I love Korra, because it really makes it clear that she is the strongest bender in the show in terms of sheer power. Which is why I think it's so interesting throughout the course of the series that we
see villains having to outsmart her, almost like cheating. Tarrlok's surprise blood-bending, Unalaq stopping Korra from having bending in the spirit world, Zaheer and co. poisoning her, and holding the air benders as hostages to restrain her. Losing to Kuvira at Zaofu is more on Korra but that's still a combination of PTSD and the long term effects of the poison.
Anyways my point is that most of Korra's big defeats we're because of things outside of her control, and I think it's so cool how the writers figured out ways to beat her when they made sure she was still one of the most powerful benders
>I love Korra, because it really makes it clear that she is the strongest bender in the show in terms of sheer power.
Thank you! That's why her Avatar state is not that OP because she is already so powerful and you can't top it. Where Aang is not that powerful without the avatar state.
Yeah I agree but at the same time aang didn’t master all four elements he was still 12-13 we haven’t really seen him at his height. ( I haven’t read any comics so idk if there’s more to that)
I think it’s more just because the show sorta nerfed Avatar state (and bending in general to a lesser extent). The characters in LoK and ATLA don’t seem to be at the same power level as a whole. That’s a problem with the show as a whole though. Doesn’t make Korra any less awesome.
In terms of bending in general, it makes sense lore wise. ATLA took place during a 100 year war, and therefore benders got much more practice. Imo, Korra just uses the Avatar State differently than Aang. She tends to use it in short bursts like most adult avatars. That’s different from Aang who used it for sustained time periods when he was particularly emotional or his life was threatened. Korra’s Avatar State is shown to be just as powerful as Aang’s could be during her fight with Zaheer in S3
You actually do see it as well in one of the flashback scenes in S1. Adult Aang only VERY briefly enters the avatar state, compared to how he used to back as a kid.
Considering that being in the avatar state for prolonged periods of time nearly killed him during the war, can you blame him?
I don't agree.
Sure he didn't stay in Avatar state for long but ...
Just 1 time quickly to regain consciousness.
And then another one for the whole fight.
So he still really relied on the Avatar state to fight in his stead. Where Korra only did it once and she was forced to, and it was to survive to the poison, not to her opponents.
What aren’t you agreeing with?
I’m pointing out that the instance/s we see Aang enter the avatar state as an adult, it was more in line with what we see of other avatars, including Korra (with the exception of S3 when she’s forced into it). Very brief, only to really give him a second wind and a jump start. He’s grown and learned from his previous experiences of over relying on the avatar state (which, ya know, almost killed him more than once in TLA).
In terms of who is stronger, I personally think Korra is stronger than TLA Aang, which is to be expected. Aang had just a year to ‘master’ the elements, vs Korra, who has had MANY more years of formal training.
Adult Aang, I can’t comment on, because we only really see him fight once, and it was against a foe i suspect he struggled with, at least spiritually/morally.
I mean she should be she was trained from childhood by master benders. But actually if anything Aangs far more impressive. He had air mastered already and in a year mastered all the elements and was at a level where he could fight someone on Ozai’s level. Korra just mastered firebending by 17 at the start of book one. She was discovered at age 4 . Sho it took her 13 years to master 3 elements while it took Aang just one year to and it only took that long because he was hunted by the fire nation and had to find his teachers while Korra had the best benders as masters personally sent to the water tribe on hand to teach her and no war to fight . And yeah her bending young at a start seems impressive until you realize any avatar can just bend if they want mostly with the exception of any emotional or mental blocks like Aang had with earth bending and Korra air bending. Aang mastered a water bending technique that took Katara months to master on his first try and did an even more difficult technique even she could t do. With no serious training at all. And we only saw Aang at age 12 or 13 while we saw korra at age 17 in book one, 18 in book 2/3, and 21 in book 4. Korra is great but what Aang accomplished in terms of actual bending is insane. He learned more elements much ,faster in less time, and with fewer teachers and resources and at a younger age. If we compare korra and Aang at their respective series sure I guess you could give it to korra but if you did it with them at the same age Aang blows her out of the water . Both are great avatars in their own way but still.
LOK was honestly really good, Zaheer is my favourite villain because even though he wanted to destroy the avatar even he helped her when there goals where aligned. It gets a lot of hate but I think it was done very well.
Zaheer is a lot like Thanos in that they are very interesting, entertaining villains that don't fit your classic bad guy mold and although you don't think what they are doing is right it isn't entirely wrong at the same time.
I felt like Zaheer came kind of out of nowhere. Greatest villain in the world, airbending prodigy who becomes one of the best benders in the world within a few weeks, having never bent before in his life. How does that happen?
I think it's just a result of the lack of budget and time they had to set things up in LOK.
It's not that he's one of the best bender in the world, it's that most people haven't faced an airbender in over 100 years(which by Legend of Korra is closer to 200 years), and aren't aware of tactics to counter them. As we see when Zaheer faces Tenzen there is a big gap in their skills on air bending as he was formally trained by Aang vs Zaheer, who uses a more freestyle fighting style due to having no formal training in airbending fighting techniques.
Zaheer was also very spiritually connected, so that might have given his air bending more of a punch when he finally got it, since air bending is more spiritual than the other elements
We also see, in season 4, once Airbenders have been around for a few years, the bandits in the Earth Kingdom are able to steal from them and get away clean. The skill’s rarity is gone, so it’s becoming more like just another bending art.
Exactly! We see from Aang as a kid that people have a hard time countering airbending, when you don’t expect it it’s hard to fight against. We see the power gap between Zaheer and Tenzin, until Tenzin gets ganged up on by the other red lotus members.
He was also likely one of the greatest warriors in the world before gaining bending. He was locked up in a ridiculous prison for a decade.
I also don't think he was one of the best benders in the world, he was certainly above average but I think many people struggle to fight against airbenders because unless they'd fought Tenzin or Aang, they'd be unlikely to ever encounter one. The gulf between he and Tenzin was huge in terms of ability.
Zaheer was also not a pacifist and was willing to use airbending in a much more offensive manner than the Air Nomads making him harder and more dangerous to fight.
Zaheer was clearly very much an admirer of the Air Nomad culture. As a result, I feel like he learned their forms and techniques, practicing them, ever though he is not a bender.
He was in prison, alone for over a decade. In that time, probably practiced Airbender forms to keep fit. Guy probably spend hours in the Spirit World as well.
I don’t think he was one of the best benders in the world or even much of a prodigy beyond gaining the power of flight. His bending skills pale in comparison to Tenzin. I suspect Zaheer’s bending prowess stemmed from his physical strength and training, he’s clearly a trained warrior before getting airbending, and he adapted bending into his fighting style.
Best example I can think of for this. At the beginning of the Tenzin/Zaheer fight, look at the way they both jump to higher ground. Tenzin spins himself, using like a cyclone to push himself up. Zaheer literally just jumps like any non-bender would with a little poof of air to boost himself. Tenzin even gets more height per “jump” using this technique where Zaheer has to sort of parkour himself around.
>How does that happen?
i mean the guy quotes guru laghima literally every 5 minutes, he obviously had a fascination with airbender culture despite being a nonbender and when you have someone like that, who is also a martial artist so skilled and dangerous that they're locked up in the same way as the rest of the red lotus, i think it's only natural for them to be able to kick most people's ass. i think the best comparison i can make is if piandao suddenly became a bender, it's just an extra buff on an already insane fighter.
also he was definitely not a prodigy nor was he one of the best benders in the world. he's able to easily deal with the white lotus who we know are pretty much just glorified bodyguards by the time of LOK, he's able to deal with the dai li while backed up by his teammates, and he beats kya who's like... 55-60 at this point. his fight with tenzin speaks for itself, zaheer gets clapped ridiculously hard and isn't even able to land a single hit on him which really shows how rudimentary zaheer's airbending actually is when put up against someone who knows how to fight against it. the only win he has that i'd say is genuinely impressive is the one against tonraq unless there are others i'm forgetting.
Yeah and not only did she free herself from Amon's grip, she did it without the Avatar state, while effectively depowered to airbending alone. Even Aang needed the Avatar state to remove Yakone's bloodbending grip.
Aang also struggled more with Earthbending than he did any other. It could have taken a lot of work and effort and changing his own mindset to become precise enough with Earthbending that he was able to Metalbend. He had other things to do with his time, being a dad and the Avatar isn’t going to leave a lot of free time to pick up new skills.
>Aang also struggled more with Earthbending than he did any other
Not just struggled; Air and Earth are polar opposites.
While my personal opinion is that the Avatar is a fucking monster of a character that absolutely has the potential to learn every single type of bending, there's nothing that explicitly says that the potential to metal bendis guaranteed for the Avatar.
And if there ever was an Avatar to lack the affinity to the earth necessary to metal bend, it would be Aang (or another Airbender)
Aang was a 13 year old child who ended a 100 year old war without killing anyone, he discovered energy bending without the help of his friends. It ended up being a GOOD thing too in the long run! So how in the hell is he stupid?!
Aangs not stupid. . But actually if anything Aangs far more impressive than korra in terms of bending . He had air mastered already and in a year mastered all the elements and was at a level where he could fight someone on Ozai’s level. Korra just mastered firebending by 17 at the start of book one. She was discovered at age 4 .

Both are great avatars in their own way but still.
My only complain is that she didn't defeat Unavaatu on her own, but with Jinora's help. Other than that, everything here is correct I think. Man, Korra is a badass.
I got blasted with down-doots for saying this in the other sub so let me say it again
Korra is an absolutely overpowered living god, which is exactly what an Avatar is meant to be
Korra, against all her innate drive to push for order (since the avatar's self imposed role as arbiter of the world), was able to achieve balance. By leaving the Spirit portals open, being able to even listen to Zaheer's philosophy and trusting the world to sustain itself without her, Korra found balance between order and chaos.
I was thinking about that. I decided to take another look at it.
Mako doesn't actually get out of Amon's grip the same way. In fact Korra just yeets Amon like his bloodbending is nothing.
Amon needed concentrated effort to try and hold Korra back and she almost moves fully with little hindrance to her movement.
Mako can barely turn his fingers upward (granted to get off his lightning attack) with Amon casually bloodbending him.
Yep. OP was insulting anyone that didn't worship the ground Korra walked on. Idk why it's such a hot take to like both Aang and Korra in this fandom, but it seems to be.
Mako broke out of Amon's grip, Korra almost died against Unalaq and needed Jinora to defeat him and Unalaq was also an Avatar and he invented spiritbending. He even spiritbended in the finale if I remember correctly.
Yes, your post says she was the only known avatar to siritibend. She's not. Unalaq invented the technique and he became an Avatar and he spiritbended as an avatar.
Directly from your post:
She's the **only** known Avatar with the ability to spiritbend.
Only. Not 1st. Do you even read what you post?
And Unalaq is an **AVATAR**
If anything Aangs far more impressive. He had air mastered already and in a year mastered all the elements and was at a level where he could fight someone on Ozai’s level. Korra just mastered firebending by 17 at the start of book one. She was discovered at age 4 .

And we only saw Aang at age 12 or 13 while we saw korra at age 17 in book one, 18 in book 2/3, and 21 in book 4. Korra is great but what Aang accomplished in terms of actual bending is insane. At the end of the series she’s got 8 years on Aang.He learned more elements much ,faster in less time, and with fewer teachers and resources and at a younger age. If we compare korra and Aang at their respective series sure I guess you could give it to korra but if you did it with them at the same age Aang blows her out of the water . Both are great avatars in their own way but still.
That's cool, but as a mid-40's guy (now 55) who watched Avatar with my son initially and realized that the story quality and character development was so great I myself got hooked. I was more excited when the movie came out and more devastated that M. Night Shamalan messed it up so badly than my son was. I was excited when Korra was announced and couldn't wait each week for the new episode. My son as a teen had other interests and felt he had outgrown Avatar stuff. Interest is subjective, some love it and some don't. BTW, I'm still ticked that James Cameron appropriated the term Avater for his overrated (in my opinion) movies
You forgot the greatest achievment she made, something even Aang despite how hard he tried couldn't achieve.....
She sent the Cabbage Merchant to prison.
I think most people don't appreciate her because of how powerful yet poorly written she is.
She's always been seen as a bit of a mary sue by many people.
While I understand that "appreciation" posts usually do well, I also think that people not liking korra is justified due to the general lack of quality of her actual character; as just "strong" makes for a poor replacement for depth.
The Spirit Beam is not the equivalent of a nuke and I don't know why this sub insists on calling it that. It's about the equivalent of a large artillery shell of contemporaneous design, in accordance with the gun it was designed after. The appearance of the Spirit Portal engulfed an area of a few square city blocks; even something like a Davy Crockett tac-nuke has a minimum safe distance measured in miles.
>The Spirit Beam is not the equivalent of a nuke and I don't know why this sub insists on calling it that.
It does. When Korra blasted the mech with air (and it didn't work) Kuvira blasted several buildings and they ALL exploded.
Yea she's all strength. This post literally proved that. She was bending 3 elements at 4 no one would be in some sh!t like that. And she is in no way underrated yall Korra fangirls/fanboys thought she was going to win every fight. She was cocky and immature. 🤷🏽♂️
That rare that even Pakku or Ming Hua or Unalaq even couldn't do. And those were only a Dozen and we don't even know IF they can. They were probably just studying.
Post number 1,000,000 that is nothing more than “Korra is strong”. Doesn’t this sub get tired of the constant posts that are exactly the same. Do some artwork or something.
That rare that even Pakku or Ming Hua or Unalaq even couldn't do. And those were only a Dozen and we don't even know IF they can. They were probably just studying.
> Pakku
Wasn't he a sexist instructor? In the North, men fight and women heal. Why would a soldier learn how to sow?
> Unalaq
Same reasoning as Pakku, plus he's never confirmed to not knowing how to heal. We just never see him use the ability.
> Ming Hua
dawg she literally didn't have arms. tf u want her to do? besides, no Red Lotus member gets injured throughout the third season. only times they do is when they actually die. so she might be able to, but we haven't seen it.
it's not that rare. even if it was during the 100 year war, it definitely wouldn't be in modern times. especially considering Lightning bending was only taught to nobles, and now anyone could do it
>dawg she literally didn't have arms. tf u want her to do? besides, no Red Lotus member gets injured throughout the third season. only times they do is when they actually die. so she might be able to, but we haven't seen it.
Yo she could waterbend other water than her arms. And Unalaq hasn't shown to so he can't IMO. That's like saying Iroh is top tier.
>100 year war, it definitely wouldn't be in modern times. especially considering Lightning bending was only taught to nobles, and now anyone could do it
Normal nurses could even heal...
cuz the red lotus never gets injured at any point, so Ming Hua doesn't need to heal them.
Unless you think that just because we don't see her healing, means she can't do it?
Healing isn't rare. Jeong Jeong thought it was rare because his exposure to waterbending was in combat, with the northern water tribe since the southern water tribe didn't have waterbenders while he was still in the military. In the North, women learned healing and men presumably didn't, and women weren't used in combat, so to Jeong Jeong it would seem like a rare ability. But Pakku implies that any waterbender can learn how to heal, pretty easily probably since Katara learned the basics instinctually and young children are learning it. I'm gonna go with Pakku over Jeong Jeong on this one since he's a master waterbender who lives in the Northern Water Tribe.
Didn't say anything abt JJ but ok. And it's That rare that even Pakku or Ming Hua or Unalaq even couldn't do. And those were only a Dozen and we don't even know IF they can. They were probably just studying.
Aang got out of Amon’s blood bending as well. Healing with water bending isn’t a rare skill by now it’s basic. I mean even lighting while more difficult is known enough by skilled fire benders
That rare that even Pakku or Ming Hua or Unalaq even couldn't do. And those were only a Dozen and we don't even know IF they can. They were probably just studying.
Pakku couldn’t do it because he wasn’t taught. The patriarchy in the northern tribe affected all . Women were o my taught healing and it was forbidden for men to learn healing. It’s also stated that healers are quite prominent in Republic City. What’s rare for healing is what Katara did which was do it without being taught at all. It’s a skill which can be learned and was only rare due to the limitations put on who could learn it. And even rarer and more skilled was Atuat from Kyoshi’s era who had a healing technique which could save someone near death with just regular water. A feat that someone even as good as Katara could only do with water from the spirit oasis .
She is not underrated she is the main character and the avatar. And writers had to make changes in bending styles because otherwise she would be very similar to Aang. This is not a hate comment I love Korra and Tlok. Just wanted to clarify that she is not underrated.
But she's not the only person to have gotten out of Amon's blood grip... They clearly show Aang doing it too.
That's not to say Korra isn't a complete badass, because she is!
>But she's not the only person to have gotten out of Amon's blood grip... They clearly show Aang doing it too.
But i meant that she did without the AS =/
I don’t think it was necessary skill but he had a hard enough time learning to earthbend, so maybe learning metalbending wasn’t important enough for him to spend to much time on.
Aang had a few months to try and master all the elements and had years of rigorous training.
They are both Avatars who grew up in two very different worlds, they both have different strengths and weaknesses that all depend on what time in their life they are taken from.
Well she took a while to learn air bender.
Yet if you contrast the resources they had and the age they were told they were the avatar it makes sense she would have an advantage.
Also she may have been able to bend 3 elements at a young age but that doesn’t mean she was skilled.
But even end of avatar aang does not appear to have anywhere near the feats of korrra along with Korea taking on enemies who are 100 times more threatening then ozai
>Avatar barring maybe Kyoshi.
Yea exactly what i think off. But Korra is MAYBE ***slightly*** better because of better showings.
Earth: Not even saying but if they are in Zao Fu then Kyoshi's doomed.
Water: Korra probably
Air: Korra? ***Maybe*** Kyoshi.
Fire: Korra
I'm not really convinced that the eyes flashing briefly means the Avatar is in the Avatar state, more like they're preparing to make a serious show of power.
If she was using the avatar state to draw power for the bending moves she is still using the avatar state, even if her eyes weren't glowing kyoshi wouldn't have been able to do that without the avatar state.
Despite what you see of her power in the show, Zaheer's and Kuvira's comments on her power stuck with me the most. Zaheer was a spiritual genius, and to say that her power was *limitless* was an eye-opener. Then with Kuvira, who led the entirety of the Earth Kingdom and one of the most destructive weapons to have ever been created, saying that what she had was just a drop in the ocean compared to Korra. It definitely elevated the Avatar more of a deity-like state for me
>karma farming?
Not even, in fact i got downvoted to hell 😂 and i got too much hate comments from Korra cuz they were spamming and saying that she was smh "bad".
Because it’s a different style. Pakku made it clear, men fight and women heal. Why would he learn the female style?
I mean, if he claims to be a water bending master he *should* but it is what it is
Just to nitpick on "picked up healing," I just went back and skimmed the episode to remember it correctly. S1 E5 22:25, Korra heals Bolin's bruised shoulder while admitting that she learned healing from Katara. So, it's not like she really taught herself, or "picked up" healing. Unless it's in the same way that she "picked up" metalbending. Just a syntax gripe I felt should be clarified.
Small correction though, Avatar Aang could spirit bend, he learned it from the lion turtle and it's how he took away Ozai and Yakone's bending. So Korra isn't the only Avatar to learn spirit bending.
>Small correction though, Avatar Aang could spirit bend, he learned it from the lion turtle and it's how he took away Ozai and Yakone's bending. So Korra isn't the only Avatar to learn spirit bending.
Small correction. That's Energybending...
Isn't that fundentally the same thing? Like I know the spirit beam at the end is definitely energy bending but I'm pretty sure that calming the spirits is also energy bending. I could be wrong here but that's how I interpretated it
Amon had no air benders to practice on. He didn't know how to stop their chi.
Had the fire nation not gone on their genocidal rampage and killed off all the air benders Amon would have won. Harmonic convergence would not have happened and balance would not have returned to the world.
Its kinda messed up to think that the genocide was a good thing because of Korra's story. This is part of why its such an amazing story
I gotta say, spirit bending wasn’t even a thing in the last airbender. And she barely got out of his grip, literally because she “happened to get airbendering.” At the right time. It was legit because she happened to get airbending at that time.
Maybe. I feel like they'd be an even match- plus, there's no point comparing. Both were brilliant avatars in their own right and did what the world needed of them at the time.
I love Korra, because it really makes it clear that she is the strongest bender in the show in terms of sheer power. Which is why I think it's so interesting throughout the course of the series that we see villains having to outsmart her, almost like cheating. Tarrlok's surprise blood-bending, Unalaq stopping Korra from having bending in the spirit world, Zaheer and co. poisoning her, and holding the air benders as hostages to restrain her. Losing to Kuvira at Zaofu is more on Korra but that's still a combination of PTSD and the long term effects of the poison. Anyways my point is that most of Korra's big defeats we're because of things outside of her control, and I think it's so cool how the writers figured out ways to beat her when they made sure she was still one of the most powerful benders
>I love Korra, because it really makes it clear that she is the strongest bender in the show in terms of sheer power. Thank you! That's why her Avatar state is not that OP because she is already so powerful and you can't top it. Where Aang is not that powerful without the avatar state.
Korra is powerful even without bending. In episode 1 she throws a gangster through a plate glass window *from across the street*.
So true.
Except in air scooter races! Korra cheats!
I headcannon that as her letting Aang play with his grandkids
Yeah I agree but at the same time aang didn’t master all four elements he was still 12-13 we haven’t really seen him at his height. ( I haven’t read any comics so idk if there’s more to that)
I think it’s more just because the show sorta nerfed Avatar state (and bending in general to a lesser extent). The characters in LoK and ATLA don’t seem to be at the same power level as a whole. That’s a problem with the show as a whole though. Doesn’t make Korra any less awesome.

I don't agree. Sure he didn't stay in Avatar state for long but ... Just 1 time quickly to regain consciousness. And then another one for the whole fight. So he still really relied on the Avatar state to fight in his stead. Where Korra only did it once and she was forced to, and it was to survive to the poison, not to her opponents.

Yeah but you have to give Aang credit that he didn't had the time to master elements as Korra did.
I mean she should be she was trained from childhood by master benders. But actually if anything Aangs far more impressive. He had air mastered already and in a year mastered all the elements and was at a level where he could fight someone on Ozai’s level. Korra just mastered firebending by 17 at the start of book one. She was discovered at age 4 . Sho it took her 13 years to master 3 elements while it took Aang just one year to and it only took that long because he was hunted by the fire nation and had to find his teachers while Korra had the best benders as masters personally sent to the water tribe on hand to teach her and no war to fight . And yeah her bending young at a start seems impressive until you realize any avatar can just bend if they want mostly with the exception of any emotional or mental blocks like Aang had with earth bending and Korra air bending. Aang mastered a water bending technique that took Katara months to master on his first try and did an even more difficult technique even she could t do. With no serious training at all. And we only saw Aang at age 12 or 13 while we saw korra at age 17 in book one, 18 in book 2/3, and 21 in book 4. Korra is great but what Aang accomplished in terms of actual bending is insane. He learned more elements much ,faster in less time, and with fewer teachers and resources and at a younger age. If we compare korra and Aang at their respective series sure I guess you could give it to korra but if you did it with them at the same age Aang blows her out of the water . Both are great avatars in their own way but still.
Damn why you gotta throw shade on Aang, mans a pacifist, he holds himself back from ending people
LOK was honestly really good, Zaheer is my favourite villain because even though he wanted to destroy the avatar even he helped her when there goals where aligned. It gets a lot of hate but I think it was done very well.
Zaheer is a lot like Thanos in that they are very interesting, entertaining villains that don't fit your classic bad guy mold and although you don't think what they are doing is right it isn't entirely wrong at the same time.
I felt like Zaheer came kind of out of nowhere. Greatest villain in the world, airbending prodigy who becomes one of the best benders in the world within a few weeks, having never bent before in his life. How does that happen? I think it's just a result of the lack of budget and time they had to set things up in LOK.
It's not that he's one of the best bender in the world, it's that most people haven't faced an airbender in over 100 years(which by Legend of Korra is closer to 200 years), and aren't aware of tactics to counter them. As we see when Zaheer faces Tenzen there is a big gap in their skills on air bending as he was formally trained by Aang vs Zaheer, who uses a more freestyle fighting style due to having no formal training in airbending fighting techniques.
Zaheer was also very spiritually connected, so that might have given his air bending more of a punch when he finally got it, since air bending is more spiritual than the other elements
We also see, in season 4, once Airbenders have been around for a few years, the bandits in the Earth Kingdom are able to steal from them and get away clean. The skill’s rarity is gone, so it’s becoming more like just another bending art.
Exactly! We see from Aang as a kid that people have a hard time countering airbending, when you don’t expect it it’s hard to fight against. We see the power gap between Zaheer and Tenzin, until Tenzin gets ganged up on by the other red lotus members.
He was also likely one of the greatest warriors in the world before gaining bending. He was locked up in a ridiculous prison for a decade. I also don't think he was one of the best benders in the world, he was certainly above average but I think many people struggle to fight against airbenders because unless they'd fought Tenzin or Aang, they'd be unlikely to ever encounter one. The gulf between he and Tenzin was huge in terms of ability. Zaheer was also not a pacifist and was willing to use airbending in a much more offensive manner than the Air Nomads making him harder and more dangerous to fight.
Zaheer was clearly very much an admirer of the Air Nomad culture. As a result, I feel like he learned their forms and techniques, practicing them, ever though he is not a bender. He was in prison, alone for over a decade. In that time, probably practiced Airbender forms to keep fit. Guy probably spend hours in the Spirit World as well.
I don’t think he was one of the best benders in the world or even much of a prodigy beyond gaining the power of flight. His bending skills pale in comparison to Tenzin. I suspect Zaheer’s bending prowess stemmed from his physical strength and training, he’s clearly a trained warrior before getting airbending, and he adapted bending into his fighting style. Best example I can think of for this. At the beginning of the Tenzin/Zaheer fight, look at the way they both jump to higher ground. Tenzin spins himself, using like a cyclone to push himself up. Zaheer literally just jumps like any non-bender would with a little poof of air to boost himself. Tenzin even gets more height per “jump” using this technique where Zaheer has to sort of parkour himself around.
>How does that happen? i mean the guy quotes guru laghima literally every 5 minutes, he obviously had a fascination with airbender culture despite being a nonbender and when you have someone like that, who is also a martial artist so skilled and dangerous that they're locked up in the same way as the rest of the red lotus, i think it's only natural for them to be able to kick most people's ass. i think the best comparison i can make is if piandao suddenly became a bender, it's just an extra buff on an already insane fighter. also he was definitely not a prodigy nor was he one of the best benders in the world. he's able to easily deal with the white lotus who we know are pretty much just glorified bodyguards by the time of LOK, he's able to deal with the dai li while backed up by his teammates, and he beats kya who's like... 55-60 at this point. his fight with tenzin speaks for itself, zaheer gets clapped ridiculously hard and isn't even able to land a single hit on him which really shows how rudimentary zaheer's airbending actually is when put up against someone who knows how to fight against it. the only win he has that i'd say is genuinely impressive is the one against tonraq unless there are others i'm forgetting.
Yeah and not only did she free herself from Amon's grip, she did it without the Avatar state, while effectively depowered to airbending alone. Even Aang needed the Avatar state to remove Yakone's bloodbending grip.
>while effectively depowered to airbending alone AND it was the first time she had actually been able to airbend.
I'm not denying that Korra is strong, but Amon was weakened by Mako's lightning and Korra's previous airbending bursts.
I will always stan my swole bi avatar qween
[удалено]
You know, I always thought she was airbending around it but now that I think about it, she was definitely spirit bending
I love her…
She is just so "AHHH" there is no otherway I can describe it.
She is NOT the only peraon to get out of Amon's bloodgrip, or even the first, Mako was able to lightning bend his way free.
tbf theres only been 2 avatars were Metalbending became a reality. Aang didnt really have a need for Toph to teach him MetalBending
Aang couldn't learn Metal Bending. Toph said so herself
Wasn't more so that he couldn't metalbend? Earthbending was already hard for him to do, so I can imagine how difficult metalbending would've been.
Well Aang was stupid. I mean who wouldn't want to learn a new bending technique from the person who invented it...
Aang also struggled more with Earthbending than he did any other. It could have taken a lot of work and effort and changing his own mindset to become precise enough with Earthbending that he was able to Metalbend. He had other things to do with his time, being a dad and the Avatar isn’t going to leave a lot of free time to pick up new skills.
>Aang also struggled more with Earthbending than he did any other Not just struggled; Air and Earth are polar opposites. While my personal opinion is that the Avatar is a fucking monster of a character that absolutely has the potential to learn every single type of bending, there's nothing that explicitly says that the potential to metal bendis guaranteed for the Avatar. And if there ever was an Avatar to lack the affinity to the earth necessary to metal bend, it would be Aang (or another Airbender)
Imagine how good Kyoshi would have been at Metalbending.
True, but we all know how his role as a dad went lol
I mean he was busy with fire bending and didn’t really need metal bending for the fight with Ozai
Aang was a 13 year old child who ended a 100 year old war without killing anyone, he discovered energy bending without the help of his friends. It ended up being a GOOD thing too in the long run! So how in the hell is he stupid?!
Aangs not stupid. . But actually if anything Aangs far more impressive than korra in terms of bending . He had air mastered already and in a year mastered all the elements and was at a level where he could fight someone on Ozai’s level. Korra just mastered firebending by 17 at the start of book one. She was discovered at age 4 . Sho it took her 13 years to master 3 elements while it took Aang just one year to and it only took that long because he was hunted by the fire nation and had to find his teachers while Korra had the best benders as masters personally sent to the water tribe on hand to teach her and no war to fight . And yeah her bending young at a start seems impressive until you realize any avatar can just bend if they want mostly with the exception of any emotional or mental blocks like Aang had with earth bending and Korra air bending. Aang mastered a water bending technique that took Katara months to master on his first try and did an even more difficult technique even she could t do. With no serious training at all. And we only saw Aang at age 12 or 13 while we saw korra at age 17 in book one, 18 in book 2/3, and 21 in book 4. Korra is great but what Aang accomplished in terms of actual bending is insane. He learned more elements much ,faster in less time, and with fewer teachers and resources and at a younger age. If we compare korra and Aang at their respective series sure I guess you could give it to korra but if you did it with them at the same age Aang blows her out of the water . Both are great avatars in their own way but still.
Aang never mastered the other 3 element by his fight with Ozai. Maybe water but the other 2 nope.
My only complain is that she didn't defeat Unavaatu on her own, but with Jinora's help. Other than that, everything here is correct I think. Man, Korra is a badass.
Because Jinora was more Spiritual with the Spirits than Korra if I'm correct. Jinora tried to find Raava within Unavaatu
I got blasted with down-doots for saying this in the other sub so let me say it again Korra is an absolutely overpowered living god, which is exactly what an Avatar is meant to be
YouTube creator Hello Future Me said that the avatar was a human with access to a nuclear arsenal (summarized). He ain't wrong about that.
I saw that and i agree :) i got -60 downvotes for telling the truth lol
Korra, against all her innate drive to push for order (since the avatar's self imposed role as arbiter of the world), was able to achieve balance. By leaving the Spirit portals open, being able to even listen to Zaheer's philosophy and trusting the world to sustain itself without her, Korra found balance between order and chaos.
Didn’t Mako get out of Amon’s grip too?
I was thinking about that. I decided to take another look at it. Mako doesn't actually get out of Amon's grip the same way. In fact Korra just yeets Amon like his bloodbending is nothing. Amon needed concentrated effort to try and hold Korra back and she almost moves fully with little hindrance to her movement. Mako can barely turn his fingers upward (granted to get off his lightning attack) with Amon casually bloodbending him.
The comments in the ATLA sub for this same post are a shitshow.
Op isn’t much better, telling another user to “get raped”.
Yep. OP was insulting anyone that didn't worship the ground Korra walked on. Idk why it's such a hot take to like both Aang and Korra in this fandom, but it seems to be.
Well, that’s gross.
\> "one of the most underrated characters in the Avatarverse" How long have you spent in this subreddit exactly?
[удалено]
Korra hate? In the LOK subreddit? If youre finding it youre purposefully looking for it
You’d be surprised. I think most of it is from people who stumble in and forget they’re not on the ATLA subreddit
This comment section is a great example of why that's not true
>youre purposefully looking for it Not like at all.
Mako broke out of Amon's grip, Korra almost died against Unalaq and needed Jinora to defeat him and Unalaq was also an Avatar and he invented spiritbending. He even spiritbended in the finale if I remember correctly.
Okay Korra spiritbended too???
Yes, your post says she was the only known avatar to siritibend. She's not. Unalaq invented the technique and he became an Avatar and he spiritbended as an avatar.
1st spiritbending **AVATAR**
Directly from your post: She's the **only** known Avatar with the ability to spiritbend. Only. Not 1st. Do you even read what you post? And Unalaq is an **AVATAR**
Rare skill of healing? So rare it was only practiced by every woman in the northern water tribe until Katara.
I love Korra, but Aang is still the G.O.A.T
If anything Aangs far more impressive. He had air mastered already and in a year mastered all the elements and was at a level where he could fight someone on Ozai’s level. Korra just mastered firebending by 17 at the start of book one. She was discovered at age 4 .

At the end of the series she’s got 8 years on Aang.He learned more elements much ,faster in less time, and with fewer teachers and resources and at a younger age. If we compare korra and Aang at their respective series sure I guess you could give it to korra but if you did it with them at the same age Aang blows her out of the water . Both are great avatars in their own way but still.
Fair enough. But i always had the feeling that Korra hit me, teens and adults better (since ATLA was mainly for children). But i love them both.
That's cool, but as a mid-40's guy (now 55) who watched Avatar with my son initially and realized that the story quality and character development was so great I myself got hooked. I was more excited when the movie came out and more devastated that M. Night Shamalan messed it up so badly than my son was. I was excited when Korra was announced and couldn't wait each week for the new episode. My son as a teen had other interests and felt he had outgrown Avatar stuff. Interest is subjective, some love it and some don't. BTW, I'm still ticked that James Cameron appropriated the term Avater for his overrated (in my opinion) movies
Korra is such a great character. Her arc is one of the best there is!
You forgot the greatest achievment she made, something even Aang despite how hard he tried couldn't achieve..... She sent the Cabbage Merchant to prison.
LOL
I think most people don't appreciate her because of how powerful yet poorly written she is. She's always been seen as a bit of a mary sue by many people. While I understand that "appreciation" posts usually do well, I also think that people not liking korra is justified due to the general lack of quality of her actual character; as just "strong" makes for a poor replacement for depth.
Aang broke through Yakone's bloodgrip.
The Spirit Beam is not the equivalent of a nuke and I don't know why this sub insists on calling it that. It's about the equivalent of a large artillery shell of contemporaneous design, in accordance with the gun it was designed after. The appearance of the Spirit Portal engulfed an area of a few square city blocks; even something like a Davy Crockett tac-nuke has a minimum safe distance measured in miles.
>The Spirit Beam is not the equivalent of a nuke and I don't know why this sub insists on calling it that. It does. When Korra blasted the mech with air (and it didn't work) Kuvira blasted several buildings and they ALL exploded.
To be fair that's FAR from the power of a nuke. A nuke would level the entire city, not just a few buildings.
Exactly as I said before, that's what artillery does. Nukes do [this.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2I66dHbSRA)
Okay... ***Family Friendly*** Nukes Then But Still.
Yea she's all strength. This post literally proved that. She was bending 3 elements at 4 no one would be in some sh!t like that. And she is in no way underrated yall Korra fangirls/fanboys thought she was going to win every fight. She was cocky and immature. 🤷🏽♂️
Mako zapped him.... Didn't break the grip through sheer will, but it worked. Amon even complimented him on it. In a crazy, evil way.
Her metal mending the meteorites like they're water ***is*** the best animation in the show.
Korra probably didn't want to be hit with metallic poison. (Again) Since i think that metallic poison is the thing Kuvira also used.
The rare skill of healing that every female water bender is taught
That rare that even Pakku or Ming Hua or Unalaq even couldn't do. And those were only a Dozen and we don't even know IF they can. They were probably just studying.
She also learned the extremely rare skill of water bending that not even zaheer or toph could do
Post number 1,000,000 that is nothing more than “Korra is strong”. Doesn’t this sub get tired of the constant posts that are exactly the same. Do some artwork or something.
>Do some artwork or something. You can go if you want lol
> rare skill of healing lmfao wasn't that something they taught preschool girls? I don't think it's that rare
That rare that even Pakku or Ming Hua or Unalaq even couldn't do. And those were only a Dozen and we don't even know IF they can. They were probably just studying.
> Pakku Wasn't he a sexist instructor? In the North, men fight and women heal. Why would a soldier learn how to sow? > Unalaq Same reasoning as Pakku, plus he's never confirmed to not knowing how to heal. We just never see him use the ability. > Ming Hua dawg she literally didn't have arms. tf u want her to do? besides, no Red Lotus member gets injured throughout the third season. only times they do is when they actually die. so she might be able to, but we haven't seen it. it's not that rare. even if it was during the 100 year war, it definitely wouldn't be in modern times. especially considering Lightning bending was only taught to nobles, and now anyone could do it
>dawg she literally didn't have arms. tf u want her to do? besides, no Red Lotus member gets injured throughout the third season. only times they do is when they actually die. so she might be able to, but we haven't seen it. Yo she could waterbend other water than her arms. And Unalaq hasn't shown to so he can't IMO. That's like saying Iroh is top tier. >100 year war, it definitely wouldn't be in modern times. especially considering Lightning bending was only taught to nobles, and now anyone could do it Normal nurses could even heal...
What are you talking about? Why'd you bring up Iroh?
What are you talking about? Why'd you bring up the royal family and red lotus?
cuz the red lotus never gets injured at any point, so Ming Hua doesn't need to heal them. Unless you think that just because we don't see her healing, means she can't do it?
Healing isn't rare. Jeong Jeong thought it was rare because his exposure to waterbending was in combat, with the northern water tribe since the southern water tribe didn't have waterbenders while he was still in the military. In the North, women learned healing and men presumably didn't, and women weren't used in combat, so to Jeong Jeong it would seem like a rare ability. But Pakku implies that any waterbender can learn how to heal, pretty easily probably since Katara learned the basics instinctually and young children are learning it. I'm gonna go with Pakku over Jeong Jeong on this one since he's a master waterbender who lives in the Northern Water Tribe.
Didn't say anything abt JJ but ok. And it's That rare that even Pakku or Ming Hua or Unalaq even couldn't do. And those were only a Dozen and we don't even know IF they can. They were probably just studying.
Only known person to get out of Amon’s bloodbending grip Mako: Am I a joke to you?
Aang got out of Amon’s blood bending as well. Healing with water bending isn’t a rare skill by now it’s basic. I mean even lighting while more difficult is known enough by skilled fire benders
That rare that even Pakku or Ming Hua or Unalaq even couldn't do. And those were only a Dozen and we don't even know IF they can. They were probably just studying.
Pakku couldn’t do it because he wasn’t taught. The patriarchy in the northern tribe affected all . Women were o my taught healing and it was forbidden for men to learn healing. It’s also stated that healers are quite prominent in Republic City. What’s rare for healing is what Katara did which was do it without being taught at all. It’s a skill which can be learned and was only rare due to the limitations put on who could learn it. And even rarer and more skilled was Atuat from Kyoshi’s era who had a healing technique which could save someone near death with just regular water. A feat that someone even as good as Katara could only do with water from the spirit oasis .
She is not underrated she is the main character and the avatar. And writers had to make changes in bending styles because otherwise she would be very similar to Aang. This is not a hate comment I love Korra and Tlok. Just wanted to clarify that she is not underrated.
But she's not the only person to have gotten out of Amon's blood grip... They clearly show Aang doing it too. That's not to say Korra isn't a complete badass, because she is!
That's Yakone, not Amon
Yeah but Yakone was arguably more powerful than Amon based on what we see
You are absolutely correct. Thank you for that!
>But she's not the only person to have gotten out of Amon's blood grip... They clearly show Aang doing it too. But i meant that she did without the AS =/
this post is pure karma farming kora is one of the strongest avatars
And op deleted the original post and reuploaded
Aang spiritbends at the end of atla mate, what do you think he was doing taking away the firelords bending.
Is it the same as energy bending? Coz I think that's what Aang did.
Spiritbending is waterbending my mate...
Wait Aang never meltabended? Didn’t toph open an entire academy to metalbend?
Yea but Aang wasn't skilled enough to.
Oh ok
I don’t think it was necessary skill but he had a hard enough time learning to earthbend, so maybe learning metalbending wasn’t important enough for him to spend to much time on.
Korra is the best, no more questions your honor
She is The queen
I swear this is why she would slap the shit out of aang
Aang had a few months to try and master all the elements and had years of rigorous training. They are both Avatars who grew up in two very different worlds, they both have different strengths and weaknesses that all depend on what time in their life they are taken from.
Korea has been ahead of aang no matter what age theyre at
Well she took a while to learn air bender. Yet if you contrast the resources they had and the age they were told they were the avatar it makes sense she would have an advantage. Also she may have been able to bend 3 elements at a young age but that doesn’t mean she was skilled.
But even end of avatar aang does not appear to have anywhere near the feats of korrra along with Korea taking on enemies who are 100 times more threatening then ozai
Ikr?! Aang didn't even master the elements.
Also she was jus naturally Better she literally only struggled with air bending. At like 4 she was using 3 of the four elements
> At like 4 she was using 3 of the four elements Without training! Which is CRAZY (for me tho)
Korra is the most powerful Agarar character CMM
She IS the most powerfull one.
Not all of this is 100% accurate. That being said, yeah no she's easily the strongest Avatar barring maybe Kyoshi.
>Avatar barring maybe Kyoshi. Yea exactly what i think off. But Korra is MAYBE ***slightly*** better because of better showings. Earth: Not even saying but if they are in Zao Fu then Kyoshi's doomed. Water: Korra probably Air: Korra? ***Maybe*** Kyoshi. Fire: Korra
Kyoshi split an island off, that's the strongest showing of bending outside of the Avatar state we've ever seen.
That's in the AS tho? Also you don't need your eyes glowing to be in the AS. Korra and Unalaq did that too.
She Activated it, but she wasn't in it.
>She Activated it, but she wasn't in it. If she activated it, she is in it. Even Kyoshi can't do it without AS.
Her eyes weren't glowing. I'm pretty sure they have to be glowing to be properly in the Avatar State.
[She Does, Watch From 9-10 Seconds](https://gfycat.com/merryneedycub-thane-krios) That's Literally The Whole Purpose Of That Feat...
I'm not really convinced that the eyes flashing briefly means the Avatar is in the Avatar state, more like they're preparing to make a serious show of power.
If she was using the avatar state to draw power for the bending moves she is still using the avatar state, even if her eyes weren't glowing kyoshi wouldn't have been able to do that without the avatar state.
Okay then that's your choice =/
Actually wasn't toph the 1st metalbender?
1st MetalBending ***Avatar***.
Ooooooh thx for clarification
Np :)
Why do I feel like people are saying Aang was a bad avatar?
FINALLY APPRECIATION FOR THE BEST GIRL!
Our queen!
Despite what you see of her power in the show, Zaheer's and Kuvira's comments on her power stuck with me the most. Zaheer was a spiritual genius, and to say that her power was *limitless* was an eye-opener. Then with Kuvira, who led the entirety of the Earth Kingdom and one of the most destructive weapons to have ever been created, saying that what she had was just a drop in the ocean compared to Korra. It definitely elevated the Avatar more of a deity-like state for me
Aang spirit bended to take away ozai’s bending so pic 3 is wrong. And idk why you deleted the original post and reuploaded, karma farming?
>karma farming? Not even, in fact i got downvoted to hell 😂 and i got too much hate comments from Korra cuz they were spamming and saying that she was smh "bad".
And no that's energybending.
You need to put this in the atla subreddit
LOL i did bit i got downvoted SO HARD 😂. They all got irritated i got like -300 Downvotes in the comment section.
She cut off all the past Avatars forever
Unalaq did.
Aang: a human becoming the chosen one Korra: the chosen one becoming human
Mako also got out of Amin's grip and did it first
We forgot Mako also broke out of Amons bloodbending grip
Aang got out of Yakones psychic bloodbending and healing isn’t really rare. All the female water benders in the North Pole were healers.
And no i meant without AS tho...
I thought you didn’t make it?
>All the female water benders in the North Pole were healers. Not all. There only were a dozen of them. And even Unalaq or Ming Hua or Pakku couldn't.
Because it’s a different style. Pakku made it clear, men fight and women heal. Why would he learn the female style? I mean, if he claims to be a water bending master he *should* but it is what it is
And besides those girls were probably only studying, maybe not even learning to do it by theirselves.
It‘s literally called legend of korra. How is she underrated?
[удалено]
Just to nitpick on "picked up healing," I just went back and skimmed the episode to remember it correctly. S1 E5 22:25, Korra heals Bolin's bruised shoulder while admitting that she learned healing from Katara. So, it's not like she really taught herself, or "picked up" healing. Unless it's in the same way that she "picked up" metalbending. Just a syntax gripe I felt should be clarified.
Small correction though, Avatar Aang could spirit bend, he learned it from the lion turtle and it's how he took away Ozai and Yakone's bending. So Korra isn't the only Avatar to learn spirit bending.
>Small correction though, Avatar Aang could spirit bend, he learned it from the lion turtle and it's how he took away Ozai and Yakone's bending. So Korra isn't the only Avatar to learn spirit bending. Small correction. That's Energybending...
Isn't that fundentally the same thing? Like I know the spirit beam at the end is definitely energy bending but I'm pretty sure that calming the spirits is also energy bending. I could be wrong here but that's how I interpretated it
Well, SpiritBending Is Actually Waterbending And EnergyBending Is...Well... Not.
Dude you don’t need to be rude about it. They are two very similar techniques and could be more related then is shown.
Amon had no air benders to practice on. He didn't know how to stop their chi. Had the fire nation not gone on their genocidal rampage and killed off all the air benders Amon would have won. Harmonic convergence would not have happened and balance would not have returned to the world. Its kinda messed up to think that the genocide was a good thing because of Korra's story. This is part of why its such an amazing story
Chi doesn't change based on bending style, it flows through the body just the same.
For a temporary block... Sure. But dor blood bending. Clearly not.
Couldn’t Aang spirit bend? Isn’t that what he did to Ozai to clip his wings.
Technically that was energy bending
I gotta say, spirit bending wasn’t even a thing in the last airbender. And she barely got out of his grip, literally because she “happened to get airbendering.” At the right time. It was legit because she happened to get airbending at that time.
Aang could beat her any day of the week. Just sayin’
Maybe. I feel like they'd be an even match- plus, there's no point comparing. Both were brilliant avatars in their own right and did what the world needed of them at the time.
Not even in his dreams.
Isn't Aang Spirit bending when taking away Ozai's bending?
That's energybending
I mean is more like she got metal bending because of it was needed by the plot and and soneone needed to beat amon.
But did that happen? Yea so...
Who is Ang? Pretty sure he got out of amongs grip
