In Korra, they gave that State for Free to Korra (as with so much else) and that was A Huge Mistake that spawned even more Big Mistakes. After that, the Avatar State was Weak. It meant Nothing. And of course. It had to mean nothing. Otherwise the Protagonist would be Invincible or something. In the End, the Writers, bad as they are, just written themselves into an Epic Corner. The Avatar State was Great in The Last Airbender, but it was a Book-Example for Bad Writing in Legend of Korra.

If the avatar state can resist blood bending, does that mean that a previous avatar could blood bend and overpower it like katara did

[@leviwatson1891]

Probably not, I imagine that hundreds of liftimes of experience probably came across something similar, and learned to counter it. I also imagine a more adept waterbender who at the very least knows what's happening can resist, if not overpower the bloodbending, as Katara did. That also wasn't the first time Aang encountered bloodbending, and knowing it was a 'weakness', was ready for it, although not strong enough alone, did need the help of previous avatars who were also master water benders

[@leviwatson1891]

It's consider extremely malicious, I doubt an avatar would ever use it for any reason

It's just overpowering it....avatar state is too powerful this can't be controlled plus it's a combination of all the past life's resisting so it's like trying to bloodbend 1000people at once

[@rudrodeepchatterjee]

Bloodbending can be resisted by a stronger WATERBENDER, not a BLOODBENDER. Katara refused to learn bloodbending initially, and she resisted Hama's bloodbending before she was forced to bloodbend. So Aang's avatar state resisting bloodbending is not definitive proof of a past avatar knowing to do so.

The severing Of the past Avatars in the Legend Of Korra is to me the most disappointing event to happen in the show.

[@Thief555WWJD]

I thought it made it more fascinating. Korra couldn't rely on other Avatars anymore. Then her being crippled and traumatized by Zaheer is even more tragic because with the combined power of past lives, she could have beaten Zaheer and recovered quickly. But because the connection was severed, she didn't have that option. It was interesting to watch her struggle with those things alone. And the fact that she was still able to pull Zaheer to the ground in the middle of a tornado while being poisoned, all without the help of the other Avatars, shows how truly powerful she is.

[@dylanpastore]

Sidney Goodrich I see your point, without the experience of the past avatars, Korra became much more self-reliant. When Aang needed guidance or wisdom he would call upon his past lives. Sadly Korra lost this luxury, she was alone and had to face challenges without guidance. The reason I think I hate severing so much, is because I can’t stand to live with the fact that the spirits of the past avatars are gone, erased, as if they meant nothing. And what really irks me is that I just found out that this doesn’t just stand Korra, I heard that even the avatars after her will be unable to speak with their past lives. It’s an injustice, they were so helpful, so enlightening, it’s unfair to Korra and to the avatars after her, they will never be able to seek upon the wisdom of those before them. I liked TLOK, even though many people do not, but the one thing I’ll never forgive, is taking away Aang .😔

Ok guys since I love avatar time to ask a question a what if situation. What if at the end of the series anng had killed the firelord? How would the series be different both in real world and in the world of avatar? We need a video about this

[@Dachusblot]

I always imagined that it would have drastically changed Aang's personality - maybe not right away, but over time - as I think he would be haunted by it, and would also feel he'd lost some of his connection to his Air Nomad values. By the time he became an adult I think he would have been a very different person. And who knows how many repercussions that might have had?

[@bibbobella]

I think it would have had quite a few different rather grim repercussions. First of all Aang would have lost his ways. Some might say that he would have finally accepted his role as the avatar and done what was nessesary. I however disagree. If Aang had killed the firelord he would have no longer been Aang anymore since he would have given in to what others wanted him to do and be..instead of what he was. It would leave him hollow and would have never made him unable to ever reconnect with himself since he would forever hate himself. In other words I believe he would have distanced himself from his current life (Like he did in the books with his previous) and thereby distanced himself from all his lifes leaving him an empty husk. Now that is what I believed would have happened to Aang. What would have happened to the world would be just as dark. The war would have been won but the death of the firelord would have most likely made him into a war hero. The firenation would have agreed that easily to what happened to their leader and would have kept the war going costing many more lifes and most likely made it almost impossible for the 4 nations to ever live in peace together. Zuko would never be accepted as the firelord and would have never been able to control it..simply because it would no longer just be seen as the firelord having been defeated in his own game and even spared by the Avatar that could have killed him...but rather an unfair battle that had the bloodthirsty Avatar kill off their leader. I know Uncle Iroh said it had to be the Avatar who defeated the firelord..but notice he said defeat him..never kill. That is my take on it at least.

@@skydragonslayer9820 Hmm tough to say really. Now it would without a doubt have been a hell of a jump for the series and I feel like it would have destroyed more than a few of the important messages that the show was giving us but I am not certain it would have nessesarily been hated. Some people would have disagree with it (myself included) but it would have been exstremely ballsy and even somewhat respectable to actually have the unwilling protagonist actually kill the firelord. The deus ex machina that they kinda threw in with energy bending could have been handled better but I don't believe killing the firelord would end up being better in the end. It would have a huge shock factor from the first viewing but after that be seen as nothing more than a simple attempt at shock value. I don't believe it would have destroyed the show but it would have been an unfitting end to Aang's story arc and would have taken way more away from the show than add to it.

[@nox_cadit]

I really don't get why people are so pissed off about Korra loosing her connection to her last lives. Wan didn't had them and he went by pretty fine. She regained something that the other avatars didn't have, her connection to Raava (actually being able to talk to Raava). I also can't see how they "retconed" the AS just because now it's ALSO implied that in the AS the Avatar is calling upon Raava's power. That doesn't exclude the fact the Raava is the fucking hard drive that stored all of the extra information that a fucking regular human can't. A regular human can't have access to it's previous life's memories, because they don't even reincarnate. I just see raava as a means to explain why the Avatar is what it is. It's a human spirit (Wan) fused with Raava, the ultimate spirit of light. And the past lives aren't other spirits, they are Wan, but reincarnated thus having different consciences, and Raava stores these past consciences inside her along with the elements so the next Avatar will have access to previous knowledge. Is it so hard to understand that the Avatar power come from two different sources and that's why it's so fucking op? They gain a boost from Raava pure light plus their past lives knowledge. Korra is somewhat buffed and nerfed at the same time. Raava is at her peak, since Vaatu is gone for now she's literally almighty now, so Korra have access to far more brute power than the other avatars, but she is lacking the refined power, that being the past lives knowledge. This one will beging to stack again from her onwards and the future avatars will be waaaaay more powerful than the past ones ever would be able to be.

[@nox_cadit]

@jay 1 most of them are pissed because for them somehow Raava being the explanation takes away the mysticism, the spiritual aspect of the Avatar. While I see that it only explain why everything happened and how only one human is able to reincarnate and bend all 4 elements. Somethings I agree that are best left unexplained, like how I rather they haven't explained the origin for Joker on the Joker movie, but in Avatar's case fits perfectly for me.

[@infragrayscale]

Korra will have her raw Raava power, and the next avatars until vaatu starts to grow again. Because he can never be destroyed, just diminished if raava wins the battle. Im sure its another kind of cycle, just on a 10k year cycle. The raw power goes down as the knowledge power increases until the next battle with vaatu. But like @jay 1 says it is still kinda strange how the avatar can just bend so much more of an element when in avatar state. That's probably due to raava's power

[@nox_cadit]

@@infragrayscale but even if the brute power Raava provides becomes less and less, in the end it will be more than it was when Wan fused with Raava. At the time Raava fitted into a tea pot, now, even if Vaatu returns, Raava will just return to it's regular power and size.

[@keanancupido]

True Wan didn't have any last lives. Only Raava. But then again, having all those past lives is such a great gift to the Avatar. I personally was angry when this happened, but it was out of her control (in a way). Drawing wisdom from their past lives is so useful, but it also provides the Avatar with guidance and great advice about how to move forward with maintaining peace. But I'm hoping that this feature doesn't end with Korra. That having the past live feature continue. And what's great is that she knows energy bending and that knowledge will be passed on to the next Avatar. I'm certain the Avatar Cycle will always continue to impress, grow stronger and endure. Love: Me :P

[@keanancupido]

@jay 1 Great minds think a like am I right🐣I appreciate that Korra, even though she was not at fault tried hard to redeem herself. And what was really fascinating for me was how she took energy bending to the next level. We all saw how Aang bent Ozais energy, but Korra definitely displayed the true power of the Avatar. And she did this without the help of the past avatars. I am grateful for the way she made up for what happened in the past and as you said it made her stronger. She isn't Aang, we can all agree, but her character definitely shows us how worthy she is to be an Avatar and why she was the next reincarnation of Aang.

[@riskleaf6079]

I think it's fitting that Korra has to begin the avatar state again. When Wan sealed the spirit world away all other Avatars dealt with a segreated world. Spirts, and humans separated with the Avatar being the bridge for then. Now with the world's intertwined once more the Avatar is not the bridge between worlds anymore. Being instead a peacekeeper. Having Korra who intertwined them be the first Avatar in the new cycle is really poetic.

Wish they had never explained the avatar state. In ATLA it was such a spectacular phenomenon, it felt like the wrath of God descending on mortals. Remember the first time Aang used it in the Water tribe? All the living creatures, in the Artic bowed their heads to the divine light. The Avatar statues in all the temples started shining, people all around the world bowed to this divine phenomenon. Literally gave me chills, such was the awe of the Avatar State. Meanwhile in Korra, it was ... best be forgotten.

[@mr.kingofphenomenal4629]

The best feats in avatar state Wan creating an elemental orb while on tornado. Yang Chen creating hurricane winds. Kuruk creates a massive wave. Kyoshi creates her own island. Roku bends lava from a volcano. Aang elemental sphere while gliding in the air. Korra bending physical energy creating a spirit portal. Dark Avatar Unalaq creates huge ice spikes and riding water spout at full speed.

[@Carabas72]

Best Aang feat: after the Ozai fight, after he has finally mastered the Avatar state, he just casually switched it on, effortlesly raises the entire sea level to put out some fires raging across the country, and then calmly just releases it again. That's way better than an element sphere.

[@odiethe4th]

one thing you can look at the severing of the avatar from the past in book two of Korra. Is the start of a new cycle.

[@crownedspirit472]

This power is based on your higher self your true spirit. To be connected with that which manifests you, gives you your signals, callings and ideas to go through in order to grow. Some of us are able to awaken to it, and fully realise ourselves and become enlightened (i went through it.) Then there are 2 holy chakras you have to unlock the universal gate chakra and the cosmic gate chakra or source/God chakra. Which allows the spirit to link with god itself. You are able to manifest and see your spiritual self and project anything in that state. This is what the avatar state is based on, but the creators didn’t know about divine chakras. So they were never shown in the series making the whole unlock the crown and you are connected with your higher (the avatar state.) False, but it is the final step to getting there the universal chakra, is the last thing needed to be one with your higher self or at least connect with it at will. Currently i am at the stellar chakra or soul star chakra. So i’m close, my goal is to reach my spirit and then connect with God and perhaps even communicate with it!

Given that mastery of the avatar state requires them to maintain their individually amongst all the others present whilst in the avatar state, could it be argued that as the cycle continues it would be more difficult to master it? It could also be seen as increasingly dangerous, like a bomb using all 4 elements massively at the same time, with no control.

I've been going through TLA lore videos as part of my Avatar Yangchen cosplay and was thrilled to find someone producing content so recently as, well, this very month. I share your frustration over Korra losing the connection to past avatars; I like history and backstory, so it felt devastating. Truthfully, however, although I enjoyed the Korra series, for me it's not on the same level as TLA, and I think your videos on special bending techniques and how prevalent they now are made me realize why that is. Anyway, rambling aside, I look forward to future Avatar videos you make!

One thing about Aang is that we he never was able to use the Avatar State properly until the very end of the final episode, when he spirit-bended. The only thing he could do before that was being involuntarily overtaking by the Hulk-Smash break-glass-in-case-of-emergency berserker version of the Avatar State wherein he had very little if any control over his actions, couldn't turn it off, and sometimes didn't even remember what he had done. Every other Avatar we've seen, fom Kyoshi to Rokku to Korra could turn it on and off on a dime and kept full control when they did (except for Korra that one time when she was poisoned and dying, but I think that's a valid excuse).

[@ProdigousKal.El.]
