[@calvinsmith9070]

I gotchu. Essentially Korra is in almost every way Aangs opposite at the start of the show. She's brash, hot headed and is far more willing to resort to violence. Despite being born a water bender she has the tenacity of a fire bender. But over the course of the show she's beaten and humbled by the world around her. Her arc is learning that even if she lives in a world that doesn't want her they will always need her. She grows up a lot over the course of the show, from a sheltered headstrong girl to a calm mature woman. While Legend of Korra does make a lot of mistakes (season 2) she wasn't one of them.

[@daboi8734]

@TheTribalOne Well to be fair Korra was at her strongest in the first 2 seasons since she still had her past lives (Death Battle uses characters at their peak) plus its a lot easier to create a reason for them to fight. But i do agree with you overall.

[@flaremawile726]

@TheTribalOne Yeah, it's just anoying that people hate korra for some Bullsh*t

[@user-kq5ci7ol8o]

I find it funny/refreshing to find Korra fans saying season 2 is as bad as it is, I tried getting into Korra a while ago, and season 2 felt like I was getting punished for doing so, so whenever I heard Korra purists tell me I just don't understand season 2, or are actively looking for the negatives, and junk, it made me feel more and more like joining the "Korra is shit" side, although even if I do get into Korra I still don't think I'll be able to join the "Korra is better written than Zuko" crowd, season 1 and 2 just didn't beat her hard enough for being brash, as even season 1 of avatar beat Zuko for his beliefs and attitudes

[@cirnosnumberfan6449]

@@user-kq5ci7ol8o Season 2 it's the weakest of the Seasons but it's not entirely that bad, there's still some enjoyment to be had. Also comparing Korra to Zuko isn't really a fair comparison, they're both their own things with their own characters and different arcs.

[@user-kq5ci7ol8o]

@@cirnosnumberfan6449 Really? All I hear is that out of any avatar character Zuko is the closest to Korra due to both of them being hot headed jackasses at the start, starting out with the wrong idea/mindset (Zukos is admittedly more extreme due to him wanting to help out fire bending Hitler), and needing to learn through their mentors (Which both constantly disappoint), trial, error, and the world constantly beating them over the head due to their failures to change, and coming out a better person, I mean they sound the closest on paper (Which I found odd cause I found Zuko to be the best character of Avatar, and I couldn't stand Korra, so seeing his formula being changed a bit and all the sudden I don't like them as much anymore, if at all, caused to believe he was lighting in a bottle, or something, then again like I said, I sort of dropped Korra, and only came back in for a few episodes now and then, and then left again, so I guess this would be like dropping Zuko after he backstabs Iroh, and deciding "Yeah he sucks", so my opinion really doesn't have much ground to stand on)

[@davidogundipe808]

I like how death battle were trying their hardest to give Korra a win situation.

[@lynxfresh5214]

Meanwhile DB states Storm had several insta-win conditions. Keep in mind Storm was written at a time where the speed of thought > light-speed in Marvel comics and Storm can active her powers with "less than a conscious thought" (I know it makes zero sense but that's comic-book logic for ya). Similar to Flash Vs Quicksilver, this is another DB where one character gets killed dozens of times over before they can even think let alone realise they're already dead... :/

I mean Quicksilver's top speed is somewhere around 9.151 MPH (several sources cite this number, I thought it was clocked as much higher). Which is impressive... until you look at Flash who can literally run so fast he can travel through time. It's like putting a snail up against a NASCAR racer... and wondering which one might win. So yeah I'd easily call it the biggest stomp. This is the 2nd biggest stomp because as soon as it was announced we all knew who would win. The fact that Storm got so bodied in the fight was mind boggling to me. I assume it was to as Nemesis said "To make it look fair" despite the fact we all knew it was anything but.

[@mariojordan9543]

[@atomicrevolution1]

Hi! Korra fan here. I understand that Korra gets a lot of hate, but I over all enjoyed her series. They wrote her to contrast Aang. Aang was a human learning to become the Avatar, Korra was an Avatar learning to be human. Yes, she postures and is arrogant in the beginning of the series: as she enters a society she's actually very unfamiliar with and tries to assert herself in a position of leadership that she hadn't earned. She thinks that because she is the Avatar, everyone will just respect and listen to her. That is a lesson she unlearns throughout the series as she attempts to figure out her place in the world. She carries herself with bravado when she's in public, but struggles with her confidence when she's alone. She wants to prove herself very badly, but always falls short. I think that makes her relatable: she cares deeply about Republic City and is willing to push herself, but she isn't the whole and complete Avatar she believes herself to be. She is also naive, as she just believes that good and evil are evident: overlooking the evil under her nose, because it's more gray than she expected. I think she's way more complicated than people give her credit for.

[@knightshade2654]

While she did very much annoy me in the first and most of the second seasons, I did grow to like her as time went on. Seeing her deal with the trauma from the season 3 finale was very well done, in my opinion.

[@battlelon133]

@@knightshade2654 I don't personally see Korra's PTSD and the whole Season 3 Finale's effect on her as particularly well done (It felt a little hamfisted in my eye. Missed a lot of the nuance I felt), I do like specifically the effect of losing so much of her ability does to her. Korra struggles a lot with the idea she isn't a demi-god that can just punch things into being good and that effects her character much more in my eye than the PTSD. Basically, I prefer the fallout of the PTSD to the actual PTSD representation. Her going to Zahir for counselling is and always will be weird.

[@battlelon133]

love this breakdown though. I tried to give my unique perspective elsewhere but your hits a note mine couldn't. Especially the idea of her learning to be Human. Cause that's really what it is. It's both her greatest written weakness and her greatest written flaw. It's written so well at times that I the viewer want to sock her in the chin. By the end of it though, I was happy to see who'd she had become.

[@knightshade2654]

@@battlelon133 Oh, I agree with her going to Zahir. What I will always be struck by is seeing the hot-headed character I despised for nearly two full seasons be both mentally and physically broken, confined to a wheelchair.

Same, and it doesn’t help that the episode barely has any of edward’s character. The most in character thing about Edward in this fight is him getting insulted by being called little. That’s literally it, but it wasn’t even directed at him so, that’s also still out of character. I don’t recall that ever happening in the show cause when the “little” joke is always thrown at him, it’s always directly at him, he has ears, he knows who calls him little or not, and he doesn’t literally fight to the death over being called little.

[@lifeofentropy]

To be fair at least half of the eps of fmab include at least one short joke and its brought up nearly everytime ed meets a new person. They only really stop near the back half of the show when the themes get deeper and the comedy takes a back seat the the story.

So here's my interpretation of Korra's character. The main difference between Korra and Aang is that Aang was raised as a monk and eventually was told he was the Avatar while Korra was told from a very young age that she was the Avatar and was trained to use her powers. Korra always wanted to be the hero she was told she would be but while having the power to do so she didn't have the mind she needed as she had more focus put on her training than diplomacy. Korra's brash nature led to her immediately calling out Amon (the biggest threat she saw) and trying to solve the problem by defeating him, only to be beaten easily and only spared so Amon's movement could grow. Korra's mistakes give her PTSD that she has to work to overcome while having to accept that her position of Avatar is of a diplomat first and a protector second.

[@lifeofentropy]

She wasnt told she was the avatar, she was probably told about the avatar and tried to bend the other elements learning that she was the avatar in the process. Remember then the white lotus came to assess her and she busted through the wall yelling that she's the avatar.

[@King-ze2kt]

@@lifeofentropy yes but still she learned it younger than Aang did

[@lifeofentropy]

@@King-ze2kt because he never tried. It took him 10 seconds to surpass katara the first time he tried water bending. After just a day of practice jong jong said aang was the most powerful firebender he had ever taught. He was the youngest airbender to become a master and get his tattoos. Aang at the end of his series has at the most a few months of training with the elements other than air. Korra starts her arc with 15 years of training. Thats the difference in talent we are looking at. Korra is good but shes no Aang.

Definitely the best Avatar episode we've had yet, and even then, it's just a 7/10.

Hell the only one who’s in character in that episode is Aang until he goes avatar state by literally murdering Edward and following up with the terrible line “You left me no choice” characterization is extremely important in a vs animation, otherwise why even do the fight to begin with?

As someone who wouldn't recommend Korra, I never did like her but when sitting on it for a while she not bad. Atleast, eventually. This Korra is probably most in-line with season one and early season 2 when the love-triangle was sort of ruining the inter-character story. Korra is arrogant and effectively the definition of bravado. She was coddled most of her life and so it becomes a frustrating situation of watching her find her limits, which does take time. Most fans of Korra say Season 3 is the best and while I don't agree I do think it does the most for Korra's more negative traits. It's the first season where She hits her limits hard and her action while similarly not called out like the previous season, this time actually result in dire consequences that nearly get many people and herself killed. The show doesn't shy away from that idea either. Season 4 Korra is what really defines the best of Avatar Korra. She is taken from being the strongest Avatar (maybe 3rd at least) to easily one of the weakest physically. This takes all the wind out of her sails and finally we get that introspection of "does this world need an avatar?" that the other 3 seasons tried to highlight. Korra is rocked to her core and it's here where we see the type of Avatar Korra truly is. Korra goes from easily her worst enemy and a danger to those around her to acting only when she needs too. That defines Korra's growth. Korra goes into a world believing she is free to control it as she wishes. She's the Avatar and that's what Aang did, why not her? The World is a glorified playground. Then by season 4 she realizes that she doesn't control the world, she protects it. This simple change in perspective is what takes Korra from a borderline Mary sue of insufferable purportions to a respectable Avatar. I wish there was more. I especially wish the comics that retcon most of her personality didn't exist either. C'est la vie. What I recommend. To have a perfect idea of early Korra. Literally just watch her say "I'm the Avatar, you gotta deal with it". Which really kinda says everything you need to know about her. Then look at the bridge scene from the beginning of Season 3. Literally the single best Avatar Korra moment.

As a massive Korra fan i didn't really like her analysis I liked the start but they focus less on her story or character development and more on the versus stuff (pretty ironic considering the matchup) hell, they don't even mention how the villains affected her and played a crucial role in her character development and only mentioned them as feats. Episodes like Dio vs Alucard and Batman vs Iron man did such an amazing job in explaining their story and building up to their strongest feats and i wish the same could've been said for this episode. The editing of Storm's analysis isn't even that good compared to previous comic and manga episodes. But the fight is pretty good, easily the best of the avatar episodes but Storm does get bodied throughout the fight and sometimes the sprites look a bit weird on the 3D background. But I like the choreography, the scene with Storm's claustrophobia is amazing and the death is pretty solid. Its a 7 out of 10 for me but it is kinda disappointing considering the previous sprite fights have been god tier this part of the season but i have high hopes for Madara vs Aizen.

[@markalexander5707]

Ever since it came out, Aang vs Ed has been my absolute most hated episode. I adore FMA, and Aang is pretty cool, but neither got the love they very much deserve. My immediate distaste is how of all opponents, they chose Ed to fight Aang. This was doomed from the start, since Ed is essentially just a fantastic earthbender. He only manipulates the earth. Yes, he can be creative with it, but it's just earth. I immediately thought of two much better matchups for him as the next time came out: Toph and Terra. They both use the earth in unique ways and can hold their own against strong people with other powers. So the entire time, I knew Aang was going to win, but the absolute character assassination really just rubbed salt in a worsening wound. I have always hated this fight, but seeing people saying it's an average one really sits sour with me. It doesn't help that FMA is one of the unluckiest series in battle history. Ed's OMM fight was alright, but again, he lost. Then Mustang vs Zuko in DBX felt like it was just there to apologize to the Zuko fanboys after Zuko vs Todoroki. Zuko is easily the most popular ATLA character, and Roy was just a victim of popularity. I want retribution and a good fight for FMA (Same with Soul Calibur), but I fear that anything more is just going to dig the series a deeper grave. I highly recommend FMAB to anyone who hasn't seen it. It's a great story that has always stuck with me personally. It just hurts that most people only know it for the assassinated Edward Elric.

Yes he can be a hot head but he’s still a pacifist, and doesn’t kill someone over that.

I don't usually judge the analysis segments of Death Battle by how funny they are because we can't tell other people what they find funny. Like you didn't know Korra, I didn't know Toph, however I know people who are smarter than me who can provide me with info on what she is capable of. There is more in the analysis segment that they got wrong about her, "she eventually mastered sand bending and mud bending" no she didn't. The most that she did with her sand bending powers was make a fancy sand castle, turn sand into earth to give herself a better foothold when trying to stop the library from collapsing (and that was done out of desperation because she had to save the library while under attack, she was being pushed to her limit) and redirect small sand blasts away form herself. "She held her own against a new avatar" no, Korra was poisoned when she fought Toph, she wasn't fighting at her fullest and couldn't even activate the avatar state. "She fought King Boomie to a standstill" no she didn't, Toph was about to fight him but before they could continue Zuko and five others guys stopped them. Notice how in the panel that DB neglected to show only Zuko is restraining Toph while it take the other five guys to restrain Boomie which would imply that that he was more powerful than Toph. "She defeated an entire army almost singlehandedly" no she didn't, in the scene they are referring to there are three guys and Azula and Aaang did most of the fighting. "She can sense anyone on the world with her seismic sense" yes and no, she can sense anyone anywhere but only if she stays in the swamp, as soon as she had to leave the swamp she resorts to her traditional seismic sense which we see isn't as powerful. Also applying old Toph from LOK to her stats shouldn't have been done at all because that would lead to a ridiculous amount of assumptions. They even get basic facts about Toph's history wrong by saying she won earth rumble 4, no she won earth rumble 6 and the really embarrassing thing is that they got that detail right on the written part of the stats page (in roman numerals VI) but the dialog for the hosts still refer to it as earth rumble 4. Even when they sound like they are being smart, they are completely wrong. They say that they got the info of Toph being able to feel the earth even if it isn't connected to the ground from the Avatar the Last Airbender book 2 DVD behind the scenes special feature, but if you actually check that special features on that DVD, no such feature exists. The thing that this subtitle comes from is actually a rerelease of Avatar the Last Airbender called Avatar Extras. It was a pretty dumb rerelease because these subtitles are a permanent part of this series, there's no way to turn them off. BTW these subtitles are pretty inconsistent in Avatar Extras like how there is one that says Toph can't bend sand when we know that isn't true, if it said that she couldn't bend sand expertly then it would be correct. The analysis segment for Toph is bad because of the amount of stuff they get wrong, the one for Aaang is bad because it is boring and uninteresting, I consider them both just as bad but for different reasons.

Korra is a character that had been put the expectation of being basically an Aang 2.0, however, she was practically the opposite of Aang, in Book one, Korra was at first an arrogant b*tch, but as the series went on, she matured and even was traumatized for almost dying at the end of Book 3, and Book 4, she had to regain the confidence she had lost, but putting all of her experience in the series in good use, and in the end, she became a respected avatar, even by those that were close to Aang when He was alive, it bothers me that basically Korra is hated because she's not Aang, and that's the point, She's diferent from him, and she had her own struggles. while Aang had to struggle to use other elements and refusin to use fire bending at first, trusting Zuko, and whenever or not murdering a genocide fire lord and not betray his morals, Korra had to struggle with some terrorist that were againts Bending, a totally non-villain uncle, almost dying in the hands of the red Lotus (A group that wanted to murder her in her avatar state, thus permanently ending the avatar cicle), and a ally that went crazy of power and almost destroyed everything at the end of Book 4. if that doesn't tell someone that Korra is a character, and not just "MARY SUE" acording to some fanboys obsesed of the last airbender (no ofense to those that love the last airbender BTW), I don't know what does. and Yes, I love Korra, even thoug Aang is one of my favorite characters, but to me Korra had a better character development.

[@_M_42]

I agree, Korra's stuff in the animation was amazing but Storm just kinda sat there tanked Korra's stuff and barely did anything. I'd give it a 6/10 which would have been higher if Storm actually did stuff.

[@TinkatonOCorviknightBodies]

I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again- as a Korra fan, this felt patronizing. Giving us a bunch of calced Korra feats, while lowballing Storm and not even needing to use her best ones, having Korra dominate the fight only to get oneshot in a violent way that doesn’t fit her show, once again pulling the “close fight” bullshit by saying it was straightforward - even though it completely was and Korra had literally no advantages over Storm- it’s as if they thought wanking Korra like this would sate us, essentially saying “look how well she’s doing, she’s putting up such a good fight!” NO. What the hell does puffing her up do for us when the moment the fight is announced, everyone-even Korra fans- see that Korra will get absolutely curb-stomped! It doesn’t make me feel better that you’re doing this, it feels like you’re mocking the character! Evidently, someone from the research team has stated that they didn’t want to do Korra vs Rey to avoid turning the video into a toxic pit of haters of both sequel series. They want to “respect” Korra and Rey, not draw negativity to them. Well, thanks a lot, instead of a close fight Korra fans could respect, you fed her to an OP Marvel hero and had literally nothing going for her. I’m so happy you “respected” her by blowing her fucking brains out. And as Nemesis said, you didn’t even go into her character in-depth, just threw a bunch of calcs at us, so you didn’t even get that right. What’s worse is that the video’s comment section doesn’t even seem remotely filled with Korra hate. I’ve been seeing more negativity about it being a mismatch than i have anything to do with Korra specifically. I’ve even seen a few Korra haters essentially saying she deserved better. If I didn’t know any better, I’d think this was a spite fight being disguised as a “legitimate” matchup. Finally, their attitudes about this episode- in the DB cast before the fight, and in the one just released, they talk about how this fight was one they wanted to do, but weren’t confident in animating elemental attacks. They gush about how cool it looks and how “sometimes a playground kid mentality is alright”- not here. I want a well-written fight that I can actually debate on. It doesn’t matter how well it’s animated if it’s poorly paced and terribly predictable. Worst fight they’ve ever done, to me personally.

[@icysand3962]

So, cutting in with the stats too soon in the analysis. The three you mention (Goku Black, Korra, and Steven Universe) are all in the loser's analysis? Do you think they're maybe jumping in with a really big stat right off the bat to make the character seem more hyped? Since all three fights ended up kinda unbalanced statwise too.

[@mas8705]

I guess in a way, the good sum of Avatar fights have left a lot to be desired (at least the ones shown since Zuko was covered already, and even then that was still not as good). Never had an issue with Toph winning, but the overall execution of the fight alongside with the end analysis needed to be better than just “see sees earth even when off the ground.” That would be like saying you can dodge the bullet if you see the shot (but something’s wrong with you if you still got shot). If anything, I was expecting something like “because Toph could be able to read someone’s heartbeat with earth bending, she would be able to know where Gaara was at all times, even if he were to make clones.” What would have been a neat explanation. But overall, just poor. And the Aang fight is a total agreement too. We’ve seen “accidental kills” in Death Battle before and we could have seen another here either by Aang not holding back by mistake or Edward accidentally axing himself off like a misfire which leads to him getting impaled or something. And for the Korra fight… it was ok, but Storm was in a league of her own. If Flash vs Quicksilver wasn’t a fight, many would argue this was the most obvious one sided fight of all time.

[@aerostrafe1075]

I think my biggest issue for Gaara Vs Toph is the fact that the analysis was good but then everything after is just bad. The fight was bad, animation bad, what they did in the fight was bad, and the conclusion was bad. They listed no real justification on how Toph wins besides "controlling sand" as you said but there are many factors that go into play there. Toph has been taken by surprise by other benders before like the Dai Lee (hope I spelled that right) who also bend earth. She is not perfect in that regard. Gaara has also fought his father who controls gold similar to the way he controls sand. Both fighters have fought their respective element in some way so who simply being able to "control" said element is not an instant win for either of them. It comes down to what their win conditions are. Toph has to bend the massive amount of sand Gaara can control at once. If we are talking in terms of who has more quantity control it is Gaara and it has been shown in Avatar that bending something huge is difficult. Bumi bending the pillar from his fight with Aang and the giant statue when he freed Omashu on the day of black sun. Toph did slow the decent of the library so both have great deal of control over large quantities. We are again at a stalemate. This means we have to figure out if Toph is fast enough to actually get passed Gaara's sand. She is not. Toph has no speed feats remotely close to what Lee needed to do to get beyond the sand. Lee with his weights on is faster than Toph. Lee with his weights could not get beyond the sand. Toph is in a situation where she has to fight for control of sand that moves faster than she can react to it. Toph has only controlled large amounts of earth once while Gaara does it regularly. He has a stronger degree of scale here so he would win out. This isn't me being a naruto fanboy. I just really hate how that is one of the most forced and lazy victories death battle has ever done.

Yeah, I thought this one was good. Not, like, super-memorable, and the rundown had some pacing problems, but there were some funny moments (Like Korra trying to meditate, key word, trying, or the Cabbage Merchant somehow making his obligatory cameo IN THE SPIRIT REALM) and I do like how , even though Korra lost and everyone knew that going in, they managed to keep the animation looking relatively even, with Korra keeping Storm on the defense for most of the battle, but also clearly conveyed the difference in strength here, with none of Korra's attacks seeming to really do any actual damage to Storm. It's a fine example of how to keep a battle tense even when you know the outcome going in. Not amazing, definitely not on par with the likes of Reverse Flash VS Goku Black or, hell, Alucard vs DIO, but what is? A perfectly solid, serviceable episode. 7/10?

[@e1iteyoshi998]

Your rating for this episode is almost on point with mine. A lot of the problems i have with this episode are as the same with Steven Universe vs Star Butterfly, where the research is just fine and nothing else. However it also has the issue of how it bastardizes Korra's character. They just took the worst aspects of Korra and removed all traits of any character growth she received from Season 3 and 4 and just give her powers from those seasons.

[@TheCustodians]

Also yeah, she went into the avatar state twice in this. Which doesn't make any sense. They should have had the fight take place in Republic City. All elements would have been readily available, metal would have been abundant, and one of those (incredibly dumb) spirit portals is in the city due to the events of season 4. Hell you could even have the fight start on the statue of aang because you could do a call back to the first X-men movie were they fight on the statue of liberty.

I'll admit some things about the episode. I did like the fight as it felt like there was some story to it with Storms claustrophobia and Korra's comparisons of bending elements to her. I even like that it begins relatively like a test of power than like "you must be the enemy" or some misunderstanding, which I thought it would happen due to the accidental iceberg breaking. If I'm in the right mood, I could just watch the fight itself on occasion. I, personally, couldn't get over this matchup to watch the entire episode itself, though. No joke, I even stopped the moment the fight ended. That's how disinterested this matchup was to me. I'm not a fan or either characters, if anything, I like Korra a little more than Storm, but this matchup just pisses me off too much to actually enjoy the whole thing. I repeat, though, I did enjoy the fight.

A couple of times Storm acted like her controller got unplugged for Korra to be able to get a couple of hits on her for the sake of false tension when we all knew that Storm was gonna win. Death Battle even acknowledges that Storm can instantly one shot Korra. So what was the point of having a long drawn out fight if they are gonna say that Storm would just do this to Korra and kill her in an instant before Korra would have the chance to use the Avatar state or any of her complex moves and techniques?

[@chongwillson972]

@RedDusk369 that's because usually if they were made entirely research of fights it would be really boring like when someone has the speed advantage do you want to see the person constantly easily dodging every attack and landing all of their attacks or would you want to see an actually fight? because the truth is if fights were made entirely research they would either being over to quickly or last for far to long...

I actually would like to see someone easily dodging attack and landing all of their attack. Death Battle has already shown no respect to Korra by putting her against someone she has no chance against. Might as well just have her get demolished in the fight.

[@Phantom_of_Black]

A few things I'm legitimately disappointed about in the episode. Storm didn't really get an opportunity to show how she can manipulate "alien" weather while she was in the Spirit World. When Ravva appeared on Korra's torso while she was in that block of ice, I was legit hyped since I thought she as about to turn into that Kaiju-sized spirit form she used to fight Unalaq and Vaatu since they also showed it during her analysis. When Cabbage Guy got his stuff sucked up by Storm's winds, I legitimately expected that by the end of their fight Storm would have gone out of her way to give him back the carriage and produce completely unharmed and that the joke would have been that his cabbages were absolutely fine for once. It could have also been a thematic parallel with how the Avatar character loses this fight. The Fog of Lost Souls turned out to be completely meaningless to the fight as it gave Korra no advantage even while Storm was under its influence. The phrasing at the end even kinda implied that Korra never found out about Ororo's claustrophobia. Now I'm gonna need to talk about politics for this last one. I'm an anarchist in terms of ideology and it legitimately pissed me off when Ben said Korra took down "anarchist revolutionaries" and the video showed a scene where she was battling Amon and his supporters. Not only are they not anarchists, as the show completely lacks an accurate portrayal of that ideology, but the Equalists are supposed to represent communism while the Red Lotus are the ones representing anarchism. Though I'll try to keep the ranting to a minimum as the writers Legend of Korra can't accurately represent any political ideology to save their lives. Ben also calls Kuvira a fascist which is also wrong as she is only really imperialist in her ambitions but is less wrong than calling Amon an anarchist. Point is, the writers of Legend of Korra already don't understand political ideologies and Death Battle managed to fuck them up even harder somehow.

“To ensure a fair fight, any specific moral restraints from killing are removed from combatants. All other traits are considered.” - Death Battle Rule #2 Such a rule is, for the most part, ok for the fighters involved. While certain characters like Superman or Batman are averse to killing, you can see them killing under certain circumstances. It’s with a character like Aang where it breaks down. A person who, through any means necessary, tries his hardest to not kill under any circumstance. Apply the rule to him, and it doesn’t feel like that character. But, the show is called “Death Battle,” where it’s expected to have the loser die (usually in an exaggerated fashion). So, Aang has to kill.

The reason I adore Dedede vs. Wario so much is because it took 2 characters I like and gave me a fight between the *characters* and not 2 skillsets. Seeing Aang just take a life and saying "you left me no choice" made me feel so hollow. The same kid who spared the most evil dude on the planet but he couldn't do the same to Edward. That wasn't Aang I was watching. That was some bald kid with blue tattoos that looks like Aang. "It's about the stats" is such a stupid excuse.
