@The_RadicalDino that's more like you have this stereotype on how orientalism should look like
when even China was over this stereotype in the early 20th century

@ElYisusH There won't any effort, the whimsical and fey like nature of the spirit world was largely ignored to serve a Good vs Evil story which is incredibly western centric.
English
The western mind can only imagine a western centric modernity. All the Orientalism tropes stops immediately alongside the world became the mono culture of America.
They way Republic City = New York is really telling honestly. The yt writers took the laziest and easiest way out.

@StayDrunkI huh? since when was ATLA based on medieval times? they were based on the late 19th century, the fuck are you talking about?
English
Authors need to stop being cowards
You want to make a sequel to a medieval fantasy world with modern tech and how magic would affect it?
Fuck you, set it 500 years after the original story. Dont be a bitch

THE TECHNOLOGY IN ATLA FELT MORE NATURAL BECAUSE IT INVOLVED THE BENDERS

i think calling Korra's technological development "rapid" is pretty nuts when ATLA had all of this going on

@wwmandalore @ani_meme25 did you ever watched the fight? Unalaq ran to the human world so he can have the advantage
English
@ElYisusH @ani_meme25 You do know that we see her earthbending while fighting him, right, as well as airbending and firebending? We also saw her clapping Vaatu before Unalaq intervened. And the Vatar state imparts the skills and experiences of all previous avatars. So Korra obviously should have won.
English
Random Avatar Korra fact: Did you know Korra was the only Avatar to ever fight a man who could kill a spirit? Normally spirits cannot be killed they can only be trapped. Yet Unalaq mastered dark water bending to the point where he destroyed Raava herself
He ended the entire Avatar cycle in one move and Korra still got up and defeated him after all of that. Tell me again why she is not the greatest Avatar???
English
@suls23 how about if Unalaq was a better person this wouldn't have happened
you act all-knowing because you knew the outcome
English
Because if she made better decisions. The fight wouldn’t have happened. The worst avatar in history, followed by that fggt Roku.

@Onye_Nnewi All this incidents could’ve been avoided if Unalaq wasn't a terrible person

@wwmandalore @ani_meme25 fire? in the pole at night?
earth? where's the earth? there's only ice
Avatar State? you mean the same ability Unavaatu had but stronger?
English
@ani_meme25 He had water, she had water AND fire, Earth, and air and was used to being in the Avatar state. And still lost handedly.
English
She didn’t defeat him. She actually got beat a 2nd time and got saved by Jenora releasing light. Her spirit was about to be destroyed too.
Season 1: lost to Amon-saved by aang
Season 2: lost to dark avatar-saved by Jenora
Season 3: lost to Zaheer-saved by airbenders
Season 4: she actually won
3/4 seasons she lost horribly and got saved by someone else.
English
@Ofcimcold @ani_meme25 or you know... the person who manipulated her?
English
@ani_meme25 Ohh sometimes I forget unalaq was her uncle but it was still on her for releasing Vatu
English
@Tosmot86 @ani_meme25 Koi fish had a physical body, that's why they were killed
similar to how Raava can die if the Avatar dies in AS
English
@ani_meme25 Didn't that one general kill the spirit fish in avatar last Airbender?
English
English
@JaysNftsArts @ani_meme25 @Lairdphoenix27 That wasn’t the problem… even if there was one, she wouldn’t have listened to it. She was a basic lesbian who wanted to fight everything with fury because was too cool to meditate.
Literally that’s the whole plot… not the villains but how we make her to meditate 1 sec.

@wwmandalore @GusRs26 @Carl_Nwakakwa what did you not understand? how do you think the Avatar keep reincarnation as a 4 elements bender?
English
English
This ain't no X-Men, bro.
Nobody in the ATLA world was born with the ability to just somehow make fire, water, earth, or air out of the palm of their hand without any explanation. That ability has to come from somewhere.
Because otherwise, nonbenders should not exist in ATLA.
AJ❤️🤍@AJ_psykos2
Remember how fire bending origin was you facing the dragons, they judge you for who you are, and decide whether to teach you or not? Bryke decided that such a mythical and tedious process, which would’ve taken thousands of years to spread, was too good, and reduced it to magic
English
@GusRs26 @Carl_Nwakakwa that's because air nomads were actually spiritual and connected with their lion turtle, they were even allowed to keep their bending in their shell
then those air nomads died and reincarnated into new airbenders
English
@Carl_Nwakakwa well, except, there were no non benders within air nomads couples
English
@LJS39124058 @Carl_Nwakakwa "It seemed the ability was born from generations of learning from the original benders."
your headcanon are not facts
English
@Carl_Nwakakwa It seemed the ability was born from generations of learning from the original benders.
It's a fantasy world, it doesn't have to make sense to reality in the same way Lion Turtles touching people does.
The only complaint is that it's a seemingly needless retcon to past lore.

@justgooseisfine @ArtTheGaleWind @viking_gumball i wish, if that were the case it would be 1.2 chapters per episode

Also, please note how Korra doesn't even "change" the origins of bending, it simply expands upon them and provides clarification.
"Before you had to learn from dragons!" and in the same episode Wan is LEARNING from dragons.
Jasmine('s boobs hurt)@Ranting_Trans
For the love of- The turts gave them the ability to bend, but not how to control it. All of the early "benders" suck ass with their bending because they have no training. You still have to study the dragons/bisons/moon/badger moles to learn how to really bend.
English
@Persichidna @Xenon09900 @TheNerdWASuit yes they have, but that doesn't affect who is a bender and who is not
English
@ElYisusH @Xenon09900 @TheNerdWASuit You DON'T think the different nations have different philosophies, values, and approaches?
You don't think that trickles down into each person within that culture?
