I hate when people say that LOK has no martial arts. For 1, the fighting animation in the show Is amazing. And 2, As the show presents to us, the times are updated evolved and so are the fighting styles.
indeed.. in the 70 year gap btwn ATLA & LOK, the respective bending arts' fighting styles have broken away from tradition & gone on to become more unconventional. Case in point, the Metalbending Academy
Yeah. Even Iroh advised for more evolution in bending in a scene from ATLA. The nations are more together this time around since it’s been 70 years. Also we still see a lot of characters bend traditionally. Anytime I see people say no martial arts they have probending in their minds when that was supposed to be like boxing and was more simplistic/ practical due to the rules of the game. The only people we see use probending style after season 1 are Mako and Bolin considering they’ve played it for so long (that also helps with their teamwork) and Korra when she mixes it in with traditional bending.
I hate it when people say that Legend Of Korra doesn't show the old bending techniques, when that's not true. Yes, bending has evolved throughout the decades and now most benders have learned some kind of style that benders use in pro-bending, but there are still a lot of examples of characters who use the traditional bending style, like the older characters (Tenzin, Zaheer, Kya etc) and now we also have the more evolved modern bending style that takes a lot of inspiration from each element bending style, just like how some characters in ATLA used different bending styles from other elements. Both shows have shown a lot of characters using things from each element, but Lok haters refuse to acknowledge this fact.
zaheer actually has a different style. because he didn't have traditional airbending teachings, he incorporated his martial art skills into his bending style. although he may have incorporated some airbending techniques into his martial arts since he studied airbending history and lore.
I do MMA so personally I loved the more modern style of bending brought into LoK. Which never really bothered me bc time goes on and things change. I put that in one of my other comments that people try to compare the shows all the time. AtLA is one of the greatest if not the greatest show. People need to enjoy them both in their own rights. They're different shows in different time periods, so things will be different. Even how the characters act. Like people get mad at how her character is. Like her character is the definition of a teenager. Anger issues, impatient and thinks they always know better, make dumb decisions under pressure. People don't make sense
I always loved Korra and she remains an absolute powerhouse, but I always wondered what it would be like if Mako taught her to Lightning Bend. Not that I think she needed it, but imagine her utilizing electricity to accompany her recent development in metal bending.
Its fast but I dont think it is as strong as ozais,irohs, or azula because when he shot lightning at amon he got up quick. And it was like it never happend but when azula shot zuko he was knocked to the ground and could not get up
@@andre2706 I think the faster you do the movements for lighting bending the weaker the "charge" hence why Mako's lightning bending is not as harmful as Azula's most of the time bc his intent is to only knockout his target like he did with the car chase against the Equalists on S1 E08. With Amon, his movement is being restricted by bloodbending, so he can't do the longer "charge" needed even if his intent is to kill Amon with lightning. The first (and only) time we actually see Mako lightning bend with the same or closer amount of power as Azula's is at the S4 E13 when he has to overpower the spirit vine-battery of the Colossus, and you can actually see him doing the longer and more drawn out version of lightning bending. Because he needs to generate more power than the shorter and faster bursts he comes up with most of the time, hence why the his movements is closer to the orginal in that scene.
In the episode of Korra when the villains they capture Korra in the cave and they are putting her poison while Korra she fight though poison in the episode a coolest and awesome moment ever
I love the legend of korra so much Ik ppl don’t like it but I watched it growing up and as a child you don’t pay attention to all the storyline and stuff it just has a special place in my heart
The flashback with Aang and Yakone was pretty cool. Mostly cause of seeing Aang in action as an adult. It was also heartwarming for me to see him bring Korra’s bending back.
The Legend of Korra is The coolest and amazing serie animation of Nickelodeon the story is very interesting and cool,the fight scenes are amazing and incredible and the characters are cool and other hilarious
I feel like one of the reasons people hate LoK so much is because they constantly try and compare to AtLA when nothing will ever compare to that show. That being said, Korra is fantastic in it's own rights. People say her feats of power never matched to Aang's, I would say she surpassed them honestly. Beat a blood bender with only airbending, beat a giant spirit dark avatar after her connection to the past avatar's were severed or maybe it was before. Either way that's an amazing fucking feat. Almost killed the Red Lotus in a matter of seconds by herself in the avatar state after the poison was injected into her. I was able to keep up with an almost kill Zaheer for a excellent amount of time before the poison really got to her, and that was on her own strength and will power alone in the avatar state, no past lives or anything to help. AND she also bended a giant spirit cannon beam
It’s too bad there won’t be a third series. I would’ve loved to see the Avatar in the modern day and how Korra’s actions had many repercussions in the future. I also would’ve loved to see new forms of bending, like heatbending, glassbending, telekinesis, dual bending, and bending arts adapted through modern technology.
P'li's death shouldve been part of the list or the honorable mentions and not just a clip. Suyin bending her armor to trap P'li's head while she combustionbends was one of the most shocking and epic moments of LoK
“I’m a simple man making his way through the galaxy, like my father before me.” But seriously, I’m just a simple man, I see Korra on the thumbnail, I click right away!!! 🔥🦅🌪🌊🌏💚
Yes TLOK getting the recognition it deserves!!! It does such a wonderful job of giving us ATLA history and also setting itself apart form ATLA. Such a good show
Top 10 Most Badass Men on Avatar: The Last Airbender 10: Jeong Jeong 9: Piandao 8: King Bumi 7: Master Pakku 6: Jet 5: Avatar Roku 4: Sokka 3: Iroh 2: Aang Honorable Mentions: Fire Lord Ozai , Monk Gyatso, Longshot, Zhao, Long Feng, Haru, Hakoda 1: Zuko
@Princess Azula Well, your highness, let's see. Zuko can redirect lightning, he can firebend, he can win a battle against a hundred soldiers with nothing but two identical swords, and he can win against ten with your Uncle Iroh. May I go on, your majesty?
This show was filled with innovative ideas considering its several decades after ATLA. Will always love TLOK, just wish Season 2 could get redone cause it really brings the show down
I like Tenzin fighting against Zaheer is the coolest and awesome fight moment in the series and Tenzin he is the coolest and amazing father airbender ever
@@georgeprchal3924 what about that psychotic Azula, the bitch who nearly killed him & ended the Avatar Cycle!? Don't forget that Azula escaped from the mental asylum (where it should've been rendered completely depowered & locked in solitary confinement indefinitely) & developed a cult of followers
Why is Kya's fight against Zaheer not even in the honorable mentions? She's so underrated, I mean she learned waterbending from Katara and she's the daughter of avatar Aang!
Korra didn’t use energy bending to bend the spirit beam that was aangs bending which Korra doesn’t have anymore since she doesn’t have aang or any of the other previous avatars anymore she used spirit bending
That's actually incorrect. She still knows how to energy bend, that's how we got giant spirit Korra in the Book 2 finale. She definitely used energybending on the spirit beam.
Lin Beifong : Did he just fly? Me: (Duh!) Zaheer flying away with Korra.. Ghazan : Guess he doesn't need a ride? Me: (Um..duh?) Should mention how Zhu Li betrayed Kuvira..she was the best non-bender support in that series..
I really dunno weather amon would be mad about not being included for his strength in bloodbending Or if he'd be happy he wasn't included in a list all about bending
Where is mako zaps amon while being bloodbent and mako willing to sacrifice himself for destroying the giant mecha its one of the most beautiful and awesome bending in the whole show
10:13 oh that moment when Tof comes.........oh.......SO GOOD, "you gave metal benders a bad name" that's like the most simple way to tell someone they are wrong, by make them recall the truth
Did nobody else realize when Bolin lifted that heavy ass metal plate off everyone else when Kuvira attacked republic city with her giant?!? He did somehow learn how to metal bend in the end but nobody seemed to notice?!?!
I don't care that the fight in the season 2 finale didn't make a lot of sense, with the bright visuals, immense score, and emotional catharsis, it earned its spot on this list.
When Korra did groundbreaking stomp with chains on Zaheer's leg, he sure should break every single bone inside his body... No wonder why he still is able to airbend at all...
I am actually watching this series for the 3 time right now I love the animation in episode 2 but I don't no how this is canon to the previous avatar show
I hate when people say that LOK has no martial arts.
For 1, the fighting animation in the show Is amazing.

Don't know about Y'all but season 3 of LOK was theee BEST season ever!
Yeah
I will actually say season 2 best
ignore first episode.. of season 2
I think if s3 will be published maybe it will be the next bender after korra
@@itsme3272in my opinion season 2 is the worst
Let's all agree that korra is a badass
Yea I love her
SUPER SEXY
Yh
Korra is HOT 😘🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐
No matter how great Avatar the Last Airbender was, TLOK definitely had more epic bending moments. Hands down!
Also, not saying Legend of Korra wasn’t also great! It was ☺️
@@ShatianaB yh I ended up loving it more than last airbender
@@KEEMchoosen777 same actually! I found TLOK to be way more relatable. Also the bending was unmatched!!
In the episode of Korra when the villains they capture Korra in the cave and they are putting her poison while Korra she fight though poison in the episode a coolest and awesome moment ever
Yeah, despite how efficient and capable this group proved to be up to this point, in that moment, they SERIOUSLY miscalculated.
I love the legend of korra so much Ik ppl don’t like it but I watched it growing up and as a child you don’t pay attention to all the storyline and stuff it just has a special place in my heart
Same :)
I don't care what people say this show is awesome
ikr
zaheer takes the air out of the lungs of the earth queen. the most brutal and terrifying airbending move EVER!!!!
Yes That should have been mentioned in this because that is so creative and sinister
Bolin learned lavabending at the Northern Air Temple, not Air Temple Island.
I was just about to correct them
Zaheer himself said in Book 4 that Korra's power is limitless. She's the greatest Avatar hands down.
He’s referring to the power of the Avatar, not Korra specifically.
@@GokuBlack-rv8yj korra being able to resist the poison and fight zaheer was completly her on power and not the avatars
I agree
@@demetrivilliers1692 I agree. But when Zaheer says this he meant the power of her as an avatar not as Korra.
@@GokuBlack-rv8yj Oh yeah you are right
The flashback with Aang and Yakone was pretty cool.
Mostly cause of seeing Aang in action as an adult.
It was also heartwarming for me to see him bring Korra’s bending back.
That Red Lotus vs Team Avatar Final Showdown is definitely one of my absolute favourite battles out of both series! ⛰️🔥🌪️🌊
The White Lotus vs. The Red Lotus
Which Team Will Win?
I Vote For Team White Lotus
The Legend of Korra is one of the best, if not the *BEST* sequel series ever created. No one can change my mind
ME TOO
Agree
Yup
Don't the vast majority of people absolutely despise it?
@@HaydrogenBomb24 yEp
I love how she says “i’m the avatar!! You got to deal with it!”
Hilarious 😂
Mako and Korra vs Amon was a crazy epic fight too.
Zaheer represents what airbenders would've been if they had no morals;
Airbending is probably the most deadliest and versatile element there is
The Legend of Korra is The coolest and amazing serie animation of Nickelodeon the story is very interesting and cool,the fight scenes are amazing and incredible and the characters are cool and other hilarious
yeah
I agree
Such a great series 😎
I know its so underrated
I'M WATCHING🌬ALL SEASONS OF LOK💙💙
Fax
I just finished watching over the entire series today, even better the second time❤️
Same here. Sooo sooo good!
I feel like one of the reasons people hate LoK so much is because they constantly try and compare to AtLA when nothing will ever compare to that show. That being said, Korra is fantastic in it's own rights. People say her feats of power never matched to Aang's, I would say she surpassed them honestly. Beat a blood bender with only airbending, beat a giant spirit dark avatar after her connection to the past avatar's were severed or maybe it was before. Either way that's an amazing fucking feat.

This makes me want to binge Legend of Korra again T_T
PLEASE GO DO IT
@@BigsoldierMx LOL I just might which is sad since I just watched it again not too long ago. I never seem to get tired of it
SAME I JUST FINISHED RE WATCHING LEGEND OF KORRA 2 DAYS AGO, AND I WAS CRYING SO HARD AT THE FINALE
@@Emily-bp6qz SAME
It doesn't matter what others may say but for me Avatar the Last Airbender and Legend of Korra are the best animated series ever.
It’s too bad there won’t be a third series. I would’ve loved to see the Avatar in the modern day and how Korra’s actions had many repercussions in the future. I also would’ve loved to see new forms of bending, like heatbending, glassbending, telekinesis, dual bending, and bending arts adapted through modern technology.

A third series was recently announced!
P'li's death shouldve been part of the list or the honorable mentions and not just a clip. Suyin bending her armor to trap P'li's head while she combustionbends was one of the most shocking and epic moments of LoK
I'm 2 weeks late to this video but if anyone sees this, Tenzin is underrated because it took all 4 members of the red lotus to take him down
Kora is one of the greatest Avatars to ever exist. (And kyoshi) 💃
2 of my favorite avatars. Hopefully they make new avatars that i will like soon👬
“I’m a simple man making his way through the galaxy, like my father before me.”
But seriously, I’m just a simple man, I see Korra on the thumbnail, I click right away!!!

@Princess Azula You make a good point, princess.
Zaheer vs Tenzin is one of the best duels of both ATLA & TLOR.
Mako's shooting and redirecting the electricity in the mecha should have been on the list.
Agreed
That show was so good it makes me cry just seeing highlights and knowing nothing of that caliber has existed ever since.
I love that show, it gets me crying 😭. Also, do you do suggestions/requests?
This show was filled with innovative ideas considering its several decades after ATLA. Will always love TLOK, just wish Season 2 could get redone cause it really brings the show down
I like Tenzin fighting against Zaheer is the coolest and awesome fight moment in the series and Tenzin he is the coolest and amazing father airbender ever
Tenzin vs Zaheer is basically the only airbending battle ever shown in the entire franchise.
A new old avatar, Avatar Wan voiced by Steven Yuen from The Walking Dead. Makes him so awesome!
Lin Beifong was so badass she honestly was my favorite character
Unpopular opinion: Kuvira is the most badass character in tlok
How is this unpopular? She is one of the best villains af ATLA and LOK. honestly all the villains of both shows, exept unalak are badass.
I love how Aang just stripped away Yakone's bloodbending
🌎
Should have killed him. Saved everyone future problems.
@@georgeprchal3924 what about that psychotic Azula, the bitch who nearly killed him & ended the Avatar Cycle!? Don't forget that Azula escaped from the mental asylum (where it should've been rendered completely depowered & locked in solitary confinement indefinitely) & developed a cult of followers
No one could prepare me for tiny Korra, let alone in the first 2 minutes of the show.
Please do top 10 best Avatar and Legend of Korra villains
They already did
Why is Kya's fight against Zaheer not even in the honorable mentions? She's so underrated, I mean she learned waterbending from Katara and she's the daughter of avatar Aang!
If I don't see bolin first time lava bending imma be mad☹
The legend of Korra is child hood for some people and something that grows on us for others....
FINALLY!!! I have been waiting for this list!
Zaheer should have been confirmed as a son of Aang. Of all the fan theories in all of fiction this is the one I completely agree
the last fight against Amon is amazong
Zahir was such an amazing villain, and an absolutely perfect fit for Henry Rollins!
this video is proof of how good season 3 is
Korra’s firebending is very underrated in my opinion
At first I thought raava was the cat deer…
The I watched the series 😂😂
Love all the Avatars and u
I personally would have put Korra vs the Equalists on the list instead of in the honorable mentions.
I wish Korra spoke with Aang spirit more often.
Yakone is psychic waterbender,that's the rarest thing in ATLA and TLOK
Awesome 😎
I now love Korra as the beat Heroine I have ever enjoy of watching the show
The Legend of Korra adds lore to Avatar mythos
I love all the coments in this video! So much love for Korra ❤
nice
I was expecting number one to be when Amon takes bending away and shows how powerful he is as a bloodbender
come on msmojo give my girl naga some love
korra is the best ever such a badass
Best show ever
No
Really love #6
Me: never seen Legend of Korra
Also me: Interesting

Not from the movie right?
@@axelnilsson5124 Duh
haven’t watched the vid but i really have to say this: WEI AND WING !!! 💚

Lin Beifong : Did he just fly?
Me: (Duh!)
Zaheer flying away with Korra..
Ghazan : Guess he doesn't need a ride?
Me: (Um..duh?)
Should mention how Zhu Li betrayed Kuvira..she was the best non-bender support in that series..
I really dunno weather amon would be mad about not being included for his strength in bloodbending
Or if he'd be happy he wasn't included in a list all about bending
i love this show so much

Cool.
i will always love avatar
legend of Korra is my favorite show and supports the lgbtq and I love Korra and Asami
me to even though it was little rush
I don't care that the fight in the season 2 finale didn't make a lot of sense, with the bright visuals, immense score, and emotional catharsis, it earned its spot on this list.
Making korra so strong was a mistake, a big chunk of aangs series was him trying to improve and koraa learned like 3 elements by the time she was 5
I would love to see the next series taking place on a cyberpunk setting
I can imagine that 30 years after the series, she would destroy Sozin’s Comet so it would never be used again.
When Korra did groundbreaking stomp with chains on Zaheer's leg, he sure should break every single bone inside his body... No wonder why he still is able to airbend at all...
I am actually watching this series for the 3 time right now I love the animation in episode 2 but I don't no how this is canon to the previous avatar show
3:59 That wasn't Air Temple Island. That was the Northern Air Temple
YE YE
I like the first season of LOK.
Fire Bending is my favorite in Korra
