The Legend of Korra 4x13 | Reaction & Review (UNCUT)

Comments

We're so sorry! Totally missed this comment. First off, I'm really sorry to hear about your dad 🥺. It sounds like the last few months have been incredibly tough. I'm glad you're finding time to get back into things you enjoy despite everything you've been handling! Thank you for your thoughts on this! Korra's struggles are definitely more pronounced compared to Aang's. I totally agree with you—on the first watch, it was clear she was constantly challenged down to her core, and it was very frustrating to watch at times. I think it took a second watch to really understand the beauty of her character. Of course, the show isn't perfect and the writing can be a little off, but we really love the message that being the Avatar isn't just about mastering the elements, but mastering yourself in extreme adversity. It was very dark towards the end, and I'm a little biased because I do like darker tones—they feel more realistic to me. Aang's story was about finding peace and balance, while Korra's was about confronting chaos and personal demons. Both are valid, but Korra’s story can be a lot heavier, especially when you're invested in her character. Nonetheless, I totally get where you're coming from, but we did like Season 3 the best! Season 2 would probably be our second favorite. Sorry for the late response again!

Meesh and Dee

Sorry y'all, I'm finally getting around to commenting on the series as a whole - last 3-4 months was pretty insane with having to take care of my dad up until he passed in June. I still have most of season 3 and all of season 4 to watch along with, but I'm still in the middle of getting "affairs in order", etc. Ok, so all THAT aside... I really like Korra, particularly Season 1, as I said, Season 2 was great as well, but... With Seasons 3 and 4, it does have a great story and plenty of action, and I certainly understand that without conflict of some kind the story can really drop off if she's always winning or whatever. But throughout the series, to me anyway, it feels like she's always had to prove herself more than Aang EVER had to. She picked up the other bending as a kid, so she was already well on her way there. Then Amon took her bending (unlocking her airbending, but still), then she forgot who she was (giving us the excellent history back to Wan, but again, still...), then losing her whole freaking backlog / experience of the previous Avatars, which Dee mentioned at the end of Season 2. Seasons 3 and 4 got even worse for her, getting poisoned and almost killed, and basically losing a couple of years worth of her life to the PTSD of all that happening to her, I think you're getting what I mean. There's "conflict" and then there's hardcore SUFFERING and major mental trauma that she went through just trying to be the Avatar. I think maybe they were trying to make it more of an adult cartoon series, moreso than ATLA was. I mean her overall story, particularly towards the end of Season 2 and most of Seasons 3 and 4 was just really DARK. Still, I love seeing y'all's reactions. What do you two think?

Bryan Sproles

This makes me so glad that we are getting the same composer for the future projects. He seems to always outdo himself and the music is beautiful! It’s a shame that you can’t read it right away but im so excited for you to get married !!

Israel

I completely agree with everything you said! We're so glad you joined us on this journey too! You've been making us laugh so much with your comments! 😂 Just a heads-up, though! we don't have ATLA Patreon videos except for the finales. 🥹 We started the channel with ATLA before we had a Patreon, so us being noobs we didn't plan that far ahead 😩

Meesh and Dee

YES! She watched this too 😂 I like how you were thinking like me.

Meesh and Dee

Kuvira was the catalyst that helped Korra rip open a hole into the spirit world and into Korra's sexuality. I'm kind of glad they developed Korra and Asami's relationship gradually. I wanted that smooch at the end, but it makes sense that they didn't. It was their first time exploring the boundaries of their relationship. And what better way to explore it than in the Spirit World! I imagine that it's similar to dropping acid at Coachella to Blackpink. I think, objectively, that ATLA was a better series, but Korra holds such a special place in my heart. They've added so many new main characters and still managed to develop them beautifully. I mean, I never would have guessed that Varrick and Zhu Li's wedding was going to close off the series finale. But here I am, crying more than real-life weddings. I blame Jeremy Zuckerman for plucking at my heart strings. I was sad that the Avatar journey was over until I realized that I joined during Korra. Now I get to revisit ATLA with y'all! yay me.

Tapiocca

Has she seen the video where Janet proposes to Seychelle? https://youtu.be/gWVIUuvU8lA?si=JdIqN4Bj6zWa_3dh

Jenny D

Vi getting her orn pit fighter arc too

Mathies

I loved that Tenzin said that; it's one of the reasons he's one of my favorite characters. I'm excited for the new series and can't wait to see what the creators have in store for us after all these years. 🩵🩵

Meesh and Dee

LFGGG ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Meesh and Dee

Def will! :)

Meesh and Dee

Ahhh! You are so right! So excited for what's to come..

Meesh and Dee

Aww, it's been a real journey! Thank you for being there from the start! I absolutely love that song; it never fails to put me in my feels. Listening to it while reading the books is a great idea lol, I'm super excited for the Roku books! To be honest, with the channel, our jobs, and our upcoming wedding, I won't have time to read it until later, but I'm so hyped for it!! 🔥🔥

Meesh and Dee

It was a long 4 seasons to hold in lmao

Meesh and Dee

Thanks, Jenny! You're the greatest for giving us some background on how to do this reaction. We definitely have to do a reaction with Janet and Seychelle reading the dialogue. Dee was listening to an interview with them today and was already freaking out.

Meesh and Dee

Hi Friend! Can't wait to hear your thoughts :) tysm

Meesh and Dee

This is a good idea!

Meesh and Dee

😭😭❤️❤️

Meesh and Dee

Aww, you're too sweet! Thank you for joining us on this journey. This episode, in particular, is very special to us 🥺

Meesh and Dee

dawww 🥹 we are all about this ❤️❤️

Meesh and Dee

This is so awesome!

Meesh and Dee

I'm going to watch this one sometime this week, but I'm a full season behind due to a bunch of family stuff that happened over the past 3 months or so. I'll watch this one, and leave my thoughts in another comment, since I promised it to y'all, but I will definitely finish this and ATLA series with you, cause the reactions are so good :)

Bryan Sproles

react to korra and asami's relationship timeline. nickelodeon put together a video that starts from season 1 and delves into the comics in it.

Emi

Also, if y'all had seen MY reaction after checking multiple times over the past few days for episode 13 to drop and it was FINALLY here! 😂

Victoria

I'm so happy to have been able to see this journey with you both. I love your reactions and how much you appreciate all the aspects of the Avatar world. The stories, the character development, the art and the music - these creators made something precious and, again, I'm so happy to have seen you experience it. ❤❤

Victoria

I laughed so hard when this happened because as soon as Dee said it, I looked at Meesh and her eyes were looking directly at the camera/me 🤣

Victoria

That face at the end..... priceless , haha

As a demisexual, your guys’ comments at the end about slowly building a relationship from a friendship really hit for me. 🥹

Jenny D

Here’s the link to the YouTube video that has the first part of the Turf Wars comic paired with Janet and Seychelle reading the dialogue if you wanna do that reaction! https://youtu.be/ylU-ksQP4FE?si=ccSmC-9eGm6QyedZ There’s two more parts after this that have more of the actors (Mako’s, Bolin’s, and Lin’s) and together all three parts complete the first comic! Also, I’ve seen another YouTuber react to the comics by having the images on part of the screen while he just read the words out loud himself.

Jenny D

In the decade since this episode came out I’ve seen a lot comments from queer people saying they didn’t do enough for Korrasami to be considered good queer representation, and I always like to point out how this was the first western all ages cartoon to have two main female characters end up in a relationship together. I think Bryan Konietzko phrased it excellently on his tumblr post (https://www.tumblr.com/bryankonietzko/105916338157/korrasami-is-canon-you-can-celebrate-it-embrace) back when this episode first aired: Was it a slam-dunk victory for queer representation? I think it falls short of that, but hopefully it is a somewhat significant inching forward. Imo it was a very significant, and necessary, step forward! The news of Korrasami popped up on a sapphic website I frequented back then, and that’s what got me to go back and finish the show! I had stopped after 2x06, right before the Wan episodes, because my friend and I were watching it together, then we both got busy, and I didn’t feel motivated to finish it by myself until I heard about Korrasami. Especially not having seen anything past mid-Season 2, when Korrasami had just been a crack!ship in the fandom.

Jenny D

*Korra and Mako chatting* Dee: Oh my god I hope they don’t end up together. Meesh: *signature quick camera look*

Jenny D

Every time Meesh would say she’s excited to finish the show and Dee would give her this scandalized look, meanwhile all of us in the comments were just biting our tongues because we knew what Meesh meant and we all agreed!

Jenny D

Speaking of previous comments of mine, back on episode 3x03 I commented, “You guys referring to the Lower Ring as the Undercity reminds me of some other Arcane parallels, and a Tumblr post I saw comparing gifs of similar moments. But the post has spoilers so I’ll wait to share it. Though I bet Meesh could guess what the parallels are since she’s seen both shows in full. 😏” Based on your reply, I’m pretty sure Meesh picked up my meaning, but anyway, here’s the post comparing Vi to Korra and Caitlyn to Asami: https://www.tumblr.com/chaoticvi/732453134495088640/bisexual-lesbian-solidarity

Jenny D

So about my random Rhaenicent comment on the 4x08 reaction: my main reason for bringing it up was just because I wanted to emphasize Dee saying about Korrasami, “I’m not trying to make everything gay,” without actually hinting at Korrasami. So I chose one of my other favorite sapphic ships, one that is…less canon, and one that I knew you guys were caught up with.

Jenny D

KORRASAMI IS CANON! 🎉🥳🙌 Bicons, truly. Also damn does it feel good to finally type out their ship name!

Jenny D

Aw this makes me emotional. Our avatar show journey is over. We still have the Roku novel later this month and I’m so glad you’re interested in reading it. It was such a pleasure to be here from the start of the avatar journey, can’t wait for more to come with your channel! Also that korrasami theme is so amazing!!!! I used to listen to it a lot while reading the avatar novels. It’s so beautiful !

Israel

I love these two shows, I can't wait for the new Aang animated movie and the other two live action Avatar series, (and if true) there will be a new Earth Avatar after Korra. Avatar Studios has a lot of projects and plans. The next 3 years are going to be very great for the Avatarverse. Maybe something will be revealed at SDCC 2024

Sakura man

As for the comics please react to the voice over videos with the voice actors!!

Mathies

Also when they're talking at the end, the sky is the bisexual flag

Mathies

Remember guys "we popping the BIGGEST bottles when makorra happens tomorrow"

Mathies

I mean Lin could still be bi much like Korrasami, theres one really popular ship out there

Mathies

KORRASAMIIII

Mathies

Tenzin has my favorite line in the whole series "You've transformed the world more times more in a few years than most Avatars in their lifetime." It just reflects the show for me. It wasn't afraid to change things and it did explore the lore and mess around with it. Also I was like you Dee when I saw the ending scene. I remember thinking they better not put Korra and Mako back together at the last minute but then they gave us Korrasmi, something I was shipping since the beginning. And it's not like it came out of nowhere since even you two have noticed them getting closer these last two seasons. Even Meesh gave a look at one comment you made, Dee, in last season.

Evermorph

I think you guys could potentially read the comics off-screen and then do a video of your thoughts? Not just the Korrasami stuff, but also the full story of what happened to Zukos mom. Thats also fully told in the comics.
