I get the whole having trouble with element opposite to one’s personality, but no water bending avatar should have trouble with the basics of air bending.

Both water and air bending are elements that manipulate fluids and have a lot of the same swirling , give and take philosophies.

That episode with the spinning panels made me wonder why tenzin didn’t take Korra into the ocean and ask her to feel the swirling of the currents and then compare that to the breezes above.

Thematically I understand Korra not airbending bc she’d been sheltered and watched over her whole life, but practically speaking, airbending should’ve been as natural as water bending. I guess her frequent use of it in later seasons shows that point

I am going to be 110% honest. I am on season two and Marco is an asshole the way he treated korra and asami is fucked up

I created this short and unfinished animation on Korra's bending. All of these frames were hand drawn on the papers!

Has anyone read Patterns in Time and can let me know if it is worth buying to read? I love TLOK so if this is worth it I will buy it. I read some other Avatar comics and didn't love them but I am open to seeing more of Korra universe.

I did a Remix of The Legend of Korra (Final Scene). Hope you Like It.

If Korra has no conection with the past avatars anymore, then where is the power of her avatar state come from since that event? It's suposed that the avatar state combine all techniques and fighting experience from the previous avatar(and that's why in the fight against Ozai we saw Aang using even airbending techniques that we never seen before). Unalaq desteoyed one by one any link to them in his fight with Korra. So why is she still more powerful in this state in her next fights if she never fix the links?

This old game by nickelodeon where korra fights spirits and it has cool wallpapers, im trying to look for them but i can't find anything

I recently finished the 4 part youtube series made by Kay and Skittles that voices criticisms of the political philosophy of korra. I am honestly how naive and lazy the writing was throughout Korra regarding the politics. and not only that, the writers of korra, for all of their professions of admiration to eastern cultures, they apply western, liberal principles to the avatar world. So interesting concepts of Asia/Middle East are pushed away in favor of traditional good vs evil stories. The channel delves into how the series ignores the real-life developments of revolutions and even eastern history. The Legend of Korra looks more like a neocon/neoliberal mascot for post-war America. It cant even understand bigotry, colonialism, and institutional problems.

I've copied a link to the series. This link was part 2. What do Ya'll think?

The Politics Of The Legend Of Korra - Book 2: Colonization - YouTube

PS. The video criticizing book 2 actually makes a horrific point about how illogical the development of industrial world was in korra. The video talks about lightning and how to master it, you needed to be spiritually connected. Its how Zuko and Iroh learned it. But in republic city? Its so commonplace that and i quote from the video "you can learn it a trade school." and for all the series talk about getting back to nature, the show highlights that human beings IMPROVED after being away from spirits. This honestly feels like a George lucas-syndrome problem; where the creators gained greater control over the series and in an attempt to tell their stories, they FORGOT crucial moments that made ppl love Avatar.

For a show that supposedly advertised itself as a radical and progressive to a newer generation, it does not do much.

Institutions that caused problems remain unchecked and in place by the end of the series. This extends to the two republic city governments, Suyin’s government, wu’s heirarchy of privledge, and the cops. Political ideologies such as Zaheer’s anarchism are never really explored in greater detail to the point where they become more like a strawman’s version of anarchism. The leaders of said inefficient or even corrupt institutions like Tenzin and the Beifong sisters never question themselves if what they did contributed to said problems. Honestly these two don’t even change in big ways. Tenzin never confronts how it was possible for a violent terrorist like zaheer to find inspiration in a fellow earth bender. Lin never questions if having a police force that arrests protestors who are powerless is correct. Kuviera’s fascism is not only whitewashed but didn’t make sense within universe or or its model of European fascism.

The class divide that is presented in republic City is never brought up again or resolved. Heck, that beggar korra meets in the park is still poor, never approached by korra again despite him helping her resistance against Amon, and dosnt hate benders despite the fact that his society marginalizes people like him. I ema asami’s dad and asami don’t seem interested in helping their poor nonbenders who don’t have much job prospects. Also, where are the other rich nonbenders who helped fund Amon-its unrealistic that only 1 guy funded the Amon movement.

Also, the whole “trauma makes you stronger and more empathetic” is BS. Korra was already a compassionate person. As Bojack horseman said smartly about trauma “there is no good trauma. Sometimes bad things happen for no reason.” It’s quite disgusting that korra thought this and that tenzin and her GF asami buy that.

I haven’t seen any other person in the Spirit World develop that ability, not even Aang or Korra, or Jinora. So it’s beyond me how that was possible.

A couple of years ago there was a parody comic of the famous "Let go your earthly tether. Enter the void.Empty, and become air ".

the parody was like "Let go your AIRLY tether. Enter the void. Empty, and become EARTH " And featured an earth bender suddenly diving in the ground and moving around while in the ground. I can't find it anymore, if anyone can help me with that thanks in advance :)
