Mercury poisoning is terrifying, give it some research like the writers did. It explains a hell of a lot about what Korra was seeing during this fight and why she is taking so long to recover at the end of this season. Its symptoms are brutal.

[@lucasmaloneywordsmith8661]

And Zaheer put what looked to be an entire *litre* of mercury into her. That's enough to be instantly lethal to several dozen people simultaneously. And yet she survived.

[@Jeremy_theGent]

I remember the last few minutes of this really catching me off guard, Korra looking at her reflection with those dark circles under her eyes and appearing so broken and devastated, in the wheelchair, crying at Jinora's coronation, it's a real shock to the system for someone we're used to seeing very poised and confident. That PTSD is gonna hit her hard.

[@Tpenutbuttercup38]

It’s so interesting because the actual events themselves are so outlandish and removed from any real world traumatic events that one of us could have or have gone through, and yet you feel it deep in your stomach how much of a toll has been expended on Korra through these episodes that the trauma allegories feel so real

[@beethewizard]

Kuvira is one of the dancers when we see them practicing when they meet Su. She is also on the backpack of a newspaper Varrick is reading. Kuvira was also the main guard when the Red Lotus broke into the city to kidnap Korra. So she has been sprinkled throughout seasons three and four.

I love the fact that the way all the members of the red lotus were defeated was to use their own elements against them. That 3rd eye lady died cause of her own explosion, the lava guy basically burried himself, Minhua was defeated cause she miscalculated the fact that being sourced by a full lake of water wouldn't be an advantage and Zaheer got sucked by the tornado. The element that lifted him up in the skies, the same element brought him down to earth so violently. So poetic. Kudos to the writers❤

​@@CaiRobinsonseason 2 was definitely the fault of the network for only ordering a season at a time. With seasons 3 and 4 being ordered together, there's a bit more of a throughline to work with, hence the introduction of Kuvira midway through, but they still interfered with scheduling and location of release when it was being first aired (they tried to put it on the Nick website a few times, rather than the actual network/the subnetworks like TeenNick) Season 3 also abandoned (finally) the love storylines of the principal cast, and focused on expanding lore in all directions nearly constantly (versus the small bursts we got in season 2 with Wan and Vaatu)

When Aang was talking to his past lives during the finale of atla, he talks to Yangchen who tells him he must sacrifice his spiritual needs for his duty to the earth as the avatar.

[@halzie1888]

There's actually a really wholesome explination as to why we dont typically see airbenders flying anymore. As seen in Avatar wan's flashback, all airbenders actually used to be able to fly without their gliders, that's how they went to and from their lion turtle. The whole philosophy for weightlesness/flight as stated by guru laghima is detachment, and so the reason most airbenders can't fly is because they're now permenantly bonded to the sky bison! Remember, "A sky bison is a companion for life"!

[@chandies]

Correct. And when P'Li died, Zaheer lost his last remaining tether to the world.

I would like to thank you for sharing your vulnerable & loving memories between you and your sister. Cancer is awful and nobody should have to deal with it in any capacity. I lost my dad to cancer 16 years ago when I was a teen. Sadly I don't have many memories of him anymore, but one thing I'll never forget was our goodbye aswell. He stayed at home until the very end and even though the disease took most of him in the months and weeks leading up to his passing, he also had this moment where he got up on the couch and looked straight into my & my sister's eyes one last time, before we hugged him. Life is really, really awful sometimes and it's never easy, but this love we all have to cherish forever. Our loved ones are always with us. I don't know what else to say. Take care everyone 💜

[@ShizuruNakatsu]

I wish all humans could be more loving and compassionate towards each other. Not just to our families, or those we have a personal connection to. At the end of the day, no matter what our differences are, we are all people. We all have the same spirit. I don't know how people can go out into the world and intentionally cause harm to other people... When you're hurting someone, remember that they are human, they have a heart, they have their own feelings, their own wants and desires, dreams and aspirations... And somebody loves them. We're all capable of feeling these things, we can all connect emotionally, and relate to each other. Even as complete strangers. We are all connected and we all should take care of each other and support each other. I love everybody, and I would never put another person in any kind of pain for my own personal benefit. I will always do whatever I can to help those who need it. I just don't understand how someone could hurt another person, another living being, willingly... I just wish everyone could see the world as I do. To see beyond our physical differences... To look on all of humanity with love.

[@laura_gieger]

When you talked about watching your sister's condition deteriorate... it reminds me of my dad. It'll be 3 years this May, that my father passed away from cancer. He underwent chemo and it was just too strong for him. He was cleared to go home in late April but he couldn't eat and had no appetite so over the next few weeks he deteriorated before our eyes. I think, to this day, that he had multiple organ failure and possibly a stroke the day he died (given a few symptoms) given his rapid deterioration but I'll never know for sure. Watching Korra's pain and rage about her father dying (at least that's what she thought) always hurts for those reasons. I wish I could give you a hug. Loss of a family member is so hard to deal with and never truly leaves us.

We have actually seen this Kuvira character before. In some of the episodes that took place in Zaofu, she can be seen as one of the (head) guards. Just look for the distinct beauty mark below her right eye. Very curious they decided to explicitly mention her name twice in this episode though.

I do wish she had a more prominent role this season, like, nothing huge or influential to the story, but enough to know who she is (and her connection to Su) by this point, could have easily happened in the Zaofu episodes.

Bolin being a lavabender makes so much sense considering his parents.

[@dargron7614]

Not just his parents. A huge part of bending is also philosophy and attitude. Having a Firebender for a brother, training and bending alongside him for his entire life, being exposed to Firebending techniques and way of thinking for all that time, this likely all played a part in Bolin being able to access Lavabending.

[@beckhambrooklynpenza1708]

The mindset also makes sense, since Ghazan and Bolin are both pretty easygoing people

[@Wuffskers]

@@dargron7614 it's probably why it's such a rare ability, technically metalbending is more or less just advanced earthbending but lavabending likely requires some kind of influence from firebending, so if you're an earthbender who is only ever around other earthbenders even if you're really good and good enough to do metalbending it's likely you wouldn't be able to lavabend.

[@yew2oob954]

Fan fic addition to Bolin's lava bending: Bolin looks over at them, they have a look of acceptance of the inevitable, fear, helplessness. Bolin remembers every time Mako seemed like a superhero when they were kids. Memories quickly go through Bolin's mind of all the times Mako fought when they were homeless kids, bigger people, when they were outnumbered, against all odds. In this moment Bolin understood that it's his time to protect those he loves and steps forward. The earth only moves for the immovable. Lava only bends when a fire within burns immovably. You don't bend lava, you are immovable and calm with a molten core of determination not just the fire of life inside.

[@MarcoSilva-jj6xo]

Notice the absence of lightning for awhile? They did that on purpose to get a good reaction to mako using it against ming hua.

It's absolutely insane how much better the show got when the creators knew they were getting more than one season, season three is just amazing. So much growth for all of the characters, and even for the world itself. Big props to Henry Rollins for his portrayal of Zaheer too. One interesting thing is I haven't seen any reactors yet recognize the Red Lotus poison as mercury (or at least I assume that's what it is)

[@TheJokerAkaCirque]

Fun fact, several months(?) before season 3 even started to air, the creators shared a very crude (and I mean very crude) drawing of Korra sitting down with a sad face as a glimpse of what they were working on. It was so vague in that format that it appeared to just be a silly choice of image that effectively gave us no glimpse at all. Of course in reality, it was a simplified sketch of the season's final shot. Who knew

[@MiddleVeen]

Theres a theory that air benders lost the ability to fly when they formed their bonds with the fly bisons. Once they bonded, they had a tether that allowed them to fly with the bisons but also blocked them from flying themselves.

[@The5armdamput33]

You definitely have seen Kuvira before... She was just never heavily focused on, or named... She's been in the background in Zaofu and occasionally walks into the room to report things directly to Suyin... She was fighting along with the White Lotus in Zaofu when the Red Lotus captured Korra and she was the one who grabbed Zaheer and separated him from the group...

[@Saphthings]

Btw, that water lady's "octopus move", this is just my mind, not some official thing. I think it startled Kaya because if we think back to ATLA it was sort of Katara's signature master move, that she got better and better with, started with the waterbending scroll and the "water whip" and each season she kept improving on it. And this supervillain just did an even bigger more complex version. So the feeling I got was the same way Tenzin measures himself against Aang, Kaya must also look up to her famous mom, and this supervillain just pulled up with a stronger version of her mom's signature move.

[@frenchynoob]

Interesting take. Kya seems to have her own version, the Double-Water Rings she uses a few times. Seems to serve the same defensive capabilities, but more tailored towards ice projectile attacks instead of multiple water whips.

[@Saphthings]

@@frenchynoob I do wish they had focused a bit more on her and how cool a bender she is. Because she definitely has some skill, and she IS Katara's daughter, odds are she'd be cool to watch.

I feel like I’ve been waiting MONTHS for you to see Bolin’s bending reveal 😂 I think it makes so much more sense for his character than metal bending and I LOVE that they didn’t just go with the “once he believes in himself, he’ll be able to do it!” arc and instead showed that just believing in yourself hard enough won’t make something right for you when it’s not. Sometimes it’s just not the thing that’s meant for you and that’s okay!

[@elisa529]

I’m so sorry for your loss but so glad you have that memory of your sister. teared up with you, my mom is in remission (Breast and bone) and I can’t imagine.

[@francescawhite4166]

The way I've been so excited for this!! The ending of this season always makes me cry 😭😭

[@TBDS1990]

Something that i haven't seen mentioned yet.. Season 3 was the last season. Nickelodeon canceled the show and that ending was literally it.. Then sometime later (can't remember how much exactly) the creators of the show anounced that they were going to create season 4 without Nickelodeon, putting forth the funding themselves for season 4. Season 4 is so dang special, even more so simply for the fact that we weren't supposed to have it at all.

[@markgreen5990]

Angela, thank you for sharing your story. It is truly a beautiful thing how open and compassionate you are. My wife's brother passed away from lung cancer and we just returned home from his memorial service. The evening after the service, we all gathered at his wife's home and spent hours laughing and crying together. His wife and son told us of the ups and downs of caring for him in his final weeks and we all shared funny stories and anecdotes from our lives and memories of him. You are so right, it was a truly cathartic experience, and hearing your story of you and your sister is like a healing balm. We are not alone, and all we need do is let those around us in.

Kuvira is actually in the background during a few scenes throughout season 3. She’s one of the dancers that was rehearsing when Korra met Suyin. She was also one of the guards that tried to stop Zaheer’s crew when they attempted to kidnap Korra.

[@somecallmetim2112]

The guard with the beauty mark who caught Tonraq is named Kuvira. She is voiced by Zelda Williams, daughter of Robin Williams. She was present at Su's dance rehearsal when they first arrived at Zaofu, and served as Captain of the Zaofu guard.

My grandmother passed away two weeks ago, and hearing your story at the end of this brought me to tears. The sentiment of not being alone in grief is powerful and means a lot. You're right that these stories are so important and avoiding them isn't healthy. Sending much love and good vibes to you.

[@vadalia3860]

Thank you for talking about the emotional effect of watching media with stories about losing loved ones. In the past 6 years I've lost my father, only brother, both my grandmothers, and helped my mother fight stage 4 cancer (that she's thankfully over a year in remission for) I get hit hard by these kinds of stories but there's definitely something comforting, to me, in the universality of the experience of grief and loss. These stories work so well because almost everyone has lost someone they care about and that also, to me, means no one is alone in their grief. We all know what it feels like to carry that weight and so in some ways it feels like we all carry it together.

[@_anne7956]

I was thinking about that! I didn't feel like comenting on it cause seeing good people (aka Angela) cry while talking about real issues is something that gets me everytime so I just focus on mentioning fiction stuff. But although I absolutely HATE to see her sadness, I'm really glad to see that there are people out there who can talk about this kinds of stuff. Plus I'm glad she has a place to mention her sister and how it affects her, cause like she said, in "real life" we tend to kinda avoid those topics with our loved ones.

[@whatthehellisthisname]

Angela: "How do they not break bones doing that, I swear." Also Angela: "Why is she in a wheelchair?"

[@MamoruMe]

Thank you for what you do. And thank you for sharing your story. I am so sorry for your loss. A very dear friend of mine tragically passed away young a few months ago and your videos are a great help in the sense that, a shared love of media has always been something that kept my fire burning, and it was something that made me and my friend so close, so I've been kind of trying to stay afloat by sticking to what I know, and your videos give me a place to feel and to reflect and to reminisce. So again, thank you, and I'm looking forward to book 4 reactions!

[@mandmified17]

Thank you for being so open and vulnerable with your grief. I lost my dad to cancer 11 years ago and relate a lot to how you described your experience. It’s always beautiful to see how art and stories can bring people together and help us reflect on our own emotions

[@mranima748]

Interestingly about P’li, the original combustionebenders were created as weapons

[@kristofferremmell]

You saw Kuvira a lot. She’s in almost every S3 episode at Zaofu.

[@piotrkijak1774]

When you realise that Korra is actually next lifetime of "Aang" which was told us plenty in both ATLA and TLOK. Her crying at the end just hits different, also Tatto is for the airbending masters.

[@JesseShadows37]

So proud of our Boi Bolin. Lava Bending is WAY cooler than Metal Bending.

[@Juuri_]

Teared up too many times at this video T^T Thank you for sharing your story with us

[@mattf315]

Thank you for sharing about your sister. I have a twin sister, and she is incredibly important to me, I can’t imagine what you went through. I applaud your strength and compassion with newfound respect and admiration. I can’t wait to see your reaction to next season and wish you the best

[@Gellex1990]

I remember most of this season was aired on television, but it got pulled off air and it was then streamed only. I think it was because of the killing. They never aired the episode where the queen died on TV, that was streamed only. It was a while ago, so I might not be remembering correctly though. I also forgot about that one scene with Bolin throwing Opal's mom, so he could hug Opal. I laughed a little too hard at that scene and your reaction to it.

[@alexo_pog]

these two episodes turned out so meaningful, so powerful and so poetic, i've been a little bit in front of you on my Korra journey so i watched this earlier this year and i still remember how hard these scenes hit me, an impressive culmination of this great season and i know this is tacky, but seeing you watch this series with such passion and seeing how connected you've become is really one of my favorite things to do nowadays, making me want to go and give you a big ol' hug because you deserve all of them, take care flg and see you in season 4!!!

[@TheJerbol]

LOK did side character progression extremely well imo. Mako/Bolin are soooo badass at this point

[@orfeassiozos1575]

I was already teary-eyed at the finale but I absolutely broke down during your Ending analysis. Thank you for sharing your life and what you've learned with us, it is greatly appreciated 💞 I am looking forward to your reactions to Book 4, it's my favourite one (big reason being all the things that were set up in Book 3)!

[@TheFireMonkey]

I understand very well, I have faced loss as too. People often think that after a loss you need to be hidden from things that might remind you - but what is really needed is to face the world and make it through.

[@jps889]

After this last super intense finale, you deserved that vacation and hope you had or is continuing having a blast. You and your video editor are definitely Top Tier!

[@kevandre]

Well the earth queen isn't the first death in the series, either atla or Korra. We straight up saw Jet get murdered, and then Tarloq kill both himself and his brother. Also unalaq but he just kind of like dissolved. I'm probably missing a couple others too

[@kevandre]

Anyway I'm super excited to watch this

[@kevandre]

Angela you got me crying with your story in the wrapup

[@hasicazulatv2078]

We didnt really SEE jet die, it was heavily insinuated though once the dust cleared

[@lvfd6117]

Technically sure, theres plenty of moment in atla and korra where you think "no way that dude survived" but she's right, the earth queens death was definitely a whole different deal no zoom out to an explosion no vague off screen fate leaving us to assume what happened, we watched her be slowly suffocated until she died, whole new level of seriousness to prove zaheers commitment to his ideals

[@Saphthings]

I mean, you're not wrong, but also most of them it was implied but not as directly seen. The Jet thing was even laughed at with the whole play episode lol. But there are certainly several times where I'm like, "that person definitely just died right....?"

[@odeswaldosanchez59]

32:05 "give it to Zaheer" love it 😅😅

[@sandralavegana9773]

Sock

[@pabloortiz8825]

the four benders of zahir groups are so bad ass, the sound before the explosion is so scary and seeing tolrak and beifong sisters fight is allways amazing

[@TheGoddamnBacon]

I think you dealt with what you have, as healthily as you could. Good on you for that. Can't wait for season 4.

[@reysgotplans5005]

Just a note that I'm really enjoying your reactions to this series. I love your long recaps and debriefs after 2 episodes, really well crafted and with lots of effort put in. I recently commented on another channel that this kind of effort into reaction channels is what makes them worth watching, keep up the great work 😊

[@carterbaker4107]

This next season, s4 ep2 is one of my favorite and most meaningful episodes in all of Avatar, especially as it relates to my own personal journey in life. Get ready because this next season hits HARD emotionally.

[@tylercox2875]

When i watched this for the first time and i heard amon's voice, i was like HES BACK BABYYYY, but the hallucination was ok too i guess

[@andrew6061]

10:44 it's that chili dog you had for lunch don't worry lol 😅

[@Qwajman97]

Your words at the end of this episode really helped me and it made me feel better to know that I'm not alone. I have been struggling this past day after losing my childhood dog this past weekend (he was 16 years old.) Putting him down was such a hard decision and I can't imagine how difficult losing someone like a sister or parent is.

[@sorayastreit906]

The last episode is my favorite from the show ! I rewatch it all the time, Korra is such a badass and just the emotions it putts us through... amazing ❤❤

[@jojojo503]

I really appreciate your openness about your grief and how these stories affect you, and how important they are.

[@TukaihaHithlec]

45:59 There was this guy I knew who went through something kinda similar. He wasn’t a bad person by any means, but you might have called him lazy and apathetic. Suddenly he learns that his mother is going to die of brain cancer and the family can’t get her to stop working as hard as she can to take care of them. It lit a fire under him and he developed a stronger work ethic than anyone I’ve ever heard of. He accomplished things within a decade that most people don’t in their whole careers. His mother didn’t die before seeing everything he accomplished thanks to her. He died suddenly 9 years ago this month due to medical malpractice, not long after his mother. I miss him.
