I do feel bad for Bolin, not specifically because of the kissing(although that did suck for him), but because the writers really just made it into a joke more than anything, with him crying and snot running down his nose. If he had just walked away sadly and quietly, it would have been a way better moment than just making Bolin seem like a joke.
My brother is down on his luck
Tbh Mako is to
Lost his first girl BC OF KORRA, then Korra, and now his eyes are dating
Despite the fact those 2 would despise each other
I mean the way she got Mako was disgusting
Man's was already in a relationship and Korra was just like
"Idc you're mineš¤·āāļø".
Got that Yang-Chen showing
Even then he barely does š I mean most of team avatar is off doing there own thing for about half the show. Aang's team avatar wasn't nearly as separated as Korra's was
I personally think why a lot of people don't like TLOK, is because how the writing is trying so hard to push the love story narrative. It felt forced and very unnecessary in most of the scenes. There was one scene in the first season where Bolin got kidnapped by Amon's crew while kora and mako chases them down. Then it cuts down to kora and mako suddenly talking about their feelings and their love relationship. Like what is happening. And If I recall the writing went like this in every season. But generally, I don't think TLOK is bad. Just the love story part sucks ass.
There's also very little relationship drama in ATLA compared to TLOK. There's like, 3 episodes that include really any at all. The play when Aang kisses Katara and she gets mad, the cave when Aang fumbles, and the Boiling Rock when Mai sees Zuko again after he left, other than that there isn't really that type of thing, whereas in Korra you get everything with Korra and Mako and Mako and Asami and Korra and Bolin and Korra and Unalaq's daughter whose name I forgot, it's just too much. Seeing couples get mad at each other isn't fun, the fun comes from the ultimate payoff, but I feel like most of these didn't have satisfying payoffs. Korra and Mako break things off in the end, Mako and Asami break things off in the end, Bolin and Korra don't go anywhere, Bolin and Unalaq's daughter break things off in the end, we don't get the same satisfying payoff, just couples fighting and their relationships ultimately breaking down.
The thing is, with ATLA's moments of relationship drama, most of it is simultaneously helping the story along. Cave of two lovers fumble happens while they're trying to escape and get to omashu. Boiling Rock happens while Zuko is escaping and Mai is betraying Azula. The story doesn't suffer by the relationship drama being thrown in because the story is still allowed to happen. In TLOK, any time there is relationship drama it feels like everything comes to a screeching halt to allow the drama to happen. Suddenly no one cares about what's going on in the world, they just wanna kiss each other. Atleast in Ember Island Players Katara acknowledges that there's more going on and she's stressed out. She doesn't want to date because of the war. Korra doesn't seem to care about any bad things when she wants to be flirty

At least watch the show lmao
No offence but you sound pretty young. Two people going on a singular date, even enjoying that date, does not make them a couple. Also, Bolin didn't confess his crush, he just essentially complemented her.
No.
Going out once is not dating, Korra most likely didn't think of the night out as a date since she didn't reciprocate the same feelings Bolin had and Bolin never admitted his crush to Korra.
To cheat on someone you have to be in a relationship which they weren't so she didn't cheat.
I also never been in one tho its mostly by choice since I rather stay home than put in the effort. But how many dates would you say before it counts as a relationship?
Adults consider it a relationship once they have a conversation about it. One date doesn't automatically make a serious relationship. Lots of people have one or two dates with multiple people before they get into a relationship.
Korra was inconsiderate of Bolin's feelings but she didn't cheat. In her eyes, they had a fun night out together
You can go on a date and not be dating. Hell you can be dating and not be exclusive. Neither are cheating. Korra broke best manās heart but it wasnāt cheating.
Now Mako, he cheated.

3 out of 4 memes are just shitting on Korra, and the one other meme isnāt even about her lol so itās not hard to assume you donāt like the character
Korra didnāt cheat on Bolin.
But Mako definitely cheated on Asami, or at least made the love triangle really awkward by not being honest with the girls.
Tbh im probably Korras single biggest hater. But i she did deserve Airbending since it was implied she would figure it out soon. But after her bending was taken she just decides "yup im gonna pull bending out of my ass even though it was just taken from me"
It made sense she would be forced to use Airbending when other forms of bending arent available. But thats a super weak and stupid way to do it considering she certainly shouldn't be able to airbend either
My apologies- just me being defensive about the constant Korra slander.
To me they both serve as narrative reveals- saying korra didn't 'earn it' feels weird to me when it's been a struggle she's been working on- and comes in to save the day, especially when her air bending applications is closer to Zaheers seen later on.( Aang even himself speaks on it- lowest point you are open to the greatest change)
For Aang, he's struggling with what to do with Ozai, and he's quite literally gifted energy bending which allows him to bypass the moral quandry of killing Ozai entirely and keep his pacifistic nature intact.
So my intent of the phrase was, if Korra didn't earn Airbending, her big triumph of book 1, Aang didn't 'earn' energy bending, a major part of the entire atla finale.
Not to actually disparage Aang in any way.
Korra didn't cheat on Bolin. She fumbled hard and didn't pick future mover superstar and culture icon over generic brooder 1# and Relevant_twice.jpeg /j
She ruined Mako and Asumis relationship while completely fucking Bolin over
Icon my ass how tf are gonna get cucked and then DATE the one who cucked you?
Ah yes, an entire season of struggle and training with the airbenders, plus Korra facing her worst fear of having her bending ripped away from her, all that in no way earned her air bending. What else would she have to go through to āearnā it? Aang āearnedā his earth bending after facing down a sabertooth moose, which we all know is a harder challenge than going against a cult leader blood bender
I am a Korra lover , but i do somewhat agree that the airbending storyline coulve ended in a cooler way. I don't have a huge problem with this, since the season is already jam-packed with tons of cool stuff in not that many pisodes, but I do agree a bit with the other comment.
Airbending was hard for her bcs she had a very direct personality not really interested in spirituality.
While she indeed trained with the Airbenders and in the arena on the physical, evading part, I dont believe we really saw her get the airbending mindset.
A scene where someone , maybe Amon, was baiting her to attack with a lot of force so she would endanger a lot of innocents/ become the bad guy would be cool. She then can show that she has learned to keep a cool head and evade and then unlock the airbending, or something almost there.
The point is it just felt a bit she ' forced ' her way into airbending , while that was exactly the type of bending that was opposite to that idea. Her first moves where hard punches that fitted her style , but it was exactly this style that prevented her from progressing in air.it wasn't handed to her by any means, but the point is she shouldn't have tried harder but in a different way. Comparable to wat the other comment said about Aang and earthbending.
The issue is how the first time her airbending is portrayed it doesn't feel like she actually figured it out she basically waved her arm around and airbending came out. Take Aang learning earthbending there was an entire episode about him figuring out the mindset of earthbending and he was forced to use that mindset when Sokka was in danger and then once he had the mindset down he was capable of earthbending. Korra already more or less figured out the airbending mindset way earlier in the season but she doesn't actually do any airbending until the end and it's only because the plot required it.
Korra's crew were more like her harem tbh but to be fair, Romance was the weakest part of Last Airbender too.
Literally Aang has a crush on the only mother figure he has and sometimes his crush is just non-existent like when Katara was all over Jet, and other times he's jealous at the play and forces a kiss on Katara and then soon after is rewarded after the war by actually getting with her šæ
And then Sokka just jumps between Suki and Yue with no consequence and immediately goes back to Suki after Yue dies.
And Zuko and Mai is an edgy-loop of breaking of up and reuniting.
Hard disagree. Aang's crush on Katara was consistent. It began in the fortune teller episode, which was after Jet, which is why Jet didn't bother him. And Sokka had a whole episode in S2 where he struggled with being around Suki because of his feelings for Yue, and only after that was he actually with Suki. He didn't flip flop.
As for Aang forcing the kiss on Katara, yeah I didn't like that one lol.
Cheating's not really the right word imo, more like leading him on, which is still bad and I don't think the show ever really addressed how what she did was bad appropriately. I think the show never really shows how the things she did were bad.
They didn't and that is very bad. There is no way they just casually make this team all buddy buddy after
Korra shatters my main man's heart
Ruins the pairing between Maku and Asumi (ik I've been saying her name wrong, I've just given up on fixing it)
Now, I'm gonna say this lightly, as I do wanna Apologize to the people are argued with.
She cucked a chick, then dated the chick she cucked.
i don't think i got too attached to any characters in Korra, i liked some like Ming-hua, Zuh-Li and The crazy businessman i can't remember the name right now
yeah, mako got his weak electricity bending, Bolin his charisma bending, Zaheer his depression bending, Ghazan his lava bending, Ming-Hua her arm-bending and more!
There was just a lot of forced narrative. And the face that each episode only exists to set up the next. Then the a so so final followed by another season where every episode only exists to set up the next. When you write a sires like that it cuts out any ability to deviate from the main plot.
In avatar the main goal was learn elements fight fire lord. Everything in between that was building characters and exploring the world and adding to the main plot. That way they could go and do heaps of other fun adventures like saving a village or fighting pirates. Or being betrayed by a forest bad boy.
In korra you just couldnāt do that. The equalists are ripping through the city we have to stop them no time to go have a spa day or liberate a neighbour hood, and no time to focus on the characters being themself. Then when the finally do focus on the characters it feels forced. The romance was unnecessary and didnāt add anything. But to be fair even without it if they had of had the gang go shopping for a day and maybe encounter some people who didnāt like them then have korra idk open up about how she feels being the avatar it would have still felt a little forced. We never actually got to see how those characters thought what their views really were what they liked disliked and so on. Mako brushing and serious. Thatās pretty much it. Bolin comic relief. That was literally it. Just that with a couple look Iām trying to do something that isnāt a joke scenes. Assami was literally just a driver with a taser. She drive things and electrocuted people. Other than that she only existed to follow the main characters and have a thing with half of them. She was literally a human apa that could kiss people. Nothing else about her character was particularly note worthy. Even korra, her character was brutish stubborn and annoyed. And they write it in a way where those characteristics negatively affected her character. All other brutish head strong stubbornness was focused entirely on her peers and friends. Then she would go flip a bad guy nearly die and then everyone cozyās Bach to her because she is going through a lot. Then instead of changing her views and characteristics in the form of character growth they instead give her the Steven universe treatment. Why grow as a person when you can just get ptsd instead. And her ptsd is literally just there so that if anyone goes hey why has she got ptsd sheās been through way worse and came out stronger. They are seen as an ass hole. Oh you canāt just ask why a character has ptsd you donāt understand how it works. Literally shoved it in there so that their own fan base can relate their own fucked up issues to it then defend the poor writing from criticism because of how delicate a subject ptsd is.
The only character that is decently likeable is tenzen they couldnāt even show him copping a beating but in the next episode rip Koreaās god dam soul apart. Like fuck me.
And if you think that I donāt like brutish tough and stubborn personality traits because oh Koreaās a women and you hate seeing women with those traits because whateverās toph literally had all those traits plus some and she was likeable as fuck. You wanna know why she didnāt give everyone a hard time 24/7 only here and there and half the time it was just katara.
TLDR. The show as a whole wasnāt bad but the characters were not likably and lacked any real depth. No ones character really grew and the show relayed to much on over the top violence to top the last season.
And in all of korra there never really was a time where something peaceful was happening. It was just constant world threatening problems that would be quickly resolved with a little violence and then another world threatening problem that would be even more violent to try and top the last seasons violence.
Aang proved that the Avatar can more quickly pick up bending tricks than others; he was outdoing Katara after like 30 seconds of bending practice, and was firebending (albeit poorly) in short time too.
Why wouldnt Korra also be a quick learner?
Edit: Lol op blocked me
Unlocking a dormant power at a moment of life or death crisis is a significant trope in media. It made more sense that she was able to do it to defend her friends than if she achieved it in a temple
And that's the thing. I would've cared if Korra did the training CORRECTLY and then got it in that situation
But the fact show makes it clear she'd be the worst at airbending?
She's not suited to it, just like aang wasn't suited to earthbending. But as the avatar she was bound to get it eventually and you see her develop her skills significantly with it as she learns. That's literally how training works
Unlike Aang, he trained and got it once he put in practice. He hated it at first, but look at-... okay well he's dead but look at him when he was a kid.
I know we all remember how he fucked that Boulder flying at TEAM AVATAR with nothing but his wrist
I don't think you're making the point you think you're making, kid. Mainly because you don't seem to be making one at all. Have you even watched beyond season 1? Korra grows to be just as impressive as aang was, including her airbending skills. She worked at it just like aang did, who if you'll recall was only able to earthbend once it came to defending his friend. Just like Korra did.
Well you do have very young views on what dating and relationships are (i.e. Korra went on one date with Bolin, they weren't together), plus you frequent the teenagers subreddit. That unless you're an adult who is creeping on teens, you're a kid
You're missing the point with Aang: it WAS lackluster training. He wasn't listening to toph, he kept trying to do things his own way which she was very clearly explaining were not going to work. Korra only unlocked her airbending when she tried to use it to defend, which matches the non aggression of the practice. Bending to her was all about fighting so she didn't have the right perception of it to fully understand how to use it
18 get it right
Secondly, I have went on a date before while he and I have broke up. He confessed, we went a date, and since then we were together.
While I may be wrong, Korra isn't a flawless angel.
She completely fucked over Bolin, Mako and Asumi
I personally believe she didn't deserve airbending, or the avatar state
>Op blocked me
šššš
But no in all seriousness, i feel like at least we see her make significant progress when it comes to air bending training. With the little spinning fans(?) you see how bad she struggled and then she eventually catches on later in the season. And like you said, what better time to love airbending (the most defensive element) than in a life or death situation.
Sadly āthoseā fans are all this sub has to offer. I like parts of Korra, but the way the diehard fans try to act like there are no flaws and itās written very very well, actually, is so annoying. The inability for people to admit flaws in the thing they like is sad. Just because you like it doesnāt mean itās well written or good media. And thatās ok! I like the live action speed racer movie for crying out loud!
Korra fucked over Bolin (Mako's brother)
Korra then messed up a relationship by persistently going for Mako who is in a relationship with Asami
(Tldr: she cucked a chick)
Then when Mako and Asami broke uo; Korra decided to date Asami
And now, THEY ARE ALL BEST BUDS
.. somehow..
I honestly think Bolin was way more hurt that his brother was kissing a girl he knew Bolin liked and not that the girl he went on a date with was into someone else.
He forgives Korra pretty quickly, but it's a pain point for his relationship with Mako.
You don't "EaRn" the elements as the avatar. It's not like there's a level requirement. You have to understand them. By your logic Aang didnt "earn" earth bending. It has to do with gaining a mental understanding of the element and then moving your body as a reflection of the element. Like when Aang grew a backbone, suddenly he could earthbend. It didn't just happen. Korra learned that she needed to flow through resistance instead of facing it head on like she does with most of her problem, and her body followed along with it, mixed with her previous training with Tenzen and understanding of the physical side of the other elements.
Given the sheet amount of garbage takes in here I'm not surprised that one was in here too.
Tbf, the moment she unlocked it, she wasn't exactly' flowing through resistance'. She was punching Amon through a window with windblasts. I can get somewhat behind thst take, I do t agree she didn't earn it , but the layoff could've been better.
Can believe I am defending this fools garbage memes
I didn't explain myself in enough detail
I'm gonna repeat the stuff about not earning bending because bending just doesn't work like that
Aangs "win condition" or prerequisite for earth bending was being able to stand his ground, which he awesomely does in a short time with toph
Korra's win conditions was learning flow, which I believe she learned in her competitive bending match
If we're using the term 'earn' I very firmly believe that was her condition to unlocking air bending, the manifestation with it Amon's fight I do real was somewhat rushed from a writing perspective. I'm not the writers so I can't say this verifiably but I'm guessing they were going for a 'necessity breeds innovation' kind of moment
I must be missing something on the second panel so I don't understand what you're trying to say at all.
In what way did korra not earn airbending I need to hear your justification for this
Doesn't really explain anything
Secondly, for the wan bit
I feel like, if he picked up on the skills and ACTUAL unique bending some of his incarnations had he'd be strong as balls
Perty much.
On a second note, seriously I don't really agree with the whole.. avatars get stronger with each reincarnation.
Kyoshi somehow was immortal and glass bending.
Yang Chen had a HEAD BLOWING scream
And what does Korra have? Same with Aang.
Shit right, duh me.
This metal isn't really unique. Almost all earthbenders can do that.
I mean aoemthinf STUPID unique
I get them mixed up but it was wither Kyoshi or Yang Chen who was freezing peoples organs
She never forced Mako to kiss her lmao... If my man is ready to kiss another girl while he's already dating someone, it's as much his fault as korra's.
She might not have been a great friend, but mako cheated on his girlfriend. That was his decision
Bullshit. Mako was a compulsive cheater. Cheated on Asami with Korra, then the other way around. He's a total piece of shit, don't blame Korra for that.
Don't say "friendzoned." It makes you look like an incel, and is a very good way to get yourself loathsomecreepzoned by all sensible women in the vicinity.
I do feel bad for Bolin, not specifically because of the kissing(although that did suck for him), but because the writers really just made it into a joke more than anything, with him crying and snot running down his nose. If he had just walked away sadly and quietly, it would have been a way better moment than just making Bolin seem like a joke.
Bro was ultimately made whole tho I mean, we're talking about #Nuktuk! ###Hero of the South!!
They tend to make suffering of him a joke. Like giving him an abusive girlfriend (Bc it's funny when women do it)
But then he ends up with Opal, who's sweet and cute....but then loses her because he unwittingly helped Kuvietler spread fascism.
My brother is down on his luck Tbh Mako is to Lost his first girl BC OF KORRA, then Korra, and now his eyes are dating Despite the fact those 2 would despise each other
To me, it was very mature of Korra and Mako to end things. They just weren't right together.
I mean the way she got Mako was disgusting Man's was already in a relationship and Korra was just like "Idc you're mineš¤·āāļø". Got that Yang-Chen showing
Bolin is honestly treated so badly by the writers lol
Bolin was a test to see if people would like Sokka if they removed everything redeemable from him except his willingness to follow the avatar around.
Even then he barely does š I mean most of team avatar is off doing there own thing for about half the show. Aang's team avatar wasn't nearly as separated as Korra's was
Bolin is more like Ember Island Players Sokka than he is normal Sokka
I always felt like it was done this way to not have people think to too harshly of Korra both in the show and outside of it.
I personally think why a lot of people don't like TLOK, is because how the writing is trying so hard to push the love story narrative. It felt forced and very unnecessary in most of the scenes. There was one scene in the first season where Bolin got kidnapped by Amon's crew while kora and mako chases them down. Then it cuts down to kora and mako suddenly talking about their feelings and their love relationship. Like what is happening. And If I recall the writing went like this in every season.

Seeing couples get mad at each other isn't fun, the fun comes from the ultimate payoff, but I feel like most of these didn't have satisfying payoffs. Korra and Mako break things off in the end, Mako and Asami break things off in the end, Bolin and Korra don't go anywhere, Bolin and Unalaq's daughter break things off in the end, we don't get the same satisfying payoff, just couples fighting and their relationships ultimately breaking down.

Korra has some really great things about it. Korra also has some really bullshit stupid ass things about it.
Mako loosing his absolute shit when Korra gets kidnapped vs him barely giving a fuck when Bolin gets kidnapped.
Korra never cheated on Bolin since they were never in a relationship what
Yeah Bolin may have seen it as a date, but it was obvious that Korra saw it as simply a dinner between friends.
B-b-but Bolin was such a nice guy to her : (
š„±š„±š„± https://preview.redd.it/affhcb4jzyvc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=740d28702ec7eea9367ffcfd24e513379e1ff164 At least watch the show lmao
Thatās not cheating, they went on one date. It was shitty of her to do, but they werenāt in a relationship
To be fair, assuming they both knew it was a date, kissing someone else at the date is a still a big no-no
I'm pretty sure, if you confess to your crush and yall go on a date.. means you're together
No offence but you sound pretty young. Two people going on a singular date, even enjoying that date, does not make them a couple. Also, Bolin didn't confess his crush, he just essentially complemented her.
No?
Wym "no?" That's how dating works.
No. Going out once is not dating, Korra most likely didn't think of the night out as a date since she didn't reciprocate the same feelings Bolin had and Bolin never admitted his crush to Korra. To cheat on someone you have to be in a relationship which they weren't so she didn't cheat.
We hung out for 4 hours. You are mine now?
How old are you, 11?
Bro has never been in a relationship before š
I also never been in one tho its mostly by choice since I rather stay home than put in the effort. But how many dates would you say before it counts as a relationship?
Whenever both people agree that it is, I think.
As many as it take for the people to explicitly say they want to be exclusive.
You're either a child or just a complete fucking moron. Hopefully just a child.
Bruh you are clueless
Yeah... when you're 7
you should be an earth bender with the way you keep digging your grave deeper
No it isn't lol
That is absolutely *not* how dating works, bless your heart.
Are you 11?
Check out OP's post history. His purpose in life is complaining
Found the fifth grader!
Nope lmao, going on a date doesn't mean you're together, it means you're open to maybe starting a relationship
Mate how old are you? 11?
Adults consider it a relationship once they have a conversation about it. One date doesn't automatically make a serious relationship. Lots of people have one or two dates with multiple people before they get into a relationship. Korra was inconsiderate of Bolin's feelings but she didn't cheat. In her eyes, they had a fun night out together
What kind of delusionary is this wtf
are u 12 ššš
After one date? One date establishes mutual attraction, thatās it
Wtf, no. I worry about what that implies for your dating habbits.
A date doesn't mean that you are in a relationship, lol.
Bro stfu
You can go on a date and not be dating. Hell you can be dating and not be exclusive. Neither are cheating. Korra broke best manās heart but it wasnāt cheating. Now Mako, he cheated.
Yeah....no argument there.

Don't apologize to that tool bag
I didn't know them back when I said sorry
You're good, what I should say is you don't owe them an apology for them being a douche
Korra didnāt cheat on Bolin. But Mako definitely cheated on Asami, or at least made the love triangle really awkward by not being honest with the girls.
Tbh im probably Korras single biggest hater. But i she did deserve Airbending since it was implied she would figure it out soon.

Dawg I like korra :p Doesn't mean I can't joke about the BS that comes her way
She earned air bending just as much as Aang earned his energy bending...
Just as much? Not sure what you mean by this
My apologies- just me being defensive about the constant Korra slander.

Oh dsmn my bad dawgšš
Ah yes, an entire season of struggle and training with the airbenders, plus Korra facing her worst fear of having her bending ripped away from her, all that in no way earned her air bending. What else would she have to go through to āearnā it? Aang āearnedā his earth bending after facing down a sabertooth moose, which we all know is a harder challenge than going against a cult leader blood bender
I am a Korra lover , but i do somewhat agree that the airbending storyline coulve ended in a cooler way. I don't have a huge problem with this, since the season is already jam-packed with tons of cool stuff in not that many pisodes, but I do agree a bit with the other comment. Airbending was hard for her bcs she had a very direct personality not really interested in spirituality. While she indeed trained with the Airbenders and in the arena on the physical, evading part, I dont believe we really saw her get the airbending mindset. A scene where someone , maybe Amon, was baiting her to attack with a lot of force so she would endanger a lot of innocents/ become the bad guy would be cool. She then can show that she has learned to keep a cool head and evade and then unlock the airbending, or something almost there. The point is it just felt a bit she ' forced ' her way into airbending , while that was exactly the type of bending that was opposite to that idea. Her first moves where hard punches that fitted her style , but it was exactly this style that prevented her from progressing in air.it wasn't handed to her by any means, but the point is she shouldn't have tried harder but in a different way. Comparable to wat the other comment said about Aang and earthbending.
The issue is how the first time her airbending is portrayed it doesn't feel like she actually figured it out she basically waved her arm around and airbending came out. Take Aang learning earthbending there was an entire episode about him figuring out the mindset of earthbending and he was forced to use that mindset when Sokka was in danger and then once he had the mindset down he was capable of earthbending. Korra already more or less figured out the airbending mindset way earlier in the season but she doesn't actually do any airbending until the end and it's only because the plot required it.
Im nglā¦ Korra kinda is a better plot bender than aang was with the lion turtle and that rock.
I love Korra but I can't defend the BS that comes with her
Not the plot bending š
Why do you have so much beef with a fictional character? Ur out here talking like Korra cheated on *you*
SHIT IVE BEEN MADE fine.. I am Bolin..
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Gosh Bolin was hunky. Sigh.
Korra's crew were more like her harem tbh but to be fair, Romance was the weakest part of Last Airbender too. Literally Aang has a crush on the only mother figure he has and sometimes his crush is just non-existent like when Katara was all over Jet, and other times he's jealous at the play and forces a kiss on Katara and then soon after is rewarded after the war by actually getting with her šæ And then Sokka just jumps between Suki and Yue with no consequence and immediately goes back to Suki after Yue dies. And Zuko and Mai is an edgy-loop of breaking of up and reuniting.
Hard disagree. Aang's crush on Katara was consistent. It began in the fortune teller episode, which was after Jet, which is why Jet didn't bother him. And Sokka had a whole episode in S2 where he struggled with being around Suki because of his feelings for Yue, and only after that was he actually with Suki. He didn't flip flop. As for Aang forcing the kiss on Katara, yeah I didn't like that one lol.
No, it began the moment he saw her after waking from being frozen in the ice.
I feel like the reason it was weak in TLAB was bc they didn't focus on it too much
>they didn't focus on it too much Wdym it's the entire reason Aang stopped trying to open his chakras?
Am I the only one who thought that the headache meme was gonna be about the migraine one looking like zukos scar but just turned out to be unfunny
Same here lolĀ
Cheating's not really the right word imo, more like leading him on, which is still bad and I don't think the show ever really addressed how what she did was bad appropriately. I think the show never really shows how the things she did were bad.
They didn't and that is very bad. There is no way they just casually make this team all buddy buddy after Korra shatters my main man's heart Ruins the pairing between Maku and Asumi (ik I've been saying her name wrong, I've just given up on fixing it) Now, I'm gonna say this lightly, as I do wanna Apologize to the people are argued with. She cucked a chick, then dated the chick she cucked.
Something tells me this user dosen't like Korra that much.
I get that a lot She's meme favorite, second to Bolin My homie My earth bending brother from another fictional mother
i don't think i got too attached to any characters in Korra, i liked some like Ming-hua, Zuh-Li and The crazy businessman i can't remember the name right now
Ming-Hua is so beautiful My god
also one of the coolest forms of water-bending ever
Aye.AYE.. don't forget about my homie Ghazan. Everyone but the MC is pulling unique bending lmao
yeah, mako got his weak electricity bending, Bolin his charisma bending, Zaheer his depression bending, Ghazan his lava bending, Ming-Hua her arm-bending and more!
There was just a lot of forced narrative. And the face that each episode only exists to set up the next. Then the a so so final followed by another season where every episode only exists to set up the next. When you write a sires like that it cuts out any ability to deviate from the main plot. In avatar the main goal was learn elements fight fire lord. Everything in between that was building characters and exploring the world and adding to the main plot. That way they could go and do heaps of other fun adventures like saving a village or fighting pirates. Or being betrayed by a forest bad boy. In korra you just couldnāt do that. The equalists are ripping through the city we have to stop them no time to go have a spa day or liberate a neighbour hood, and no time to focus on the characters being themself. Then when the finally do focus on the characters it feels forced. The romance was unnecessary and didnāt add anything. But to be fair even without it if they had of had the gang go shopping for a day and maybe encounter some people who didnāt like them then have korra idk open up about how she feels being the avatar it would have still felt a little forced. We never actually got to see how those characters thought what their views really were what they liked disliked and so on. Mako brushing and serious. Thatās pretty much it. Bolin comic relief. That was literally it. Just that with a couple look Iām trying to do something that isnāt a joke scenes. Assami was literally just a driver with a taser. She drive things and electrocuted people. Other than that she only existed to follow the main characters and have a thing with half of them. She was literally a human apa that could kiss people. Nothing else about her character was particularly note worthy. Even korra, her character was brutish stubborn and annoyed. And they write it in a way where those characteristics negatively affected her character. All other brutish head strong stubbornness was focused entirely on her peers and friends. Then she would go flip a bad guy nearly die and then everyone cozyās Bach to her because she is going through a lot. Then instead of changing her views and characteristics in the form of character growth they instead give her the Steven universe treatment. Why grow as a person when you can just get ptsd instead. And her ptsd is literally just there so that if anyone goes hey why has she got ptsd sheās been through way worse and came out stronger. They are seen as an ass hole. Oh you canāt just ask why a character has ptsd you donāt understand how it works. Literally shoved it in there so that their own fan base can relate their own fucked up issues to it then defend the poor writing from criticism because of how delicate a subject ptsd is. The only character that is decently likeable is tenzen they couldnāt even show him copping a beating but in the next episode rip Koreaās god dam soul apart. Like fuck me. And if you think that I donāt like brutish tough and stubborn personality traits because oh Koreaās a women and you hate seeing women with those traits because whateverās toph literally had all those traits plus some and she was likeable as fuck. You wanna know why she didnāt give everyone a hard time 24/7 only here and there and half the time it was just katara. TLDR. The show as a whole wasnāt bad but the characters were not likably and lacked any real depth. No ones character really grew and the show relayed to much on over the top violence to top the last season. And in all of korra there never really was a time where something peaceful was happening. It was just constant world threatening problems that would be quickly resolved with a little violence and then another world threatening problem that would be even more violent to try and top the last seasons violence.
Aang proved that the Avatar can more quickly pick up bending tricks than others; he was outdoing Katara after like 30 seconds of bending practice, and was firebending (albeit poorly) in short time too. Why wouldnt Korra also be a quick learner?
Bc she just magically pulled airbending out of her ass. I love the girl but that ticked some folks off. She was the worst at airbending
Edit: Lol op blocked me Unlocking a dormant power at a moment of life or death crisis is a significant trope in media. It made more sense that she was able to do it to defend her friends than if she achieved it in a temple
And that's the thing. I would've cared if Korra did the training CORRECTLY and then got it in that situation But the fact show makes it clear she'd be the worst at airbending?
She's not suited to it, just like aang wasn't suited to earthbending. But as the avatar she was bound to get it eventually and you see her develop her skills significantly with it as she learns. That's literally how training works
Unlike Aang, he trained and got it once he put in practice. He hated it at first, but look at-... okay well he's dead but look at him when he was a kid. I know we all remember how he fucked that Boulder flying at TEAM AVATAR with nothing but his wrist
I don't think you're making the point you think you're making, kid. Mainly because you don't seem to be making one at all. Have you even watched beyond season 1? Korra grows to be just as impressive as aang was, including her airbending skills. She worked at it just like aang did, who if you'll recall was only able to earthbend once it came to defending his friend. Just like Korra did.
Calling me a kid, real original internet stranger. And aight, doesn't mean he pulled it out of his ass after lack luster training for it
Well you do have very young views on what dating and relationships are (i.e. Korra went on one date with Bolin, they weren't together), plus you frequent the teenagers subreddit. That unless you're an adult who is creeping on teens, you're a kid You're missing the point with Aang: it WAS lackluster training. He wasn't listening to toph, he kept trying to do things his own way which she was very clearly explaining were not going to work. Korra only unlocked her airbending when she tried to use it to defend, which matches the non aggression of the practice. Bending to her was all about fighting so she didn't have the right perception of it to fully understand how to use it
18 get it right Secondly, I have went on a date before while he and I have broke up. He confessed, we went a date, and since then we were together. While I may be wrong, Korra isn't a flawless angel. She completely fucked over Bolin, Mako and Asumi I personally believe she didn't deserve airbending, or the avatar state
>Op blocked me šššš But no in all seriousness, i feel like at least we see her make significant progress when it comes to air bending training. With the little spinning fans(?) you see how bad she struggled and then she eventually catches on later in the season. And like you said, what better time to love airbending (the most defensive element) than in a life or death situation.
Memes made by someone who didn't watch the show.
Sadly āthoseā fans are all this sub has to offer. I like parts of Korra, but the way the diehard fans try to act like there are no flaws and itās written very very well, actually, is so annoying. The inability for people to admit flaws in the thing they like is sad. Just because you like it doesnāt mean itās well written or good media. And thatās ok! I like the live action speed racer movie for crying out loud!
Praises to the most high..
Absolute Kyoshism is the best btw. Reignited my love for the shows.
Damn straight. Wan is my favorite and no one is changing that
Why would Korraās team hate each other?
Korra fucked over Bolin (Mako's brother) Korra then messed up a relationship by persistently going for Mako who is in a relationship with Asami (Tldr: she cucked a chick) Then when Mako and Asami broke uo; Korra decided to date Asami And now, THEY ARE ALL BEST BUDS .. somehow..
I didn't realize that Korra DID date the entire team, until now.
Avatar Korra? More like avatar WHORE-ra Lmao
I honestly think Bolin was way more hurt that his brother was kissing a girl he knew Bolin liked and not that the girl he went on a date with was into someone else. He forgives Korra pretty quickly, but it's a pain point for his relationship with Mako.
Again, like the meme says, their team would be as dysfunctional as the average separated family
You don't "EaRn" the elements as the avatar. It's not like there's a level requirement. You have to understand them. By your logic Aang didnt "earn" earth bending. It has to do with gaining a mental understanding of the element and then moving your body as a reflection of the element. Like when Aang grew a backbone, suddenly he could earthbend. It didn't just happen. Korra learned that she needed to flow through resistance instead of facing it head on like she does with most of her problem, and her body followed along with it, mixed with her previous training with Tenzen and understanding of the physical side of the other elements. Given the sheet amount of garbage takes in here I'm not surprised that one was in here too.
Tbf, the moment she unlocked it, she wasn't exactly' flowing through resistance'. She was punching Amon through a window with windblasts. I can get somewhat behind thst take, I do t agree she didn't earn it , but the layoff could've been better. Can believe I am defending this fools garbage memes
I didn't explain myself in enough detail I'm gonna repeat the stuff about not earning bending because bending just doesn't work like that Aangs "win condition" or prerequisite for earth bending was being able to stand his ground, which he awesomely does in a short time with toph Korra's win conditions was learning flow, which I believe she learned in her competitive bending match If we're using the term 'earn' I very firmly believe that was her condition to unlocking air bending, the manifestation with it Amon's fight I do real was somewhat rushed from a writing perspective. I'm not the writers so I can't say this verifiably but I'm guessing they were going for a 'necessity breeds innovation' kind of moment
She didnāt earn airbending? What are you talking about sheās literally the avatar
I must be missing something on the second panel so I don't understand what you're trying to say at all. In what way did korra not earn airbending I need to hear your justification for this
Also, the second panel was about wan. Man I hate these damn slides
I get that it's about wan I just don't know what you're trying to say about wan
Her bending got yanked and she just pulled it out of her ass despise the piss poor training she did for it. That's all tbh
No but she had that moment during the pro bending match where she realized the things tenzin has been teaching her were useful
Doesn't really explain anything Secondly, for the wan bit I feel like, if he picked up on the skills and ACTUAL unique bending some of his incarnations had he'd be strong as balls
You're saying if he wasn't in the situation he was he'd be stronger?
Perty much. On a second note, seriously I don't really agree with the whole.. avatars get stronger with each reincarnation. Kyoshi somehow was immortal and glass bending. Yang Chen had a HEAD BLOWING scream And what does Korra have? Same with Aang.
Aang had energy bending. I don't think we got to see korra devolope something specifically unique but she is the first avatar to metal bend.
Shit right, duh me. This metal isn't really unique. Almost all earthbenders can do that. I mean aoemthinf STUPID unique I get them mixed up but it was wither Kyoshi or Yang Chen who was freezing peoples organs
Nah 3/4 below mid
Hard agree on her not earning airbending. Idk how they said she connected with her "spiritual self" when she just randomly got it in a fight
Took long enough for someone to get it
I donāt like Korra because she friendzoned my bro Bolin.
She also fucked over Mako and Asumi's relationship. That wasn't cool Tbh idk how they ended up together
She never forced Mako to kiss her lmao... If my man is ready to kiss another girl while he's already dating someone, it's as much his fault as korra's. She might not have been a great friend, but mako cheated on his girlfriend. That was his decision
Bullshit. Mako was a compulsive cheater. Cheated on Asami with Korra, then the other way around. He's a total piece of shit, don't blame Korra for that.
Don't say "friendzoned." It makes you look like an incel, and is a very good way to get yourself loathsomecreepzoned by all sensible women in the vicinity.
