Avatar
How do y’all not hear them say Master Katara? Like missing key details lol.
I love how you guys correctly understand the nuance behind korra as southern water tribe girl still lives like a hunter and gatherer but then you have problem understanding how katara is meelo's grandmother.
Also you missed when they said Tenzin has 2 siblings. These first episodes are hella Strorytelling.
"Exposition," not storytelling.
I never really liked kora as much as air bender but it has its greatness nonetheless!
Totally fair to compare if you ask me. It’s a completely different feel. Korra is my avatar tho. I adore Aang for real but just related to Korra so much more.
Tenzin's wife Pema is one of the Air Acolytes, a group of (usually) nonbenders who volunteer to preserve Air Nomad culture.
The bison thing will be explained later. I think that's something that confuses everyone this episode!
Korra thought she could just pick it food because she's spent her entire life in the South Pole. Everything was provided to her. She has no idea how a city economy works.
you guys talk over important stuff, especially the guy, they showed off katara so many times, she even spoke and they called her katara, then a few seconds later they're like; is that katara?!?? 😱 lmao
I’ve never been so happy clicking on a video 😄
Aim higher, Willis.
After the 100 year war Aang discovered a wild herd of bison. Appa was the last sky bison, Aang’s son’s bison (Oogi) is an air bison.
I have a feeling they gonna like Korra better than the last airbender
The reason why there are brothers with different elements is because the fire nation had colonies in the earth kingdom for a long time. So eventually fire people mated with earth people.
Actually things started out that way. The first colonies were run by both fire nation and earth nation citizens. Earth nation were not treated as slaves and there were no problems intermarrying. Remember the initial goal was spread the fire nation's prosperity. Firelord Ozzai, at least at one point in his life, actually believed that. It was a slow slide towards tyranny.
Love your reactions but don't know how you struggled with "that's your grandmother" 🤣🤣✌
And the legendary journey continues🙏🏾
You guys the first reaction channel to miss “master katara” dialog lol but at least you guys recognised her.
Definitely disagree with Aang being introverted. Aang and Korra are definitely opposites, but Aang definitely made friends and conversation everywhere he went haha. Best example is the fire nation school! Not really shy or reserved at all
I don't really like Legend of Korra much, but after I rewatched ATLA I was hungry for more Avatar content and started watching reactions
Animation by Studio Mir (Korea) and Studio Pierrot (Japan)!
Their brains start frying at 5:35 😂😂
I legit just hollered!! 😂😂😂😂😂
If you stick with this series all the way through it’s a reward in itself. Excited for your reactions fam!
Some points:
First: they made Korra the mirror reflection of Aang.
a)different genders.
b)he's bold, she has hair.
c)Aang was a master of one element and needed to learn the other three, Korra was a natural with the first three but failed at the last element being air.
d) Aang was scrawny and didn't like fighting, Korra is an amazon who loves fighting.
e) Aang was very traditional, Korra is very individualistic and free spirited.
f) Aang was a very spiritual person, Korra wasn't at the start.
g) Aang didn't want to be the Avatar but had to learn to become it. Being the Avatar was everything to Korra, her whole personality and self image/value revolved around it, and her journey was about learning to be more humble/getting of her high horse and balancing her role as the Avatar with being a normal member of the world.
continue on replies...
The two series are also mirrors of each other and I would say they are practically each other's ying and yang with ATLA being the yang and LOK the ying side.
let me explain:
Yang represents aspects like maleness, being active, logic, simplicity, directness, openness and externality/extroversion to name a few. ATLA was a very straightforward show about a boy needing to grow into he's role in the world and stoping a straight forward force of evil/evil empire (fn). It was centered mainly on male characters, specifically Aang and Zuko. It had themes of both fatherhood and motherhood but clearly had a bigger focus on the fatherhood side, Zuko's relationship with both Ozai and Iroh, Soka and he's dad, Aang with his monk father figure who's name i can't remember how to spell, etc; and it was straightforward in how it ended, openly defeating the force of evil that treathening the world.
Ying represents femininity, passivity, introspection, internality, deep ideas, the unknown, etc. LOK is very female centered, most of the characters are females and has strong themes of motherhood (spoiler). Korra's character arc/journey is mainly internal having to do with her personality and understanding of the world and thus a very important thing she most do is learn how to hold the breaks and think things through (passivity). It goes deeper into the whole spiritual thing. Each of the seasons problems are mainly philosophical and it would require some type of clash of ideas to resolve as oppose to ATLA's simple and external solution of it's problem, being beating the Fire Lord.
As mention above the problems Korra will be facing revolve around ideas and philosophies. This would normally require time and discussion to properly address something that is hard to do in a short series whit a small number thirty minute episodes. I think this is the reason why some people didn't like the series as much as ATLA. Because being a tv show with a limited run time it didn't have the time to properly challenge and discuss said ideas in a efficient way. The problems were quickly solve with the good old "beating the bad guy formula" but in doing so it left the ideas at the center of the conflict up in the air. I think this type of "ying" stories, one's that are female centered and revolve around ideas and philosophies, are better explore in books and comics since both have the time and format to explore said ideas, how this ideas affect the world in the story and it gives the characters all the time they need to deal and resolve said problems and ideas in a complete manner.
As for the main bad guys of the series and their respective idiologies I won't spoil anything, but since you already met seasons one's villain Amon I will leave this hint: he is in every shape and form the Anti-Avatar.
If y’all read the Atla comics you would know that Toph was teaching other earth benders how to metal bend y’all should look into it
They recently finished watching atla, what did you expect? And you just spoiled the comics for them
@@micahsiemens333 The comics literally called "Toph Beifong's metalbending academy"
A couple of things you guys missed or misunderstood. Aang has 3 kids, not just Tenzin. The metalbender police force isnt using technology, they have spools of metal cable that they metalbend to shoot out and wrap around stuff. This era of the show is reminiscent of the 1920's USA, early renditions of cars, skyscrapers, but still no tv, still using radio broadcasting as entertainment. I would also recommend pausing the episodes when you have discussions about stuff that way you dont miss out on important details, like how you almost missed Lin saying she was Toph's daughter
10:33 not all benders are oppressing others
12:50 please don’t take this as negative but this is another example of why you should listen more carefully
There are comics that take place after the show. They explain things like what happened to zuko's mom and toph teaching people metal bending
Not gonna lie, this reaction hurt me to watch lmao. Y’all need to take notes and discuss after.
Episode 1 is definitely not the reason some people don't like the show. They usually don't like it just because Korra is not Aang, and how the series is a lot more introspective. Also there was a lot of teenage angst.
i agree
Mainly the teenage angst. Season 1 was probably my 2nd fave and would’ve been so much better without the love triangle.
@@Animehoncho99 true
@@Animehoncho99 in your opinion. People act like having a love triangle in a show is somehow objectively bad. A lot of people are into things like that
@@ssickhead1 it wasn’t even a good love triangle. Was no need for it. But w.e u say
Love the reactions so far you two, just please make sure to pay close attention to the dialogue, there's a lot of key story points you can easily miss. Also, yes, the Metalbending police officers metal bend their cables.
Toph opened up a metalbending school and established it as a discipline. The police officers are using metal uniforms and bending them. Toph became chief of police and her daughter later inherited the position
Korra's training was similar to normal avatar training in that while she could use 3 elements from a young age she would have been trained first in water, then earth, and we saw her firebending test. What's abnormal is that she was in one place doing her training. Typically the avatar is supposed to master their native element then be identified as the avatar at 16 and travel to the other nations to learn the other 3 elements in the order of the cycle. That way they can learn about and experience the world in order to be a wise avatar
Roku is the last avatar who got a normal training period. Aang was told earlier than normal at 12 and he had to learn the other elements in a rush to handle the war
Love you guys! Great reaction & i like your way to discuss & analyzing. And also you guys are so funny when got confused😆😆😆
You gotta dial down on the talking and start listening. Pause if you want to talk. You guys missed when katara's name was mentioned the first time. Now you almost missed about toph's daughter
You don't know how hyped I was when I saw this video pop up in my recommendation lolll. You guys are elite
The police actually are metalbenders. Toph taught it to other earthbenders, so it’s a lot more common now
