The Legend of Korra Season 1 Episode 1 Reaction | Welcome to Republic City

[@theinspiredgamer1949]

The best way I can describe the difference between ATLA and TLOK is by paraphrasing a comment I heard somewhere else: "Aang never wanted to be the Avatar in a world that needed him. Korra is eager to be the Avatar in a world that doesn't want her." Keep that in mind as you watch this show. Korra is not Aang, and that's for good reason. I can't wait to watch your reactions!

[@GirlofCulture]

She is the complete opposite of Aang and that was always the right decision to tell a new Avatar story instead of telling the same stuff again. Ironically here, but i can imagine if it could be possible.. Korra would be a great big sister to Aang and have lots of fun. But Korra is 17 here and as a teen she is stupid and does stupid things cause she is beginning to bloom a true personality and her emotions are dancing Mambo. My teenage years are far behind me but not to far to don't understand her.

[@jbearclowater]

Great perspective. The detail I would add to that is their attitudes to their respective duties as well; Aang was a pacifist in a time of war, while Korra is a warrior in a time of peace.

[@vandalfs1]

Another difference description I’ve heard goes along the lines: “Aang is a great person learning to be a good Avatar. Korra is a great Avatar learning to be a good person.”

[@GirlofCulture]

@@vandalfs1 Yeah i can see why people say that. Pretty good line. Thank you for that.

[@newtechnoblade]

@@theinspiredgamer1949 TLOK is just like Kamala Harris.

[@antoniogonzales1976]

Just to give you a time line, it's 70 years between Zuko's coronation and Korra's firebending finals. The teaser about Zuko's mother is an enticement to read the ATLA comics. Her story is in there.

[@baconboi9499]

So glad to see kora getting the attention it deserves, I know when it first came it wasn’t well received but I’ve always been a fan of the show

[@vetarlittorf1807]

@@baconboi9499 It actually was well received at first. In fact, it was so popular that the show was extended.

[@darkmaejan]

Yeah I remember really enjoying the first book and getting more disappointed as the show went on, hopefully with some time and watching it with this amazing couple I have a blast all the wat through this time.

[@hellowhat890]

Fun fact: When Jinora asks Katara what happens to Zuko's mom, the comics hadn't been published yet at the time. Ikki cockblocking us in the show was funny but also frustrating for the fans. 😂😂😂

[@davidbeer5015]

“We’re acknowledging that you’ve been asking but we aren’t telling yet. That’s not part of this story.”

[@hellowhat890]

Aang sadly passed away at the age of 66. Using the Avatar state to keep him alive in the ice for 100 years was the main cause. Here's another example, Kyoshi was the oldest Avatar in history and able to live to be over a couple hundred years old. This was because she was one of the few Avatars who rarely used the Avatar state.

[@ayanleman]

Kyoshi splitting the continent probably did the heavy lifting, she just has to show up for the fighting to stop.

[@bluehope42]

I don't think the Avatar State plays any role in age. Where did you get that Kyoshi rarely used the avatar state? Extending age has to do with meditation and earthbending as evidenced by Bumi and Guru Pathik.

[@henriquecallegas322]

Actually, it was confirmed in one of her books that Kyoshi learned a special "cellbending" to keep her body from aging, so technically she could have lived forever if wanted, that's why she died at 200+ years old, but still looking as early 30s

[@davidbeer5015]

@bluehope42 From what I recall of where we get the long life thing confirmed for sure, it didn’t give me the sense of it being Earthbending (Pathik is unknown if he’s a bender). It always seemed to me like some sort of meditative awareness of the body to keep it in a set state.

[@EmeraldKing6987]

There are comics that explain what happen to Zukos mom

[@DovahkiinMaster172]

“I thought I should put off your training to uphold his legacy….but you ARE his legacy.” Aaaaannd here come the tears….

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

🥲

[@NebyuGameFreak]

I just wanted to let everyone know that Aang was a kid who was raised up by monks, whereas Korra was not. Therefore, they are their own unique characters with different life experiences and upbringings. Enjoy the show you two!!

[@GirlofCulture]

So many fans gave the finger for the "What happens to Zuko's Mom?" Joke back then. 😆 Understandable because at this point in 2012 i guess we don't had the Comics, which explain these events.

[@Multxverse]

"...and then she just dies." This is still fucking funny for a very specific reason

[@Arthera0]

basically happened in Moana

[@davidbeer5015]

Ahh, our lovable “golden retriever” of the show…

[@michaelcarlton1484]

Oogie, Tenzin's Sky Bison, is named after Aang and Katara's love. Sokka would walk in on the two kissing and say it gave him the 'oogies'. Also, you'll notice that Oogie has physical differences from Appa. Oogie is actually from a separate breed that was kept safe and rediscovered. Same with any lemurs you see in LOK.

[@darknessunknown4384]

Amon is voiced by legendary voice actor, Steve Blum. Some of his credits include Spike (from Cowboy Bebop), Orochimaru (from Naruto), and Tom (the host of Toonami, on Cartoon Network). You'll be hearing a lot more of him, when you get to Star Wars: Rebels; he voices one the main characters (Zeb), and some of the background characters.

[@Jathom]

Now that you point it out, I definitely hear the Orochimaru in him. Did not put together that he is Zeb, though!

[@MatthewJamesKalasky]

I actually knew about Steve Blum thanks to the second season of Digimon.

[@zexalcommander7036]

Also Starscream in Transformers: Prime and Transformers: Earthspark

[@jacobm-yv9kw]

can't forget about Grunt and Tank Dempsy

[@rgentum]

While this series gets dogged on a lot, I’m under the belief that it’s because it just doesn’t match its predecessor. That does *not* mean that the show is bad, I think it’s amazing and loved every episode of it. Enjoy it!

[@lighttheshadowreaper5102]

I'm still of the opinion this show would have been on par, or greater, if only the creators weren't treated so poorly by the Nick execs. They had plans, but they were never given a second season until way late into season 1, so they couldn't set up future events like they did with Avatar, then they were told to push Season 2 to ride a hype trend, but told they wouldn't have Season 3. Then at the very end of S2, they were told to get two more seasons out, then told they were going to be online-only halfway through S3. The odds were stacked against Korra from the start

[@BuzryHaproMandalorianHunter]

Agreed. The last show was tailored to kids and this show is meant for those kids that are now grownup.

[@filipvadas7602]

That and the fact that a lot of it is "Great idea, mediocre execution." Its not a bad show, but ATLA set the bar so high that TLOK's flaws are *magnified*

[@TheShockVox]

S1 still ends in a kinda disappointing way. And i still think S1 is the best season of Korra plotwise. S3 has the best action arguably of the whole franchise.

[@carlosalbertoalcazarandrad5348]

I think It is still a good execution

[@CaptainScarLeg]

Straight into Korra! Hell yeah! I know it doesn't get as much love as the original series, but it's genuinely one of my favourite shows, you guys are in for a ride that's for sure.

[@dklounge7082]

Very important to keep in mind that yes, Korra is not Aang but she doesn't need to be. They already showed in Avatar that all the previous lives had different personalities and plus Korra is a teenager so of course she is gonna be a bit hotheaded. They never say it in the show, but Aang died at the age of 66 because of the fact that he was stuck in the Avatar State while in an iceberg and as a result it shortened his lifespan

[@JBartus913]

My younger son and I love this show. It's just more bending, more avatar, more cool charachters and villains. Hope you both love it too

[@mariorico9305]

the comparison between the 2 shows is: "The Legend of Aang was a story of a person learning how to be a better Avatar and the Legend of Korra is the story of the Avatar learning how to be a better person".

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

That’s a good and simple way to explain the distinction between the two 🙂

[@jbearclowater]

My theory is no one commissioned statues of Toph, she just went around making them and no one was brave enough to tell her no.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

😂 we like that theory and it sounds like Toph 😁

[@antoniogonzales1976]

The fact that Katara said "gone" and not "dead" could imply also friends she's lost touch with over the years.

[@baki_morningstar]

if i remember right because thats a kid show or produce by a kid program they cant say dead so they say gone just like we dont see blood and dismember and other thing like that ^^

[@MatthewJamesKalasky]

@@baki_morningstar They WHERE, in fact, allowed to use words like "dead" and "kill" and whatnot. Aang: "I guess I have no choice. I have to kill the Fire Lord" as one example.

[@wesgillhamii_pde]

Having J.K. Simmons in this show is easily the best part

[@Blackholex10]

I’m SO excited for you guys to watch this show. It does have flaws mainly in the following seasons due to production issues but it’s such a great show. I hope you’ll like it!

[@samuelclayhills3298]

With the owl house production issues are no longer a valid exuse.

[@MrAndyboo]

I'm excited you guys are doing Korra!! This first season is so good

[@ElijahA.]

OMG I literally cried tears of joy when I saw this. I’ve wanted you guys to see it soooo badly, it’s really good. Thank You!

[@ScratchingCatto]

When ATLA came out I was Aang's age and by the time Korra came out I was her age. For me both shows are the greatest shows of all time. Both of them were perfectly toned for how I felt at the time, so the fact that they're different was always perfect for me.

[@andrewjackson497]

Aang died at the age of 66 but since he was trapped in the ice berg for 100 years he would’ve been 166 when he died

[@paulmurphy3023]

The Avatar reactions were wonderful so it's good to see you continuing on with the Legend of Korra. Fun fact: Tenzin is voiced by J. K. Simmons.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Can’t believe we didn’t recognize J Jonah Jameson himself 😝

[@davidbeer5015]

@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 If it makes a difference, his use of his voice in this show is fairly different, with a few moments like sound like his now bombastic roles that creep in. His calm/stoic voice is fabulous though.

[@CapitanGlasto]

Yes, we lost a lot of the past characters but this is a new story and the most of the new characters are likeable.

[@nicholaswilkerson4394]

And yes, Aang died around the biological age of 68 (168, chronologically). All that time in the iceberg in the Avatar state drained his life energy pretty hardcore.

[@CuriosityReigns]

There we go, starting on another saga. This show has many aspects that I like seem explored in the Avatar universe and, while the pacing might feel different, its definitely one of my favorite shows back when I watched it not long ago. Korra is a welcoming character to this universe and I love her personality, as opposed to Aang who we know how he was like. Is nice to see the changing of pace of the world and how we see how the Avatar behaves in such world. Very excited to go on another journey with you guys!

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

😎🤘🥳

[@hellowhat890]

Fun name detail: Gyatso from The Last Airbender and Tenzin here in Korra is named after the real Dalai Lama. ❤️

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Very cool fun fact 😀

[@GirlofCulture]

Toph was voiced by the incredible gorgeous looking woman Michaela Jill Murphey and Korra is voiced by the talented lovely Janet Varney. And J.K Simmons is Tenzin. You didn't notice it if he is not swearing about Spiderman 😆

[@TheSyncos]

The one thing Legend of Korra does exceptionally well, is villains. This is gonna be a fun ride =)

[@bluehope42]

About the differences between parents and their children, you must understand that we met the Gaang when they were children. Their progression into adults and the dynamic with their own children is handled really well in Legend of Korra imo. Early 2026 we are getting an adult Gaang movie too, can't wait.

[@jdogx211]

One reason Earth Bending has taken such a drastic turn from just trying to throw the BIGGEST rock possible is because of all the collateral damage that occurs in major cities like this. A small scuffle can result in several streets needing to be completely torn up and repaved or even knocking over an ENTIRE Sky Scrapper!

[@nathanielreik6617]

Aang did die somewhat young. 100 years in an iceberg in the Avatar State the entire time took a toll on his body that didn't really manifest until the end of his life but he ended up dying at 66.

[@danielcooper6273]

lets go i luv Korra and i think you will to ENJOY!! :)

[@argotheslicer1654]

KORRA!! KORRA!!!! KORRA!!!! KORRA!!! YEAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

[@SCP.343]

If you noticed when Aang was talking to the past avatars, each generation of avatar seems to over correct for the personality traits of the one before, which can be seen as the previous avatar's weaknesses or flaws. And their personalities are almost mirror opposites of the previous generation's. So the differences between Aang and Korra really shouldn't be too surprising.

[@Obileo346]

This show has a lot of highlights in both characters and story. It is always a fun watch and some if its highs are better than ATLA. That being said there are a lot of moments in the show, i won't spoil, i promise, that ignore, destroy, or retcon the world building and power scaling that the original show spent so much time to build up so carefully. Because of that I have a hard time enjoying the show for what it is. I sincerely hope you enjoy your time with it, and i'm looking forward to seeing your thoughts, and i will never fault anyone who enjoys this show. It's just not one i personally enjoy.

[@TheGrimLlama]

Tenzin may be a stick in the mud but he's a really good guy and true friend to the avatar. Same with Lin, she's just got tophs rough edges.

[@MalufMatheus]

If you want to understand the problems about the Equalists, you have to read the comics of Aang's Era. The problems about benders and non-benders start there and are the seeds for Korra problems in season 1, as some other problems from future seasons for Korra.

[@Brianpcomstock]

Love this show so much. Korra is my hot headed water bending queen

[@doneekdiggs1211]

I love both shows but I will say that I still love Korra as the Avatar over Aang. A lot of people will disagree with me but she is just a badass and went through the biggest character development in the show

[@HippieJoe]

I was never a huge fan of The Legend of Korra, but the animation was actually pretty phenomenal and the story wasn't all too bad. That being said, It was a great show, it just wasn't for me since it had little to do with the original. Knowing both of your personalities to a degree, im sure you will love it though. Cheers to a new series! P:S: They are right when they say, treat it as its own show, since it has little to do with the original. That's okay though, the series was pretty good.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

So far we did the vibe of the show. Definitely different than ATLA. But there’s no way to repeat that magic 🤩 so glad they didn’t try

[@chandlermorgan708]

What I love about korra is that she's the complete opposite of aang

[@brettchew3771]

Also: the shorter, rounder White Lotus member you see at the beginning was voiced by Stephen Root (Prof. Anders).

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Nice 🙂

[@HirokiPlays]

About the kids being so different. To be fair, I can see it happening. If your parents are too big of goofballs, you kinda grow up to be more grounded and serious because someone has to be, and the opposite is true as well. But you also have to keep in mind that Aang and the crew were kids. We don't know what kind of people they grew up to be, and I'd be shocked if they stayed the same... Most people don't act like they did when they were 11 by the time they have children of their own lol. It's just hard to remember that because of the life they had, they had so many responsibilities for being so young.

[@patrickedger2448]

It's interesting to see a situation where the current Avatar receives the proper training when they are supposed to, rather than Aang needing to figure it out himself.

I love Legend of Korra. The legendaryness of The Last Airbender is likely to never be surpassed but Korra is just a good continuation of a world that has so much potential to be continued.

[@Thromash]

[@kiasms22]

[@L_H_Bruh]

Korra has its moments but it's not as good as atla imo, and there's a reason for that. ATLA pretty much had nickelodeon's support throughout its whole run, and it had its series planned out from the start. Meanwhile korra was the opposite, it was supposed to be a mini series with only 12 episodes, but nick renewed the show when they basically finished korras story, so they had to pretty much rush each season. Not to mention, they kept cutting the shows budget, and they even removed the show from their network when season 3 was still going, you could only watch new episodes of korra through their website at the time which was crazy, they were really trying to sabotage the entire avatar franchise. The only reason why nick cares so much about avatar now, compared to when korra was still airing, is because avatar became an even bigger franchise after it came over to netflix back in 2020

I can say that this series of the New Generation, might be the most interesting one out there and witness the new Avatar being Korra 🙂 so with the moment with Zuko’s mother, it’s sad that it can’t be animated but there are webcomics to physical comics that contain the story. I believe that there is a KZbin channel that cover the comic series that you both might like to check out after this series or whenever you can to discover what happen between OG Avatar and Korra timeline. Or watch a Timeline Video discussing the story at its fullest within the world of Avatar.

[@GirlofCulture]

And here we go. One of my favorite shows of all time. I love ATLA but i feel definitely a stronger connection with Korra personally, because we have much in common. Well i don't have a beautiful taint as she and no super powers but i am a hothead for sure and i did many stupid things when i was her age, that's also why i am less strict with her, because many fans disliked her as the new Avatar because she is the complete opposite of Aang for many reasons. And that is good if you ask me.

One of the few things i hated about the lok is that one of the first things they mention is that Sokka the last Backbender was DEAD. IMO This was completely unacceptable. Sokka doesn't get to die.

That’s fair. Although he’s not really dead, he just turned into the Sun 😜

Their joking bc of how the northern water tribe princess turned into the moon and so to contrast sokka turned into the sun

[@girlwithoutafairy]

Ugi or however it's spelled is not Appa's kid. Appa was the last of his species. Tenzin's bison and all others you see in this series are a genetically similar but district species. You can tell by the shape of their horns. They're different to how Appa's were shaped This is not a spoiler as it's never addressed in the series and is something the creators confirmed later

[@filipvadas7602]

The main problem people have with TLOK is that its riddled with missed potential. Which is a shame because the *setup* is GENUINELY FANTASTIC. Not only does it put Korra in a far more modern world where spirituality has been pushed to the side & forgotten, asking if the Avatar even has a place in this new world order. But even more fascinating is that Korra's Avatar journey has been SEVERELY undercut. The whole point is that the Avatar is supposed to go out into the world and find their own teachers, while also learning about the world they're supposed to care about. Its a *crucial* part of the journey and Korra's has been messed with by having teachers found *for her* And even then they're just teaching her how to fight, even compared to just Aang, she has no deeper understanding of the individual elements, so it makes total sense why Korra struggles with Airbending so much, as its an inherently spiritual/peaceful bending form. Hell, they spell out this point right at the start of the whole show! Mind you, again, this is a GOOD THING. This setup is GENIUS! We'll get there when we get there, but there's a reason people love to dogpile on this show and its not entirely unwarranted...

[@antoniogonzales1976]

Just to clear up some misinformation, ATLA's Toph was voiced by Jessie Flowers AKA Michaela Murphy while Korra is voiced by M-TV's Janet Varney.

[@smittaz]

I'm glad I didn't say anything with the legend of aang 😂

[@samuelclayhills3298]

Personally I could not really recomend the show with a straight face but I can't really tell anyone not to watch it. As much as I will air out my undying hatred for this show its not really genuine as personally its just kinda mid to me. I will clown on the writers when they muck somthing upp more so than with avatar because whoo boy do the mess upp at times. This isn't spoilers but don't hold your breath when it comes to Sokka and Suki because its not gonna be thing here. Ill get to Zuko if/when it becomes relevant. Well at least J K Simmons gets to carry this show. Also Amon is a pretty good villain despite the problems that come from him. Korra while not the most likeable isn't a completley hateable person but its a rocky thing.
