Hello !
When Amon managed to take Korra's bending away, I couldn't believe it, it had to be false. You saw it, I was like : "ok, but it's only waterbending, ok, it's all of them but they're gonna come back because you're gonna learn them again… No ? But where the fu** are the spirits and the past lives when we need them ?" And then, it happened.
I think that Korra kept only airbending because of him, he was already here to help her and respond to her distress. And then, he taught her how to give bending back to people, so she can be back but also do it to everyone. Which is proving that Aang was the best Avatar ever : he learnt how to take bending away and give it back.
I'm still french, so I'm still sorry if my english hurts you.

No worries for the older post, normally I will have your notification about it, no matter what 😊 And thanks, for my accent, and good luck to learn french, I know it's difficult for foreigners to learn it, in particular our verbs 🤞

I always get into my feelings every time I see an Avatar character show up in the legend of Korra. Awesome accent by the way! I’m an American but I’m starting to learn different languages and French is on the list. Hope to visit your beautiful country one day.

Just before beginning : I'm sorry in advance if I don't respond to all of your thoughts, but thanks a lot for sharing all of them 😊 I thought also that we missed things around the kidnapping but my issue was mostly that we saw them going away, one ship was destroyed, the other one came back with Lin so quick that Amon took her bending 2min later, so how did they take the time to make that kidnapping ? For me, Katara not being able to heal Korra, it was to amplify the fact that it's not an issue with her body, it's a spiritual issue, in the mind. And for people having an issue with Korra : I think that the fact that Aang was so pure and we began ATLA with him being so young, it helped to love him instantly, when Korra is a teenager and embracing all of the checklist of teenager issues. But I love her also for that. And here, I think that Aang taught her to do that thing, she was the one to do it to Lin.

2021-08-25 18:08:18 +0000 UTCThere's so much that happens in this episode! I really liked your reactions, especially for Korra finally "meeting" Aang and then restoring Lin's bending! Below are a few of my thoughts about the show in general up to this point... Regarding the airbenders, something I just noticed this watch through is that when Korra and Mako attack Amon to save the airbenders, Korra is only using firebending. So its two firebenders saving the last airbenders... from a waterbender. Quite the turn-around from AtLA! Also, one of the only things I didn't like so much about this episode with the kidnapping is that they never really addressed how traumatic it must have been for them - they introduced it and got over it so quickly (and then never came back to it again). I can't imagine what it must have been like both for the kids, but also for Tenzin... Regarding the bloodbending and how Amon was able to "take away bending" - I've always viewed it something along the lines of two components to bending: a spiritual connection, but also a "physical" connection (which allows the "chi" to flow through the bender's body). I think Aang's "energy" bending disrupts the spiritual connection part, whereas Amon's bloodbending disrupts something about the physical connection (similar to how Aang's connection to the Avatar state was blocked in Book 3 after the lightning strike and wasn't re-established until that same spot on his back hit the rock during the fight with Ozai). So in that way its similar to Chi blocking, but I think it goes way beyond that. One thing I still don't quite understand though, is why Katara wouldn't be able to recognize what was wrong and fix it. And then that made me realize that, if you think about it, there's not a whole lot of difference between bloodbending and "healing" with waterbending. I'd think that with healing you'd be manipulating the body at least in some way, repairing damaged tissues and such. I'd think good healers would have an excellent understanding of anatomy through their bending, similar to Toph's "seismic sense" allows her to see through earth. The only difference I can see is that with bloodbending, it seems like you're actively trying to go against the body, whereas with "healing" you're presumably trying to allow the body to heal (maybe even heal itself?), so you're going more WITH the body. Maybe that distinction is enough to make the techniques completely different, even if they seem similar on the surface (both manipulating the body through waterbending). In any case, TLoK really makes waterbending OP, especially considering what its able to do in the first episode of next season (which I know Laura's seen by now). Also about Korra's airbending - I always viewed it as: at the time Amon took away her bending, she hadn't yet accessed that connection to Air, so Amon wasn't able to "see" her "Air connection" and disrupt it (also, he'd never taken away anyone's Airbending before, so maybe he'd have a harder time recognizing it anyway?). Mike and Bryan (the creators of the show) are usually pretty vague about stuff if its not explicitly explained in the show, but in this instance their explanation is somewhat along the lines of: it was Korra seeing her friend that she loved in so much danger that finally allowed her to connect with airbending. The only thing that doesn't quite make sense to me is how Korra was able to resist Amon's bloodbending at the end, if her waterbending was taken away. Thinking about it, Aang really wasn't ever able to resist bloodbending except when in the Avatar state (both against Hamma and then against Yakone), which suggests maybe it was something more similar to "energy" bending (of himself) that he was doing rather than waterbending (as both Katara and Amon were able to use to resist bloodbenders). So the only real explanation for Korra I can see is if she was also somehow able to access some sort of "energy" bending control over herself to resist the bloodbending (similar to her new-found connection to airbending). I definitely don't want anyone to feel "wrong" for thinking that Aang played some part in helping Korra to retain/access her airbending against Amon, my only problem is: many fans who don't like Korra the show, have a very toxic attitude against Korra the character, and insist that all of her major accomplishments are solely due to Aang, and not Korra. So for example at the end, when Korra restores Lin's bending, they insist that its actually Aang acting through Korra who's doing it, and not Korra herself (i.e., Aang teaches Korra how to do it, and then she actually does it herself, is how I view it). Partly because of that, I think I personally try to emphasize more what Korra does herself and don't always recognize the contribution that other past Avatars may still be playing.

2021-08-25 17:48:20 +0000 UTCWe’ve moved on from implied deaths to onscreen deaths. I actually didn’t watch the Legend of Korra until last year, so I was surprised by this change. But it makes sense because this show is aimed at older kids 😅. I hope you enjoyed your beer. You should keep some on hand for the rest of the show 😂

2021-08-25 09:47:11 +0000 UTCHello ! It's what they are saying but as I explained in my review, I don't think they believed that it was possible. Tarlok explained that their father Yakone tried it, to change and have a normal life but that his past was too heavy and he ended by doing that to his kids. I think that Tarlok didn't think that him and/or his brother could succeed here and he doesn't want to replicate the same mistake, to make people suffer like he suffered himself. For me, he's looking at Amon like "I love you brother, but I know who we are".

2021-08-25 09:37:53 +0000 UTCtarlok believed that the cycle would be broken with both of them alive and his brother believing in starting over... crazy he killed them both

2021-08-25 09:33:44 +0000 UTCMy theory is that Amon uses bloodbending to do a permanent form of chi blocking. But Korra's was already blocked when it came to airbending, so Amon inadvertently opened whatever locked her airbending.
