A part of me wishes that Tenzin had stuck with the traditional glider. That way he’d be part of the flip-phone generation of airbenders, and he doesn’t really understand these kids with their smart-phone wingsuits.
You're a genius
That is brilliant. Also smart-phone wingsuit is a PERFECT band name.
I always figured Kuvira had everything ready to go for the giant mech, she just needed the platinum. that's why she went after Zaofu first, then Republic city. If the fire nation can take what is essentially a balloon with fire place in the basket of it, to the flying war machines they had in the finale, and that was in just a few months. then I don't see the problem with another very militaristic society taking technology this world has had for years, and advancing it. We don't actually have any idea how much time has passed since she took Zaofu
Avatar: The Last Airbender technologically feels like it was set in the 1880's, because that was when we first invented airships and destroyers. Although ironclad and steam-powered ships were around for 30 years by then. The Fire Nation could easily be compared to Napoleonic France at one end of the 1800's, and Nazi Germany past the other end.
And comparative to our timeline, The Legend of Korra has a very 20's feel to it. Of course technology advances. I love that it does. But it rubs me the wrong way that technology advances so quickly. At least with the Fire Nation tanks, despite how it looks, its function is more synonymous with the tank that Leonardo Da Vince designed way back in the 1500's. Sure, they looked like WW1 tanks, because of the treads. But aside from that, Fire Nation tanks were mostly just armoured engines that could swivel. No guns or loading mechanisms, because they had firebenders.
I mean, fighter planes are a new thing in Season 1 of the Legend of Korra. And that was just the right level of technological innovation since Aang defeated Ozai, because the progression still felt natural. And although I don't like the mech suits - especially the ones with legs - I didn't mind the ones that the Equalists had so much, because they were still quite tank-like. But I don't like Kuvira's mechs at all, because they're just too suit-like. We hardly even see planes after the first season. I would have totally preferred that they were featured more prominently.
And although Kuvira's super-weapon being on a rail would have been fitting to a 20's setting, compared to a spirit-laser-mecha-zilla; it could have been put on a great big blimp like Ozai had in the original series, armoured with platinum, piloted with metalbending, and upgraded with newer technology like engines powered by electricity, and given air-cover by planes and other airships.
The technology in this series has advanced way too quickly to feel natural. I mean, just look at our world: 140 years since of technological innovation since we've invented the airship, without even having to rely on the power to control the elements, and even today mech suits, walkers, and robotic technology in military applications are still a long way off.
@@mitchellhayward6492 a lot of the issues we have today are with power, the spirit vines fixed that problem for them. A lot of the other stuff I just chalked up to what I call the Tony Stark effect. Someone creates something that advances technology farther than anything in the last 50 years, and suddenly the world takes a whole jump forward
@@mitchellhayward6492 really, my biggest gripe about the giant mech(and honestly, the concept of giant mechs in general for any media) is that it's just extremely inefficient. Like, we could probably make something like that if we wanted to with current technology, and I have no issue believing they could(whether the timeline of construction lines up is another story, a thing like that would take years even with metal benders). But the amount of energy it would consume and the amount of material needed would make the endeavor completely illogical. Not to mention a giant bipedal robot with normal human proportions is ridiculously unstable. Imagine having to move a skyscraper while keeping it level. The logical thing to do would be to put it on wheels, or maybe multiple legs, so that there's still multiple things keeping it stable as it moves forward. Instead, you have this, where you need to consider how to make sure the thing doesn't fall backwards from the recoil of its giant laser. Not to mention since it is walking, the cockpit is basically bouncing up and down with each step. Having worked in the bridge of a ship in the middle of rough seas, I can say with certainty that it would suck. That's not even going into the logistics of being an engineer working in one of the legs, and constantly going between 25 degrees to either side every few seconds.
TLDR the only reason to ever build a giant mech would be for the intimidation factor. Yeah, that's right, I have so many resources and so much disposable time and manpower that I decided to make a giant robot. Could I have more weapons than that? Maybe, who knows?
@@CrownofMischief Thing is, there are in-universe reasons why the mech works when it absolutely wouldn't in real life. The vines generate essentially unlimited energy so that issue is removed, Kuvira is bending the mech so the stability and control issues are removed, the material was already present and refined at Zaofu so that issue was removed, Kuvira's platform is a self-stabilizing so the bouncing issue is removed, and as far as I know lasers are just fancy light and don't really generate recoil, especially not enough to knock over a giant mech. As far as I can tell having watched the whole franchise about ten times, there is literally no significant reason that the mech is a bad idea in this specific situation. In a city environment where tanks have to navigate around even small buildings and obstacles and there are infinite places to hide covered anti-aircraft emplacements, a humanoid body is a great advantage if it can be made functional, and Kuvira had every way to make it so.
EDIT: I will say that while the mech makes sense, Kuvira's tactics in using it were absolutely shit. She essentially had the PERFECT sniping platform. If she positioned the mech on a hill overlooking the city, and had the mech absolutely surrounded by anti-aircraft, infantry, and artillery to dispatch any approaching threats, she could have absolutely leveled the city if they didn't surrender first and nobody could have gotten near her. Even an underground stealth approach wouldn't work because all Metalbenders have seismic sense.
Instead she just walks it into the city where there are tons of buildings to use as cover to get close and infiltrate the mech.
@@bbillyk while I'll admit the power and recoil are solved, the rest really isn't. I haven't seen anything thing to suggest there was any kind of "self stabilizing platform", but even if there was, at best it would just keep the thing level, the platform would still be moving up and down. And the mech(at least it's outer shell) is made of platinum, so they had to physically take down Zaofu's platinum walls and melt them down the old fashioned way, which would take way longer than it did in the show. Also Kuvira isn't bending the mech itself, she's bending levers that control the movements, so stability is definitely still an issue.
"I'd slit his throat" Holy shit Shane I laughed out so loud.
I imagine the gun was the last thing added while the actual mech was made a while ago.
MGNition ya
the mech is made from the domes of Zao fu
Iroh’s fleet has had some really lousy luck in this series over the course of several years since:
-A fleets worth of ships was sunk or disabled by Equalist mines and aircraft
-Multiple ships were disabled or capsized by Unavaatu
-And even more ships were sunk due to Kuvira’s spirit energy cannon
Jeffrey Chinn And Raiko never wants to fucking use them.
STOP BLOWING HOLES IN MY SHIPS!
Im surprised they did not start using the planes that messed them up in season 1...
Jeffrey Chinn They just seem like fodder at this point, which is pretty sad.
You do see that they appear briefly in the end of Book 2 when Unavaatu attacks Republic City. As for why they don't show up in this one? No idea ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The United Forces are the military for the Republic, so it's not the Fire Nation interfering.
MrEvers Eric is saying if the Earth Empire is attacking an foreign country will the Fire Nation now help.
They would, but til they mobilise an army and bring it over the sea it would possibly take months.
that would barely cover the travel time amssuming they can gather enough airships to transport hundred of people and Mechs, and remember the Fire Nation is somewhat demilitarized at this time so they likely dont have a huge standing army at one location.
She already said she would help Republic City defend. Just another detail that Blind Wave missd entirely. She said she did not want to get involved in a non-provoced attack, but that she would help in the deffence of the city.
Idk, man, the Fire Nation went from having just invented hot air balloons (by a foreign mechanist who never helped them again, no less) to having gigantic war-ready metal zeppelins over the course of a few months. So...
Daniel Cohen But that was over the course of several seasons which made it more believable. Not to mention, they did a good job of teasing it to us at the end of the episode. This giant mech was never teased at any point (even though there have been mechs since book 1, there hasn't been anything concrete to hint at this giant gundam of destruction). Plus, let's say that the platinum shell is made from the shells of Zaofu, that gives us 5 episodes to see it, not to mention 5 episodes probably isn't several months (and even if it was, that's a huge gap of time for such few episodes).
You dont show secret weapons willy nilly.
The Eva robot is more a why than a how as it is just a scaled up version of the mech suits.
Leaky Peach Well Kuvira had been taking over the Earth Kingdom for 3 years
Rick Jones And you will continue to call it dumb instead of listening to reason.
Rick Jones i love the crew and all but... you just seem to look at them as holy people who can't be mentioned or spoken of unless it's a prayer of how amazing they are.
Because GOD FORBID stating ones opinion and that you actualy disagree with the Crew, BURN HIM ALVE!!!
I feel bittersweet about Blindwave ending the Avatar series, Time to revisit the ATLA reactions soon!
you can argue that the mech's skeleton was already made by just metalbending it all together ...and after zaofu they just added the platinum shell
Shane's spirit animal is no doubt Bakugo, always wanting to kill someone LOL
It gets annoying. He's definitely season/volume 1 Bakugo....crude, arrogant, short-tempered, and aggressive....surprised more people aren't also annoyed with him. Wish Shane would be more like current season Bakugo.
"HURT HIM... SHIT"
Shane is the thought I had but didn't want to say.
All I'm gonna say is this. If the Fire Nation can make multiple giant metal airships in the span of a few months then The Earth Kingdom can make one giant robot. Should I even get into the Gigantic Drill the Fire Nation had?
RynKen I mean, we’re meant to assume that the drill had been in the works since Iroh failed to siege Ba Sing Se, a good few decades.
And the airships weren’t really all that complicated. Just a more advanced model of the airships.
This is upscaling an already brand new mech suit to a far larger, gundam ass suit with far more fluidity and function in its design in the span of about a month or two. That’s a pretty big stretch, not entirely unbelievable but it’s pushing it.
PrismAnime Those giant airships are much more complicated then the rather simple hot air balloons they originated from and managed to be completely covered in what looks like thick iron on all sides and still fly just fine. The giant mech is nowhere near as maneuverable as the smaller ones and has very few gadgets by comparison. It's like they stripped out the more complicated parts like shock wires and extendable grips so it could focus on maintaining its size and, as a result, its more believable to me.
Kuvira potentially had the idea to make a giant version of the platinum mechs right from when she started assimilating the entire Earth Kingdom and it's resources. She even had the two genius inventors, Varrick and Julie on hand the whole time for over three years.
Obviously they're more complicated, however, they aren't so much so that it's unbelievable that in around 6 months they could improve upon the mechanic's design with the zeppelins.
Looking at the interior and such, it's basically the same as their larger warships. As such, adding that interior and thicker metal coating to the exterior is just a matter of balancing the physics. An airballoon isn't that complicated whatsoever. All they really did was add a larger cabin with thicker material.
Making a gundam suit that shoots lasers however, is completely different. The original deisgns were clunky and had to use wheels to move. The arms could only go up and down, different from this suit. Clearly it isn't very fluid in its walking, but figuring out how to upscale a brand-new design, work on maintaining the powersource for such a giant mech and add to its fluidity in just a month or so would be nigh on impossible.
Yes she had the resources to do so, but the timeframe doesn't add up. Genius inventors doesn't mean that the actual business of testing and developing work much quicker, it makes the actual product better or the design process quicker.
It's just not very logical.
Are just gonna pretend like part of my previous comment doesn't exist?
*"Kuvira potentially had the idea to make a giant version of the platinum mechs right from when she started assimilating the entire Earth Kingdom and it's resources."*
That gives her over three years to work with. If she already had the plans laid out, all she would need is enough platinum to finish it and Zaofu did exactly that, from the look of things. It sounds pretty logical, when you look at the whole picture.
Didn't I address that? I suppose I'll go into more detail.
Yes, she had access to resources, but having the idea doesn't make the actual planning and testing, etc go any faster. If she had the idea she'd still need a crew of inventors to start planning, making tests, doing research, etc. That would take a good few years before any building would even begin to take place.
Humans had the first serious idea about going to the moon in the 1860's, we had the resources in the 1940's (plus there was a war going on) but we didn't accomplish it until the late 60's. Research and testing for big, revolutionary projects like that takes a lot of time.
So to suggest that the idea for this made it likely that she could have been building it for three years makes no sense for the argument. If she had the idea from her first assimilations, it would have taken weeks if not months to gather a team to start designing. Months to come up with a suitable design and begin working on a test product. By this point we're likely a year in. Then, assuming there were no problems (which would be incredibly unlikely) they would have to work on making an upscaled version of the suit. Another month or so of research spent trying to work out the physics. Then they'd have to wait for the proper resources to come in and continue the work. Assuming they had a design that they were confident in and just needed platinum from Zaofu, they'd still need a few weeks to add it to the suit and then a few months of testing before it was ready for use. The timeline doesn't add up even assuming the typical setbacks we face in new models and inventions didn't occur.
An idea and resources doesn't mean that the process gets to skip the steps, sorry.
for Kuvira's defense, she only said the other nations shouldn't interfere, because it's an internal earthkingdom conflict, she never said she wouldn't attack republic city, why would she reveal her plans to her enemies
Nooo it's almost over :(
Ragnar Lothbrok _ actually its over maybe they have already uploaded last episode on patreon
STAR lord I wonder how they reacted to *you know what*
Ragnar Lothbrok _ Thank god
at least now you can see that every group/ nation in the avatar universe can be in the position of evil. in ATLA it was the firenation, in LOK book 1 an alleged nonbender who represented nonbenders (yeah amon is a bloodbender but he didn't represent bending, although he used it only when it was necessary), in book 2 it's a waterbender, in book 3 an airbender and in book 4 the earth empire. like in real life everybody has got the potential to do evil things to reach his or her goals. I love this kind of message in the series
Yeah it's pretty good message.
That's one of the great messages of the show. There is evil potential in all good.... as well as the other way around, i wish more people would really think about this part of the show^^
Alexander Schwarz thanks for your words
Haha, you're welcome :-)
Air Nomads are the only nation that didnt have anyone evil, Zaheer prior to getting airbending would have been either Water Tribe, Earth Kingdom or Fire Nation
The Earth Queen did gripe about "stolen Earth Kingdom lands", but who would've thought Kuvira wanted to take back those lands now. I thought after Zaofu, she would be done with her uniting her nation, but I guess she isn't going to let this this go as well.
Oh Bataar, you lovesick fool. Too bad Kuvira doesn't love you as much as you love her. Well, at least to the point of actually giving up her goal for you.
I can understand if people don't necessarily like the giant mech, since it is indeed a bit jarring. A bit for me, because considering some of the crazy things we've seen from Avatar as a whole, I could let this go.
Two more episodes left! We've finally reached the end, huh?
Specializator I remember getting so excited seeing that in my recommended as well! I was already watching some of their reactions to other shows, but seeing them start ATLA brought me so much joy lol.
Specializator Couldn't agree more!! :)
7:20 dunno why but the way Bumi and Tenzin charge into the room combined with Bataar‘s cry of terror never fails to crack me the fuck up
I like how each of korras villains represent a struggle in the early 20th century.
Amon - communism
Unalocke - spiritual/religious fundamentalism or theocratic nationalism
Zaheer - anarchism
Kuvira - fascism
Noatak knew through bloodbending exactly what Tarlok was doing and did nothing to stop it, so I think it was more of a double suicide.
The Giant Mech is honestly a little crazy, all things considered, but ah well, it makes for a fun finale story piece. I mean, even ignoring time constraints and technology leap, there's also the pure physics-defying element, considering anything that large and that heavy should just realistically collapse through any terrain and instantly get stuck, ESPECIALLY if it had two big feet instead of treads to move around. Early tanks often faced the same issue, and they were like a 20th of the mass of this crazy thing.
So yeah, it's a bit of a shark jump, but it's a good final hurdle too, I guess.
Wolf6120 Science fiction, and fantasy bro.
Plus this doesn't take place in our universe, so it could definitely make sense in theirs.
Personally, I still find it to be way too jarring, even for this universe. The technological leap from the equivalent of the middle ages to the early 1920s-40s in only 60 years is one thing that DOES earn an honest pass, but if someone told me there was an honest-to-god GUNDAM in *Avatar* ... it's weird. REALLY weird. Especially for an end-of-series-finale, instead of just a season-finale. I came to see "Avatar"... not Power Rangers/Gundam Wing/Insert Giant Robot Kaiju Anime Here.
I feel as though there might have been something better planned for the finale, but given the Sponge's interference, time constraints, and budget-cuts, this was the best that they could work with (and in fairness to the Team, they DID still manage to do a great job with what they had and kind of pulled it off). But that's only my opinion. Regardless, I will never not love this series: flaws and oddities included.
it would have made more sense as an artillery piece like this www.games-workshop.com/fr-FR/Biovore-Tyranide
I like to imagine Kuvira has earthbenders solidifying the ground beneath the mech.
I've heard of a few people not liking the giant mech before, but I personally really like it and what they did with it in the last 2 episodes. So excited to watch your reactions to the last 2 episodes!
PUtbone Yeah that's the thing. Calvin sometimes does that.
PUtbone number of episode doesn't represent passage of time. It took 5 episodes for namek to blow up in 5 minutes
Rick Jones
Not being able to respect other people's opinion, assuming random stuff about other people, and displaying your own opinion as fact. I see.
Rick Jones Or you don't realize how much people are fine with it because you hang out in circle of people who share your opinion.
Rick Jones I haven't read one comment that was attacking them for not liking it. They're all saying how they like it. They're allowed to disagree. Even this comment? Did he "attack" them?
And now we see how determined and ruthless Kuvira really is. I mean, she cares for Bataar, Jr. but not enough to sacrifice everything she's been working for. I honestly don't mind the robot. BUT IT'S ALMOST OVER, NOOO! ))):
I know they don't read the comments not to get spoilers, but General Iroh is not on behalf of the Fire Nation. Even though he is the Fire Lord's son, he actually works for the United Republic Forces, the former Fire Nation colonies, whose capital is Republic Cities, right?
this is correct. Raiko had power over him and could prevent him from leading forces to help the southern water tribe against the north in Season 2. That's because General Iroh is United Republic not fire nation.
So sad that you guys are coming to an end to both your Korra and Avatar journey. I've loved that you guys have been able to see all the comedy, storytelling and emotions that made this my all time favourite show growing up! It's been an amazing ride and I hoped you've enjoyed, who knows, there might be a future series of this you guys can react to!
The scale and world building done in this ep, is just amazing. I'm mean in story term wise, I love where the source of platinum and kuvira's motivation.
He says 'Brolin' instead of Bolin on purpose! DAMN IT CALVIN!!!
I don't care what anyone says the figh versus the robot and then the final Kurvira v Korra fight was awesome. The robot was random but it was a good opponent for team Avatar.
Book 4: slow and steady... then BAM last 3 episodes 0-100 real quick. I kinda feel like book 4's plot was very brief and streched out. Kuvira has strong claims but the giant mech is a love it or hate it thing (atleast for me.)
It's a shame that they are almost finished with the entire avatar series. Avatar and Korra are the greatest animated tv shows of all time in my eyes. The avatar franchise will always hold a special place in my heart. When I have kids I will me sure they take witness to these great shows!
MegaBlackk1d If you're a Star Wars fan, check out The Clone Wars and Rebels. They're the next best thing in terms of modern American animation in my eyes.
I sort of just started watching clone wars i'm on episode 20 or something
MegaBlackk1d Stick with it and you'll eventually get to see some of the best Star Wars content ever. No lie. Specifically Seasons 4-6.
Alright thanks man and yeah I have been watching it on and off there are so many shows to watch, but none of them feel the void of Avatar and Korra.
the fire lord said the fire nation wouldnt help on an attack against kuvira, but when they decided to set defenses in republic city she agreed to help with that.
General Iroh is the general of the united republic navy he doesn't answer only to the Firelord he answers to the Republic city council and Mayor.
2 more to go. It was a wild, fun ride. I enjoyed it very much.
How much money do i need to donate to get you guys 2 review the last airbender movie after korra. if us early avatar fans suffer you must suffer with us
jedimaster677 This
Shut up and take my money!
I think Eric saw it right?
Alex Boutin One of them saw it after they finished ATLA not sure who though.
suffer what? the movie was fun to watch.
I think people who call the technology in Korra far fetched just dont remember the tech that was shown in ATLA too. The Fire Nation had their airships which even had radio intercoms installed into them, and tanks and they engineered the Drill, which also had radio intercoms. And in the Day of Black Sun part 1 you can see the mechanist driving a truck loaded with rocks for the earthbenders to use so there's even an example of a car in the original series. And you could even see lightbulbs inside of the airships and the drill. Then in the comics there are already forklifts which are seen for thre first time in the Rift. So to have Korra take place 70 years later and feature mecha tanks and trains isn't far fetched at all. And we cant compare technological advancements in a fantasy show to that of the real world, which is what I feel like a lot of people do when they criticize how far technology has come in Korra.
Considering the 1920s aesthetic of LOK, I think it's pretty clear why they have a problem :T
Tia Blue yes but having bending would make some aspects of technology less important (hence wouldn't bother working on it) while making other developments faster.
For example:
The need for advanced power engines is not as important when you can shoot lightning out of your fingers. (Mako also has stated that he worked in a power plant once)
Things like armour and mechs wouldn't be as hard in the real world when you have people who can move and form metal just like they want it to be.
The whole platinum mech is another case, but i don't think the technologcal elements of Korra are far-fetched at all, really.
Tia Blue That's the aesthetic of Republic City moron. Not the Earth Empire or any other nation.
+Final Account: No need for insults. Also, considering Republic City has all kinds of benders living there, you'd think they would be the most technologically advanced
+Sondre Bol: What does that have to do with the giant robot? If they gave some indication that the world was less advanced than ours in some ways and more advanced in others, fine, cool. But the robot is literally the only time the Avatar world somehow obtained technology that far surpasses anything we have today. It's a little farfetched to me, that's all. Especially considering it only took them 3 years at absolute most to build it
I feel like with the first season of Avatar, when you had the biggest military/scientific power (the fire nation) make tanks and big airships in a medieval world, jumping 70 years where we have cars and trains with another superpower making mech suits and giant robots isnt that big of a stretch. Plus, when one person can bench press a mountain by themselves, an entire army could whip up something like that in no time.
I'm far more ok with Kuvira's colossus than I was with giant spirit Korra. It's a little goofy, but it's way more grounded than the Season 2 final show-down, and I'm cool with it.
I am not a huge fan of the mech(I don't dislike it at all) but this shot 3:37 is so damn cool looking.
I can't wait for your reactions to the last episodes.
The Fire Lord said they would not participate in an offensive attack when suggested. When they said about defending, she said on that you have our (the Fire Nation’s) support.
3:14
Izumi said she wouldn't aid in an attack against Kuvira, but she is helping defend the city.
Btw Kuvira is voiced by Zelda Williams !
I can't wait for their reaction to the last episode, last scene. You know why chat.
I wish Nickelodeon would've had the balls to actually make it crystal clear though ...
I love Kuvira
Nicolás Godetti Same
Me too.
"look, she has metal balls" - Eric (2018) 😂
so we’re ignoring how korra threatened baltal jr? i know she was definitely not like aang but the kyoshi rlly jumped out of her soul
22:35 The music from this end card reminded me of the Pillar Men theme
So excited to see what goes into this stop when you guys finish Korra
Korra and 420 on the same day can I be any more blessed? 😯😳⚡
I don't mind the giant mech but I agree when they were talking about a giant tank instead. I think something like a Metal Gear Shagohod would have been a better choice.
I believe kuvira used liquid metal to control the giant mecha tank...interesting correlation to korra having liquid metal trapped in her body🤔
nakeisha brown it was the meteorites from Zoafu
nakeisha brown you mean...mercury?
Because there’s only two periodic elements that are actually liquid.
every metal can be liquid if kept at certain temps
Evan Andrews the periodic table is concerned with room temperature when the discussion is about what “form” the element is, you fucking moron.
Firstly, not all metals are single elements "you fucking moron". Secondly, I wasn't talking about the periodic table specifically, and so I had no reason to care about room temperature. How the fuck do you know the inside of the mech is room temperature? It is a giant metal robot powered by spirit vines!
#VarrLi💙 better than any other story
White Walker Zhurrick
Gonna go ahead and say some spoiler shit, since Blind Wave has seen the finale by now.
As much as I love VarrLi, I always found it funny how people say Korrasami was rushed when Varrick and Zhu Li didn't even have their first kiss until seconds after getting engaged. Meanwhile, all that Korrasami was is them going on a date. No kiss or wedding. Just a date. The same way any relationship starts.
That said though, I don't even care. They're still a pretty damn awesome ship lol.
This weapon of the Earth Empire is essentially the equivalent of Germany and nuclear weapons of WW2
She's another chin the conquer
Yeah random ocean spirit thing from the first season of Avatar isn't much belivable as giant spirit Korra. I think they're almost the same things.
karl jonson yep
I hated the Giant Mech when I first saw this episode, but the next 2 made me love it.
Oh, the giant robot is out of place, but the giant mechanical drill of death and silliness from Avatar Season 2 was fine? xD
7:22 if they were all villains, that's what they would do. Aaron and Calvin would be the brains, Shane would be the sadistic one and Eric would be the muscle. 😂
The mega mech is eh, but it's fun. That's how I see it, it makes for a fun final battle, but it's just not really my taste and I don't think it fits well. I really don't like how they are able to contain and use spirit energy, I find that really really stupid. But again, it's different and it's fun.
Broccoli Rocks what do you find stupid about the Earth Empire being able to harness spirit energy?
Love the wing suit
The part when a giant mecha tank come in they had a secret weapon Baatar built it. Past Avatar never dealt with anything like this. Kuvira always one step ahead had a back up plan: Anyone who tries to betray me there will be severe consequences
Giant Mech isn't that much of a jump. We already had giant robots
3:33 And they've pulled a Hannibal Barca. Context: Hannibal Barca, a general of Carthage, led an army in 220 BCE over the Alps in the middle of winter to attack Rome. He'd lose thousands of men, as well as half of the elephants he'd brought, but he'd ravage Italy for 18 years, he even massacred an army of 80,000 Romans, killing all but 3k of them, and Rome didn't surrender.
Why did it take so long to for my brain to make connection the War of the Worlds with that mech.
Not that it might've been meant so.
The spirit weapon is like MGS for me. It went from being the Shagohad from MGS3 to a legit Metal Gear (without nukes), so I love the giant robot just for that!
Ugh I wish youtube and viacom weren't such %^&$ and allowed people to upload full reactions. This next episode is one where I want to see everything !
Allan Mena pay for the full reactions. Than buy the korra blue ray
I am already a patreon and own the blu ray, thats not the point though...
Allan Mena that was excaxly your point sir..
It would be really stupid of any show to allow uploading literally the entire series onto CZcams through reactions. And if you're a $10 Patron you can watch their full length reactions.
Waw almost the end 😢 i watched a lot of ur journey since atla eps 1.
No one expected the giant robot.
5:56 Reminds of Beirut's recent explosion.
wow didnt expect someone to comment this so soon on a 2 year old vid
Shane is so fkin violent lol "Slit his throat"
Yeah he is very angry guy.
It’s clear that Calvin is the baby of the group
stan min yoongi lol faxxx
All hail the great uniter!
Waiting all week for this, can't wait for your reaction
What would you think if they made it a four legged walker more like the walkers in Star Wars clone era?
Man two episodes left till the end of our Avatar journey ..:(
It’s been a hell of a ride and I hope you do a discussion of the entire series and your thoughts on it
The weapon of Kuvira of episode 10 is based on the Schwerer Gustav, created by the nazi. Must things in Earth Empire remember nazism, Kuvira is the female version of Hitler in avatar universe
I'm so sad the avatar story is almost over for them. Luckily The Normies are still reacting to Korra.
"A whole line of people that she was doing"
If only.
I love watching people react to the suddden gaint robot.
if i remember correctly, the next 2 episodes are considered 1 episode, and i pray since this is the last avater we will ever get please do a doubble episode next week for the finale, because together in my opinion its better than ang vs the Pheonix king
The last two was released together for the finale, so I guess it can be considered as one episode lol
wowbaka They're not going to.
wowbaka I loved that Avatar finale with sozins comet. But I like Korras too even though the robot caught me completely off guard, I like the way they won that fight.
It definitely has the best soundtrack. Though I prefered the season 3 finale of korra and maybe sozins comet over it, it is still absolutely amazing
Been waiting so long to yell when the enemy appeared "IT'S A MECH!!!!!!!"
Hey guys, quick info, " Baatar " is a Mongolian name which means a "hero"
I look at bending like the force from Star wars. We don't know completly everything. There's still a dose of mystery there. Especialy now when it's a new age.
“Oh she has metal balls” 😂😂
"A weapon to surpass the metalgear" kuvira
No its almost over!!!!
If I were one of those air acolytes and I saw that thing walking toward me across the battlefield, I would just be like "fuck this shit I’m out" O_o
Concerning the "fart bending" ... well at least Milo had some other funny moments in the show not depending on fart bending, and being believable concerning his character.
However i also felt that the fart bendings was a bit too silly for this season. it was alright for the third season as a comic relief, considering Milos age. but now more than 3 years later and him being grown up like that..... it is a silly kind of "weapon". Not matter how awful your diet.... farts are not really harmful, mostly they'd serve as a distraction, if anything at all^^
I have to say I agree, I don't love a giant robot thingy either.
My stomach dropped when I saw the fliers (forget what they're called). You know the reason why.
yall avatar is almost over :( i dont know what to do with my life after this finishes avatar literally is my everything
Kim Hanna don't know if it helps but, another react channel called Renegades React just started reacting to the first episode of Last Airbender.
Might not know the people there as much as the Crew but... could replace it if you like them. :)
That random giant drill and the Ocean Spirit randomly merging with Avatar Aang is their taste though.
Final Account The fire nation had been at war for 100 years and spent a lot of time trying and failing to take ba sing sae so the drill is easily believable. As for the Ocean Spirit they built up to it over the course of the first season with Aang's avatar states and the anger he felt. Their problem is that up until now the show has been relatively on track with the real world in terms of industrialisation, and now you have a giant robot that was never hinted at shown or teased and doesn't make sense based on what they have previously established. The Drill and The Ocean Spirt both had other events that established them as realistically possible.
TheJjcczz Those mech suits and gloves that shoot lightning from season 1 were really close to the real world in terms of industrialisation...
Final Account That's why I and they said relatively as bending and other things have changed their industrial revolution. They now have radios, cars, things like that. Also the lightning glove is similar to a taser a point they made early on.
And as they mentioned in this episode the mechs are a more advanced version of the robots and exoskeletons we have been working on. Which they said was also a little disjointed as they have this technology from the 1920s and then mech suits that not even we have, but they can be excused due to the impact of things like bending effecting their industrial revolution.
TheJjcczz But the giant mech is different because... time...?
Shane: "Slit his throat!" 😂😂
I really don't care for how Suyin is handled in these final few episodes. Especially the Baatr/Kuvira stuff.
Kuvira's argument is revisionis history. Aang and Zuko did not create the Republic without consent of the former Earth King.
Well, Kuvira voiced her hatred of the Earth Queen, publicly humiliated and dethroned Wu, and tried to have him kidnapped and/or executed. It's pretty clear Kuvira doesn't care about anything that Earth Kingdom royalty - or anyone else really - has to say. XD
Damn set up and surprise isn't as accepted as it used to be... Imagine if people watched the original Star Wars films with today's mindset. AT-AT's would be ridiculed and so would the force. They've been working on the giant mech since before they conquered Zaofu, plus the Earth Empire is extremely militaristic and driven by advancements in technology. We just didn't see the process for the shock value. The literal same thing happened in ATLA. We had a pretty small blimp that was invented by Sokka and The Mechanic, which would be the equivalent to the mechs that were introduced in Book 1 of LOK invented by Hiroshi Sato. Then a main threat took that technology and advanced it to something beyond our world in the finale. We never saw the process of the Fire Nation extremely advancing Sokka and the Mechanics design to something of science fiction, but nobody questions it or has a problem. That was all done in the span of under a year. The double standards of the fandom make no sense to me.
true but you have to look at it from a realistic standpoint, we make giant blimps, hell we've had em years and years ago with less tech at our disposal so it's not unrealistic to believe that a civilization with bending could make something like it bigger and better. Plus a blimp just needs a solid support structure and a material to cover it to keep the air trapped inside. A giant 25 story robot though? most robots much smaller than that thing take years of RND, testing, prototyping retesting, teams of engineers the fact that this thing is bipedal and not on treads makes it even more unbelievable because it has to be able to balance itself or have enough weight distribution to keep balance regardless of it having a giant rail gun attached to its right arm which is unrealistic even by our standards. Even the drill isn't unrealistic because we make giant drills even before now
do i hate the robot thing no, do i think it breaks the immersion of the show to a certain point yes
Ralith Breaking the immersion of the show is understandable, but the point that was made here was about how fast it was created and the process of it's creation.
the amount of time development would take to get even a working prototype of something of that scale would take years and not 1 or 2 more like 10-15 maybe with just our level of technology and even then it probably wouldn't work. but they pulled that off within 2 years when their technology is not only inferior to ours but their computer tech is even more so since this thing would need computers for it to function at all. They are probably using something similar to mainframe computers but in order to even pull off something like that you need microprocessors, mainframes would be way too slow for the calculations it would have to constantly run just to keep the thing from falling over. If you take that into consideration then just making the computer tech to put in it would take 2-5 years not even considering programming testing and actual construction of the thing.
Even with bending this thing would take way too long to build for it to be functioning now.
Ralith Sci Fi Fantasy. Think Star Wars.
yeah but avatar has nothing close to the tech in star wars nor does it have any macguffins that makes the technology advanced enough to pull this off they just have bending which at most makes building things easier. Like using spirit energy to make a rail gun thats fine cause spirit energy is the macguffin that makes it work, but the robot itself doesn't have any macguffins like that explaining it. If they said spirit energy is powering that thing, which its been a while since i watched korra and i don't think the robot is, could be wrong, then it would be easier to accept
Kuvira has the same attitude toward the United Republic that the Earth Queen had - accused Aang & Zuko of stealing Earth Kingdom land but no one factors in the 1 fact that debunks them. The Earth King agreed to give the fire nation colonies in the Earth Kingdom their Independence from both Fire Nation and Earth Kingdom.
The Earth Queen factored it in, but since she already thought her father a weak man, she saw his support as nothing more than further evidence of his weakness and proof of their theft.
Well, Kuvira voiced her hatred of the Earth Queen, publicly humiliated and dethroned Wu, and tried to have him kidnapped and/or executed. It's pretty clear Kuvira doesn't care about anything that Earth Kingdom royalty - or anyone else really - has to say. XD
12:48
I was so disappointed no one said "you looked at me."
SO disappointed...
Please tell me I’m not the only who thinks the giant mech looks like Megatron.
Time for you all to start watching Megalo Box.
That .... was .... too short!!! I need more finale. haha
Sure there is a lot to be liked, not liked, and argued, but hell it is a finale :-D
Bumi was perfect for this mission because he’s retired military
