Korra grabbing Zaheer with the chain: “here’s ur earthly tether”

[@partypiano0729]

Literally though. In the previous episode there are close ups of ropes to the airship getting cut (untethered) - and then Zaheer flies. Zaheer talks about freedom then chains and jails people. Him getting chained and slammed and captured to the earth is all part of the irony. It's like a visual essay.

Korra's tear at the end shows us that her biggest fears have become true, because they don't need an avatar anymore. Every villain she has come across has been a threat to her identity, as Amon tried to take away her bending, Unalaq trying to destroy her connection to her past lives and Zaheer nearly destroying the avatar cycle. All the villains she has come across have made her think that is she really needed in the world as the avatar. Now she's there crippled, traumatised and had probably has PTSD. Then comes the airbenders telling her that they can maintain peace and balance, and they won't need her until she gets better and her biggest fears have come true.

[@k-rhynncyrhyss4691]

Indeed. Her headstrong personality got her into, and out of tons of dangerous and crappy situations. And after Season 3, she's earned my respect and admiration. Season 3 was definitely the best out of all 4 seasons. ATLA Book 2 and LOK Book 3 are the best of both series.

[@Ayoken007]

It was her headstrong attitude that was pretty off-putting. I blame the writing for a lot of it, especially in Book 2. There were times where she was so convinced she was right and it caused so many problems. She never quite stops being punch first, think later, but she does get better. Finding the balance in a strong abrasive personality like hers is difficult in terms of achieving a set amount of likeability.

[@rohanjaime2470]

@@ryanc3609 same thing goes for season 2 idk if it's because she's girl why the writers gave her more of a hard time than would to a male Avatar or if it was just the writing in general. They definitely did cause her to be hated. I think when all the connections to the other avatars were broken that's when ppl started hating her. To be honest I think that was intentional because seeing that technology and other things are being developed they're trying to say that their moving pass the avatar connection thing and moving forward from the past

[@fongbrandon]

@@Oscar-yx1xx Yes, Nick did a lot of shady things while this show was going on. If you do Google some information about it, it should be there. Basically Nick pulled funding for the show, promised more seasons only to go back on their word, to then again give more seasons, pull the show from Tv because they were uncomfortable with Korra and Asami being a thing. The studio interfered with the whole show which made the creators leave and go to Netflix.

[@andrewtetteh6677]

Zaheer was like mad scared like ozai running away. It’s all fun and games till they eyes glow.

[@TubezThe1]

This episode further proves my point that Zaheer could not beat Korra in a one-on-one fight. Literally every time they thought, there was some sort of handicap on her. First time, she got hit with a tranquilizer and couldn't move. Second time, she was in Platinum chains and was still holding her own. This time, she was chained up and has mercury in her veins, and what happens? She holds off poisoning and the Avatar stay with pure willpower, and when she finally goes in, yanks one of the chains straight from the side of the cave, knocks out two of them in the process, snaps Platinum chains what they're linked paper clips, and still damn near kills this wannabe air anarchist. Zaheer went through all this trouble because he knows damn well when it comes down to it, he can't beat her. And I honestly hope they use the here in a comic later on down the line and Korra addresses this exact point.

[@Kidapollo92]

Zaheer's line, "we lucky few, this band of brothers and sisters of anarchy," is an allusion to the line, "we happy few, we band of brothers," from the St. Crispin's Day Speech from William Shakespeare's Henry V. Korra's battle with Zaheer recalls several elements from the battle at Wulong Forest, such as the fact that both conflicts occurred in the Earth Kingdom in a field of rock columns, portions of which were used in offensive maneuvers. Additionally, both combatants in each fight were capable of flying by using airbending, like Aang and Zaheer, or firebending, like Ozai and Korra. Kya attempted to heal Korra after she was poisoned, without much success. This is the 100th episode of the franchise.

[@irecordwithaphone1856]

Pretty good 100th episode honestly

[@starvein8841]

I think it's incredibly impressive how Mako fared against Ming-hua(?). Like the gang here pointed out, he purposely avoided using lightning to trick her, and used his intellect rather than pure skill to defeat her. I think Mako *did* get lucky that she didn't have more easy access to water in the beginning of their fight, but it's seriously impressive Mako was able to 1v1 her, something *no one* else was able to do with any of the Red Lotus members.

It actually makes a lot of sense for lava bending to be a subset of earth bending. Lava is earth that has been heated to the point of melting and becoming liquid.

@@unlimited971 tbh you'd only need Earth skill to master it, lava is not at all like water, water flows smooth while lava is super viscous and chunky, which fits well with Earth as an element.
