Can we just appreciate how Jinora was younger than Aang, mastered her spirituality, risked her life for Korra and gut stuck in the spirit world, is the most mature child of Tenzin, and when her head gets shaved she looks like Aang. She is one of the best characters in Korra. She's so strong and intelligent and easily one of my favorite characters and reminds me soooo much of Aang .
When Korra sees her cosmic self and walks down the path of light like Aang did, even after losing her connection to her past lives, it never fails to bring tears to my eyes.
sephiroth21 people born in 2010 were too young to really understand the show or probably even watch it, not to mention the whole ATLA series before LOK. Kids born below 2006 have more of a connection to the shows because of the love for the original and the the love for the sequel
I know it's ridiculous but this song always gets to me. Can you just imagine how small you would feel standing next to a giant representation of all the potential within you? Here you are, struggling and burdened, and yet this is here to remind you of what you're capable of becoming, but also how far you'll have to go to get there. I just love how solemn the avatar state/space scenes are.
Definitely not ridiculous man, re watching this show on Netflix makes me feel so many emotions, but this song in particular brings me to tears every time
This song is both sad and hopeful, as it plays when Raava dies, but also plays when Korra finally connects with her own spirit. It's also just an amazing score, my god!
I imagine that the music is of great change. It represents sadness and loss of faith and hope when terrible change comes, while also being the hope and wonderment of better change.
The music is amazing indeed. I think people expected another powerful character like aang. I feel like korra shows a mentally weaker avatar. I feel like LOK was abit realistic where things didn't end up how they should've been.
@@rationxl2922 I agree! I feel like Korra gets a lot of unnecessary hate. Her story is not as lovable as Aang's and she's definitely a mentally weaker avatar, but people forget that she's NOT Aang! I think if you stop expecting LOK to be ATLA and take the story as it is you can enjoy it. LOK had some really out-there ideas and really cool villains. There were some sucky parts of the story, but some really awesome parts as well-- and of course the music!
WHY DO I GET DO EMOTIONAL LISTENING TO THIS? ??? I MISS AANG. I MISS KORRA NOW! !! STILL MISS AANG THE MOST BUT OMG THE FEELS ARE SO STRONNG.ATLEAST I KNOW I'M HUMAN
"Even in the material world, you will find that if you look for the light, you can often find it, but if you look for the dark, that is all you will ever see." "Many things that seem threatening in the dark become welcoming when we shine a light on them." - Uncle Iroh
Sure!!! May I ask, are you from some Asian country? Cause I'm Asian too. I think, the whole series was based on some Hindu religious culture. Like Lord Vishnu's Avatars. Appeared to bring back balance to the world. 10 Avatar's. As much as I know.
Anybody else notice that the beginning of this song is a variation from the music used in zuko and azula's agni kai? No wonder this sounded so familiar. :)
People complain and don"t understand the whole Jinora coming in, but I thought it was great. She shed light in the dark that exposed Raava (Uncle Iroh explained it to Korra), she guided Korra to the spirit world and to the light spirit, and she saved her spirit from being engulfed in darkness much like Korra saved her from the same fate. All woven in a very subtle way. Edit: Wow I wrote this so long ago and my opinions have definitely changed since then. I re-watched the entire series and enjoyed things from it but have seen many flaws that I missed from my last viewing (especially from this book). I've heard many You-tubers re-imagine this book and I enjoyed it more than what we've got, but that's just me, many people still like this season and I'm glad that they did. People change and opinions change. I still like this song.
pigglypoof To me that's just not a credible answer. Book 3 didn't develop this at all. The only thing it developed was more questions and a middle finger to the answers we deserve. I can understand her going into the spirit world, but for her to feel Korra's defeat approaching and project her spirit and produce a light that brought the rebirth of Raava with no prior training was just poor development in ability. Book 3 said this was a spiritual technique and I quote "with some airbending stuff"
I remember watching this part as a kid and being fascinated when Korra sees her cosmic self and walks down the path just like Aang. Now seeing it as an adult, I am legitimately crying because of nostalgia.
Zuckreman definitely knows the true meaning of music. He puts his heart and soul into these magnificent songs and it is quiet obvious... I get goosebumps everytime I hear a few certain songs!!!

I seriously don't get the book 2 haters. I personally loved the spirits theme and I thought it told a lot about the world of Avatar. Book 2 showed us the other side of the world, the spirit world, in depth. Unlike ATLA, which only seemed to poke certain aspects of the spirit world. I think book 2 also answered a lot of big fan questions. Who was the first Avatar? What exactly is the Avatar? Stuff like that was answered in book 2. That's one of the reasons why I can appreciate book 2 and actually like it more than book 1. It's not far behind book 3 either. Before book 2, I was very interested in the spirit world. It's just such a magical place. After I had watched book 2, my interest in the spirit world had doubled.
I think many were disappointed by episodes 1-6. Those episodes regressed Korra's character development and retconned her energybending from existence. Korra was so unbearable during those episodes, they made me want to quit too, until Beginnings came along and redeemed the whole season. After that episodes 9-14 were great since they focused on the Spirit World.
***** I didn't at first too, but then I started to think "is that the animation that I thought was the best I ever seen? Looked a litte better in my head..." Seriously, just Google "Pierrot vs. Mir" and check the comparisons. Faces at a certain distance look terrible. By the way, Pierrot is the studio that animates Naruto, Mir is the official studio (they did all the other episodes + the entire book 4)
I absolutely loved Book 2!!!! I felt like I had finally learned who the avatar truly was and what their purpose was. While ATLA showed me what the avatar was capable of, I feel like LOK has shown me who the avatar is behind all their power. I at first thought that a season about spirits would be absolutely lame and a waste, and I was dead wrong! While the villain definitely took a backseat throughout most of the season, I enjoyed not having everything centered around him. This season answered so many questions and it truly was phenomenal. And come on, there can't be a hater that can complain about us getting Varrick and Zhu Li!
I agree. It wasn't perfect, but you know what? Weather people want to or not, neither was season 1 of Korra or Avatar were either. But of course the flaws are vastly outmatched by all the wonderful characters and episodes. We gained so much more than we've lost. I still really like Unalaq even if I can't ever say it without attempted crucifiction by fans. Season 2 wasn't quite the best for Korra, the best was yet to come, but it marked the point for me where it found it's own voice with darker storytelling and being unafraid to expand upon Avatar's legacy. It stopped feeling like an Avatar spinoff, and as a worthy sequel in it's own right that chose to take things in a different direction, and not be Aang2.0.
"While ATLA showed me what the avatar was capable of, I feel like LOK has shown me who the avatar is behind all their power." One of my favorite explanations of the Airbender and Korra series' is that Aang was a human that had to learn to be the Avatar; Korra was an avatar that needed to learn to be a human. You stated this idea in a different way and I like it. "Why did you never tell us you were the Avatar?" "Because... I never wanted to be." -Aang "I Needed To Understand What Real Suffering Was, So I Could Become More Compassionate To Others." -Korra
No one gonna talk about how jinora found korra, saved korra, saved the world and got trapped in the spirit world listen up Disney, this is how you make a strong female
To be honest I think season two was the best. The villains, the music, the characters and most of all, the battles. The way korra fought unavattu after she lost her connection to her past lives AND connects to her cosmic energy and BEATS THE HECC OUT OF UNALAK makes me respect korra a lot.
It was the middle of the night when I watched this scene My Mom was loosing her hair because of quimio and I had decided to go bald with her But my hair had always been kind of a protection to me so I was really insecure about that decision When I saw Jinora bald with a pure smile on her face it helped me have the strength to cut my hair that night That I was a big step to me
I like LOK but this soundtrack was too incredible for this show. And as much as i love ATLA (masterpiece), LOK 's soundtrack is on a whole nother level.
I feel like LOK wasn't bad, i think because people were already in love with ATLA that they expected LOK to be similar. But, we got something totally different. I still think this show could've done somethings a bit better, but this show was just as good as ATLA, and in my opinion even better (At some things.)
***** You do have a point, I'm pretty sure quite a lot of fans prefered Korra empathizing with Kuvira over Korra defeating Vaatu, and felt it was much more emotional and enjoyable.
Every season of Korra has been unique and fresh. Book 1 was a crazy new world with a very convincing villain. Book 2 the growth of the characters continued, (Tenzin, Korra, and Jinora had many character building moments). The villain was more or less the background of the story until the end and it was more focused on the characters evolving and revealing the lore of the world. The ending of Book 2 established a new era of possibilities for the final two books along with Korra having less guidance available for the final books. From what I've experienced in Book 3 so far, the show has developed it's characters and villains incredibly this book and I cannot wait to see what happens this Friday in the Finale!
I loved book 2, i think the characters in book 2 have learnt their lessons about they won't repeat it again such as keeping secrets, love triangle bullshit, etc. it was awesome to learn about how the first avatar cycle began and we had the opportunity to know more about spirits. Book 2 may have been weird somehow but I enjoyed it. 👍
Ikr, those people thankfully seem to be less frequent than they once were. Probably the most annoying group of crybabies I've ever had the misfortune of encountering
Maybe it's not as good as The last airbender series. But this doesn't mean The legend of Korra is a bad series, I don't understand the hate it receives, sometimes I wonder if they ever watched a single episode For me both series are masterpieces
Book 2 of Korra had a lot of problems, no doubt, but the final was one of the greatest in TV history. Korra's spiritual and personal growth is amazing.
LoK had a lot of problems in and of itself. Yes, let's let the eternal spirit of darkness be the season 2 enemy and have the final season's enemy be a random metal bender and falsely make the final battle epic where she controls a big metal robot engineered by a guy whom Varrick didn't even take that seriously until that point, cause you know, plot.
Meidoification I fail to see whats wrong with either of those plots. Each have their background with really good writing. The first one was just as unbelievable what kind of country would want to find a war for 100 years constantly? The U.S couldn't even make it 10 years with the whole country backing it up. The fire nation plot was just as good as any LOK plot.
a woolf what he/she meant was that it seemed rather unfit the final villain being a random metal bender whos finale is a giant robot while the halfway villain was the embodiment of darkness, and the finale was the possibility of leaving the world in darkness for 10,000 years.
a woolf book 3.... dont get me started.... IT WAS PERFECT. the plot was insane. korra finds the new air benders due to the harmonic convergance and the main enemy can FLY! FUCKING FLY! THAT IS THE SICKEST SHIT EVER totally unexpected. this show has some unexpected turns to it thats the reason people love it more than the avatar!
Meidoification the themes strike much deeper than that. Just because Unalaq /physically/ became an embodiment of darkness and Kuvira wasn't /physically/ anything of that sort, doesn't mean she wasn't thematically a better series-end villain. There were themes of how she reflected Korra, and the final season was more about Korra's arc than anything. (As well as themes of Balance.) As it should be.
I had nonstop chills and goosebumps when I saw Korra letting go all of her earthly attachments and connecting to the cosmic energies. Such a great soundtrack!
When I was younger i watched parts of Legend of Korra and for some reason stopped watching it and didn't finish. Years later after watching all the seasons of Legend of Korra again as an adult just starting out her life it just hits different. The way u see the animation as a child and see certain lessons differntly but pick up and understand some of the lessons that this animation talks about as u get older is just astonishing. Just thinking about it for some reason makes me emotional nd idk why tho😭😭 but this is one of my most favorite songs along with the episode with harmonic convergence "Light in the Dark" something about it just hits deep in the feels🤷🤷💙
Just finished rewatching Korra through season 3, and Jinora's theme plays again in the Service and Sacrifice piece. This really is her motif. Love it and I love her arc in the series.
People keep saying that Aang was better, but Korra felt her emotions so much more deeply and she was so much more relatable. Aang mightve been the better the better Avatar, but Korra dealt with politics and relationships and LOSING her bending, which she overcame. Aang could fight yes, but Korra could take more than one hit, mentally and physically.
That is absolutely correct. Thank you for actually acknowledging Korra. So few people actually give her the credit she deserves. Aang was awesome too, don't get me wrong, but Korra was older and dealt with a lot of shit, like PTSD.
i feel like korra was more emotional because of her brash behaviour, its like a ying and yang thing, aang, when in the avatar state, was fersome and scary however he was a peace loving human, while korra is brash and all out for a fight, she had the emotional side where her consequences had actual effect and she would always learn that the hard way, she was put through so much more because she had originally lived a life of easy training but when she trully became the avatar, she learnt, mentally, that she is just one person who had to bear the burden of everyones suffering, including herself. aang had it easy, learn the elements, defeat one guy, he even had the chance of love, sure you could say that around the end, aang faced his fear and got over the traumatising experience of burning his friend but he didnt suffer anything mental besides ansomnia
In terms of story, this book was by far the best in the entire franchise. The hate towards it mostly comes from a lack of understanding of the show. - People apparently complain about Jinora's abilities, but it was never stated that only the Avatar could have spiritual powers. On the contrary, this book shows that anyone can get in and out of the spiritual world (Hiro even literally lives in the Spirit world), and many people interact with spirits all the time. It's also not specific to the Legend of Korra, since the Last Airbender has several episodes dedicated to spirits. So I don't see why Jinora couldn't have spiritual powers. - Jinora's power doesn't come out of nowhere, she develops it through this entire season. There's no need to explain _why_ she has those powers, just like there is no need to explain why Korra (and Aang before her) was the chosen one instead of other characters. She uses her astral projection to find someone multiple times in this season, so it makes sense that she'd be the one to find Raava in the end. Her whole character is "the one who finds others". Jinora is also a much more optimistic character than Korra, so again, it makes sense that she'd be the one to find the Light and not Korra. - Unalak was brillantly written, only a couple of lines are ridiculous ("I am the Malefic avataaaar!" and "Let the Darkness expand" ; basically the stereotypical villain lines). Ignoring the few dialogues where he's portrayed as the cliché evil guy, that character makes a relevant and deep point : Society gets more and more superficial, to the point that it ignores the important matters that could bring chaos and disorder. In the case of this season, it's the anger of the Spirits, which the Water Tribes _must_ appease but the South Tribe gave up on this job. It also ties to the superficial life in the Republic City. If Bolin becomes an actor in this season, it's because Hollywood is renowned for being superficial, so the authors used it as a basis for a plot point. Basically, Unalak had a point. And that's why Korra decides to literally do what he wanted to do (let the spirits invade the human world). - The Last Airbender showed that the Avatar had to calm the wars between different "magical nations". Book 1 of Korra shows that the Avatar must also appease the tensions between "Mages" and "non-mages". Book 2 expands the role of the Avatar even further, showing that it has to be the bridge between spirits and humans (something that _was_ explained in the original series, but was never truly important to the plot). - There's freaking VARIK! That character is the best in this entire world, lol. Seriously, that guy is the perfect definition of opportunist, and I love how he's always in control, even when he's thrown in prison. All in all, this book is the one that has the most lore of all seasons (across _both_ series). It also has some of the best scenes, and some of the best characters.
Can we just appreciate how Jinora was younger than Aang, mastered her spirituality, risked her life for Korra and gut stuck in the spirit world, is the most mature child of Tenzin, and when her head gets shaved she looks like Aang. She is one of the best characters in Korra. She's so strong and intelligent and easily one of my favorite characters and reminds me soooo much of Aang .

Finally found someone who likes Jinora as much as I do💜💜💜
zayna why is jinora gut stuck in the spirit world
Eric John dela Cerna cause unalaq send her spirit to this place called the fog of lost souls
and she’s now the youngest airbending master in history, such a queen ugh
When Korra sees her cosmic self and walks down the path of light like Aang did, even after losing her connection to her past lives, it never fails to bring tears to my eyes.

I loved Book 2 just as much as the other books, and this piece represents every bit of Book 2's charm.
The scene where the past lives were being destroyed.. with this in the background.. gave me chills..
I think that's the writers' way of saying: we're not relying on Aang's legacy to boost the show anymore; this is Korra's story now.

While the villain definitely took a backseat throughout most of the season, I enjoyed not having everything centered around him. This season answered so many questions and it truly was phenomenal. And come on, there can't be a hater that can complain about us getting Varrick and Zhu Li!
do the thing!
I agree. It wasn't perfect, but you know what? Weather people want to or not, neither was season 1 of Korra or Avatar were either. But of course the flaws are vastly outmatched by all the wonderful characters and episodes.
We gained so much more than we've lost. I still really like Unalaq even if I can't ever say it without attempted crucifiction by fans.
Season 2 wasn't quite the best for Korra, the best was yet to come, but it marked the point for me where it found it's own voice with darker storytelling and being unafraid to expand upon Avatar's legacy. It stopped feeling like an Avatar spinoff, and as a worthy sequel in it's own right that chose to take things in a different direction, and not be Aang2.0.
***** Why is everyone who disagrees with you people a "hater"?
Exactly!
"While ATLA showed me what the avatar was capable of, I feel like LOK has shown me who the avatar is behind all their power."
One of my favorite explanations of the Airbender and Korra series' is that Aang was a human that had to learn to be the Avatar; Korra was an avatar that needed to learn to be a human. You stated this idea in a different way and I like it.
"Why did you never tell us you were the Avatar?"
"Because... I never wanted to be." -Aang
"I Needed To Understand What Real Suffering Was, So I Could Become More Compassionate To Others." -Korra
No one gonna talk about how jinora
found korra,
saved korra,
saved the world and got trapped in the spirit world
listen up Disney, this is how you make a strong female
The violins are just so beautiful ♥️ I love how it has this little culture traditional sound with it :)

I'm so glad you said this.
ROBLOX Megan You're not Japanese are you.
Book 2 is seriously underrated
Book 2 and 3 are the best in my opinion
I don’t understand what Jinora did against the dark avatar, did she turn into a flash bang or something
This just makes me cry! The emotion is played so well. The vibratos are in the perfect places!😭
To be honest I think season two was the best. The villains, the music, the characters and most of all, the battles. The way korra fought unavattu after she lost her connection to her past lives AND connects to her cosmic energy and BEATS THE HECC OUT OF UNALAK makes me respect korra a lot.
It was the middle of the night when I watched this scene
My Mom was loosing her hair because of quimio and I had decided to go bald with her
But my hair had always been kind of a protection to me so I was really insecure about that decision
When I saw Jinora bald with a pure smile on her face it helped me have the strength to cut my hair that night
That I was a big step to me
can't stop listening to this
Ikr I keep replaying it. You can feel the emotions in the song. It's so beautiful. This is my favorite LoK track.
Why would you want to stop?
kookygremlin24 I don’t actually want to. It’s a really beautiful theme, honestly
WHEN JINORA GOT HER TATTOOSS T.T i was so proud
Look mom, its Jinora. She is...beautiful :)
One of the most beautiful, emotional and purist pieces of art I have ever heard and will probably ever hear.
Jinora's light is from her spirit. She is is one the allies of Raava.
I like LOK but this soundtrack was too incredible for this show. And as much as i love ATLA (masterpiece), LOK 's soundtrack is on a whole nother level.
Korra is a great show. Watch it without the nostalgia bias
agreed
John Smith Period😪
Princess Azula exactly 😤
I feel like LOK wasn't bad, i think because people were already in love with ATLA that they expected LOK to be similar. But, we got something totally different. I still think this show could've done somethings a bit better, but this show was just as good as ATLA, and in my opinion even better (At some things.)
I'll be honest, I think Book 2's season finale was 10 times better than the series finale.
EdSkywalker Me and my friend are in agreement. Felt much more final with this finale. Plus, Vaatu was much more of a threat than Kuvira ever was.
logicalfallacy234 indeed
***** You do have a point, I'm pretty sure quite a lot of fans prefered Korra empathizing with Kuvira over Korra defeating Vaatu, and felt it was much more emotional and enjoyable.
***** Yeah it would have been cool to see Korra and Asami get more depth than they did in the show, but oh well, it was still a solid pairing.
EdSkywalker In my opinion Book 2 ALK is the most beautiful book of the all 4 books.
"Find the light in the dark."
I’m convinced this and The Last Agni Kai are the best pieces of soundtrack ever composed for television or cinema. “Peace” is a close contender too
This and Makos sacrifice are *the... hands down... best music in LOK*
Even after all this time it still feels like I'm getting punched in the heart from this
I will be your light in the darkness -jinora
It's getting late
you should go to sleep now
"Go in Peace"
Everyone should hear this masterpiece
indeed i agree with you pretty boy.
Tyvm random girl I never met before
Man, this is fuckin' beautiful.
The song adds so much to the actions of the show - I loved every minute of it.
That artwork looks nothing short of religious, I LOVE IT.
It’s like korra is a goddess
ami seriously the only person who liked book 2?
Nope
I think book 2 was amazing.
Every season of Korra has been unique and fresh. Book 1 was a crazy new world with a very convincing villain. Book 2 the growth of the characters continued, (Tenzin, Korra, and Jinora had many character building moments). The villain was more or less the background of the story until the end and it was more focused on the characters evolving and revealing the lore of the world. The ending of Book 2 established a new era of possibilities for the final two books along with Korra having less guidance available for the final books. From what I've experienced in Book 3 so far, the show has developed it's characters and villains incredibly this book and I cannot wait to see what happens this Friday in the Finale!
I loved book 2, i think the characters in book 2 have learnt their lessons about they won't repeat it again such as keeping secrets, love triangle bullshit, etc. it was awesome to learn about how the first avatar cycle began and we had the opportunity to know more about spirits. Book 2 may have been weird somehow but I enjoyed it. 👍

Which reminds me -- someone, either Nick or SOMEONE, needs to make a "Zhu Li, do the thing!" shirt! :(
Legend of Korra OST brings so many tears to my eyes and makes me remember them
In lightest day, in darkest night, no evil spirit shall escape my light. Let those who worship Vaatu’s might fall to my power... Raava’s light!
Ah yes, Korra the White Lantern
Great to see a tLoK video with (almost) no hate comments coming from nostalgia slaves...
Ikr, those people thankfully seem to be less frequent than they once were. Probably the most annoying group of crybabies I've ever had the misfortune of encountering
"Since beginningless time, darkness thrives in the void, but always yields to purifying light."
Korra has such an amazing sound track!
one of the best songs
Can we just appreciate the relationship honors has to korra. She helped her in book 2 and 3 and 4. A true friend and savior.
Maybe it's not as good as The last airbender series.
But this doesn't mean The legend of Korra is a bad series, I don't understand the hate it receives, sometimes I wonder if they ever watched a single episode
For me both series are masterpieces
same each tell their own story and hold a dear place in my heart
Jinora is literally my favorite character I love her so much
Book 2 of Korra had a lot of problems, no doubt, but the final was one of the greatest in TV history. Korra's spiritual and personal growth is amazing.
LoK had a lot of problems in and of itself. Yes, let's let the eternal spirit of darkness be the season 2 enemy and have the final season's enemy be a random metal bender and falsely make the final battle epic where she controls a big metal robot engineered by a guy whom Varrick didn't even take that seriously until that point, cause you know, plot.
Meidoification I fail to see whats wrong with either of those plots. Each have their background with really good writing. The first one was just as unbelievable what kind of country would want to find a war for 100 years constantly? The U.S couldn't even make it 10 years with the whole country backing it up. The fire nation plot was just as good as any LOK plot.
a woolf what he/she meant was that it seemed rather unfit the final villain being a random metal bender whos finale is a giant robot while the halfway villain was the embodiment of darkness, and the finale was the possibility of leaving the world in darkness for 10,000 years.
a woolf book 3.... dont get me started.... IT WAS PERFECT. the plot was insane. korra finds the new air benders due to the harmonic convergance and the main enemy can FLY! FUCKING FLY! THAT IS THE SICKEST SHIT EVER totally unexpected. this show has some unexpected turns to it thats the reason people love it more than the avatar!
Meidoification the themes strike much deeper than that. Just because Unalaq /physically/ became an embodiment of darkness and Kuvira wasn't /physically/ anything of that sort, doesn't mean she wasn't thematically a better series-end villain. There were themes of how she reflected Korra, and the final season was more about Korra's arc than anything. (As well as themes of Balance.) As it should be.
I always thought that season 2 spirits was kinda scary, and this song is like hountingly beautiful in a way..
This was the most thrilling, dramatic, exciting, emotional moment of season 2.
Watched the last episode yesterday, cried my eyes out because I had Avatar and LOK feels, and the series I grew to love with all my heart just ended.
This show is so awesome ! ❤❤
This is such an epic sounding soundtrack, like something you’d hear at the end of time or something.
I had nonstop chills and goosebumps when I saw Korra letting go all of her earthly attachments and connecting to the cosmic energies. Such a great soundtrack!
This is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard. I swear I'm on the verge of tears every time I hear this.
I remember the day Korra premiered, good times.
"Find the light in the dark".
although i know people have their reservations about this season, i personally like the whole season itself, including season 2
This track is amazing
When I was younger i watched parts of Legend of Korra and for some reason stopped watching it and didn't finish. Years later after watching all the seasons of Legend of Korra again as an adult just starting out her life it just hits different. The way u see the animation as a child and see certain lessons differntly but pick up and understand some of the lessons that this animation talks about as u get older is just astonishing. Just thinking about it for some reason makes me emotional nd idk why tho😭😭 but this is one of my most favorite songs along with the episode with harmonic convergence "Light in the Dark" something about it just hits deep in the feels🤷🤷💙
I love the explosive drums at the peak of the song, really makes you feel amazed
This is so beautiful
"From light comes darkness... And from darkness, light!"
-Khadgar, Warcraft
Just finished rewatching Korra through season 3, and Jinora's theme plays again in the Service and Sacrifice piece. This really is her motif. Love it and I love her arc in the series.
These songs never Failed to keep me in balance
What a beautiful song.👏👏
The chills I got from this are abnormal...
I just wish Nickelodeon would release book 2,3, and 4 soundtracks! Instead they're wasting money on shows like Bella and the Bulldogs!
I love Bella and the Bu-, who am I fooling?
Eric Richard Haha I ot scared for a second!
People keep saying that Aang was better, but Korra felt her emotions so much more deeply and she was so much more relatable. Aang mightve been the better the better Avatar, but Korra dealt with politics and relationships and LOSING her bending, which she overcame. Aang could fight yes, but Korra could take more than one hit, mentally and physically.
That is absolutely correct. Thank you for actually acknowledging Korra. So few people actually give her the credit she deserves. Aang was awesome too, don't get me wrong, but Korra was older and dealt with a lot of shit, like PTSD.
i feel like korra was more emotional because of her brash behaviour, its like a ying and yang thing, aang, when in the avatar state, was fersome and scary however he was a peace loving human, while korra is brash and all out for a fight, she had the emotional side where her consequences had actual effect and she would always learn that the hard way, she was put through so much more because she had originally lived a life of easy training but when she trully became the avatar, she learnt, mentally, that she is just one person who had to bear the burden of everyones suffering, including herself. aang had it easy, learn the elements, defeat one guy, he even had the chance of love, sure you could say that around the end, aang faced his fear and got over the traumatising experience of burning his friend but he didnt suffer anything mental besides ansomnia
+ProjectMasterpiece omg yes someone else gets it.
Aang was a 12 year old kid. Korra is an adult woman.
Margaretha Falco Korra was a seventeen year old girl sheltered from the rest of the world for the majority of her life.
In terms of story, this book was by far the best in the entire franchise. The hate towards it mostly comes from a lack of understanding of the show.
- People apparently complain about Jinora's abilities, but it was never stated that only the Avatar could have spiritual powers. On the contrary, this book shows that anyone can get in and out of the spiritual world (Hiro even literally lives in the Spirit world), and many people interact with spirits all the time. It's also not specific to the Legend of Korra, since the Last Airbender has several episodes dedicated to spirits. So I don't see why Jinora couldn't have spiritual powers.
- Jinora's power doesn't come out of nowhere, she develops it through this entire season. There's no need to explain _why_ she has those powers, just like there is no need to explain why Korra (and Aang before her) was the chosen one instead of other characters.
She uses her astral projection to find someone multiple times in this season, so it makes sense that she'd be the one to find Raava in the end. Her whole character is "the one who finds others".
Jinora is also a much more optimistic character than Korra, so again, it makes sense that she'd be the one to find the Light and not Korra.
- Unalak was brillantly written, only a couple of lines are ridiculous ("I am the Malefic avataaaar!" and "Let the Darkness expand" ; basically the stereotypical villain lines). Ignoring the few dialogues where he's portrayed as the cliché evil guy, that character makes a relevant and deep point : Society gets more and more superficial, to the point that it ignores the important matters that could bring chaos and disorder.
In the case of this season, it's the anger of the Spirits, which the Water Tribes _must_ appease but the South Tribe gave up on this job. It also ties to the superficial life in the Republic City. If Bolin becomes an actor in this season, it's because Hollywood is renowned for being superficial, so the authors used it as a basis for a plot point.
Basically, Unalak had a point. And that's why Korra decides to literally do what he wanted to do (let the spirits invade the human world).
- The Last Airbender showed that the Avatar had to calm the wars between different "magical nations". Book 1 of Korra shows that the Avatar must also appease the tensions between "Mages" and "non-mages". Book 2 expands the role of the Avatar even further, showing that it has to be the bridge between spirits and humans (something that _was_ explained in the original series, but was never truly important to the plot).
- There's freaking VARIK! That character is the best in this entire world, lol. Seriously, that guy is the perfect definition of opportunist, and I love how he's always in control, even when he's thrown in prison.
All in all, this book is the one that has the most lore of all seasons (across _both_ series). It also has some of the best scenes, and some of the best characters.
i was SOBBING through the entirety of this, i felt so much for korra
Wow, out of the entire Avatar series, The Last Airbender and The Legend Of Korra, Jinora surely got one of the most epic theme song of all characters!
wow...so many feels brought on by this. it was amazing. thanks for posting.
Best musical piece in the series hands down
2024 and I’m still getting goosebumps from this
Every sad scene in LOK goes with this song perfectly
Jinora rules, definitely
this piece made me cry more than uh any of the music. Jinora is such a well written and beautiful character bro im tearing up thinking about this
THE SOUNDTRACK OF AVATAR LITERALLY GIVE ME CHILLS!! 😍😍😍
Both shows have some of the most impeccable music on TV. On par with Game of Thrones and exceeding in a few areas in terms of score
Always come back to this song once in a while
I cried like a baby. First time have a song made me cry.
welcome to the club
@Tea spill i will go check it out roght now!
