There are several problems with video. The two biggest that stand out: 1. Only the Avatar can energy bend. Aang was gifted this ability from a lion turtle. What we saw in Korra was a form of blood bending. 2. Kuvira was only able to beat Korra because she was weakened. Otherwise Kuvira needed help from a giant mecha to stand a chance.

only somewhat to the second one

[@stefan3597]

Their final fight was still pretty close tho, the machine exploding is what made korra win cuz kuvira's weapon was destroyed. About the energybending, currently in time only the avatar can. But if someone else were to visit the lion turtle they too could learn it, right?!

[@816Jayy]

@@stefan3597 Korra was getting her butt whooped in underground fighting tournaments, by her sparring partners, and random street thugs. Kuvira knew this going in, which was the only reason she was confident she could win. After recovering from Zaheer's metal poisoning, she never quite made it back to 100%, even by the finale. Also, Korra didn't use Avatar State. It's assumed only Avatars can energybend due to them being part spirit. Raava's spirit gives the Avatar a connection to all the spiritual energy. However, there still appears to be some indirect ways non avatar benders can affect energy through their bending. Like Jinora and Unalaq for example.

[@tgfs238]

@@stefan3597 If korra was around water it's be no contest tbh.

[@islandsunset]

Unalaq used water bending to vanquish the spirits. Wasn't it a form of energy bending? When Korra lost her memory, the old lady fire bender used fire to read up on Korra's spirit and energy to determine that her spirit was damaged by a dark spirit. That energy reading was a small scale energy bending.

@@JA-dy4xo he used bloodbending to disrupt the flow of energy through the body and close some chakras thus preventing the bender from bending but my real question is that healing by waterbending works in a similar fashion (both involve redirecting chi paths) so theoretically if done correctly,a waterbender could restore a person's bending if they lost it by bloodbending so Katara should have managed to heal Korra

[@jemseyner]

I like both Atla and Lok but i gotta say, even though Lok showed more of the subcategories of the 4 main elements, I'd much prefer seeing benders fight with variety in their movements and attacks rather than what I can only describe as a boxing match but with elements thrown in for dramatic effect...

[@olamideoladoyinbo8220]

[@12undeadleader]

@Jmt1000 Im not a fan of LOK or ATLA. This is purely objective because I got to the party late-- I watched them both blind roughly last year. and the only thing about LOK that I disliked was the tropes and the fact that at sometimes what they were trying to show wasn't properly conveyed. The story went A to B. it wasn't as over-arching as what ATLA was trying to do. however, again that doesn't mean it's 'bad writing' The implications of that means the story is obscure and hard to follow. I would argue that LOK has a story easier to follow and ATLA.

[@816Jayy]

So many problems with this video... 1. New Bending concepts: Avatar had just as many if not more new bending concepts in their generation. Metal Bending, Energybending, Bloodbending, Facebending, Lightning Redirection... All of the examples you provided were basically expansions of these concepts. However, Avatar not only created new concepts for their generation, but the entire platform of bending in general across the board. 2. Amon didn't energybend. He used Bloodbending to permanently block the chi paths in the body. Which was easily undone by Aang's energybending. 3. Chi Blocking is an ancient art that predates Korra and Avatar(and was used in both shows)... So why are you still giving Korra credit for this? 4. Probending is not a new concept: Earth Rumble in Avatar was basically the same concept(there was even a character based off a WWE superstar), but only for earthbenders. Korra basically expanded on this concept to include other benders, since Republic City had benders from all nations. 5. Korra was weakened when she fought Kuvira, and Kuvira knew this since she had intel. She quite literally mentioned it during their bout("I know you're a little rusty"). At that point, Korra had lost to all of her sparring partners, fighters in underground earthbending tournaments, and to random street thugs. Their final battle inside of the giant mecha(after Korra gained back most of her mojo) was MUCH closer, and comparable to Aang's fight with Ozai. And no Avatar State was used in that fight. 6. Lavabending isn't a new concept in Korra: Avatar Roku, Kyoshi and Szeto were all shown lavabending in Avatar. 7. Aang didn't need a glider to fly. At least not once he mastered his Avatar State. He flew all throughout his fight with Ozai in his Avatar State. 8. Korra didn't show skill with all four elements when she was first discovered. It was only three elements. She had no skill or ability with airbending, and her spiritual connection was even worse. It took Aang less than a year to master the remaining three elements including his Avatar State at the age of 12. Which is far more impressive. Korra didn't master three elements until she was 16 and couldn't get passed her airbending and avatar state blocks, which resulted in outside forces needing to unlock those for her(Amon and Aang). 9. Korra needed to use energybending to defeat Vaatu because Raava had been stripped from her body. Aang along with other Avatars have been able to face Vaatu and other spirits with only the elements. The bending was better in Avatar since they actually incorporated real martial arts into the concepts of bending in general. Korra moved away from that in exchange for sharp punches and jabs, which made the bending look visually less pleasing. Now, this wasn't the case for all the bending in the show, but at the start they attempted to downplay this concept. There was also a whole lot less grandiose bending in Korra like what we witnessed in Avatar. Splitting cities in half, erupting volcanoes or launching numerous houses with a single flex. Korra expanded more on the concepts that were already introduced, but Avatar still edges them out with doing things better on a fundamental level and being the more inventive/diverse.

[@chrisik8217]

Damn....... You did a video on this once? Or you're like the greatest avatar fan on youtube 😁 Well done 👏

[@weakestimmunesystem]

And your completely right. I thought about the last point before i even clicked in. There was no skill or grace in which benders used their elements in korra other than the metal bending dancers

[@816Jayy]

@Lance Nielsen ​ I understand that there's a difference in Zaheer and Aang's flying ability, but that isn't what the narrator claims at 9:26. Aang doesn't need a glider or any form of aid to achieve flight. The avatar state provides self sustaining flight as we witnessed in his final battle with Ozai.

[@816Jayy]

@TuberJustAnotherYT , Aang mastered earth and firebending by the final episodes. Toph told him he still needed some work with his earthbending, but that does not mean Aang hadn't mastered it. They were still preparing him to face Ozai. A big thing we learn in Avatar is how there is always room for improvement(Katara for example learned a whole lot more about waterbending despite becoming a master under Pakku's tutelage). At that point Aang understood the fundamentals behind both earth and firebending. Neutral jing was the primary skill, according to King Bumi, which he showcased in his bout with Ozai. And the Firebending Masters(The Dragons) taught both Zuko and Aang the principles behind firebending. By the finale Aang had acquired skills that not even some grandmaster earth and firebenders could perform, or understood. He wasn't as good as Zuko or Toph, or even Katara in their respective elements(at least not before he fully unlocked his avatar state), but those three are considered the best of their generation... And technically he didn't really need to have mastered them at that point since he mastered his avatar state in the final battle, which basically imparts him with all the skills and knowledge of countless masters anyway. He didn't have full access to this until the final episode.

[@x97k8]

Lmfo you're so wrong Korra master the elements before age 12 she literally born with 3 TF you talking about her spiritual connection is better than any avatar there has been now the portal is open she have spiritual energy all around her which make her avatar state more OP and yes quick jabs n punching style bending was necessary in Korra it's the future n enemy's are quick n powerful why you want them to be doing special form just to bend??

[@Scorpio3002]

That's the point, though. Like everything else in the world of avatar, bending has changed with the times. Instead of being taught exclusively in dojos that adhere to ancient forms and traditions, bending is absorbing influences and adapting to different environments like street fights and sporting events, much like Bruce Lee and MMA fighters have innovated real martial arts. Bolin even spells this out when Korra uses a "traditional" earth bending style within a pro bending environment, saying that all her extraneous movement leaves her wide open for an attack. Bolin is actually my favorite bender in the show to watch, because they do such a good job of animating his boxing/MMA style of contained, efficient movement; plus, high-level boxing technique doesn't get nearly enough love in movies and TV, despite being every bit as deep and elegant as eastern martial arts.

[@nagmamahalbalagtas]

@@Scorpio3002 That was not the way bending works I think. If you move your body differently, the bending of element will be different too

[@Scorpio3002]

@@nagmamahalbalagtas if you watch the bending in ATLA closely, you'll notice that the true bending masters like Iroh, Pakku, Bumi and Hama have much more contained, less elaborate movement compared to their less experienced protégés. This might be due in part to their age and lack of agility compared to younger fighters, but the fact that it doesn't seem to slow down their bending strongly implies that there aren't strict rules in how you need to move your muscles in order to bend an element to a desired effect. There's clearly some flexibility of technique to bending, even between two benders of the same element, and TLOK uses that diversity of style as license to show a more modernized approach to bending to match its modernized world.

The way she raised her kids kind of makes sense, since she gave her children too much freedom as opposed to how little freedom she received under her parents.

[@thomasschulte6745]

I completely disagree with the title. In ATLA bending had unipue fighting styles and looked really awesome. In korra its just faster and lost these fighting styles. There the fights look more to me like an argue from two little kids with some elements included, where the fights in ATLA were based on the elements. I really hate LoK for forcely being different to ATLA in every point, because they ruined pretty much everything with that. And btw. Amon can't energybend...

@@azulaeatingmochime2353 On the contrary, when you ATLA and TLOK one after another you'll see they've really dumbed down bending to just punches and kicks in TLOK. In ATLA bending is a discipline and the actions every bender does are inspired by real life martial arts but in TLOK it's just about fighting and punches and kicks. Aslo in ATLA Zuko , a firebender from birth and the Avatar's firebending teacher couldn't even master lighting bending , but in TLOK every one and their mothers could lightning bend.

No. They removed the spirituality from bending in Korra.

[@zombiedemon1762]

WTF? They did the opposite of that. Korra is way more spiritual. Proof: out of body Korra, origin of the dark avatar and normal avatar, the Korra chapter thats actually called spirit, every spirit in the show, and probably even more stuff like that. I guess you never watched Korra.

[@prodigous21]

@@zombiedemon1762 spiritual as in having a journey of self discovery and introspection. Understanding the deep ties between element, self, and spirit with the ending of self enlightenment. Getting spirit powers doesn't automatically make you spiritual, Korra being the avatar already gives her access to the spirit realm and ATLA truly did explore the more philosophical aspects of bending. They tried to have Korra go through the same journey Zuko and Aang went through but it was extremely rushed and badly paced throughout the seasons. In just half a season Korra went from being the least spiritual Avatar to having a spirit beam battle. By the end of the series it didn't feel even close to the fulfillment felt when Aang and Zuko finished their journeys.

[@bobcromo3279]

You miscalculated. Azula's behaviour was a product of Ozai's horrible parenting, and her desire to be the perfect daughter just to please him. That's part of the reason why she has a meltdown after her loss, the other being losing Mai and Ty lee after trying to use fear to control them like her father did to her and Zuko. Saying she was the real monster while Ozai was pretending is completely backwards.

[@jfraser820]

I wouldn't say it was better. Earthbending: Obviously the metal bending aspect is sick. The Earthbending is more fluid and acrobatic compared to the L.A. It also goes without saying that Lavabending is amazing and one of my favourite sub styles. I've watched the Ghazan lavabending scenes too many times to count..... also when he brought down the inner wall 😶😶😶 Water bending: More advanced moves which is sick. Air: Seen more due to more benders. Fire: Seemed weaker .... it's as if flames didn't have the same amount of force or power behind them. The evolution of lightning bending was cool but again seemed to be less powerful. Combustion bending seems to be the same but P'li demonstrated more control than C.M did. I wouldn't say the bending was "better" it was more evolved but evolution doesn't always equal Improvement.

Bending got ruined Korra. In ATLA it was a martial art based of real martial ( I sadly forgot what they were based on I will edit that later once I find out agains). The bending “quidditch” in Lok is not like the fighting in ATLA AT ALL!!! In that stupid Sport it was boxing with three elements. It didn’t have the, wow, I should learn how to do that, motivation in ANY of Korras fights. It was like seeing a little kid playing with LEGO. Look bad guy is winning, no but now the good guy is winning, no the bad guy is winning again, good guy wins ! In ATLA it was interesting, mostly balanced. It was like this for me. It took practice to learn that, mabey I should learn something from there, wow that guy just got rekt, wow that was close, thank goodness, hope isn’t lost after all. I mostly saw how they learned their tricks. I’m going to start with Toph. She was an earth bending beast. She learned in the fighting arena and was the all time champion until Aang “cheated” her defeat. We then see how she is training Aang once she joins the gang. She gets captured by the people sent out to get her by her father. She learns Metalbending from just adjusting to her surroundings and then try’s to bend it and it is successful. After that there was one thing that happened that confused me, and that was her sandbending, it seemed like she learned it out of now where, but then I remembered that she did kind of start Her training in “the library” episode. But the thing is, even if it did somewhat come out of nowhere, she never really used it meaning the writers knew that wasn’t logical and that she hadn’t mastered it. We also learned that she learned earth bending from the ORIGINAL earth benders, the badger als that we met in “cave of two lovers”. Korra on the other hand, could bend 3 out of the 4 elements from a young age on. That’s like if I could do 5th grade math, play the piano and mastered Karrete before starting 2nd Grade. Sahir, or how ever you spell it, also was an airbending master in one day, despite being a non bender his whole life before that. There was no proper learning, there was no martialart, there was no scar on the world after a 100 year long war. Na Korra gets a 2/10 from me. It did have some cool moments but na just na. Korra is a different character then Aang and I never expected them to be similar or same. They do have different struggles etc. it wasn’t the characters that annoyed me the most, it how they ruined bending and their different worldly atmosphere. On Korra it was to much like real city’s and I hated that. I loved the mountains and the cool villages and what not. I loved ATLA for a lot of reasons and I disliked Lok for a lot of reasons, Edit: the promised martial arts the bending was based on. Water is tai chi chuan, Earth is Hung Ga kung fu, for the most part, Fire is Northern Shaolin kung fu Air is baguazhang ( yes I googled it)

Well, the inclusion of advanced Blood and Metalbending, as well as the introduction of Lavabending are serious gamechangers. Imagine all of these bending styles existing during the 100 year war. The Fire Nation would get trashed without needing Aang there. Metalbenders would turn their ships and tanks inside out. Bloodbenders would turn their soldiers against each other. As for Lavabenders, well the Fire Nation capitol sits atop a volcano's caldera. Think Pompeii...

Everybody that ever talks about the mechanics of metalbending (Suyin, Hiroshi, Lin, and Toph either implied in the show or more obviously said in the comics) says that they all feel the earthen impurities in the metal, and bend those, which drags the metal around them along. It is why meteorites are so easy to bend, because metallic meteorites are made of really, really poor metal, as well as a few other points that bear this up.

[@ScamwatchDallin]

I had an issue with the way metal bending was portrayed in Korra. Seemed like just another retcon. When Korra got poisoned, it was implied that the Red Lotus had sunk mercury or a similar liquid metal into her skin. That was really gross and rough to watch at first. But the more I thought about it, the more I had to wonder if that works given the rules we understand. They reinforce the fact that metalbenders aren't actually bending the metal, but the impurities of the metal. Hence why you can't bend platinum, because it's too pure (I guess). But if that's the case, then you shouldn't be able to lift mercury through metal bending, only the impurities within it. So that said, the Red Lotus couldn't have poisoned her in that way, and Toph, awesome as she may be, couldn't have removed it.
