innthemakings: ryansyn: element-of-change: Korra + Impossible Redirection Aqueous + Ferrous Fluids This last gif is actually really cool when you consider that Kuvira bent the meteor rock (the ferrous fluid) as if it were just a soft metal – while Korra is bending it like water because she’s trained in water bending and knows how […]

I don’t think anything will ever bring me as much joy as watching Book 3 and 4 of Legend of Korra after reading the comics. I feel like I’m watching it with fresh eyes knowing that Korra and Asami were indeed falling for each other throughout those seasons, and that all those smiles and stares truly meant something. The comics gave me a whole new appreciation for all of their moments through out the series, and that’s saying something considering I’ve loved their love since the beginning. I guess seeing it continue to be validated and explored upon more throughout the comics has made it even more real for me than it already was.

The whole ordeal over Korra not being able to Airbend until much later gives me a lot more emotions than I thought it would. 

Airbending basically demands freedom. The ability to no longer feel constrained, and move without limitations. 

Tenzin says in Book 1 that the Avatar’s most difficult element to learn is the one opposite to their personality. For Aang it was Earthbending, and for Korra it was Airbending. 

I think this is mainly because Korra was immediately trained to be the Avatar, whereas Aang was at least given a chance to be normal. He even earned his tattoos before he was informed of this huge responsibility. He was allowed to be free, which is why Earthbending was such a struggle for him: he had to be grounded (lol) for once. 

For better or worse (perhaps more the latter), Korra was told the “good” news when she was only a baby.

There was a post I saw on Tumblr a while ago, which said that A:TLA is about a human learning to be the Avatar. And TLOK is about the Avatar learning to be human. This is definitely the case. While I won’t compare the two Avatars, Korra went through so much shit when she was a teenager, up until she was in her twenties, and I do think this stems from the fact she was brought up as this weapon, not really as a normal person.

Not to mention the only real friend she had was Naga, until she followed Tenzin to Republic City. I mean, this kid has lived her life under protection, with barely anybody to socialise with, and has had it rammed into her head that she is the Avatar from a frighteningly early age. She has been disciplined harshly, been trained thoroughly, and has had many limitations set on her. It’s no surprise Airbending (the ability to be free) is so foreign to her.

To say Korra is the worst Avatar makes no sense to me. I think it’s pretty fucking remarkable she survived, mentally especially, after everything that has been thrusted at her. It gives the ending of Book 3 a much sweeter note. Korra walks into another world, another life, holding onto a girl who has never once shown her limits. Who literally makes her free.

Asami’s dress for Varrick’s wedding is like the most beautiful thing I have ever seen drawn on a 2D animated character. like

Yep.

So, Korra’s final fight with Kuvira:

On repeated watch, I realize that not only was Korra back to fighting form and confidence but fighting in tight spaces is something that Korra’s been trained and specialized in since Book 1 with pro-bending, and then that pro-bending MMA ring in Book 4.

The fight was entirely in Korra’s wheelhouse. Creative use of space and her environment with her full arsenal of bending under her belt. 

Korra owned this fight and even without the Colossus exploding I think Korra would have won in the end. Except Kuvira doesn’t know when to give up, and instead of giving up, she did more damage unleashing a Spirit Vine beam, nearly killing her and destroying Republic City.

Fortunately, Korra intervened and showed everyone why she’s the real MVP. 

And to think in Book 1 she could barely connect with her spiritual side, and then to Book 4 when she steps in front of a wild and unfocused spirit energy beam and creating a Spirit Portal right in the middle of Republic City.
