[@KillerfrostJaylen]

100% kai

[@shadowldrago]

Katara is afraid that she's a monster. That being a Bloodbender is something that's inherently evil, and now, she's corrupted. But, she isn't. The representation of her rage and trauma DIDN'T drag her down to the depths. She is going to struggle with it, likely for a very long time, but, she won't become a monster like Hama was.

[@TimothyBarnes-sz6rm]

Bloodbending is kinda like Firebending. It depends on how you use it.

[@shadowldrago]

@@TimothyBarnes-sz6rm Basically. Bloodbending, like martial arts in general, is a tool that can be used for a myriad of purposes. It is no more evil than using any of the bending arts to potentially lethal effect.

[@jasonsmith6219]

@@shadowldrago Agreed, like honestly, bloodbending is the perfect art for someone like Aang who doesn't want to kill anyone. It can easily immobilize anyone with zero risk of death unlike other bending methods.

[@TimothyBarnes-sz6rm]

I wonder if in the next avatar series, their can show Bloodbending as a way of helping people. Like the police force using it To temporarily Take away Bending from criminals

[@SariaSchala]

@@TimothyBarnes-sz6rm There is a theory that Katara used bloodbending to restart Zuko’s heart after he took that lightning strike.

[@elistewart3435]

I think that even Katara’s evil side was like, “Please, just stop fighting,” at the moment before the flashback. As if it has ‘inherited’ her compassion.

[@Wolf-wh3qp]

I love the detail of Katara's "evil self" being red like the fire nation

[@leebulger7112]

You can also say that Evil Katara was red like blood too.

[@stefaniarusso]

​@@leebulger7112Yeah I know

[@dmanrod9479]

There was so much depths in the metaphors here. The fact that Katara had to kill a part of herself to win but that was what that part of herself seemed to want - it was blood chilling and so well written

[@csab8642]

I thought it was meant to be red for blood. Sense she relates bloodbending to evil

[@PersonalPizza]

Or red like when the moon spirit got hurt by Admiral Zhao, just like Katara was hurt by that fire nation soldier who took her mother.

[@shadowldrago]

This is very much NOT a villain song, but, it's Katara's fear. Fear of her own rage, fear of becoming just another killer. Fear that Bloodbending is inherently evil and that by using it, regardless of WHY, she, in turn, Is Evil. This feels like part of a story. And we see that conclusion in the episode where the confronts her mother's killer, and ends up Bloodbending the wrong guy, but spares him, and deliberately doesn't kill her mother's murderer. She doesn't forgive him. She's never going to forgive him. But she is not a monster. She is more than her trauma. And, even if out of sheer spite, seeing this man brought so low, she intends to rise and be BETTER.

[@andrewalker6050]

That is Katara's greatest strength, she has displayed the power of emotions and has showed us to be better people.

[@thepeeps5943]

Yeah I don’t get why people dislike Katara so much for her trauma on losing her mom like I get it can be annoying when she constantly brings up her mom but like that event really shaped her present self and her drive so I get it.

[@daring6983]

​@thepeeps5943 For me it's her utter lack of respect for Sokka even after he became worthy of it.

[@PyttStop]

Spite is a very good tool to surpass trauma when you reach the end of it you are soo diferent already that you don't even care about it anymore

[@melindadugger]

Yea yeah but at the end how does she not die and drown by her clone I wasn't really paying attention please help me oopsie

[@sarahserenityqueen117]

I think Katara is having visions of what could happen if she gave into the blood bending art that her rage and sorrow empowers.

[@jackbelinski2661]

If you think about it, what must have really deeply affected Katara wasn’t just simply mastering blood bending, but learning that such a dark, demonic skill actually existed within water bending. Her whole life she loved water bending and cursed fire bending, never knowing she was practically capable of much worse. I mean, it’s one thing to burn someone, but to tear their muscles & organs apart, fix them and tear apart them again, not to mention being able to make people hurt or kill others against their will?

[@franco-golpeador2435]

I mean, she had a slight grasp of bloodbending with the healing spells related to water, the thing is that she was too innocent to know it... yet (yeah, in TLAB there are not "spells", but I don't have other way to call them).

[@eternallylearning2811]

It would be interesting they found a way of healing with firebending as well

[@jackbelinski2661]

@@eternallylearning2811 Come to think of it, in terms of healing you could use fire to close cuts by searing them. It would hurt like hell, but it would be the quickest way to stop rapid blood loss. You could also use fire to sweat out - for instance - snake venom from one’s system.

[@eternallylearning2811]

@@jackbelinski2661 yeah

[@tiagocf1208]

​@@eternallylearning2811There was a firebending technic for spiritual healing in Korra. Altough it ended up being more of a diagnosis because the problem wasnt spiritual but rather physical poison. Still you can use firebnsing to health wounds to the soul since its basically energy bending. The thing is, the only way you are going to get an injure like that is by going to the spirit world and fighting a spirit or by pissing the hell out of a primordial guardian spirit that can cross to the real world and curse you in a way that isnt their domain(aka the mother of faces removing their face)

[@mayathew7607]

Kind of yes i thought of it more a split image between good and evil with the colour symbolism with blue and red

[@Cute_Waterfowl]

This song perfectly shows the duality of us all. Our anger our addictions our struggles. A war waging daily within us all. Fighting against ourselves in a never ending battle. The truth is both sides represent us as a whole. We can all heal from the pain that’s been done to us with time.

@@davidvaldezjr5546 Think of it this way, friend: A well written villain, no one would ever want to meet as a person. BUT a lot of people enjoy the effort and time put into creating a well written villain, because a poorly written one would do nothing to help shape the story as a whole, or balance out the hero! This is very similar. People often have one of their favorite scenes be one of the heros most dangerous or painful struggles; not because they enjoy someone being in danger or pain, but because they enjoy the effort gone into creating such a horrible scene, and all the care put into it so that we as the reader/watcher CARE what happens to these heros.

This

[@TobiasAdin]

This song perfectly showed Katara's inner turmoil. I don't think most people realise how awful bloodbending truly is. And for Katara, who's basically the embodiment of compassion, it must have been devastating to be forced to use it. This song does Katara justice in a way that the show didn't (as much as I love the show).

[@cshoppy19]

I had never even thought about how she could have thought about how she had saved her mother. I would love to see a villain song for Katara next.

[@mgr828]

The puppetmaster was the scariest & one of my favorites of S3 especially for Katara's arc! She finally found another Southern water tribe bender to bond with only to be betrayed as Hama lost her way fighting for freedom. This whole project is beautiful. All her rage, pain & trauma now being pushed to bloodbending. She won the battle but let all of it rise again in Southern Raiders. I agree if we had more time for her to absorb what happened, her new abilities and emotions that would be EPIC

[@dmanrod9479]

IDK why but this made me think of how Jet lost his humanity fighting the fire nation a lot like Hama did.

[@leatonjenkins6810]

That ending right there makes me think that the other side or Katara, her lust for power and revenge, taking over her and controlling Katara. If this becomes a series with the other three songs then I am here for this.

[@leebulger7112]

I think the same thing.

[@MrBookworm01]

An excellent song that perfectly fits with Katara's character. The way the video ends with Katara walking away with a tense look after seemingly putting her demons at bay is especially fitting, considering she'd later fight those same demons again once the opportunity to kill her mother's murderer presented itself to her.

[@angelbikey2907]

If ATLA gets a musical this would easily be katara’s song after learning bloodbending! It’s both scary and sad that her fear and rage self was beating her and being drowned by her own self was scary AF!😔😳 another absolutely stunning and beautiful masterpiece queen!👏🏼❤️

[@stefaniarusso]

I agree 😊

[@alanwake8937]

[@secretpeace-wp6xg]

The feeling I'm getting from this song is that she fears the new power she learned because of the damage it can do to someone. This is similar to what Aang had to battle with when it came to fire the difference is instead of burning people you could twist their limbs or cause their entire cardiovascular system to self destruct on itself. Towards the end she learns to accept herself and the new power.

[@ronglurak9892]

I have to admit that I always thought of Katara as one of the strongest members of the gaang. I myself have always placed her as just below Azula (or just above with bloodbending). The one thing that hides this is that Toph is so combative and that Zuko is much more at home in a fight.

Ok, this could represent the one hero npcs inner conflict with their inner darkness after the encounter with the blood bending witch in ATLA canon lore, though it’s all in their mind, just saying is all!?!? Also if anyone read the fan series “ distorted reality “ this could represent the dark alternate temporarily fighting their good alternate universe variant of themselves, also if you take that series into consideration as well…

I also wish they'd explored what Katara being able to bloodbend means for her mental and emotional state. That was a really good moment of darkness in the series.

This is definitely the closest description of katara's trauma and her refusal to master blood bending. As if blood bending were bad which later proves to be an issue as Korra had to learn about blood bending almost how katara did. Kya and others could have the potential but since they never practiced blood bending they would have no way to know unless they choose to try now. It's beautiful how sometimes we'll shut down certain things, skills... Because of different reasons and it ends up having interesting consequences. Watching katara interact with blood bending vs korra was beautiful.
