Yep Korra didn't really have any friends growing up. Unlike the Avatars before her Korra was sheltered and secluded. She never traveled the world like her past lives. Korra to me is such a great character and her development is amazing. This show and Avatar mean the world to me. I really do hope you enjoy it's a beautiful show in my opinion.
How dare you exclude Naga as her friend?!
@@vetarlittorf1807I'm not excluding her, but I was talking friends more along the lines of Mako and Bolin etc.
She doesnt develop. She experiences things. But she doesn't grow and change. She never shows more patience, compassion, improved strategy/tactics, more empathy, greater wisdom. She does none of those.
@@michaelgarrett139 When you talk out of your ass like that, no one will understand you.
@@michaelgarrett139 have you seen the entire show? To say she doesn't develop a single bit from the things she goes through and experiences is outrageous.
Korra grew up as a bending child prodigy, she learnt 3 elements on her own (mastered them with teachers of course). Now that she actually hits a wall at bending something she can't, she gets upset very quickly and can't muster the patience she's never needed before.
Basically the journey of most achiever kids who found elementary school so easy until College pounds their faces in.
When i see Korra trying to force her way into the airbending machine, i remember the episode where Aang learned earthbending
Toph repeatedly told him that there was no other way to look at it, no other point of view, it was just gonig head to head with the earth and i think Korra does this type of approach with airbending, she just forces her way into it, trying to learning by sheer will, instead of adapt and change her approach like an airbender would
17:30 Never realized this. The Avatars both were in their ideal opposite situation that would fit their personalities. Aang's passive nature and spiritual intelligence would be perfect for Korra's future endeavors. Korra's aggressive personality would've wanted to learn bending immediately, as Aang would rather ride Elephant Koi fish and turn mail systems into rollercoasters.
Aang was a peacekeeper born in a time of war. Korra was a warrior born in a time of peace. Their greatest challenge was learning to be like the other.
beautifully said my guy@@Celestia282
As a huge Last Airbender fanboy, this episode is where I fell in love with this show. I love that Korra's most challenging element is Air, in contrast to past Avatars. Aang struggled with Earth, but we even saw in The Avatar and the Firelord that Roku claimed to struggle the most with Water. Simple bit of great characterization, building on the existing lore, that Korra is a native waterbender, but she absolutely does not struggle with Fire.
Toph: That's the problem, you've got to stop thinking like an airbender. There no trickity-trick that'll move that rock. You've got to hit it head-on. And when I say head-on, I mean like THIS. *headbutts rock*
Toddler Korra absolutely headbutted a rock.
The interesting thing is that reason Korra's having so much trouble learning to Airbend, is pretty obvious but not outright stated. I don't know if saying what that is would count as a spoiler or not so....
Her lack of freedom. If air is the element of freedom, then of course it would be difficult for someone who's never truly known what freedom is.
I love how Korra needed to be in the action to learn.
The eye colors DO match the element/nation a person has affinity with, but Mako and Bolin are 100% full-blooded brothers.
Mixed-relationships became FAR more common with Republic City being a mix of the nations.
You cracked on the second episode,Aang was a diplomat in a world who needed a warrior,Korra is a warrior in a world that needed diplomacy.
Aang was a human who learn to be the Avatar, Korra was the Avatar who learn to be human
I swear if I see this same exact comment one more time... 🤣
I would love to see Aang using diplomacy against a man who wanted to become the Avatar Satan. Do you think Zaheer would change his whole ideoly because Aang said "please, I don't wanna fight 😢". Korra tried to talk with Zaheer in the stakeout episode. Amon wanted bending gone, he couldn't be talked to.
I really like that they went with an Avatar that is so much the opposite of Aang.
Liked that you caught on the notion that since the end of the 100 year war that nations are co-mingling now and can have kids that are different benders. They get deeper into it later so I'll leave it there but its awesome you're noticing it this early
Pro Bending is actually a pretty cool part of LoK. It makes me wish we had an actual game revolved around it.
"Being the Avatar isn't all about fighting, Korra. When will you learn that?"
Pretty much sums up her personality
Mako and Bolin's parents, the mother from fire nation but the father from the earth kingdom ba sing se
I hadn't thought about it before, but Korra had an extremely sheltered childhood, much like Toph. Toph was as earthbender as you can get, so I wonder if the writers are trying to parallel that when it comes to Korra having an earthbender personality instead of waterbender, her native element.
It's not just about keeping at it but more so that not everyone learns the same way. The tactics Tenzin was using won't work on someone like Korra. Pro-bending on the other hand is perfect as a learning tool for her.
My girl has been under house arrest at an icy fortress for her entire childhood and now she has to embrace the "element of freedom" lol
Something that I’m not sure if you notice is how everything came easily to her when learning the other element and new moves like bulin said “you’re an natural” , and that is the reason why she gets out of control when it comes to air bending
7:52 - 8:17 Introducing Mako and Bolin
16:39 - 16:48 I can't with Tenzin turning red, and his eye twitching 🤣🤣🤣

I remembered watching this episode on TV and it threw me off when Bolin said "be light on your toes". Because thats not the earth bender way lol
Lmao true, but having rules in pro bending has developed a whole new style. Pro earth benders still stand their ground in practice, but the ring does not allow you to block attacks with the ground. So you gotta box 😂
Boy!! Am I glad you decided to continue the reactions for this series here on TH-cam.
I’m willing to bet that by the end of this series, you’re going to love it.
What people don't seem to get about the avatar is that being the avatar doesn't make you a stronger bender than others (unless in the avatar state), it simply gives you access to the other elements which makes the avatar stronger in a fight when all elements can be used. For pro-bending when she's only allowed to use one element it's perfectly fair, and if she's better than the opposing team's water bender, that has nothing to do with being the avatar, just her being good at it.
Korra spent her whole life confined, sheltered, just learning how to fight and bend. That's all she knows about being the avatar. Actually being in the real world, with all its greyness and complexities, will force her to develop not just as the avatar but as a person.
Korra is such a good foil to Aang. Hotheaded and headstrong vs Aang's more reserved and calculated approach. Aang was also way more comfortable around people and more of an extrovert than Korra so it's nice to see Korra kinda go through the opposite of Aang's story. She's already a powerful bender but needs to learn to be more patient, while Aang's journey was learning and mastering the elements while already possessing that patience.
In short, its safe to say she was presented as the oppoaite of what Aang was at the start of the series. With each season we are peeling layers to her character , long term story telling
Korra having all the elements but air is probably a side effect of how fast Aang had to learn those elements which is also why she has so much difficulty with air.
I'm actually glad that you catch the fact that IF Aang and Korra were to trade their era, both of them would've done better than what they've got. Cuz you're right, Aang possess reason to be peaceful in a time of war, and Korra is a fighter in an era of peace.
I also think she's so good at Fire because it comes in handy if the place you grow up is frozen
Imagine how korra and her firebending would do vs the firelord
"Oh, this is a world where everyone is doing... everything together" Well, that's one way to put it 😅
Reminds me of Sokka with Yue and his suggestion to do "an activity together" 😂 Ani might be a water tribe girl.
There's a theory that the next Avatar gets attributed with what the previous Avatar needed to revolve their issues. Imagine Korra replaced Aang in his time line. Instead of traveling to learn all 4 elements, she would have mastered three and she's combat orientated unlike Aang.
It sounds like a reasonable assumption. Kuruk was free flowing during a peaceful age and was not prepared for Koh, then Kiyoshi lived in an age of a Tyrant and kept her too rigid and strict. Unlike her, Roku made friends, but his unwillingness to sacrifice his friendship for the world became his downfall but Roku did not run away from it. Meanwhile Aang ran away from a really big responsibility being the youngest to be told they're the avatar. Korra is then too headstrong compared to Aang who is a pacifist.
Bolin in an absolute king, probably one of my fav characters in the series, (admittedly not a high bar.)
Bolin is indeed awesome, like most of the cast in every season.
I don’t know if you already got this comment, but technically Korra has the personality of an earth bender because earth is the opposite of air (sidenote: I actually like this explanation of the opposite element theory because it ties the avatar to the own character, rather than what nation they originally from)
17:48 You do have a valid point here. Because I would have loved to see Korra fight against Azula. W vid and reaction 💯
3:26 is more like an earthbender. Here is the thing, bendings have personality. Just like uncle iroh said in that book 2 in which he described the personality of people from every nation and how it is related to their bending. In this case, korra has an earth bender personallity
I have a theory. Since Aang died when Azula used lightning on him (at the end of season 2 of the Last Airbender series), it left a scar not only on himself but also in the Avatar cycle. Which is probably why Korra is having such a hard time with Airbending
I so understand Korra here... These Airbending Paddle's are like me trying a Fromsoftware Boss. 😆
The Avatar isn't innately any more powerful at any single element then any other bender. They may get creative with the movements using the styles and technics of other elements and the Avatar State does boost their bending when active, but when they are normal just using a single element they're generally gonna be just as good as any other bender who put in the same amount of practice and training. It's the fact that they can use other elements and other styles that makes the Avatar so powerful, they can generally have a counter to any bender. "It is the combination of the four elements in one person that makes the Avatar so powerful." -Iroh Book 2 Chapter 9 "Bitter Work"
I was thinking while watching last episodes reaction. They trained her to be a warrior, focusing on fighting with her bending. But aang got taught how to think about and consider others before himself, korra didn't. She's been kept ignorant about the wider world, aang traveled and saw all four nations before his disappearance
Korra's approach to things could be described as bashing a square peg into a round hole so hard that the hole becomes square
Or rather bashing a round hole into another round hole
Hi Melon Great reaction to episode 2 of Korra
This show is great to me
Korra start of ruth around the edges but grow into her own person and the big difference between Aang and Korra
Is Korra didn't have friends
Aang did have friends
Aang didn't like fighting
Korra learn more from action and fighting
22:10 Melon starts her Piccolo impression
Lmaoo
The reason I don’t like Korra as much as Atla is because it doesn’t feel like it’s a sequel to the original, it feels like its own show that incorporated the past of the original show. This show is good for people who like to digest shows like you, because of the dialogue and double meanings. Although I wouldn’t say you’ll like it more than Atla
Yea sang met his teacher at a match and korra realized she already has a good teacher at a tournament like setting but like I wrote you before Korra is just like me that’s how I know she is more about action so she learns differently she has to be put in a situation that forces her to show her growth an she grows fast when needed she is like a female Naruto in this universe 😮 love you animelon your energy is addictive 🎉😂can’t wait for you to finish the show or at least get to the 3rd season cause that’s my favorite season (red lotus🤐😳😰🤔
🔥❤️🔥🔥
Love this series and your reactions!
Big reason why ppl couldnt stand Korra at first was because she wasnt "perfect" like Aang. She's nornal like us
God I love this show ❤
The thought process seems to have been, "She's 17, so we have to have her do a bunch of dumb stuff so everybody knows she's a kid, right?" The consequences are a lot of annoying moments, especially in Book One.
Aang wasn't perfect, though. He made all kinds of mistakes, even big ones. The series very clearly painted him as a human first, Avatar second, just like with Korra. They are more similar than they are different.
@@Celestia282Yet fans hate moments where we see Aang not being portrayed as perfect and we see his flaws, like the episode where he hid the map from Sokka and Katara, or when we learn he wasn't the best father in the world, they call it out of character lol
The problem with this show is that every season was written as a one off. The writers expected the series to end each and every season. The writers are amazing for what they pulled off but if they knew the show would be 4 seasons from the start then they definitely would’ve written a better story. One with much more flow
This is only partially true. They knew 3 and 4 were coming together. 1 and 2 were the only ones where they didn't. After 2, they were confirmed both 3 and 4 right away. I guess the Nick executives didn't watch season 2.
i remember when I first watched korra as a kid I hated it because I hated the modernization of the world. I also think that i was comparing it to avatar, which just isn’t fair to korra. Avatar is the best animated show in the world to a lot of people, and while korra is really good as well, it’s just not at that level. As i’ve gotten older i’ve fallen in love with TLOK and appreciated how good it is in its own right. The world building/world development is generally really well done, the characters are interesting and they have interesting growth journeys, the villains are terrifying, etc. The last scene of amon in season 1 lives in my head rent free. (yall know what scene i mean i just don’t want to spoil anything).
17:35 you got it, that's the point right here, aang would love to be korra and korra would love to be aang, but they cannot switch scenarios 😂
Can’t go into this show comparing it to ATLA. Completely different. Enjoyed your reaction tho!
I kinda do that a lot😅 I know I shouldn’t but I was pretty fun for me to do so. I’m still enjoying Korra though
keep watching, you will not be dissapointed...book 3 is goated
I know Korra isn't really atla but it really expanded the world and the lore
Korra: I can take three guys at once.
Bolin: In Pro-Bending, right? . . . In Pro-Bending . . . Right?
17:38 Exactly!!! I keep telling Korra haters this. Korra would've killed the fire lord no problem 😂. She wouldn't need the Lion Turtle like Aang did
She was shelteredin the wilderness that is what tenzin wanted for her
Screw Quidditch, this is a fictional sport I would dive head first into. And I LOVED how Korra learned to tap slightly into Ultra Instinct when she was in the game.
Also Mako’s boxing stance and form is perfect. They had some seriously A Grade martial artists consult for the show. My old boxing coach would burst with pride.
there not going to say this in the show but mako and bolins parents are both benders their dad is from the fire nation and is a firebender and their mom is from the earth kingdom and is a earth bender thats why they have different features and bend different elements please let me know what you think
I never watched this either but since your checkin it out and i loved the last air bender series im checkin it out with ya 😅
Your right that,if we switch Korra to Aang situation ,korra would not struggle like Aang did..
Ys they are brother they are from earth Kingdom colony ruled by firebender in 100 yr war many fire bender settle down in earth Kingdom colony and start family
Propably they both are sons of earth bender mother and firebender father
The first two seasons are a drag, this is suppose to be a one and done season, 2 was a rushed production, but when you get to 3 and 4, it’ll finish strong and you’ll fall in love with by the end… so judge it now for the first two but it’ll get good halfway through
Maybe the 100 years of no airbenders has something to do with it. Maybe a small disconnect.
Its interesting yoi say that she is more fire bender when she came from watet tribe and l read a comment say that dhe learned water bending first
Im making a comment because because
The Legend of Korra is an okay
series thanks Melon.☺️👍👍
Raw power makes a difference in a real fight, but pro bending is more about technique and precision. Her training might make her better, but being the avatar might be a liability, if anything.
Korra is supposed to be the opposite of Aang
i dont think the avatars have more raw power than other benders when they are not in the avatar state
there is a scene with Aang in ATLA that portrays that when his friends say he cant play with them because he is the avatar and would be unfair, but than Aang responds "But i'm the same as before"
I think they do get incredible raw power when they are in the avatar state, but for different reasons (which have to do with the avatar state but wans shown yet)
Jeong jeong said he never saw more raw power in anyone when referring to aang.
I mean, I think overall they tend to be on the higher scale of raw power though not necessarily out of reach of a normal bender. The avatar vs any other bender, I'd bet they'd usually have more raw power besides the true masters
Love the NY Brooklyn accent u got 😂❤
i wonder if she realized that Republic City is heavily based on NY.
@@saphcal I didn't even know that
@@Dariusproductions oh really? i thought it was obvious, with the harbor, and the skyline, and being a melting pot.
@@saphcal nope
fire is not the opposite of air
After finding out she was the avatar she pretty much grew up in a white lottus ice fortress. Youll later find out why though.
This might be a hot take but Season 1 Korra is a much better character than season 1 Aang
Depends how you define better. Korea and aang are different shows with different goals targeted at different audience. Aang is a show for children, Korra for young teenagers. Korra is not a sequel to aang, it's acdifferent show in the same universe
@@emkalina Maybe I should rephrase. I like Season 1 Korra better than season 1 Aang
6:28 Agreed, it's definitely the Zoomer in both of you 😂
Honestly korra has such a good character development that you can definitely see improvement over the course of the seasons but ugh ignore her in season 2 .. yeh..
Season 2 was rough in general.
@@chrisbergsten1429 I liked bits of it but yeh...
People loved season 1 so you're probably gonna really enjoy it also, BUT the issues started with the series after that for moat folks. I still love the show, but you have to watch for yourself. Personally id take this show over about 70-80% of the garbage being released today still
3:48 Today on 1000 Ways to Die...
If you want a show with a hero like Aang, may I recommend My Hero Academia English Dub
Hello
Would you react to Baki anime ?
they are brother father earth mother fire
Aang never wanted to be the Avatar and grew up in a world that needed the Avatar. Aang is a human becoming the Avatar. Korra wants to be the Avatar and is living in a world that constantly tells her that they don’t want the Avatar. Korra is the Avatar becoming human.
Be the melon 😂
The Avatar's mastery over a certain element isn't really inherently better than anyone unless they go into the Avatar state. Just compare Katara and Toph's bending to Aang's. Not the best example because those two were amazing but still, it isn't stronger than anyone's by default.
Tenzin is realy a great Charakter. He tries to be this great spiritual Figur, a calm, and wise Mentor, but deep inside hes nearly as hot heated as her.
While Korra is kind of a A-Hole, not gonna lie.
They are brothers
Is it me or does Tenzin sound like Omni-Man?
Lolol, you know what, I can see it
it IS omni man. JK Simmons voices both
@@Animelonit is him :D
Korra needs to learn patience but Tenzin needs to accept that the air bender culture he and Aamg knew is dead and not coming back. The old teaching methods won't work
Korra is headstrong, aggressive, and has a very low threshold for frustration. She is also, at this point in the story, what you might call a "dojo tiger". That is, she is a very skilled and highly trained martial artist/bender, but she has no real world fighting experience. Oh, sure, she can clean the clocks of a handful of mooks that are used to pushing around people that are neither benders nor warriors. But when she starts encountering actual fights, she tends to get her ass kicked. A lot of the first three seasons of this show is Korra getting bodied. Poor girl gets the arrogance beat of her... Which may have been the only way she could learn a little humility. Don't get me wrong, even at this point in her arc, I like her. She's got a good heart, she's forthright, and idealistic. The kind of person I wouldn't mind hanging around with, if not for her tendency to escalate things. In fact, she is so accustomed to fighting that she can't handle disagreements without escalating them. This gets seen a lot in the series. She gets frustrated with air bending training, so she escalates with Tenzin. When she eventually gets into a relationship, she can't handle disagreements with her boyfriend, so she escalates them. Because she can't handle frustration and disagreements, but she *can* fight.
17:36 this was very much on purpose from the writers
What would you do if you were the Avatar Animelon?
Not a clue. I’m not meant for that😭
💚💙🧡🤍
if you're liking this just wait until season 2 and you will be completly disappointed but you'll be more hyped in season 3 and i personally am a fan of season 4 but i'll admit it's not the best season
Korra needed pro bending
Season 3 is the best season in my opinion. But I hated season 2 b/c it messed up a few concepts from ATLA. But without certain things in season 2, season 3 never would’ve happened in the way that it did. So I’m so conflicted with this series. But it’s still enjoyable to watch for sure. Enjoy.
Season two gave so much lore there was no room for interesting plot. It also made visible the biggest problem with the series: too many main characters to develop them enough. We all know what each team aang member was like any other member. And for example can we say anything about tenzin and makos relationship? Not really.
Another girl in the crew? That would be cool.....
No Aang wouldn’t do better you have to keep watching the show her issues season 1 was nothing compared to her issues in the other seasons
Bolin is the best character
I’m only watching cuz I got a secret crush on u
