ZAHEER CAN FLY?!! THE BEST EPISODE EVER!!! THE LEGEND OF KORRA BOOK 3 EPISODE 12 | BLIND REACTION

[@cedeceekoriresu1792]

Hey guys, there are new people here every video so here's further has to be removed. I’m sure everyone wants them to experience this show spoiler free, similarly to when you first watched it too, so please be careful with how much you decide to share. This includes hinting at upcoming events or even telling them which future episodes you dislike. After all, this should be a blind reaction. Please be considerate. Thanks for understanding!

[@ishismits1862]

P'li's death, Zaheer flying, Bolin lavabending. This episode really is insane

[@AkinReacts]

Amazing episode !!!

[@davidmichaelson1092]

Zaheer's ability to sever worldly tethers is in contrast to what we learned in Last Airbender when Aang learned that as the Avatar he had to be tethered to the world (contrary to Guru Patik's teaching). By contrast, Zaheer is able to realize Guru Patik's of severing all worldly tethers. I admire the complexities of this franchise.

Zaheer lost his love so he was able to become one with the wind, something Aang couldn’t do because he could not let go of Katara and unlock his chakras.

Yeah makes sense

1. He did let go of katara in the end of season2 2. He did unlock his chakras 3. Katara was still alive during Aangs life.

[@frederick2609]

Zaheer is normal height, P'li is just really tall. Tall girls need love too and I think it says a lot about Zaheer that he will be with a tall girl. A lot of men wouldn't date a girl taller then them because it makes them feel "small" or less "manly". But Zaheer knows who he is and doesn't feel "lesser" for being with a strong and tall woman.

[@qawamity]

Great reaction, fellas, A+. So, Zaheer flying has been hinted at since the first episode of the season. As much as Zaheer wanted to "liberate the world", more than anything else what mattered to him was P'li. With P'li gone, Zaheer still has his agenda, but it isn't what really and truly matters to him. As a side note, P'li's death was a lot more humane than the Earth Queen's. Sure, messy as hell, chunky salsa and all that, but at least it was quick. Also, gotta love how deadpan unshakable Ghazan is, "Guess he doesn't need a ride." Kuvira has been popping up in the background and off to the side ever since Korra met the Metal Clan. So, lavabending, right? In theory, it isn't too different from what waterbenders do when they change ice to water or vice versa. In practice, however, a lot trickier. Between having a firebender for a brother and being involved in pro-bending, where he regularly got to fight beside and against waterbenders, plus dating a waterbending princess, you'd figure Bolin had enough exposure to heat and fluidity to figure it out. Ironically, his desire to metalbend probably slowed him down, his efforts were misdirected. At least now he'll be on more even footing the next time he encounters Ghazan. Next episode is gonna be a rollercoaster, fellas, strap in for it!

It's not that Zaheer is short, it's that P'Li is tall. Girl is a whole 6',5".

[@richardohanlon3036]

The reason fire bending feels weaker now is that only the good guys are using it. All of the antagonists, with the exception of P'li, have either been water benders, earth benders or Zaheer, an air bender. Also to keep in mind: while Mako and Korra aren't slouches, and Korra especially showed an aptitude for Fire bending, no one in Korra has been the Fire bending prodigy that Azula or Ozai were, it's just not what the show wants to focus on since "Fire benders are real scary and powerful" was kind of done already in ATLA. Ultimately all the elements have at some point been beastly, it just comes down to who's using em'

[@surelyashley5726]

Zaheer is not short. She's (P'li) just the one that's really tall. She is technically a giant.

[@AMetalWorld]

So for context, now that you see how truly snapped Zaheer is, think back to what Zuko said at the start of season 3. ‘Alone, they could take out any bender.’ He says this from the point of view of someone who has seen incredible power escalation *and* someone who saw Zaheer when he was still a nonbender. So he means Zaheer could take down any bender *without bending* Tenzin 1v1’d him after he got airbending and still won. Also RIP P’li, for all the raw power these combustion benders seem to have, they sure do seem to be their own worst enemies, don’t they? Still, she had quite a sad life. They don’t talk about it in the show much, other than her being a tool for murder at the hands of a mad warlord. Or Ming Hua’s dismemberment, really. There are a series of fanmade comics which expound upon the characters and origins of the Red Lotus however, and they’re quite good. You guys should check them out sometime. I forget the artist or I would source their work PS Game recommendations you say? Well then, there’s a nifty little indie game you probably haven’t heard of called Elden Ring. Makes for excellent content, at least for sadists lmao Btw, that girl at the end, Kuvira, is voiced by Zelda Williams, the daughter of the late great Robin Williams. RIP

[@ry-et1vi]

I'm curious, do you guys edit the videos yourself? Or do you get someone who already knows the show to do it so like reactions to any foreshadowing or whatnot are sure to be included?

[@tanorfoote6341]

Kuvira isn't exactly a random if you rewatch the metal clan episodes; she's apart of Su's dance team, Lin was reading their local paper and it had her picture and she was in the fight when the red lotus broke in. There's a reason they introduced her:)

[@andrewgautron4404]

I have been waiting so. Long. To get here so that now I can ask If bending is both a genetic trait and a spiritual one, evidenced by the fact that Bolin’s ability to bend lava isn’t unique to him Is combustionbending a rare genetic hybrid ability too, mixing the properties of firebending and airbending together simultaneously

[@andrewgautron4404]

As I said in this comment from book 1 ep 8: ‘as the show progresses I’m probably going to be returning to this subject and nerding out in your comments section lol’ So I’d said how much I love thinking about the pseudoscientific limitations of each element. I think it was book 2 chapter 1 where Roku’s explaining the avatar state to Aang. There was an avatar shown bending lava and there was a question as to if it was firebending or earthbending. @risee said: bending lava is a true Avatar flex. Firebenders can’t truly bend lava because it’s technically super hot liquid earth I replied: I’m not even sure any earthbender can bend earth when it’s liquefied like that. Cuz like, if bending is essentially a skill that a person has that inherently allows them to physically manipulate (bend) the structure of molecules in something, (water and earth) or excite them (fire, water to vapor), slow them down (water to ice) or guide them (air and fire) I think lava would just be too different and too difficult for an earthbender to grasp to be able to bend something whose physical AND chemical structure is so far removed from their inherent ability to manipulate them It’s truly something only the Avatar can do, since they possess the inherent ability to bend any and all molecules regardless of their physical and chemical limitations unlike other benders. I didn’t want to be anywhere remotely in the vicinity of spoiling that lavabending exists outside of the avatar, cuz that shit was the COOLEST reveal and I could NOT risk taking that from you all lol

[@andrewgautron4404]

Cuz look lol that forehead eye is CLEARLY on the Light chakra. The one that deals with insight, and is blocked by illusion. That point HAS to be significant in benders, as Aang, Korra, and Amon all used that specific area as a contact when taking and giving bending back. Though with Amon the trick he was using was purely physiological in nature. Those airbenders were all ABOUT that third eye enlightenment stuff. I’m pretty sure I read somewhere that every baby born at the air temples were born airbenders every time because of how spiritual their culture was. As to how this union may have happened to get airbending genes mixed into other populations gene pools, hey They can go all over the place. Probably didn’t happen often that a nomad got busy, but I’m sure its happened. And clearly hybrids are exceptionally rare, at least to our current knowledge. But… yeah. I think how it might work if we accept my bending hypotheses lol is they’re focusing on a single point, then is able to compress a large amount air there, and condenses several smaller pockets of air down their line of sight. They breathe, and instead of bending straight up fire, they’re able to superheat air remotely. First pocket of dense oxygen. It bursts, and then the next one detonates because the heat flying off the first one flies down the channel, hitting and superheating air, adding concussive force and that •buhbuhbUH• noise until the most dense concentration of air… combusts.

[@Gary_The_Man76]

Flight is not a difficult abily to get when you talk about mastering or power, Tenzin is more powerful than Zaheer, but a hard to get ability cause you need to have no love, no things holding your objectives, you must get the true freedom, not depending of people or objects to change anything on you, that's why just a few airbenders could do that and is threated as a legend, a myth
