Zaheers intro is actually such a great display of "show, don't tell". Like from his intro scene, from him being a non bender being locked so far away, to him already having a lot of knowledge of Airbender, you know he's a fairly significant threat both in physical and mental strength, but nothing in the dialog explicitly told that. Like it's such a brilliant scene.

@@mac_attack_zach Assuming a 100% success rate at getting an Airbender child each time one of the Airbender kids have a child and each of them have three children each next generation would have 9 airbenders kids + 3 adults. Continuing the same increase, assuming they all have three kids with a 100% success rate (which the canonicity doesn't support) and no one dies early the number of airbenders would increase as such 9 -> 18 -> 54 -> 162 -> 486 -> 1458 -> 4374 -> 13 122 Even with this dream scenario that would likely never happen. Even EIGHT generations or 200+ years since the Airbender Children there'd still only be enough Airbenders to fill a small city. I don't know the population of the Avatar World but even going on the low end and assuming there are just 10,000,000 in the entire world the airbender populace would still just be in the single digits percent-wise.

Comparing Ozai to Zaheer is like comparing Sauron from LOTR to Cersei Lannister from GOT. They serve completely different roles in their respective stories. One is the "big bad", serving primarily as a hurdle for the heroes to overcome, the be-all-end-all evil. The other is meant to be an actual character, more life-like, even relatable to some degree, with convictions and goals that go beyond "destroy the world lol". Its the difference between writing an archetypal story and a realistic one. Neither is better than the other, its just different writing approaches.

Finally the best season and the best villain imo. Also my preferred theory on people getting air bending suddenly is that "the world" kind of wants there to be balance of all benders in roughly equal numbers. For awhile though there's been almost no airbenders compared to hundreds of fire, earth, and water benders. Harmonic convergence especially with open spirit portals kind of allows the world to hit refresh.

Some have avoided Aangs attacks that they could SEE. Also, there is dust and dirt that gets picked up by the air, and then one can see it.

[@peterpetrakis1797]

Lin is a very prominent character in this season so get excited

[@ccthomas]

I can't believe how many new story elements they crammed into a single episode. *That's* writing.

[@strangereactions6]

BOOK 3 FINALLY

[@Young.reject19]

Zaheer held to his motive and I really liked how he spoke. Like he hooks you in with something most would consider impossible and when he got airbending,he basically got power boosted.

[@jonathanjohnson6727]

Imo, Zaheer is the best villain in the Avatar verse.

[@Chemeleon15]

10:27 Sir...sir...sir... Kenny: Get me that "skilled non-bender turned Airbender"! Show: But Bumi isn't that skilled, he's just lucky... Kenny: Get ME that "SKILLED non-bender turned Airbender"! 28:00 Show: Ok, here's Zaheer :)

[@nathhje]

Zaheer! My favorite avatar book off the whole franchise about to start!

[@kbalaji4769]

Unfortunately you don't have a choice "YES I DO"

[@snowscissors2579]

STOP, I love that scene, it's so epic

[@PxndaCakes]

😢

[@gaius5901]

My favorite episode in all of the Avatar series. I get chills everytime that character says that.

[@notarno1d602]

You guys will love this season

[@marshall2137]

I LOVE Zaheer's bending style! He just adds to what he could already do and the animation is b e a u t i f u l

[@EvilOdysseus]

"Nobody has every learned to fight an airbender" *Enter Fire Nation*

[@mightyanthony8297]

Zaheers monologue is just up there with heath ledgers joker. Its that deep and real.

[@Serperi0r]

I can't believe someone will say this unironically

[@mightyanthony8297]

Serperi0r idk if you agreeing with me or disagreeing. But if you cant respect it, it most likely went over your head

[@simonpeterson9711]

Kenny: imagine if a mob boss got bending Everyone else: 👀 uhhh mob boss yea

[@BGTitanAvatar]

Oh I am so hyped. I loved how they showcased come of Korra's growth this episode. I love that her and Asami are chill and being the best. I love the introduction of the new Airbenders and Zaheer. Oh, I'm just.... oh boy.

[@majagustafsson2351]

I think Zahir is the scariest villain of Korra. He's so powerful and he's the kind of villain that envokes a weird form of sympathy

[@lilymikaelson671]

I love how accurate these predictions were, even taking people's breath out of their lungs, like? Accuracy!

[@eiden5778]

Did you guys hear about the news with avatar studios?? Yall should make a video together on what you think about it, what you think or want the first movie to be about and about other things they might do in the future, like other shows etc

[@eduardoarmenta9232]

Airbending is the most versatile type of bending, so much that in order to get their tattoos and the status of master an Airbender has either to create a new technique (Aang invented the air scooter from the ATLA intro and Tenzin created a variant of that in the shape of a wheel that can protect from incoming proyectiles) or dominate a very difficult one to learn.

[@WOLF7356]

Season 3 of Korra isn't just the best season of this series, its the best season in all of Avatar

[@darholland3566]

So I don’t know if y’all have ever watched Serenity the movie sequel to the show of firefly. But if you remember the main antagonist of the movie, called the operative, Book says that the operative is really dangerous not only because he super competent, but because he is a true believer. True believers are more dangerous because they believe whole heartedly and they will do whatever they takes to confirm that belief. Zaheer is a true believer. As we see in the short amount of time, he really believes in this teaching and he was already dangerous. So his airbending is going to strengthen what’s already dangerous and his belief is gonna make him more prone to doing whatever he believes to help him “end the white lotus and the end of the avatar.” It’s gonna get interesting

[@_Offensivebias_]

Actually airbenders are so spiritual that all of their kids are benders.

[@noremac7216]

Unless you're Aang

[@_Offensivebias_]

@@noremac7216 true, but it’s been established in the lore that before the 100 year war every child born into the air nations were benders

[@noahmorley7081]

do you think this is because all air benders would have kids with other air benders and that’s why aang is the exception

[@therach1]

This season is everything. I'm so pumped for y'all to experience it.
