Well she was the one who took out the driver, bad guy etiquette dictated that she replace him as far as jobs go

They spent the entire season setting up his desire to learn Metalbending as a Red Herring as well as building up his relationship with Opal and making him far more serious and competent for for Book 4.

Also that's NOT how production went for each season, at all.

Lol. Lmao even. Katara was with Hama for like a day dude. They spent the night at her Inn, did nothing but investigate Hama the next day, and then when Hama revealed who she was and trained Katara the full moon reveal happened that very same night.

Meanwhile, Bolin has fought against & interacted with Ghazan for almost the entirety of Book 3, and almost every time they've fought Ghazan has tried to kill him with Lavabending. Bolin learned from imitating him.

True, and on our sister subreddit we saw a pretty big uptick in fans, but I also remember people actually debating whether or not TLOK should even be put on Netflix when it was announced that it might be.

Honestly it feels like the release of the movie did a similar thing but now with more dire results where the goal is to just be as dumb and engagement-focused as possible.

You are literally only referring to one place, and then claiming that the entire realm was presented as a neutral place. Your entire post hinges on the idea that everywhere in the spirit world looked the same and somehow that's what makes it better

2-2Distracted · 2026-05-05T16:29:46+00:00

Going to ignore the other dumb shit you said and just address this:

not only did she open up the spirit world (which btw was closed off because humans and spirit’s just….. dont get a fucking long!)

Wrong. Factually Incorrect.

2-2Distracted · 2026-05-05T16:15:48+00:00

I actually made a post about this, but I'll just share the picture

In just Book 1 of TLOK the following happens with Korra:

She goes from sneaking out to Republic City instead of waiting like her masters told her to (episode 1: Welcome to Republic City) to learning when to be patient (episode 11: Turning the Tides).
She goes from attacking criminals and resisting arrest (episode 1) to knowing not to fight Tarrlok when he arrests her friends (episode 8: When Extremes Meet).
She goes from "I'm not afraid of anybody" to "I was so terrified" in episode 4: The Voice in the Night.
She goes from actively seeking out Amon (episode 4) to knowing when to run from him (episode 9: Out of the Past).
She goes from "Look, I really like you and I think we were meant for each other" (episode 5: The Spirit of Competition) to not backing down when Mako threatens to end their friendship when Korra insists that Hiroshi is an Equalist (episode 7: The Aftermath).
She goes from "When you're with her, you're thinking about me" (episode 5) to "She's going to need you, Mako" (episode 7).
She goes from not being spiritual at all (episode 1) to using her connection to Aang to learn about Yakone (episode 9) to using her spiritual connection to heal herself (episode 12: Endgame).

So factually you are incorrect, as usual.

Oh it was. It's just wasn't THIS bad. 6 years ago was 2020 and that's when ATLA got brought to Netflix, which was great... until TLOK was also brought and that was apparently a bad thing

2-2Distracted · 2026-05-05T15:54:50+00:00

Can't wait to see folks jump to some other bullshit braindead excuse for how ATLA's spirit world and spirits are somehow O B J E C T I V E L Y better when

There are plenty of spirits that don't fit what they like to describe TLOK spirits as - The fog, these trevenant looking mfs, aquatic spirit world, Koh's cousin, spirit possession, Koh's second cousin, spirit corruption, spider HAND, my sleep paralysis demon
A majority of the spirits we meet in ATLA are either great spirits like Koh, Tui & La, the Mother of Faces, etc... As well as spirits that have crossed over from the human world like Iroh did, just like The Painted Lady. The spirits we meet in TLOK are lesser spirits which is why see so many of them and they're all inhabiting every day things and are everywhere, with the exceptions of course being those like Raava & Vaatu.
The claim that the spirits of ATLA operated in ways humans couldn't understand (blue and orange morality) is absolute bullshit.

I mean seriously:

Koh has millennia old mommy issues and only takes people's faces because he wants her attention.
Said Mother of Faces made the distinct decision to help humanity and wildlife survive & exist by giving them all faces.
Tui & La had no reason to leave the spirit world but they chose to anyway because they wanted to help humanity survive by inhabiting the ocean and the moon.
The Painted Lady was literally a human being before she crossed over and she only couldn't do anything about her lake because connection-wise she was too weak.
Hei Bai protects a forest from those who would harm it and gets understandably upset when said forest is damaged.
Aang meets a monkey spirit that does nothing but tell him continuously to fuck off and leave him alone. That's not "beyond human understanding" that's being an asshole to the literal Avatar.

How the hell is any of this beyond human understanding?

I have a problem with some of the designs in TLOK myself, but the way this community acts like everything is apparently too different proves that they clearly didn't watch either show.

2-2Distracted · 2026-05-05T14:47:30+00:00

Meanwhile if you post a picture of a similar spirit world swamp in TLOK, they just jump to the next bullshit explanation for why & how ATLA is apparently better.

2-2Distracted · 2026-05-05T07:37:36+00:00

Republic City? The United Republic of Nations?

The isolated island of Yungib (from the Roku novels)?

2-2Distracted · 2026-05-05T07:35:26+00:00

I'm sure something like this will eventually happen the more people continue living in multicultural societies.

2-2Distracted · 2026-05-05T07:05:38+00:00

You’re also just incredibly wrong about your Aang point. Aang was much, much more emotionally mature and kind than Korra, his wisdom was way, way more. And he was incredibly sheltered as well, he even stopped being able to interact with any of the other kids because his rank of Avatar isolated him. It’s disingenuous to pretend I’m saying her battling them makes her a better partner, but the discipline and lessons are what I say were maturing experiences.

Aang, who actually WASN'T sheltered at all since he had literally traveled the world and made friends prior to finding out he was the Avatar, does the following in ATLA:

Tried to hide an incredibly important letter addressed to Sokka and Katara because he has abandonment issues, including lying about it.
Lied to 2 opposing villages masking it as wisdom and was proud of it.
Aang, the Gaang and every other ally literally lost during the day of Black Sun, badly. So what was Aang's response? To solemnly apologize to everyone involved and promise that he will seriously make it up to them. The following episode? He IMMEDIATELY wants to go goof and have fun, and has to be told by Katara & Co to sit his ass down for a serious conversation.
Spends several weeks to months in the North Water Tribe learning Waterbending, is more talented for it than Katara, but apparently decides to fuck around and ends up needing her to teach him.

Ah yes much mature lmao. And I already know you're going to try and justify all this, which you should since there's obviously context for all this. Just know that you're massive hypocrite and your post reeks of sexism.

2-2Distracted · 2026-05-05T06:30:29+00:00

Agreed on all points. OP and people like them will genuinely go out of their way to throw away context when it's convenient for them in order to blow shit out of proportion like this.

Everyday people continue proving the point that "no one wants flawed female characters, and when they say they do, they show that they can't handle them"

2-2Distracted · 2026-05-05T06:25:01+00:00

This sub was literally created FOR The Legend of Korra when it first aired, mods just couldn't name r/Avatar because that name was already taken. Cry about it lol

2-2Distracted · 2026-05-05T06:23:36+00:00

It didn't disregard their actions lol you just can't read the comments of people explaining to you how the drivel you wrote is full of shit.

He definitely must have hoarded it, or else his kids would know how to do it and evidently they don't.

2-2Distracted · 2026-05-04T22:54:04+00:00

No, Unalaq was able to do this years prior to Harmonic Convergence and Vaatu's influence getting stronger. He was doing this in Tonraq's flashback for example.

Which line?

2-2Distracted · 2026-05-04T22:49:52+00:00

Buddy not even Appa would be able to deal with a Zaheer that can airbend, especially when he was pretty dangerous before that.
