So, I think it went like this. The first season was the only, second was announced and then had it's budget cut part way through, three and four were announced and then three was taken off air halfway through, then they bought it back on air, and accelerated season 4 (one month after season three ended) and finally, gave season 4 another budget cut. F*** It was hell trying to keep up with it at the time. But the music stayed strong.
@@sugartoothYT they could have pulled a buffy, where aang dying briefly meant another avatar was called and now there's two. who knows, it's completely fictional, they could have had aang still be alive in some sense if they wanted to, i'm sure - they're smart enough to have made it work. also you shouldn't use the word 'retarded' regardless of context.
@@staceyking8796 It doesn't really work here. It makes sense in Buffy because there are many slayers, but there's only one avatar, and there has only ever been one avatar. Korra isn't Aang's successor, she IS Aang. Korra and Aang and Roku and Kyoshi and all the avatars are all the same person.
Legend of Korra is really good. People took a while to appreciate it because it's different than ATLA but I believe Korra has grown a lot in people's eyes as the time passes.
Korra did introduce new issues social problems I think it’s cool that. Was different Tenzin got his temper from his mom no doubt Lin definitely inherited tophs hand signals Korra did the I’m watching you sign like katara did when the gang first found toph
Every Avatar reactor who loved A:TLA, was also told by a mixed audience not to watch Korra, but when they did decide to watch it anyway...they thoroughly enjoyed the series as well! It'll be good!
I'll say straight up that I don't like LoK one bit, but I wouldn't tell someone not to watch it. They can watch it and make it their own mind, hell I'll even admit that the first time I watched it, I did enjoy it to some degree, and if reactors can get that experience too, to just go through it and have a good time, then let them. However, while I'd rewatch ATLA without issue, I tried to rewatch LoK and I couldn't get through season 1 because the issues I have with it take all enjoyment out of it.
@@PatrixBest I just recently finished the first season and I can agree with you. Is there any reason for me to continue watching the rest of thr series?
@@vhancliffordpadua9416 honestly season 2 kinda shows you how the lion turtle was able to teach anng how to take away the fire lords bending. It's honestly the best part of season 2 in my opinion and they also bring back a fan favorite in those episodes
@@vhancliffordpadua9416 Season 2 is the worst because it completely destroys the lore of the Avatar itself while also basically destroying everything you liked about ATLA. Season 3 ain't much better. Season 4 might be worth watching, but so much shit happened in 2 and 3 that skipping them and going right to 4 will be confusing as fuck
@@vhancliffordpadua9416 finish the rest of the show. You can't form a complete opinion of the show without watching the whole thing. Also season 3 is dope
Me too. Love how they start off by portraying the Gaang as these legendary historical figures, then the matter-of-fact reveal that Aang has a son, and THEN the gut punch of Aang passing away. It's a lot to take in , but a really epic set-up for a sequel series.
Which is quite similar to how Korra is as a character. Goes hard charging into things at first. Thinks she's ready and over confident. Then grows only to have everything collapse in on her at once. Retools her understanding of purpose and then reaches beyond what she believed her limits are.
so basically season 1 was good, season 2 was below average (main villain was trash and that janora scene has to go), and you can argue season 3 and season 4 was average if not higher
In case you guys haven’t noticed, they made Korra the exact opposite of Aang. She’s a girl, she knows how to bend all elements except for air, and she is a lot more impatient and tries to rush things. And btw it should’ve been pretty obvious that Aang died because there can’t be two avatars at once
@@Alex-pd6xt He's not saying Aang is dead as a result of Korra being alive, he's saying Aang would have to be dead for Korra to be alive. A new Avatar is born the moment the previous one dies. If Korra is the new Avatar then you know Aang is dead. At least that's what I saw.
A lot of people are like "where did all this tech come from" but it actually mirrors our world. From 1850-1920 we had a similar tech boom. And keep in mind they have like magical element powers. So it isn't that far off they progress at a similar pace to us
Its just odd and slightly hard to suspend disbelief when from the time of past avatars we have seen to the end of the 100 year war with Aang, much of their civilization remained virtually unchanged. Same clothes, same tech more or less.
RecoveringChristian You’re right, but at the same time, the fire nation DID make serious progress during that time, and now they’ve shared it with the world. Plus it’s the first time the nations are actually working together, so it makes sense that their rigid traditions and cultures would be quickly blended and stuff. Might be a bit quick though lol.
If you think about it denim jeans were invented in 1873. And we still wear those. And electrical lights a few years later And not all tech booms spread equally. Think of the rural areas of america that wouldn't have electricity until the 30s or later. The major hubs, ba sing se or the capital of the fire nation, would be far more advanced than a small farming village or a fishing village like Kyoshi was. That said the comics have a good bit where the Southern Water Tribe is being used to drill for oil and they aren't very happy with being exploited by the other nations
@@reisjames1 there's 1 thing I hoped they would address. But we're not there yet and maybe never will be. Greivances and reparations from the fire nation to everyone else. It seems like they have a better handle on their bureaucracy so maybe....
3:09 'Clearly mentioned that Aang is dead' Imon: "That's sad." 5:29 'Tenzin who resembles his father being mentioned as deceased earlier shows up' Also Imon: "Is that Aang?"
The problem wasn't with TLOK but with a part of the fandom that expected TLOK to be an step by step TLA, and thank God it wasn't. Both shows are great In their own way. Just don't listen to the haters, go with a open mind and I'm sure you guys will have a good time watching TLOK
@@SolidSnake240 for me this is the one thing where TLA is trully superior, In TLA they developed the others from team Avatar better than in TLOK . But in TLA they have the double of episodes per season to do that and knowing that Nick really fight against the show since the very beginning, making the creators do hard choices in the spot and The fact even still TLOK give us a solid character development for the protagonist, expand the world and lore, talk about important topics that mirrors our society and make a real good, responsible and true representation of mental illness
@メープル boo you hater, I could actually do a goddamn article about every character development on TLOK to the most deep to the most meh but you still will hate because you're just a boring hater and haters gonna hate no matter what. Peace ✌️
@メープル I've personally never gone to reaction videos of shows which I find boring to tell people who find it interesting my opinion. Can I ask what you get out of this? Depending on your answer, I might try it, who knows?
I find the reason many didn't like Korra as a character. Is because we have at one point been Korra, or at least known someone who's like her. Aang was what we considered ourselves to be and want others to strive to be, as he's ideal. Though if you actually stop and consider: are there more Korra's out there or Aangs? LOK as a series is different from ATLA, because it doesn't have a defined destination and journey from the outset. Its about watching the focal point grow, which is why I consider Korra to be this eras Zuko. In how she has to figure a way to her rightful path.
I totally agree, we wanted to be Aang but the truth is we are Korra :D love that. I hated Korra on my first watching but after multiple re-watching of ATLA and TLOK (along with some good YT reactors who shares insightful breakdown of each episodes) I realized lately that I really enjoyed TLOK more than ATLA (hides)
i feel like a big part of the korra hate comes from season 2 where she was rlly childish and annoying and kept repeating the same mistakes. but to be fair that whole season is a bit wonky.
Honestly one of my favorite things about Korra is the fighting techniques they use in the show. It’s some crazy animation martial arts. Y’all are gonna love it
LOK gets a bad rep mainly for things that are more or less out of the creators control (I won't say what for fear of spoiling). All I'll say is for this series they wanted to take it in a different direction and where crippled by a lot studio shenanigans getting in the way. So try to keep an open mind about it is all I'm saying. :)
It's true that a big reason for LOK's shortcommings is down to things out of the creators hands, but sadly that doesn't mean the shortcommings are not there and that people can't critisize this show for it. Sure, we shouldn't just critisize the writers but we can critisize the show as a whole
The reason I have a problem with legend of Korea is the ways they completely changed the lore of avater. I dont mind if they make a new avater that's just the nature of the show, but it is better if they add and not change. The ending was so unnecessary
@@samndukwe6127 I always looked at it as expanding upon the known lore. Basically, what we learned about... the 'revisions' in question, was what THEY knew at the time of ATLA. It's not far-fetched to think that an Avatar long ago had something happen to them that severed their connection with their previous Avatars. And, over the years, that event, and the collective world's knowledge(essentially) of everything preceeding it, were forgotten over the years. Without getting into specifics, I always viewed the revisions in question to be more of an expanse on the lore rather than a rewriting.
@@BhBc8f8 the animals didn't teach humans bending (or the moon in one case), LoK says the lion turtles did it all - bloodbending doesn't take the full moon or any martial arts forms - in fact, very little of the bending seems to require forms anymore - nearly everyone can do the advanced forms of bending even tho only 70 years have passed since the _millenia_ of history and learning from the original series - you no longer need to be blind to perceive the impurities in the metal that toph bent - you no longer need to be taught bending at all, cos apparently korra and zaheer just kind of learned it in some offscreen way, korra even as a toddler - you no longer need to have any conscious awareness of rules or procedures because the series constantly uses them as nothing but a road-block to korra's learning (this being an almost exact opposite of the original) the list is kind of never-ending really, to the point i'm not entirely sure why they even used the franchise name apart from that they wanted to coast through on their established fanbase with little effort or thought put in
The time jump feels a bit weird at first... but it kinda makes sense. The Fire Nation was well into its industrial revolution in ATLA. Once the war ended and technology was shared between the nations it would make sense that they started to develop into a more industrial world... Feels weird but does actually work I think.
Please be patient with Korra. Her growth over the course of the series is one of the show's highlights! a lot of people hate on her because of her occasional dumb/hotheaded teenager moments and it makes me sad :(
Kind of a problem when her character development resets every season. Annoying to see her learn her lesson at the end of the season only for her return being a petulant child the next.
I personally like Korra so much more than the ATLA cause of the darker themes, villians, fight scenes, and korra's overall character growth throughout the series. So glad you guys are giving it a shot!
One thing I really like is really how bending has evolved. In aang's time, it was a lot more fluid and natural. While for korra, its still fluid but there's a lot of added force to bending. Really amazing to see their inspiration from martial arts in the way they bend for both. A lot that was completely lost in the damn live action movie.
I actually really enjoyed korra. I didn't really have any problems with it and the only time I didn't really care for what was going on was the 1st half of season 2
U can’t tell me that the homeless guy isn’t related to doc that dude from the fire nation village on the river The way Korra was excited when they said she could start air bending training then she collected herself and bowed Mirrors aang when he was jumping around excited when he was getting trained fire bending by jeong jeong
Futuristic isn't the best term to use, it's more Steampunk. Think of it as a blend of Industrial London with hints of modern technology. Korra has really gotten better amongst ATLA fans, the hate it gets now is a lot more justified compared to when it was first released (ugh it was terrible to be a fan then) Can't wait for more & wish you all well, this show definitely is a journey!
Toph: Do you really think friendships could last more than ONE lifetime? Sokka: I don't see why not. Aang & Toph Beifong Tenzin & Lin Beifong Jinora & Opal Beifong Avatar Aang & Toph & Avatar Korra
i've seen a lot of people react to this show and it's always the same thing, people keep comparing it to ATLA but i'm excited to see you girls react to this because i genuinely feel like you would enjoy this a lot. the storyline is a bit more on the YA side with the angst and "romance" but it's still a cool show and i love the villains, amon is one of my faves. some important things to note about the behind the scenes aspect is that this show was originally going to have one season and that was it but nick ordered one more season thinking that was it. i believe seasons 3 and 4 were ordered together, i'm sure someone will correct me. but yeah, just something to know as you watch the show.
The Benders vs nonbenders thing is actually pretty interesting. It's due to both the 100 year war (wherein an homicidal bender family almost took over the world, and an all-bender organization brainwashed a whole nation-state including it's king), and the technological revolution brought with the war giving nonbenders the ability to do things previously only benders could do. Benders were both less trusted following the war, and less needed. But they were still in charge of most institutions and governments, so that made for some tension.
From what I understand the executives at Nickelodeon kept screwing around with the creators. They never knew if they were going to get another season so each season is pretty much standalone. They weren't able to weave a four season storyline like in Avatar.
If at any point you both think this series isn't doing it for you: DON'T STOP. Korra is different than the Last Airbender and the second half is considered the best part of the series, so stick with it!
@@NightCM718 It's very annoying to go through the entire first half to get to the good part and it's not even certain that they will like the good part. If they feel like giving up, they should feel free to do so.
Alot of people who hate Korra i feel like are just biased towards aang, and people say to not watch the show and get political, when really the entire Avatar series is political, it is meant for kids and teens to be educated and understand some of the real world problems we have. The whole thing is political!🤷♂️
I think you will enjoy. Korra was ahead of her time and many ppl watched it when they were younger. It tackles a lot of more mature themes while expanding the lore incredibly
Some people don’t like Legend of Korra because it isn’t The Last Airbender, but it really is a great story throughout it all. I hope you two love it like I do.
Personally, I liked legend of korra as I got older. When I was a kid, I did not understand her struggles and just judged it negatively. Now, I appreciate it much more. Also, try to go in with an open mind, if you think it is going to be exactly like ATLA, you are not going to enjoy it as much. Both series have their pros and cons but overall it is great watch.
KORRA!!! You hath earned my sub. I really enjoyed this show. The era is one of my favorites and as you said the music is so good. Enjoy the show ladies.
For reference, there are a few things that bother people about LoK. The big one being that it was unfortunately a botched production, they wrote it for one season and then were told last minute that they had to do a whole show, so basically the whole second season was shoehorned in at the last second. There were also barriers to the creative process, they wanted each avatar to feel unique so they went out of their way to do as much differently for Korra as they possibly could. While that sounds like a noble pursuit, the reality is that ATLA was a masterclass in writing, voice acting, sound design, art direction, character development... really just every aspect of production, and as a result, LoK felt lacking in many of those departments overall. They also took pretty bold liberties with the character of Korra herself, but thats a whole other and far more subjective conversation. Overall, theres a lot to love as well as things to nitpick. Hopefully you guys enjoy the ride
Just a headsup, when Jinora asks Katara the story about Zuko's mom, the comics for that hadn't yet been written or published yet. So when Korra first premiered, everybody was basically annoyed when Ikki cock-blocked us from that story. XD If you are getting into the comics, as some of your followers might be suggesting to you, the order of the comics that takes place directly after A:TLA is; The Promise, The Search, The Rift Smoke & Shadow, North & South, and the recently published Imbalance comics.
Don't know if you guys know yet but Asami is the same actor that plays Princess Yue from the live-action. ( And no this is not a spoiler as they're already way ahead)
I hate how you're having to go into this with so many people giving you the impression that this show is in any way "bad". Kind of unavoidable though I guess. It might not be as overall fantastic as ATLA, but really what show is? I'd still say Korra is better than most other shows in its genre regardless. Hell I would even go as far as to say while the lows in this show are lower than ATLA's, the highs are also higher, and Book 3 of Korra in particular is better than any book in ATLA. Bold statement but im sticking to it. If you loved ATLA, then you'll love Korra as well, it's as simple as that. :) You're in for a great time.
If I had to rate my favorite books in the entire franchise from best to worst it'd be: Book 3 ATLA Book 3 LOK Book 2 ATLA Book 4 LOK Book 1 LOK Book 1 ATLA And considering that ATLA book 1 is still on of the best things on TV, I'd say every book in the franchise is a pretty solid viewing experience.
i agree. it's so annoying how people continue to flock reaction videos to talk about how much they don't like this show when they could just let them watch it and decide on their own. they enjoyed ATLA a lot and to me that's reason enough to continue because that's why i watched LOK and i enjoyed it. it's hardly the worst thing to ever happen to my favorite fandom things as we've seen in game of thrones and star wars.
@@meezemusic but when they feel the need to comment on every single episode about how much they dislike it. i've seen this happen on so many reaction channels like blind wave, the normies, etc. these people are going to post on every single episode about how much korra sucks compared to aang lmao
The setting and time period for this show is great. 100 years of war halted any kind of industrial advancement and then about 80ish years of the world working together to get here
if they had let the creators write and prepare for four seasons it would have been way more epic. sadly they boxed them in to one season only and fucked them on season 4 😭
Imma reffer you to another reactor who does a good juob at breaking down why the legend of Korra's writting is alot better and deeper then you can comprehend his name is GoodwinTV go look him up he's the wisest reactor on youtube im not even joking about that he opened my eyes to soo much
People have always said it's to unrealistic that they advanced so much in machinery/technology. But even in ATLA they had warballoons, tanks, airships, submarines, the giant drill etc. It's about 70 years later so it makes sense. I mean look at how our world was 70 years ago vs now.
I believe that they should continue to react to the series even if the comments are varied. The series didn't liked many fans but it has very cool and exciting moments!
Straight up, seasons 1 and 3 are incredible. Season 2 had extreme highs and extreme lows. Season 4 was pretty good. An overall good series, but not on the same level as ATLA. I'll be very interested to see what you guys think about it
Season 1 started great but then falls apart a bit midway thru. Season 3 is great but they made the villains way too OP just for awe factor when they should've instead just developed the characters better (Zaheer was perfect tho). Season 2 has highs and lows as you mentioned, though more lows if we're being honest. And S4 was good but clearly rushed, since it was in fact actually rushed.
@@larryvos4377 I agree with what you have to say for seasons 2 and 4, but i really enjoyed all of seasons 1 and 3. Obviously nothing on par with ATLA, but still really good.
@@lamarjrrj wait wait wait, you mean to tell me that my own personal thoughts on each season is an opinion? Damn so much for all the scientific studies I posted and the works cited where I was trying to pass it off as some sort of objective truth. Thank you so much for clarifying that my opinion is in fact an opinion. No one in the world would have understood that if it weren’t for you!
I've always loved how futuristic this is because it's similar to our world, it wasn't long till we had cars and planes. Plus the fire nation was already more advanced than other nations so it's only natural for them to industrialize quickly.
This is gonna be controversial but I actually love this show more than Avatar. As much as I love Aang and his story I felt more connected to Korra and she is now one of my favorite female protagonists in any form of media. Literally the first thing we hear her say is “I’m the Avatar now, you gotta deal with it!” She is almost like a fusion of Goku, Aloy from Horizon Zero Dawn, and Ahsoka, Rey and Luke from Star Wars. Starting off as a talented, confident but naive girl wanting to run into danger and stop the villains by fighting them head on, then learning from her mistakes and growing from a girl to a woman. And the bold step of takings the setting of the show from ancient Asian times to something like the early 40’s. What other shows would take that much of a risk?!?!
The series is confirmed to take place 70 YEARS after The Last Airbender, and Korra is 17 when she comes to Republic City in Episode 1. In the same episode, Tenzin is 51 when we meet him. So that makes Katarra 84ish when we see her in Episode 1, while during the same time Toph would be around 82/83, and Zuko about 86 or 87, depending on their exact birth dates. It also means Aang died 17 years ago when he was 65 or 66 (and when Tenzin was 34), which I assume means he died in battle or while saving someone.
I would love for you guys to read the comics avatar the last air bender: the promise and the search so that you could know what happened between avatar the last air bender and TLOK even if it’s after the series plz react to it btw great reaction 😁
without spoilers: there is a facet of season 1 barely anyone likes and it's easy to figure out when youre in it. It's not deal breaking but its grating. It never really goes away but it becomes MUCH less prominent as seasons go on. but hey maybe youll be okay with it! looking forward to more reactions
When Tenzin, Pema, and their children arrive in the Southern Water Tribe, Jinora and Ikki dismount their bison via an airbending technique known as the air scooter, a move invented by their paternal grandfather, Avatar Aang. At the end of the episode, Jinora and Ikki come gliding in using traditional Air Nomad gliders. The way Katara discovered Korra leaving the Southern Water Tribe is similar to the way Kanna discovered Katara and Sokka leaving in the second episode of the original series. In both cases, a young person is leaving, somehow affecting the Avatar, and the elder lets them go. When Korra arrives in Republic City and sees the great statue of Avatar Aang for the first time, she stares at it just like Aang stared at the statue of Avatar Roku at the Southern Air Temple. A schematic for a mecha tank can be seen on the wall during the Lieutenant's conversation with Amon at the end of the episode. Jinora refers to Katara by the name "Gran Gran", which is the term that Sokka and Katara used to refer to Kanna. When talking to Katara, Jinora asks what happened to Zuko's mother.
Glad your getting into Korra, I love the series and over the years I've actually come to love it even more than the original show. That's my take and I'm sticking by it. Have fun and enjoy the ride :)
Originally the writers only planned one season and wanted LoK to be kind of a mini epilogue series that concludes the main story. They were forced to come up with new seasons after fans demanded more. This is why season 2-4 felt a bit uninspired and lazily written sometimes. In my opinion they should've ended it after the first season.
legend of korra takes place 70 years after avatar the last airbender! so its not surprising that technology and all other things has evolved drastically. book1 is so good! book2 is also good, but it was a little rushed etc. YOU WILL 120% ENJOY BOOK 3 & 4 !!!!!!!!!!! CANNOT WAIT TO REWATCH THIS WITH YOU BOTH !!!!!!!!!!
Here's a spoiler-free explanation of why TLoK got such mixed reactions from the fanbase: The plot/characters are simply not as tightly written as in ATLA, but it's not really the fault of the writers. Originally, Nickelodeon only gave the showrunners a *single* season to start off with; as a result, all the plot and character development wraps up pretty neatly at the end. So then Nickelodeon gave them a *second* season. This put the writers in the position of having to scramble to "roll back" a lot of character developments and it was pretty jarring when compared against the unassailable near-perfection of ATLA pacing. At the end, they wrap up this new "final" season, and everything is fine. Then Nickelodeon gives them two *more* seasons, so they have to have to scramble *again*. Thankfully, these final two seasons are closer to the original, since they actually got them both at once. Nickelodeon tried to fuck them over again, though, since they switched the show to streaming-only *mid-season*, without telling anyone in advance.

The creators confirmed that Aang died ‘young’ at 66 because he’d been alive for 165 years when you account for his ice nap.
wouldn’t it be 178? 12 + 100 on ice and 66 after atla

even the weakest villain in this is better than guess-im-gonna-burn-the-earth-or-whatever-man
Definitely!!

I really hope zaheer breaks out of prison in the comics.
Every Avatar reactor who loved A:TLA, was also told by a mixed audience not to watch Korra, but when they did decide to watch it anyway...they thoroughly enjoyed the series as well!
It'll be good!
I'll say straight up that I don't like LoK one bit, but I wouldn't tell someone not to watch it. They can watch it and make it their own mind, hell I'll even admit that the first time I watched it, I did enjoy it to some degree, and if reactors can get that experience too, to just go through it and have a good time, then let them.
However, while I'd rewatch ATLA without issue, I tried to rewatch LoK and I couldn't get through season 1 because the issues I have with it take all enjoyment out of it.
@@PatrixBest I just recently finished the first season and I can agree with you. Is there any reason for me to continue watching the rest of thr series?
@@vhancliffordpadua9416 honestly season 2 kinda shows you how the lion turtle was able to teach anng how to take away the fire lords bending. It's honestly the best part of season 2 in my opinion and they also bring back a fan favorite in those episodes
@@vhancliffordpadua9416 Season 2 is the worst because it completely destroys the lore of the Avatar itself while also basically destroying everything you liked about ATLA.
Season 3 ain't much better. Season 4 might be worth watching, but so much shit happened in 2 and 3 that skipping them and going right to 4 will be confusing as fuck
@@vhancliffordpadua9416 finish the rest of the show. You can't form a complete opinion of the show without watching the whole thing. Also season 3 is dope
That intro to the first episode always gives me chills.
Me too. Love how they start off by portraying the Gaang as these legendary historical figures, then the matter-of-fact reveal that Aang has a son, and THEN the gut punch of Aang passing away. It's a lot to take in , but a really epic set-up for a sequel series.
ikr it's so beautiful
This series starts of running, trips over, gets back up and sprints full speed to the finish line.. that's how I feel about it anyways
Which is quite similar to how Korra is as a character. Goes hard charging into things at first. Thinks she's ready and over confident. Then grows only to have everything collapse in on her at once. Retools her understanding of purpose and then reaches beyond what she believed her limits are.
Perfect encapsulation of how I felt tbh
Exactly
so basically season 1 was good, season 2 was below average (main villain was trash and that janora scene has to go), and you can argue season 3 and season 4 was average if not higher
More like this series falls, gets back up, falls again, and then does it's own thing and doesn't even finish the race
love how you guys are in sync with yaboyroshi with the avatar episodes lol
and almost shredderftw since hes only on ep 2 of korra, and letts react is almost done with atla finale!
Well on Patreon Roshi is already done with the series
I loved their ATLA finale episode! Can't wait to see what kinda stuff Sheera predicts right away again.
@@crackpiperson i watch the same channels as you 👍🏻
Yaboyroshi finished Korra already on Patreon
In case you guys haven’t noticed, they made Korra the exact opposite of Aang. She’s a girl, she knows how to bend all elements except for air, and she is a lot more impatient and tries to rush things.
And btw it should’ve been pretty obvious that Aang died because there can’t be two avatars at once
That’s not why aang died though. He died because he spent so much time in that iceberg.
@@Alex-pd6xt yeah that sapped his energy that's why he died relatively young
@@arturbernardo7335 SPOILERS
@@Alex-pd6xt He's not saying Aang is dead as a result of Korra being alive, he's saying Aang would have to be dead for Korra to be alive. A new Avatar is born the moment the previous one dies. If Korra is the new Avatar then you know Aang is dead. At least that's what I saw.
@@arturbernardo7335 Why spoil?
A lot of people are like "where did all this tech come from" but it actually mirrors our world. From 1850-1920 we had a similar tech boom. And keep in mind they have like magical element powers. So it isn't that far off they progress at a similar pace to us
Not to mention they already had rather advanced technology in the last Airbender, like the fire nation ships
Its just odd and slightly hard to suspend disbelief when from the time of past avatars we have seen to the end of the 100 year war with Aang, much of their civilization remained virtually unchanged. Same clothes, same tech more or less.
RecoveringChristian You’re right, but at the same time, the fire nation DID make serious progress during that time, and now they’ve shared it with the world. Plus it’s the first time the nations are actually working together, so it makes sense that their rigid traditions and cultures would be quickly blended and stuff. Might be a bit quick though lol.
If you think about it denim jeans were invented in 1873. And we still wear those. And electrical lights a few years later
And not all tech booms spread equally. Think of the rural areas of america that wouldn't have electricity until the 30s or later.
The major hubs, ba sing se or the capital of the fire nation, would be far more advanced than a small farming village or a fishing village like Kyoshi was.
That said the comics have a good bit where the Southern Water Tribe is being used to drill for oil and they aren't very happy with being exploited by the other nations
@@reisjames1 there's 1 thing I hoped they would address. But we're not there yet and maybe never will be. Greivances and reparations from the fire nation to everyone else. It seems like they have a better handle on their bureaucracy so maybe....
3:09 'Clearly mentioned that Aang is dead'
Imon: "That's sad."
5:29 'Tenzin who resembles his father being mentioned as deceased earlier shows up'
Also Imon: "Is that Aang?"
Almost as bad as the white lotus guy and Katara.
"Do you think she's ready, Master Katara?"
"Is that Katara?"
Like, bruh
Fun fact: the voice actor for amon (steve blum) is also the voice of spike spiegel from cowboy bebop.
That's where I've heard him before!
He is also the voice actor for Wolverine in various media
He voiced Orochimaru and Zabuza in English dub Naruto too
The problem wasn't with TLOK but with a part of the fandom that expected TLOK to be an step by step TLA, and thank God it wasn't. Both shows are great In their own way.
Just don't listen to the haters, go with a open mind and I'm sure you guys will have a good time watching TLOK
Season 2 is what caused people to absolutely hate the Kora show
For me it was the writing and i didn't care for the main group all that much. It got better but I still prefer Last Airbender
Seasons 1 and 3 were my favorite
@@SolidSnake240 for me this is the one thing where TLA is trully superior, In TLA they developed the others from team Avatar better than in TLOK . But in TLA they have the double of episodes per season to do that and knowing that Nick really fight against the show since the very beginning, making the creators do hard choices in the spot and The fact even still TLOK give us a solid character development for the protagonist, expand the world and lore, talk about important topics that mirrors our society and make a real good, responsible and true representation of mental illness
@メープル boo you hater,
I could actually do a goddamn article about every character development on TLOK to the most deep to the most meh but you still will hate because you're just a boring hater and haters gonna hate no matter what.
Peace ✌️
Just keep in mind this is no longer Aang's story, it's Korra's.
Technically it still is his story because Korra is him reincarnated minus the personality
@@quentinjones6877 True, but it's still not a sequel as Korra and Aang are very different people

@@osiris4883 same
I find the reason many didn't like Korra as a character. Is because we have at one point been Korra, or at least known someone who's like her. Aang was what we considered ourselves to be and want others to strive to be, as he's ideal. Though if you actually stop and consider: are there more Korra's out there or Aangs? LOK as a series is different from ATLA, because it doesn't have a defined destination and journey from the outset. Its about watching the focal point grow, which is why I consider Korra to be this eras Zuko. In how she has to figure a way to her rightful path.
Yeah.. she's definitely a fairly realistic character
I totally agree, we wanted to be Aang but the truth is we are Korra :D love that. I hated Korra on my first watching but after multiple re-watching of ATLA and TLOK (along with some good YT reactors who shares insightful breakdown of each episodes) I realized lately that I really enjoyed TLOK more than ATLA (hides)
i feel like a big part of the korra hate comes from season 2 where she was rlly childish and annoying and kept repeating the same mistakes. but to be fair that whole season is a bit wonky.
Yeah, it's like wanting to be the cool rival anime character but having traits similar to the main anime character
@@sakunowinryrosette sameee I like korra way more
Im sure Katara could still kick butt in her 80s, Boomy was in his 100s when he fought Aang
Not everyone is the same
Bumi was still fighting a war in his old age, Katara wasn't
Bumi is built different
Earthbenders r something else man...first bumi and now a certain someone...don't wanna spoil
Not everyone age the same
Pakku in his 80s
lmaoo the Amon/Imon part
Y’all will definitely love this show. It has the best villain of both shows imo
Honestly one of my favorite things about Korra is the fighting techniques they use in the show. It’s some crazy animation martial arts. Y’all are gonna love it
Imon: so Katara’s alive still....?
Bruh I think Aunt Wu foretold Katara would meet her great great grandkid at some point. Katara ain’t dying
LOK gets a bad rep mainly for things that are more or less out of the creators control (I won't say what for fear of spoiling). All I'll say is for this series they wanted to take it in a different direction and where crippled by a lot studio shenanigans getting in the way. So try to keep an open mind about it is all I'm saying. :)
It's true that a big reason for LOK's shortcommings is down to things out of the creators hands, but sadly that doesn't mean the shortcommings are not there and that people can't critisize this show for it. Sure, we shouldn't just critisize the writers but we can critisize the show as a whole
The reason I have a problem with legend of Korea is the ways they completely changed the lore of avater. I dont mind if they make a new avater that's just the nature of the show, but it is better if they add and not change. The ending was so unnecessary
@@samndukwe6127 I always looked at it as expanding upon the known lore. Basically, what we learned about... the 'revisions' in question, was what THEY knew at the time of ATLA. It's not far-fetched to think that an Avatar long ago had something happen to them that severed their connection with their previous Avatars. And, over the years, that event, and the collective world's knowledge(essentially) of everything preceeding it, were forgotten over the years. Without getting into specifics, I always viewed the revisions in question to be more of an expanse on the lore rather than a rewriting.
@@samndukwe6127 How did they change the lore?
@@BhBc8f8 the animals didn't teach humans bending (or the moon in one case), LoK says the lion turtles did it all
- bloodbending doesn't take the full moon or any martial arts forms
- in fact, very little of the bending seems to require forms anymore
- nearly everyone can do the advanced forms of bending even tho only 70 years have passed since the _millenia_ of history and learning from the original series
- you no longer need to be blind to perceive the impurities in the metal that toph bent
- you no longer need to be taught bending at all, cos apparently korra and zaheer just kind of learned it in some offscreen way, korra even as a toddler
- you no longer need to have any conscious awareness of rules or procedures because the series constantly uses them as nothing but a road-block to korra's learning (this being an almost exact opposite of the original)
the list is kind of never-ending really, to the point i'm not entirely sure why they even used the franchise name apart from that they wanted to coast through on their established fanbase with little effort or thought put in
The time jump feels a bit weird at first... but it kinda makes sense.
The Fire Nation was well into its industrial revolution in ATLA. Once the war ended and technology was shared between the nations it would make sense that they started to develop into a more industrial world...
Feels weird but does actually work I think.
So glad you all decided to start Korra! A lot of people who watch Avatar don't watch this. Thanks guys!
😑
I never finished it.
@@richardnoggin1526
your loss tbh
infernity able but you’re under a reaction to the show? Gtfo

Please be patient with Korra. Her growth over the course of the series is one of the show's highlights!
a lot of people hate on her because of her occasional dumb/hotheaded teenager moments and it makes me sad :(
Aww don’t be sad, here have a taco🌮
she gets better but season 2 is pretty rough for me
Kind of a problem when her character development resets every season. Annoying to see her learn her lesson at the end of the season only for her return being a petulant child the next.
@@bgnin Yea, but if you compare season 1 to season 4 Korra then you see her great devolpement.
@メープル Wow youre soooo funny😑
Tenzin is voiced by none other than JK Simmons.
I personally like Korra so much more than the ATLA cause of the darker themes, villians, fight scenes, and korra's overall character growth throughout the series. So glad you guys are giving it a shot!
One thing I really like is really how bending has evolved. In aang's time, it was a lot more fluid and natural. While for korra, its still fluid but there's a lot of added force to bending.
Really amazing to see their inspiration from martial arts in the way they bend for both. A lot that was completely lost in the damn live action movie.
Atla: I don't think I can break this rock with just airbending...
Lok: Ah, jeez, a angry airbender. My rock hut won't hold....
I just love that after coming through the original Avatar series Imon's strongest shine is for Sokka, the most unlikely of heroes.
I actually really enjoyed korra. I didn't really have any problems with it and the only time I didn't really care for what was going on was the 1st half of season 2
U can’t tell me that the homeless guy isn’t related to doc that dude from the fire nation village on the river
The way Korra was excited when they said she could start air bending training then she collected herself and bowed Mirrors aang when he was jumping around excited when he was getting trained fire bending by jeong jeong
Good catch lol never thought about the homeless guy he really acts like him.
I dont know he reminds me more of Shu , Docs brother we saw also in avatar the last airbender. Hmm lets wait and see 🤔
@@ozanz7649 Nah, nah he's definitely bushi's descendant

The Legend of Korra!!!! Yess!!! Cant wait to review this!
Futuristic isn't the best term to use, it's more Steampunk. Think of it as a blend of Industrial London with hints of modern technology.
Korra has really gotten better amongst ATLA fans, the hate it gets now is a lot more justified compared to when it was first released (ugh it was terrible to be a fan then)
Can't wait for more & wish you all well, this show definitely is a journey!

The reason it's so advanced in comparison is that all the nations are working together, so each individual advantage is now one working piece
i've seen a lot of people react to this show and it's always the same thing, people keep comparing it to ATLA but i'm excited to see you girls react to this because i genuinely feel like you would enjoy this a lot. the storyline is a bit more on the YA side with the angst and "romance" but it's still a cool show and i love the villains, amon is one of my faves.
some important things to note about the behind the scenes aspect is that this show was originally going to have one season and that was it but nick ordered one more season thinking that was it. i believe seasons 3 and 4 were ordered together, i'm sure someone will correct me. but yeah, just something to know as you watch the show.
The Benders vs nonbenders thing is actually pretty interesting. It's due to both the 100 year war (wherein an homicidal bender family almost took over the world, and an all-bender organization brainwashed a whole nation-state including it's king), and the technological revolution brought with the war giving nonbenders the ability to do things previously only benders could do.
Benders were both less trusted following the war, and less needed. But they were still in charge of most institutions and governments, so that made for some tension.
From what I understand the executives at Nickelodeon kept screwing around with the creators. They never knew if they were going to get another season so each season is pretty much standalone. They weren't able to weave a four season storyline like in Avatar.
If at any point you both think this series isn't doing it for you: DON'T STOP. Korra is different than the Last Airbender and the second half is considered the best part of the series, so stick with it!
Why shouldn't they stop if they feel like it?
@@Eleni1002 He's just saying to give it a chance because the second half is better.
@@NightCM718 It's very annoying to go through the entire first half to get to the good part and it's not even certain that they will like the good part. If they feel like giving up, they should feel free to do so.

The whole thing is political!🤷♂️

Well apparently that old rumour's been "debunked" and that he and Suki moved to the suburbs according to the creators
Some people don’t like Legend of Korra because it isn’t The Last Airbender, but it really is a great story throughout it all. I hope you two love it like I do.
Personally, I liked legend of korra as I got older. When I was a kid, I did not understand her struggles and just judged it negatively. Now, I appreciate it much more. Also, try to go in with an open mind, if you think it is going to be exactly like ATLA, you are not going to enjoy it as much. Both series have their pros and cons but overall it is great watch.
KORRA!!! You hath earned my sub. I really enjoyed this show. The era is one of my favorites and as you said the music is so good. Enjoy the show ladies.
For reference, there are a few things that bother people about LoK. The big one being that it was unfortunately a botched production, they wrote it for one season and then were told last minute that they had to do a whole show, so basically the whole second season was shoehorned in at the last second.
There were also barriers to the creative process, they wanted each avatar to feel unique so they went out of their way to do as much differently for Korra as they possibly could. While that sounds like a noble pursuit, the reality is that ATLA was a masterclass in writing, voice acting, sound design, art direction, character development... really just every aspect of production, and as a result, LoK felt lacking in many of those departments overall.
They also took pretty bold liberties with the character of Korra herself, but thats a whole other and far more subjective conversation.
Overall, theres a lot to love as well as things to nitpick. Hopefully you guys enjoy the ride
Just a headsup, when Jinora asks Katara the story about Zuko's mom, the comics for that hadn't yet been written or published yet.
So when Korra first premiered, everybody was basically annoyed when Ikki cock-blocked us from that story. XD
If you are getting into the comics, as some of your followers might be suggesting to you, the order of the comics that takes place directly after A:TLA is; The Promise, The Search, The Rift Smoke & Shadow, North & South, and the recently published Imbalance comics.
Korra is a pretty good show, I just hate all the love triangles, but for me season 3 was my favourite, the story and villain were just too badass
Woah I did not expect this so quickly...well you guys are gonna have a blast with this for sure
I'm glad you decided to react to LOK! It's a great show.
Narrator: Earth, Fire, Air, Water.
Me: All that's left is heart and you got Captain Planet.
Tbh I still wished we got a show with Aang and the gang as adults since the first show focused on them as kids.
Don't know if you guys know yet but Asami is the same actor that plays Princess Yue from the live-action. ( And no this is not a spoiler as they're already way ahead)
Tenzin has Katara’s narrating skills
6:56 “Where’s Sokka?”
I don’t think I’ve ever heard such sad words
I hate how you're having to go into this with so many people giving you the impression that this show is in any way "bad". Kind of unavoidable though I guess. It might not be as overall fantastic as ATLA, but really what show is? I'd still say Korra is better than most other shows in its genre regardless. Hell I would even go as far as to say while the lows in this show are lower than ATLA's, the highs are also higher, and Book 3 of Korra in particular is better than any book in ATLA. Bold statement but im sticking to it.
If you loved ATLA, then you'll love Korra as well, it's as simple as that. :) You're in for a great time.
It keeps their expectations low.
Agreedddd
If I had to rate my favorite books in the entire franchise from best to worst it'd be:
Book 3 ATLA
Book 3 LOK
Book 2 ATLA
Book 4 LOK
Book 1 LOK
Book 1 ATLA
And considering that ATLA book 1 is still on of the best things on TV, I'd say every book in the franchise is a pretty solid viewing experience.
i agree. it's so annoying how people continue to flock reaction videos to talk about how much they don't like this show when they could just let them watch it and decide on their own. they enjoyed ATLA a lot and to me that's reason enough to continue because that's why i watched LOK and i enjoyed it. it's hardly the worst thing to ever happen to my favorite fandom things as we've seen in game of thrones and star wars.
@@meezemusic but when they feel the need to comment on every single episode about how much they dislike it. i've seen this happen on so many reaction channels like blind wave, the normies, etc. these people are going to post on every single episode about how much korra sucks compared to aang lmao
I saw ATLA multiple times but actually I've never watched Korra. You girls are going to make me finally watch it!
Yes! Legend of Korra!!!! Y’all are gonna love it!!!
10:54 "That's a lot of damage!" Getting flextape flash backs here 😂
Well technically aangs story would be ancient history to them seeing as this takes place 70 years after the events of the last Airbender
The setting and time period for this show is great. 100 years of war halted any kind of industrial advancement and then about 80ish years of the world working together to get here
Korra has O-K writing but really good villains. Season 3 is on par with ATLA.
Without studio meddling season four would have too
if they had let the creators write and prepare for four seasons it would have been way more epic. sadly they boxed them in to one season only and fucked them on season 4 😭
Imma reffer you to another reactor who does a good juob at breaking down why the legend of Korra's writting is alot better and deeper then you can comprehend his name is GoodwinTV go look him up he's the wisest reactor on youtube im not even joking about that he opened my eyes to soo much
@@homunculus7 I agree with this man, easily one of the best reactors outhere.
@@Drake00000010 sure and doesn’t change the fact that a lot of people loved it including myself. Can’t change that!
People have always said it's to unrealistic that they advanced so much in machinery/technology. But even in ATLA they had warballoons, tanks, airships, submarines, the giant drill etc. It's about 70 years later so it makes sense. I mean look at how our world was 70 years ago vs now.
Time for Korra! Your in for a treat!
I personally love Korra, I've seen it more than half a dozen times.
It's much darker than ATLA.
@メープル the smiley face just makes you seem creepy tbh
Alot of ppl hate on this show, but I think it's pretty great. Glad you are watching it
"where is sokka?" about that...
"I hope there's a character like Sokka." His name is Bolin. :D
I believe that they should continue to react to the series even if the comments are varied.
The series didn't liked many fans but it has very cool and exciting moments!
That moment when you hear the voice of Steve Blum coming out of a character from one of your favorite series.. yeah.. it's all coming together
Straight up, seasons 1 and 3 are incredible. Season 2 had extreme highs and extreme lows. Season 4 was pretty good. An overall good series, but not on the same level as ATLA. I'll be very interested to see what you guys think about it
Season 1 started great but then falls apart a bit midway thru. Season 3 is great but they made the villains way too OP just for awe factor when they should've instead just developed the characters better (Zaheer was perfect tho). Season 2 has highs and lows as you mentioned, though more lows if we're being honest. And S4 was good but clearly rushed, since it was in fact actually rushed.
@@larryvos4377 I agree with what you have to say for seasons 2 and 4, but i really enjoyed all of seasons 1 and 3. Obviously nothing on par with ATLA, but still really good.

@@larryvos4377 that’s your opinion
@@lamarjrrj wait wait wait, you mean to tell me that my own personal thoughts on each season is an opinion?

Thank you so much for clarifying that my opinion is in fact an opinion. No one in the world would have understood that if it weren’t for you!
I've always loved how futuristic this is because it's similar to our world, it wasn't long till we had cars and planes. Plus the fire nation was already more advanced than other nations so it's only natural for them to industrialize quickly.
Four seasons (books) of LoK girls.
I’ve been putting off watching legend of Korea because I’ve been busy at work. looks like I just found my reason to start.
This is gonna be controversial but I actually love this show more than Avatar.
As much as I love Aang and his story I felt more connected to Korra and she is now one of my favorite female protagonists in any form of media. Literally the first thing we hear her say is “I’m the Avatar now, you gotta deal with it!” She is almost like a fusion of Goku, Aloy from Horizon Zero Dawn, and Ahsoka, Rey and Luke from Star Wars. Starting off as a talented, confident but naive girl wanting to run into danger and stop the villains by fighting them head on, then learning from her mistakes and growing from a girl to a woman.
And the bold step of takings the setting of the show from ancient Asian times to something like the early 40’s. What other shows would take that much of a risk?!?!
I totally feel that, this hits different and so does ATLA
@メープル "Bitchy moron" Thanks for describing yourself. 😊
wow the opening literally explained that aang died and that the avatar cycle continued, and you legit asked if tenzin was aang.
Oh no Imon's the new villain of the show lol
Well, the names do sound the same even if there aren't spell the same.
Korra rocks! The depth and the issues it deals with are amazing.
I’m glad you’re watching korra. I personally like it more than ATLA
Same. No one can convince me otherwise.
The series is confirmed to take place 70 YEARS after The Last Airbender, and Korra is 17 when she comes to Republic City in Episode 1. In the same episode, Tenzin is 51 when we meet him. So that makes Katarra 84ish when we see her in Episode 1, while during the same time Toph would be around 82/83, and Zuko about 86 or 87, depending on their exact birth dates. It also means Aang died 17 years ago when he was 65 or 66 (and when Tenzin was 34), which I assume means he died in battle or while saving someone.
I’m so excited for y’all to watch Korra, sometimes I think it’s better than ATLA
🤨
Not even close
Nah just because the show is now underrated dosen't mean it's better then atla
I... Actually think you're right
Except for season 3
Season 3 was trash in my opinion
Same.
mid-1800's firenation tech. + 70 years leading to the 1920's isn't even that weird either
I would love for you guys to read the comics avatar the last air bender: the promise and the search so that you could know what happened between avatar the last air bender and TLOK even if it’s after the series plz react to it btw great reaction 😁
without spoilers:
there is a facet of season 1 barely anyone likes and it's easy to figure out when youre in it. It's not deal breaking but its grating. It never really goes away but it becomes MUCH less prominent as seasons go on. but hey maybe youll be okay with it! looking forward to more reactions
When Tenzin, Pema, and their children arrive in the Southern Water Tribe, Jinora and Ikki dismount their bison via an airbending technique known as the air scooter, a move invented by their paternal grandfather, Avatar Aang.
At the end of the episode, Jinora and Ikki come gliding in using traditional Air Nomad gliders.
The way Katara discovered Korra leaving the Southern Water Tribe is similar to the way Kanna discovered Katara and Sokka leaving in the second episode of the original series. In both cases, a young person is leaving, somehow affecting the Avatar, and the elder lets them go.
When Korra arrives in Republic City and sees the great statue of Avatar Aang for the first time, she stares at it just like Aang stared at the statue of Avatar Roku at the Southern Air Temple.
A schematic for a mecha tank can be seen on the wall during the Lieutenant's conversation with Amon at the end of the episode.
Jinora refers to Katara by the name "Gran Gran", which is the term that Sokka and Katara used to refer to Kanna.
When talking to Katara, Jinora asks what happened to Zuko's mother.
Time period makes sense for Korra because with a jump of what like 60yrs? It's now 1920's New York city of the Avatar world
Glad your getting into Korra, I love the series and over the years I've actually come to love it even more than the original show. That's my take and I'm sticking by it. Have fun and enjoy the ride :)
cuz korra is gay i asume
@@Productive_Chad Ahh. Another of your comments. Once again showing your opinions are worthless.
@@curtismurphy6206 Ure such a fucking usless human holy shit
@@Productive_Chad Nope. Not at all. But that's fine too.
People can say all they want about Korra (I personally really like it) but the music is just so insanely good
I understand what they were trying to do I really didn’t like that Korra could do 3 out of the 4 bending techniques it just seemed too easy idk 😐
While different I’d imagine retreading or watching a whole 3 seasons for the avatar to learn the elements AGAIN could burn out
Originally the writers only planned one season and wanted LoK to be kind of a mini epilogue series that concludes the main story. They were forced to come up with new seasons after fans demanded more. This is why season 2-4 felt a bit uninspired and lazily written sometimes. In my opinion they should've ended it after the first season.
@@robbifidelino4654 I suppose but we also have different challenges you know and sub elements that could tread
@@bleetscube4460 and I feel there is no over arching story like in atla
legend of korra takes place 70 years after avatar the last airbender! so its not surprising that technology and all other things has evolved drastically. book1 is so good! book2 is also good, but it was a little rushed etc. YOU WILL 120% ENJOY BOOK 3 & 4 !!!!!!!!!!! CANNOT WAIT TO REWATCH THIS WITH YOU BOTH !!!!!!!!!!
Here's a spoiler-free explanation of why TLoK got such mixed reactions from the fanbase:
The plot/characters are simply not as tightly written as in ATLA, but it's not really the fault of the writers. Originally, Nickelodeon only gave the showrunners a *single* season to start off with; as a result, all the plot and character development wraps up pretty neatly at the end.
So then Nickelodeon gave them a *second* season. This put the writers in the position of having to scramble to "roll back" a lot of character developments and it was pretty jarring when compared against the unassailable near-perfection of ATLA pacing. At the end, they wrap up this new "final" season, and everything is fine.
Then Nickelodeon gives them two *more* seasons, so they have to have to scramble *again*. Thankfully, these final two seasons are closer to the original, since they actually got them both at once.
Nickelodeon tried to fuck them over again, though, since they switched the show to streaming-only *mid-season*, without telling anyone in advance.
