Shoutout to Pudgey for being so genuine and brave in her recovery and sharing her story with us❤

[@ncard00]

Car accidents shouldn’t happen, cause cars should be automated, and there should be as few of them as possible, transportation should be on foot, bikes, public transit, and only “green” planes and ships overseas, where trains can’t go.

[@longstrider2734]

​@ncard00 fuck that. That sounds absolutely miserable. How about people learn to live 30mins without a cell phone in their hand while driving instead of restricting peoples choice of movement/transit.

[@XicD]

@@longstrider2734walkable cities are what people strive for, they are the future. So no, its not miserable if everything is in walking distance

[@mew2.025]

ATLA Toph: Do you really think friendships can last more than one lifetime? LOK Toph: Nice to see you again Twinkle-toes.

[@hazzenko_]

The same happens when Roku befriended Gyatsu, who then befriended/teaches Aang.

[@pabloc8808]

Say what you will about LOK, this payoff is high on the list of reasons why it's worth watching

[@keanancupido]

Oh man, I really felt for Pudgey! I'm really happy that you've overcome that hurdle in your life. And that is the great thing about Korra, we've all gone through such a lot and we can really connect to what she went through. We're happy to have you both reacting to our favourite shows and sharing this with us. We're a real Spartan and Pudgey fam!! ❤❤❤

[@LeChina]

Pudgy's emotional awareness is through the roof, same with sparty's combat/situational awareness. Great team👍🏿

[@bananies12]

You're awesome, Pudgey! Wishing you continued healing both mentally and physically 🙏 Just a quick note about mercury poisoning. Not only does she have regular PTSD from going through something traumatic, but the mercury enhanced it. To summarize, it can cause 1) depression 2) paralysis 3) hallucinations 4) organ damage (which Katara stated she has). She was indeed paralyzed from the mercury not just from the fear. This represents how both physical and mental blocks can go hand in hand especially for someone like Korra that relies so much on her physicality. The longer it took for her body to physically heal, the worse her mindset got. A more simplistic way of looking at it is like if Korra were a pro athlete that had a severe injury and took a long time to recover. They not only struggle physically but will have that hesitation due to fear of getting injured again and failing their teammates and themselves. They can seem out of practice or out of sync and it takes time to get back that old mojo if it happens at all.

[@needyverse]

I believed the way LoK handled Korra’s storyline and trauma was really well done, but I don’t have a shared experience that’s as similar to her as what you have just shared Pudgey. Thank you for sharing this information, I could see you were feeling strongly during this episode, and I’m relieved to hear that the LoK creators did not fail to reflect this experience appropriately.

[@withxoutxlife]

Thank you for sharing about some of the trauma you've endured, Pudgey. I love how much empathy you both have for Korra. Some reactors don't really get how strong of an effect trauma and PTSD can have on someone, and how long lasting its effects can be. I think Korra's journey this season is a more accurate portrayal to how that looks and feels, compared to what is often seen in this kind of media.

[@richadoruisuthegod3674]

this episode hit hard as someone who was bed ridden then wheelchair bound after being sick and honestly I can relate to korra's frustration since I am still healing years later

[@bradybunch4707]

Best of luck and keep of the good work

[@patrickwaldeck6681]

Hearing Korra say "I'm so tired" really breaks my heart.

[@n03xcape]

I really love how in airbender aang first discovers toph through a vision in the swamp. And now in Korra she discovers toph living in the swamp. Such a good throwback and it makes so much sense.

[@ayoubazahaf1511]

Korra alone is one of the best episodes. Never thought I would cry while watching it.

[@Leon.27.06]

throwback when Toph asked Aang "do you really think friendships can last more than one lifetime?" so he held her hands and replied with "I don't see why not" little did she know she was gonna have that kind of friendship in the future 🥺

[@nicholassmith7984]

I like that you didn't pre-empt Toph's reveal like many other reactors do. It made the reaction much more satisfying!

[@Chronal-Rend]

What do you mean preempt tophs reveal? Never heard that wording

[@forrdera]

@@Chronal-Rendsome other reactors put subtitles on and the subtitles tell you who’s speaking. So if they had the subtitles on they would’ve known it was toph speaking before the face reveal. That’s what he means

[@benlezmh1835]

@@forrderaPretty sure they removed the name from the subtitles for a while now

[@cloudwatcher608]

It’s kind of interesting how most avatars are told they are the avatar when they are 16, so hopefully they have “found themselves” to a degree and can handle the pressure, then they travel the world to learn bending. Korra discovered for herself that she was the avatar and learned the bending (mostly) so easily and now she is traveling the world to find herself. It’s a role reversal that Avatar loves to do, and it always works so well

[@mimusmortuis1633]

How ironic that Zaheer took on the guise of Amon in the season 3 finale. "I told you I would destroy you"... He was still there, stalking her to make her life a living hell, even after his own death.

[@scaredscorpion]

I think as far as Korra is aware Amon's still out there. They blew up in the middle of the ocean

[@what.are.you.doing.stepbro]

Korra's character development in this season is really great

[@ImJasonD]

Sorry to hear about your experience Pudgey. I really hope you’re well on the road to recovery 💚

[@dariusthegr8one81]

Always loved this ep. That “nice to see u again, twinkle toes” always gets me. Mostly cuz I’ve always loved Toph the most out of the avatar gang.

[@JustZy]

"Korra Alone" is a nice parallel to "Zuko Alone"

[@GeovanedeJesus]

I’m with Pudgey on this. Although Kuvira doesn’t get do be a villain in the same magnitude and imponence as Zaheer, Book 4 is my favorite. And the reason for that is exactly how human everyone is portrayed. Korra’s journey get to a point where you not only see, but also feel how much she has grown. And I hope Pudgey continues to get better, you are such a sweet person, you deserve all the best, and also really nice of Spartan on being on your side through that. When book 4 came out, a lot of people started hating on Korra for being so weak, but at that time I was facing a burnout and must say, this storyline really got to me. Not only that, it helped me to heal. So I hope it also has the same effect on you :) All the best!

[@Kev2000]

The best character development episode of Korra. The episode was done so well. Still feels so emotional every time I watched it. Korra went through a lot physically and mentally after the finale of Book 3.

[@rogerupnow365cabrera9]

It’s nice to still have good content reactors on KZbin I appreciate you guys 🔥🙏🏽👌🏽

I never feel related to a character like Korra. She reasonate with me so much through her struggles. Her journey give me motivation for my own

[@Julini89]

I gotta give a big shoutout to Pudgey for sharing that story personally I had a very close friend going through something similar and seeing him going through his recovery to where he is now is one of the most heartbreaking/heartwarming experience i have been a part of, but it overstated how tough it is to recover from something like and sharing that with someone new is hard as well so doing that for the whole world to see I cant even imagine. So again shoutout to Pudgey for being brave enough to do that! all love and best wished from me! ❤

[@WestBuswell]

"some friendships are so strong, they can transcend lifetimes"

[@BlueRoseWolfie]

You guys nailed it with PTSD. I find it fascinating since they designed this age to be like how it was during the industrial revolution and world war 1 like, which is when we got the famous name Shellshock to describe PTSD for soldiers. When soldiers came back they were broken and could not really return to society. PTSD was and still is for life for some. This series really handles PTSD well for me. I suffer from my own personal PTSD from past experiences. And also yay for TOPH!!! Besides Sokka she was the only one of the old Aang gang we didn't meet yet. All the hugs Pudgey!! You are beautiful and brave, greatest respect. This episode and the rest of the season are going to be great! You are right it is so good for what prteviously happened, not just season 3 though. Korra's entire journey has shaped her experience up to now.

[@DarthKay093]

I felt so much watching this episode since I was in a car accident and my hip bone was hurt but after 18 months of rehab and WANTING to get better I am almost fully healed

[@tambourinesmusicmachine]

Rewatching the video after knowing the struggles Pudgy has gone through hits even harder. Seeing how she reacts to certain lines Korra says during her rehab. About not being able to feed or dress herself, or able to do much of anything. And being so tired. Tired of hurting. Pudgy's experience helps elevate these scenes in a way no other review has.

[@MrLuisRamirezC]

I think the biggest difference and what made the battle with Zaheer so harsh is that Korra was literally seconds away to be unalived. With Amon she lost her bending (sense of self) and with Unalaq/Vaatu she lost her connection to the avatar spirit (sense of purpose), but she still "got through it". And those were pretty bad too, but Zaheer literally was so close to end her life and not only that; all the physical repercussions (like not being able to walk). If you add up the fact that she saw how everyone's lives were moving on and she wasn't... It's really a lot to take in and get through. That's why I have so much more respect for Korra after her journey through book4. Also, thanks Pudgey for sharing your story with us 🧡 you're such a brave woman. Sending you tons of love and light ❤️‍🩹

[@flowersinapril4952]

Love how Korra Alone mirrors Zuko Alone. The cutting of the hair, the change in sense of self. It’s absolutely amazing to watch

[@ligli500]

Oh Pudgey! I totally feel you and wish I could give you a big hug (: I got a really bad double concussion 3 years ago and completely relate to this episode of Korra + Pudgey's story too. Feeling betrayed by your body, needing to relearn how to do the most basic things (for me I needed to relearn how to talk, get my eyes accustomed to any kind of light, how to move my eyes back and forth, people's names, etc.), feeling like everyone is moving on while you're stuck, etc. etc. I'm still recovering and some days are harder than others. PTSD is so easily dismissed and misunderstood, but I hear you Pudgey and believe in you! (: I love how much you empathize with Korra and how you knew (even before seeing this episode) what was happening to her because you picked up on the little clues in the previous episodes. You can see when others are hurting and that's a pretty strong superpower (:

[@landendrake]

This episode always brings tears to my eyes

[@emanueldornelles3177]

Whenever I need some comfort I start watching this season from this episode on. It always makes me cry, but it is such a great episode. Damn, I even criei watching the reaction

[@krystaloftheshores]

Keep in mind, Korra is still recovering physically. She may be on her feet and can take care of herself, but that doesn’t mean she has the full strength and coordination that she had before. And if you take another look, she has less muscle than she had before Zaheer ran her into rock bottom.

[@Mrryn]

And classic pitfalls of physical therapy - patients' frustration at lack of fast progress and feelings of inadequacy, as well as trying to rush back into normal physical activity too quickly after crossing the first hurdles which leads to easy re-injury (one step forward, two steps back). Considering her nature even back in season 1, wanting to be in the thick of things from go and taking on baddies head on and being a physical specimen and prodigy, the process had to have been amped up significantly for someone like Korra. And not even mentioning the mental and emotional hurdles at this point that she struggles to reconcile with to the point of basically trying to run forward as if, by not looking at them, they just won't be there, yet continue to stumble and trip over them. She's headstrong and prideful, paradoxically having both a grand sense of self-worth yet having an incredibly shallow sense of self-worth at the same time - believing that, as the Avatar, she is and should be the best and greatest force for good and should and can do it all, but simultaneously feeling absolutely worthless if she can't do anything she believes to be Avatar-related to the point of being angry and defensive and rash or depressed and lost.

[@Nani.101]

I also think it's important to mention that, of all the elements, Korra currently struggles the most to defend herself against Earth. She feels uprooted, that she isn't grounded in who she is and who she is supposed to be anymore.

[@BeAuTyLoVe17]

Thanks for sharing Pudgey

[@TopNotchWatcher87]

I related to Korra too, and you Pudgey. I was hit by a drunk driver in 09, and I still live with daily pain from it, and never fully will recover. That being said, I’m a stronger, more grateful person to live through that, and it changes you. You’re very strong Pudgey, you got this girl. Hope you’re feeling better ever day!

[@CinemaLtd]

Korra fighting herself in this episode reminded me of Naruto meditating at the waterfall of truth and facing his evil self

[@needyverse]

Remember, the animals in this universe are a combination of animals (except the Earth King’s bear 😂), so the puppy that was just a puppy appearing for Korra was a good indication something else was going on. Like Wan Shi Tong the owl, or the foxes in his library, or Hei Bai the panda… the ocean and moon spirits as koi too!

[@another_julia]

how many times have i watched this and never realized this 😅

[@DwaynesWorld007]

"Nice to see you again twinkle toes".... I always tear up at this moment I've been waiting since the start for you guys to feel this interaction.

[@murilowsful]

Pudgey is so so sweet ❤❤ i almost cried when you guys mentioned the accident, stay strong pudg

[@caeruXXI]

Very insightful commentary by Pudgey there at the end. Good thing you've overcomed your struggles even though no one is ever fully healed from such traumatic experiences it shows what you've achueved the fact that you both have this channel and have your good sense of humor. Of course we don't how deep the hole goes, but any struggle overcomed deserves to be celebrated.

[@carlosbermudez537]

Blessings and prayers to you Pudgey for sharing your personal story with us. It makes watching this channel a privilege. Great work. 🙏🏼

[@sahlysalman8851]

It's hard seeing Korra like this... loved the reaction of you guys as usual... keep it up

[@JustDriftin]

If you remember, the very first time we saw Toph the previous avatar had a vision of her in the wild while the team was dealing with their own trauma. This was a wonderful way to reintroduce her into Korra 💜

[@trevorgerstenberg405]

Pudgey analyzed the shit out of this. 👍🙌

[@RanticProductions]

Book 4 is MY favorite so you wouldn't be alone in that Pudgey!

[@NFC37]

I loved seeing the evolution in Spartan’s reactions to Korra’s inner struggles the more the episode went on!! Great to see that growing appreciation and empathy from someone who wouldnt necessarily relate in the way Pudgey (sadly 😔hope it’s getting better) does for example

[@Saphthings]

I love how Toph said nice to "see" you. Making a blind joke like she always did lol

[@cloudwatcher608]

I’ve never dealt with any sort of debilitating disease or injury, but I recognize how well this episode portrays it. Since we are used to main characters bouncing back from crazy situations all the time, it can seem a bit contrived that Korra is so affected by what Zaheer did to her, but I think it is completely appropriate. She was poisoned, forced to put not only herself in jeopardy but the entire Avatar cycle; then nearly suffocated, completely helpless in the state that she should be the most powerful. This all happens while she thinks her dad was just killed trying to protect her, by the way. I don’t care what anyone says, this show and the character of Korra are both amazing.

[@streamspoart2671]

"Do you really think friendship can lasts more than one lifetime?" Toph finally got the proof

[@needyverse]

Toph appearing made me cry a lot when this aired

[@BrianZatzke]

Thank you for sharing your story Pudgey. I can’t imagine what having to go through something like that. This is one of my favorite episodes. I get ready once you hear Twinkle Toes.

[@joshuawells835]

"Do you really think friendships can last more than one lifetime?" 75 years later "Nice to see you again, Twinkle Toes." The writers of this show are geniuses.

[@stressyspaghetti2445]

I'm so glad you had subtitles off for this cause they ruin the reveal. Maybe some tough (toph) love is what korra needs to heal?

[@naruchancutie1]

You guys are amazing. I love how open Pudgey is and how supportive Spartan is of her. Enjoyed watching your reaction (and discussion) as usual

[@gamerex9378]

This episode was such a Mic drop moment for me when I first watched it.

[@MK-to9mx]

Book 4 was really good up until they cut the budget mid season. You can literally feel it drop off mid season, which is sad cause it really had soo much potential.

[@daekry]

true, but they still manage to stick the landing in spite of it all

[@mmxxiii9503]

Is good to see you again Toph Pudgey's case reminded me of something that happened to me years ago, the only difference is I was a pedestrian

[@FatLittleButterfly]

Korra whole life was being the Avatar, believing its her duty to bring peace and balance to the world. After she got paralysed and almost killed, she lie in bed getting news that the world is fine and dainty without her there... What if the villains were right all along? The Avatar wasn't relevant anymore.. I can't even imagine how she must have felt those 3 years

[@avatarkana1161]

The toph scene gives you the chills! When I first watched it, I was going crazy!

[@619Slipk]

This start of the season is so Fight club First Korra joins an underground fight club, then start getting her a** kicked by her inner Tyler

[@quentinboswell6720]

I'm so glad that you don't watch with subtitles. you have no idea how many english speaking people react to this with subtitles and get spoiled on the Toph reveal.

[@lilPavs13]

you two are becoming my favorite reactors, cheers yall

[@Josephryker]

Thank you so much for sharing your story ❤

[@acaciopoliveira]

This is also one of the best episodes in Avatar... just because... Toph is here!... The "Oki Wan Master Jedi" Toph :) ... Thanks for Pudgey for having confidence in sharing a bit of is struggle, thats not something that everyone does, so best wishes in the process of overcoming something that requires lots of strenght, support and understanding... It shows that Spartan is always there for is Pudgey!

[@rudygarcia8375]

Hey Spartan and Pudgey! Love all the work you guys do to make these fantastic reactions! Just wanted to say that if you haven't considered doing the Infinity Saga for the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) Id highly recommend doing that when you get the chance. There are some really great spinoff shows like "Loki" which just aired its season 2 finale and it was AMAZING!!! Either way, thanks for all your hard work putting out these reactions!

[@hasicazulatv2078]

Shes suffering from PTSD Edit: she broke her legs when she landed directly on her feet fighting zaheer it practically paralysed her legs

[@mistrants2745]

To me, book 3 was the best, but the beginning of book 4 was the best couple of episodes to me.

Pudgy is right amon took the three powers she had vattu took away all the avatar sprit guides and zaherr made her afraid

[@KillaMaNilla92]

you have to consider she has dealt with a lot and literally almost died. Mental and physical damage Book 3 is Spartan but Book 4 is 1000% Pudgey we love you and thanks for sharing you are fighter and a survivor

Pudgey you strong woman 🎉🎉🎉

[@Jaggaraz218]

"Sounds like Hamas" Spartan 2023

[@digitaladventurer2142]

Yeah I mean Toph would only be early 80's here so obviously she would be alive, especially since we know powerful earth benders in particular have long lifespans. Minor spoiler but Sokka would probably have been alive too if not for a certain incident shortly after Korra was found to be the new Avatar.

[@justin.e249]

I'm w Pudgey on this! Book 4 is my favorite too!!!!

[@tealbrave]

I’m never up this late to see the premier! Been waiting for this episode!!!

[@universal1771]

I don't understand what you mean by Korra darkness considering she never lost control of her avatar state like aang did. Korra PTSD was easily shown in the last episode of book 3. She couldn't even walk.

[@muchuchuroo]

Twinkletoes!

[@adk7165]

Spartan really is the most stereotypical version of a man, isn't he? Absolutely emotionally unaware and constantly criticizing women in the show about not being conventionally attractive. (freaking out over Jenora shaving her head and not wanting to see her with shaved head even though that was literally a HUGE step for her character, saying he liked Korra's long hair more even though again her cutting it symbolized importance) I'm shocked someone as sensitive as Pudgey can be with him.

[@johanluisrivas8016]

Easy, you don't know him.

[@SRFAA]

You're focusing a lot on hair.

[@kevintapia5651]

Haha I relate to Spartan here. I embrace being a stereo typical guy and see things differently. It takes a right girl for us to see that emotional perspective. Perfect example of yin and yang. Better together and that compliments our differences.

[@louisst-amand9207]

Do you listen to the discussions?

[@ygkemosabi8280]

also there is a reason stereotypes exist, how many times in your life do you need to be told they never tell the whole story lol

I am disappointed in you guys! You really should've known it was Toph a lot sooner

[@aubryellaotero1064]

An important detail in this episode is that Korra stays in contact with Asami. Asami is the only person Korra feels like she can talk to and write letters to.
