This is what I love about the cameos in Legend of Korra. They make sense. They have a purpose. Katara mirroring what her grandmother said about leaving the South Pole makes complete sense. Of course, Aang would be there because Korra is dealing with some of Aang's mistakes. Why wouldn't Iroh offer guidance to another Avatar? Sokka didn't have to be the representative for the South Pole at the trial but it makes sense that he would be. They're not just thrown in there and they're not forgettable.
I did not expect to see Iroh again, and let me tell you, it was the best surprise I could've gotten. I love how even after death, Iroh will always make tea and give great wisdom. He will always be the GOAT.
I knew this set of episodes were going to hit Ruff a whole lot since he's a father himself. And you can see @ 19:21 him being in pain like Tenzin when he asked "What happened to my little girl?!"
Again, I just love this season. This journey to the spirit world is probably the peak of Korra's disstress, and u can see why. Everything that's been going on this season shoock the very foundation of what Korra new abt the world and herself. Even the comforting stuff like Wan's story was pretty earthshaking. So her literally transforming into a helpless child reflects her state very well. But she learned smth very important in ep10. Sometimes our own attitude can greatly change and influence the surrounding situation.
It's Star Wars logic. "Balance" isn't actually just balance because the darkness will always try to corrupt. It's stupid to call it balance, but I guess that sounds better than outright saying "balance is wiping out as much of the darkness as you can"
In star wars. balance isn't about good and evil, but a sort of maintenance of the force itself. A light-side user can be evil, and a dark-side user can be good. But the dark side corrupts and damages the force by *forcing* it to do your bidding, rather than encouraging it to work with you. This has a negative impact on all living creatures of the force, including nature itself and even human souls. It could be a similar thing here. Vaatu damages the spirit world by his presence within it, harming the creatures there and all human souls who pass through it. We even see creatures becoming corrupt and aggressive against their will in the previous 2-parter. His very existence is damaging. It isn't so much a balance between good and evil so much as it is simply balance of the force/spirit energy itself. If it becomes unbalanced, it becomes volatile and damaging. Balance normally means a trade-off between two different things, but can also simply mean harmony and stability, and I believe that's what it means in these contexts.
(At 15:45) I can't even blame the black barn owl for that, because the waterbender has been spending so much time the spirits, I'm not surprised he won them over.
I still remember watching Iroh's introduction for the first time. It was after midnight and I ran outside and did a lap of the house out of pure energy and excitement. My GOAT.
Oh man, seeing you guys react to the end with Tenzin, that made my chest heavy. Can only imagine the Dad fears. Forgot to add, Iroh's reveal was the most awesome one yet when I first saw this. I was so happy seeing him!
I've seen this episode so many times and I still laughed and cried along with you guys, so glad I get to follow along your journey with this amazing series 🥰
13:35 its not the foxes fault, he was describing what he sees since he’s out gathering information for him. Theres more information nowadays in Korra’s time then there was back then
The Guide is one of my fav episodes, Jinora is one of my dav characters and I'm so glad she got to shine here! Tenzin's line at the end "what happened to my little girl" oof idk something about his delivery and voice just wrecks me every time 😢
Funny thing: when my mama was a child she truly belived in the existence of tiny men in radios. She even dreamed of taking them all and putting in a dark shoe, but with a twist: she would make them all be naked! I tell her this might indicates something, but she isn't too comfortable to discuss it further
10:26 One thing I love about this show and AtLA, is the fact that they do spirits right (in the folkloric way). There are bad spirits and good spirits, sure, but just because a spirit is technically good, doesn't mean it's *_nice._*
I have to say I love your reaction to Korra. As a huge Korra fan, I also admit the show has faults, but it builds on Avatar's world so well and there's so much to Korra that other people miss or ignore.

Having your Soul taken, or destroyed in the Spirit World is like going into a Coma. And since this is like the Industriell Revolution, i dont think they have Life Support yet. Of course there are Healers, but i dont know how much of Help they can be.
Can we just take a sec to appreciate how well these guys avoid toxic masculinity? They are very clear and open about their feelings, just letting yourself cry on camera alone is so impressive.
One of the reasons people don't like how korra expands the spirit world is that, like was questioned at the end of this episode, the balance of light and dark/yin yang is kinda ruined. The whole philosophy is that light and dark isn't good and evil, but just two seemingly opposing forces that are actually just apart of one another. Vaatu is instead depicted as just purely negative, like cartoonish evil, and his being sealed or utterly defeated is shown as necessary. That does kind of disappoints me, but overall I still really enjoy Korra.
I don't recall the avatar universe going over the nature of light and dark in relation to good and evil in that sense. I know other shows/series do it, but I don't think we ever got that deep here. But in this case, whether you'd want to call it darkness or evil, the whole issue with Vaatu is that he represents a greedy nature seeking to corrupt everything and overall cause chaos/aggression. Which isn't necessarily evil depending on who's afflicted or how, but when left to his own devices that's how Vaatu grows, whereas Raava doesn't seem to grow by spreading influence, but rather through battling darkness head-on while they were intertwined. They seem to be a duality of proactive/reactive, and when in conflict, they both maintain a sizeable state, but when separated, one runs wild while the other is almost useless. So the alternative for balance with Wan was to make sure Vaatu isn't running wild, cause he's the only one that wants to achieve total domination. Meanwhile Raava is at least wrapped within a human so her influence only comes about when the avatar sees the need to battle with increasing amounts of darkness in other humans, which is altogether less than the amount of battling she used to do with Vaatu before. In a way, both spirits have been locked down, and can only extend their reach as far as a human or a tree will let them. I imagine if Raava were free to roam on her own she'd create an either overly complacent or stern dictatorship era in the world, which would ultimately end up being a bad thing. And she might even end up fading away until Vaatu grows in power again.
@@vindifference Except there is nothing to suggest in the show that Raava might cause just as much of a problem as Vaatu if left unchecked. Vaatu is specifically characterized as little more than an evil dark force, his corrupting influence turning other spirits into dark spirits. Whereas Raava is only ever shown as reasonable and her presence cures spirits and returns them to their natural state. As I was trying to point out it abandons the initial eastern philosophy concepts that avatar’s spirit world was based on for a less complex traditional western view like that of Christianity. If they had given Vaatu a more reasonable or more fleshed motivation instead of just wanting to beat Raava and have uncontested control of the spirit world then maybe he could have been more interesting.
Hey - asking if you guys could do a Starkid reaction series! Starkid is a musical company that produces high quality musicals and posts them entirely free on TH-cam!! Although they have material that spans over a decade, you guys would probably love the Hatchetfield series the most; It’s a collection of horror comedy musicals all set in the tiny town of Hatchetfield. The shows are as follows (and in order): • The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals - the town of Hatchetfield is invaded by an alien force that takes over people’s bodies and communes through song and dance. You follow the protagonist, Paul, a guy who doesn’t like musicals as he tries to survive without dying a horrific, musical death alongside his friends. • Black Friday - the town of Hatchetfield is once again the setting (as you realize that this show is set in an alternate timeline where TGWDLM never happened) and its Black Friday. There’s a toy called Wiggly that everyone is going insane over - literally. People start going genuinely insane for the toy, and you follow protagonists Lex and Tom as they try to stay alive inside a mall taken over by a Wiggly cult. Also there are nukes. • Nerdy Prudes Must Die - once again in Hatchetfield (alternate timeline strikes again), you follow 4 nerdy teens forced together as they accidentally murder their high school bully. But things start going not so well when the bully comes back from the dead, making good on his promise that nerdy prudes must die as he hunts down the teens that killed him intent on murdering them. Also someone fucks a ghost. • There is also a series called Nightmare Time that isn’t necessarily essential to watching the three main shows, but it is a collection of musicals all centered in Hatchetfield and its characters and adds a ton of “omg the thing!!” context,,,,,, especially for NPMD. If you guys get into the Hatchetfield vibes I really recommend checking out the proper timeline to watch the Hatchetfield musicals and Nightmare Time! I believe it’s TGWDLM then Black Friday then Nightmare Time 1 then Nightmare Time 2 then NPMD, but again pls fact check that if you decide to do so. The Starkid fanbase is sizeable, and the fans are DEDICATED. If they catch wind of you reacting to these shows, there’s a high chance they’ll all come running and be committed. Hope you do :)
i love the content that you guys make but 2:55 is a image from the final season does that mean that you guys pre-watched or maybe just your editor ( which i thought was ruff but maybe not )
Like the others said, they’re waaaaay ahead on Patreon, and they reasonably assume that anyone watching the reaction would have already seen the show, so they’re more free to get creative with the editing (which I do like)
Man I’ve been waiting for these two episodes lol season two is good, it really is, but yes, it’s the weakest one. I know you’ve already seen it, so I’ll just say that it still hurts me to watch the finale. I just love Aang and the past Avatars so much, but I still think the story is a cool way of taking it bc it’s not what you’d expect, and it is very realistic that it could happen. Well in this made up world I guess it’s realistic.
Im glad you guys are happy to see Iroh. Personally i had a massive disconnect from the character after finding out his original Voice Actor died. The voice being similar still doesnt do it for me. Plus after Iroh is placed in prison he just seems way different and his character doesnt light a spark in me anymore but everything leading up the "The Crossroads of Destiny" episode is peak Iroh.
idk wtf people are on about with this being "the weakest season" book 2 is literally the best one, and i love all of khora personally i never found issue with any of it its a great show all the way through
Listen, love your guys' reactions. You guys are hilarious, very talented, and have an excellent taste in television. But I just have to say, whoever is editing your videos, if they could stop inserting A.I. images into them, that would be much appreciated.
I recommend watching some videos from Hello Future Me for a lot of succinct explanation on why this all undermines the worldbuilding and themes and of the original but i also wonder why they couldn't have purused the fall out and other things from season 1 even with the awkward production. I like korra -- i think it's a solid 6.5/10 story. The wasted potential of characters and the undermining of the world and your own plot is hard to see though, even while all the production shit was occuring. Especially as a viewer who had to fight to even watch it online as it was airing and who /grew/ up with it and a:tla. Still better than most shows out there and there is nothing wrong with an average show -- ya gotta have some. But this? This really didn't have to be and you see the signs everywhere.
Raava is after light and peace, Vaatu is after darkness and chaos. Together they bring balance, but now with Vaatu being locked we only got peace. Peace ≠ Balance
I hardly call the hundred year war and every other conflict that happened in the last 10’000 years “peaceful”, Rarva and Vartu’s balance of light and darkness mostly relates to the spirits and since Vartu was sealed and Rarva is for the most part stuck in the mortal realm bonded to a human neither had any direct influence on the spirits outside of convergence, so that’s pretty balanced.
This more of a lowkey issue I have with season 2 that I don't see brought up much but it gets me so heated. The writers committed near full-on character assassination of Lin this season. Sure she's a stern grump but she was all-in on the trust with the new Team Avatar and was even straight up willing to work outside the law when it came to doing justice against what the Equalists and Tarrlok were doing to the city. And in this book, they basically walk back her growth and turn her into a shouting imbecile who not only buys into incompetence and lackadaisical detective work but straight up believes that Mako would suddenly turn to terrorist acts and theft on a massive scale...just to hammer the nail that Mako is "all alone" in his crusade to expose Varrick. Same goes for Asami and Bolin tbh, but those, while annoying that they aren't completely supportive of Mako or at least willing to hear him out, can at least be explained away by Varrick ingratiating himself to them both, Asami at least showing doubt or at least some realization when Mako is arrested that he may be onto something, and Bolin just being a himbo blinded by the opportunity for fame and status and willing to believe the good in Varrick rather than suspect ill intention (something that comes up later). And Bolin does immediately take action the moment he sees something up and apologizes. Lin. Gets. None of that. And it's frankly a crime to a cool character and all just a cheap way to play Mako as the innocent working againsy the system, when really the Varrick plot would have been exposed way earlier if everyone acted in character. Just out of character writing for the sake of lazy drama that doesn't even amount to anything really.
I really fucking hate the term misinformation like terms like that and fake views and other stuff like that is just destroying the language. Read the book 1984 by George Orwell and you'll understand what I mean.
Would’ve been smarter in my opinion to have Tenzin first help guide Korra & Jinora into the spirit world but letting them follow the rest of the journey on their own since his spiritual connection isn’t strong enough. Giving him some spiritual insight abilities over none would’ve been better for his character and you can still write a similar scenario with Korra & Jinora experiencing the spirit world, in this case it just felt like he was being shit on as a character.
One of the reason this season is considered the weakest among them is because Avatar has always been about not being true evil and things just seeming good from another point of view or due to upbringing (like the firenation kids in ATLA, or Zuko and Azula), but this boils all struggles down to "pure good Raava VS pure evil Vaatu" and to many people it isn't compelling compared to the other stories because there is zero moral ambiguity and it actively takes away agency from characters because if they do something bad it's not their own choice it's Vaatu and when they do something good it's not their regret/remorse/goodwill it's Raava. This becomes clearer near the end of the season. And compared to other antagonists (no spoilers), Unalaq is just a little flat. There is no moral ambiguity but it's just "he's working with pure evil Vaatu so he is pure evil just because". It's not that it's bad, it's just that it's sub par for Avatar to do such a villain. Especially in comparison to the original series and the other antagonists, major and minor, you've seen and have yet to see.
"I knew this would happen!" I love that joke.
it's like if "well, that happened" was actually funny
agree 😂
The fact that I could see your 3 hearts getting broken simultaneously when Tenzin said THAT line at the end... This is why I'm subscribed.
I’ve seen so many reactors who had that same reaction to Tenzin! It’s genuinely heartrending
i’ve watched a lot of tlok reactions, but these guys are the only ones who actually REACT
This is what I love about the cameos in Legend of Korra. They make sense. They have a purpose. Katara mirroring what her grandmother said about leaving the South Pole makes complete sense. Of course, Aang would be there because Korra is dealing with some of Aang's mistakes. Why wouldn't Iroh offer guidance to another Avatar? Sokka didn't have to be the representative for the South Pole at the trial but it makes sense that he would be. They're not just thrown in there and they're not forgettable.
Among the many issues caused by executive meddling by Nick the fact that they never made BumJun plushies is one of the biggest tragedies.
That and Pabo
It's an instant toy. Market this shit and invest in more Avatar. WHY WAS THAT A HARD CONCEPT?!!!!
I did not expect to see Iroh again, and let me tell you, it was the best surprise I could've gotten. I love how even after death, Iroh will always make tea and give great wisdom. He will always be the GOAT.
"You will find that if you look for the light, you can often find it. But if you look for the dark, that is all you will ever see." Words to live by
I knew this set of episodes were going to hit Ruff a whole lot since he's a father himself. And you can see @ 19:21 him being in pain like Tenzin when he asked "What happened to my little girl?!"
Seeing OG Iroh in this series was absolutely incredible, caught me completely off guard! Him and Wan Shi Tong.
I like to think this is what Iroh’s original VA Mako is doing right now, sipping tea in the Spirit World and playing Pai Sho.
That sounds like the exact thing he would do.
(At 16:34) Korra: Oh, yeah. I met your nephew's grandson. He named he after you and He's a general. I'll tell him you said hi next time I see him.
Tenzin, and Omniman the duality of Simmons
Facts
And J. Jonah Jameson right in the middle. ^^
and Wan was voiced by Invincible
Unalaq: the only who could get shot in the leg, and still say it’s apart of his master plan.

9:38 glad that yall loving this season 😂
Seeing Iroh in the spirit world is another of my favorite parts of this season, I couldn't stop tearing up.
No matter the show Iroh is The Goat
Being the GOAT of ATLA is Zuko.
The only good character that came from that show other than Roku and the other avatars that isn't Aang.
Capppppp@@HeadGodoftheGodCouncil
(At 15:45) I can't even blame the black barn owl for that, because the waterbender has been spending so much time the spirits, I'm not surprised he won them over.
A very interesting point that was stated toward the end, I won't say much, but it's definitely gonna be addressed in the series.
I still remember watching Iroh's introduction for the first time. It was after midnight and I ran outside and did a lap of the house out of pure energy and excitement. My GOAT.
Oh man, seeing you guys react to the end with Tenzin, that made my chest heavy. Can only imagine the Dad fears. Forgot to add, Iroh's reveal was the most awesome one yet when I first saw this. I was so happy seeing him!
I actually love season 2, it's freaking awesome and is filled with so much lore 😍😍
These past 4 episodes alone are each phenomenal
(At 11:45) remember what I said about "seeing 3 familiar faces" from A:TLA return? Here are the first two.
I've seen this episode so many times and I still laughed and cried along with you guys, so glad I get to follow along your journey with this amazing series 🥰
13:35 its not the foxes fault, he was describing what he sees since he’s out gathering information for him. Theres more information nowadays in Korra’s time then there was back then
Fox: "...and that's everything you need to know about radios. Next, I'll tell you all about Dominion voting machines."
I was waiting for the Iroh reaction, and it didn't disappoint
the last two episodes were amazing enough but Uncle Iroh appearing spittin wisdom was just the cherry on top ❤
(At 12:57) 2nd return (not counting the corpse). The black barn owl sounds a little less threatening than the last time.
It's so weird hearing JK Simons upset about losing Jinora in this compared to his perfomance as Omni-Man haha
15:26 Fun Fact: the solar system within the Avatar universe isn't as identity as our solar system.
The Guide is one of my fav episodes, Jinora is one of my dav characters and I'm so glad she got to shine here!
Tenzin's line at the end "what happened to my little girl" oof idk something about his delivery and voice just wrecks me every time 😢

11:52 perfect timing. Also IROH!!!
Mako's greatest character growth is seeing he's not good at romantic relationships.
I have to say I love your reaction to Korra. As a huge Korra fan, I also admit the show has faults, but it builds on Avatar's world so well and there's so much to Korra that other people miss or ignore.
I want Spirit Cakes in my life. Heck, I’ll take Spirit desserts in general!
I knew y’all were gonna flip your lid when iroh popped up but him showing up for me made this season so great
1:34 🥲
1:55 ready for this _just_ for the sibling care
6:18 ah well, if they were there, they gotta be cleared out
7:49 they what
Nice reaction! personally I love this season even though it gets so much hate 😅

15:22 Just like when Hades freed the Titans in Hercules.
Can we just take a sec to appreciate how well these guys avoid toxic masculinity? They are very clear and open about their feelings, just letting yourself cry on camera alone is so impressive.
If you think Season 2 is wild just you wait until Season 3, YOU ARE NOT READY!!!
it makes me sad that he stayed in the spirit world instead of passing on to be with his son. I cry whenever i think about it.
Good ol' Unalaq, the Ozai of the Water Tribe
Fun fact, season 2 episode 10 of both ATLA and LOK feature Wan Shi Tong
I screamed when I saw iroh again it was awesome
12:08 This is where the fun begins! 👏

I believe it’s TGWDLM then Black Friday then Nightmare Time 1 then Nightmare Time 2 then NPMD, but again pls fact check that if you decide to do so.
The Starkid fanbase is sizeable, and the fans are DEDICATED. If they catch wind of you reacting to these shows, there’s a high chance they’ll all come running and be committed. Hope you do :)
i love the content that you guys make but 2:55 is a image from the final season does that mean that you guys pre-watched or maybe just your editor ( which i thought was ruff but maybe not )
There are far ahead of what TH-cam shows in terms of reactions. They have probably already reached season 4
@@njivwathomassilavwe2056 oh yea true
@@njivwathomassilavwe2056yeah I think I saw a comment they made in an earlier episode that stated they already finished LoK on patreon
Like the others said, they’re waaaaay ahead on Patreon, and they reasonably assume that anyone watching the reaction would have already seen the show, so they’re more free to get creative with the editing (which I do like)
For all the problems with LOK Book 2, Tenzin is in rare form all season long.
14:46 WHAT THE HELL IS THIS UH EDITED lol 🤣🤣
Notice irohs teapot was ravaas.
Ok that fox theory is so cool tho
Man I’ve been waiting for these two episodes lol season two is good, it really is, but yes, it’s the weakest one. I know you’ve already seen it, so I’ll just say that it still hurts me to watch the finale. I just love Aang and the past Avatars so much, but I still think the story is a cool way of taking it bc it’s not what you’d expect, and it is very realistic that it could happen. Well in this made up world I guess it’s realistic.
It is everyone's FAVORITE!!!
Spoiler: IROH IS BACK!!!
I love Season 2 of Korra! I am sorry that you were misinformed on this being a 'weak' season!
9:35, I'm so happy to hear u guys enjoying the weakest season of Korra. I'm excited to see ur reaction to the best season.
i miss my girl korra so much
I love these could you guys please react to TMNT 2003 series and chowder?
yess the spirit world stuff is so cool
Im glad you guys are happy to see Iroh. Personally i had a massive disconnect from the character after finding out his original Voice Actor died. The voice being similar still doesnt do it for me. Plus after Iroh is placed in prison he just seems way different and his character doesnt light a spark in me anymore but everything leading up the "The Crossroads of Destiny" episode is peak Iroh.
Did y'all just use Book 4 Images for the edit???
Pretty sure the editor is someone else that has already seen the show.
We've also been finished with the show for a couple of months now.
We need rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles season 2 reaction
11:38 👀👏
idk wtf people are on about with this being "the weakest season" book 2 is literally the best one, and i love all of khora personally i never found issue with any of it its a great show all the way through
Please watch Ben 10 ultimate alien.If you don't want to watch it at least watch it for episode 16 that episode is mind blowing
I’ve been waiting for the iroh episode reaction :)
People saying this is the weakest season honestly just baffles me. This is probably my favorite season right here
Listen, love your guys' reactions. You guys are hilarious, very talented, and have an excellent taste in television. But I just have to say, whoever is editing your videos, if they could stop inserting A.I. images into them, that would be much appreciated.
Watch ben 10 ultimate alien its story is really really good.
this show is so good oml
I recommend watching some videos from Hello Future Me for a lot of succinct explanation on why this all undermines the worldbuilding and themes and of the original but i also wonder why they couldn't have purused the fall out and other things from season 1 even with the awkward production. I like korra -- i think it's a solid 6.5/10 story. The wasted potential of characters and the undermining of the world and your own plot is hard to see though, even while all the production shit was occuring. Especially as a viewer who had to fight to even watch it online as it was airing and who /grew/ up with it and a:tla.
Still better than most shows out there and there is nothing wrong with an average show -- ya gotta have some. But this? This really didn't have to be and you see the signs everywhere.
Raava is after light and peace, Vaatu is after darkness and chaos. Together they bring balance, but now with Vaatu being locked we only got peace. Peace ≠ Balance
I hardly call the hundred year war and every other conflict that happened in the last 10’000 years “peaceful”, Rarva and Vartu’s balance of light and darkness mostly relates to the spirits and since Vartu was sealed and Rarva is for the most part stuck in the mortal realm bonded to a human neither had any direct influence on the spirits outside of convergence, so that’s pretty balanced.
13:37 that's what you get for listening to fox news
Personally I don’t like season 4 this season had its ups and downs but calling it the weakest is still an insult
iroh always makes me tear up
This more of a lowkey issue I have with season 2 that I don't see brought up much but it gets me so heated.
The writers committed near full-on character assassination of Lin this season. Sure she's a stern grump but she was all-in on the trust with the new Team Avatar and was even straight up willing to work outside the law when it came to doing justice against what the Equalists and Tarrlok were doing to the city. And in this book, they basically walk back her growth and turn her into a shouting imbecile who not only buys into incompetence and lackadaisical detective work but straight up believes that Mako would suddenly turn to terrorist acts and theft on a massive scale...just to hammer the nail that Mako is "all alone" in his crusade to expose Varrick.
Same goes for Asami and Bolin tbh, but those, while annoying that they aren't completely supportive of Mako or at least willing to hear him out, can at least be explained away by Varrick ingratiating himself to them both, Asami at least showing doubt or at least some realization when Mako is arrested that he may be onto something, and Bolin just being a himbo blinded by the opportunity for fame and status and willing to believe the good in Varrick rather than suspect ill intention (something that comes up later). And Bolin does immediately take action the moment he sees something up and apologizes. Lin. Gets. None of that. And it's frankly a crime to a cool character and all just a cheap way to play Mako as the innocent working againsy the system, when really the Varrick plot would have been exposed way earlier if everyone acted in character. Just out of character writing for the sake of lazy drama that doesn't even amount to anything really.
Seeing every reactors of Iroh is always have the same reaction. 😂
The only thing that I didn't like about Korra is the love drama, I get they teens but bro just switching girlfriends like it's easy...
Yo, furry foot is a snitch!
I really fucking hate the term misinformation like terms like that and fake views and other stuff like that is just destroying the language.
Read the book 1984 by George Orwell and you'll understand what I mean.
Would’ve been smarter in my opinion to have Tenzin first help guide Korra & Jinora into the spirit world but letting them follow the rest of the journey on their own since his spiritual connection isn’t strong enough. Giving him some spiritual insight abilities over none would’ve been better for his character and you can still write a similar scenario with Korra & Jinora experiencing the spirit world, in this case it just felt like he was being shit on as a character.
One of the reason this season is considered the weakest among them is because Avatar has always been about not being true evil and things just seeming good from another point of view or due to upbringing (like the firenation kids in ATLA, or Zuko and Azula), but this boils all struggles down to "pure good Raava VS pure evil Vaatu" and to many people it isn't compelling compared to the other stories because there is zero moral ambiguity and it actively takes away agency from characters because if they do something bad it's not their own choice it's Vaatu and when they do something good it's not their regret/remorse/goodwill it's Raava. This becomes clearer near the end of the season. And compared to other antagonists (no spoilers), Unalaq is just a little flat. There is no moral ambiguity but it's just "he's working with pure evil Vaatu so he is pure evil just because". It's not that it's bad, it's just that it's sub par for Avatar to do such a villain. Especially in comparison to the original series and the other antagonists, major and minor, you've seen and have yet to see.
How come HMan is not in these reactions?
Because he never has been? He's stepping away from the channel once Adventure Time is finished.
@@sortastupid I know he has not been. I just didn't know the reason if there was one. Thanks for clarifying me 😊
Go Braves
I don't like spirit world Iroh, it feels like pandering. No, Iroh should have just moved on into the next life, not being stuck on his ego forever.
