We don't know enough about Koh to even assume that he cares about leaving the spirit world and stealing faces. We don't know if he has any motives. And he was presented as a powerful and ancient being, but never as someone absolutely evil. I have a feeling that he is still in his cave and doesn't give a shit about what happens outside. But... yeah. Someone should at least address the possibility of that guy walking around expanding his collection of faces...
As I have been taught in my Buddhist upbringing, letting go of one’s attachments doesn’t mean one cannot have relationships. It ultimately means that one has to be ready to accept the eventual departure of the people that matter the most. Attachments tether us to this mortal realm and prevents us from escaping the cycle of reincarnation, and so learning to let go is necessary for our spiritual growth. However, we’re also taught that we must have love for all, which can seem counterintuitive without proper context. In short, the airbenders are within their rights to love as they want, but will eventually learn how to accept their partners’ eventual deaths. You see this with Avatar Roku, who took a wife and had children after completing his Avatar training.
I mean yeah but a big part of the original show was Angs attachment to katara and how he had to let that go in order to fully achieve his powers. So I dont think the monks were particularly happy with romantic bonds of any kind I can see them being tolerated but not encouraged. Kind of like priests
@@privatehere3324 Given that they ended up together in the end, I think it was less "don't be in love with her" and more "don't let her be your main focus, such that you'll put her before the world and your duty". Let go of her as your big focus. Like when he heard she was in danger and rushed off, even though leaving at that point could potentially lock him out of the avatar state for good in the middle of the war. A shift of priorities rather than isolation.
One of the things I didn't like about Korra keeping the spirit portals open she never asked the spirits about it and what we got I think the spirits really don't like humans that much
Oh definitely, that was suuch a bad idea. Could it have been done properly through lots of paperwork and convincing from both sides? Sure, it might even become a modern Japan, very modern with deep spiritual roots here and there.
@@PirvateerKurei modernization of Japan was kind of enforced as well. They were under isolationism, then british and american merchants came and basically said "trade with us and open the island to foreigners or get blockaded/bombarded"
@@PirvateerKurei I don't even know if spirits have a concept of legal council. They may legit just be an anarchy that actually works. Not having survival as a primary instinct can certainly warp your concept of morality to be completely different from humanity.
so no character can have a childhood friend without being gay. are we still on primary school? why can't characters be friends? also making him forbidding homosexuality felt so cheap to me. it's like "he already started the war.. lets make him more evil" I don't know. I like gay characters like Roonaan and Athari from the dragon prince, not the easy move of "he gay" 10 years after the original story ends. 🙄
As a lesbian, I fucking hated how Korra blew up at her parents for being rightfully concerned about how their relationship could be seen. Like so much for all that “maturity” she gained in season 4. Also wanting Bumi to have been the gay one of the family instead of Kya is absolutely valid.
@@vincevvn What do you mean by she’s still a kid? Korra’s literally an adult in her early 20s at this point. This is the same character that almost died trying to appeal to Kuvira’s better half. So doesn’t her own father deserve the benefit of the doubt here?
Writer one: WHOOOO ROMANCEE Writer two" BIG BATTLES AND SCENES!! Writer three: AND INCLUSIVITY! Writer one: OO EVEN MORE COUPLES! Writer four: ....What about a plot? Character growth? Development? Writers 1-3: Ohh yeahh... suurrree... If you can find a place for it.
"With fanfic villain, Tokuga, a hook sword, chi blocking gangsta" *DO YOU GUYS REMEMBER HOW COOL JET WAS? DO YA?* God this hurts physically and emotionally. Just give the man regular swords or taser batons.
Because, once again, Varric is neither a war criminal, nor a terrorist: he's a PROFITEER. Completely different. And because weaponizing spirit energy wasn't his idea, but Kuvira's (which he tried to stop) and the worst thing he did throughout the water tribes civil war was... well, like I said, profit off of it
Because of his stupid "redemption arc" that made people instantly forgive him over everything he's done. Because capitalists are more sympathetic than any other ideology, I guess.
@@vetarlittorf1807 He was caught staging attacks and blaming it on the northern water tribe He was arrested for it and he escaped from prison the dude is literally a fugitive and they never address that
Korra and the Airbenders keep saying that the portals being open is a good thing yet don’t have a single good reason as to why. It’s led to crazy vines taking up tons of space in their city, along with a new giant portal and even more of a change in city’s structure, people lost their homes, people can now be mutated by spirits that can’t be punished for their thoughtless actions.... Just saying something is good doesn’t automatically make it good just because. If the spirits ever get pissed enough at humans they could wipe them out and they clearly can get easily pissed off and violent. And yeah the airbenders definitely aren’t what they used to be. Now they’re using their sense of spirituality to take authority in all spiritual matters while also traveling the world and policing it. The airbenders can become a big problem VERY QUICKLY.
That could be a probleme to solve for the next avatar like there is a rogue squad of airbender that could sound bend and they are not good with the new airbenders a bit like zaheer
Yin Yang Yeah there’s no real benefit to having them opened aside from people being “more spiritual” and being in communion with the spirits, but that in itself has no reason. Even thinking about the world during Wan’s time, humans couldn’t even live outside the lion turtles without being killed or mutated by spirits.
@@raunjisto2925 i guess Korra forgot that during her blast to the past. Those portals being open have only caused carnage but they're good how? I guess she means that they're good for when she wants to take a vacation with asami.
@@raunjisto2925 I think the spirit portals being opened was more of a good thing over time as opposed to something immediately gratifying. Tenzen explains that it isn't on the Avatar to make sure the micro level problems are fixed but the overall peace of the world. Keeping the portals open brought back an entire nation after all which is a pretty balanced result. Besides, keeping the portals open also would likely teach the spirits and humans to work together over time as opposed to letting the Avatar being the sole person in charge of doing that. As spiritual and powerful as the Avatar may be, they are still people with different opinions, ideals, and view points. Delegating the affairs of two entire PLANETS to one person already just seems like a flawed idea in the first place.
In the Lost Scrolls (which is a combo of the basically mini comics from the first series that were written by the og crew) are pretty damn good. It has some bits of fan nods like one comic being Toph vs Bumi, but the BEST comic in there is “Relics” (takes place in Book 1 btw) like holy crap. I don’t want to spoil it, but it looks and feels like it was literally taken from the show. It’s as good as the “Blue Spirit” episode because it has that same hit to the gut at the end like when Aang asks Zuko if they could’ve been friends. I highly HIGHLY recommend it
No they really arent. Imbalance is the only one I would say is Mildly Good. The Rift is okay. The Search was disappointing. The rest of them just suck.
The comic made me realize that if there was more focus on korrasami in show, it probably wouldn’t have been handled to well. Just like other relationships in the show
Just realised that with your comment. Well but even if it was handled poorly it would still be very important representation.. In the end it always comes to the question: Bad representation or no representation?
@@manuba_ Imo no representation would still be better than baiting your fanbase with shitty representation, only makes it worse if you use that to defend your poorly written show
I mean if you have representation you gotta do it right and it needs to be overall planned and thought out with good natural writing therefore the audience will appreciate the representation and see that the show actually truly cares about representing types of people which will make it all the more satisfying
@@nevergonnafindme5778 I get it and I agree that bad representation is most of the time worse than no representation, but at the same time, everything has to start somewhere and Korrasami WAS the start of LGBTQ representation in "kid's shows", so even if it was done poorly, if they didn't do it because it wouldn't be good (wich would be understandable imo) probably we wouldn't have shows like Steven Universe and Shera today. So in the end, it's complicated lol.
@@irmuusanaa4227 there's good reasons for and against it and that's the very point of the decision. it's been 3 years in their world and there's still a bunch of conflict over it. co-existence doesn't happen overnight (Wan can speak to that even among just humans).
@@vetarlittorf1807 How? At the start of season 4 we're told that but never really shown that. I guess since there not fighting each other theirs peace between them but they haven't shown how it benefits both parties. Humans can't harness spirt energy cause its too powerful and spirts don't like it, and spirits don't seem to have a big impact for everyday life other than just being there. I would love if the series had delved more into this but it really didn't
I hate what they did with Raiko, in the show it was ambiguous whether he was a shitty politician or Korra was really that terrible. Nope, can’t have ambiguity. Mustache man bad.
I like how they try to play Riako off as a bad guy because he called out Korra for going on vacation while everyone else was fixing the broken city she helped destroy in her fight. And then the only reason she suggests that jullie become president is so that she can agree with her all the time without ever questioning her? All Riako is guilty of is not allowing Korra to use his army in a civil war that he wasn't apart of and he questioned her so hes a bad guy?
@@ItsRemmyy Raiko was horrible. He still refused to help Korra once she told him that Unalaq was going to cause 10,000 years of darkness. Instead of helping her he wants to use all his troops to protect just once city in the country he runs. He then has the nerve to blame Korra for the vines when the vines wouldn't have been there if he helped her when she asked for his help. If it weren't for Korra, Kuvira would have reclaimed the United Republic. Raiko surrendered the capital city to Kuvira within 5 minutes of her arrival. Raiko himself didn't do anything to help those who lost their homes. He was to focus on his reelection campaign then helping his fellow countrymen.
@@GreatUniter I know hes a bad person. I'm talking about this one scene. He wasn't a bad person in this scene. And he had a right to blame korra for the vines. From their perspective, she wouldn't close the portals which meant the vines were going to stay. He also isn't horrible for not including his army in a war that wasn't theirs. His duty wasn't to the water tribe.
@@ItsRemmyy Closing the portals wouldn't have meant the vines would go away. Wan closed the portals 10,000 years ago yet there is a massive swamp of spirit vines in the EK that are far more potent with spiritual energy than the ones in Republic City before the time of Harmonic Convergence in Book 2 of Korra. It was his fault as Korra would have been able to prevent Vaatu from escaping as she wouldn't have to waste time fighting through Unalaq's army. If Vaatu never escaped he would never be able to fuse with Unalaq and the two would have never covered a section of the city with spirit vines. I'm not saying he's horrible for not including his army in the civil war. He's horrible because once he learned that if he didn't help Korra it would potentially result in 10,000 years of darkness for the entire world. He had a proper reason for getting involved once she told him newer details of the situation. He is also horrible because he only wants to protect a single city in the entire country he runs.
@@GreatUniter I wouldn’t say Raiko’s mistake in season two makes him a bad person. The word I would use is misguided. Can’t really fault the guy for wanting to protect the country that he runs.
i dunno why people are so fixated on this. If this was so common, how come an anarchist airbender weeb who lost his GF was one of the first characters in centuries to attain what people dismissed as a legend? we saw from TLA S1 E4 that monks had relationships. They played games and built friendships. Aang's whole conflict that lead to him being an iceberg was based around not being able to maintain these earthly bonds. Clearly Guru Laghima's plilosophies were at best a radical interpretation of airbending.
Not to be rude, but what westerners define as detachment has nothing to do with that it actually is. It’s not “not caring” but it’s just acceptance of things and not letting it make you suffer.
They should not keep bring up Korrasami at the wrong time the main focus should of been dealing with the crisis to show the characters about the others in their world and show Asami and Korra being supportive and working out the problem together taking a little slower and them being supportive of each other
Not all comic continuations of cartoons are bad, I thought Gravity Falls lost legends was great. Also you should do a sarcastic summary of gravity falls.
They had no issue aresting and raiding asumi's family and cabbagecorp during season season 1 and Varic got arested so the cops wont touch wealthy industrialists seems dumb when we've seen them do it with literally every major corporation to apear in Korra prior to this point.
I liked Turf Wars, I wanted to see what would happen after the series ended and more of Korra and Asami's relationship now that Nickelodeon's Standards and Practices were no longer an issue - and it delivered on both. But it does have problems - namely, the fact that Korra and Asami are told that not everyone supports their kind of relationship and they will face bigotry... only for the trilogy to end with nothing of the sort happening. It shares one of the biggest faults the series had as well - they do an awful lot of TELLING about these bad things, but they never actually SHOW us the problem.
Sooo, let me get this straight: Korra is still an impulsive hotbead who resorts to violence as her first option, Bolin is still just a comic relief, Mako....I got nothing, and Asami still the voice of reason. Did these characters ever develop once throughout the show?
@@mememe4188 Korra? Developing? That's news to me. When did she take the "peaceful" approach to something? When did she try to "talk things out" in order to solve something? Literally, all she ever did was beat the bad guy, and when a problem arose, her first instinct was to kick it
@@floricel_112 there's more dimenstions to a character than pacifist vs. hothead. By that metric, Aang changed very little and the plot bended to make sure he could stay a pacifist by the end of the show. Korra's whole development since the ending parts of S1 revolved around her 1) overcoming her thoughts that "without power I am nothing" and 2) accepting that she as avatar doesn't necessarily have to carry the world on her shoulders. That doesn't mean she's as peaceful as an air nomad now , but it does mean she's generally more willing than previously to seek council and keep people in her life in the know on situations.
@@raze2012_ yeah, but Aang was an immature kid who learned to accept his role as the avatar while still maintaining his beliefs as an air nomad, while maturing bit by bit at the same time
I just realized that the vines in Republic City were a result of the Dark Avatar not by the spirt portals being opened. Even if they were closed the vines would still be their. I bring this up because the vines are the ONLY big change that happens after the portals are left opened! And with that being debunked it makes Season 2 all the more pointless. You might argue that it brought the Airbenders back but it was never stated whether that was because of the portal or Harmonic Convergence.
The vines had spiritual energy in them because the portals were open. That's why Korra was able to locate the missing people who were abducted by the angry vines and were locked in the spirit world. Another thing, the Airbenders were brought back because the portals were open during harmonic convergence and a lot of spiritual energy entered the human world that enabled them to bend. But tbh i find it stupid. Cause the spiritual energy wasn't airbending specific. So how tf it didn't cause other element benders as well
I mean, Air kinda makes sense, because if I'm not mistaken, Male and Female air monks actually lived separetly. North and South Temples were for Air Monks, East and West for Air Nuns, like real convents. So in a place where there is only men and only women, who meet very rarely, it makes sense for there to be lots of gay relationships.
It does make sense for religious orders, but those don't usually make up the entirety of an ethnic population. How do they decide who to have kids with? It is implied that children are communally raised, so they don't necessarily need long term couples. But it does open up several questions that aren't easily answered on kid's TV.
@@BonaparteBardithion I assume it must be like a tiger: the man and women only meet during the "mating season", and the children are raised by the monks if male and the nuns if female.
@@presidenttogekiss635 When do they meet though? Unlike tigers, humans don't have a specific "heat" that tells them when to go out and produce offspring. Do they have regular get-togethers for specifically this purpose? Or, since they travel a lot, do they visit each temple freely? Do they meet each other out in the world? Even if some monks/nuns choose to become long-term partners, they theoretically live seperately. Does marriage traditionally exist in their society? Edit: Additional thought: It's proven that you can inherit bending from either parent. Do they partner with non-air people and just deliver the kid to the monks if it happens to be a bender? Do non-bending offspring become the acolytes? The gender division and their geographical isolation raises many questions about their lifestyles. It'd be interesting to see that delved into some way.
It is pretty simple actually. They most likely do orgies and fertility celebrations for that specific purpose. If the children are communally raised, there isn’t really a need for a monogamous couple, though there might be a small track of who is related to whom to avoid inbreeding. Edit: they probably keep track of family lines through mother-daughter family lines, which are much easier to follow and less controlling of women’s sexual agency than tracking family lines through father-son (which requires a lot more control over the women since a man can’t really guarantee the children are his, at least not before the advent of dna testing). Keeping in mind that they also do not have a strong concept of family, but community, so even if it sounds alien to most of us, the air nomads would not have high importance to concepts like father and mother, or the idea of “my” children. Since these points will most likely never be explored, this is my fanfic idea of how the air nomads would operate.
@@BonaparteBardithion Actually, it has been stated that the Air nomads had the smallest overall population of the four nations, but that they were almost ALL benders. So I assume that breeding with a non-airbender was frowned upon. I assume it could be both a festival in which they meet every year, or they travel to the other air temples specifically for that role, kinda like elephants. but I don't think traditional marriage as we know exists in the Air Nomads, at least before Aang.
I think I might be in the minority who actually liked the spirit hybrids. Also kinda sad it looks like he won't review the other Korra comic "Fall of an Empire" I really wanted him to rip that one apart
@@goodboi3851 Yeah it is kinda better than Turf war though its still not one of my favorite. I will say the relationship is far better handled in this one, it feels way more natural
So basically Korra's dad and Tonraq was given her sound advice since lets face it Korra gets over excited and goes trigger even when someone doesn't know or understands what she does or vice verse...Also doesn't know tact if it air bend itself down her throat.

I'm glad they got someone else to do the art for ruins of the empire. It fit so much better with the designs from the show. This trilogy has a adjustment period with its art style for me. The story was ok, but I'm hoping to see what the fire nation has become in future comics.
Korra: “i have a girlfriend” Tonroq: “that’s wonderful sweetie” Korra: “i’m going to tell everyone!” Tonroq: “that might not be a good idea” Korra: “UR A BIGOT REEEEEE!” Literally how it went down
Tonroq told korra not to tell others people not because of safety or to save herself from possible discrimination but because he viewed that as the culturally acceptable to have same sex relations. Or maybe I'm wrong

that is a thing i didn't like about korrasami couple. didn't feel earn. I was litterally confused when people told me that they were a thing at the end. like seriously i've interpreted it as "yay let's go on a trip together" i saw more this as friendship than as a romance. Because you know not every interaction means relationship and these two never felt like really a thing. Especially when i compare them to catradora. every minute, every second i knew that there was a thing between these two. while between korra and asami, nothing. I'm not saying i'm right, apparently seeing the comics and the writers i'm completely wrong but this still bothers me. It actually feels the same way disney treats love. like they've known eachothers for some time and one day *pouf* we're together. me : "wait what ? when that happened ?" and on top of that the reactions are really weird, like their friends are happy for them, their parents too, it just feels weird not natural. i actually wanted them to be surprise or be like "oh my god i knew it ! we've bet on that" korra : "you've bet on what now ?" i can see some of my friends reacting like that. they didn't go on the real confrontation with older mentallity. And i'm also surprised they chose kya over bumi, Bumi felt like the better choice for an alternative story. while kya is just the easy choice for a lesbian interaction. and the fact that they talk so much about it also didn't help. while in she--ra from beginning to end you knew that these interactions existed. they never had to say to your face that they existed. (the only relationship that didn't feel normal to me was scorpia and perfuma. felt like a one way relationship but that's my thought on this one) i was really disappointed in their choices, i think i would have been more happy with a bumi talking about an old relationship in the show than watching a post comic korrasami screaming at me "homosexuality is GOOD" BUT there is one thing important. i think they still made the right choice to make it because korrasami and other stories like that are steps that brought she-ra to be made and that is a really great thing to recognise.
Not really a continuation, but the Young Justice and Stretch Armstrong tie-in comics are pretty good. They fit the show perfectly and are written by the show's creators and writing staff. Also, She-Ra had a pretty good graphic novel that, despite being a standalone story, fits thematically well with the show, especially post-season 4.
korra and asami being gay/bi is believable but I wish they had set it up in the least bit! the light interaction the two characters had in the show seemed like friendship at best and even that was hard to get into at times considering korra caused mako to cheat on asami
I was having a bad day today until I was watching your video and you said"Oh Kuriveria is back next week and do they give her a personality Nope".Idk why it made me laugh so much but thanks.
Also, these particular comics have flaws that the show itself always had. The way they handled non-straight relationships was well-intentioned but really sloppy ("That guy was the worst!") and the political aspect of the second arc gets ruined by a REALLY stupid plot twist, which I won't spoil if you haven't read it yet. EDIT: The Zhu Li side plot really feels like a 2016 elections response. Not even subtle about it.
This whole arc was a big mess. It went overboard on pushing Korrasami. Instead of having Kora actually do her job and Asami supporting her through the stress, they went on vacation right after a massive disaster that left all those people homeless. There is obvious tension between the spirits and the humans, the gangs, and political issues but Korra's too into Asami to really do the whole balancing thing. Then they pushed the president out for no reason other than not being obedient to Korra's whims and put in Zhu Li; we never saw anything from her that would say "Hey, she'd make a great president!"
as much as a love korrasami, It's awful. there was no build up in all of the 4 seasons it was given between all the useless love archs, dark avatars and _mechs_ they could have squeezed SOMTHING in there other than bits of dialog where is you do some serious mental gymnastics is similar to flirting. I was hoping the comic would compensate for the lack of build up by actually developing their relationship, but as I've found out today: _that couldnt be further from the truth_
Well... I feel like the main (/only) reason people love korrasami is bc it's representation. And yep turf wars was a disappointment. In the show, I understand why they wanted to focus more on the main plot (especially after that love triangle love square? Disaster), but there was no excuse for their relationship to be done badly in the comic.
@@solierix Oh I'm sorry, I typed that comment based on the comic Sarcastic talked about in the video, I havent seen any of the comics besides that cuz I'm a lil broke potato I've just seen fan works of it
This is is why I had a problem with korrasmi this was a shit show that threw in the lgbt stuff to get people to watch it and it worked. This is coming from a bi guy and I hated watching the shoehorned in lesbian relationship in a poor attempt to save the show.
In case you guys didn't know, in this comic, Korra and Asami are gay... I know I know, its hard to take that out of this comic, so I had to mention it... ;-)
I agree this is a weak and pretty bland comic, but I actually enjoyed Ruins of the Empire. I felt the ending of RotE was a little rushed though, and Opal's sudden change of attitude towards Kuvira irked me.
Okay if the covers are going to use the art style of the show, it is extremely misleading to then not do so for ANY of the actual comics within said covers.

@@boluporter1529 Yes i guess. I think it is just a pity that the ATLA comics in the end are primarily just there to fill in the huge gap between Avatar and Korra. They dont feel like a natural continuation from The Last Airbender in my opinion.

Koh the face stealer existing outside the Spirit world
Korra: this is fine
Now this is more than enough reason to seal the portals
THIS! First thing I thought about.
We don't know enough about Koh to even assume that he cares about leaving the spirit world and stealing faces. We don't know if he has any motives. And he was presented as a powerful and ancient being, but never as someone absolutely evil. I have a feeling that he is still in his cave and doesn't give a shit about what happens outside. But... yeah. Someone should at least address the possibility of that guy walking around expanding his collection of faces...
You do realize that Koh could enter the physical world any time he wanted when the portals were closed, right?
@@vetarlittorf1807 he could only do that around solstice times making it safer
As I have been taught in my Buddhist upbringing, letting go of one’s attachments doesn’t mean one cannot have relationships. It ultimately means that one has to be ready to accept the eventual departure of the people that matter the most. Attachments tether us to this mortal realm and prevents us from escaping the cycle of reincarnation, and so learning to let go is necessary for our spiritual growth. However, we’re also taught that we must have love for all, which can seem counterintuitive without proper context. In short, the airbenders are within their rights to love as they want, but will eventually learn how to accept their partners’ eventual deaths. You see this with Avatar Roku, who took a wife and had children after completing his Avatar training.
roku grew up in the fire nation
I mean yeah but a big part of the original show was Angs attachment to katara and how he had to let that go in order to fully achieve his powers. So I dont think the monks were particularly happy with romantic bonds of any kind I can see them being tolerated but not encouraged. Kind of like priests
@@privatehere3324 Given that they ended up together in the end, I think it was less "don't be in love with her" and more "don't let her be your main focus, such that you'll put her before the world and your duty". Let go of her as your big focus. Like when he heard she was in danger and rushed off, even though leaving at that point could potentially lock him out of the avatar state for good in the middle of the war. A shift of priorities rather than isolation.
Then you are definitely no monk.

One of the things I didn't like about Korra keeping the spirit portals open she never asked the spirits about it and what we got I think the spirits really don't like humans that much
I agree the implication and effects will be felt for years after korra and through her reincarnations.

😂
President Togekiss I mean you make all the fire lords seem gay expect azulon
I can totally see Sozin doing a "call out" Eggman copypasta, but the Moon in this case is the air nation.
He did have kids though. Maybe it was to keep up appearances since it would be strange if the gay fire lord outlawed being gay.
so no character can have a childhood friend without being gay.
are we still on primary school? why can't characters be friends?
also making him forbidding homosexuality felt so cheap to me. it's like "he already started the war.. lets make him more evil"
I don't know. I like gay characters like Roonaan and Athari from the dragon prince, not the easy move of "he gay" 10 years after the original story ends. 🙄

Wow, you are so stupid. She said that in response to Tonraq telling her to keep it to herself.
As a lesbian, I fucking hated how Korra blew up at her parents for being rightfully concerned about how their relationship could be seen. Like so much for all that “maturity” she gained in season 4. Also wanting Bumi to have been the gay one of the family instead of Kya is absolutely valid.

@@vincevvn What do you mean by she’s still a kid? Korra’s literally an adult in her early 20s at this point. This is the same character that almost died trying to appeal to Kuvira’s better half. So doesn’t her own father deserve the benefit of the doubt here?

Always bothered me why the fugitive terrorist can be married to a presidential candidate and it's no problem. Why is no one angry at Varric?
Because, once again, Varric is neither a war criminal, nor a terrorist: he's a PROFITEER. Completely different.
And because weaponizing spirit energy wasn't his idea, but Kuvira's (which he tried to stop) and the worst thing he did throughout the water tribes civil war was... well, like I said, profit off of it
He's rich, charismatic, and useful.
With the association with Kuvira, it could be argued that he was a war prisoner, even though he wasn't originally.
ALLEGED terrorist, never convicted.
Because of his stupid "redemption arc" that made people instantly forgive him over everything he's done. Because capitalists are more sympathetic than any other ideology, I guess.

Korra and the Airbenders keep saying that the portals being open is a good thing yet don’t have a single good reason as to why. It’s led to crazy vines taking up tons of space in their city, along with a new giant portal and even more of a change in city’s structure, people lost their homes, people can now be mutated by spirits that can’t be punished for their thoughtless actions.... Just saying something is good doesn’t automatically make it good just because. If the spirits ever get pissed enough at humans they could wipe them out and they clearly can get easily pissed off and violent.
And yeah the airbenders definitely aren’t what they used to be. Now they’re using their sense of spirituality to take authority in all spiritual matters while also traveling the world and policing it. The airbenders can become a big problem VERY QUICKLY.
That could be a probleme to solve for the next avatar like there is a rogue squad of airbender that could sound bend and they are not good with the new airbenders a bit like zaheer
Well said. As if the world without opened spirit portals wasn't difficult enough to handle lol
Yin Yang Yeah there’s no real benefit to having them opened aside from people being “more spiritual” and being in communion with the spirits, but that in itself has no reason. Even thinking about the world during Wan’s time, humans couldn’t even live outside the lion turtles without being killed or mutated by spirits.
@@raunjisto2925 i guess Korra forgot that during her blast to the past. Those portals being open have only caused carnage but they're good how? I guess she means that they're good for when she wants to take a vacation with asami.
@@raunjisto2925 I think the spirit portals being opened was more of a good thing over time as opposed to something immediately gratifying. Tenzen explains that it isn't on the Avatar to make sure the micro level problems are fixed but the overall peace of the world. Keeping the portals open brought back an entire nation after all which is a pretty balanced result. Besides, keeping the portals open also would likely teach the spirits and humans to work together over time as opposed to letting the Avatar being the sole person in charge of doing that. As spiritual and powerful as the Avatar may be, they are still people with different opinions, ideals, and view points. Delegating the affairs of two entire PLANETS to one person already just seems like a flawed idea in the first place.
Yeah, this one is probably the weakest of all the comics, but the Kuvira one is better and some of the Airbender ones are actually REALLY GOOD.
Not in his opinion though I guess.
Tbh this is the only comic from the avatar universe that made me physically hurt.
The Kuvira one is better but i feel like it has a lot of the same problems plus not a fan of the redemption arc they try to give Kuvira
No the weakest one is North & South.
In the Lost Scrolls (which is a combo of the basically mini comics from the first series that were written by the og crew) are pretty damn good. It has some bits of fan nods like one comic being Toph vs Bumi, but the BEST comic in there is “Relics” (takes place in Book 1 btw) like holy crap. I don’t want to spoil it, but it looks and feels like it was literally taken from the show. It’s as good as the “Blue Spirit” episode because it has that same hit to the gut at the end like when Aang asks Zuko if they could’ve been friends. I highly HIGHLY recommend it
No they really arent.
Imbalance is the only one I would say is Mildly Good.
The Rift is okay.
The Search was disappointing.
The rest of them just suck.
Okay, while Tokuga's design and character isn't that original, I honestly like the idea of a spirit permanently scarring him. That was kind of neat.
The comic made me realize that if there was more focus on korrasami in show, it probably wouldn’t have been handled to well. Just like other relationships in the show
Just realised that with your comment. Well but even if it was handled poorly it would still be very important representation.. In the end it always comes to the question: Bad representation or no representation?
@@manuba_ Imo no representation would still be better than baiting your fanbase with shitty representation, only makes it worse if you use that to defend your poorly written show
I mean if you have representation you gotta do it right and it needs to be overall planned and thought out with good natural writing therefore the audience will appreciate the representation and see that the show actually truly cares about representing types of people which will make it all the more satisfying
bolin and opal was fine. so was ginora and kai.
@@nevergonnafindme5778 I get it and I agree that bad representation is most of the time worse than no representation, but at the same time, everything has to start somewhere and Korrasami WAS the start of LGBTQ representation in "kid's shows", so even if it was done poorly, if they didn't do it because it wouldn't be good (wich would be understandable imo) probably we wouldn't have shows like Steven Universe and Shera today. So in the end, it's complicated lol.
How to know when something was written during or after 2016: Presidential election subplot.
"Mako you didn't turn them gay."
Well no but also yes.
I will keep bitching about the portals until they’re are canonically closed!
Go ahead. But there is no logical reason to close them.
Vetarlit Torf yet there is no logical reason to keep them open you handsome golden man.
@@irmuusanaa4227 Yes there is. Opening the portals brought harmony between humans and spirits.
@@irmuusanaa4227 there's good reasons for and against it and that's the very point of the decision. it's been 3 years in their world and there's still a bunch of conflict over it. co-existence doesn't happen overnight (Wan can speak to that even among just humans).
@@vetarlittorf1807 How? At the start of season 4 we're told that but never really shown that. I guess since there not fighting each other theirs peace between them but they haven't shown how it benefits both parties. Humans can't harness spirt energy cause its too powerful and spirts don't like it, and spirits don't seem to have a big impact for everyday life other than just being there. I would love if the series had delved more into this but it really didn't
I hate what they did with Raiko, in the show it was ambiguous whether he was a shitty politician or Korra was really that terrible. Nope, can’t have ambiguity. Mustache man bad.
I like how they try to play Riako off as a bad guy because he called out Korra for going on vacation while everyone else was fixing the broken city she helped destroy in her fight. And then the only reason she suggests that jullie become president is so that she can agree with her all the time without ever questioning her? All Riako is guilty of is not allowing Korra to use his army in a civil war that he wasn't apart of and he questioned her so hes a bad guy?
@@ItsRemmyy
Raiko was horrible. He still refused to help Korra once she told him that Unalaq was going to cause 10,000 years of darkness. Instead of helping her he wants to use all his troops to protect just once city in the country he runs.
He then has the nerve to blame Korra for the vines when the vines wouldn't have been there if he helped her when she asked for his help.
If it weren't for Korra, Kuvira would have reclaimed the United Republic. Raiko surrendered the capital city to Kuvira within 5 minutes of her arrival.
Raiko himself didn't do anything to help those who lost their homes. He was to focus on his reelection campaign then helping his fellow countrymen.
@@GreatUniter I know hes a bad person. I'm talking about this one scene. He wasn't a bad person in this scene. And he had a right to blame korra for the vines. From their perspective, she wouldn't close the portals which meant the vines were going to stay. He also isn't horrible for not including his army in a war that wasn't theirs. His duty wasn't to the water tribe.
@@ItsRemmyy
Closing the portals wouldn't have meant the vines would go away. Wan closed the portals 10,000 years ago yet there is a massive swamp of spirit vines in the EK that are far more potent with spiritual energy than the ones in Republic City before the time of Harmonic Convergence in Book 2 of Korra.
It was his fault as Korra would have been able to prevent Vaatu from escaping as she wouldn't have to waste time fighting through Unalaq's army. If Vaatu never escaped he would never be able to fuse with Unalaq and the two would have never covered a section of the city with spirit vines.
I'm not saying he's horrible for not including his army in the civil war. He's horrible because once he learned that if he didn't help Korra it would potentially result in 10,000 years of darkness for the entire world. He had a proper reason for getting involved once she told him newer details of the situation. He is also horrible because he only wants to protect a single city in the entire country he runs.
@@GreatUniter I wouldn’t say Raiko’s mistake in season two makes him a bad person. The word I would use is misguided. Can’t really fault the guy for wanting to protect the country that he runs.
"What ever happened to the whole monks detaching themselves from things?"
THANK YOU SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE WRITERS IN THE BACK
i dunno why people are so fixated on this. If this was so common, how come an anarchist airbender weeb who lost his GF was one of the first characters in centuries to attain what people dismissed as a legend?
we saw from TLA S1 E4 that monks had relationships. They played games and built friendships. Aang's whole conflict that lead to him being an iceberg was based around not being able to maintain these earthly bonds. Clearly Guru Laghima's plilosophies were at best a radical interpretation of airbending.
the airbenders stopped doing that in season 3. did any of you even watch the show?
raze2012 zaheer wasn’t part of the nomads. He was just some random person who studied hem or something. He was never part of the culture
@@BabyGirlTiny yea, that's why I jokingly called him an "Airbender weeb" lol.
Not to be rude, but what westerners define as detachment has nothing to do with that it actually is. It’s not “not caring” but it’s just acceptance of things and not letting it make you suffer.
They should not keep bring up Korrasami at the wrong time the main focus should of been dealing with the crisis to show the characters about the others in their world and show Asami and Korra being supportive and working out the problem together taking a little slower and them being supportive of each other
Not all comic continuations of cartoons are bad, I thought Gravity Falls lost legends was great. Also you should do a sarcastic summary of gravity falls.
Yes i agree
and avatar the last air bender comics are great not as good as the show but still great
They had no issue aresting and raiding asumi's family and cabbagecorp during season season 1 and Varic got arested so the cops wont touch wealthy industrialists seems dumb when we've seen them do it with literally every major corporation to apear in Korra prior to this point.
I liked Turf Wars, I wanted to see what would happen after the series ended and more of Korra and Asami's relationship now that Nickelodeon's Standards and Practices were no longer an issue - and it delivered on both.
But it does have problems - namely, the fact that Korra and Asami are told that not everyone supports their kind of relationship and they will face bigotry... only for the trilogy to end with nothing of the sort happening. It shares one of the biggest faults the series had as well - they do an awful lot of TELLING about these bad things, but they never actually SHOW us the problem.
Frankly, I'd be more interested in the Aang comics.

Sooo, let me get this straight: Korra is still an impulsive hotbead who resorts to violence as her first option, Bolin is still just a comic relief, Mako....I got nothing, and Asami still the voice of reason. Did these characters ever develop once throughout the show?
Wait I tought Korra fans kepts saying she developed from season 1 to 4. What happened?
@@mememe4188 idk bro they just wanna lie
@@mememe4188 Korra? Developing? That's news to me. When did she take the "peaceful" approach to something? When did she try to "talk things out" in order to solve something? Literally, all she ever did was beat the bad guy, and when a problem arose, her first instinct was to kick it
@@floricel_112 there's more dimenstions to a character than pacifist vs. hothead. By that metric, Aang changed very little and the plot bended to make sure he could stay a pacifist by the end of the show.
Korra's whole development since the ending parts of S1 revolved around her 1) overcoming her thoughts that "without power I am nothing" and 2) accepting that she as avatar doesn't necessarily have to carry the world on her shoulders. That doesn't mean she's as peaceful as an air nomad now , but it does mean she's generally more willing than previously to seek council and keep people in her life in the know on situations.
@@raze2012_ yeah, but Aang was an immature kid who learned to accept his role as the avatar while still maintaining his beliefs as an air nomad, while maturing bit by bit at the same time
I just realized that the vines in Republic City were a result of the Dark Avatar not by the spirt portals being opened. Even if they were closed the vines would still be their. I bring this up because the vines are the ONLY big change that happens after the portals are left opened! And with that being debunked it makes Season 2 all the more pointless. You might argue that it brought the Airbenders back but it was never stated whether that was because of the portal or Harmonic Convergence.
That’s fine, I like season 2 being pointless since it makes it easier for me to ignore.
The vines had spiritual energy in them because the portals were open. That's why Korra was able to locate the missing people who were abducted by the angry vines and were locked in the spirit world.
Another thing, the Airbenders were brought back because the portals were open during harmonic convergence and a lot of spiritual energy entered the human world that enabled them to bend. But tbh i find it stupid. Cause the spiritual energy wasn't airbending specific. So how tf it didn't cause other element benders as well
I mean, Air kinda makes sense, because if I'm not mistaken, Male and Female air monks actually lived separetly. North and South Temples were for Air Monks, East and West for Air Nuns, like real convents.
So in a place where there is only men and only women, who meet very rarely, it makes sense for there to be lots of gay relationships.
It does make sense for religious orders, but those don't usually make up the entirety of an ethnic population. How do they decide who to have kids with?
It is implied that children are communally raised, so they don't necessarily need long term couples. But it does open up several questions that aren't easily answered on kid's TV.
@@BonaparteBardithion I assume it must be like a tiger: the man and women only meet during the "mating season", and the children are raised by the monks if male and the nuns if female.
@@presidenttogekiss635
When do they meet though? Unlike tigers, humans don't have a specific "heat" that tells them when to go out and produce offspring. Do they have regular get-togethers for specifically this purpose?
Or, since they travel a lot, do they visit each temple freely? Do they meet each other out in the world? Even if some monks/nuns choose to become long-term partners, they theoretically live seperately. Does marriage traditionally exist in their society?
Edit:
Additional thought: It's proven that you can inherit bending from either parent. Do they partner with non-air people and just deliver the kid to the monks if it happens to be a bender? Do non-bending offspring become the acolytes? The gender division and their geographical isolation raises many questions about their lifestyles. It'd be interesting to see that delved into some way.
It is pretty simple actually.
They most likely do orgies and fertility celebrations for that specific purpose.
If the children are communally raised, there isn’t really a need for a monogamous couple, though there might be a small track of who is related to whom to avoid inbreeding.
Edit: they probably keep track of family lines through mother-daughter family lines, which are much easier to follow and less controlling of women’s sexual agency than tracking family lines through father-son (which requires a lot more control over the women since a man can’t really guarantee the children are his, at least not before the advent of dna testing).
Keeping in mind that they also do not have a strong concept of family, but community, so even if it sounds alien to most of us, the air nomads would not have high importance to concepts like father and mother, or the idea of “my” children.
Since these points will most likely never be explored, this is my fanfic idea of how the air nomads would operate.
@@BonaparteBardithion Actually, it has been stated that the Air nomads had the smallest overall population of the four nations, but that they were almost ALL benders.
So I assume that breeding with a non-airbender was frowned upon.
I assume it could be both a festival in which they meet every year, or they travel to the other air temples specifically for that role, kinda like elephants.
but I don't think traditional marriage as we know exists in the Air Nomads, at least before Aang.
I think I might be in the minority who actually liked the spirit hybrids.
Also kinda sad it looks like he won't review the other Korra comic "Fall of an Empire"

Korra: “i have a girlfriend”
Tonroq: “that’s wonderful sweetie”
Korra: “i’m going to tell everyone!”
Tonroq: “that might not be a good idea”
Korra: “UR A BIGOT REEEEEE!”
Literally how it went down
Tonroq told korra not to tell others people not because of safety or to save herself from possible discrimination but because he viewed that as the culturally acceptable to have same sex relations. Or maybe I'm wrong

@@justsomeguywithadogpicture2622 So? ALoK is also really good but he still parodied that. There are plenty of things to roast about ATLA.
that is a thing i didn't like about korrasami couple. didn't feel earn. I was litterally confused when people told me that they were a thing at the end. like seriously i've interpreted it as "yay let's go on a trip together" i saw more this as friendship than as a romance. Because you know not every interaction means relationship and these two never felt like really a thing.
Especially when i compare them to catradora. every minute, every second i knew that there was a thing between these two. while between korra and asami, nothing. I'm not saying i'm right, apparently seeing the comics and the writers i'm completely wrong but this still bothers me. It actually feels the same way disney treats love. like they've known eachothers for some time and one day *pouf* we're together. me : "wait what ? when that happened ?"
and on top of that the reactions are really weird, like their friends are happy for them, their parents too, it just feels weird not natural. i actually wanted them to be surprise or be like "oh my god i knew it ! we've bet on that" korra : "you've bet on what now ?" i can see some of my friends reacting like that. they didn't go on the real confrontation with older mentallity. And i'm also surprised they chose kya over bumi, Bumi felt like the better choice for an alternative story. while kya is just the easy choice for a lesbian interaction. and the fact that they talk so much about it also didn't help.
while in she--ra from beginning to end you knew that these interactions existed. they never had to say to your face that they existed. (the only relationship that didn't feel normal to me was scorpia and perfuma. felt like a one way relationship but that's my thought on this one)
i was really disappointed in their choices, i think i would have been more happy with a bumi talking about an old relationship in the show than watching a post comic korrasami screaming at me "homosexuality is GOOD"
BUT there is one thing important. i think they still made the right choice to make it because korrasami and other stories like that are steps that brought she-ra to be made and that is a really great thing to recognise.
Funny that this villain will never be mentioned again.
I think you should do a Sarcastic Summary of Wakfu, it's underrated sure but it would very interesting to watch you tackle that story.
The comics act as of Korra didn't change from Book 1 to the finale.
Me : watches video cuz I finished the comics
Sarcastic chorus : don't read the comics cuz there bad
Not really a continuation, but the Young Justice and Stretch Armstrong tie-in comics are pretty good. They fit the show perfectly and are written by the show's creators and writing staff. Also, She-Ra had a pretty good graphic novel that, despite being a standalone story, fits thematically well with the show, especially post-season 4.
korra and asami being gay/bi is believable but I wish they had set it up in the least bit! the light interaction the two characters had in the show seemed like friendship at best and even that was hard to get into at times considering korra caused mako to cheat on asami
I was having a bad day today until I was watching your video and you said"Oh Kuriveria is back next week and do they give her a personality Nope".Idk why it made me laugh so much but thanks.
'Kuriveria' lmao how-
Kuvira*
My God, CLOSE THE DAMN PORTAL ALREADY! IT CAUSED MORE TROUBLE THAN IT'S WORTH
Also, these particular comics have flaws that the show itself always had. The way they handled non-straight relationships was well-intentioned but really sloppy ("That guy was the worst!") and the political aspect of the second arc gets ruined by a REALLY stupid plot twist, which I won't spoil if you haven't read it yet.
EDIT: The Zhu Li side plot really feels like a 2016 elections response. Not even subtle about it.
Korrasami is literally worse than the Season 1 love triangle and that's saying something
0:40 the intro music really goes with A.TLOK bit
Was looking forward to this video all week!
I genuinely really liked the legend of korra, (if you couldn’t tell from my pfp) and the korrasami ship. I know it has its flaws, but I still love it.
You know now that you say it bumi I could to slay see it
I actually like the ATLA and AT comics
For a second I thought you had forgotten this national treasure :v
I literally just got an add that was an animation of Zuko and Iroh reuniting in the spirit world and I don't regret it
This whole arc was a big mess. It went overboard on pushing Korrasami. Instead of having Kora actually do her job and Asami supporting her through the stress, they went on vacation right after a massive disaster that left all those people homeless. There is obvious tension between the spirits and the humans, the gangs, and political issues but Korra's too into Asami to really do the whole balancing thing. Then they pushed the president out for no reason other than not being obedient to Korra's whims and put in Zhu Li; we never saw anything from her that would say "Hey, she'd make a great president!"
idk what didn't sit right with me more, the animation of this comic or the whole "sweetie" thing between aang and katara
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
as much as a love korrasami, It's awful. there was no build up in all of the 4 seasons it was given between all the useless love archs, dark avatars and _mechs_ they could have squeezed SOMTHING in there other than bits of dialog where is you do some serious mental gymnastics is similar to flirting. I was hoping the comic would compensate for the lack of build up by actually developing their relationship, but as I've found out today: _that couldnt be further from the truth_
Well... I feel like the main (/only) reason people love korrasami is bc it's representation.
And yep turf wars was a disappointment. In the show, I understand why they wanted to focus more on the main plot (especially after that love triangle love square? Disaster), but there was no excuse for their relationship to be done badly in the comic.
Now that you say that I think thats the only reason I like korrasami as well ( also cuz its really adorable when done right )

So this show is doing the sprinkle gay everywhere thing from She ra, but very poorly?
Okay if the covers are going to use the art style of the show, it is extremely misleading to then not do so for ANY of the actual comics within said covers.
Well I already read this comic twice and overall I did like it, with the only problem being the regression of President Raiko.
Ready for the paragraphs
I like the next one okay actually.
also no one hates more Game of Thrones than Game of Thrones fans
Very brave of you to review a fanfiction, SC.
Wait.
This is real?
And it's CANON?
Yikes.
please do ruins of the empire next your videos are the best
When he said DILF 🤣🤣
When u think about it what happened to tokuga is what happens to the avatar wan and Korra they bonded with spirits it’s obviously not on the same level but essentially it’s the same thing
I loved this show, but I did't liked korrasami because everithing was too sudden, without a backstory like in Shera
That's on the list titled, "Ways Nickelodeon Screwed Over The Creators".
@@pokemonmaster0079 Not everything is Nicke's fault. Bryke themselves screwed the series through their own choices. While the channel can be blamed for some of the scheduling the creators themselves still created the overarching plot of the series.
@@marlonbrando1631 this one kinda is tho? "I wanna do this with the show's characters" "no you cannot do this, muh ratings and much backlash". What you gonna do short of quitting and trying to pitch to another network?
@@marlonbrando1631 How'd the creators of the show undercut themselves?
To be fair, Shera was only able to do what it did because Korra and other shows paved the ground for networks to allow such relationships to be showed in the first place.
I thought it was obvious that when Korra was aired, gay relationships were still a huge No no
To this day I still find more mangas with enjoyable gay couples than american comics.
Unlike the last airbender comics, these have zero purpose whatsoever...there's no point to them.
I actually love the comics and as a Korrasami shipper I’m delighted that they reminded all they time they are together!!! Korrasami rights! 😆
I remember hating this comics so much
wait so we not gon talk about a crystal bender? A CRYSTAL BENDER
Great video 👌
Really even Avatar the last Airbender
Those eyes. They're all so creepy- looking. They remind me of this cartoony looking guy with a high voice that killed my brother.
The TLA comics were actually really good though. Plus it went out of its way to bridge a lot of narrative gap between TLA and ToK.
Nah, for me the TLA comics are just ok. Not bad, but also not exciting. Especially the last comics "North and South" and "Imbalance" were very boring.
@@whitedragon4552 I believe it peaked at "The Rift". And I feel the next three tried to bridge that gap that people where jilted by in Korea. I think these comics exist to answer questions that Nickelodeon didn't initially give them the chance to answer. North and South felt very fillery, but once again explained how Southern water tribe changed to what we had in Korra. And Imbalance lays groundwork for what would be S1 of Korra.
@@boluporter1529 Yes i guess. I think it is just a pity that the ATLA comics in the end are primarily just there to fill in the huge gap between Avatar and Korra. They dont feel like a natural continuation from The Last Airbender in my opinion. I also didnt like the first comics like "The Promise" or "The Search" but at least from storytelling they felt for me more thought out than those later comics.
Character development? Whatever is that?! Reason and common sense? Nah-uh! I'm the Avatar, bent the knea, you homeless bitches! What do you mean I MADE you homeless? Im thE AvatAR, IM Ok, you'RE Not.
watched
still waiting for the kuvira comic sarcastic summary...
0:32 Where might this image be from?
I agree bumi should have been gay
Can you do a real talk episode of season 3 and 4 of lok
You should collab with E;R
The most decently written Avatar Comic was The Search
the crystal triad is stupid, because the crystals they use is rock candy! And fragile as glass in this one, it took one hit at a wall to destroy it.
Do most people actually dislike the ATLA comics? They’re not amazing but I quite like them, and I never heard anything bad about them
How does the spirit mutation thing work?
Is it whenever a spirit touches a human? Do they have to go through them? Does it only happen on purpose? Can they undo it?
