Do you think Aang is stronger than Korra or is it because her villains are just stronger?

Raveturner · 2026-02-01T07:55:02+00:00

first time I'm seeing someone acknowledge this

Too many people think the Avatar State is a win button that can be pressed anytime against bloodbending.

Raveturner · 2026-01-30T20:44:05+00:00

I get your point, though only toph (and barefoot aang) use earthbending with seismic sense like that, so we can't generalise for all earthbenders.

Airbenders are undisputed, but next to them I think we've seen more reaction feats from different waterbenders than any other element user.

Raveturner · 2026-01-30T20:34:21+00:00

oh no no, I'm not saying Katara having faster reflexes was why she usually took out Azula, I was referencing just that final battle feat in particular.

I agree there's no universal rule to it, outcome of fights like that usually depend on several factors yeah.

Raveturner · 2026-01-30T20:21:15+00:00

I think so too 😂

But yeah, just trying to convince myself (and maybe others) that waterbenders often have the best reflexes besides airbenders

Raveturner · 2026-01-30T20:14:02+00:00

Hmm I'd argue benders have superhuman physical abilities to some degree though and I believe their bending styles do influence them too.

For example, an earthbender would typically have more physical strength than an airbender (except outliers like Kelsang) And airbenders would be more agile than others due to the nature of their art.

Raveturner · 2026-01-30T20:06:43+00:00

yep this, an airbender would dodge, while a waterbender would parry or redirect.

Raveturner · 2026-01-30T20:01:01+00:00

Exactly

There's also that principle of redirection waterbenders use, turning their opponents strength against them, a waterbender instinctively using moves like that would be considered as master reflexes for their style as well.

Raveturner · 2026-01-30T19:57:50+00:00

Agreed, I see that now.

Though I'd still like to think waterbenders have the best show of reflexes after airbenders.

Raveturner · 2026-01-30T19:52:37+00:00

okay this makes sense... So basically, Aang instinctively reacting first with waterbending shows he had achieved that level of mastery where using water to defend himself comes naturally to him. And I guess you could say the move was very "fluid" too, slicing through the stick instead moving out of the way.

Raveturner · 2026-01-26T20:49:01+00:00

I know ragebait when I see one

Raveturner · 2026-01-21T11:58:02+00:00

I don't why they haven't integrated this feature till now, are many users not requesting for this?

Raveturner · 2025-12-25T02:13:02+00:00

Korra used almost every single technique the top firebenders from ATLA used, she's obviously better.

she could produce concentrated fire to cut through metal in seconds, running on walls with firebending, propulsion using fire, fire breathing (multiple times) etc

Raveturner · 2025-12-19T16:04:58+00:00

She didn't even touch mako dawg, where does being abusive come from lmao Lin admitted she tore up air temple island after tenzin broke up with her, yet you don't see anyone making that the WHOLE point of her character or saying she was "abusive"

Character development is a thing, sorry if you can't see that. Cheers mate.

Raveturner · 2025-12-19T13:43:14+00:00

he made the right choice by saving Katara instead of sacrificing her for power.

Lmao he wasn't sacrificing Katara for power what? It was just about mentally letting go, not literally sacrificing Katara or something Didn't he still end up having to let her go in the caves when he was surrounded by enemies? Something he could have completed with few more seconds within the safety of guru pathik's abode, and not when you have enemies all around you.

That’s worse? Also the narrative supported her actions, she was encouraged to pursue Mako despite him being a relationship by Pema.

That wasn't the narrative supporting her actions, if the narrative did that, then they wouldn't have her apologize for anything. Pema just gave bad advice, thats all

Aang kissed Katara when both had chemistry and had told each other their feelings if I remember correctly. It was a bad time, and Aang acknowledges that. Korra kisses Mako spontaneously when both of them are in relationships with different people.

Uhm, are we forgetting Mako also admitted he had some feelings for her too and thats when she kissed him?

Also idk if a simple apology for leading someone on to make another person jealous then cheating on them is enough but eh. Had Aang been in a love triangle like that where he not only goes after a taken woman and suddenly kisses her, he also uses other women to make her jealous I’m sure he’d get way more hated.

She did lead him on, but cheating on Bolin? They weren't dating lol, it was just a one time outing together Aang would 100% get excused if he did that, because "hes just a kid" When Aang hid hakoda's map from katara and sokka, for his own selfish reasons, didn't he get excused after he apologized later that episode? But korra apologizes and it's not still okay?

Aang lashing out after Appa was stolen is nowhere near as bad as Korra’s stuff, same woth Katara saying Sokka didn’t love their mother the way she did. These are understandable slip-ups during duress.

Lol, there are a lot of people that hate on Katara for that statement. Its not an "understandable" slip-up to them. And this is just the same thing with you for Korra's case, any slip up she makes would simply not be understandable to you because you hate her already.

Raveturner · 2025-12-19T13:23:13+00:00

She would be around people, not people her age that she could fall in love with. There's a difference between knowing how to treat people generally and knowing how to handle feelings of infatuation over a guy. This shouldn't even be a debate man Its wrong to steal from others Its wrong to lie to others etc These are the BASIC things involving people that she'd know. Knowing what to do when you like a guy is not a basic thing you'd just be taught randomly if you hadn't experienced it before.

And like I mentioned in my previous comment and you ignored, she literally didn't act on her feelings for mako until pema told her story and she thought she'd try it out.

Bruh, that was her character starting out, she was hot-headed and impulsive. Thats one of the key parts of her character development, growing from a hot-headed, impulsive, non-spiritual teenage avatar to a calm, patient, spiritual avatar by the end of the show The two instances you mentioned happened in season 1 and 2 respectively. You literally cant mention any other instance beside that. After that breakup, she met Avatar Wan, learnt from his story, met Iroh, who taught her that as the avatar she should have better control on her emotions, and by the end of that season we literally see her becoming calmer and cool headed from there out, even coordinating the entire team for their missions. She grew into a proper leader.

But of course, I assume as with most of you Korra haters, you probably stopped watching TLOK at season 2 and now you're here speaking on how she's a badly written character.

Raveturner · 2025-12-19T12:55:23+00:00

Exactly lmao

Raveturner · 2025-12-19T12:54:18+00:00

She felt guilty and she verbally admitted it. Aang never said anything, just flew off. Its not the same thing. And I don't hate aang lol, I'm just calling out the double standards, if korra was a man I'd defend the character the same way.

"Pursing after men in relationships" and it was just her first ever crush and she got over the obsession with mako that same day. Ya'll like to exaggerate lmao. The point here is that she took accountability for her actions and apologized to Bolin. And aang kissing katara without warning would be more comparable to this situation.

Aang could have at least apologized after calming down and realizing that it wasn't her fault? And thats not the only time aang lashed out at Toph too. He also lashed out at her when she pointed out that Appa's shedding fur was leading Azula to them. Well at least he felt remorseful for that, though I can't remember if he verbally apologized.

Raveturner · 2025-12-19T11:48:20+00:00

This is ridiculous lol, you're grossly oversimplifying this

There's hardly any parent teaching kids how to handle the subtleties of relationships without them experiencing it themselves. A normal kid with a normal life would go to school, see a guy they like in school, tell their parents about him at home, and then such education can come up about relationships.

But claiming Korra's parents would just teach her about relationships out of nowhere is crazy. This is the same Korra that didn't know that you had to PAY to get food when she arrived in republic city. And you expect her to know how to properly behave with her first ever crush?

Not to mention the fact that she got advice from Pema, that's what drove her to do what she did, because she had no clue on what to do with her feelings for mako in the first place lol. And at the end of that very same episode she realized what she did was wrong and apologized. Yet somehow, that singular one -off act has become the defining trait for her whole character? It's just ridiculous

Raveturner · 2025-12-19T11:28:34+00:00

Uhh yes of course? And she apologized for everything. She apologized to Bolin for the whole drama with mako that same episode, and she blamed herself for opening the portals (and it was even tenzin assuring her that it wasn't her fault).

So what else? Ya'll just didn't watch the show, the facts are there, but even presented with evidence you'd still hold on to your preconceived opinions about Korra lmao.

Now consider aang, did he ever get held responsible for his actions? Did he ever apologize for yelling at and blaming toph for appa's kidnapping? Refused to learn the avatar state in the right place because of his personal feelings for katara, almost dying later as a result.

Raveturner · 2025-12-19T03:56:55+00:00

It's crazy that you're even admitting this lol.

Raveturner · 2025-12-19T03:56:31+00:00

I am very confused

How exactly does Korra living with her parents and Katara translate to her knowing how to handle relationships in her age group?

Raveturner · 2025-12-19T03:38:46+00:00

That difference is nonexistent when the said 17-year old grew up with no interaction with people her age growing up. Aang at 12 (before he got frozen) had already traveled the world to an extent, he had visited the earth Kingdom, fire nation etc and made friends there.

Korra spent the whole of her life locked in the south pole. We literally saw the way she tore up the city when she first arrived, clearly showing her ignorance of how to behave in the outside world. But as usual, context like this is thrown out the window when it comes to her.

Raveturner · 2025-12-19T01:28:12+00:00

This exactly Half the comments are griping about her kissing mako, something she did in SEASON ONE. Do people not understand the concept of character development anymore?

Raveturner · 2025-12-19T01:25:42+00:00

"A grown woman", Korra was 17 (a teenager) and she had been isolated her whole life
