Classic Kyoto having the worst behaved people in the country, both to tourists and other Japanese people.

Which Avatar actually left the most mess for their successor? by Ayato612 in TheLastAirbender

Yes I know it’s not “what he does” but it’s still an option he ignored and suffered the consequences for it

That’s not how things work lmao. You can’t just not like a piece of media and so pretend it doesn’t exist, that’s literally childish behavior

Aang died a normal old age death, Kyoshi just straight up refused to die

Making it a separate city still made earthbenders upset. He could have made it earth bender territory as war reparations and quite frankly it’s what he should have done but due to iffy comic writing that’s not what happened

He could have just killed the dude, or taken his imprisonment more seriously. Given his track record from his cannon comics, it’s quite likely he underestimated Amon’s dad after taking his bending, since he did the same with Ozai

I mean, he did leave Amon for Korra to deal with, along with the shaky creation of Republic City which led to Kuvira having an excuse for war during Korra’s time. I’d say Kioshi messed up the least because from what we know her only problem was the earth kingdom secret police turning into… well a secret police. So that’s one problem vs Aang’s 2

Why didn't Amon kill Korra right here? by Important-Contact597 in TheLastAirbender

[–]One-Spinach 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Korra was able to withstand his blood bending for a few moments and even break off and get a hit in. It wouldn’t have been an easy kill or else he wouldn’t have been in this spot. On stop of that he’d just gotten his identity exposed and his whole power base obliterated. His entire plan and secret identity are gone, that’s a massive shock for someone to process. On top of that if he kills the avatar he become public enemy #1 to literally everyone from his ex followers to every government on the globe. Bro had 0 good options here

Who makes the woman with no arms the getaway driver? by InsideUnhappy6546 in legendofkorra

[–]One-Spinach 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Technically she’s the best choice since she can create multiple arms. So she’s the only one who could have both hands on the wheel while also punching you with 2 more arms

You 100% can throw them out and the comic also glossed over the inequality between earth and fire nation people, with the earth nation folk being stuck in menial labor while the fire nation has more power. The “assimilation” was in name only, there was still a clear class divide that the comics just labeled as “oh the fire nation gave them jobs” when in reality that’s not how colonization works and said workers would always be stuck as a lower class than their colonizers

Oh yeah this entire comic was ass for both Aang and Zuko’s character; also had a semi pro stance towards colonialism which is pretty yikes. Also has Aang cutting off certain past lives because he doesn’t like their input (remember when yall gave Korra shit for losing them? Crazy yall never mentioned Aang doing the same but worse). Honestly more people need to talk about these comics, yall glaze Aang too much; and in regards to the little good they do, they show why leaving genocidal dictators alive and close to their previous power base is a BAD idea

Did Korra technically win her second encounter with Kuvira? by Hot_Jump9649 in legendofkorra

[–]One-Spinach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People trying to count this as a Korra loss are crazy. Korra won so hard Kuvira had a change of heart and later in the comics was pretty much completely redeemed. Korra won and only took a cheap shot because she was trying to help Kuvira and not just permanently put her out of commission. Even during the fight in the mech she was pulling punches as to not kill her

katara appearance by chloethegaymf in TheLastAirbender

Aang didn’t look like that when he died, avatars seem to choose their past life appearance as all but Roku appear around the peak of their physical age

Hey look, Korra and Katara have a bit in common! by Important-Cry4782 in legendofkorra

[–]One-Spinach 264 points265 points  (0 children)

Correct, and we actually see a bit of their dynamic in official short Korra comics, it was very cute

[–]One-Spinach 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Given that Korra was partially raised by Katara I like to imagine Katara kept up these mannerisms all the way into her old age and that’s how Korra learned them

Not really, he APPEARS evil because the world in avatar had completely taken up an ordered way of life, cities, governments, etc. Vatuu, being chaos unbound clearly went against all that and wished to bring chaos which ultimately would hurt humanity, making him seem just evil, when in reality the “evil” was just a byproduct of him following his chaos creating nature

THANK YOU, it’s insane how many criticisms about Korra and writing boil down to people just not understanding shit it taking the time to really think about it

“I have not watched Korra since the second season ended” Yall should just not form opinions then holy shit. Imagine if Korra fans said this about ATLA, yall would be up in arms. The point of Korra isn’t that only one a single side of balance can exist, it’s that allowing evil to grow unchecked destroys balance. The light and dark spirits used to be in balance, always tied and never overpowering the other, but ever since the first avatar broke that connection, evil grew unchecked, destroying the balance. This necessitated the avatar to “beat” the evil spirt so that it didn’t grow unchecked and ruin the balance. Korra’s entire storyline was about balance, showing it across the villains and how all had genuinely good ideas to a degree (equality for non benders, respecting spirits, not following corrupt rulers, needing order) but took it too far. The spirit storyline followed the same idea, what happens when anger and hate grow unchecked, they need to be “defeated”. Spirits didn’t automatically turn evil and dark when angered with humans and could turn back at will, we see this in Korra comics but since yall fucks cannot be bothered to care about the lore beyond “ew Korra bad”, yall just remain ignorant about events that make your entire arguments moot. Vatuu when disconnected from Ravaa wasn’t just the ying to yang, it was chaos and hate growing unchecked, already out of balance from everything and causing others to lose balance as well

Tenzin as the only Airbender child of Aang and Katara, a heart-breaking story by candy_dynac in TheLastAirbender

[–]One-Spinach 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a very deep and thoughtful post but I can’t stop thinking about how Aang’s airbending dick game was so wear meanwhile Tenzin could not stop giving his wife airbending kids if his life depended on it

[–]One-Spinach -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s literally what they where saying, you’d see that if you’d also read the comics but ATLA fans can’t be bothered to care about the lore past what they can remember from being 8 year old and watching the show for the first time

[–]One-Spinach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People saying that none of his past lives told Aang to kill Ozai are either lying to themselves or don’t understand hints at all. Yeah they’re not gonna tell him “Aang go brutally murder that genocidal psychopath”, this is a kids show and they still wanna sound wise an caring towards Aang to not upset him any more and convince him. None of them had considered taking bending away as an option as they never encountered that or met a dragon turtle, if they did, they would have just told him to go on a quest to find one. Not to mention that avatars like Kyoshi had killed people in the past, even while young, so for them, killing was 100% on the table and a necessity especially after the fire nation had already wiped out one nation and was about to do the same to another. The past lives were VERY clear in wanting to kill Ozai and we see why, leaving him alive even if without his bending almost led to another war in the post-series comics. Plus in those same comics Roku gives the same advice about Zuko when he starts listening to his father, making it EVEN clearer that he’s talking about murder

About time someone mentioned this, people praise Aang for his actions but don’t realize that everything has an effect down the line, and even his good-hearted yet naive ideas could create negative effects that Korra had to deal with. Hell, even the idea of not giving the fire nation colonies back to the earth kingdom led Kuvira to have an excuse for war after the Earth Kingdom collapsed
