They thought they were doing what was best for the world. (Not excusing their actions of course!)

Aang- learned how to fight battles his way which restored the peace if he destroyed, instead of taking powers, someone was bond to want a revenge Korra - learned to be more observing and smarter but her fighting spirit made her more determined, which helped her learn fast skill she needed in order to win against enemy and crisis! If she wasn't a fighter she couldn't be a defender when actions needed to be taken,the diplomatic skills helped her take responsibility for her actions and how they affect the others! So both things they had in them and things they learned helped them shape in a way to make the best decisions by learning new things and still embrace their innate qualities!

[@carikeanker5401]

About Korra "just using" the airbending movements - earlier in the episode, Tenzin says that the teachings will sink in even if it doesn't feel like it and that one day it will just "click". That's what happened during the match, it clicked and Korra did it instinctually 🙂

[@Arkayjiya]

There's also the description of what the device is about which tells us that it's exactly what she needs to handle the attacks. She tries her way, upfront, it doesn't work so she switches to something that allows her to handle attacks from all direction which is exactly what the device is about. The click part is just the cherry on top of the foreshadowing cake. I like that they foreshadow but don't feel the need to add a flashback. I feel like it's mush clearer and better than another moment in the same series that I don't quite like as much.

I mean it’s not entirely korras fault, as she has been trapped all her life, while aang could adventure across the world. He had the opportunity to find teachers that he was spiritually connected with as shown when he try to force a bending master they never stayed very long, But korra has just been given them or had to as they are they only one. So korra needed to be shown more modern styles

[@aoi_nagara]

First of all U know that Korra stayed all her life in the southern water tribe until age 17 bcz she could have been in danger of the red lotus (although the red lotus was imprisoned)and in season 3 Tenzin told to Korra that shortly after knowing that Korra was the avatar the red lotus had tried to kidnap but failed and this is why they never wanted Korra to disappear and forced her to stay until age 17.

[@MrAstrothousand98]

@@aoi_nagara spoilers my dude.... Also yes she was imprisoned for safety nevertheless that altered her attitude. Which is why she's more rebellious and headstrong.

Yh I know that but aang had ppl trying to kill him all the time, I was just saying that aang has more opportunity to connect with ppl, so that’s why korra is a bit out of touch at first .but that’s why I love both their growth as they are sooo different.

[@alexlannister950]

Fun Fact: For The Last Airbender they brought an Kung Fu master to teach the animators the 4 fight styles that inspired the 4elements. And for The Legend of Korra they brought a MMA fight to adapt those style in a more competitive "sport" way. Pro Bendings is kinda the MMA of Avatar World.

[@2009Patches]

Yeah... I wish they hadn't reduced artistic martial arts style down into every element just does a 1-2 punch though..

[@silvereyes242]

They haven’t, the benders still clearly keep their respective styles. Look at how Bolin moves with earth bending, the low horse stances and firm footing, or Unalaq and the flow and grace of his water bending. None of that is lost at all.

[@bscan4215]

@@2009Patches They haven't reduced it at all. They have just adjusted it to a more conventional form for this time period. The main style of the bending is still very much there.

Though they're definitely true to the roots of each original technique. Sidenote: each main character in ATLA incorporated styles from other cultures into their techniques for bending.

[@jennabreland5261]

So 2 things: 1 She saw Mako dodging last match, and kinda mimicked that when she got cornered 2 Korra legitimately didnt realize the value of evasion; in her mind, why dodge when you stand your ground/ fight harder? But she knew she was about to go over. In a real(er) fight, she would take the hit and get up again. But in probending with the rules, evading was the only way to win Maybe spoiler She's also never been free, it's so messed up and i feel like its kind of overlooked. At least Aang had a few years as a kid before he found out about Avatar duties. Korra has literally been restricted and controlled(maybe sheltered is the better word) by the people closest to her. How is the Avatar supposed to bring balance she's never had or protect a world she doesn't understand/ has never been exposed to?

[@amaelboisson5439]

Being an Avatar doesn't mean being better at bending, for example Toph and Katara are stronger than Aang, plus in pro-bending, it's complete different styles of bending for water earth and fire, so Korra isn't used to it. And when Korra starts to dodge, it was just her instinct, it was the worst moment so her lower instinct came on the surface. And Tenzin raised his kids and had to face a 17y old teen, it's way different ^^

[@0t4ku426]

Add into the fact that she's playing a regulated sport, with actual rules, instead of just fighting. It's like the difference between football and a straight up brawl; throw the meanest toughest fighter onto the football field, and he'll get so many fouls. Rules in sports also force more specialization, much how an MMA fighter would be ill suited to a boxing only match with little practice.

[@PrinceIMC]

The thing about Bolin being a light on his feet earth bender is that his brother Mako is a fire bender. They’ve both got aspects of both styles within them. Mako is probably more stubborn and unyielding than most fire benders because he’s got some earth bending ancestors too. Bolin’s style might be reminiscent of Iroh learning from water benders how to redirect lightning.

[@alixdesnor9037]

It cool that Mako and Bolin used both of their heritage to their advantages. I definitely think he more unyielding compared to other fire benders.

[@bluebird8221]

That, plus the fact that he is a pro bending player. This sport is more focused on avoiding attacks and fast hit, so the more traditional earth bending where you stay put, counter your opponent move and before attacking is not as effective in this circumstances.

[@samminicksm]

Like Tenzin said, Korra only responds to force. She only got it when she HAD to. If she didn’t figure out the air bending form right then, she wouldn’t have won the match and would have cost Mako and Bolin their shot at the tournament.

[@CrowHousePress]

"cost"

[@RhyperiorRanger]

“Is she swimming or is this just bending?” Yes

[@jonathanjohnson6727]

I think Korra learns when she's given freedom to grow on her own(eventually learning how to incorporate techniques from those who teach her directly or indirectly). Trial by fire type; similar to early Zuko. Also certain aspects to her and her understanding is rooted from an isolated and sheltered upbringing; akin to Azula in everyday social settings and relentless combat training.

[@moneylover318]

I think for her she will learns better when it comes to fighting because she is a Warrior

[@corystanish]

They had all the rules for Pro Bending in a PDF on the Legend of Korra website back when the show was new. There's also a Pro Bending Arena board game now! Some notable rules: -Waterbenders can only use liquid water, no ice or steam. -Waterbenders and firebenders can't just blast continuous streams of water or fire; maximum of 1 second for sustained blasts. -Intentional headshots are not legal for fire or earth; water is allowed. -Earthbenders can only use the clay discs from inside the zone they currently occupy.

[@theoneitself]

The more you learn! AWESOME !

[@Twinkie0120]

Tenzin said earlier in the episode that "the teachings and forms will just kick in" and the pro bending helped too. Korra learned rigid structured classical forms of bending. But Airnis the element of freedom; she needed to be "freed" of the rigid teachings. Bolin instructs her to be "light on her feet" instead of so grounded. Light on your feet, like an airbender.

[@nov199128]

Korra is a kinesthetic learner meaning that she learns by physically doing. Tenzin even said that she would begin to instinctively pick things up. Tenzin had been instilling muscle memory throughout the course of her training.

[@chillasslofi]

The airbending movement she pulled off at the end was lined up from before. Mako was doing the same thing when he tired his opponents out in the first match Korra watched. He dodged the attacks, to wear them out. Korra was doing the airbending maneuvers, but was also just replicating what Mako did in that match. She was learning, but just not in the traditional meditative airbending way. If that makes sense.

In the fist episode, it was made abundantly clear that Korra was constantly watched and never left alone. There was always a white lotus within frame when she asked to leave the fortress to hang out with Naga. She was basically exiled to live in a fortress. If Air is the element of freedom then what freedom did she have to be able to connect air with. The writers wrote her to be a bending prodigy and she grew up only focusing on mastering all elements. She's a hardworker and excelled at every level of bending and martial art. Sooo her picking up those airbending moves is actually pretty on par for the character development. She's the absolute opposite of Aang. Aand struggled to pick up bending and martial arts beyond air bending. So I think its good to keep in mind on who Korra is and what her development might be.

the leaf thing happened mostly out of instinct. if you rewatch as the match goes on she does more and more fluid dodging and less blocks. its very vey cool to see. initially shes blocking attacks with water and offensively fighting, but as the match goes on she dodges more and turns and spins more. then in the final round she goes all in on the fluidity out of instinct. as a natural progression. its really cool

Korra follows the anime MC troupe where they "fine tune" their moves in the midst of battle. They may have been learning it beforehand, but it finally clicks in the heat of battle. It's like her personality isn't able to process the technique unless she's under pressure if that makes sense

I'm not entirely sure where I heard this from, but apparently Tenzin named his sky bison after his parents love.

With pro-bending like Bolín said you have to stay light on your toes and wait to strike. In some ways this is like air bending, staying light and with lots of movement. And if you remember that’s why Aang also had a lot of problems with earth bending, besides it being his natural opposite. He had to learn to stand his ground, while Korra had to do the opposite. She needed to learn how to stay light on her feet and wait to strike. That’s why I think pro-bending was a good teacher and much needed for her.

[@RvrStyxRasputin]

In regards to her dipping into airbending style for the final round, I think it's best explained like this. We are rushed through what we see of her airbending training for tv time constraint purposes, so we know at least she knows what the style look, like, but hasnt been able to replicate it on Air Temple Island. But her driving capability is her fighting spirit, and it is that fighting spirit that comes alive in pro-bending in a way that it just wasn't whilst training with Tenzin.

Korra’s personality is very similar to a earthbender, ( headstrong, self sufficient in a survival stance, adaptive) even though she is a waterbender. That’s why air is so hard for her.

When red panda Mei Mei gave birth to her cub in June, the zoo says keepers handed naming honors over to the Oregon Zoo Foundation, which raffled off a chance to help “dub the cub.” RELATED| Oregon Zoo's red panda cub needs a name, and you could help!

That "Spiderman!" had me howling.

With regards to why Korra started using her air bending skills, I always felt like it was because it was extremely familiar to her because of all her past lives that had learnt those moves, especially her last life as aang, where these moves were literally instinctual to him!! I really really enjoyed that detail 😭😭

[@babybear47]

Every time I watch this video I'm just like lol Kenny: there's no air benders cuz no air I'm just like.... No air, how are they breathing lol but it's funny so I shared!

[@TheReacts122]

The chaotic energy at the beginning of the vid😂😂

[@CodyTaylor115]

As far as the modern bending goes alot of comes from living in a city and having confined spaces. Especially for earth bending which could cause the most destruction in that environment. And Bolins light on your feet style is best suited for an environment where you cant just throw up big walls to defend a position and stand your ground. They only have the discs they need to be more mobile to make up for the lost of their defensive capabilities

If you're done with LOK, can you react to The Dragon Prince? It's an amazing show like ATLA, the voice actor of Sokka is in here and one of the creator of ATLA created this show.

[@2009Patches]

dragon prince is super good. Feels less spiritual than avatar cause it's even kid-ier but it's just so fun.

[@strawberrylemonade8799]

I second this!

[@antsletjuka6304]

3:22 nice job, Kenny, for noting that. To me, Korra was like a slightly-kinder version of Azula, she was all about imposing her ideals onto, and frequently against, others up until mid-season 4, also her "who's side R U on?" was a reincarnation of "they would've all betrayed me ... just like May and Ty Lee"

The more fighting part in the last Airbender was also mostly because there was a war going on

Adapting is like one of the airbenders philosophy so it makes sense that he accepts some change

[@pinasupernova5229]

Aang was teached and raised like any other airbender kid, playing with the other air kids, meaning he was a regular airbender and therefore Earth bending was the more difficult. Korra hasn't been treated like a regular waterbending kid, since she was 4, the white lotus has been watching her every move, overprotecting her and restricting her ever since (in fear of a red lotus attack), making her rebel and stand her ground more, making her into an earthbender type personality instead of a regular waterbender kid like Katara and Sokka. Making her have more problems with Air

[@sarahcatlove3646]

Is no one going to talk about how he said Zuko was break dancing. 🤣🤣🤣

[@AndrewKendall71]

The Gaang's kids are all an interesting study in relationships with who they came from - how they're similar, how they differ and why. I think you'll have a lot to reflect on as you get further into it.

[@itsturniptime3699]

I find it interesting how Bolin and Toph have very different bending styles despite both being Earth Benders. Toph was all about standing her ground, being an unstoppable force or immovable object. Bolin prefers to be light on his toes, focusing on dodging and smaller pot shots. It makes sense considering Bolin is on a sports team, but it’s interesting to notice.

[@TrinityJoy]

The falling into Airbender techniques always seemed like a reflex to me. She never connected with previous avatars but the knowledge is still there and it just flowed through as all she thought was dodge Also Toph while being grounded was a much more fluid bender then other earth benders

[@PoseidonWrath]

that lack of spirituality within korra, bending, and the people as a whole will be an important factor in the entire show

[@neemakimaku3194]

omg they have no idea what season 3 will do to them after they watch it omg it was my favorite i just love that they have no idea what's happening love your vids

[@user-ou5zk4gf9x]

Kenny got it right!! She is a fire bender-type although she is from the water tribe and u might notice it in the upcomin' episodes...

[@gayninja6567]

Aang couldn't have taught his grandkids airbending since he died before any of them were born. And it wouldn't make sense since korra is older than all of the airbender kids, so that means aang died like 6/7 years before the oldest (jinora) was born, since korra is 17 and jinora is 10/11

[@Krytos911]

Bolin is easily my favourite character over the course of Korra, his latter season arcs are really good and he's just so much fun! You're also spot on with Tenzin's voice actor! I think I added a few other famous voice actors that are in Korra so far: Lance Henriksen played the goggled villian at the end of the last episode (famous for playing Bishop in Aliens, one of the detectives in Terminator 1) and Mindy Sterling plays Lin Beifong (Frau from Austin Powers among so many other roles)

[@smirtel3992]

its so nice to see you guys react and being so positive and nice about legend of korra. thank u😇

[@Bacontats]

@23:22 Pro-Bending is a contemporary style based off of classical technique. It's the difference between classical music and Katy Perry. Still music, but one is way more modern, uses classical technique, but makes super different results. Korra never learned how to pro-bend. She learned from the White Lotus, Katara, etc. She has the classical down, she's now learning the modern style as well.
