Bolin looking at the lava. Lava looking at Bolin. Sigh....but when you then REALIZE that these fools actually didn't even CONSIDER Lavabending to be an Earthbending technique???? It really IS a stretch.
Lavabending for earthbenders is like the phase changes waterbenders can make. Waterbenders control steam (gas), water (liquid), and ice (solid). Lava is just liquid rock.
Yeah I was about to say. Most water benders can do ice anyway. Lava probably requires that one parent is an earth bender and the other a fire bender. A blend of genes
I always figured it was more like how they compact the earth you see sometimes and the fragments of earth metal benders use. Basically just pulling and pushing the earth in on its self to create friction kind of like how electric magnetic fields heat metal useing induction.
@@GothJedi its not a mix thing it just requires proper temperature control, theyre accelerating the energy to the point it liquifies. similar to rubbing certain materials to start a fire. that's why you see Ghazan first lava bend by turning the rocks given to him into a beyblade. bending genes don't mix otherwise the avatar isnt really all that special
Kuviras has been seen and mentioned before -Her name was in the newspaper being promoted as the new head of security. -She was also one of the metal bending dancers when we meet Suyin. -She gave the orders to lock down the city for the night after Airbenders left Zaofu -Then she was the one running around giving info to the Beifong sisters about looking for the Red Lotus after the attempted kidnapping and Lin yelled at her to keep searching.
The fact Zaheer can be conscious on both planes when he was talking with Korra in the spirit world. Hinted at his capabilities of flight. As that is a sign of mastery over the void
@@thehannaawsome yes thats when he could actual do the act of unassisted flight. But I'm talking about how he worked towards being able to achieve such a feat.

@@TbA500N Bolin's lavabending probably comes solely from his earthbending genes since no other person but the Avatar can be more than one type of bender. The Avatar has multiple elements because Raava carried the elements of air, water, and earth and transfered her energy to Wan by passing through him, changing him until he was able to control all four elements. He gradually became superhuman (even by this show's standards) and noticed the change as they kept practicing and she kept merging with him. When they permanently fused, she made his level of power and mastery in the elements become practically unlimited. Bolin's lavabending is probably just intense earthbending that applies heat and pressure to rock similarly to how waterbenders melt ice. Its rare because it's difficult to have that level of control (just as very few earthbenders have both the sensitivity to earth particles and personality to metalbend) and it's much harder to turn earth to lava than it is to turn ice to water. It's not because hybrids of multiple benders exist. An earthbender and firebender will produce a non-bender, a person who is solely a firebender, or a person who is solely an earthbender.
@@kpuda7722 why do people feel like they need to explain the whole show lol of course its his earth bending but I personally believe his fire bending side makes over heating rock come naturally But thanks for your words....i guess
But only Guru Laghima was the only airbender who unlocked the power of flight. They mentioned it a couple times on the show. Like when Zaheer was first introduced and even in this episode when Tenzin mentioned it.
I know it was short lived, but nice to see some of the antagonists for this season have a good romantic life (simple, but effective way to humanize them and make them more interesing). At least P'li and Zaheer seemed like they had that good ride or die love. lol
@@ikilledzombie2140 But they weren't ride or die though, Kuvira was ready to sacrifice him (so their relationship was easily broken by her and she didn't seem to care that much about it when she made her choice for her goals). lol
@@ikilledzombie2140 I was just making the point that I feel like I don't recall seeing many good romance stuff with main antagonists with shows, especially cartoons (that usually don't involve someone sacrificing the other and/or using them for personal gain).
The father/daughter fight against Zaheer was fucking amazing. It was so cool to see them fighting together, and I loved that Korra was limited in her movements, it made for a really interesting fight.
@@craigpeoples9883 Because Aang used it recklessly, mostly because he had no control and needed saving a lot but it's not something to be used carelessly which he found out in ATLA when he almost died.
Because if Zaheer or co would kill her it would be over. Like no avatar anymore. If you look even in ATLA the previous avatars always used the avatar state like korra as a BOOST and not all the time.
"How does he make lava hot?" The same way waterbenders turn water to ice. Obviously it requires a lot more effort, since it's a much more severe change in temperature. Thus why lavabenders are practically unheard of.
This was the best set up to transition to another season for season 3 into season 4. A shame they couldn't connect the other seasons more smoothly like this due to the constraints around the production.
@@raec5426 yh Nickelodeon f up everything they shouldn't have rush the creators but they did a awesome job of getting the series together In such a short time I love legend of korra
@@KEEMchoosen777 Yeah, despite some of its flaws, still enjoyed Korra a lot - but I always wonder where the series could have gone if they could have a smooth production making it from season to season from the start.
Grey DeLisle was out of character and forgot she was voicing Ming Hua, so when she said “Why didn’t you ever tell us you could fly?”, her Azula persona was pretty evident instead lmao.
Azula was so angered and outraged that she lost to a waterbender that when she was released to go and find zukos mom she played it all like she was fine but when they were done and azula was free to live her own life she plotted and plotted deciding to have a kid with a waterbender in hopes of creating a waterbender with the bloodthirst of a firebender ....Ming-hua is Azulas child and the result of Azulas Rage and hatred for katara. Creating a killer offspring able to bend the element that azula lost too. Water
holy shit the fuckin action in this episode, probably the best it ever gets in either series, just watching how hype they were for all of it really wemade me realise that. and i routinely see the confusion about lava bending=something to do with fire bending, and even theories about bolin being able to do it because of his mixed parentage of earth and fire, but lava isnt a combination of earth and fire, it has nothing to do with fire, its pure earth, its just very, very hot.
yup. ATLA was the better arc because it was consistent from start to finish but LOK had the best book in the entire series. LOK Book 3 from beginning to end is epic on all levels
This woman Kuvira, whose name is suddenly so important to know, has low-key been there most of the season! If you go back, you can spot her in Su's dance troupe and she's one of the ones who fights Zaheer when they try to kidnap Korra from Zaofu.
I know they’re done with the show but I also feel like bolin could lava bend because his mom is from the fire nation and his father is from the earth kingdom
But that don't make any sense, lave has nothing to do with fire or lightning, it's just hot earth. like how waterbenders can make ice or steam. I think they even mentioned airbenders heating themselves to stay warm on their mountains It seems lava bending is more rare because you gotta heat up earth A Lot more to get lava than it is to turn water into ice.
No, because lava has nothing to do with fire, it’s just molten rock, it’s just the same thing water benders do with steam and ice, they can heat it up and cool it down, which is why they can lava bend
Zaheer let go of his earthly attachments when P'Li died, unlocking his full potential. Aang had to let go of his attachment to Katara to gain control of the avatar state to reach his.
for real, Korra's struggles with PTSD is half of the reason i defend this show so much, its super well handled in the first few episodes of S4, just wished they did a lil bit more but besides that, one of the best portayals of PTSD in anything
When everyone is mounting Lefty, part of the lava flow directly on the right of the opening goes nowhere and just ends halfway down the screen. In the first shot of Kuvira bandaging Tonraq's arm, the gauze is applied directly to the bicep. In subsequent shots, the gauze is coiled over a skintight sleeve that was not a part of Tonraq's shirt during the initial wrapping. When Oogi first comes into view, he does not have the saddle on him, but as soon as he lands, he does.
Makko and Bo-Lin had fore and earth bender parents, so Bo-Lin being able lava band actually makes sense because of the type of chakra he has,fucking continuity 😭🔥
When zaheer starts flying, Roshi reaction is literally me. Everytime. I just can’t believe he standing over a cloud cover like it ain’t shit then takes off like Ironman!
It’s funny how Korra never really had a fair one on one fight against zaheer they always handicapped tf outta her just so he can stand a chance and look more impressive as a villain
i'm guessing hers, the amount of pain was probably about the same but he never saw it coming while she probably had a moment to realize how screwed she was.
I think a cool theory about Lava Bending and why Bolin can do it, is that his mom is a fire bender and that helps him control his chi to heat up the Earth similar to how fire benders are able to naturally create heat and fire using their chi. This is somewhat supported by the fact that the only two avatars we see lava bend were born fire and earth benders respectively. We don't really know if Ghazan is half Fire Nation, half Earth Kingdom like Bolin but with 3 out of 4 the cross between fire and earth bending seems to be important
In case anyone was wondering magma/lava is molten rocks... just like water that freezes and melts depending on how much it's molecules are moving... lava is rocks with molecules moving a lot (that movement of molecules is called heat)
This is the first episode to show the Red Lotus' official insignia. The episode's name references the inscription on the back of a locket bearing Guru Laghima's image, which read, "Let go your earthly tether. Enter the void. Empty and become wind." Zaheer repeats this saying to himself just before he attains the ability to fly. Both known combustionbenders, Combustion Man and P'Li, were killed by a point-blank explosion caused by their own powers.
YO every time sheer was like "he's gonna have to have his metal moment" I was just snickering and then them screaming "SHEERA" when he lava bends. There are priceless reactions throughout this entire episode lmao. But yes another instance of seeing kuvira before the havoc....btw is was su that said her name because su is like a mother to kuvira.
Flight for Airbenders is like blood bending for waterbenders, lavabending for earth benders, and combustion bending for firebenders. Its the rarest form of their bending. More rare than things like metal bending and lightningbending. If you remember the Avatar Juan episodes, those original airbending nomads were able to fly as well
They established Ghazan as an earth bender when they first introduced him. Zaheer threw rocks into his prison and then he used lava bending to cut the wood and break out.
When Zaheer talked about finally letting go since he lost his lover it reminded me of when Ang was being told to let go of katara as well and I wonder if that’s also similar.
Nah the way they showed P'Li's death was perfect, just barely showing the light of her fire through the cracks in the armor was just enough of a hint, almost graceful in its execution (unintentional pun). Fucking art.
Goddamn, how much must it suck to be dating a guy and know that literally any time the two of you are standing next to each other every single person is reacting like these three when they saw how tall Combustion Bitch was.
Im just going to say something. Trigger warning here because I know some of yall will get triggered. Dont read it if you are going to get triggered because truthfully, Idc. If your feelings get hurt, that is your own. If you @ me you will get trolled or ignored😚 Anyways, what I wanted to say is to also take notice of the fact that it was the two men who were the first ones to make (rude) comments about it. People like to pretend its only women who are the issue when it comes to a man being shorter than the woman in a relationship or regarding when seeking out potential male partner. This is particular done by saying things such as 'if you are not 6'0 + a girl won't even look at you.' And that is definitely true for some girls. But men themselves also look down on (or poke fun at) relationships where the man is shorter (whether consciously or not). And this is often left out of the conversation. The shaming of shorter men in regards to romantic relationship happens on both sides. Lmao this was way too long and not that deep but I just made an observation and thought I would share.
@@msgirly6827 those “two men” make fun of everything, they could love something so much but roast it, it’s what they do, I don’t know about the “men look down at short men too” because I have no research or experience to speak of so I don’t know if that’s true or not. It’s not some deep observation on Lupa’s and Roshi’s unconscious thoughts on short men though, it’s them roasting something for the hell of it, like they do with everything.
Except that's not how lava bending works. Lava bending was seen way back in ATLA. It's simply heating up earth until it turns molten. It has nothing to do with having a parent that can fire bend.
@@ironmatrixs748 Doubt it. There's nothing that states that having parents of different nations makes being a rare breed of bending easier. Lava bending is just making earth hot. There's no fire involved in doing this, so I don't think having fire bending and earth bending parents makes it any easier or harder to perform.
@@krazytreRTM lava bending wasnt seen in atla, it was the avatars who could control molten lava while in avatar state, they had to take the lava from volcanos

The air nomads lost they ability to fly when they found the air bison they became their earthly tethering
You just blew my mind what the heck. Imma have a heated discussion with all my peeps now 😂
I didn't know that. I Wonder what other abilities were lost over 10,000 years.🤔🧐
Combine that with them not having to fly thanks to the bisons anf glider and the hability to float wad just lost
But only Guru Laghima was the only airbender who unlocked the power of flight. They mentioned it a couple times on the show. Like when Zaheer was first introduced and even in this episode when Tenzin mentioned it.
@@Francis... well I didn’t want to say glide what would you say cloud surf? I think unlock so it wasn’t locked before
I know it was short lived, but nice to see some of the antagonists for this season have a good romantic life (simple, but effective way to humanize them and make them more interesing). At least P'li and Zaheer seemed like they had that good ride or die love. lol
season 4 is literally a romance drama with hella fights
@@ikilledzombie2140 But they weren't ride or die though, Kuvira was ready to sacrifice him (so their relationship was easily broken by her and she didn't seem to care that much about it when she made her choice for her goals). lol
@@raec5426 haven’t watched in a minute so ur probably right. But that choice she made was hard. Also Korea and Asami action😏
@@ikilledzombie2140 I was talking about the antagonists only and Kuvira didn't seem too broken up to shoot him with the energy beam. lol
@@ikilledzombie2140 I was just making the point that I feel like I don't recall seeing many good romance stuff with main antagonists with shows, especially cartoons (that usually don't involve someone sacrificing the other and/or using them for personal gain).
The father/daughter fight against Zaheer was fucking amazing. It was so cool to see them fighting together, and I loved that Korra was limited in her movements, it made for a really interesting fight.
My question is why didn't Korra use the avatar state to break the chains
@@craigpeoples9883 She's not spiritual with the past lives, and her life isn't mortally threatened
@@craigpeoples9883 Because Aang used it recklessly, mostly because he had no control and needed saving a lot but it's not something to be used carelessly which he found out in ATLA when he almost died.
@@gemelwalters2942But it's not careless she had a good reason to use it she could of left the avatar state as soon as she was free
Because if Zaheer or co would kill her it would be over. Like no avatar anymore. If you look even in ATLA the previous avatars always used the avatar state like korra as a BOOST and not all the time.
"How does he make lava hot?"
The same way waterbenders turn water to ice. Obviously it requires a lot more effort, since it's a much more severe change in temperature. Thus why lavabenders are practically unheard of.
They way I screamed when Shira called the lava bending 🤣🤣
WAAAA?
and they showed us the villain for the season fourth and we didn't even know
Fr when i first watched it I didn't even know and even when it's was her season still didn't notice until I rematch a lot of times lol😂😂
Kuvira had been a side character, half-detailed in animation in like three episodes before this one
This was the best set up to transition to another season for season 3 into season 4. A shame they couldn't connect the other seasons more smoothly like this due to the constraints around the production.
@@raec5426 yh Nickelodeon f up everything they shouldn't have rush the creators but they did a awesome job of getting the series together In such a short time I love legend of korra
@@KEEMchoosen777 Yeah, despite some of its flaws, still enjoyed Korra a lot - but I always wonder where the series could have gone if they could have a smooth production making it from season to season from the start.
Grey DeLisle was out of character and forgot she was voicing Ming Hua, so when she said “Why didn’t you ever tell us you could fly?”, her Azula persona was pretty evident instead lmao.
Ikr
i recognized her immedietly
12:13 The moment you realize your wife MIGHT be psychic.
Zaheer flying and Bolin lava bending, one of the most hype episodes in all of Korra.
I was actually creasingggg when i saw their reaction to that Lupa's face was killing me😭😭😭💀💀💀
1:50 that McDonald’s edit for the bird call was great. They have a funny ass editor lol
12:17 LOL Even Sheera couldn't believe her prediction XD
You guys are so hilarious
Azula was so angered and outraged that she lost to a waterbender that when she was released to go and find zukos mom she played it all like she was fine but when they were done and azula was free to live her own life she plotted and plotted deciding to have a kid with a waterbender in hopes of creating a waterbender with the bloodthirst of a firebender ....Ming-hua is Azulas child and the result of Azulas Rage and hatred for katara. Creating a killer offspring able to bend the element that azula lost too. Water
I'm so glad my dad's condom broke or else I wouldn't be able to experience this awesome reaction!
Congrats
Me too. My mom was taken off the pill shortly before a big New Years Party
Happy accident.
@@D123-f9k 😂😂
Were what Bob Ross likes to call Happy little accidents
holy shit the fuckin action in this episode, probably the best it ever gets in either series, just watching how hype they were for all of it really wemade me realise that.
and i routinely see the confusion about lava bending=something to do with fire bending, and even theories about bolin being able to do it because of his mixed parentage of earth and fire, but lava isnt a combination of earth and fire, it has nothing to do with fire, its pure earth, its just very, very hot.
yup. ATLA was the better arc because it was consistent from start to finish but LOK had the best book in the entire series. LOK Book 3 from beginning to end is epic on all levels
Zaheer after Pli dies: so no *head* ?
brilliant 👏🍻

the "SHEERA SHEERA" took me out idk why but the screams are always so funny omg
kurviva was the guard that stopped zaheer from escaping with back in zaufo, also she is top guard. she plays a role in season 4.
Kuvira*
@@GradietPanda12345 how?
@@kingedward8556 patreon. They've been done for a long time
This woman Kuvira, whose name is suddenly so important to know, has low-key been there most of the season! If you go back, you can spot her in Su's dance troupe and she's one of the ones who fights Zaheer when they try to kidnap Korra from Zaofu.
I really have to sleep but this reaction is so good
"If kids can take out combustion man, you all can take out her" 😂
I love you guys' reactions so much.
Sheera: He better bend that effin lava...
Bolin: *Bends Lava
Roshi: SHEERAAAAAAA!!
Lupa: *High Pitched* WHAAAAAAAT!
Yeah and he was loud too
I know they’re done with the show but I also feel like bolin could lava bend because his mom is from the fire nation and his father is from the earth kingdom
Oh shit that actually makes sense. Wish we could've seen more combos like that.
Makes sense given we don't know Ghazan's lineage, he may have the same mixed fire/earth bender biology
Exactly. It's a blending of the elements.
But that don't make any sense, lave has nothing to do with fire or lightning, it's just hot earth. like how waterbenders can make ice or steam. I think they even mentioned airbenders heating themselves to stay warm on their mountains
It seems lava bending is more rare because you gotta heat up earth A Lot more to get lava than it is to turn water into ice.
No, because lava has nothing to do with fire, it’s just molten rock, it’s just the same thing water benders do with steam and ice, they can heat it up and cool it down, which is why they can lava bend
Enter the void reminded me of Bruce Lee's quote about becoming water
But nick couldn’t hide the fact that lady blew her head up 😂😂😂
That's why there's a smoking hole in the ground when Zaheer turned around to find P'li.
13:14 the consecutive dissapointment is real
what did the kid say?
Zaheer let go of his earthly attachments when P'Li died, unlocking his full potential. Aang had to let go of his attachment to Katara to gain control of the avatar state to reach his.
Been waiting for this video all day. Can always count on yall
I literally get chills every time is see Korra STILL fighting non-stop even when she’s chained up. This episode gets me hyped every time I watch it.
The real PTSD of Korra begins
@@GradietPanda12345 !?!
for real, Korra's struggles with PTSD is half of the reason i defend this show so much, its super well handled in the first few episodes of S4, just wished they did a lil bit more but besides that, one of the best portayals of PTSD in anything
When everyone is mounting Lefty, part of the lava flow directly on the right of the opening goes nowhere and just ends halfway down the screen.
In the first shot of Kuvira bandaging Tonraq's arm, the gauze is applied directly to the bicep. In subsequent shots, the gauze is coiled over a skintight sleeve that was not a part of Tonraq's shirt during the initial wrapping.
When Oogi first comes into view, he does not have the saddle on him, but as soon as he lands, he does.
Bolin! I love Bolin. This episode was hella stressful. This whole season is popping.
Bolin, my man! Is a lavabender! One of the most rarest sub-bending abilities! I love him too.
5:31
"No it is a negotiation, N I G G U H"
I freaking love sheera bro 🤣
"METAL BENDDD"
This temple is completely made out of stone lol.
Zaheer had to lose the 🐱 in order to fly. That's rough buddy.
This is by far the best reaction to sheera prediction magic I’ve ever seen lol the look on every bodies face with the lava bending
Zaheer definitely needs respect put on his name. 🐐
Makko and Bo-Lin had fore and earth bender parents, so Bo-Lin being able lava band actually makes sense because of the type of chakra he has,fucking continuity 😭🔥
When zaheer starts flying, Roshi reaction is literally me.
Everytime. I just can’t believe he standing over a cloud cover like it ain’t shit then takes off like Ironman!
Tonraq: thanks you saved my life, captain:
Kuvira: you can call me...Kuvira
Tonraq:...why do I hear boss music?
Remember the first thing Zaheer did to the lava guy was give him a rock to break out of his cell
I've been waiting for this episode for soo long
Sheera's reaction for predicting Bolin's lavabending just before he did it was comedy gold
The reason Bolin can do that is because his parents were of both elements, Fire and Earth.
Kuvura introduction is so chilling
8:54-The lava is going down with gravity,so they should go UP to escape it!
It’s funny how Korra never really had a fair one on one fight against zaheer they always handicapped tf outta her just so he can stand a chance and look more impressive as a villain
Yh but he's still a smart and strong fighter.

“Death by snusnu” LUPASAAAAN STOP 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Kuvira! I love how season 3 has such a huge impact on season 4. They tie together directly, I didn't notice it upon first watch of Korra.
10:32 damn, idk which death was worse, hers or combustion man.
i'm guessing hers, the amount of pain was probably about the same but he never saw it coming while she probably had a moment to realize how screwed she was.
"METALBEND WHAT BABE?"
LMAOOOOOOOO
3:02 LOL, the way he slowly looked over, HAD ME, lolol
I think a cool theory about Lava Bending and why Bolin can do it, is that his mom is a fire bender and that helps him control his chi to heat up the Earth similar to how fire benders are able to naturally create heat and fire using their chi. This is somewhat supported by the fact that the only two avatars we see lava bend were born fire and earth benders respectively. We don't really know if Ghazan is half Fire Nation, half Earth Kingdom like Bolin but with 3 out of 4 the cross between fire and earth bending seems to be important
14:57 underneath the earth kingdom, remember when Zuko and Katara were brought there?
Finally time for Bolin to get his hype
(At 12:16) screw the metalbending moment! We have the lavabending moment!
In case anyone was wondering magma/lava is molten rocks... just like water that freezes and melts depending on how much it's molecules are moving... lava is rocks with molecules moving a lot (that movement of molecules is called heat)
12:13
Sheeeera!
Sheera: Poggers
Everyone watching: Yoo sheera is dangerous lol.
YaboyRoshi was like "WHAAAAT!!!!!!!!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 got me dying
"SHEERRAA!" I lost it at that point🤣
This is the first episode to show the Red Lotus' official insignia.
The episode's name references the inscription on the back of a locket bearing Guru Laghima's image, which read, "Let go your earthly tether. Enter the void. Empty and become wind."
Zaheer repeats this saying to himself just before he attains the ability to fly.
Both known combustionbenders, Combustion Man and P'Li, were killed by a point-blank explosion caused by their own powers.
Im deadd the sounds u played while they blew her head up caught me off guard😭🤣
YO every time sheer was like "he's gonna have to have his metal moment" I was just snickering and then them screaming "SHEERA" when he lava bends. There are priceless reactions throughout this entire episode lmao. But yes another instance of seeing kuvira before the havoc....btw is was su that said her name because su is like a mother to kuvira.
I wonder if there would be any on-screen deaths in LOK if Disney ran the show
Flight for Airbenders is like blood bending for waterbenders, lavabending for earth benders, and combustion bending for firebenders. Its the rarest form of their bending. More rare than things like metal bending and lightningbending. If you remember the Avatar Juan episodes, those original airbending nomads were able to fly as well
"How is he making it hot?"
How does a water bender freeze or heat up water?
They established Ghazan as an earth bender when they first introduced him. Zaheer threw rocks into his prison and then he used lava bending to cut the wood and break out.
“An eye for an eye.” 😂 The unintentional hilarity.
makes a lot of sense that Bolin can bend lava, since he's half fire nation, half earth kingdom.
I just noticed Roshi said “fart on him” 🤣
When Zaheer talked about finally letting go since he lost his lover it reminded me of when Ang was being told to let go of katara as well and I wonder if that’s also similar.
"I'd like to talk to you about my religion"
Shows clip of Sheera's predictions.
Nah the way they showed P'Li's death was perfect, just barely showing the light of her fire through the cracks in the armor was just enough of a hint, almost graceful in its execution (unintentional pun). Fucking art.
Goddamn, how much must it suck to be dating a guy and know that literally any time the two of you are standing next to each other every single person is reacting like these three when they saw how tall Combustion Bitch was.
Im just going to say something. Trigger warning here because I know some of yall will get triggered. Dont read it if you are going to get triggered because truthfully, Idc. If your feelings get hurt, that is your own. If you @ me you will get trolled or ignored😚
Anyways, what I wanted to say is to also take notice of the fact that it was the two men who were the first ones to make (rude) comments about it. People like to pretend its only women who are the issue when it comes to a man being shorter than the woman in a relationship or regarding when seeking out potential male partner. This is particular done by saying things such as 'if you are not 6'0 + a girl won't even look at you.' And that is definitely true for some girls. But men themselves also look down on (or poke fun at) relationships where the man is shorter (whether consciously or not). And this is often left out of the conversation. The shaming of shorter men in regards to romantic relationship happens on both sides. Lmao this was way too long and not that deep but I just made an observation and thought I would share.
Lol
@@msgirly6827 those “two men” make fun of everything, they could love something so much but roast it, it’s what they do, I don’t know about the “men look down at short men too” because I have no research or experience to speak of so I don’t know if that’s true or not. It’s not some deep observation on Lupa’s and Roshi’s unconscious thoughts on short men though, it’s them roasting something for the hell of it, like they do with everything.
@@msgirly6827 You’re right, this was some next level trolling good job.
Zaheer flies exactly like a sky bison. Aang created an unstoppable elemental flying vehicle with the avatar state. I actually like both methods.
A theory is that earth benders who have a firenation/firebending parent can lava bend
Cool
Except that's not how lava bending works.
Lava bending was seen way back in ATLA. It's simply heating up earth until it turns molten. It has nothing to do with having a parent that can fire bend.
@@krazytreRTM yea but it could make it easier to do
@@ironmatrixs748 Doubt it. There's nothing that states that having parents of different nations makes being a rare breed of bending easier.
Lava bending is just making earth hot. There's no fire involved in doing this, so I don't think having fire bending and earth bending parents makes it any easier or harder to perform.
@@krazytreRTM lava bending wasnt seen in atla, it was the avatars who could control molten lava while in avatar state, they had to take the lava from volcanos
The look on sheera face when she was right about the lava bending is absolutely amazing 😭😭 even she was like “what the fuck I wasn’t trying” 😂😂
"They're gonna have to bend this f*cking lava *laughs*"
>Literally happens five seconds later
"SHHEEEEERRRRAAAAAAA!!!! SHEERA, WHAT!?!? HOW did you call that on ACCIDENT!?!?"
Sometimes, those predictions are scary good... so keep them up :P
I didn't realize it until this episode, because Ming Hua usually speaks in a lower tenor, but Ming Hua is voiced by the same actress that did Azula
