we're finally watching... | THE LEGEND OF KORRA [1x1-1x3] (REACTION)

[@besupaaa]

Just became a member so i can watch this. People hate on Korra but keep in mind that shes a teenager who grew up isolated. Characters need to have flaws so they can mature :)

[@jakealoidrag7670]

People are really surprised that a teenager acts like a teenager when they were raised as a child prodigy who's meant to save the world

[@Imadigga]

She’s still acting like a 12 year old and it really pisses me off sometimes at the start like bro you were there for two days and had a little temper tantrum that destroyed A 2000! YEAR OLD ARTEFACT DOES SHE HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT SHE JUST FUCKING DID like my god I get she’s a teenager but that doesn’t excuse her acting 4 years younger like a child that’s just pathetic not to mention she still could be taught by her parents she lived with her parents still did they just ignore her for the entire training and more on how it took two days to go baby mode even though her entire life so far was dedicated to training but now she thinks she can ace it in two days

[@kmjkmjkmj]

@Imadigga You apparently never met a 16 year old since you think they act protectively around artifacts. She acts like any sheltered sport prodigy I ever met. Advanced in the field she trained in and lacking in other ways because she wasn't raised around other "normal" kids but is convinced she knows it all because she never experienced setbacks.

[@1080lights]

@Imadigga That's ironic, because you write like a child.

[@aychelleff]

@Imadiggayou need to calm down lol you have the media literacy of a potato

[@CTInfinity]

I think the korra hate has cooled over time but people still remember it heavily. A lot of it came from people comparing it to the original series, and a lot of Korra’s writing is executed in a strange ways because of how Nickelodeon was approving them on a season by season basis essentially so they weren’t sure if they’d get more episodes. I personally love it and I’m hyped to see y’all’s reaction

[@wtimmins]

I think a big part of it is the tonal shift. A lot of folks wanted more ATLA and it just wasn't the same type of show, completely. Now, me, I love Legend of Korra, and I think the two series have enormous synergy; I like ATLA more because of stuff in LoK, and LoK thrives because of ATLA.

[@teraxe]

It is similar to the prequel hate, it had died down over time, and I bet the sequel hate will die down as well given time. But I remember so many people complaining that Korra is a Mary Sue.

[@MichaelTargaryen8809]

one thing ill mention right out the gate is that Tenzin as the child of Aang and Katara has the desire to be like his father but the temper and fierce heart of his mother, he's basically if katarra went around fighting her nature trying to be like Aang

[@justinehercthehuman]

Wow. Bridgette's damn observant for noticing Mako's eye colors changing. Didn't notice at all 😂

[@slackindj]

This is a correct color switch as they’re showing mako being “sick” over the thought of her on the team.

[@AL-fl4jk]

Ignore the haters, this show is great. Different from ATLA, but still great

[@JustAJinx-ci6hg]

Exactly. 9 times out of 10 haters are just mad cuz LoK isn't a carbon copy of ATLA... the mentality low key made me dislike ATLA a little bit.

[@johanluisrivas8016]

Same​@@JustAJinx-ci6hg

[@mackyronni]

The connection between Korra’s struggle to learn airbending after growing up isolated really highlights her lack of a sense of freedom she’s had since she was young. We get more of an explanation/backstory for this in later seasons but it’s important to note that before Aang, all avatars were sent to travel the world at 16 to learn the other elements and also make broader connections. Korra as a 17/18 year old is extremely stunted spiritually but by no fault of her own. I believe she also feels reasonably confined by her role as the avatar and the expectations she’s been facing since she was young. Most avatars get a normal childhood whereas Korra jumped straight into training. A lot of people say Aang is a kid that had to learn how to be the avatar and Korra had the opposite problem with coming to terms with her own individuality.

[@1080lights]

People talk about nostalgia for ATLA, but I have it for this series. I was the same age as Korra when it aired and instantly had a crush on this attractive and confident character, even when she was cocksure and short-tempered. Then my friends and I had watching parties in our college dorms as Season 2 aired, which was where I met my girlfriend at the time (she may or may not have had fairly similar qualities). It was the first series that I fully watched together with friends instead of talking about shows we watched on our own. I think the technological advancement makes sense. In the first series, the Fire Nation was already using airships and steam engines and now they have cars and radios 70 years later. If you consider our world from 1860 to 1930, that tracks pretty well.

[@JustAJinx-ci6hg]

Y'all didn't mention how yoked she is. Picking up 3 children AND a grown man like it was nothing XD

[@gandhialwaysleavesanonion679]

36:42 I think Cody's "damn" is about her strength haha

[@tehdipstick]

6:10 So apparently there was, at one point, an idea for a fourth book/season of Avatar: The Last Airbender that revolved around the search for Zuko's mom. This premise was reworked several times and turned into a feature-length animated movie, before eventually getting scrapped. Instead Nickelodeon chose to make a live action adaptation of the first season, and we ended up with the M. Night Shyamalan movie.

[@amekgomo4578]

One thing legend of korra had locked down is the villains

[@JustAJinx-ci6hg]

The music too.

[@Multxverse]

I just want to say that, excluding a part of S2, I appreciate Korra more and more as the years go on.

[@JackWitt-g9p]

Glad you've finally met everyone's favorite himbo Bolin.

[@LilSk1tty]

I actually have only seen the first 4 or 5 episodes of the first season. so im basically watching along with you guys

[@belbibolbo]

I only watched the first 2 episodes , so im on the same boat at you lol man, episode 3 would have sold me!

[@Hellothere-kl1xy]

while the show does have some… bumpy areas, the show is truly really good in the latter half

[@An0nymous_L0gic]

​​@@Hellothere-kl1xy yea it def got hurt by the studio only approving the show season by season. That's why it can feel rushed sometimes... they never knew if they'd get another season to flesh everything out

[@rjturbo3371]

😂u nvr continued 🤦🏾‍♂️ bro

[@slackindj]

39:09 so the music that’s playing just before here and anytime the equalists are in speech mode, it’s the music they played during the beginning of “into the inferno” of ATLA just with added flair/horns. That’s why it sounds so serious and intense :)

[@aychelleff]

I refuse to spoil anything but I’ll just say that, fifteen years later, this series still has my favorite ending. And that’s after watching shows like Better Call Saul, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and The Sopranos - Korra’s ending stands with the best of them. It meant so much to so many people, and it still does! I remember countless uploads of people having happy breakdowns 😂 I can’t wait for the two of you to experience this incredible series

[@t.c.thompson2359]

Under the bluster its clear that at least 60% of TLoK haters dislike the series because the main character is a girl, and even worse a teenage girl and her love life is a plot point. Oh no.

[@wtimmins]

'Not Soak-ah!' made me laugh out f'in loud. Man.

[@ElprincipeHamlet]

What i love the most of Korra, it's that they explain how the Avatar's cycle began and they did it magnificent. this show is like you said, it's good on its own way, it`s funny, entertaining and good plots.

[@skyereacts125]

jk simmons AKA omni man is a great choice for tenzin he does such a good job i think

[@antoniogonzales1976]

Timeline: it is 70 years from the time of Firelord Zuko's coronation until you see Korra taking her firebending finil exam.

[@ElprincipeHamlet]

hi guys, finally. i'm back now LOL HAPPY NEW YEAR buddies =)

[@DWill.93]

3:16 Wow. Very different mood to The Last Airbender intro😂 And for good reason😁

[@TheAfricanGrey]

What really surprised me about Korra was how dark it could get. I don’t know how they got some of this past Nickelodeon lmao but I’m very grateful they did.

[@Cherryberryfruitt]

slight spoiler warning ⚠️ its ridiculous how they practically have an on screen death but couldn't have an lgbtq relationship

[@Akatosh-r4c]

​@@Cherryberryfruitt well, pederasty is bad

[@TheAfricanGrey]

@Cherryberryfruitt True. So it’s ok for kids to watch (spoiler warning) a su!cide, someone suffocating to death, and someone’s head blowing up in a metal ball but 2 girls being in a relationship is where they draw the line lmao. Ridiculous.

[@Cherryberryfruitt]

@@TheAfricanGrey(more spoilers lol) tbh i watched tlok before avatar and i only watched it because of a tiktok edit of korrasami lol. Watched 4 seasons just for them to hold hands?? At least it lead me to watching atla, love tlok but atla is amazing

[@Chronal-Rend]

Well in a technical sense I think only the first two seasons actually aired on TV, The rest of the seasons were only available on the Nickelodeon website.

[@DmanUNT2014]

Looking forward to the Korra reactions! Let's go!

[@belbibolbo]

37:44 😂😂😂😂 IM CRACKING UP SO BAD

[@aychelleff]

I’m not here to get political but I will just say that choosing to make Korra a brown teenage girl was a daring choice by the showrunners… and it’s largely the reason people are haters 🤷🏻‍♀️ it’s also much more serious - there’s no consistent comic relief, and eventually Korra is really going through it lol she’s a sheltered, boisterous person which leads to lots of hijinks, and instead of enjoying it, lots of viewers choose to judge her harshly. I also think too many people went into it expecting the exact same feelings and tropes they got from the original

[@anthonydean1743]

First 3 episodes introduce you to 4 of my top 5 Characters in Korra. 1. Mako named for Iroh's original voice actor & voiced by Bud Bundy from Married with Children. 2. Wait til Season 3 the best season. 3. Amon voiced by Steve Blum voice of Wolverine in multiple animated series, Zeb in Star Wars: Rebels & Mandalorian, Orochimaru, Zabuza, 3rd Tsuchikage & a few other characters in Naruto. 4. Lin voiced by Frau from the Austin Powers films. 5. Bolin voiced by P.J.Byrne who was Adam Bourke in The Boys.

[@CommadoreGothnogDragonheart]

Technologically, the show makes sense. The first Avatar series was the equivalent to the early to mid 1800s, so it makes sense that 100 years later we'd be in the 1920s. The Korra series is very different than Ang's, but equally awesome!

[@slackindj]

“I’m a little broke” XD fact scootchie gets me every time. YEAH I SEEN EM…

[@lornepribbeno3760]

There are comic books that deal with many incidents in Team Avatars lives after the war. One is to figure out what happened to Zuko's mom.

[@terryjohnson5579]

Also Meelo a damn menace.

[@Ultimaniacx4]

36:09 Mako's so open with his feelings with this girl he just met. Poured his heart out about his love for his brother after she just yelled at him.

[@Alphakobra24]

7:47 we don't ever mention that movie here

[@FluorescentPhnix1]

I don't know if you noticed but when Bolin was having Pabu doing tricks they were sitting under a statue of Zuko. Also i'm pretty satisfied with the technological advancement considering 70 years have passed compared to our own technological growth. Especially considering Aang and the others worked hard the rest of their lives bringing the world together.

[@earendilthemariner5546]

We went from just barely flying to landing on the moon in 66 years so, its not out of the question

[@_god_6321]

Ive never clicked on a video so fast

[@TheFireMonkey]

Hard to be sure, but a Yuan in the real world is about 14 cents US, so that would be $4200 US - and Korra seems to fit with 1920s so, adjusting for inflation, that would be in the $60,000 today. But that is very thin ice going from animation to real world.

[@cjjackson2423]

I know this off subject but brother that hand tattoo🔥🔥🔥

[@DG-nk7jo]

I haven’t watched the Avatar series but, I’ve seen the Legend of Korra and I did enjoy it. It seemed more mature than what I have seen of Avatar.

[@pazz]

There was definitely more hate for TLOK when it was airing. But now, I think most Avatar fans accept it. Season 2 is mid imo, but season 3 is one of the best seasons of animated television, period.

[@blackpaw29]

Yah, Korra has its ups and downs, but S3 is my favourite out of all Avatar Seasons.

[@queenchels7669]

Never clicked on a video so fast ever. Feels like I've been waiting an eternity for yall to watch Korra lol 😂 I love this show so much and I'm sure you guys will too❤

[@Loffels]

So excited for you guys to get through season 1. The whole show is great, but season 1 set the bar super high. Hoping the next Avatar series doesn't disappoint.

[@ryan_the_witch]

I can’t wait till you see the reference to the first season in Korra season 4

[@Cherryberryfruitt]

1:12 yeah its super annoying how it feels kinda bumpy season to season. I think they pulled it off decently but i would've loved to how it would've been if they were able to plan properly :(

[@wakkadakka9192]

0:41 "people shit on it for no reason" - To be honest there are plenty of reasons. But it all comes down to how you perceive the Korra series. If we take it as a standalone series, then it's actually good and quite well made. But if we take it in comparison with the Aang series, then it loses in everything, especially in the development of the story and characters. Most people were expecting a direct sequel of the Aang series (not the Aang story itself, but the same type of storytelling), and they got a separate series with a completely different type of storytelling, and they were very disappointed. So again, it all comes down to how you personally perceive it.

[@zachtheraven5007]

Excited love this show so much

[@EM-fl5od]

It would be really tragic if Korra was somehow Aang’s daughter because that would mean he died while Katara went into labor.

[@reysgotplans5005]

I'm so glad you watched 3 as well 😊 really hope you love this series 😁

[@cloudwatcher608]

I’m so excited for you guys, I hope you love this show as much as I do!

[@andalilbitqueer]

*slight spoilers* I'm really interested to see how you guys like this show, though I do like it, the show is pretty breakneck-paced compared to Avatar, and while most fans like that, I kinda just enjoy the slow less important "filler" episodes in ATLA and I feel like you guys had the a similar experience too mine than most other reactors I've seen.

[@njamesp]

Let’s Go! Actually made my day ☺️

[@niklstaples89]

read the comics if you wanna find out what happened to zuko’s mom.

[@andybarber8898]

Yay! I misses the avatar window in my late teens, so my first series was Korra then I went back to ATLA. I think BOTH series as re masterpieces in their own way, especially season 3 of Korra. And while I liked the humor of ATLA ,Korra had more traumatic experiences requiring complicated healing, nit any kind of quick fix. PTSD, Depression, and world politics are all on the docket and they handle them very well.

[@waximan1376]

Cant wait for season 3 😂😂😂

[@ImPhoebe]

Hell yeah, enjoy the ride guys! I'm so hyped for you two to experience this one. Love from Belgium

[@Jakarib27]

The only people who don’t like this show are the people that just simply can’t get over their nostalgia of ATLA lol. Plain and simple. Either that, or they’re just sexist/misogynystic and don’t realize it lol

korra never had a seres bible like atla so the season by season approval is what stopped it from having a planned out story which is why they didn't have time to plan like they did with the original with deadlines and stuff

The reason Korra looks like Kataara is because the following Avatar looks like the person they loved the most in their previous life.

[@Ultimaniacx4]

Season 1 is pretty universally seen as great. It's season 2 that problems start happening that makes the show less fun.

[@reeeyou]

Yuhhhhhhssssss!!! I actually love LOK more than ATLA. I connect with korra because i was actually eerily similar to Korra in behaviour in my teen years, and my family dynamics is EEEEEERILY similar to Tenzin’s.

OMG OMG OMG might have to join patreon for this one 😂 I know it might be controversial but personally, I love Korea more than ATLA.
