- Airbender or Korra?
Subscribe to CBR: bit.ly/Subscribe-to-CBR
Well Avatar fans, it’s finally time for the entire franchise to be located in one convenient place for us to watch over and over again. That’s right, The Legend of Korra is dropping on Netflix and I couldn’t be more excited to have a reason to rewatch the legendary sequel to Avatar: The Last Airbender.
If there was any denying it before, there’s certainly no denying it now that Avatar: The Last Airbender is one of the greatest American animated series of all time! It is a property that seems to only get better with age and each subsequent rewatch. A lot of this has to do with the complex magic/martial arts system that it puts into place called bending. The original series utilizes this system extraordinarily well, but I’d say that its sequel series builds on these ideas and even improves upon many of them.
During Avatar: The Last Airbender, many skills and techniques were created and perfected. Arts like metalbending, energybending and the wickedly disturbing bloodblending were all revolutionized during this time in the Avatar universe. All of these skills are very much in play during Korra’s timeline.
The series also shows what kind of technological advances can come with new bending skills and unity amongst the world’s people. We get all sorts of cool new concepts like motorized vehicles, mecha suits and even a really cool sport!
So let’s not waste any time! Here are all the reasons why the bending in Korra is even stronger than in the original series!

I think we can all agree that Avatar is one of the most well written works of fiction
Bro wtf everywhere I go I see you
Atla*
@@erkziltonz Bruh this dude just corrected a correct statement like avatar is short for alta and alta is short for avatar the last airbender
@@chiller440 Avatar by itself could include LoK.
@@chiller440 avatar could include Korra, Korra has garbage writing, so this person specified that Avatar THE LAST AIRBENDER, has good writing. Hope this helped.
Amon doesnt energy bend. Energy is a completely different bending style that only the avatar has because a lion turtle gave aang the ability. Amon used blood bending to seal off their ability to bend
Thats what I was about to say
Was it just bloodbending? I always thought it was a mix of bloodbending and chi block
Ditzy Introvert yeah just blood bending. I honestly think it would have been better if he still had a similar back story but couldn’t bend. Then he could have actually mastered spirit bending.
Would have strengthened his season theme instead of ruining it in the end with his “reveal” to the equalists
@@Super_freaKY bit of both
@Ditzy Introvert. His brother explained it to Korra.
Y’all ever wondered how cold the GAANG got as adults 😤‼️ like in ATLA they weren’t even close to their primes they were all literally kids with very very high ceilings 😂
And once he hit Korra's age had to be airbending planets outta orbit lol
Sanchez Brown it was literally a show full of prodigies tbh 😂
I would imagine they would all have to be prodigies. in order the teach aang the other 3 elements. any other Avatar had a few years on average aang had to do it within a year. And if you think about he didn't even get a full year to do it.
I was wondering that too!! like man I would seriously love to see them go all out as adults, stronger, faster and more agile than ever
Toph was in here prime tho
After they say “Amon energy bends”
1 MiLlIOn comments
What. haha
Lol
Lol
There are several problems with video. The two biggest that stand out:
1. Only the Avatar can energy bend. Aang was gifted this ability from a lion turtle. What we saw in Korra was a form of blood bending.
2. Kuvira was only able to beat Korra because she was weakened. Otherwise Kuvira needed help from a giant mecha to stand a chance.
only somewhat to the second one
Their final fight was still pretty close tho, the machine exploding is what made korra win cuz kuvira's weapon was destroyed.
About the energybending, currently in time only the avatar can. But if someone else were to visit the lion turtle they too could learn it, right?!
@@stefan3597 Korra was getting her butt whooped in underground fighting tournaments, by her sparring partners, and random street thugs. Kuvira knew this going in, which was the only reason she was confident she could win. After recovering from Zaheer's metal poisoning, she never quite made it back to 100%, even by the finale. Also, Korra didn't use Avatar State.
It's assumed only Avatars can energybend due to them being part spirit. Raava's spirit gives the Avatar a connection to all the spiritual energy. However, there still appears to be some indirect ways non avatar benders can affect energy through their bending. Like Jinora and Unalaq for example.
@@stefan3597 If korra was around water it's be no contest tbh.
Unalaq used water bending to vanquish the spirits. Wasn't it a form of energy bending?
When Korra lost her memory, the old lady fire bender used fire to read up on Korra's spirit and energy to determine that her spirit was damaged by a dark spirit. That energy reading was a small scale energy bending.
Amon didn’t master aang technique to take bending away. Aang used energy bending and Amon used blood bending
Wait who copied me?
exactly!
I'm starting to think CBR has a problem with the last Airbender
I would agree but they actually made some good points in this one
@Ken John. I need flesh bending to be a thing. There are a lot more lion turtles right?
@@zombiedemon1762 i think fleshbending could be invented with waterbending/bloodbending 'i think' cuz bloodbending is the ability to bend the person's inner fluids
@Ditzy Introvert. Yes. Every cell of us is atleast a little wet right? Bend the liquid to bend the flesh.
Yall on some next level shit lol
Amon doesn't energy bend he uses a form of blood bending to sever someone's connection with their bending ability
Because the Avatar is part spirit i ask can death bending exist? Undead fire benders in avatar.
The only thing that bothered me about book 1 was the lack of explaining they did about how blood bending can block their bending abilities. I am sure the creators explained it at some point but for me i wish it was addressed in the show
how many videos have they made so far
Horny Bitch Rodgers what
@@JA-dy4xo he used bloodbending to disrupt the flow of energy through the body and close some chakras thus preventing the bender from bending but my real question is that healing by waterbending works in a similar fashion (both involve redirecting chi paths) so theoretically if done correctly,a waterbender could restore a person's bending if they lost it by bloodbending so Katara should have managed to heal Korra
I like both Atla and Lok but i gotta say, even though Lok showed more of the subcategories of the 4 main elements, I'd much prefer seeing benders fight with variety in their movements and attacks rather than what I can only describe as a boxing match but with elements thrown in for dramatic effect...
Word though.
A more accurate title: "How Bending Progressed in The Avatar World."
A more clickbait-y title: "Why Bending is Better In Korra Than in The Last Airbender.
I agree
Yeah but in progression part 1 about how the first avatar was born they show the same bending technique with fire when that wasn't suppose to exist yet, like fire bending without a source of fire.
Ehhhh. I think that the writers got a lot more creative with how to use bending. So, yeah, the bending did progress in-universe, but it’s because the WRITERS got more creative.
yes precisely
@@zacmaffeo5759 last time they didnt think more to invent more bending styles.
Amon wasn't an energy bender. He used blood bending to take away people's bending. Waterbenders heal by opening up chi pathways and directing the flow of energy. He permanently took away people's bending by blocking the chi pathways.
spot on
Amon is not energy bending it's blood bending a advance version of tye Lee's cheese block
Exactly... which is why Amon's henchmen chi blocked as well...Amon was on another level
Cheese block?
Korra: breaths
Someone: your the worst avatar ever
@@drwatermelon3428 you're*
It's like chi blocking from inside the body. That makes it permanent. Blood bending is op.
Amon was not a Energy bendier he was just a bloode bendier
@VladaBenzin u kidding energybending can only be done by the avatar
Amon uses bloodbending to completely block chakras so that chi cant flow and the bender cant bend
@@dslvlx no completely blocked chakras cant be opened by normal means it should be opened by energtbending or a physical hit
@@dslvlx its not energy bending only the avatar can do that amon uses bloodbending to block the chakras
@@dslvlx The air avatar before Imiq also was an energybender so I think only air avatars get energy bending?
"Their metal-bending skill wasn't quite enough to take on the Earth Empire though"
Depends on your point of view. Kuvira took Zaofu's security forces with her, meaning they pretty much were the core of the Earth Empire's military.
Also, I know it's been mentioned, but Amon didn't have Energy Bending, he used Bloodbending (I assume combined with Chi Blocking).
I would just like to say, why does no one else call him Sparky Sparky Boom Man??? That was the better name!!
In your opinion
Right!
Sparky Sparky Boom Man is the best name
@@SoRa-re1yd ye couldn't tell he was joking fsr well that was 2 months ago
Amon, Zaheer, Ozai and Azula are the Best Villians from Avatar The Last Airbender and The Legend Of Korra.
Personally wouldn't put ozai with them
Sean Parker literally. Zhao is better
SUCC neither of them. Kuvira, Amon, Zaheer and Azula were the best villains
JeremyRD LaMaxima i know, but it is still a better choice than ozai
Neji Hyuga there is no reply in ba sing se
Fun fact: Kovira was voiced by Zelda Williams the daughter of Robin Williams.
And the goddaughter of Christopher Reeve.
@@vetarlittorf1807 That I didn't know.
That is a fun fact
@Jmt1000 Well, I mean she did force her way into power so you're not wrong. and friendly reminder that just because you don't like something, doesn't mean it's bad writing. it just makes you look like you don't know what poor writing is.
@Jmt1000 Im not a fan of LOK or ATLA. This is purely objective because I got to the party late-- I watched them both blind roughly last year. and the only thing about LOK that I disliked was the tropes and the fact that at sometimes what they were trying to show wasn't properly conveyed. The story went A to B. it wasn't as over-arching as what ATLA was trying to do. however, again that doesn't mean it's 'bad writing' The implications of that means the story is obscure and hard to follow. I would argue that LOK has a story easier to follow and ATLA.
solid vid, but regarding Amon, he didn't master aangs technique, there was no spirituality behind Amon's technique, he used bloodbending to block chi permanently
Josh Charpentier also information about Korra kinda blows. She didn’t know how to air bend until she got to tenzen and in the video they say she was already using all 4 bending techniques. Just wrong but ok.
@@christopherguerra9537 yeah I agree, there was def some other points of miss-info but o wells
Stopped watching a soon as these fools said Amon was energy bending... gtfo can’t even get their facts straight 👎🏻
Facts
I didnt even watch the video i just checked the comments to see if the title was really as stupid as it sounded
@Eden Mcdaid. Korra is awesome. It has the dark avatar.
@Eden Mcdaid. And it kept the big talking owl who thinks it knows ten thousand things. I love it when he gets beat and learns Sokka style. Or however you spell his name.
@AC Prophet. Is Hama secretly the mother of Katara?
Ahman wasnt removing bending like aang did. He used blood bending to block chi or whatever where as Aang’s version is permanent and can NOT be fixed.
I love both shows... I just don't like that Korra lost the connection with the past lifes and the relationships between the characters 😒.. From the side Atla is the definition of perfection I love everything 😍
They should of never had “Vatu” and “Rava” exist. There was no reason to explain the Avatr Spirit and the origins. Just leave it a mystery. The people want answers until they don’t like the answer. Creators who leave these things mysteries keeps people excited and interested.
@@christopherguerra9537 you're right but you have to admit Avatar Wan's story was incredible...they should have made a different show for Avatar Wan if they wanted to explain us the Avatar think😂.....
@@christopherguerra9537 No, it's not. You have to explain. If the show hadn't done it, there would have been comics about it, theories. Proof that people want to know.
How else can you explain the extremely special status of the Avatar?
@@iceace4277 there wasn’t a need for further explanation. Every one knew there was the Avatar Spirit and that in reincarnated into the next element in the cycle. That’s all that was needed to be known. One can infer that a spirit combined with a man.
@@christopherguerra9537 Yes, but why this cycle? Where did it come from? It was just as well to know.
Did Avatar the last Airbender introduced new types of bending where it is being used often in the Legend of Korra?
Lightning and metal bending are the 2 advanced forms of fire and Earth bending that were quite rare in the show, metal bending literally being invented by Toph Beifong before our eyes. In legend of Korra metal benders make up the republic city police force as well as Toph's daughter runs a prestigious earth and metal bending school with lots of followers. Lightning bending is now being used to power the city and machines so quite a few fire benders know how to do it now
LoK introduced lavabending, flight, and spirit bending
Jonathan Johnson didn’t roku lavabend in avatar tho?
@@kaylam9928 yes, I ment for non Avatars
@@kaylam9928 I believe he earthbended the ground apart and seeing they were on a volcano, the lava underneath rose up making it seem like he was lava bending but he wasn't.
The second I heard you say Amon and Energybending in the same sentence I was gone lmao.
10:14 not all four, she didn’t know how to air bend until she was 17, when she travels to Republic City.
nice catch
I'm surprised you made it that far
Amon was "energybending"? Right. Probably wasn't a smart idea to have someone,who isn't well-versed about a series with such a large fanbase, explain this.
On another note: Although I do like LoK, I also do think that Bending lost a lot of what made it special.
Okay, so, that title was the strongest cap.
Vlad Valentine this vid is a bait
So many problems with this video...
1. New Bending concepts: Avatar had just as many if not more new bending concepts in their generation. Metal Bending, Energybending, Bloodbending, Facebending, Lightning Redirection... All of the examples you provided were basically expansions of these concepts. However, Avatar not only created new concepts for their generation, but the entire platform of bending in general across the board.
2. Amon didn't energybend. He used Bloodbending to permanently block the chi paths in the body. Which was easily undone by Aang's energybending.
3. Chi Blocking is an ancient art that predates Korra and Avatar(and was used in both shows)... So why are you still giving Korra credit for this?
4. Probending is not a new concept: Earth Rumble in Avatar was basically the same concept(there was even a character based off a WWE superstar), but only for earthbenders. Korra basically expanded on this concept to include other benders, since Republic City had benders from all nations.
5. Korra was weakened when she fought Kuvira, and Kuvira knew this since she had intel. She quite literally mentioned it during their bout("I know you're a little rusty"). At that point, Korra had lost to all of her sparring partners, fighters in underground earthbending tournaments, and to random street thugs. Their final battle inside of the giant mecha(after Korra gained back most of her mojo) was MUCH closer, and comparable to Aang's fight with Ozai. And no Avatar State was used in that fight.
6. Lavabending isn't a new concept in Korra: Avatar Roku, Kyoshi and Szeto were all shown lavabending in Avatar.
7. Aang didn't need a glider to fly. At least not once he mastered his Avatar State. He flew all throughout his fight with Ozai in his Avatar State.
8. Korra didn't show skill with all four elements when she was first discovered. It was only three elements. She had no skill or ability with airbending, and her spiritual connection was even worse. It took Aang less than a year to master the remaining three elements including his Avatar State at the age of 12. Which is far more impressive. Korra didn't master three elements until she was 16 and couldn't get passed her airbending and avatar state blocks, which resulted in outside forces needing to unlock those for her(Amon and Aang).
9. Korra needed to use energybending to defeat Vaatu because Raava had been stripped from her body. Aang along with other Avatars have been able to face Vaatu and other spirits with only the elements.
The bending was better in Avatar since they actually incorporated real martial arts into the concepts of bending in general. Korra moved away from that in exchange for sharp punches and jabs, which made the bending look visually less pleasing. Now, this wasn't the case for all the bending in the show, but at the start they attempted to downplay this concept. There was also a whole lot less grandiose bending in Korra like what we witnessed in Avatar. Splitting cities in half, erupting volcanoes or launching numerous houses with a single flex. Korra expanded more on the concepts that were already introduced, but Avatar still edges them out with doing things better on a fundamental level and being the more inventive/diverse.
Damn....... You did a video on this once?
Or you're like the greatest avatar fan on youtube 😁
Well done 👏
And your completely right. I thought about the last point before i even clicked in. There was no skill or grace in which benders used their elements in korra other than the metal bending dancers
@Lance Nielsen I understand that there's a difference in Zaheer and Aang's flying ability, but that isn't what the narrator claims at 9:26. Aang doesn't need a glider or any form of aid to achieve flight. The avatar state provides self sustaining flight as we witnessed in his final battle with Ozai.
@TuberJustAnotherYT , Aang mastered earth and firebending by the final episodes. Toph told him he still needed some work with his earthbending, but that does not mean Aang hadn't mastered it. They were still preparing him to face Ozai. A big thing we learn in Avatar is how there is always room for improvement(Katara for example learned a whole lot more about waterbending despite becoming a master under Pakku's tutelage). At that point Aang understood the fundamentals behind both earth and firebending. Neutral jing was the primary skill, according to King Bumi, which he showcased in his bout with Ozai. And the Firebending Masters(The Dragons) taught both Zuko and Aang the principles behind firebending. By the finale Aang had acquired skills that not even some grandmaster earth and firebenders could perform, or understood. He wasn't as good as Zuko or Toph, or even Katara in their respective elements(at least not before he fully unlocked his avatar state), but those three are considered the best of their generation... And technically he didn't really need to have mastered them at that point since he mastered his avatar state in the final battle, which basically imparts him with all the skills and knowledge of countless masters anyway. He didn't have full access to this until the final episode.
Lmfo you're so wrong Korra master the elements before age 12 she literally born with 3 TF you talking about her spiritual connection is better than any avatar there has been now the portal is open she have spiritual energy all around her which make her avatar state more OP and yes quick jabs n punching style bending was necessary in Korra it's the future n enemy's are quick n powerful why you want them to be doing special form just to bend??
The fact they call bloodbending energy bending takes away all credibility for this lmao
To be fair, Kora did just come back from crippled from her last fight, had medal in her, and was very rusty and at her weakest point when she finally was able to go back into the avatar state after getting the medal out of herself
That's what i was thinking too
same here
Avatar the last airbender: EXISTS
CBR: I can milk you.
Exactly 😂😂
lol
and brain-dead atla simps are feeding them
@@astronauticalengineer8589 Of course. Atla Simps cant seem to accept a bad part of their precious show
I saw "Better than Last Airbender" in the title and I knew I just had to come here and comment "No!"
TLOK is trash
Fight Scenes in Legend of Korra are kinda better animated and choreographed. ATLA didn't have the intricate camera movement, lighting, usage of color and character movement that LOK had.
@Jmt1000 I get you, but I really don't think the entirety of LOK is worse than The Great Divide.
@Jmt1000 The Great Divide is kind of widely considered as the worst ATLA episode. The fan backlash was so bad the that creators made a joke of dismissing it in Ember Island Players.
With regards to Toph, I really don't see what gave the impression that she would be a great mother. The way she raised her kids kind of makes sense, since she gave her children too much freedom as opposed to how little freedom she received under her parents. And I am kinda surprised that you hated that Grandma Toph acted like an old version of Young Toph, because most people actually liked that and hated that she became a cop. I do agree that the Sokka erasure is kinda horrible though.
@@sirdreiblox2930 The reason why ATLA was great wasn't because of the art but the story. Lok is what happens when you let the character designers do the writing. The characters have cool concepts and designs but don't grow or interact in a way that are believable, meaningful and interesting. Or even cohesive in the case of Korra.
They need a head writer to sow everything together better. This generation is too keen on looks, a movie might have good battle scenes, animation or kick-ass villains, but the story/writting would make it shit
10:10 3 out 4. She didn't learn to Airbend until she was a teenager.
Tloa: uses specific movement and Martial arts for bending specific elements
Tlok: whatever
Show ni Ping-ping TLOA? It’s ATLA
@@acex1212 in europe when it was first shown it was named the legend of aang
That's the point, though. Like everything else in the world of avatar, bending has changed with the times. Instead of being taught exclusively in dojos that adhere to ancient forms and traditions, bending is absorbing influences and adapting to different environments like street fights and sporting events, much like Bruce Lee and MMA fighters have innovated real martial arts.
Bolin even spells this out when Korra uses a "traditional" earth bending style within a pro bending environment, saying that all her extraneous movement leaves her wide open for an attack. Bolin is actually my favorite bender in the show to watch, because they do such a good job of animating his boxing/MMA style of contained, efficient movement; plus, high-level boxing technique doesn't get nearly enough love in movies and TV, despite being every bit as deep and elegant as eastern martial arts.
@@Scorpio3002 That was not the way bending works I think. If you move your body differently, the bending of element will be different too
@@nagmamahalbalagtas if you watch the bending in ATLA closely, you'll notice that the true bending masters like Iroh, Pakku, Bumi and Hama have much more contained, less elaborate movement compared to their less experienced protégés. This might be due in part to their age and lack of agility compared to younger fighters, but the fact that it doesn't seem to slow down their bending strongly implies that there aren't strict rules in how you need to move your muscles in order to bend an element to a desired effect.
There's clearly some flexibility of technique to bending, even between two benders of the same element, and TLOK uses that diversity of style as license to show a more modernized approach to bending to match its modernized world.
Sorry I don’t speak wrong
I know right! There is just so much misinformation in this video!
It feels like somebody's friend described ATLA to them and then that person had to make a video about it barely knowing anything.
To be honest that probably happened.
Korra still had poisoning when she first faced Kuvira
The poison was gone but she still had SEVERE PTSD.
Kyoshi is my favorite Avatar
She’s not mine mine is korra but she’s a close second who knows I might like onther avatar would dya and she might be third

True though. First bolin, mako and azami 😂😂

Pun intended🤣😂
I've watched korra seasons once...and it has never resonated with me to wilfully put it on again. It's a show to watch once and that's it. I can't say how many times of watched ATLA. Sometimes I randomly just put it on and binge watch each seasons. For korra I would look at youtube clips of the little boy because he was adorable and sassy.

@@officialliamg2114 Same. As an aspiring animator, it's really fun to analyse the animation of Legend of Korra.

Alternative Video Title: You’re Wrong
saw the title and was like HELL NO!
I can't decide which one to like more: quidditch or probending
Pro bending is really cool.
Amon ain't a energybender. Only the Avatar can master more than 1 Element, because he/she has Rava. He did it by bloodbending (blocking chakra)
My mind was blown when i saw zahir flying. That was the best villain of the series. So dedicated towards a culture, he discovered things even the avatar never could.
Blood bending is kind of an elite form of water bending so only water benders can use this technique
Not really the avatar can do it aswell
I don’t think bending is better in Korra than TLA. If anything it was just more evolved. But that does not mean it was better. Bending in ATLA seems more original to me. The advancement of technology in Korra kinda made bending less important.
@@SoRa-re1yd nah you’re just a fanboy
@@SoRa-re1yd you got two first names and your last name is “palonson”
@@SoRa-re1yd Korras entire fighting style is better than atla
@@SoRa-re1yd not really. Korra is aggressive and doesn’t hold back in the heat of battle unlike aang. Dude can’t even go into the avatar state willingly.
@@SoRa-re1yd “asspull” you’re just a fanboy. “He had to save katara” isn’t an excuse. One girl isn’t worth the balance of the world. Aang wouldn’t last a second with Zaheer because Zaheer capitalizes on weakness. Like when he forced korra to turn herself over or he would kill all the airbenders. He knew that was her weakness and aang is very VERY gullible. Korra literally learned all the elements before she was older and than proceeded to learn air. Yet you’re downplaying her because you’re fanboying for aang. What a clown
Earth/metal bending is pretty cool. Creating armor and weapons on command is awesome.
The scariest thing is
We never even got to see the Gaang in their prime😰😱
ONE DAY we hope to achieve the level of your channel ''CBR"🙏

Nigga
Oh so a big channel many people watch that spreads false information and doesnt know shit
@@iroh8457 so true
Korra ain’t embody the ocean spirit tho... or a previous avatar like when Roku helped Aang
You miscalculated. Azula's behaviour was a product of Ozai's horrible parenting, and her desire to be the perfect daughter just to please him. That's part of the reason why she has a meltdown after her loss, the other being losing Mai and Ty lee after trying to use fear to control them like her father did to her and Zuko. Saying she was the real monster while Ozai was pretending is completely backwards.
I love your guys videos but sometimes you guys have HUGE inaccuracies and just false information. Amon isn’t an energy bender
I completely disagree with the title. In ATLA bending had unipue fighting styles and looked really awesome. In korra its just faster and lost these fighting styles. There the fights look more to me like an argue from two little kids with some elements included, where the fights in ATLA were based on the elements. I really hate LoK for forcely being different to ATLA in every point, because they ruined pretty much everything with that.
And btw. Amon can't energybend...
LoK is a diferent story, for me is amazing how bending change, culture changed, technology changed so bending is going to change to, people aplying style of other bendings just like Iroh did with Lightining redirection
She only had 3 elements styles down. She didn't air bend once until she met Tenzin.
I bet not even one cartoon can be so awesome as avatar the last airbender and the legend of korra
Aang and company would slap everyone in legend of Korra 😴
I swear!
Amon.
Lol toxic hater.
Death Stroke I want you to go back and rewatch the original series right now 😐
Mike Been Lit he’s pretty much right.
“Why bending is better in Korra than in The Last Airbender”
Me: Sorry, I don’t speak wrong.
Exactly my thought.
He even said Amon could energy bend.
@@azulaeatingmochime2353 On the contrary, when you ATLA and TLOK one after another you'll see they've really dumbed down bending to just punches and kicks in TLOK. In ATLA bending is a discipline and the actions every bender does are inspired by real life martial arts but in TLOK it's just about fighting and punches and kicks.
Aslo in ATLA Zuko , a firebender from birth and the Avatar's firebending teacher couldn't even master lighting bending , but in TLOK every one and their mothers could lightning bend.
So they really made lightning and metal bending really really easy in TLOK.
@@azulaeatingmochime2353 Also, Hi Azula how you've been ?
@@azulaeatingmochime2353 I don't like TLOK and that's "MY OPINION " based on " MY OBSERVATIONS".
I don't hate the show ,i went in with a mind to like the show but i don't like it.
I don't have anything against anyone who likes the show.
Peace ✌️
When Iroah is explaining to Zuko about the four bending I'm sure he said even metal is part of the earth and Toff prove it.
I think that was the Guru in the Air temple
Just so u know, amon didn't use energy bending, amon used blood bending to block the thought Chakra which disables ur bending that's all. Only lion turtles and the avatar can do energy bending
Why is everyone trying to convince us that Korra was better than last Airbender 🤔🤔🤔
It goes to show that they're trying so hard for it to be better but ATLA speaks for itself.
Korra is trash. People gotta stop this and just deal with it
Because some people think it’s better in every way possible
Please don't compare the two shows that's what CBR wants so both sides of the fandom argue so they can get more views
And if someone likes Korra leave them it's their decision
IKR don’t compare them I think we know who wins
It hurts when I see vids like this that are people who research but aren't actually fans. The mention that she was versed in all 4 elements while a child is one of those minor details that let you know this is just people trying to cash in. She had no control over air at all. That was a plot point... or did someone forget? Because that was 2 seasons of plot point
Amon doesn’t uses energy bending he uses blood bending to take bending away
CBR: if you say bloodbending I'm not hanging out with you on the full moon
Me:🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Fact: Aang could fly without a glider like Zahir, but nobody’s talking about that. Examples being: the battle with Ozai. And when he unlocked the avatar state in Ba sing se
He didn't use it the way Zaheer did. He needed AS not the same.
15jewjew I mean your right, but my point is that it’s never even talked about, which I find a bit odd! And it still counts even though he’s using the avatar state.
Zaheer could also be a master at airbending in a couple of days. He didn’t make sense
Well remember you can magically bend 3 out of 4 elements when you're like 3 to 5 years old in korra, so learning a bending style you've never had until you were 40 has to be pretty simple
Avatar The Last Airbender is better than The Legend Of Korra in all ways
💯
I daresay that this could lead into a new age of avatar, not just bending the basic elements, but each of the "subelements," lava, metal, storm, lightning, blood, and so on. An avatar who masters not only the four elements, but each of their sister types of bending could be an extremely powerful demigod.
Well, the inclusion of advanced Blood and Metalbending, as well as the introduction of Lavabending are serious gamechangers. Imagine all of these bending styles existing during the 100 year war. The Fire Nation would get trashed without needing Aang there. Metalbenders would turn their ships and tanks inside out. Bloodbenders would turn their soldiers against each other.
As for Lavabenders, well the Fire Nation capitol sits atop a volcano's caldera. Think Pompeii...
“Why the action scenes in the prequels are better than the originals”
I dont get it
I just Love that CBR don't have a problem saying there are things Korra is better in. ATLA has things that are better than Korra, and vice versa. I love that, CBR NEVER change!
just a reminder that Amon didn't use energy bending, he used bloodbending to take away people's bending
In 1815 the world used sailing ships and black powder muskets little different from over 100 years earlier. 70 years later in 1885 the world was full of trains, steam ships and guns little different than what would be used in both world wars.
Honestly my biggest issue with the Avatar verse is how the Fire nation seemed stuck on reciprocating steam engines for over a century when in our time it was 50 years from the first till the steam turbine replaced them.
LOK bending is more advanced due to the relationship and knowledge past down to all to learn, unlike in ATLAB every bender had to use that style of bending. While ppl like Mako who uses both fire and water style MA, Kya with water and air, and so on. The avatar after Korra world will be even more advanced with new kinds of sub elements which i cannot wait to see (and hope)
P.s the fans of Avatar needs to come together and stop Bickering because the fire and earth nation attack
FUCK NO. They ruined the show by advancing technology so fast. Tbh I guarantee you that the show would be better received if there was another show about a previous avatar before Roku.
@@christopherguerra9537 you mean Kyoshi in which Korra was based off of?
Ampocalypse W tf?? Explain how tf Korra was based off of Kyoshi, and also Kyoshi or any avatar before roku. That’s what I meant. A show of an avatar from before aang’s time that isn’t roku since we already got his life lesson. It would be cool to experience the world of Avatar with all four nations still.
@@christopherguerra9537 the creators stated that Korra was based on Kyoshi, and did wanted to touch on her but settle with making a new avatar. Seeing that Korra and Kyoshi share a lot of things both being bisexual, strong women, and built. See this is the thing that I don't like about fans, yes having a show about Kyoshi (which they already made a book about her you should go check it out) but a lot if the fans would argue they want Aang or Wan. I personally would love either or seeing that I lovr avatar as a whole
LoK sh*ts on the bending lore written by John O'Bryan about learning bending from pre-existing benders (mythical animals and gods) and the timeframe just feels weirdly forced when the tech level shown in Aang's time is nowhere near electricity.
Sorry i dont speak wrong
Amon was not an energy bender. He used bloodbending to disrupt and break a bender’s chakra. If you can temporarily disable a chakra by punching it, it makes sense that you can do more permanent damage to it using more thorough methods.
Amon was not an energybender, he was only a bloodbender. He used BLOODBENDING to block a bender's chi. Only the avatar can energybend.
I thought Amon used Bloodbending to imitate Energybending to block a Bender’s chi and take away their bending.
Rdskinsfan27 exactly that’s what I thought
Saizo that’s what happend, he used bloodbending.
He did they got it wrong
I wouldn't say it was better.
Earthbending: Obviously the metal bending aspect is sick. The Earthbending is more fluid and acrobatic compared to the L.A. It also goes without saying that Lavabending is amazing and one of my favourite sub styles. I've watched the Ghazan lavabending scenes too many times to count..... also when he brought down the inner wall 😶😶😶
Water bending: More advanced moves which is sick.
Air: Seen more due to more benders.
Fire: Seemed weaker .... it's as if flames didn't have the same amount of force or power behind them. The evolution of lightning bending was cool but again seemed to be less powerful. Combustion bending seems to be the same but P'li demonstrated more control than C.M did.
I wouldn't say the bending was "better" it was more evolved but evolution doesn't always equal Improvement.
So once u learn metal bending do u loses earth bending or can u do both
You can do both
Everybody that ever talks about the mechanics of metalbending (Suyin, Hiroshi, Lin, and Toph either implied in the show or more obviously said in the comics) says that they all feel the earthen impurities in the metal, and bend those, which drags the metal around them along. It is why meteorites are so easy to bend, because metallic meteorites are made of really, really poor metal, as well as a few other points that bear this up.
Wait I had a thought if amon can blood bend the chalkras or whatever to stop it from flowing could another blood bender open that chalkras to have it flow again and if so why didn’t he do it to his dad so he could bend again sorry if I’m getting something wrong tho because I haven’t seen lok fully yet only some bits of it and could that be how anng gave her bending back or he just used the same bending he used to take firelord ozi’s bending but he could have done the opposite they may have said something about this but ya sorry also because I can’t spell lol
You might actually be right 😂
Korra expanded the world in such a great and realistic way. A god damn master piece.
_"What makes you so sure your daughter is 'the one'?"_
I had an issue with the way metal bending was portrayed in Korra. Seemed like just another retcon. When Korra got poisoned, it was implied that the Red Lotus had sunk mercury or a similar liquid metal into her skin. That was really gross and rough to watch at first. But the more I thought about it, the more I had to wonder if that works given the rules we understand.
They reinforce the fact that metalbenders aren't actually bending the metal, but the impurities of the metal. Hence why you can't bend platinum, because it's too pure (I guess). But if that's the case, then you shouldn't be able to lift mercury through metal bending, only the impurities within it. So that said, the Red Lotus couldn't have poisoned her in that way, and Toph, awesome as she may be, couldn't have removed it.
"Honestly both of this show is truly wonderful"
No. They removed the spirituality from bending in Korra.
WTF? They did the opposite of that. Korra is way more spiritual. Proof: out of body Korra, origin of the dark avatar and normal avatar, the Korra chapter thats actually called spirit, every spirit in the show, and probably even more stuff like that. I guess you never watched Korra.
@@zombiedemon1762 spiritual as in having a journey of self discovery and introspection. Understanding the deep ties between element, self, and spirit with the ending of self enlightenment.
Getting spirit powers doesn't automatically make you spiritual, Korra being the avatar already gives her access to the spirit realm and ATLA truly did explore the more philosophical aspects of bending. They tried to have Korra go through the same journey Zuko and Aang went through but it was extremely rushed and badly paced throughout the seasons. In just half a season Korra went from being the least spiritual Avatar to having a spirit beam battle. By the end of the series it didn't feel even close to the fulfillment felt when Aang and Zuko finished their journeys.
@Crystallux. Then yes i think your right.
that's kind of the point. I found it interesting how they showed how modern society loses spirituality over time. Like doesn't tenzin literally say probending is a mockery in book 1? Book 2 is literally about how people have turned their back on the spirits and everything it's called storytelling. Things change and not always for the better
@@MCDJEntertainment no, AtLA established understanding the core philosophy of the different bending styles before being able to do them. The societal commentary is irrelevant to the established reality of bending and the connection to spiritual cosmic forces. LoK basically ignored the philosophical underpinning of the original series.
Avatars bending was nice and simple but also action packed and I liked that
Bending got ruined Korra. In ATLA it was a martial art based of real martial ( I sadly forgot what they were based on I will edit that later once I find out agains). The bending “quidditch” in Lok is not like the fighting in ATLA AT ALL!!! In that stupid Sport it was boxing with three elements. It didn’t have the, wow, I should learn how to do that, motivation in ANY of Korras fights. It was like seeing a little kid playing with LEGO. Look bad guy is winning, no but now the good guy is winning, no the bad guy is winning again, good guy wins ! In ATLA it was interesting, mostly balanced. It was like this for me. It took practice to learn that, mabey I should learn something from there, wow that guy just got rekt, wow that was close, thank goodness, hope isn’t lost after all.
I mostly saw how they learned their tricks. I’m going to start with Toph. She was an earth bending beast. She learned in the fighting arena and was the all time champion until Aang “cheated” her defeat. We then see how she is training Aang once she joins the gang. She gets captured by the people sent out to get her by her father. She learns Metalbending from just adjusting to her surroundings and then try’s to bend it and it is successful. After that there was one thing that happened that confused me, and that was her sandbending, it seemed like she learned it out of now where, but then I remembered that she did kind of start Her training in “the library” episode. But the thing is, even if it did somewhat come out of nowhere, she never really used it meaning the writers knew that wasn’t logical and that she hadn’t mastered it. We also learned that she learned earth bending from the ORIGINAL earth benders, the badger als that we met in “cave of two lovers”.
Korra on the other hand, could bend 3 out of the 4 elements from a young age on. That’s like if I could do 5th grade math, play the piano and mastered Karrete before starting 2nd Grade.
Sahir, or how ever you spell it, also was an airbending master in one day, despite being a non bender his whole life before that.
There was no proper learning, there was no martialart, there was no scar on the world after a 100 year long war. Na Korra gets a 2/10 from me. It did have some cool moments but na just na. Korra is a different character then Aang and I never expected them to be similar or same. They do have different struggles etc. it wasn’t the characters that annoyed me the most, it how they ruined bending and their different worldly atmosphere. On Korra it was to much like real city’s and I hated that. I loved the mountains and the cool villages and what not. I loved ATLA for a lot of reasons and I disliked Lok for a lot of reasons,
Edit: the promised martial arts the bending was based on.
Water is tai chi chuan,
Earth is Hung Ga kung fu, for the most part,
Fire is Northern Shaolin kung fu
Air is baguazhang
( yes I googled it)
Can you please proofread before you comment? Thanks.
will do, sorry about that. might do that to that comment aswell, but not now because I am tired.
This is awesome
Don't sleep on Meelos fart bending
Amon wasn’t an energy bender. He incorporated what Aang did and mastered how to block someone’s bending using their blood. Energy bending was only granted by the lion turtles
8:19 you gotta understand that Korra was still rusty at that time
This is how many like avatar the last airbender than legend of korra

The creators definitely needed to improve and level up the bending in LoK. Fans already saw much from ATLA air, earth, water, and fire bending but not much of ice and metal bending which they explored in LoK and introducing lavabending.
My house: *starts moving*
me : *looks outside and sees king bumi scaring of fire nation*
also me : wait if my house is flying am i gonna die
Finally
Someone speaks the truth
Can you do a video about how Adamantium could be introduced into the MCU?
Also Amon used blood bending to take away people's bending and also Aang used energy bending. Two different concepts entirely
Republic city is cool but i really like the temples and tribes it just looks so cool
For me it is energy bending because it is so rare and cool you can do so much with it and don’t even get me started with energy bending in the spirit world
Imagine sparky sparky boom boom man during sozen’s comet
