Fun fact, this is Book 2 Chapter 10 of Korra and we're back in the library, which, in original series, was also in Chapter 10 of Book 2.
So cool
huh
Oh. Nice 😁👍
Nice!
Alexander Kot no
"What happened to my little girl?!"
This part killed me every time.
JK Simmons does such an amazing job with him, like for the first book I thought it was just someone that sounded similar. It’s funny because Varrick carries his typical cadence as JJ Jameson and Cave Johnson
between this and leaves from the vine, the idea of having children has always scared me cuz knowing that something bad could happen to them and i wouldnt be able to stop it is a horrifying concept.
tenzin is the best father if not perfect
Wan Shi Tong considers Unalaq an ally. After Aang broke the spirit's trust, the avatar's word meant shit to Wan Shi Tong. In the owl's eyes, the avatar was willing to deceive the spirits to fulfill his own agenda. This is a prime example of karma (or rather karmic retribution), another eastern philosophical tenet. This means the decisions of the past will reverberate for better or for worse in the future.
We could go into it starting with Yangchen, but to save time we'll use Kyoshi... Avatar Kyoshi created the Dai Li and Kyoshi Warriors, inevitably leading to the downfall of Ba Sing Se. Roku's karma was his indecision to kill Sozin, spawning the hundred year war and the air nomad genocide, which Aang had to make amends for.
Now Aang's broken promise to Wan Shi Tong will have it's reckoning with Korra.
Huh… now that you put it like that, we can even still see the reverberations of Kyoshi and the Earth King's feud in the Season 4 conflict.
i call b.s wan shi tong is supposed to be super wise but if he was wise he would have seen that Aang's goals were noble and for the better of the universe
No because Wan Shi Tong's point was that everyone is a hero from their own perspective, so he decided to be neutral.
Well said!
houseofaction Aangs goals weren’t better for the universe, they were better for the world, in which Wan shi tong could give less of a fuck about.
Iroh was the best thing to happen in this episode.
Followed closely by chubby Korra :D

Chubby does not mean fat.
DXDragon3895 I Always imagined the scene with jinora and wan shi tong,going a little different,Imagine if proffesser zei was still alive after all that time,I would imagine a funny scenario where the proffesser tells jenora,that he met the avatar(aang) and his friends a few days ago.before ,she arrived. Then jinora has to break the news to the proffesser that's it been a long time since he last met aang.
DXDragon3895 g,GN NG,, ,,
He was the best thing in this season
9:32 "You two look lost. Maybe I can help you."
yep. That moment.
Watch it four times to see each of their faces.
Rena looked on the verge of crying
Oh the moment. I went ape shit crazy first time.
I love that iroh is wearing Earth Kingdom clothes. Even with Zuko taking over as firelord, he always considered Ba sing se his home.
GrizzleyBruin that could just be how he died
In the DVD commentary, the creators joke about an alternate ending where Asami ends up with General Iroh (the current LoK one), who is in his 30s, and Mako says "isnt he too old for you" and she says "no, I'm 29, how old are YOU?" and Mako says hes 18 and Asami just awkwardly walks away
Lmao 😬 ups
That would have been fucking amazing.
XD
Is this commentary available anywhere online? I've been looking for it for ATLA as well. After enough rewatches I really wanna hear their thoughts
That would be amazing🤣
The spirit world isn't an afterlife. As far as we're told, dead just means dead. So Iroh and his son wouldn't have been reunited in any way except speculation.
Ving Rhames
Yeah. There is no afterlife in eastern mythology. Instead it's usually reincarnation.
Shitstirrer No. You are incorrect. The entire eastern philosophy is centered around preventing reincarnation to prevent the 4 factors of materialistic existence. The idea of the ideal afterlife would be to be in the prescence of the supreme entity. To attain that which transcends existence, absolute permanancy. To be with the omnipotent is the goal of life. To truly love and to feel that which mere gestures of the material existence cannot. I'm a Hindu which is a religion in South Asia and correlates to Buddism, so I have some knowledge of this fundamental nature.
the dead do go to the spirit world. example Aang is currently in the spirit world and his children meet him there
Abijeet Rajasekaran thats Buddhism yes, but this isn’t based on ONLY Buddhism. This world does seem to use reincarnation, but there hasn’t been anything alluding to enlightenment.
houseofaction I think that Aang is in the Spirit World because he is the avatar and thus half spirit. We don't see any other humans that died normally in the spirit world
"He's still there?"
shows skeleton
"Oh"
Literally cried when I saw Iroh
sammmme!!!
I did too
Same
Me too!
Why?
i would love to see a moment, maybe in the comics, of zuko entering the spirit world and seeing Iroh, and when the camera or the page turns back to zuko, he is he teenage self, as he cries seeing iroh
Leaves from the vine... falling so slow...
This is why instead of shitting on a show, be it a season or certain episodes, it’s best to let them decide for themselves.
this is the best episode of the season, they're drunk on nostalgia like everyone else was during this episode. they haven't gotten to the stupid Pacific Rim resolution
Kaleb Ninja idk how it was stupid. The amount of spiritual energy was amplified exponentially and while the Korra v Unaloq fight was awesome, it would have been boring otherwise to see someone who can only bend water fight someone who has all the elements at their disposal. It also makes sense that Vatuu was able to completely consume Unaloq considering his almost fetishistic interest in spiritual control
I mean you can shit on it, just don't shit on it in public where other people can see and be influenced by it lol.
Didn't they say it themselves that they're kind of glad that so many people warned them about how bad it was? That now they can enjoy it even more
yep, and it may be the "worst" season of the avatar franchise.... but you know avatars worst is still better than than most best so. shrug In general, Korra had more risk in storytelling than ATLA. which made it sometimes better and sometimes not up to par with ATLA in my eyes, Still one of my fave shows out there. In my eye its critique on details.
Also, we havent gone through ep 13 yet... we will see what the normies say then >:) I expect Nahid will hate it.
Aang’s badass, Korra’s badass, everything about the Avatar series is a badass. Can’t we all just get abong?
@Ronit ganguly easy there tiger
@@ANTIStraussian This comment made my entire day, this entire comment sequence was beautiful.
Ronit ganguly Now hold on there partner…
@Ronit ganguly Don't push it, pal
@@ANTIStraussian you should have said 'easy there tigerdillo'
Honestly in retrospect I really can't see why I was such a Korra season 2 hater back in the day, maybe re-watching it via your reactions it isn't as bad as I thought.
Kaylee Reppel season 2 finale falls short for me. That's all I'll say.
I'll tell you why. Maybe you were hanging around a lot of season 2 haters? Or people who really disliked it? It happened to me and when I rewatched it it was different expirience.
Juan Gonzalez yeah it falls short but is still not that bad
It was always the ending that put me off, that and the love triangle drama, aside from that it's pretty decent not fantastic- just ok but damn the history of the first avatar was great and Iroh coming back had me screaming
Like everything leading up to the finale was such a build up, and then the finale comes and the fight choreography is TERRIBLE. And come on giant spirit Korra? Such a bad idea, I feel like they tried to recreate last Airbender season 1 finale when Aang combines with the ocean spirit. And did a terrible job.

@@Commander_Shepard. that's some quality meme right there
I never figured that Unalaq was influencing or controlling Wan Shi Tong, I think any spirit at that level is kind of above being influenced by human emotions or whatever, they have distinct personalities and roles in the world. I think Wan Shi Tong is just along for the ride with Unalaq since he's probably flattered him, given him knowledge and built himself up as very respectful of the spirits whereas from Wan Shi Tong's perspective, nearly every other human that's come to his library in a long time has tried to trick him or manipulate him (and was worse at it than Unalaq is, I guess).
I always took it that Wan Shi-Tong was just allied with Vaatu because he didn't like humans.
also say what you want: Unalaq is honest about bringing more spiritual balance to the world. his methods are questionable but for wan shi tong not really.
I really don't think Wan Shi Tong is being influenced much here. Wan Shi Tong has a history of humans failing his trust and love for knowledge with a neutral stance. He grew to dislike them more and more, he already was like that in ATLA. And then Aang, actually gave him his word that they wouldn't misuse his library, but even the Avatar lied and betrayed him. If you see the whole episode, Wan Shi Tong grows weary and leaves for Unalaq once Jinora mentions that she came with, and is a friend of the Avatar.
Also strong spirits (which Wan Shi Tong is) seem to be able to resist being swept up in others emotions much more. (For example fire-bird-dragon thing)
+Tom W: Uhh... Unalaq wants to kill Raava and in doing so completely destroy balance.
James Geary makes sense
Tenzin's last line always tears me up!
I think Vaatu's presence has affected Korra/Raava from influencing the spirits (especially the "lesser" spirit).
Jacky me too!
I NEVER noticed the change in animation
This is one of the best episodes, even of the entire series in my opinion.
Timo this is a episode I can see my self always watching and making me wanna give Korra another chance but I say thanks to the normies (idk how to spell XD) and there talking in the beginning does help me think about Korra a bit differently
Timo wtf for 1 month???
Eh not really. It's fun with all of the fan service and good animation but the plot of it is atrocious. So many plot holes and things that just straight up don't make sense.
Ricky Ricardo what fucking plot whole u just saying bs
The next episode is also incredible.
I wouldn't say Aang didn't have any problems, because he did have problems he had to deal with. I just think in comparison to Korra's problems, it's not only different, but there's also the fact that the both of them have different ways of handling said problems.
Child Korra was just phenomenal! Reverting Korra to her childhood state was an incredible move in symbolizing her stinted growth spiritually. I also wasn't expecting Iroh to come along and be her guide but it definitely worked out for the best! Iroh has always been a man of wisdom, patience, and kindness so he definitely seemed to be the best choice for a spiritual guide.
Iroh's still dishing out tea and wisdom! "When you look for the light, you can often find it; but if you look for the dark, that is all you will ever see" This could honestly be applied to not only life in general, but also with this show overall in terms of the positives and negatives of it (most especially the negatives since a lot of people like to focus on that a lot).
I don't think Korra has it in her to just sit back and watch Unalaq basically murder Jinora in front of her. Even if it's obvious he'll betray her, there wasn't really much of a choice when he's literally threatening to kill her in that moment. We also have to consider that this was not only Tenzin's daughter which may have been the major reason why she gave in easily, but this was also Korra's friend and loved one as well. I mean, she had a hard time accepting her father's initial death sentence, remember?
And on top of all of that, that's technically her granddaughter as well 😁
AvrgDerk Lol in a sense :P
Some people say Korra was foolish to open the portal but it was a no win situation for her! Jinora would have been erased for good if Korra didn’t accept. Unaloq was gonna break his word to release her but Unaloq was a powerful manipulator who made his own brother expelled from the northern water tribe and made Korra betray Tenzin and open the portals. This was not all Korra’s fault
And she did not have her powers
Of course Wan Shi Tong would side with Unalaq. When Aang went into his library, he lied to his face that he wasn't seeking knowledge to harm the Fire Nation and then did just that. He wouldn't then just let Aang's granddaughter into his library after that. And Unalaq has had good relations with the spirits for decades.
And now......greatness begins Studio Mir + Korra= We are bonded forever.
Ugh, such an underrated episode! This is the moment where Avatar Korra starts her journey to become the wonderful character that LOK fans know her to be.
If you love this just wait only to book 3 😂
Oh boy. Like 2 more months until then.
ZAHEER............
Soumyadeep Mondal pls give me your patreon account xdd
Monserrat Poot Book 3 is literally perfect
OH YEAH!... NAHID WILL LOVE ZAHEER!!
21:30 Nahid obviously talking about that time he did acid in college haha
Seems like more than one time lol. They probably have done psychedelics together on a few occasions
aang lost his entire culture and didnt even know about it until 100 years later, where he was the last of his kind + the avatar. life had him eat shit, that's why he is more mature, mentally strong (plus ofc monk training).
korra on the other hand was raised in safety with her parents until she was 17, never had to really face life.
i can see why she appears so childish and annoying at first, but i think her growth can be seen over the seasons, which makes it a wonderful show.
the portal allows you to enter the spirit world with the body, so he was able to bend water! he did this a few episodes ago along with the children !
Fascinating how they compare light and dark energy in the spirit world to good and bad trips. Snoop Dogg must be the most spiritual man on earth.
😂😂
Jayjay2961 Snoopdog the avatar in mastering the drugs.
Snoop dogg just smokes a lot of weed. That won't make you see shit. They were talking about LSD.
Snoop is our Avatar.
"ey baby girl can i call u back?".....LOL why his voice go all deep like that.
It's not season 2 is bad. Season 2 is okay. It's just season 3 and 4 are just way better.
4 is boring tho imo. The first episodes at least.
No... season 2 is pretty bad. I think people cut it way too much slack because they're fond of the Avatar Universe as a whole and don't want to admit that their favorite franchise could have a genuinely bad installment.
Ben Wenger The only Epsiodes that was bad was 2x5 and 2x6 and Jinora light other than that book 2 been better than book 4 for me
Lol no
Andre Ferreras it is pretty bad. Probably the worst season of tv ever
"Sometimes, life is like this dark tunnel. You can't always see the light at the end of the tunnel. But if you just keep moving... you will come to a better place." - Iroh, the Dragon of the West.
Rana is a gem. Her facial expressions make me laugh! OMG @31:40 on repeat XD!!!
C.H. F 🤓😆
Wan Shi Tong wasn't influenced he just holds a grudge thanks to Sokka.
Den Hitashi Yeah. Unalaq probably straight up told him that he wanted to get rid of the Avatar and Wan Shi Tong was like "Hell yeah. Lets do it"
Adrian Miller doesn't that contradicts Wan Shit Tong's belief about humans waging war?
Paul Babon He was never against fighting, he was just against people using his hard earned knowlegde to fight. Or i could be completely wrong. Thats why i live speculation
He also holds a grudge against Aang. Aang promised they could be trusted and not use his knowledge. Don’t forget his comment he said to Aang about them thinking they’re the first ones to believe their war was justified. If Sokka had made that promise he probably wouldn’t have been as angry since Sokka is just a human. But Aang is the bridge between the spirit world and human one, and he probably viewed it as betraying the spirits
Her light was easy to find and shine when she was a child, but she is an adult again, and her light is once again buried deep and she will need time to find it again
when tenzin asks korra what happened to his little girl it felt so real. sends chills down my spine everytime
I woke up to this being uploaded 21 secs ago yesssss I love u guys ❤️
ImpulseGod This is the proper way of declaring "First".
Full Charge yes this is a true fan of the channel
My dudes. Physically walk through the portal into the spirit world, you keep your bending. Meditate in, no bending.
"Can I say something off camera?"
"Yes, I was thinking the same thing"
"Alright, cool"
Their conversation must've been quite the trip...
Korra Book 2: the high's are higher, but the low's are lower compared to the rest of the franchise.
Ep. 1-6 are average and form the worst part of an amazing show. Ep. 7-14 are down right amazing and contain some of my favorite scenes and moments of the franchise. It's just more polarizing...the quality varies more with ups and downs while the other seasons of ATLA and korra are more consistent... Blame the production issues of Korra book 2 for that...
helemaal mee eens
René Dijkema Tbh it's was just Epsiode 5 and 6 I didn't like
René Dijkema It is completely upside down the second half is the main reason why people think the show is not as good as Atla
Spoiler Alert:
i didn’t like the ending i didn’t understand what the heck jinora did
+gerhand stingl Personally, I feel it was actually the other way around too; the first half was meh, and the second - while with issues - was definitely better/more exciting
^A lot of people I've talked to generally agreed as well. Guess we can just say a lot of people go with both views of the season
Wan Shi Tong in ALA was distrustful of humans. Aang convinced him that he and his group were to be trusted; that they wouldn't seek knowledge to gain an advantage over other humans. However, that is exactly what they did. That is why he took his library back to the spirit world. When Jinora said she was with the avatar he became distrustful of her and went to Unalaq (who must have brought him to his side somehow. I don't think Wan Shi Tong is under anyone's influence) .
I'm telling you. Book 2 is criminally underated.
That last line from Tenzin always gives me chills
NOW SEASON 3! NAHID pls edit it! im not a patreon but I believe you among the 4 will have more appreciation and enjoy it the most. NAHID Season 3 is THE SEASON!
I wouldn’t really call Aang a badass (maybe sometimes but definitely not at first). Suraj made a great point tho. Korra’s problems are much more morally grey than Aangs
Aang vs Yakon... whatever that guy name was... a 1 episode to defeat him. Korra took 1 season to defeat Amon, so...
@@evm7261 Actually yakone controlled the city for years
@@evm7261 and Aang was the fucking Avatar for 40 years and he mastered the Avatar state so...
is like comparing a child to a adult
@@evm7261 Be logical atleast.😣
Aang wasn't a badass he was a cinnamon roll😭❤
Lololol, when they heard that Professor Zei was still at the Library, but saw that he was just dead.
about iroh not being with his son: Its an assumption of yours to think that the believe of the afterlife in Avatar world is similar to the judeochristian of ours. They probably do believe more in Rebirth more than an afterlife where you see your dead loved ones. Its never been touched on in the show, but maybe in the comics ( since I havent read them all)
In that case, Iroh's “choice” to live in the Spirit World could be seen as either a metaphor for or an alternative to nirvana (the transcendence of samsara through assimilation into the universe).
no one is actually reborn in this series, not even the avatar. we see that the other avatars reside in the spirit realm
Yeah spirit world ain't really an afterlife. Interesting topic to talk about actually.
houseofaction
The avatar is reincarnated, that was est in the first episode in Atla with Katara saying that some people think the avatar was never reborn into the air nomads and the cycle was broken. Each new Avatar is a reincarnation of Wan; they don’t live in the spirit world after their death, because Wan’s spirit is reincarnated into the new Avatar. They are only seen in the spirit world as the Avatar is relying more on Raava instead of Wan’s spirit. Raava is simply showing the current Avatar their previous lives, but the old Avatars don’t really reside in the spirit world. Don’t forget that at the end of episode 8 Raava says “we will be together for all of your lifetimes” which reinforces the reincarnation cycle
@I. Th. no. Avatar kuruk hunts the facestealer even when the avatar is not in the spirit World
I'd say the people who HATE this season hold Avatar a bit too high of a pedestal and put down the things they don't like about this season. They ironically act like how Iroh talks about the dark.
They focus on the bad and it's all they see out of Season 2, instead of focusing on all the good it does. (Beginnings is a top 5 episode in the series in how beautiful it is and the amount of lore they develop to the Avatar World)
It doesn't help that Season 3 and 4 are better and more consistent than Season 2. Season 1 also was more consistent with amazing animation quality with a big budget while the animation is janky in Season 2.
I'm glad you're enjoying Season 2, it just means Seasons 3 and 4 are going to blow you away.
prophetofgreed First of all, you dont get to make that generalization. I'm so sick of people like you just dismissing people who dont like season 2 and always coming up with some other excuse. You're rude and dont accept different opinions.
Second, you're a hypocrite. If people think the season is mostly bad with only a small amount of good moments, why would they focus on the good? That's just stupid. You dont just pretend the bad doesnt exist. If someone thinks Beginnings was the only good thing about season 2, that means they thought like 90% of the season was bad. And you're acting like they shouldn't say that.
You want people to lie and not be honest about their opinions.
Rick J You hilariously talk about me making generalizations while making many big generalizations about my opinion. That's wild.
Season 2 is still the worst season of Korra but it's not the abomination many make it out to be with some strong episodes in it, I only used Beginnings as an example since they saw it instead of a future episode. I don't see how that makes me hypocritical.
Everyone is free to share their opinion, I just think many people focus too hard on Season's 2 negatives. I'm sharing how I and many others do like the season overall even with its flaws. Instead of downright hating it.
Tone down on the baseless accusations and the anger. It's just a show.
prophetofgreed I would agree. Even this guy above me... Why did he overreact like this? But opinions, opinions...
karl jonson How did I overreact? Did I yell? Attack? Insult? I said similar things that the OP said. But you dont accuse him of overreacting. Why is that?
Rick J i cant believe i just see you over and over again on comments that praise this season at all. Just let people enjoy the fucking show. We get it. You think its hot garbage!! The only thing that you're doing by butting in to everyones comments telling them that they're wrong and you're right, is making everyone think that _you're_ hot garbage bruh. Go rewatch atla or wait until they get to s3, chill the fuck out
Guys the difference between Aang and Korra is their personality. Why do people want Korra to be like Aang? That's boring if you want that to happen. Aang has had a good upbringing with the monk lifestyle and all that. Korra did not. She grew up more normally like an average person would. She's her own person. There's no comparison.
20:20 YES SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK NAHID
Hellz yeah!
karl jonson 2020...? BYE- 😶😃
Lmao when they were talking about getting high af.
LMFAO ikr
Pretty sure they were talking about tripping on either LSD or Mushrooms. Most likely LSD.
Juan Gonzalez I think mushrooms. They're easier to get.
karl jonson speak for yourself, where I'm from Its down right impossible to get shrooms. A few years ago acid was everywhere.
ATLA is about a good person learning to be a good avatar, LOK is about a good avatar learning to be a good person
I don’t think your statement is quite accurate or fair. Korra wasn’t a bad person, she was just stubborn and hot headed and had no spiritual connection. She had to learn the spiritual side of being the avatar and learn to cool her temper. She was always decisive whereas Aang wasn’t until the very end. She was quick to act and was a powerhouse that never thought of consequences. Aang had to learn how to be the avatar whereas Korra had to learn how to be more of a human and find her identity and not just be the avatar
"Oh! They got... what where they again?"
Umm... Foxes? >_>
To bend in the spirit world you need your physical body, so by entering through the portal your body and spirit enters the spirit world. If you meditate in only your spirit enters, leaving your body behind in a meditative state, and your spirit cant bend physical elements. And for me this season never sucked, it was just the worst of the 4. The first halves story with the relationships and moody Korra was no good, and the animation was unbearable after watching Book 1. The second half of this season really does make up for all of the shortcomings.
which makes no sense since energy bending is the basis off all bending since they are there in energy form they should be able to bend
that's so convoluted and I hate that they did that just to give Unalaq more plot armor
Ricky Ricardo Actually this stuff is explain in the first series by Aang, and here by Unalaq two times so...pay attention, isn't that hard. They didn't change the lore to give more force to the villain, they just respect what was already stabilized.
Rhaegar right so it was established before this episode that bending was possible in the spirit world if you enter through a portal? It was established before this episode that the library somehow traveled to the spirit world? It was established before this episode that being positive in the spirit world makes everything else positive? No, wait, I'm pretty sure all of those things were only explained after they happened to rationalize a convoluted plot.
Ricky Ricardo Yes, Unalaq already said that they're was going to bring to the spiritual world something that was never brought, the bending. Wan Shi Tong already said that no human would be able to steal the knowledge of his library again, and then he moved the library to the spiritual world, we saw this in A:TLA guy, or you think that he would sink into the sand and kill himself? Come on. Wasn't this episode to stabilize that powerful spirits can influence on the spirits form, the beggings part.2 established this, because actually this series can establish what they want, this is canon. (Thinking now Aang influence the Panda Spirit in that episode, so... pay attention)
If you enter the spiritual world by one of the portals you can bend, If you enter meditating you can't bend
34:10 If only I could watch all the remaining episodes and into book three. Early access can be a double edged sword :P
18:35 Rana and Mickey represent the two types of reactors the emotional and the analyst
I keep telling y'all, the most vocal people about Korra are the haters. People hate loudly and love things quietly. Literally every single TH-camr that embarks on the Korra reaction train literally always asks "why did you guys say it's so bad?". Literally every single time. Korra is an amazing story, yes I loved Aang's story but Korra just resonates much stronger for me. This is my 5th time re-watching it and damnit is it a good show.
It's with everything like that, isn't it. Damn.
The haters of LoK are mostly people that dont understand the layers of the show.
@@JamesWiseMagic I have to disagree with you there. I did defend Legend of Korra a bit too much the first few times when I saw it but the more times I saw it, I had to eventually just admit to myself that I might of been defending a lot of the dumb decisions they made with this show. :/
I dunno Might be just me.
Nah
IROH! We all need an Iroh in our lives, seriously lol I loved it all! And tiny adorable Korra and the Phoenix Dragon, so cool! And it was nice to see the Library again. I love how this episode described the effects of positive and negative energy, because like they said, that kind of thing effects everything and everyone around you. And they show it through Jinora, Korra and Unalaaq. So good! (:
I first watched this six years ago when I was still really young. I liked it more than most back then but rewatching Korra now, it's a extremely different experience, much deeper than I remember.
The fan service is strong with this one.
I. Th. Lmao
I genuinely think that 50% of what people consider to be good about LOK is just fanservice. That's why it isn't nearly as good as ATLA in my opinion.
I. Th. Fan service is something added with the intention of pleasuring the fans, even at the sacrifice of artistic quality. How can you possibly say including Iroh and Wan Shi Tong, even though neither of their appearances makes complete sense, isn't fan service?
I. Th. Zuko was fan service tbh
LuminaryPrism75 What’s wrong with pleasing your fans? :)
WHAT HAPPENED TO MY LITTLE GIRL!?! this broke me as a child cause my mom had been scared like this before and i new that's how she had felt and how he felt and it made me cry
19:16 was so perfectly timed lol
I believe this is why reaction channels exist. This right here. Your reactions to iroh are amazing. And it's only because you had to watch all of ATLA, and all the way through 1 and 1/2 seasons of TLOK. And iroh was hands down one of the best characters of ATLA.
Feeling that book 3 hype! My favorite Korra book
I think my favorite thing about season two is that Rana gets it - through and through. That woman has a heart of gold and it shows in her reactions, but I feel it especially all throughout the themes of season 2.

We all need a uncle iroh in our life
We only saw Aang go to the spirit world once, when he met Koh the face stealer. Every other time Aang was an astral body in the real world. For some reason astral bodies are blue in the real world and colored in the spirit world.
Mavoc He went to the Spirit World in Book 3 during The Avatar and the Firelord.
That one is a bit odd as most of the episode he was an astral body in the real world but in the past. It is very unclear if it was a real journey or one that just took place in his mind. It is odd though that at first they were in full color on a peak above the clouds, which again may be just a mental place or it could be the spirit world. Though it could also be just a mistake.
Mavoc He entered the spirit world. They literally say it.
They throw around the term "spirit world" all throughout the show when it does not apply. Usually it is Katara, Sokka, and Toph none of whom are experts on the subject and are just looking at Aang's meditating body. Most of the time it is Aang in the real world in his astral body. The episode with the angry panda forest spirit is a prime example of misuse of the term as Aang himself misused it and it is the episode Blindwave kept using whenever they discussed the spirit world to their own confusion.
Mavoc Bro, we saw Aang enter the Spirit World
I really got lord of the rings vibes from this episode, with that dark montain and the part when Vaatu brings korra to him
I thought Korra's 16-17 years old during 1-3 seasons
Freak Person she’s 17 or 18 I believe. 17 during season 1
She’s 17 in Book One, 18 in Two and Three and 21 in Book Four
Iroh definitely has some of the best lines from both series!
i liked the expression you had when you found out about prof. zei
This season is like The Last Jedi of the Avatar series. It's polarizing, with some very shitty points- but some very, very amazing points as well. At any rate, I'm increasingly eager to see your guys' reaction to these upcoming episodes! Cheers!
Nerdist Network No, this is way better than The Last Jedi 😂
Unalaq can bend in the spirit world because he has his body where as korra only has her spirit.
It sucks they had to censor the psychedelic conversation, we all know naheed and rana have tripped before lol one of the best episodes of the entire series
Korra is 17 in S1 and 18 in S2. Asami and Mako are 18 in S1 and 19 in S2. Bolin is 16 in S1 and 17 in S2. Great reaction to seeing Iroh, you all! I love how the writers kept this great man alive in LOK :'3 I'm having like some mild tears in my eyes at seeing him again :3 'There's a tiny man in the box who sings and plays musical instruments' Cute :3
'What happened to Furryfoot?' Me: 'Unalaq is what happened.. :(' I love how Korras little face changes after she says goodbye to Uncle Iroh. It's her 'determined' face and it is so cute on a kid :3 Tenzins panicked voice 'What happened to my little girl!?' and Korras face full of shock and guilt.. Chills..
'Micky. That is disgusting' says the culprit xD lol
"Can I say something off camera" Literally censoring themselves lol
Sad to see good ol' Uncle Iroh go so soon. 😢 I just want to see him more, listen to his endless words of beautiful wisdom & knowledge, and see him drink his iconic Tea he always loves so much. He's the most underrated character of Avatar. He deserves his own separate Show!
We love you Iroh! ❤😭
After watching the normies and blind wave watch korra. I appreciate season two so much more. Its definitely better on the second and third watch.
I just remembered Iroh saying he was going to open his own tea shop and play pi sho everyday in ATLA and he's doing that in the spirit world now:)
Poor korra i swear her tears in the END 😢😢😩😭😭
I love the emotion in your eyes when Iroh showed up 💙
Too bad we cant protect the Cozy Gaang for what's to happen! You think this ending was emotional! Prepare to feel like Zuko! Angst on!
The reason why unalaak can bend is because he entered the spirit world physically
9:33
It seems almost sacrilegious to react any other way than how they did in this scene
R.I.P Mako
Iroh's gave me a sense of joy, then i realized that if hes here than hes dead gave me a sense of bitter happiness
AAAAH HAPPY LOK DAY!!! ps: you make my day totally worthy.
"Subnautica in this bitch." lol
Season 3 can’t waitttttttt
It's crazy how coming back to shows like the Last Airbender and Korra allows me to realize certain lessons that would've helped me back then. What Iroh says about seeing light and dark really reminds me of how I was treating my life when I was in middle school to my sophomore year of HS. Although I did not consciously remember these lessons it still felt familiar to me as I was rewatching this show with you guys. I really feel that The Last Airbender and Korra are some of the most important cartoons ever produced and its a damn treasure to watch it again with people who care about the lessons it provides and the visual storytelling talent of the writers.
I also feel like The Legend of Korra practically reflects the real world right now
Aang was more spiritual and prone to over thinking things to the point where he's afraid to act. Korra is more physical and prone to acting first without thinking about the consequences or if she should.
I saw Iroh for 5 min. My whole life changed
Rana's face expresion haha
9:34 it really sucks I mist that part when this first aired.
Aang will forever be the Badass Avatar
The Tsungi Horn that plays in the background when Iroh enters just makes it perfect.
They call it non shitty right now without even finishing the season lol ....wait until they get to season 3 and 4 to know how much better it is compare to season 2 haha
Yes to season 3 but I personally found season 4 lackluster.
KrypticSoul true, but it's at least more watchable than season 2 imo. The only good episodes in season 2 were beginnings part 1 and 2.
Season 4 gets some shit, but it's a lot better than people give it credit for. Apart from Meelo ruining every single scene he's in, the only major problem it has is they tried too hard to make the villain evil with throw-away lines of dialogue.
waltdeezy11 They like so far
Just because season 3 and 4 May be better doesn't mean they have to compare season 2 to them and say it's bad. The problem with season 2 is it's inconsistent it has good moments and it's bad moments are really bad.
9:50 That was a nice R2D2 expression, Micky!
