The Legend of Korra 4x04 Reaction

I HATE it when people come for Korra for having flaws, for making bad decisions and stumbling. I like that she isn't perfect, that she's constantly trying to work hard on her faults and honestly just trying to do the best she can to help everyone as the Avatar. That's called being human, and learning from your mistakes, and overcoming fears and traumas. People look at the negatives without considering the positives too. Her decision led to the revival of the air nomads, something Aang wanted to see for decades. She thwarted three villains threatening peace, and is about to battle a fourth. She's the first metalbending Avatar, too.

i love that you guys didn't even speak when Toph met Aang's grandkids and just cried, bc we all already knew what you were thinking hahaha

I'm 27 and I grew up with cassette tapes. You're discussion makes it sound like I'm in my forties. :D

korra is such a love; everyone who says she is a bad avatar are some real ninny-wacking jar huggers

Fine its not Raavas judgement. What's beyond human understanding is the avatar itself. Sure they can understand what it is, but how it is can't be. How the universe chooses who raava reincarnates into. Who in what nation next in line gets this immense power. The point is, yes physically the avatar is human, but answering Lola's train of thought, we can't treat the avatar like some random authority figure. They are above us because of the power they hold, as well as the responsibility. People can question it sure, but asking "why does that person get that power" or "what gives her the right" that can't be asked. They are the avatar. That's the answer. Trying to drag someone like that through city hall debates just muds the water and prevents avatars from doing their jobs. But in korras new world, people will constantly be asking things like that unnecessarily.

How can the avatar be above humans when the avatar *is* a human? Everything we've seen from every Avatar has suggested they think, fear, love, hope, behave like humans. The more accurate title would be the Avatar (a human) of Raava (a spirit). A human's mind. A human's judgment. A human's ability to weight the available options. Raava isn't the one making the decisions, even if she is influencing the decisions. And I'm not even convinced Raava is beyond human understanding. Why would she be? Because she's a very old spirit? How does that necessarily mean that a human mind can't understand her? Let's look at the claim that they have an almost holy level of righteousness, for example--ok, Aang wanted to spare Ozai no matter what, and Kyoshi wanted to kill him if he forced their hand. Those are at odds. Where does the divine righteousness lie? You're suggesting that Raava is some kind of God in this franchise, but I don't think the evidence backs that up. Even if she is all benevolent, she's certainly not all-knowing or possessing the intrinsic ability to always intuitively know which choice will be most effective at leading to balance. At least, nothing ever establishes that. Her judgment is not perfect.

This was an emotional episode, just brought back memories with the swamp and with Toph. I just love this show

Aaron

Korra has one of the best character developments i have ever seen, she truly became such a great avatar, even when she was dealing with so much pain and suffering. we love her

Moon

kinda weird to watch reactions to a show where you dont like the protagonist but you do you ig

Grace

I love Korra so much 🥺

Just to clear up the online factor. It was unfortunately due to ratings, people really hated on this show unjustly. It was after episode 8 of season 3 that all remaining episodes of season 3 and all of season 4 would be only online. Such a shame, especially considering the tail end of season 3 and the first half of season 4 if the best parts of the show IMO

The music in this show and this episode specifically is beautiful. How people have hour+ videos on youtube hating on this show really blows my mind.

Trent_88

I don't like korra

Either way, whether she chooses or the Universe chooses, it's not up to the people in the world to try and bring the avatar down to their level. The fact is, the Avatar is just above humans. Not that they need to be worshipped, but they have an almost holy level of righteousness given to them by forces beyond human understanding. It's good for an avatar to experience life as a normal person, but they are everything but human. So trying to question someone like that can't be done. They answer to something more than politics and laws. People won't want to heat that because it means they can't control the avatar, it may make them feel irrelevant, but its the truth.

Lorenzo Baxter

I'm not sure that's accurate...It seems implied that humans reincarnate regardless. Raava is just along for the ride since she is bonded to the spirit of the person, the spirit that gets reincarnated. The Avatar can just be more easily tracked throughout reincarnation, as they tend to stand out. It's why there's theories that the new airbenders may not just be descendants of previous Air Nomads, but may be the spirits of deceased Air Nomads re-awakened during Harmonic Convergence. That's not to say that Raava's binding doesn't probably influence the "good" in the new body so that they want to continue to strive for balance...but I wouldn't say it's her choice.

The way you talk about Korra makes me so happy and proud ngl. Korra, Azula and Kyoshi are my favourite characters from the avatarverse but I always feel protective of Korra because, as Milena said, many people don't like her and some even hate her and always talk shit about her. It makes me happy you enjoyed her character as a whole even before she started to grow as a person. And again, I would love for you to make some type of review video or something if you ever read the Kyoshi novels. I'm sure you'd adore Kyoshi even more (she's literally a 2 m walking cinnamon roll) and probably you'd also love Rangi. I think the novels have one of the best villains of the avatarverse too, so I hope you read the novels some day.

I agree, I think people who hate Korra just watched Seasons 1+2 or weren't paying attention. Not to say she's perfect but she's a great protagonist imo. Genuinely feel for her, being an Avatar is hard

Jyn Jilly

Lola, I get your point about the avatar but the thing is... you can't debate against the will of Raava. She chooses who Wan reincarnates into. So its not up to us to try and ask why the Avatar should have the power to make worldwide decisions. It's Raava as well. She knows how to keep balance, more than anyone. Whether the people like it or not, you can't question someone like that. The avatar gets that power because the Universe chose her. And that's that. Then it's up to the avatar to learn how to best keep balance in their world.

Lorenzo Baxter

Only the extended edition though. It fleshes out so much more, and let's be honest... its the only real way to watch LOTR

Lorenzo Baxter

I watched lord of the rings in theater when I was about 6, it was an amazing experience. You guys should react to lord of the rings next just to finally force Milena to watch them 😆🤣

The season was on the nick website as the company was messing around with the scheduling as they didn’t believe in the show. Or it wasn’t a show that sold toys. The gap between season 3 and 4 was only a few months if I remember right. I expected it to be a year then it was suddenly like ‘oh it’s coming in a few months!’ The vibes were just Nickelodeon wanted to be done with it.

Patrick

Just found out two days ago that Philece Sampler, the one who voiced the old Toph Beifong, died in July of this year due to a heart attack. She was 68. Sorry for the bad news, but we can still all celebrate her awesome portrayal and ability to capture Toph's spirit, as well as send good vibes to the rest of her family who are likely still grieving.

ODIS
