Agree or not, THE LEGEND OF KORRA BOOK 3 is what TLoK Book 1 should've been with Zaheer pulling Amon's string from behind the prison walls with the story arch in TLAB 3-4 Book saga style?
I have watch the show like 5 time I am not joking but your reaction is the best I feel like the first time I watching it I hope you see this comment I am from Lebanon my name is omar
@@Justin-gz3cp yup and when Roku took Aang on a ride on his spirit dragon Aang saw Roku lavabend again, which makes me believe lavabending was at first supposed to be a firebending subset, but who knows.
R u excited for a new Avatat coming in later 2021 early 2022? The creators of ATLA AND LOK created a studio called "Avatar Studio"". A Live Action Theatrical movie is in the wrks right now and coming out next year on "Paramount+". GET READY FOR MUCH MORE AVATAR CONTENT SUCH AS, MOVIES, COMICS, AND PPSSIBLY VIDEO GAMES
@@maximumpotato1239 I disagree with that statement. I think in some ways it may be a similar fighting style. But ultimately, the Dai Li’s fighting style is more direct, synchronized, and powerful.
The dai li is nerfed to the ground in LoK, literally bolin took 2 of them down without breaking a sweat and the last one was defeated by a rookie (yet a prodigy) airbender
I would like to defend Zuko's apparent weakness in this episode. He is an 87-year-old Firebender fighting at night in the North Pole. The fact that he put up a fight at all is impressive.
I guess that’s fair. Still, I was hoping we’d see him perform incredible stuff. I guess I was expecting Ozai-level firebending, but it makes sense that he’s more constrained, since he’s literally got like every disadvantage a firebender can have. But P’li was able to do some crazy stuff within minutes of being free, so idk.
@@a_fine_edition2746 The difference is in their ages. Zaheer's team likely tried to kidnap Korra at night while she was in the South Pole, meaning Zuko faced them 13 years ago in similar conditions as he is facing now.
@@FallenOne669 since they fought before, Ghazan might have learned from a previous mistake. He's a lava bender, the only one at this time and it's incredibly powerful. Yet in this episode he only used earthbending. he didn't give Zuko any advantages, he didn't use lava that would give Zuko an extra source of heat this time, leaving him in the cold with his own fire to use against a much younger earth bender
@@a_fine_edition2746 well, we don't really see P'li bend fire here, except for the moment she blocks the dragons fire at the beginning. She uses combustion bending and we don't really know if combustion bending shares the same disadvantages of normal fire bending.
@@chienkelleher8052 You do realize combustion bending is fire bending right? you need fire in order to do it. And even if it’s cool for scenery that isn’t even the point, my point is that they could’ve imprisoned her anywhere else it doesn’t have to be in a snowy place. Pay attention next time bub 👍
I really like that scene at the end when Tenzin gave the airbenders freedom of choice of what they’d like to do, and that they all decided to join him at the Air Temple. That was a great and wholesome scene.
@@SubzeroBlack68 I don't know if you watched the episode but Tenzin says clearly "we can relocate you somewhere safe". Pretty sure they wouldn't have gone through all that trouble of letting them out just to leave them somewhere random where they could be found. He gave them a fair choice, and I think everyone would feel safer being in the company of Tenzin and the Avatar to be honest
It's also a nice finishing touch when you remember that out of desperation to rebuild a civilization and fulfill a beloved father and past Avatar's dying wish, Tenzin previously tried to complete this goal by force. Him mellowing out and calming down, and presenting free choice, rather than trying to jam Air Nomad culture down their throats was the final touch needed to achieve what comes down to the heart of the matter anyway. Since Air Nomads are a people of freedom, not tied down to any one thing, it is only most fitting and appropriate that if anyone is to join the Air Nomads not by being born into them, it must be because they freely chose and volunteered to do so.
Montana’s reaction to Korra and Asami training scene is pretty much all of us 😂 with that said there are gonna be a lot of *Bi panic: counter* this season and next season.
One thing I love in this episode it that we again get to see how airbending and earthbending are polar opposites with the Dai Li training the new airbenders as earthbenders. It's hit home more by the fact that Kai, the only one to get actual airbending training, is the one who performs the best.
Exactly! You can even see that a few of the airbenders, like the one second furthest back in the second training scene, are even throwing in some other bending techniques, like those used for waterbending and firebending. They're all trying to use the abilities they most understand but can't since the Dai Li aren't providing the fundamental forms needed for airbending.
The reason Zuko isn't as strong is he's in the same conditions that made him no match for Katara from ATLA season 1(outside the fact that he's nearly 90 now).
those who read the comics after ATLA will know how powerful zuko became, there was once he even created the multi-coloured fire column like the dragons to protect his family
@@hx9801 Yes, but remember that at that point he was one of only a few people who knew true firebending from the dragons; once that became mainstream (which he would have done to curb his nation's imperialism), he would have lost that advantage. I.e. his sister was a more powerful firebender than him when neither of them knew true firebending. Once he learned real firebending he became her equal (maybe a bit better). But if she learned true firebending as well, she would exceed him as a firebender again. Honestly, I think that would be interesting to see as well.
You guys are overrating Zuko. Toph is blind and old but able to beat Kuvira’s army. Zuko had a hard time fighting an earthbender, I mean Ghazan’s attack is just throw-a-rock move, not even lava bending.
@@christophercosinas2215 again, the cold played a major factor. Pli couldn't bend AT ALL until the dragon, Druk, attacked her with fire. If Ghazan ha been stupid enough to lavabend and thus warm Zuko up, you bet the Red Lotus wouldn't have survived.
It really would’ve been better for them to keep P’Li’s combustion bending powers a secret up until she took the restraint off. Imagine how much more shocking it would’ve been if Zuko hadn’t revealed she was a sparky sparky boom woman
@@Prince_the_One I’d love that, but Dante basco just doesn’t really sound like an old man, and he voices Iroh II, having two characters with the exact same voice, one being young and the other being an almost-ninety year old man just wouldn’t work. I like the idea a lot though
@@Prince_the_One He's voiced by Avatar Roku's voice actor, his character's grandfather, which I like. Also Dante Basco is already playing General Iroh II.
Fun fact: originally, one of the creators thought of having a skeleton that was supposed to be jet in the room where jinora projects into looking for kai.
@@peters4115 no she actually had arms when she was born cus when you search: “red lotus young” you can see a picture and Ming-Hua is doing the ✌️ (idk if that’s really canon but it really looks like it is)
I can't really explain without spoilers but they made some valid points as well. I think a strength of Korra is how understandable most of the villains' motivations are. Amon and Zaheer both expressed valid concerns with the way society is but obviously took it in the wrong direction
so conscription was legal almost everywhere on irl Earth until very recently. According to Earth Kingdom law the Earth Kingdom has the legal right to conscript their citizens. So breaking into a military base and taking away conscripted soldiers would basically be an act of terrorism or something similar.
Remember how in the boiling rock episodes they said that after a few hours in the cooling chamber you can't fire bend for a week or so? P'Li was in an ice prison for 15 years and she only needed one fire blast from Druk to regain her full fire bending. That's how powerfull she is.
Aang actually did do some astral projection in that episode with Hei Bai... Only he didn't realize he was doing it then, either he didn't know how to do it on command after that or just never had a reason to do it again in the series. both Jinora and Aang are very spiritually gifted airbenders so it tracks..
The hallway fight scene with Mako, Bolin, Kai, and Jinora is one of my favourite in the franchise. Something about the animation quality and the exquisite choreography of them fighting in such a confined space gives me goosebumps. Loving your reactions to this show. I usually hate when people pause a video multiple times while watching, but your personalities more than make up for it. Currently watching your reaction backlog and living for the editing. 10/10 reaction series.
Lots of ppl bash korra but this episode is one that is unbelievably good. Korra is a perfect show for animators to go all out with the jail break of Pali and the jail break of air benders. It s concept and story is perfect.
Forget those people. They have no lives of their own other than bashing a show they don't like. They're wasting their own time thinking their opinions matter.
While it’s a popular theory, I don’t think someone has to have a Firebending parent and a Earthbending parent to learn how to Lavabend. Lava is just molten rock heated up by pressure. Lavabending does not have anything to do with fire bending nor does a Lavabender have to have an Earthbender and Firebender heritage to be able to Lababend. I concur that Lavabending works the exact same way Waterbenders shift water into ice and steam.
This actually makes me think you need to be mixed-heritage between an earthbender and a WATERbender to be able to control lava. Or maybe even a mixed heritage of earthbenders (since lava is molten rock), firebenders (to heat stuff faster)and waterbenders (phase shift), which would also explain why it's such a rare ability.
@@bkjeong4302 Heating stuff is phase shifting too thou. The only difference is water cools/slows stuff down, while firebenders heats/accelerates stuff.
7:33 Montana's brain just shuts down here, the way she goes, "...Yeah. I don't know...I..." And her eyes got SO big when Kenny went, "Do you think Asami teaches her some moves?"
Interesting theory about Zaheer. They said that Zuko, Tenzin, Tonraq, and Sokka were there to fight Zaheer the first time. Some think Zaheer was the antithesis of Sokka and that he killed him in that fight.
Let it be known that Ming Hua just 1v2’d the twins in their fucking element 30 seconds flat. One of the best freaking duos in the show taken out like nothing. Ming Hua is a beast
@@kockad00dle23 zuko was 16 in the beggining of ATLA, 17 at the end, korra S1 is 70 years after the end of ATLA, from book one to book 3 its been a year, korra is 18. Zuko is 88
hey just so you know there definitely were benders that had parents that were a mixture of the different nations before Korra, like Kyoshi's who had an earth bender for a father and an airbender for a mother.
@@FallenOne669 Actually it did happen during the hundred year war. In the comics there is an earthbender whose father is from the fire nation and mother is an earthbender. Who very clearly lived during the hundred year war. I will say mixing of the races was probably a little more uncommon during the hundred year war and there weren't any characters in Avatar the show other than Kyoshi that were of mixed descent.
I wish Zuko had at least one more fight scene. I mean, considering he was a firebender fighting master level benders of every element in a freak blizzard in the dead of night at the north pole, he did _great,_ but I wanted to see Zuko do some master-level, Fire Lord feats.
I'm not sure if Zuko is that good a bender. He has great discipline thanks to his Uncle but even at the end, Iroh told him not to engage Azula alone, even he agrees that he can only do it cause she's lost it. Zuko is a great bender since he got his emotions in check, better than 95% of them don't get me wrong, but I don't think he's Iroh's, Ozai's or Azula's level. And whatever training made him stronger over the years is counterbalanced by his old age and the cold.
The theory is that Zaheer killed Sokka in the fight to protect baby Korra and thats why they had to lock him away in such a secluded area. A non bender killed an old member of team avatar
Druk might not sound like a good name for a dragon but it has deeper meaning. The Druk is a thunder dragon in both Tibetan and Bhutanese mythology. These specific dragons are told to have a cry of thunder (their roar) and are often represented with jewels signifying wealth and prosperity. :) Definitely didn’t look it up on google like 2 mini ago lol
What I love about Zaheer's team is that they basically form a dark version of the original Team Avatar: one of each element, with Zaheer taking both Aang and Sokka's roles. Like imagine if Aang and the Gaang took a much different path, seeking out revenge against the Fire Nation instead of peace.
Exactly this. They were intentionally designed as Anarchist!Team Avatar and it shows. What is really striking is they use bending styles from other elements to come up with new combat moves, something that the original Team Avatar also made good use of in the first series.
I love tenzins tears because he is witnessing what his father always dreamed of, tenzin had the greatest bond with aang so tenzin is just incredibly happy.
In the scene where Jinora was exploring Lake Logai via astral projection the creators considered putting Jet’s skeletal remains in one of the shots, but ultimately decided it was too dark. (but double suicide isn’t I guess?)
If you look closely at the way the new airbenders are being taught by the Dai Li, they’re essentially doing earthbending moves just with air blasts added. Kai meanwhile, has been taught actual airbending techniques, and even though it hasn’t been long he’s still leagues above the other prisoners.
Love when they’re sneaking through the shadows and everyone’s in dark/dull/cool colors that blend well and then there’s just Tenzin (and Jinora, but she’s kinda hidden behind him) in his bright orange and yellow.
If you go back to S2E1 of ATLA, when Roku is explaining the Avatar State, in the compilation of past Avatars focusing all their power into the current Avatar, Avatar Szeto was lavabending.
About the Kai/Aang thing, I totally agree. Especially considering how many people have that response to him, his voice, stature and playfulness (but not his larceny lol) I personally believe *are* intended to call back to Aang or at least draw some parallels, but I don't believe that's ever been confirmed so it's just an opinion.
My favorite little touch in this episode is that when they go to Lake Laogai there is a little stretch of land jutting out from the shore from when The Gaang tried to show the Earth King the entrance to the secret base.
even though they are the "bad guys" i am a huge fan of the bending skills that the members of the red lotus are capable of. The Way Ming Hua can swing around using her water tenticles is stunning
Kyoshi and Roku were lavabenders, it was shown several times ^^ (Avatar S01E07 for example :) ) Zaheer hasn't a more offensive airbending style, on the contrary his technics are a lot like Aang's that's the point
Also wish they put this easter egg in when Jinora was projecting her self around lake laogai, they should have snuck in Zuko's Blue Spirit mask still at the bottom of the lake.
Zaheer is just the greatest non-bender fighter out of a team of psychotic water bender, a lava bender, a combustion bender, he with just his martial arts was the leader of them all.
I might be a bit late to the party, but I'm genuinely loving your reactions, and insights. I usually hate when reactors see the twists coming, but with you two? It only makes the payoff _better._ It's like watching this stuff for the first time again.

Only he didn't realize he was doing it then, either he didn't know how to do it on command after that or just never had a reason to do it again in the series. both Jinora and Aang are very spiritually gifted airbenders so it tracks..
The hallway fight scene with Mako, Bolin, Kai, and Jinora is one of my favourite in the franchise. Something about the animation quality and the exquisite choreography of them fighting in such a confined space gives me goosebumps. Loving your reactions to this show. I usually hate when people pause a video multiple times while watching, but your personalities more than make up for it. Currently watching your reaction backlog and living for the editing. 10/10 reaction series.
Fun fact: Ming Hua (TLOK) and Azula (ATLA) share a voice actress, Grey DeLisle.
Bit of a fun fact: the Oregon Zoo has a red panda cub named Pabu and he’s so adorable. He’s the prince of the pounce 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I've always loved P'Li as a villain, I can't wait to see you react to this episode~
Sending y'all good and positive vibes from Finland as always 🙏💫
She is so cool, I wish she had more screentime overall.
Same. We, the Finnish squat are rooting for you having a good time, guys.
Lots of ppl bash korra but this episode is one that is unbelievably good. Korra is a perfect show for animators to go all out with the jail break of Pali and the jail break of air benders. It s concept and story is perfect.
Forget those people. They have no lives of their own other than bashing a show they don't like. They're wasting their own time thinking their opinions matter.
It must have been an epic battle to defeat and put them in specific prisons in every part of the world.
“Earth benders are hard to take down”
Tai lee: I took down over 20 with no bending.... get on my lvl🤣
Montana panicking over pretty girls is so relatable. Thank you for this representation.
"Puts the earth queen and Zaheer on the same side" Yeah, about that....
While it’s a popular theory, I don’t think someone has to have a Firebending parent and a Earthbending parent to learn how to Lavabend.
Lava is just molten rock heated up by pressure. Lavabending does not have anything to do with fire bending nor does a Lavabender have to have an Earthbender and Firebender heritage to be able to Lababend.
I concur that Lavabending works the exact same way Waterbenders shift water into ice and steam.
I agree. It was funny that the idea popped up in Kennys head thou. It is a popular initial thought.
This actually makes me think you need to be mixed-heritage between an earthbender and a WATERbender to be able to control lava. Or maybe even a mixed heritage of earthbenders (since lava is molten rock), firebenders (to heat stuff faster)and waterbenders (phase shift), which would also explain why it's such a rare ability.
@@bkjeong4302 Heating stuff is phase shifting too thou. The only difference is water cools/slows stuff down, while firebenders heats/accelerates stuff.
@@alexschwarz4749 Waterbenders can turn ice back to water as well...
The moment you realize Zuko looks like Roku
7:33
Montana's brain just shuts down here, the way she goes, "...Yeah. I don't know...I..." And her eyes got SO big when Kenny went, "Do you think Asami teaches her some moves?"
Interesting theory about Zaheer. They said that Zuko, Tenzin, Tonraq, and Sokka were there to fight Zaheer the first time. Some think Zaheer was the antithesis of Sokka and that he killed him in that fight.
Kenny: says that Bumi wasn’t an asset
Me: how dare you
A villain with friends - actual friends that they care about - makes for an interesting villain imo
Let it be known that Ming Hua just 1v2’d the twins in their fucking element 30 seconds flat. One of the best freaking duos in the show taken out like nothing. Ming Hua is a beast
So, am I the only one freaking out from Ming Hua´s drill ?
I mean she literally turned herself into a drill
The sub-elements of airbending are more spiritual in nature considering air is the most spiritual element compared to the rest
"declare war on the air nation"
well at least they get a warning this time
More then just a functional relationship, this villains are great because you can tell they are friends.
Montana:"What is the earth queen gonna do with zaheer"
Me: 😶
3:34 so no one even gonna talk about how insane she is with that drill. It was massive
The second Kenny said “that’s my Jinora” I knew exactly what edit he was gonna make lol
Kenny: I’m sure the Earth Queen will come back
Everyone: 🙂
When you learn what the Earth Queen did to Bosco (the previous Earth King's pet bear if you forgot). It's in the comics I believe
I love how Kenny says magma bender instead of lava bender😂
It's called magma when it's inside the earth and lava when it breaks through a vulcano or something so it's lava
I love how this season takes it's time to build the story and Zaheer it's awesome
SPOILERS
Montana: “What is Zaheer gonna do with the earth queen”
Us: Well....
You mean what Zaheer is gonna do with the Earth Queen?
poor zuko, he was at his weakest in that scene, it was at night, very cold, and he’s the oldest of all of them
You gotta remember, Zuko is supposed to be in his late 80’s. He’s not limber anymore
im pretty sure hes at least 90
@@kockad00dle23 zuko was 16 in the beggining of ATLA, 17 at the end, korra S1 is 70 years after the end of ATLA, from book one to book 3 its been a year, korra is 18. Zuko is 88
I can’t wait for all of the “This is NOT a Kids Show” Counters for these next two seasons. It’s gonna be fun to see you guys react to those scenes 😅
Some moments are really breath taking to see
@@Lonii04 litteraly.
@@HyrubatoMusic yup literally mind blowing
@@Lonii04 The 2 most perfect comments I've ever seen
@@cheems408 Im *shocked*
hey just so you know there definitely were benders that had parents that were a mixture of the different nations before Korra, like Kyoshi's who had an earth bender for a father and an airbender for a mother.
But that did not happen during the Hundred Year War.
@@FallenOne669 Actually it did happen during the hundred year war. In the comics there is an earthbender whose father is from the fire nation and mother is an earthbender. Who very clearly lived during the hundred year war. I will say mixing of the races was probably a little more uncommon during the hundred year war and there weren't any characters in Avatar the show other than Kyoshi that were of mixed descent.
Can we have a moment for Ming Hua's momentum? She. Does. Not. Stop.
I wish Zuko had at least one more fight scene. I mean, considering he was a firebender fighting master level benders of every element in a freak blizzard in the dead of night at the north pole, he did _great,_ but I wanted to see Zuko do some master-level, Fire Lord feats.
I'm not sure if Zuko is that good a bender. He has great discipline thanks to his Uncle but even at the end, Iroh told him not to engage Azula alone, even he agrees that he can only do it cause she's lost it. Zuko is a great bender since he got his emotions in check, better than 95% of them don't get me wrong, but I don't think he's Iroh's, Ozai's or Azula's level. And whatever training made him stronger over the years is counterbalanced by his old age and the cold.
@@Arkayjiya agreed
So excited for the next character they're gonna introduce and seeing y'all's reaction. No spoilers I promise but this character is my favorite
Aang would be so proud of Korra, Tenzin, and Bumi in this episode 😭
More reasons why Jinora is my favourite character on this show
"I think Zaheer will reach a threshold." Oh boy.
The theory is that Zaheer killed Sokka in the fight to protect baby Korra and thats why they had to lock him away in such a secluded area. A non bender killed an old member of team avatar
Druk might not sound like a good name for a dragon but it has deeper meaning. The Druk is a thunder dragon in both Tibetan and Bhutanese mythology. These specific dragons are told to have a cry of thunder (their roar) and are often represented with jewels signifying wealth and prosperity. :)
Definitely didn’t look it up on google like 2 mini ago lol
Montana is such a mood in that Korrasami scene *bi panic intensifies*
I can’t wait for next episode. A very “this isn’t a kids show” episode
You will eventually see Tenzin go off and you will definitely cry when the camera pans away from him.
What I love about Zaheer's team is that they basically form a dark version of the original Team Avatar: one of each element, with Zaheer taking both Aang and Sokka's roles. Like imagine if Aang and the Gaang took a much different path, seeking out revenge against the Fire Nation instead of peace.
Exactly this. They were intentionally designed as Anarchist!Team Avatar and it shows. What is really striking is they use bending styles from other elements to come up with new combat moves, something that the original Team Avatar also made good use of in the first series.
i dont know if you guys noticed but the voice actor of ming hua (the woman with water arms) is the same as azulas!
I love tenzins tears because he is witnessing what his father always dreamed of, tenzin had the greatest bond with aang so tenzin is just incredibly happy.
The animation is just so awesome! It's such good eye-candy!
The next two episodes are one my favourite in the whole show. So excited for them!!
Airbender that said "we're getting out?"...yeah, he's obviously the brains of the prisoners, huh😏?
Could it be because he's an... airhead?
In the scene where Jinora was exploring Lake Logai via astral projection the creators considered putting Jet’s skeletal remains in one of the shots, but ultimately decided it was too dark. (but double suicide isn’t I guess?)
If you look closely at the way the new airbenders are being taught by the Dai Li, they’re essentially doing earthbending moves just with air blasts added. Kai meanwhile, has been taught actual airbending techniques, and even though it hasn’t been long he’s still leagues above the other prisoners.
Love when they’re sneaking through the shadows and everyone’s in dark/dull/cool colors that blend well and then there’s just Tenzin (and Jinora, but she’s kinda hidden behind him) in his bright orange and yellow.
"the first *speaking* combustion person we see" 🤣🤣🤣
If you go back to S2E1 of ATLA, when Roku is explaining the Avatar State, in the compilation of past Avatars focusing all their power into the current Avatar, Avatar Szeto was lavabending.
About the Kai/Aang thing, I totally agree. Especially considering how many people have that response to him, his voice, stature and playfulness (but not his larceny lol) I personally believe *are* intended to call back to Aang or at least draw some parallels, but I don't believe that's ever been confirmed so it's just an opinion.
My favorite little touch in this episode is that when they go to Lake Laogai there is a little stretch of land jutting out from the shore from when The Gaang tried to show the Earth King the entrance to the secret base.
even though they are the "bad guys" i am a huge fan of the bending skills that the members of the red lotus are capable of. The Way Ming Hua can swing around using her water tenticles is stunning
Just remember it could have been a lot worst, Zuko could have named his dragon Drogon.
Ha, good one
When Bumi said the Queen has the right to conscript her citizens, it's not false, she absolutely has.
Kyoshi and Roku were lavabenders, it was shown several times ^^ (Avatar S01E07 for example :) )
Zaheer hasn't a more offensive airbending style, on the contrary his technics are a lot like Aang's that's the point
Hearing your commentary and predictions.... I just KNOW you’re gonna LOVE this season
Also wish they put this easter egg in when Jinora was projecting her self around lake laogai, they should have snuck in Zuko's Blue Spirit mask still at the bottom of the lake.
Zaheer is just the greatest non-bender fighter out of a team of psychotic water bender, a lava bender, a combustion bender, he with just his martial arts was the leader of them all.
I might be a bit late to the party, but I'm genuinely loving your reactions, and insights. I usually hate when reactors see the twists coming, but with you two? It only makes the payoff _better._
It's like watching this stuff for the first time again.
