Overanalyzing Korra: Kuvira's Gambit
Added 2025-03-04 18:15:56 +0000 UTCIs it really a gambit if you have a robot the size of a building

The Baatar Jr hostage has one of the most infuriating moments in the whole show for me. At first when she says "I'll never let you see her ever again", I thought it kind of took away her good guy status. May not be physically harming him, but still threatening to make him suffer if he doesn't do what she wants. But then, I figured she must be doing it because she knew Kuvira would attack anyway, thus proving to Baatar that she's evil and convincing him to help them. But thennnnnn... Nope, none of that. Not only was Korra essentially okay with torturing him as long as it passed nickelodian censors, but the writers also couldn't capitalize on good writing when they stumbled onto it by accident...

2025-03-06 21:18:26 +0000 UTCIt seems to just be a passive strength boost that the avatar has. Basically, the red lotus could’ve capped Korra by identifying any toddlers in the water tribe that can bench 240

2025-03-06 19:39:59 +0000 UTCThe avatar state strength boost always jumped out at me too but it becomes slightly less of a problem when you rewatch bitter work and see aang, at 12 years 99 pounds, carrying an ostrich horse sized boulder on his back, while clearly not in the avatar state and not being a proficient enough earthbender for the feat to be handwaved.

2025-03-06 19:37:18 +0000 UTCI think the runescape joke and dart gags were some of the funniest bits yet across your atla and korra videos

2025-03-05 08:10:04 +0000 UTCKorra deadlifting a grown man, at full arm extension, confirms my theory that bending makes you superhuman. We see benders walk off human sized boulders and fire blasts but the instant a non-bender gets hit they crumple *Cough* Cough* Jet.

2025-03-05 00:48:44 +0000 UTCTo me the Batarr Jr threat is the closest the show and maybe even series ever gets to just being a cartoon. Like OA says as soon as they return him Kuvira she just blows up Republic City, she’s evil. But obviously since it’s a kids show they can’t threaten to murder the guy, but it reminds of the 4kids one piece dub where they have Nami’s mom locked in a dungeon instead of executed.

2025-03-04 23:49:39 +0000 UTCRandom fact: In the German version, Bolin says at the beginning of the next episode that he's lifting a massive METAL wall, which implies that he's a metalbender—something that isn’t stated in the original version. Don't know why they did that...

2025-03-04 20:55:52 +0000 UTCYou ever see that episode of Futurama where time skips years ahead for random people? The Earth Empires ability to spawn tech out of no where is basically that
