That’d be great if they explored it, but those themes in the probending get all of two minutes of screentime. Can’t give artists credit for ideas they *could’ve* explored

Ok, just watching this now, but I'm impressed that you're totally overanalyzing a series you professed to not have watched super multiple times! Personally, I loved Korra, though with a lot of reservations, mostly around the annoying teen romance and some of the side characters. Also, I'm impressed with the judicious clips that evaded DMCA takedowns: there's no scalable way to get around that these days, much as I miss the original OA episodes that ended up getting taken down frequently. Bravo!!

probending also serves as a symbol of the evolution of bending in a post-war society. It reflects a significant shift from the primarily combative and elemental mastery of bending to a more structured, rule-bound, and spectator-oriented sport. In this new era, benders like Mako and Bolin aren't soldiers or warriors by necessity; they are athletes, celebrities even, navigating the complexities of a world where bending has become as much about entertainment and competition as it is about cultural heritage and self-defense. It’s an intricate dance of the old and new worlds, traditional powers in a contemporary setting.
