@@miaksol True but I feel like after kuvira(I may have butchered the namd) messed up the swamp when she was messing with the spirit vines which could have led to the resident's dieing or having to move. Korra forgot to address that plot hole(other then toph talking about them abit but that was before the vines I think)

[@skorpthememer1601]

Since the Foggy Swamp people are based on real-life Appalachian/Deep Southern hillbillies (but also Southeast Asians such as the Vietnamese, as other commentators have now informed me), would that have made a hypothetical Foggy Swamp Korra adhere to the "Southern Belle" archetype? 🤔

I always thought that the one water bender left was that old blood bender lady, she was once a southern tribe water bender, captured then escaped so the fire nation thought she returned home and searched for her but due to the lack of documentation did not know this prisoners identity only that she was a water bender

[@comolodiriaerin7416]

Omgggg this makes so much sense!! I always wondered what “source” told them that there was still one water bender left in the southern water tribe 😮😮

[@benjaminaldismo6832]

That's probably the reason that guy killed Kataras mom instead of taking her captive like the rest. Hama displayed her bloodbending skills and they probably didn't want that to happen again, so they just killed her no questions asked when they thought she was Hama.

[@bransonjallim2620]

I heard Bc katara dad was searching for a water bender master for her

[@nanossquad1706]

Hama was, but eventually a another Waterbender was born like Katara and two younger girls after Katara. Even though they caught majority of Waterbender. Waterbenders could of always been Born by two nonbenders.

[@KacperMaster26]

[@bookworm7076]

Fantastic history lesson! Your channel is a real treasure!

[@marvin9409]

I just realized something: at the start of the show, Sokka was the only male left to defend the southern water tribe because all of the warriors left in order to fight in the war. At the beginning of S2 Pakku and some young men from the nothern watertribe left in order to help rebuild the their southern counterparts. As we see in TLOK the Southern Watertribe thrived because of it so here's the thing lol: obviously the women were left behind without the men so it's very likely that some women who thougt their husbands or bethroded died in war started to help, you know, 'repopulate' the south in order for their tribe and culture to survive. I'm obviously not saying all of them, most were probably single anyway or confirmed widows, but I'm 100% there had to be atleast one Instance where an already married southern water tribe wife started to lose hope her husband would return from the war and thus began a relationship with a nothern watertribe tribe member. Only for the husband to return and finding his wife having a new family 😂 I know it's cruel but I'd love to see the drama in that situation lmooo 😂😂

[@theanimeunderworld8338]

Of all the places for the southern immigrants could settle, why a swamp? Were there not any good islands to settle on?

[@Stargazer-ys5gz]

Because the swamp had lots of water and there not that many places to settle on

[@noahjohnson935]

The swamp had spiritual connections

[@redturtle234xd5]

The area outside the swamp was pretty much just earth in the earth kingdom with barely any water areas And the swamp had spiritual connections like @Noah Johnson said

[@peterg.j.macpherson2451]

Kyoshi Island seems to have a lot of non-bender people in blue? I feel like the air islands, Kiyoshi and the Foggy Swamp were a good place for Waterbenders to settle. Plus, the Northern Water Tribe initially emigrated to the North Pole from their homes in the north-central Earth Kingdom (there's a reason why Full Moon Bay exists)

[@svenbouman]

Btw They didnt searched for Katara... They searched for Hama that escaped. And Katara's mother thoughed they searched for Katara and said it was here. But since Hama could bloodbend, there was no reason of taking her back to prison and that was the reason why they killed her.

So since Princess Yue died, who became leader of the Northern Water Tribe after her father; and is Korra related to Yue somehow since her father was meant to the Norths chief but was disinherited?

[@yoloswaggins7121]

Yes I think Korra's Grandfather is Yue's uncle. Korra's Dad is Yue's cousin. Or maybe one extra generation. Basically Yue's dad would have died with no heirs and passed the throne to a brother who is Korra's ancestor.

In the comics there are two young waterbender girls but are they from the northern water tribe or from the southern. If they are from the southern things get complicated cause katara was supposed to be the last one.

[@salaharja3292]

I tell you why katarra and sokkas mother died ALL BECAUSE OF HAMA because since hama was imprisoned by the fire nation,she invented bloodbending,IF IT WASNT FOR HER INVENTING BLOODBENDING,the fire nation decided to kill all waterbenders years after hama freed herself yan rha led an army to kill the last waterbender in the south pole (katara) yhon rha was in kataras familys hut,yhan rha wanted to know who was the last waterbender demanded who it was,and kya sacraficed herself and said she was the watervender then yon rha killed kya.

[@hypermikey6993]

Wait since only katara and these 2 girls r the only known water benders at the time and korra is a southern right well we no she anit from katara well maybe one of these 2 girls.
