I've recently finished TLOK & there for joined the fandom and... Did we even watch the same show???

(Very long & passionate rant under cut)

Like mf wdym Korra is the worst/weakest Avatar? It's physically not possible for her to be the weakest as the cycle goes on the Avatar spirt gets stronger so technically the weakest Avatar is Wan!! But I still want to point out the many reasons why Korra isn't the weakest or worst Avatar.

Firstly, I want to acknowledge vaid criticisms of Korra. Yes she constantly underestimated her opponents but in her defense she was severely inexperienced. She'd spent most of her life in that training facility in the south Pole and then once she got to republic city was almost immediately thrown into dealing with the equalits so she underestimated Amon due to lack of experience. She was then manipulated by her uncle so can you really blame her for not realizing he was evil till it was too late? THAT WAS HER FAMILY!!

Anyways, Korra has faults like every Avatar but she also has feats that you all seem to forget/over look!

My main example and my favorite to bring up in this argument is; Korra on harmonic convergence after having Raava RIPPED from her (need to emphasize the fact that Korra did not give Raava up willing like some of y'all like to think, she fought to keep Raava with her and was devastated when she lost her and the past lives. She didn't give it up willingly) meaning she didn't have the Avatar state and this fight was just her pure strength against UnaVaatu.

KORRA BEAT HIS ASS WITH NO BENDING, NO AVATAR STATE, NO PAST LIVES, NO NOTHING. KORRA FIST FOUGHT THE SPIRIT OF CHAOS AND DARKNESS AND WON!

But I have more examples of how strong she truly is (there is no order to them lol).

Korra broke out of Blood bending without the Avatar state (something Aang couldn't do).

She had control over 3/4 of the elements at like five, and the only reason it took so long to master Air bending (which still only took like a few months) was because she didn't get a teacher until she was 17!

Korra fought one of the strongest air benders WHILE DYING, like ppl forget she was slowly dying during that fight. She was weakened and still won.

Now let's talk about another one of my favorite feats of hers, REDIRECTING THE AVATAR UNIVERSE VERSION OF A FUCKING NUKE. Like it was so powerful it ripped open a whole in space & time, creating a new spirit portal and she redirected it and wasn't even fazed. Like I'm 90% sure she didn't even break a sweat!

She's the first Avatar to metal bend, ik it's likely because she's the first Avatar to exist when metal bending was more common but she was metal bending in like a week! That's not something anyone can do!!

Another reason I have is technically not about her strength but more about the strength of Korra's version of Raava. When Korra re-fused with Raava, the Raava spirit was bigger than it was when it was ripped from her and alot bigger than the version Wan fused with meaning Korra has a stronger version of Raava than previous Avatars making her inherently stronger than them. When Korra re-fused with Raava, she was big enough for Korra to ride on her but when Wan fused with her Raava fit in a tea pot.

Now time to defend Korra's loses!

・Korra lost against Amon because she was inexperienced, she'd spent most of her life away from the world and wasn't prepared to fight a master water bender.

・Korra lost Raava because it was supposed to happen. Ever Harmonic convergence Raava and Vaatu fight so it's likely that ever 10,000 year's the avatar cycle will restart, also did we not watch Korra be absolutely DEVASTATED that she lost her connect with the last Avatars? Like she spends most of the time during the 4th season wishing she could talk to Aang!

・Honestly I don't even know if Korra won or lost against Zaheer but I do know she was slowly dying during the fight. She was no where near her full strength! Also, the red lotus was actively surprised at how well Korra fought against going into the Avatar state just showing her control over it.

・Korra got her ass beat in that ring in the earth kingdom because she was rusty and GOING THROUGH IT! Like she hadn't fought in 3 year's and she was still working through her turama, it's the samething when she lost to old Toph, she was rusty, still being affected by the poison, and traumatized. There was on way she was going to win in that state

・ Korra lost in her 1v1 with Kuvira because she was rusty, she hadn't fought in 3 year's and you expect her to be as good as she was before her hiatus? Bitch please! Korra quite literally goes on to go toe to toe with Kuvira at the end of the season when she'd worked through her rust.

In conclusion, Korra isn't the wort or weakest Avatar your just over looking her feats and dumbing her down because you can't except your fav isn't as strong as you think. She was ment to restart the Avatar cycle, and she also isn't even in her prime! She's 17 in the first season, 18 in season 2 & 3, and 21 in the last season, Korra is still at the beginning of her career as an Avatar. She's only going to get stronger.

Also no, I'm not a Korra glazer. She's not even my favorite Avatar, it's Kiyoshi.

New poll edit.) Poll will be tagged under" Red and blue poll" EDIT AS OF FEB 13 Polls are online pinned on blog Finale is open!!!!!

Who is the best red/blue pairing?

What is a red an blue couple you might ask?

They must have red or blue hair

They must wear clothing that is red or blue

They must have a red or blue aesthetic

Ex.

Idk if that makes sense

So all pairing should fall into one of those three

Some that I have thought up are:

Reki and Langa from Sk8 the Infinity

Caitlyn and Vi from Arcane

Korra and Asami from Legend of Korra

Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian from Mo dao zu shi or Mdzs

jedediah and octavius from Night at the Museum

some obvious ones

Keith and Lance from Voltron

Zuko and Sokka from Avatar the last airbender

Light and L from Deathnote

Soukoku from Bungou stray dogs

Kirk and Spock from Star Trek(edit) so Kirk wears yellow apparently and I'm stupid and literally know nothing about star trek so srry about that one

Phoenix and Miles from Ace attorney

I'm too lazy from images

Comment or Reblog for your suggestions

Its probably going to be a 1vs1 format since there is so many and I'm barely scratching the surface

the more I see people talking abt s2 Bolin the more I realize i am the only one who understands my favorite princess

"he's a narcissist" he was literally 16 years old in that arc and no one gave a shit abt him so he went with the only person who did. A theme of that ENTIRE season! please see exhibit A) he's all alone pro bending. Exhibit B) he's being abused by Eska and everyone he asks for help brushes him off. C) asking what he should do and being completely dismissed.

and then he literally feels awful because everyone left him behind. and also he's been manipulated to be a pawn in a civil war but WHATEVER !!!

#bolin #:v #legend of Korra #so overhated for what he's my bbg #everyone hates s2 Bolin I'll defend my baby till I die

it’s always funny to me when i see people talk about characters on television as if they are real people with a personal politics instead of constructed simulacra who are the fictionalized vessels through which writers communicate their ideas about the world and humanity. “why are you defending this evil guy who kills babies for fun!!!” well. im not “defending” them because A) they’re not real and thus do not require my defense B) critiquing the motivations of the writers in using a character to communicate an idea is not “excusing their actions” because C) their actions do not need to be excused, as they are not a real person and killing all those babies or whatever had no material consequences wrt the real babies of the world, who, if they were harmed in any way, were surely not being harmed by the dark wizard gargamel, because he is fake person made up by antisemites to communicate their antisemitism. sorry i was just reminded of the smurfs and this suddenly turned into another smurfs rant. absolutely not the point here though. my point is that character criticism that discusses characters as if they are real people, and treats discussing them as thus requiring the same moral standards and discursive approaches as when discussing real people, has always lost the plot. it’s pretty amusing to witness though.

#o #this isn’t about shipping btw this is about someone asking why i would defend kuvira from legend of korra in the tags of a post #where i quite literally call her ‘cartoonishly evil’

as much as i’d love to believe that all of tenzin’s need to rebuild the air nation is self inflicted, i don’t see a universe where aang wouldn’t have, possibly subconsciously, created or fed into that need.

rebuilding the air nation was the most important thing to aang, that was clear to everyone who knew him, especially his son, the only person who could actually help aang realise that dream. while it might never have been said explicitly, tenzin knew from a young age the only way he could have anyone like him other than his father in this world was to have children.

i do not think, in any way, aang (or katara) would have ever told tenzin he had to have children. but, i do think it was in some ways expected from him since he was young.

after tenzin and lin had been together for a while, assuming lin’s aversion to motherhood was known already, i do think aang would have changed his expectations and come to peace with tenzin being potentially the last ever airbender, but that process would have come with a lot of grief. tenzin would have already been two decades deep in the loneliness of being an airbender, and aware his father won’t live forever, and so would likely have always wanted children of his own throughout his relationship with lin.

on a related note, demonising pema for her relationship with tenzin is completely and utterly ridiculous. tenzin was probably telling the truth when he said he and lin’s relationship was spiralling downhill. of course he would find companionship and friendship with an acolyte engrossed in his culture (that he is now the last member of), and find himself drifting from someone he cares deeply for but is not after the same things in life as him. when pema talks to korra about her relationship with tenzin starting, of course she’s not going to bring up lin’s obsession with career, or aangs passing and the grief associated, or tenzin’s unending loneliness in the world, just that she saw tenzin’s relationship was going to end horribly no matter what and she cared about him. (EVERYONE WHO SPENT ANY TIME AROUND LIN AND TENZIN PROBABLY KNEW THEIR TIME WAS UP. THEY ARE BOTH EMOTIONAL PEOPLE. A STRAGGLING RELATIONSHIP AND MUTUAL UNHAPPINESS IS NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO SPOT).

anyways. it does not make aang a bad parent for hoping tenzin will bring more airbenders into the world. it does not make pema a homewrecker for dating a man after a messy (& very public) breakup.

thank you for coming to my ted talk.

ps. read inheriting the wind by acommondator on ao3 it is beautiful!!!!

If I had a nickel for everytime the Avatar fandom had an unreasonable amount if hatered for a traumatised younger sister charater, demonised her and interpreted her actions in the least charitable way possible in order to make her scarred older sibling look better, I'd have 2 nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that happened twice.

Zuko and Lin fit the mould of "traumatised but secretly a softie that can be fixed" that usually gains characters a lot of s6mpathyy for their less then stellar actions. Also a lot of (frankly exhausting) woobification.

Azula and Suyin express their trauma through less desirable/palatable behaviours, which is why they're so often overly demonised by the fandom.

#suyin and azula I will defend you to the ends of the earth #i adore zuko and lin but the way the fandom treats them does sometimes make me extremely annoyed #azula #suyin beifong #legend of korra #avatar #tlok #the legend of korra #avatar the legend of korra #atlok #lin beifong #zuko #atla #avatar: the last airbender #the last airbender #avatar the last airbender #lok
