Aang died at (biological) age 66, he was two year younger than Katara, so Katara was 68 when he died, Korra is 16 years old, so adding that, Katara is 84 years old in this show
Little Korra, when she bursts out as a troublesome toddler unleashing her bending, always makes me chuckle. She showed that she would be feisty right away. 😁
"deal with it!" 😆
@@bunnytailsREACTSalso naga is a polar bear dog korra had her when she was a little girl there is a comic of it
The Fortuneteller Episode in ATLA explains the family dynamic of the bending getting passed down. “Im an Earthbender! IM NOT!” The two twins didn’t even both get bending!
The legend of korra is a good show that gets really great in seasons 3 and 4 so keep watching.
Of course I will keep watching. :)
And while not the best don't knock season 2 completely. It has wan of the best stories in the whole of avatar.
Season 1 is also very good
I adore season 1
season is still good
Seeing Katara so old that she's become a grandma is so wholesome, it makes it feel like she's had a full life. Aang had to go for Kara to happen, bittersweet but no way around it. Sokka not being there does suck, but i have no doubt that he lead a life full of fun and adventure.
The timejump does make intresting changes in the world, especially technology wise.
Super excited to revisit legend of Kora with you!
To be clear: two benders of different elements can have children that are benders of either element or a non bender.
For example, an Air Bender and a Water bender can have children that are Air Benders, Water Benders or non benders. None of them can bend both air and water together.
It's always so hard to hear that Sokka is dead. No matter how many times I watch it, I still get tears in my eyes when I hear that.
Poor Katara... She seems to be the only one left :(
@bunnytailsREACTS She did say "many" of her friends, so that is definitely concerning. I've never read the comics, so I don't know if she made a lot of other friends later in life. I should get on that honestly, I love this world and want to know everything about the lore.
Pakku, Bumi, gran-gran, Jeong Jeong, Iroh, I can't imagine that their old boney butts are still around. But Sokka being gone, oooof. We better get Suki or Toph or something, man, or I'm gonna flip!
@ShizuruNakatsu yeah and she also said "gone" not "dead" so that can be interpreted how the viewer wants.
@@bunnytailsREACTSI don't think there is any comic of there adult life just as kids
"My father, Avatar Aang," omgg
Tenzin's other sibling was called Kya, named after Katara's mom.
And bumi
@@redfieldwong717 yeah, but she already noticed the Bumi connection. That's why I said Tenzin's _other_ sibling lol
yeah, for some reason reactors never pick up on Kya being called after Katara's mom, but I guess her name was never as present in the original series as Bumi's was.
@@whatthehellisthisnameI think they only said it once in ATLA, when Hakoda was running back to their house in the flashback.
9:29 The music at this part reminds me of one of the songs from 'The Headband' (Avatar Footloose) when Aang threw that dance party in the Fire Nation.
The Legend of Korra OST, by The Flameos.
The technological advancements are jarring at first, but if you stop to think about it they actually make sense. A lot of the technology in ATLA matches around the 1850’s in our world, and LOK is pretty clearly 1920’s coded. 70 years is about how much time has passed between the two shows.
How nice that you started with Korra. It's a different series, more adult, with characters perhaps not as charismatic as those in ATLA, but certainly very interesting.
Regarding the emotional beats, yes, this series handles them with great mastery for the ATLA fan. But you will enjoy all the references to the first series.
And, to give you an idea, Korra is the complete opposite of Aang as far as being an Avatar is concerned so, while the comparison is inevitable, don't read too much into it either. (Besides, Korra is a TEENAGER. With all that implies 🤣).
I’m so glad to see u start legend of korra so be ready for joy and saddens cause it’s so freaking good 😁😁😁
Korra is an AMAZING show. But one thing that you have to understand is that is is VERY different than ATLA. It's its own unique thing. It is far in the future. If you treat it like its own thing and not something like ATLA then you will love it and have a great appreciation for it. It has truly an amazing soundtrack and is very special. Please watch all of it and you'll love it I know. I'll be there for the journey as well!
it is ok, you did not read the search, it does not get spoiled here 3:10
I did finish reading it the other day, though! It was pretty touching :)
😥Nobody ever recognizes that Tenzin's other sibling, Kya, was named after Katara's mother. #JusticeForKya
Katara's mother, who had Katara's name from the unaired pilot.
in atla they had multiple types of tanks, mulitple types of flying machines including massive air balloon ships, absolutely massive drill machines, huge motorized metal ships and a bunch of other more advanced technology. its really not that big of an advancement.
It is a very different type of advancement though, which is more what I was thinking I suppose. Back then it was only to further the war. Now they can concentrate their efforts on other things.
ATLA was on the cusp of the Industrial Revolution. Fire Nation was using coal power. After the war, obviously the new Fire Lord was willing to help and cooperate with the world rather than subjugate it. Add in that ability with the discovery of metalbending and the ability of earthbenders to mine with ease and you get a super Industrial Revolution.
For a lot of their tech, particularly in the field of communication, they’re in the 1920s. You see radios, old fashioned cameras, and older looking vehicles (satomobiles) but no television yet.
@@PelafinaLievre war is a powerful technology motivator. it doesnt stop during war time. it increases.
@@willwilliamson9580 But during the war, everyone was isolated. Collaboration breeds innovation.
@@PelafinaLievre but necessity is the mother of invention.
The thing on parents and the genetics of bending i think as long as your lineage comes from a specific nation there's always a chance to be that type of bender. Heck if I'm not mistaken I think both of Toph's parents are non-benders
Spoiler alert but good news so felt it needs to be shared, but the third season will expand that dynamic in unexpected but pleasing ways.
Don’t worry we are getting an animated movie of the original characters in their early 20’s in 2025 from the original creators so enjoy Korra for what it is, new characters this is a new and different show you have to be open minded and you will grow to love these new characters because the legend of Korra is an amazing show in its own right.
The main readon why people hate lok is because they want it to have the same plot same characters as atla
I wish I liked the Korra gang but I never resonated with Mako or Bolin in fact I find them annoying. Characters like Tenzin and Lin were written with much more care I noticed and I liked their arcs.
@@Aducky9291 exactly😭 like wtf do they expect🤷♂️
@@halo3iskewlyay Annoying😂 ok
@@halo3iskewlyayThat's cause you still want to link everything to ATLA. Tenzin and Lin are direct descendant of the previous show so you feel like you have connection with them.
You guys don't want new avatar , you don't want new characters 😂 you want the same characters from ATLA & their kid's kid's kid to continue the journey. One of the reactors on CZcams before watching the show was like "will Korra be aang's daughter? 😧"
"Are Mako and Bolin Zuko & Toph's sons??"
Will Tenzin name their new baby "Aang" ??
When Tenzin didn't name his son "aang" one of the reactor was like "No respect for dad I guess".
Why on earth would you name your kid after your dad. It just doesn't make any sense.
And when they revealed Mako and Bolin are "original characters" not related to anyone from the previous show, another reactor was like " So they're just nobody ? They could have made them his sons, I'm so disappointed"..
I'm just like are you kidding me? Like give it a rest already, not everything has to connect to ATLA. I'm so tired of these people.
You guys don't want new Avatar shows. You only want Aang and his adventures for another 100 years.
The music during the police chase scene incorporates elements of the song the Fire Nation students are playing in AtlA Season 3 "The Headband"
4:23-4:57 The way it works is this: bending is USUALLY passed from parent to child but there's no guarantee. Likewise two non-benders can have a bender child (Katara for example, neither of her parents could bend). It's a bit like how Force-sensitivity works in Star Wars.
If two benders of different elements have children (like Aang and Katara) then said children will either be non-benders or they'll inherit the bending of ONE of their parents. In this case Tenzin took after his father and inherited Air-bending (I won't spoil what Kya and Bumi are).
5:05-5:18 No spoilers, but remember Katara said "many of my friends are gone." Not ALL of them.
TIME TO FEAST, KORRA GANG 🙌🔥🍻 sorry, Aang babies 😜
Just found your channel. Finished Binge your ATLA, still watching your Star Trek reactions as I'm watching it for first time myself 😅
I liked the 1920’s jazz/big band music it fits the time period well
Well crap another youtuber is reacting to LOK now i gotta subscribe
While some people didn't like the technological advancement 70 years into the future, I feel like it makes a lot of sense. They have an era of peace, so people spend a lot more time working together instead of against one another with the technological progress they've already had (as seen in ATLA, people did already have machines and air ships), but also if we look at our own human history, we haven't even had cars until the late 19th century and look at where we are now little over 100 years later, the technological advancement rapidly increased within a short amount of time and stagnated greatly during the world wars.
4:23 When 2 benders of different elements have kids, there's a chance they'll be able to bend one element or the other, or no element at all. For example! with Aang and Katara's kids, Tenzin is an air bender, Kya is a water bender, and Bumi is a non-bender.
I'm not sure if you were suggesting the possibility of someone being able to bend both of their parents elements, but no, that is indeed not possible. The Avatar remains the only person with the ability to bend more than one element.
I'm sure you've seen episode 2 by now. It's the same deal with Mako and Bolin. Earth bending father, fire bending mother. Mako got fire, Bolin got earth.
isn’t this spoilers?😂
YESS!! I'm so excited to go on this journey with you bunny!
Kya or Kia I can't remember the spelling, is their daughter, named after Sokka and Katara's mother, a very small detail because her name is only mentioned once originally, but still very sweet.
If you already read the Comic, Republic City was the Cranefish Town, the police was local guards trained by Kyoshi Warriors and Ty Lee with aid from beifong's family
You're right, it hurts.
Really though, the advancement in the tech is on-par if not lagging behind our own world. In ATLA they already had tanks, blimps, etc. The Fire Nation was very late 1800s US/Britain. While in the span of 70 years, they only have entered the equivalent of our 1910s-20s.
We all notice that they named one of their kids Bumi of course, but their daughter Kya is named after Katara and Sokka's mother. Easy to miss, since they only said her name once in the first series!
We are watching Avatar again, woohoo :) Re the large leap in progress, assuming Aang gets to live another 80-90 years after we last see him and the gang, that is about the right time for an industrial revolution, as seen live on Earth. It's maybe a bit accelerated, because the tech level seems a bit more dieselpunk than steampunk.
Ah, finally began Korra, I see! 😊 I know it's easy to instantly compare it to ATLA on the first watch, but IMO, this is a series best approached with an open mind. Sure, we all loved Aang and co.'s adventures, but this is about a whole new generation now. As long as you keep that in mind, I think you'll appreciate the show much more. 😉
BTW, you bringing up the term "symbol of peace" reminds me.... are you familiar with the anime My Hero Academia? If not, I very much recommend it! You may even find it shares some similarities to Avatar here and there.....
They challenge themselves to add more details to the characters in this show and then those extra details turned into the animation being way more difficult and expensive. Almost getting the show canceled twice. And in the last season the studio made them decide between firing a bunch of people or cutting the budget for one of the episodes. They decided to cut the budget cuz they cared about their team. But that one episode is ridiculed for being lower quality, which isn't fair.
There's a lot of opinions and feelings when it comes to Korra. And honestly, how couldn't there be. It's biggest crime is coming after Aang. I feel you're coming at this in a good place. There will be highs and lows and i feel you're going to enjoy all of it.
Are you planning on watching the live action series?
I am sure am!
If you compare the technological advancement in the show to the real world history, the show is actually slower than real life.
Enjoy this series, it is a really good charachter driven show. Since you read The Promise you know where Republic City came from.
This show is 70 years after Aang's era
In regards to the "sudden" industrialization of the world of "Avatar: The Last Airbender," it's not really THAT farfetched if you look into some of the industrial elements seen in the original show. Industrialized technology did exist. It was mainly in the weaponry that was utilized by the Fire Nation (cable cars, factories, hot-air balloons, steam-powered warships, etc).
This series is exploring an interesting real-world parallel in how military technology can often be repurposed for commercial value to the civilian populace. Take the internet as an example. It was invented in 1983, likely to be used as a tool against communism. Once the Cold War started to die down, its creators felt that it could serve a practical purpose in a civilian capacity (and a profitable purpose for them).
The huge advancement in technology was the most jarring aspect of this show. This show is set only about 60-70 years after the end of ATLA. In ATLA only the Fire Nation had any level of modern-ish industrialization with sophisticated metallurgy and the steam engine. The other three nations were far behind technology-wise, living what looks like about 17th century lifestyles. In a short 60-70 years they have gas power internal combustion cars, airplanes, cameras, microphones, skyscrapers, trains, huge subway systems, movies, etc. It looks like Republic City is about 1920's level technology.
Well it makes sense that after the war, knowledge about this technology spread and with people like the mechanist, Sokka and the fire nation engineers who were already working in avatar, it’s no surprise how far they came.
The time frame is very similar to our own Industrial Revolution actually.
@@Gamelover254 It's just not knowledge that matters, though but also economics and education. You need some sort of modern economic system with developed financial institutions (banking, monetary policy, etc) along with a well established STEM educational system to education and train generations of scientists, engineers, tradesmen, etc. You also need a large middle class with the disposable income to create demand for all sorts on modern technology.
The Fire Nation said they wanted to share their culture. Prince Zuko and Aang apparently that a vital part of doing that was to share the technology that helped make them so powerful so that no one would needlessly fear the Fire nation ever again.
Awesome reaction of my favorite episode of The Legend Of Korra!!!!😊😊😊😊
Thanks!
Let’s go
omg yass korra
Love you Bunny
Okay, so bending isn't genetic. Basically, the percentage of born benders has less to do with genes and more to do with the overall spirituality of a nation. For instance, the nation connected most deeply to the spirits are the air nomads. Therefore, every air nomad child born is an airbender. On the opposite end of the spectrum, you've got the LEAST spiritual nation, the earth kingdom. A very small percentage of earth kingdom citizens born are benders.
So it technically is Genetic, just not the way one would assume. If an Airbender had. A kid with an earth bender and the kids had either no bending or earth bending, that would check put. Say those kids have kids and none of those kids are benders. And Then THOSE kids have kids and one of them gets air bending. That would be how it works considering they have the spititual blood of the air nomads within.
Now it's important to note that all air nomads were air benders, and air acolytes were those who were either non-benders or bended a different element, but wanted to live the air nomad way.
Yay! I've been waiting for this x3
This looks good. Can I also suggest "The Legend of Vox Machina"? There's been 2 seasons so far. VERY good, definitely worth a watch.
It's a very different story than the original series. Probably better to go in not expecting the same kind of epic storytelling. It's already telling that Korra never really questions the status quo that makes her the supreme authority in the world or believes that non-benders get oppressed even when there's plenty of evidence that this is the case.
I will always stick up for Korra the show. It was inconsistent and less focused than ATLA, yes, but I still found it above average compelling and instantly connected to the characters. I also think this is a strong first episode. Love the intro to Tenzin and family along with Lin, our setting and how the world has changed.
Legend of Korra was definitely a rough adjustment for me especially cause of my attachment to the og cast. The show had to much of a new feel and it took some time for the new cast to grow on me.
Can we just give it up to how ripped they drew Korra haha
This series takes place ~70 years after ATLA, so Katara would be about 85. Korra is 17 for the first season.
Strength over spirit all day. Korra is my favorite.
You'll get a lot of misinformation getting into this show, so here's a quick easy run down to make things clear:
- Korra got approved for a mini series (book 1)
- They showed a panel, it did well, they got approved for book 2 before anything even being aired. (to make it enough episodes for a syndicated season, meaning book 1 and 2 is technically 1 season, and book 3 and 4 are another season).
- Book 1 Airs. They get approved for book 3 and 4.
- Book 3 airs, but because season book 2 had less viewers, they moved the time slot a lot, eventually even airing it online only.
The issue Korra show may have had or not, is never because they thought each season might be a last one or not, it's that they wanted an increasingly deeper and more mature show and Nickelodeon kept asking for edits and changes nonstop, which backed up a lot of the process. With that said just like in any fandom you'll find people that love it, or hate it, but usually the more you can appreciate it for what it is, instead of comparing them, the more fun you'll have.
Season 3 is considered a masterpiece to most fans of either series. Season 2 is crucial to worldbuilding and avatar lore. Season 4 is a great conclusion to the 3 earlier books. Each season has it's amazingness and I hope you enjoy them as much as we did! The only non-spoiler advice I can give you, is unless you're watching it on Netflix, subtitles off for season 4. Can't say anything else and no one else should elaborate.
Should subtitles also be off for season 2? I forget whether they spoiled.
@@PelafinaLievre Just season 4 for some annoying reason. But it's been fixed in netflix supposedly.
@@Saphthings It has. I watched it recently
well said
Don't worry so much about the comics. Although they take place between Last Airbender and Korra, they weren't published till after Korra was over, and they reflect some of the subtle changes to the setting that are introduced in the latter. Also, it's been 70 years since the end of AtLA. They purposely sidelined the original Gaang to keep the focus on the new avatar and her story.
First you play my favorite game? And now you’re watching one of my favorite shows?!? Oh bunny is EATING
Korra is amazing!!! I hope you enjoy.
Grazie Gorgeous Bunny, I hope to see another live broadcast soon . Ciao Ciao
it is 70 years after Avatar. Only the Avatar can have more than one element - but if your parents are both different types of benders, then you could be either type or not a bender at all.
There is so much I want to tell you - but I know that would be taking the joy of the first watch from you so my lips are sealed.
Actually RIP Sokka the GOAT
the producers gravely erred on making katara that old looking.
as a master waterbender, katara should be looking like she's in her mid 20s to early 30s.
notice why king bumi, of the earthbenders, had a body of 30yr old, even though he was over a 110yrs old.
master benders ages are greatly slowed.
Avatar Yeng Chen lived over a 1000 years old but they changed the story for the cartoon.
it's a terrible american philosophy, regarding age & not having a elder parents look young.
5:57 Well if anything they are a little slow.
Its been 70 years since Ang's Adventures 1954 our world's time. Think about what it was like in 1954 and what i's like now. 😉
don't worry there's a movie coming out with the adults version of the Aang gang
Isn't that next year the cartoon version that's what your talking about right I heard about it
@@joelramnarine don’t know if it’s next year but yes it’s animated
@@JamailvanWestering it is actually October 10th 2025
"Are they all dead!? This show sucks..." The drive by information that Sokka is dead hurts so much. WHY, just why? He was the man don't hurt my like this I can't take it.
He was the best ❤️

Avatar Studio did announce we are getting movies. One of them brings the Gaang back that take place when they are around their 20s. There will be a Korra movie and a Kyoshi movie. Im excited for all of this. Ive been meaning to read the kyoshi books and i do think the movie will be an adaption of the first book. Korra im also excited for what comes after season 4 of Korra. Her journey ended in a way that i really wanted to see what that Korra does.
This is bullshit
