You gotta remember what Lin went through after the incedent with her sister. Her sister hsd ro leave, then her mom quit, and she had to take over the entire police force, then her relationship went south with tenzin and then her mom left and never came back or contacted them. Then an anti bending revolution sprouted in your city. And it all comes back to Sui breaking the law.
What I like about the way Zaheer going through the Airbender gates, you see him kind of brute forcing it. He's not, "being the leaf", he's doing these like cartwheels and stuff to smash through the gates. It's a good example of somebody who is talented, but not skilled, and it comes to a head during his fight with Tenzin later in the season.
He's not 'smashing through the gates'. We see him performing spiral movements, a *specific* focus is placed on his legs while he does some, and ends it by going through a narrow gap. He's not brute forcing it.
I like that Kya can put up a fight against Zaheer, as she grew up with an Airbender brother and is one of the few people in the world who may have sparred with one
That's a point that I wish they went into more often. Airbenders have been basically extinct for nearly 200 years at this point. Very few people would be able to fight them effectively.

I think an important detail to consider, about the Bei Fong Drama, is whether Su actually said sorry. Lin has woken up every morning and is reminded of their falling out by her facial scarring. If Su actually said "I am sorry" then she has more grounds for being upset with Lin holding a grudge. As it stands it seems like Su expects Lin to do the heavy lifting with reconciliation. On a lighter note, was Zaheer's hoping no one would recognize him without his unkempt beard? Did he attend the Sokka School of Subterfuge and Disguises? Wang's House of Obfuscation (WHO).

That’s the point of Suyin She’s a hypocritical control freak who can’t stand the idea of not being a god in her city-state and only reached out to Lin and Toph out of ego and not love. Lin has every right to be angry it’s wrong to act on that anger.
@@joshuahecht6866 none of that is displayed in the show, and I feel like a lot of people are misinterpreting her as a character. All the show tells us is that they had a massive fight when they were younger, it tore their family apart, Su and Toph are trying to reconnect, reach out and repair their relationships with each other and Lin is refusing to even try. After she refuses multiple times to talk everything through and heal, she’s still saying their family is torn apart and holding that against them despite being the only thing that’s keeping it that way. Su has VERY clearly matured and build something magnificent, had a wonderful family, and is in general very likable. I don’t know where everybody gets this “control freak who feels like god” notion from, nothing in Legend of Korra shows that.
To be fair, it's been 13 years since anyone's seen Zaheer. He's had a restricted diet, shaved his head and beard, and now he's an Airbender. It makes sense nobody would recognise him, at least for a while.
The reason why I like Zaheer as a villain is because he feels real. At first I was genuinely afraid of Zaheer because for the first time he felt like a huge actual threat. Him killing the earthqueen was such a powerful move. Though she was the queen, Zaheer dgaf. When Zaheer has Korra captured in the cave, the realisation actually hits that she may actually die. The red Lotus are an extremely strong and well assembled team. And then the massive powerplay of Korra. Imo the best fight seen ever. She is so bad ass like that. It kinda reminded me of Aang and the firelord
3:53, well the Beifongs are said to be the richest people in their town. Probably the whole world. OK in all seriousness, I actually don't really have a counter to the whole Zao Fu being impossible to build in the timeframe provided, even at the most generous estimates. Whenever I watched this episode, like a lot of people, I just usually didn't think about it too closely and when I did, I just thought, "meh, she's got a big family inheritance, and she lives in a world where bending exists blah blah" and then kept watching.
I mean it's not that unbelievable since we're never given a hard estimate on how much a yuan is so she could have had a reasonable amount to build a city that would,mind you,pay off for itself with the amount of merchants and others coming to live there so I see no real problem with it
So glad to see you going on with the overanalyzing, season 3 is where the show finally starts being really good and showing its true potential, so I'm really happy someone got to it. Shame that the og overanalyzer is only just starting with the second season, so I'm happy you are here
Toph was the owner of a metal refinery company and metal bending academy post 100 year war and the Beifongs were already wealthy before that. While the context isn’t really given a city constructed out of bending materials is feasible especially over a decade or two of time, look at how the southern water tribe has been.
The southern water tribe was made out of snow, which is easily manipulated and built into Igloos. Steel and metal has to be mined, refined, melted and bent into the shape you need it to be. Iron isn't abundantly lying around and it doesn't replenish every time it snows. They're two completely different materials with different properties.
@@hammarkids542maybe the valley that the city is in is rich in iron, and that’s why they settled there? Or it could have started as a mining settlement?
@@hammarkids542 iron is one of the most common elements on the planet if there was enough iron around to build cities like Republic city, Zaofu would be no different. Thrown in the fact that the city economy is based around metalbending, mining, refining etc. is already made easier not to mention Toph was literally the CEO of a company specifically for that. I’m sure Suyin used all that to her advantage.
@@keonhazel2799 Republicly City isn't made of iron though, the buildings there are made of stone, concrete, wood, and glass. I'm sure there is SOME steel for the structural support. But not Zaofu with the entirety of it being made of JUST metal. Toph wasn't the head of a metal mining/production, and that's not all Zaofu does. You've made quite a leap to conclusions there. Toph just had an academy where she trained metalbenders in her early teenage years, then she became police chief. Nowhere in the comics, Korra, or ATLA says that toph was the "CEO" of a metal mining/refining city, so I'm not sure where you're getting that. Zaofu is never once mentioned to be the home of a steel production refinery. There's way too much metal everywhere, lots of metalbenders come here, and all we are told is Su bought this land and helped build it with her family. Never once does it tell us how she got all the materials to do all of that.
15:13 To this day I still wish we got a "Red Lotus Alone" episode just so we can get more human moments between our villains especilly Ghazan and Ming Hua.👏🏾 Also I love your Korra video's they make my day🥹
8:45, as the little brother of my family, I relate heavily to Su Yin and her side of their sibling rivalry. Me and my older brother were constantly at odds with each other growing up because he was very much patronizing and harsh towards me while I would have issues sometimes with following directions because I'm on the spectrum, There were times where I wanted to smack him so freaking hard and get into a scrap with him to prove my worth to him, but we never did despite getting close on occasion. As we've both gotten older though, he's mellowed out quite a lot, and has been much more vocal with expressing how he feels about things (particularly things he's nervous or insecure about), and in return, I've worked towards respecting his wishes more and doing better with working and sharing space with him whenever he shows up. It does take time to mend these relationships, but in a way, Lin's grudge is very much an unhealthy one because unfortunately Toph was never really there to help them sort things out like how my mom and stepdad were. Sorry for the long ramble.
Age they likely harvest a lot of the metal them selfs plus remember we see both tof and lien living in more or less poverty so yess they likely did sink there inter fortune into this
Bolin X Opal is the Best Romance The Legend of Korra has to offer she's not a creepy Yandere and she's not after him for money or fame she is actually interested in him for him being himself she is sweet and beautiful and her characterization is amazing and she's voiced by Alyson Stoner the voice of Isabella in Phineas and Ferb
3:45, honestly Zao Fu is one of my favorite locations in the entire show, but there was always something that bugged me in the back of my head about it. Now I know! You're totally right! There's no way that she could have made all of this with the help of a couple hundred benders, let ALONE within just 10 years! Something like this would probably take over 100 years to make! PLUS, as you've correctly mentioned, metal is far more expensive than wood to use as a construction material because metal requires more to be sculpted and more to create as a whole! Its still a really cool location and I LOVE the design and scenery of it all, but it should have been on a much smaller scale.
The funny part about Zaheer trying to infiltrate the Air compound is that no other bender alive is likely to have fought an Airbender except Kya (and I guess Zuko but you know) He runs into 1 out of 2 people on the planet who can theoretically beat him.
10:19 It sounds obvious when you put it like that, and I'm honestly thankful for your perspective, but FAR too many teachers have the exact opposite opinion. "If you're not a prodigy, then you're not worth my time" is a WAY too common sentiment in academia.
3:19 I’m pretty sure there were investors, like other rich people from the earth kingdom. Who then ended up living their, it’s like a rich people place.
I really love the way that Korra responds to Lin. I think that its a really accurate response to how she is as a character now. First season Korra would probably do something harsh or lash out off the bat rather than try a more peaceful solution. Now she is a much more mature person and is slower to anger. That being said when her initial attempt fails she does respond with a level of frustration but its somewhat justified at this point so its a lot more likeable
Maybe the rapidness of the city was meant to parallel the rapid growth of cities in the real world? Cities like Dubai, or any number of mega cities in China itself that have sprung up in the past 30 years. Although it would make much more sense if Zao Fu sprung up within the last 25ish years.
these videos absolutely fantastic! You make them so entertaining and engaging, and in an era filled with negatively and cynicism, it’s so refreshing to hear genuine positivity and feedback!
I love Kya vs Zaheer. It's just a shame that Kya never wins her fights, but I really like her style. Say whatever you want about LOK, but the fighting scenes are soooo good! Sometimes I just rewatch some fighting scenes, but Season 3 is my favourite when it comes to that
I'm probably just making my own meanings, but during Zah- Reru... Raru? Roru?'s little showing-off here 10:39 I liked that he moves kind of quickly and harshly. Like, yes, Airbenders and Air Nomads are often portrayed to be the most agile of the four nations, but compare his performance with Jinora's in season 1. Jinora was simply walking, turning and such, she was going along with the wind's flow where Rareriroru does fucking flips on the VERTICAL spinning obstacles
They say she used the inheritance her super stitch grand parents left her and agien you seiresly doen play how easy metal sending makes this just a few guys open and close that dome every night in seconds
I agree with you about zaofu being a gorgeous and aesthetically pleasing city, but logistically impossible. I think the issue with it is somewhere along the line, aesthetics and being visually impressive came before wordbuilding and logic. I wonder if the train exterior shots were sped up slightly for time's sake, considering the braking and the speeds not matching up between exterior and interior shots? it's not necessarily the case, but I do wonder if that happened. I actually really appreciate how the character designs blend then-modern aesthetics into the very 1920s setting of the show. opal has a hairstyle reminiscent of the bobs of the 20s, meanwhile her brother is rocking a skrillex style, and neither seem out of place, and it's all very well thought out.
steel buildings are so expensive is because of the planning and man-hours that go into it, you need thousands of highly specialized workers years and years of paid labor to make something like the sears tower. Not to mention the cost of the metal is high because of the work that goes into mining and refining the metal we use. But if even one person in your city (let alone hundreds) can detect veins of ore with their feet create miles of mine shafts in a day by stomping and punching, and then rip that ore directly out of the ground, I think it would probably make it pretty cheap to make steel, and if those same people can then shape that metal into whatever form they need… towers like that would be pretty affordable.
Also, there’s no reason to assume that the beifong family paid for every building in that city unless I’m wrong, and they actually say that at some point usually people pay for their own construction, not the mayor of the city. No doubt the beifongs paid for their own palace 😅 which again would not be as expensive as it looks.
Also, the city is not even large. I counted five lotuses only one of which has skyscrapers and It looks like they’re only about 10 towers in the main area including the palace.
First video I've seen from your overanalyzing Series and you can clearly see you took great inspiration from Overanalyzing Avatar. Even the outro bit😂. Its nice that he inspired people with his videos ❤
they did, season 3 and 4 were written together with a plan to have Zaheer’s actions cause Kuvira’s rise. There’s a moment in the finale where Kuvira is REALLY focused on
Wait at the beginning where Korra throws the ball, what do you think she would do before she learned air bending? Just launch it with some earth bending?
this "being the leaf" only succeeds because zaheer calculated it. you are meant to close your eyes and feel your way throught it, feels the wind that comes from the movement of the spinning pannels, zaheer has his eyes open and can be seen briefly caculating as she spins in the middle a couple of times before moving on. i absolutely love this show and it's details, i personally like korra more because it feels like pays more attentions to these small details. plus korra was mean to be the *exact* opposite of aang which i think they got perfect. aang is a child who was forced into maturity because he was the avatar and needed to save the world. korra wasn't forced into anything, she was extremely happy as a kid when she found out she was the next one. aang is mature and calm, korra is more childish and brash, which is probably why people dislike korra. one of the other things people dislike is the love triangle, i get it's annoying but it's also the reason korra and asami (idk if that's how you spell her name) grew so close and ended up being together as "gal pals" (i'm not sure if they're girlfriends or even wifes at this point-ya'll know what i mean). korra having a female friend is great for her, most supportive people around her are men but so are most of the antagonists. and then also having the drama of makko who really shouldn't be in a relationship with anybody, seeing how he treats others, just misuses her trust and ends up breaking it. asami is a great person, never blaming korra for makko's behaviour and actually trying to be friends with her despite makko. i should stop rambling and probably re-re-re-re-re-re-re-watch korra because this show is great
8:36 I don't think Lin was overreacting for 30 years, think with me, there are some topics I want to overanalize with you (lol): 1 - Lin was literally working while Su would be running around with some criminals, of course nothing so serious but Lin is a law enforcer and Su was breaking the Law in front of her lol 2 - Toph didn't want them to have the same childhood she had and wanted them to be free to do whatever they wanted, of course it didn't help, also Toph wasn't very present in their lives, they would've known better I guess 3 - Lin being the older sister was given the role that psicologists call ''parentification'', yeah, Toph was out and Lin had to take care of Su, like she was a mother, no wonder Lin argument with Tenzin which lead to their break up was probably because he wanted kids to bring back the air nation and Lin of course didn't agree with that (also funny that Su ended up having a big family because for her it was what she needed while Lin got some hard time being around any kind of family scenarios) 4 - Lin saw Toph retire because of guilt, of course Toph wouldn't admit it but we know it is the truth, this made she feel even more resentment towards Su 5 - Thre is a scar on Lin's face thanks to Su, thats effed up 6 - We never see Su saying sorry, she is always on defense, or when they seemed to be well Su just brush it off not saying anything because Lin seems in a good mood after acupuncture, Lin on other hand apologize for Opal, a big step but Su never give it in on apologizing 7 - at the end of the day Lin had a harder time since their teen ages while Su had that younger sibling privilege
That is all valid, but you missed one of my biggest points when talking about this, and I'll get into it more next episode. Lin definitely has a right to be angry at Su, but the fact that it's been over 30 years since the incident AND Su and Toph have reached out on multiple occasions to try to make up and apologize now puts the blame on Lin for the family still being in shambles. Su fucked up, yes, but Lin is angry at the fact that their family is still torn apart and won't even TRY to fix it.
yeah... but it would make him considerably less likeable. I like him so much because of his ability to be intimidating while being gentle and softspoken. If he attacked Ikki, it would just feel like Ozai all over again.
@hammarkids542 that's true he'd be less likeable and he'd be no different from ozai. His power wouldn't be as impact full if he was petty enough to kill a child
Zaheer is not the type of person to attack innocent people that don’t have it coming. He loves his kind and won’t kill them under any circumstances. Zaheer is good but flawed though had he see that his short term methods only makes the world worse, he should look into long term solutions with leaders who actually cared about their people and their world like Zuko and Tonraq.
12:34 i wander if that pirate was a descendant of one that chased ang [12yerold],. ang died i think 66 and i think Kora's about 15 or older soo they could be, [at age: say 45]
im probably not the firs to say this but you should change your thumbnail style it looks very similar to the overanalyzing avatar chapter so people will probably think you're copying him even a text color change and moving it to the bottom would make a huge difference
The thumbnail design is very much intended to give the idea that I'm copying his format, that's what grabs a viewer's attention. I have his full permission to copy his style
Suyin is one of my favorite characters Also there should be like 5 episodes in Zaofu(that don't include family dispute) to make it seem more than a "peaceful utopia" like making some small villains or something like that Also also, I agree with Zaheer's ideals. Governments don't care about the people.
I didn’t stop, more episodes are on their way, but TH-cam is a side project for me. I have a band to manage, I have theatre productions to act in, I have martial arts classes, I have friends and family that I like spending time with, and on top of that, school already takes about 75% of my time.

Toph just had an academy where she trained metalbenders in her early teenage years, then she became police chief. Nowhere in the comics, Korra, or ATLA says that toph was the "CEO" of a metal mining/refining city, so I'm not sure where you're getting that.
Zaofu is never once mentioned to be the home of a steel production refinery. There's way too much metal everywhere, lots of metalbenders come here, and all we are told is Su bought this land and helped build it with her family. Never once does it tell us how she got all the materials to do all of that.
15:13 To this day I still wish we got a "Red Lotus Alone" episode just so we can get more human moments between our villains especilly Ghazan and Ming Hua.👏🏾
Also I love your Korra video's they make my day🥹
Ghazan* and Ming Hua*
@@ScienceCodeCreations thank you🫡
8:45, as the little brother of my family, I relate heavily to Su Yin and her side of their sibling rivalry. Me and my older brother were constantly at odds with each other growing up because he was very much patronizing and harsh towards me while I would have issues sometimes with following directions because I'm on the spectrum, There were times where I wanted to smack him so freaking hard and get into a scrap with him to prove my worth to him, but we never did despite getting close on occasion. As we've both gotten older though, he's mellowed out quite a lot, and has been much more vocal with expressing how he feels about things (particularly things he's nervous or insecure about), and in return, I've worked towards respecting his wishes more and doing better with working and sharing space with him whenever he shows up. It does take time to mend these relationships, but in a way, Lin's grudge is very much an unhealthy one because unfortunately Toph was never really there to help them sort things out like how my mom and stepdad were. Sorry for the long ramble.
Age they likely harvest a lot of the metal them selfs plus remember we see both tof and lien living in more or less poverty so yess they likely did sink there inter fortune into this
I just watch the entirety of ur series im so sad I gotta wait for new ones now 😪
thanks for watching! It will be a bit before the next one comes out, but I'm still here responding to comments and streaming!
By the current year, 171 AG, Lin Beifong is 51 and Suyin Beifong is 6 years younger at 45.
Bolin X Opal is the Best Romance The Legend of Korra has to offer she's not a creepy Yandere and she's not after him for money or fame she is actually interested in him for him being himself she is sweet and beautiful and her characterization is amazing and she's voiced by Alyson Stoner the voice of Isabella in Phineas and Ferb
3:45, honestly Zao Fu is one of my favorite locations in the entire show, but there was always something that bugged me in the back of my head about it. Now I know! You're totally right! There's no way that she could have made all of this with the help of a couple hundred benders, let ALONE within just 10 years! Something like this would probably take over 100 years to make! PLUS, as you've correctly mentioned, metal is far more expensive than wood to use as a construction material because metal requires more to be sculpted and more to create as a whole! Its still a really cool location and I LOVE the design and scenery of it all, but it should have been on a much smaller scale.
You know Suyin was voiced by Anne Heche. I mostly remember her from Superman Doomsday when she played Lois Lane.
Unfortunately she died recently if I remember correctly. I don't remember why, but I have heard about it. Super bummed.
Yeah she did. She died from her injuries of a high speed collision. Really sad.
12:08 I love how much this syncs up 😂
I did that on purpose :D
Nice first time i am witnessing a new upload for this series.
welcome! I apologize for my absence lol
Please, come back
ok
Finally! Been waiting for this one, hope we get done or at least to season 4 before overanalyzing Avatar catches up!
The funny part about Zaheer trying to infiltrate the Air compound is that no other bender alive is likely to have fought an Airbender except Kya (and I guess Zuko but you know)
He runs into 1 out of 2 people on the planet who can theoretically beat him.
ive never noticed before how zaheer stumbles after kya recognizes him, interesting
10:19 It sounds obvious when you put it like that, and I'm honestly thankful for your perspective, but FAR too many teachers have the exact opposite opinion.
"If you're not a prodigy, then you're not worth my time" is a WAY too common sentiment in academia.
Technically, there's a non-canon trading card character named Afiko who's an evil airbender.
3:19 I’m pretty sure there were investors, like other rich people from the earth kingdom. Who then ended up living their, it’s like a rich people place.
You know what's better than one rewatch? A SECOND rewatch!
I really love the way that Korra responds to Lin. I think that its a really accurate response to how she is as a character now. First season Korra would probably do something harsh or lash out off the bat rather than try a more peaceful solution. Now she is a much more mature person and is slower to anger. That being said when her initial attempt fails she does respond with a level of frustration but its somewhat justified at this point so its a lot more likeable
Maybe the rapidness of the city was meant to parallel the rapid growth of cities in the real world? Cities like Dubai, or any number of mega cities in China itself that have sprung up in the past 30 years. Although it would make much more sense if Zao Fu sprung up within the last 25ish years.
Little did he know the train did throw everyone across the compartment
these videos absolutely fantastic!
You make them so entertaining and engaging, and in an era filled with negatively and cynicism, it’s so refreshing to hear genuine positivity and feedback!
haven't seen any of your videos but this was fun! I'll stick around
Great video!
When is your next upload of overanalyzing korra?
For me worst part of korra is korra. I feel like when she is not around, I almost forget how much I hate this show 😂 great video! Subbed
this season reminds me that it's a good thing this show was made
I love Kya vs Zaheer. It's just a shame that Kya never wins her fights, but I really like her style.
Say whatever you want about LOK, but the fighting scenes are soooo good! Sometimes I just rewatch some fighting scenes, but Season 3 is my favourite when it comes to that
The fights are top notch! Especially in big battle scenes when everybody is doing their own part and not standing around waiting to get hit
I'm probably just making my own meanings, but during Zah- Reru... Raru? Roru?'s little showing-off here 10:39 I liked that he moves kind of quickly and harshly. Like, yes, Airbenders and Air Nomads are often portrayed to be the most agile of the four nations, but compare his performance with Jinora's in season 1. Jinora was simply walking, turning and such, she was going along with the wind's flow where Rareriroru does fucking flips on the VERTICAL spinning obstacles
It is crazy how I did not find it by searching for Overanalyzing Korra.
They say she used the inheritance her super stitch grand parents left her and agien you seiresly doen play how easy metal sending makes this just a few guys open and close that dome every night in seconds
6:35 Kuvira is the one on the right
Aww those little dictators grow up so fast.
I agree with you about zaofu being a gorgeous and aesthetically pleasing city, but logistically impossible. I think the issue with it is somewhere along the line, aesthetics and being visually impressive came before wordbuilding and logic. I wonder if the train exterior shots were sped up slightly for time's sake, considering the braking and the speeds not matching up between exterior and interior shots? it's not necessarily the case, but I do wonder if that happened. I actually really appreciate how the character designs blend then-modern aesthetics into the very 1920s setting of the show. opal has a hairstyle reminiscent of the bobs of the 20s, meanwhile her brother is rocking a skrillex style, and neither seem out of place, and it's all very well thought out.
6:37 I thought they were the other way round with kuvira on the right
They are. He's joking
I think you’re underestimating just how broken earth bending magic is.
steel buildings are so expensive is because of the planning and man-hours that go into it, you need thousands of highly specialized workers years and years of paid labor to make something like the sears tower. Not to mention the cost of the metal is high because of the work that goes into mining and refining the metal we use. But if even one person in your city (let alone hundreds) can detect veins of ore with their feet create miles of mine shafts in a day by stomping and punching, and then rip that ore directly out of the ground, I think it would probably make it pretty cheap to make steel, and if those same people can then shape that metal into whatever form they need… towers like that would be pretty affordable.
Also, there’s no reason to assume that the beifong family paid for every building in that city unless I’m wrong, and they actually say that at some point usually people pay for their own construction, not the mayor of the city. No doubt the beifongs paid for their own palace 😅 which again would not be as expensive as it looks.
Also, the city is not even large. I counted five lotuses only one of which has skyscrapers and It looks like they’re only about 10 towers in the main area including the palace.
First video I've seen from your overanalyzing Series and you can clearly see you took great inspiration from Overanalyzing Avatar. Even the outro bit😂. Its nice that he inspired people with his videos ❤
No it gets worse steel isn’t mined it has to be made
ah, you’re totally right. even more proof to my point!
You know that “random girl” that kept getting shown is kuvira right???
It's irony. He knows who Kuvira is. He just makes jokes like "Overanalyzing Avatar" with the cabbage merchant.😅
I still see Zaheer as a 13 year old pretending to be an adult.
She scared her for life
12:07 LMAO THE SYNC
I do wonder if they already had plans for Kuvira's character when they slipped her in like this 🤔
they did, season 3 and 4 were written together with a plan to have Zaheer’s actions cause Kuvira’s rise. There’s a moment in the finale where Kuvira is REALLY focused on
Wait at the beginning where Korra throws the ball, what do you think she would do before she learned air bending? Just launch it with some earth bending?
Maybe catapult it
so it continues
The day has come
I think aiweis piercing is reminiscent of traditional indian jewelry.
He's back!
I'm back!
1:43 nice to see a fellow Womble fan
Great episode.
this "being the leaf" only succeeds because zaheer calculated it. you are meant to close your eyes and feel your way throught it, feels the wind that comes from the movement of the spinning pannels, zaheer has his eyes open and can be seen briefly caculating as she spins in the middle a couple of times before moving on.
i absolutely love this show and it's details, i personally like korra more because it feels like pays more attentions to these small details. plus korra was mean to be the *exact* opposite of aang which i think they got perfect. aang is a child who was forced into maturity because he was the avatar and needed to save the world. korra wasn't forced into anything, she was extremely happy as a kid when she found out she was the next one. aang is mature and calm, korra is more childish and brash, which is probably why people dislike korra. one of the other things people dislike is the love triangle, i get it's annoying but it's also the reason korra and asami (idk if that's how you spell her name) grew so close and ended up being together as "gal pals" (i'm not sure if they're girlfriends or even wifes at this point-ya'll know what i mean).
korra having a female friend is great for her, most supportive people around her are men but so are most of the antagonists. and then also having the drama of makko who really shouldn't be in a relationship with anybody, seeing how he treats others, just misuses her trust and ends up breaking it. asami is a great person, never blaming korra for makko's behaviour and actually trying to be friends with her despite makko.
i should stop rambling and probably re-re-re-re-re-re-re-watch korra because this show is great
8:36 I don't think Lin was overreacting for 30 years, think with me, there are some topics I want to overanalize with you (lol):
1 - Lin was literally working while Su would be running around with some criminals, of course nothing so serious but Lin is a law enforcer and Su was breaking the Law in front of her lol
2 - Toph didn't want them to have the same childhood she had and wanted them to be free to do whatever they wanted, of course it didn't help, also Toph wasn't very present in their lives, they would've known better I guess
3 - Lin being the older sister was given the role that psicologists call ''parentification'', yeah, Toph was out and Lin had to take care of Su, like she was a mother, no wonder Lin argument with Tenzin which lead to their break up was probably because he wanted kids to bring back the air nation and Lin of course didn't agree with that (also funny that Su ended up having a big family because for her it was what she needed while Lin got some hard time being around any kind of family scenarios)
4 - Lin saw Toph retire because of guilt, of course Toph wouldn't admit it but we know it is the truth, this made she feel even more resentment towards Su
5 - Thre is a scar on Lin's face thanks to Su, thats effed up
6 - We never see Su saying sorry, she is always on defense, or when they seemed to be well Su just brush it off not saying anything because Lin seems in a good mood after acupuncture, Lin on other hand apologize for Opal, a big step but Su never give it in on apologizing
7 - at the end of the day Lin had a harder time since their teen ages while Su had that younger sibling privilege
That is all valid, but you missed one of my biggest points when talking about this, and I'll get into it more next episode.
Lin definitely has a right to be angry at Su, but the fact that it's been over 30 years since the incident AND Su and Toph have reached out on multiple occasions to try to make up and apologize now puts the blame on Lin for the family still being in shambles.
Su fucked up, yes, but Lin is angry at the fact that their family is still torn apart and won't even TRY to fix it.
Where you been at gang?
life.
zaheer. would be hella scary if he suffocated ikki like the earth queen or at least attempted.
yeah... but it would make him considerably less likeable. I like him so much because of his ability to be intimidating while being gentle and softspoken. If he attacked Ikki, it would just feel like Ozai all over again.
@hammarkids542 that's true he'd be less likeable and he'd be no different from ozai. His power wouldn't be as impact full if he was petty enough to kill a child
Zaheer is not the type of person to attack innocent people that don’t have it coming. He loves his kind and won’t kill them under any circumstances. Zaheer is good but flawed though had he see that his short term methods only makes the world worse, he should look into long term solutions with leaders who actually cared about their people and their world like Zuko and Tonraq.
15:16 I am pretty sure it will change later.
you're amazing
no, YOU’RE amazing
12:34 i wander if that pirate was a descendant of one that chased ang [12yerold],. ang died i think 66 and i think Kora's about 15 or older soo they could be, [at age: say 45]
I don't get what there is to agree about with zaheers philosophy, and motives?
Wait we've got another overanalysing avatar 🤔🤨... Is this OK 😑
OA is perfectly fine with me and anyone else copying his format, go check the pinned comment on my Welcome To Republic City episode
@@hammarkids542 nah it's cool man... if OA's cool with you, then I am too gee... that said I'll be back here soon as I'm done with his... 👊
Could you make a video of what if Mako never snitch on Korra
no
I don’t like sui
Metal bending makes work fun and sui a bit of a narrsist so she like to show off
im probably not the firs to say this but you should change your thumbnail style it looks very similar to the overanalyzing avatar chapter so people will probably think you're copying him
even a text color change and moving it to the bottom would make a huge difference
The thumbnail design is very much intended to give the idea that I'm copying his format, that's what grabs a viewer's attention. I have his full permission to copy his style
Suyin is one of my favorite characters
Also there should be like 5 episodes in Zaofu(that don't include family dispute) to make it seem more than a "peaceful utopia" like making some small villains or something like that
Also also, I agree with Zaheer's ideals. Governments don't care about the people.
there is more in Zaofu, it’s a pretty big plot point in season 4
Bro is not overanalysing avatar
no, but I started this series well before he started his Korra series. (with his permission of course)
@@hammarkids542 ok
Why did you stop posting this serios
I didn’t stop, more episodes are on their way, but TH-cam is a side project for me. I have a band to manage, I have theatre productions to act in, I have martial arts classes, I have friends and family that I like spending time with, and on top of that, school already takes about 75% of my time.
I have a very busy life and when things get stressful TH-cam is the first thing to get dropped. The videos aren’t going anywhere, they’re just going to take longer then usual
Oh okay tske your time i wish you the best in evreything you said you were doing and i will be wating till the next episode
Wonder if her dad is Sokka or Zuko...
