I paused right at 5:55 so it sounded like Asami was saying that she was glad that it was the end of the world.

He's right!

Water bending is broken, lucky for Korra. Like, who needs knowledge and intuition when you have water (lol)

They should've made it for all elements. Air use air spiral, fire uses fire spiral and earth uses dust spiral

it feels like an Abridged edit but even those have animated blinks

wait i never noticed that its so unsettling wtf

I’m glad someone else noticed! My eye sight is messed up so I thought I was going crazy.

Thanks for this…

Gotta save on that animation budget

Yeah and didn't they address that in one of the comics, that it's often cheaper to use a machine run by a nonbender trained in an afternoon than it is to use a bender who requires years of training?

​@@battlesheep2552 that doesn't make sense, it should cost much less to by one guy then to by a whole machine.

​@yoyo777 I'd imagine it's more a long term investment. The bender would probably be working for a much higher rate due to needing years of training. Meanwhile you invest a good bit of cash into a machine once and then your only cost is hiring cheap work since barely any experience is required for the job.

Reminds me of why people used muskets even though bows and arrows were still superior in the right hands. It took weeks for someone to be good with a musket, but years to be an expert with a bow and arrows.

@@alexanderrobins7497 using the bow and arrow was also a lot more straining than using a single shot reload weapon that probably didnt even had that much recoil.

And mysteriously Jinora walked away to a cliff It was a full moon

It's an ok show if you don't think too much about it. The writing doesn't run as deep as ATLA, which makes it suffer in an overanalyzing format.

I think the point was that Unalaq was intentionally making the spirits go crazy in order to get Korra to do what he wants, while Aang only had to deal with spirits getting rightfully angry over some imbalance humans were causing.

@@battlesheep2552 Still, Korra couldve shown some genuinly angry spirits for her to deal with, the spirits in ATLA were mad at the fire nations pollution, deforestation but you look at the scale of what someone like Kuvira does and no spirit seems to really care

Well she has in bare minimum at least a decade more

He honestly has the background to be that interesting character too. "Running numbers" for gang members to being a pro-athlete to a beat-cop working to become detective.

I suppose Season 2 was so forgettable people do not bother to criticize the way that Amon escaped, but Korra does not know that, and therefore could have lingering fears about him.

plus it fits with the medieval asian setting, they had fireworks-rockets goin WAY back.

Medieval? They have various aircraft​ and cars... Aang was like that but this show isn't medieval at all. @@KairuHakubi

@@Leon_der_Luftige and that's the problem.

He said booster rocket, which is definitely NOT fireworks

This same season has a single man compress decades of the evolution of film, in a few weeks Technology is just ill-defined magic in this show

From the bottom up 2, 1, 4, 3 in that order.

I'd like to start a petition to remove it from it's position in the top 4, I don't think it deserves it.

The bending animation got significantly better in S2. Over time I’ve switched from 2,1,4,3 to firmly 1,2,4,3

Tenzin is my favorite by far

Tbf he still pulled off similar feats with the other elements in that fight

"You mean the Fire Lord" 😂

@@daphne0515 That's what he said.

While yes, that is fair that rocket wouldn't be unreasonable to say, booster rocket is a much more specific to space programs thing that doesn't make a whole lotta sense unless people are trying to use fireworks to fly things and also have a big set of fireworks to start off and then use the non-booster rockets to maneuver. I guess there could be an alternate etymology wherein a big firework is used in a performance of some sort to boost excitement or quality of the performance, but that's still a bit suspect.

@@mirkwood579 I will refer to the legend of Wan Hu, who according to myth, died when trying to reach the moon using firework rockets all the way back in 1390. Using fireworks as speed boost is not a concept that appeared with the space programs either. The etymology part is true though, it would be a huge coincidence, but still not a far fetched thing the slang could appear in the Avatar world.

perhaps the term turbine would be better specially since cars and now airplanes are present which would use those to get more power.@@mirkwood579

Plus rockets more conventional non space rockets were invented in the 30s or 40s so those could probably also exist

there are good things in there specially if youre not such a stick in the mud for your nitpicks. yes theres of weird stuff and flaws, it is perhaps the season with most of these, but people still heavy hand it way too much. why do they think angry and powerfull spirits being gigantic monsters with laser beams is so out of place and weird when hei bai was introduced as a small scale kaiju that could use roar of time? we literally know spirits are the first energy benders of course they know how to make it destructive.

i hated Varrick, why people love him? what season 2 did was show us Wan

​@@agustinfranco0 I hated Wan, why people like him? Season 2 did give us.... Umm... Oh and also..... Oh fuck it

​@@agustinfranco0 I hate Wan, why do people love Wan? What season 2 did was introduce us to Varrick

@@agustinfranco0 I’m curious as to why you hate him. I for one know why I (and likely many others) like him though. He is an eccentric character who is both a genius and kind of an idiot at the same time. A lot of comedy in the series from now onwards also tends to involve him as well and it is some great stuff. Like people have pointed out before, he is kind of like the series’s version of Sokka and I think it works

I also find Varrick legitimately compelling after it is revealed that he is playing both sides to enrich himself like a true capitalist. Unfortunately the show kinda forgets that he is, at best, morally dark grey, because he's so charismatic.

republic city has to be the biggest combination of 'terrible idea' and 'massively missed potential' ever. and they focused on it SO HARD. like they thought we'd LOVE this place.

@@KairuHakubiYeah I agree completely. I wonder if they would've done a better job fleshing it out if they knew ahead of time they would have more than one season, and could spend time actually developing RC rather than it just kind of being...there

@@xPanda25 I think it definitely would have been better if they'd had several seasons to start with. But it still would have been dumb pandering garbage in the end, so whatever. we can't have nice things.

@@KairuHakubi Republic City had to have been written with the mindset of "it's just 1920's New York with benders living in it, so we don't have to worldbuild" So it ends up feeling fake compared to Ba Sing Se, even though the later had a fraction of the episodes of screentime

the same reason why earthbending was so hard for aang, because is opposite of their nature, aang is a guy who thinks around his problems and evades them instead of taking them head on, korra is the exact opposite, she allways takes all problems head on

@@vhaelen326 i dont think you get the point of this dudes comment

@@jooshgoosh i do, he is saying that if korra bends air the same way as fire she shouldnt have had the mental blockade in the first place, im am merely saying that there is a difference between the element youre bending and the style of bending similiar to the difference between climate and weather, they are related in certain aspects but not entirely the same, you still need to be able to be in tune with the elements "philosophy" aka nature to bend it but you dont HAVE to bend it a certain way

@@vhaelen326 hes not talking about its from an actually in universe way he's talking about how the writers end up having her use air as nothing more than reskinned fire bending

@@RochRich. I can hear his voice lol

i thought he was simping for kya too lol. i mean shit, who wouldn’t?

What scene was it from I can’t remember but I want to Anything with that lad is sick

In Northern water tribe moon touches you. Yue

Omg I never thought of that way! Kind of the problem with having the moon or the sun as a ‘concept’ like that instead of an actual physical entity that exists outside our realm of control And makes me wonder how these people would feel about traveling to it 🤔

I mean, badger moles and bison and dragons are still physically real animals that you can touch and theoretically eat, no reason the moon isn't also a real object. Possibly also made of meat and/or cheese.

The sun is not a concept in a avatar firebenders draw strength from it's heat just like they draw strength from the comet which is again another physical think As for the original question yes the moon seems to be real I don't think the entire moon is a spirit it's probably a very powerful spirit living in the moon and probably has created the moon... Otherwise it wouldn't be going in cycles it would just be full moon eternally... Well you know... Not like it isn't already but you know what I mean

@@KairuHakubi Kind of raises a bunch of questions though considering what Zhao did to the original moon spirit.

Unalaq is a tad more interesting than people give him credit for! While he does lack a personal motive, he has some great lines like, "Sometimes traditions have a purpose." I always thought of him as a mixture of Loki and the Thalmor elves from Skyrim. If only they explored his jealousy for Tarrlok being chief in flashbacks just a tad more to humanize him. Book 2 is largely ok but suffers from Korra's impudence and returning to Republic City when we already had a whole season of it. Book 2 is at its best during the civil war stuff and the spirit world stuff, not to mention the Wan episodes. It's the weakest book of LOK but there's still some great scenes in there!

@@RacingSnails64 Unalaq was just a boring villain, even if they had to make him one note evil at least make him entertaining to watch, but as is he’s just lucky idiot with a evil kite possessing his body.

@@RacingSnails64 honestly, the Avatar Wan episodes were the biggest boredom of this season for me, I was sort of invested in the series, then we get this entire exposition dump about it. It would've made more sense if this was during downtime for Aang, instead of Korra, who is not exactly keen of history to begin with, while Aang could find some semblence of respect in that lore. Unalak is a weak villain, his entire stick is just "traditions must be upheld!" (oh btw, i'm also with the red lotus and ready to kill the avatar) I like Kuvira in the next season, she was just outright batshit insane and had the power to back it up, while now shying away from her viewpoints, not hiding in the shadows for ages till it's finally time to strike, I like that more and the whole "villain is behind you but pretending to be a good guy" is overdone to hell.

"You should have been briefed"

it had some decent setups, like setting up the spirit conflict concidering that spirits have been largely absent for the majority of Avatar, except those few times Aang communicated with them. it's a nice setup, but it's largely ruined because Korra is back to her immature pre-development state, you'd think she matured a lot during that 1st season, she went from "i'm the fucking Avatar, I can do anything!" to "i'm a ... non bender now?!" she got humbled hard, yet she's right back to the "i'm the fucking Avatar" stick again. I like that Mako actually had some development outside "i'm Korra's love interest, now i'm Sami's love interest, now i'm Korra's love interest" and that Sami kinda moved on at this point. Bolin is Bolin, he doesn't change through the entire series, which is fine, you need a character like him around (although I don't like how powerful he becomes later on with lava bending) It feels off aswell that Tenzin kinda makes the same mistake he did early on, focusing to hard on Korra's training, he knows that Korra is a rebel at heart, give her some space, let her be a person, maybe that rebelious attitute would go down quite a bit if she can out herself a bit more instead of "you're the Avatar, now train constantly" It didn't work for Aang, Aang also needed some rest between training sessions to work things, out, since we see them do a daily training session like when Katara and Toph are launching attacks at Aang blindfolded, when that's over, they chill, no idea why Tenzin is so obsessed with drumming that training into her skull, in a sense, he literally pushed Korra into Unalak's plan. The season is a long 1 unfortunately, but atleast next season is Kovira, where Toph returns and kicks ass as we know it and has some decent things going on. (also, I dread seeing the whole "1st avatar" backstory again, felt like such a wasted time watching that episode.)

​@@DarkDyllonAnd to add to what you already pointed out, we get to watch korra fuck the avatar state into uselessness

While it would be bad writing, and a bit of cope/me filling in what the writers didn't, I think we could assume that after Amon/equalist not doing anything even a few months after (since we had a 6 month time jump), they would just assume that Amon was ousted and no one picked up where he left off. Again, not trying to say it was good on their part for doing it.

Earth gun

it's too bad she can't do that trick Aang did with Kyoshi where she suddenly INCARNATES again, and then let Aang talk to his family. but it'd probably be too weird. "oh yeah um i mean you guys are coming to join me someday, but not... not here inside korra's head you're not. and then the next one after korra and oh god i just realized i'm going to be roommates with korra forever." And then she solved that in this season and Aang could relax 8D

I feel like Korra sticking her tongue out is ruining that theory for me

Yeah, but seeing an explosion in the distance doesn't mean this one specific guy who they don't know where he's at was there.

I mean a teeved off bloodbender who hates you should worry you after all none of your friends are immune maybe he wants to take his time to say nothing of just sneak attacking you

Good point but she should still at least be a little alarmed

Kinda IS impossible when the explosion happened in the middle of nowhere also of someone discovered Amon was dead someone would atleast mention it on the news so that theory does not make sense Also OA was also making a serious point he just mixed it up with some jokes.

He explains in his next video why it does not bother him

Yes but in the original show they explicitly said that 5 whole fire sages need to work together to open Roku's temple while a fully realized avatar can do it alone. Not to mention the scene of a past avatar using it to make 4 volcanoes erupt at the same time.
