[@xXYannuschXx]

Just noticed something: 2:52 when Toph helped Korra get the mercury out of her body, she was using water bending motions; probably because mercury is liquid. Actually, there are alot of scenes where characters use bending styles, that arent "meant" for the element they bend. For instance: Katara fighting Hama, when she noticed that Hama would just move the water back at her, the slammed her hand against it and broke the water stream coming at her. Or when Aang learned to bend earth; he just shot a stream of air at the animal attacking Sokka, with a move that looked like earth bending (Toph even said, that he learned to stand his ground and can now earth bend). These subtle hints are what makes these shows great!

[@JamaicaZ160R1793010A]

Yes as metalbending is different from earthbending. I'm not sure what martial arts it's based on though.

[@tyer6496]

In Zuko vs Azula, Zuko uses an earthbendong move with fire. Eska and Desna also one used an earthbending move with ice.

[@markjosephbacho5652]

Also, Kya bends water like air

[@aleczavala5010]

Unalaq, Eska, Desna, and Tonraq all seem to “eartbend” with ice.

[@Jimbob1337]

When Katara fought Hama, traditional waterbending wouldn't cut it as it was redirect after redirect, with each pass only getting progressively stronger. Katara used a rigid earthbender stance to stop the redirecting, before using a similar move to knock her off her feet. Icebending being a solid is as close to earth as a waterbender can get, while metalbending is as close to water as an earthbender can get.

[@CameronAdamsify]

1:53 I read someone else say “this is how they see the world: Kuvira bent the liquid metal (likely mercury) as metal. It’s rigid, and unforgiving. Korra broke it like water (the element of change) because she understands the world is willing to change if it is properly guided”. Amazing stuff

[@ddchrw]

Seemed pretty liquid when Kuvira bent it into a stream at Korra, and her movements were much more fluid than typical earth bending. I don’t really see the rigidity in that. Korra stopped the mercury like Katara did with Hama, but surely the more water bender thing to do would be to simple redirect it rather than stop it first. Korra somehow shattered the metal by hitting Kuvira with it too, so that’s something. Probably those iron rich meteorites rather than liquid mercury.

[@yakone1379]

That definitely wasn't mercury, since they changed its state between solid and liquid through the fight. Edit: after taking a look again, I agree with the comment above me that those are definitely meteorites. They have the same look as those from season 3.

[@sia6045]

@omniscient xt the hell? No it doesn’t idiot

[@pemo2676]

@@yakone1379 the same way that waterbenders can turn water to ice with their bending, then other benders can change the state of their elements too - such as magma bending. why would it be different with mercury? (even if it wasnt mercury) plus, there aren't many metals that are liquid at lower temperatures (mercury being the only one which can be liquid naturally at room temp) but there are a few which would've stayed a liquid at body temperature

[@yakone1379]

@@pemo2676 First off, Mercury has a shiny, silvery appearance. The metal we saw in this fight was dark, like a dull gray or black, and even when shining in light it didn't look silvery. Mercury is poisonous. Why would Kuvira choose to use a poisonous metal as a component for her mech? And given that it stays liquid at room temperature, how would it stay as a solid when part of those control mechanisms? That metal was one of those meteorites from Zaofu. It has the same appearance, and makes the most sense. Su states to Korra that the meteorites have a special property making them easier to bend, thus easier to turn into a liquid like state. And we see Kuvira playing with those meteorites after conquering Zaofu, meaning she had access to them and was probably planning to use them.

[@anthonykostin5591]

@Elliepopcorn I've watched both and from my experience I enjoyed The Last Airbender more. I have watched the show atleast 5 times and it is amazing every single time. It has such a charm and everything about the show is perfect. I've also watched Korra and I must say it is also interesting, but different and not in a bad way. Overall, I just don't think Korra is as good for a few reasons, but hating on it is in my opinion ignorant.

[@samuelabbottchannel]

@Elliepopcorn Well I watched both during lockdown for the first time with my brother and we both really disliked LOK. It’s poorly written, filled with egregious and unapologetic retconning, it’s characters are static, boring and in some cases straight up unlikable and I don’t think it would get nearly as much recognition if it hadn’t been piggybacking off of ATLA. And IT IS IN NO WAY MORE MATURE THAN ATLA. Meelo bends his farts for fucks sake, God that’s embarrassing.

[@elijahbutcher9522]

@@samuelabbottchannel nothing was retconned and it honestly is more mature, Korra contemplates suicide, tarloq kills himself and Amon, Zaheer kills the earth queen on screen, ming hua dies via electrocution, ghazan commits suicide, p'lies head explodes, Korra is chained, given a least a gallon of mercury, the amount in question is said to be enough to kill a whale, the poison gives her severe hallucinations and literally almost kills her, she's stuck in a wheelchair for 6 months, and she battles ptsd and depression for the next 3yrs WITH residual traces of mercury within her system, and Korra and asami are the first same sex couple in animation as well.

[@samuelabbottchannel]

@@elijahbutcher9522 The established rules were retconned hard in the season 2 Beginnings episodes. Roku explicitly tells Aang that the power of the Avatar State comes from his last lives in ATLA and he makes not a single mention of Vaatu or Raava. He definitely knows about them because he tells Korra that she has to find them in her hallucination/dream thingy, so how do you explain that? The origins of bending have shifted from learning from nature like in ATLA. The fire-benders from the dragons, the earth-benders from the badger-moles etc. Now the Lion-turtle jut ‘gives’ people there bending powers to survive in the spirit wilds! Yeah that’s really cool, it means people don’t have to earn their bending at all like degenerate Avatar Wan who fucks everything up, murders serveral people and still just asks for his bending from the lion turtles. What a great role model. Keep in mind that in ATLA, the lion turtle tells Aang that ‘in the era before the Avatar we bent not the elements but the energy within ourselves’ but in the two Beginnings episodes people bend air and fire, not energy so there’s another problem. The ability to manipulate lightning was something very few people could do and took an immense amount of skill and concentration but now everyone can do it? Yeah things change in 70 years but why the established foundations of learning such a unique power? In addition to things changing in 70 years, the new futuristic setting just makes no sense to me. Technology doesn’t develop that quickly from what was effectively the fantasy equivalent of feudal Asia in ATLA. Yeah they had warships at the end but they’re all destroyed so how in 70 years are cars and eventually a stupid robot with a laser canon invented? But I suppose people will scrounge some explanation for that and that’s really personal preference. Now on to Korra being ‘more mature’ as you say. I would mostly disagree. A lot of Korra’s dark themes are just imposed by fans. It’s never explicitly said she was going to kill herself at the end of season one, people have supposed this and it makes it more depressing and adult but whether the writers really intended for this to be the perceived effect, you can’t ever say for sure. Now, surprise, I actually really like the mercury thing with Korra and her visions of herself or PTSD whatever you want to call it. I thought it was great character development and surprisingly smart. This level of writing I wish was used for the new ‘team avatar’ who were worst thing for me about the show for me. They are painfully boring and static to watch, they’re just so uninteresting besides from Korra, contrasting Aang’s team completely. About the other ‘dark’ happenings, I don’t really see how that makes it mature. It’s rather inelegant and in ATLA, the Orwellian Ba Sing Se, Azula’s mental breakdown, the genocide of the air nomads are all far more nuanced and effective ways of making a perceived ‘kid’s show’ more mature. Killing someone by electrocution or sucking the air out of someone are shocking I guess, but that tone isn’t maintained at all. I present to you again: ‘Meelo’s fartbending.’ Along with the really quite poor writing of Korra, it makes for quite an immature show imo. And Asami and Korra were ‘confirmed’ to be gay by the writers on theirTumblr after the show aired and there were basically no hints of it at all until S4. Even then you would have to look extremely hard to find them. Say what you want about it but nobody had to take to Reddit to write essays on why Aang and Katara was a thing. And no it’s not more nuanced and realistic and mature. I’m 21 and no relationship I’ve ever been in or seen has even remotely resembled Korrasami because they basically had no relationship in the first place.

[@AirbenderHawk]

Seeing Korra struggle with Kuvira at first in their first round is intriguing to see that even if the poison is fully gone from her system, she still is weakened tactically and physically, but in their second round, she gotten a lot better fighting her inside of her mech. That’s makes her so badass, improving so much in round 2 than round 1. Her season 4 look is super gorgeous, with her short hair and new outfit, that’s my all time favorite in my eyes. I imagine seeing her use metal bending like a certain mutant would, but that’ll be too dark to see in a kids show. The moment she picked up on the skill quickly gives me Jedi vibes, particularly Anakin and Luke, during their lightsaber/force ability training, they mastered the Jedi arts very quickly.

[@jhoanschavezdiaz3480]

Actually, I can see a difference between how she fought kuvira in the 1st round and how she fights after that. Her movements were too slow and predictable but when she rescues the new earth king she fights more proficiently, would be because in the first fight with kuvira the rest of the poison was recently removed? Or a plot convenience?

[@AirbenderHawk]

@@jhoanschavezdiaz3480 I think the proficiency has indeed improved on the second round in her mech is the ideal logic for sure :).

[@aakashdas1742]

Korra doesn't improve just like that.. even after removing the last remnant of mercury from her system, she was weakened because she couldn't access the spiritual power; she was still traumatized from her experience with Zaheer, and thus was slow and unsure of herself. Only after she broke through that barrier with Zaheer's help, did she finally regain her power.

For people wondering why she didn't learn metal bending since season 1 I think this is the reason. Her traditional teachers were to blame for that.

That's the reason probably. Tradition first before anything. Learn the basics first in order.

I love Toph in fact. But blaming Korra for doing the same thing. *(Which by the way was only in seasons 1 and 2 because of Korra's character growth)* is really dumb.

[@FallenOne669]

Yeah, some people hate the show for one reason; It's not Airbender.

[@BiG-JuPO1O1]

Or when Korra gets angry and frustrated: people hate her and call ungrateful selfish person. When Zuko gets angry and frustrated: Awww Zuko cute or I feel bad for Zuko. Not many people realize Korra is similar to Toph and Zuko. Toph became a rebel because her parents hardly allowed her to do things on her own. With Korra she was locked up in compound and couldn't make friends or see anyone but her teachers. She fought and trained every day, and was told she has the most important job to the world. Which is why she builds herself up as being the avatar is her identity. Later on she learn thats not the case. She slowly becomes a rebel, fighting against rules that was set for her. I think Katara sees that in Korra and allows her to be free from the White lotus. Both Korra and Zuko had to go on similar path to become better person and find their own identity. Another cool fact about Korra. She literally does what all past lives told Aang before facing Ozai.

Korra has a very unique mastery of bending. Her skills advanced faster than any Avatar before her, with the exception of airbending due to her bad habit of rushing everything, and she learned bending skills other Avatars had never even heard of.

[@lalisamanobanismyqueen7220]

I think the reason she struggled with air-bending and spiritually was not only because it was opposite to her personality but because air is the element of freedom and since she was 4 she never had freedom. No freedom of choice, no freedom in being a kid, no freedom to be Korra and nost just the Avatar. When Korra lost the ability to bend her other elements she thought that she is no longer the Avatar which lifted the heavy weight of her shoulder without her knowing and caused her to finally be able to bend air. Then cliff scene where she thought about d wording herself as she felt like a failed avatar and that if she died the next avatar would be able to bend all again. (the white lotus really f+cked up her childhood because a 17 year old girl thinking like this is not normal) But in the end couldn't do it made AANG appear because as he said when we are at the lowest point (Korra thinking of sui+de) we are open to the greatest change and it opened her to her spiritually.

When people can make water/ice blades to slice through metal, fire balls to burn down houses, giant rocks, and tornadoes, I think a broken lock is pretty low on the priority list. Actually, given how many benders there are, I find it kind of weird now how people in this universe aren't in a constant state of paranoia.

[@Bertitus]

@@davidhong1934 you forgot s1 of Korra?

[@UltraEpicVids]

​@@davidhong1934 Not really. It takes a skilled waterbender to generate enough power to break through a door, or they'd need a lot of water, so any water they carry around wont cut it. A firebender would most likely accidentally burn down the house. Earth bender might be able to throw some rocks at the door, but then again, a nonbender can do that too. Airbender might be literally able to blow the house down. Breaking the lock is the stealthiest and most unnoticeable way of breaking in.

[@RusyaidiDzulkifli]

[@shekinahbrownie5698]

Its crazy how strong Korra actually is. At just such a young age bending already fire, earth, and water, mastering the four elements isnt easy, and it takes years of practice and perfection as one firebender said. Her prowess and style in fighting, as well as being to learn and deflect, making strong impacts, reading her surroundings and using their defence as offense shows how much development in her skills and character throughout the series. And I have always admired that. She's strong, fast, agile, fierce and determined and if anything a very quick learner. AND the first metal bending avatar. I also find Korra and Aang very similar to eachother. Both always determined. Both have great power. And both similar emotionally. And Korra learned alot already of her spiritual side at a young age. I have always loved how the producers and writers direct her story, not only through the way they fight but their personality eventually developing that makes it a great watch. I really wish there was another season of Legend of Korra! (also very bad at dating)
