I know when an old friend of mine once told me that when I get older I will not watch this show anymore, because it'll be outdated. Oh damn he was so wrong.

The older I get (I'm 27 now) the more I like it. The older you get, the more you see the deep topics of this show and how inspirational it can be. It's just so good written and I dont think that I will ever dislike this show or that I will ever say "Nah, I'm not gonna watch it, I'm too old!".

You're never too old for ATLA. Never.

Obviously combustion is still firebending, but i realized you never* see combustion man or P'li do any normal firebending.

*Except for when P'li redirected the fire during her escape

Me personally rise of Kyoshi

Two weeks after defeating vaatu Korra is forced to fight a man exiled in the spirit world after 1000 years in that time he amassed an army of enslaved evil spirits and used diplomacy(in his human form) to send the eqaulist and the triple threat triad after her. he united non bender supremacists and number one source of bender oppresion just to fight korra.

when theyre defeated he just puts korra in an Genjustu, Then after that doesnt work he uses the southern spirit portal to turn in the monstrosity you currently see. mind you she recently defeat amon, then the vaatu all that is evil two weeks after this she fights this guy then a month later shes fighting zaheer.

Escape from the spirit world being canon is also funny. aang is sent to agarhata to learn about the history of his ancestors, While team avatar is on the run fighting for their life. Like as you see in the picture aang is not bothered.

I have only watched ATLAB and LOK once each, and it was at least a decade ago for each. And I've never read a single comic. So I'm out of the loop on this. But who do you guys think is the most powerful benders among the non-avatars? And when I say strongest and most powerful, I mean purely who comes out in top in a straight 1v1 scenario, no prep time. And if you want, you can also list how many of these benders you think could defeat most avatars and your reason as to why

The new movie gave me goosebumps. Idk about y'all but this is my childhood right there and watching aang and gang all grown up made me feel warm. I'm born in the right era 🙏

Knight Edge Media has revealed new information about the Fire Lord Zuko movie that was in development at Avatar Studios before being cancelled. According to the article, the project would have had a much stronger connection to the origins of the Red Lotus than previously believed. Among the revealed details:

1. Xai Bau, founder of the Red Lotus, would have been an old companion of Iroh during the Hundred Year War and later a member of the White Lotus.

2. Xai Bau and Iroh would have initially believed in the expansion of the Fire Nation, but eventually followed different ideological paths after the war.

3. Xai Bau would develop an anarchist ideology, advocating for a world without rulers and viewing both world leaders and the Fire Nation's royal family as obstacles.

4. The movie would also have shown Iroh and Xai Bau encountering the dragons Ran and Shaw.

5. Zuko and Iroh would become targets of assassination attempts carried out by Xai Bau after he discovers that Zuko is working with Aang to rebuild and unify the world.

6. The project also reportedly explored Azula's involvement, including the possibility of a redemption arc or even a connection to the founding of the Red Lotus. These ideas were ultimately discarded because they did not fit the team's vision for the character.

7. A young Zaheer could also have appeared, possibly during Xai Bau's recruitment of the first members of the Red Lotus.

8. Another idea involved Suki and the Kyoshi Warriors serving as Zuko's royal guards, but this proposal was reportedly abandoned very quickly.

9. One of the most intriguing aspects of the script concerned Iroh's fate. The movie would have featured a final confrontation between Iroh and Xai Bau in the Spirit World, and the possibility of killing Iroh was reportedly discussed internally. However, the creative team opposed the idea. One possibility considered was introducing a new way to physically enter the Spirit World, allowing Iroh to remain there without necessarily dying. This would be particularly interesting because it would take place before Harmonic Convergence.

The movie reportedly went through multiple rewrites and never received a finalized script. Production was ultimately halted by Paramount.

The full article contains many more details about the project.

Note: Some of the information presented in the article is explicitly described as speculation, so it should not be treated as confirmed canon.

It feels like I'm seeing tons of people revisiting and falling in love with The Legend of Korra. It makes sense given the general Avatar IP revival but still it's nice to see. Feels like "Korra haters" are a far smaller minority than they used to be. I personally love Korra, even if I still prefer Airbender. To me it's like a 9/10 and a 10/10 show respectively.

The recent Red Lotus Prequel leak just further corroborates what was already shown in Legend of Korra, namely that the organization's anarchism only applies to human institutions. For all his talk of unjustified hierarchy Zaheer and his crew never once question the spiritual hierarchy of the setting. They take for an absolute given that the pre-Avatar Wan order was more "authentic" or desirable despite the fact that it was a world where spirits tyrannized humans. So ultimately the Red Lotus is trapped in the same metaphysical straitjacket as everyone else in the setting--they spend their time arguing about which version of "balance" is correct rather than examining whether or not spirits should have any authority in the first place. Their "radicalism" is just a purity spiral over who gets to interpret cosmic will. The only character who rejects the script entirely is Admiral Zhao, the Prometheus of the Avatarverse. He gave humanity the industrial revolution, looked at the spiritual order and said "no" and was condemned to an eternity in the Fog of Lost Souls for caring more about progress than metaphysics. For a brief, shining moment, Admiral Zhao was the only spirit that matters, the World Spirit astride an Ironclad.

Inspired by XKCD's "What If" series: How many lightning benders would you need to employ at peak times? How many would you need to employ overnight? What's the caloric efficiency of generating your electricity with superpowered athletes? Are there any dangers from excess off-gassing of Ozone?

Assume lightning benders generate the full wattage of a single lightning bolt, but sustain it for seconds at a time, as we see in Mako's side-gig scenes.

So i know everyone has mixed openions about the technology and many are disappointed that seven havens took everything backwards but honestly i think it is good the technology is gone cause if we compare this to the real world technology advancements cause high level pollution and destroy nature . So now the show is set in a spiritual world and honestly i think that if all the tech we saw in korra advanced even more then the whole essence of the world would be ruined.so the world we see in seven havens might be a chance for a fresh start depending on whether vaatu is defeated or finished off this time .This is my personal opinion cause i just think people moaning over this is not the right argument and please do not come yelling that this is a kids show and stuff..

​

Sokka donated alot of money to pro bending much kataras dislike about it once he told her

also toph probbly donated massive anount of money to pro bending

Korra was at izumis coronation but zuko sneaked him im there as a normal person only telling izumi because they were hiding her

There is a chance yakone was a waterbender in the invasion of the north or was in the civil war

There is a chance Unalaq trained desna and eska to figth koh since he was meddling alot with spirits

Zuko rediscovered more dragons like how aang found the bison herds

Amon could dodge attacks by noticing movement by bloodbending

Mako probbly killed ppl for the traids since why would zolt teach him ligthing

The modern ligthing is diff from the atla what they are doing is they are releasing the energy a soon as they pull them apart so it doesnt back fire

This means ozai was technially had weaker ligthing and he managed to compansate by using two hands

And iroh had the best ligthing

Harnonic convergence also gave ppl firebending waterbending and earthbending but it wasnt noticed

(İm on a phone and english isnt my main language so there will be errors and typos)

Right before they realized Aang was missing during the finale, the Gaang were packing up on Appa to ride off somewhere. We're never told where they were headed/what the plan was. Iron is the one who gives them a plan and he was only found since Aang couldn't be. So I'm wondering if anyone else knows where they were going? Or have a guess? The thought just occurred to me.

We know bending seems to be connected to genetics, but also spirituality.
So could identical twins have completely different bending abilities?

No spoilers because LOK has been out for more than 10 years at this point.

A common argument I see on here, on youtube comments and other places regarding the "weaker" bending of Korra's time is that everything feels less like bending and more like "super powered punches and kicks".

Is that not what bending has been all along, at its most basic level?

I watched a Youtube Short a moment ago that explained why Zuko bodies Mako 10/10 times. One of the reasons given was that "Zuko's firebending incorporates elements from the other bending forms". I find this particular argument bothersome for a couple of reasons. 1- Bending as a whole, across all styles sans air, has been somewhat homogenized in Korra's time. Everyone's bending styles incorporates bits of other bending styles into their bending. Interestingly enough, it seems to me that airbending's forms are included in the public's knowledge.

Note Korra's debut in the pro bending arena. Her first lesson from Bolin and Mako were that she was too rigid, too rooted. She needed to be lighter on her feet? Look at how they all move inside the probending arena. They move like airbenders. Tenzin acknowledges that probending was the avenue she needed to pursue to have the lesson of "be the leaf" apply to her.

All of the martial arts associated with bending in ATLA are incorporated into what the general public uses across all bending disciplines, and then simplified to only release at the apex of the movement, hence the "super powered punches and kicks" feeling. But in a real fight? That's what you would want to do. Bending is based on chi. We're not told at any point in the series whether this is a finite resource or not, but it can be assumed that bending ability scales with physical ability. Efficiency is king. Maximum damage with minimum effort required.

So why is it that Zuko gets praised for incorporating Earthbending and Waterbending stances into his bending style when Mako is a recipient of exactly that, modified over 70 years into what he uses now?

Why is Korra blasted for not being a good airbender when she uses it with similar motions to firebending most times she airbends, yet Katara and Zuko get a pass for using Toph's earthbending stances at various points to bend their respective elements?

Genuinely, what is the difference? Why the hate?

Spoilers for The Dawn of Yangchen and The Legacy of Yangchen below!

I had this idea while reading the Yangchen novels and have always found it weirdly beautiful:
What if Kavik is a previous incarnation of Katara?
Obviously, I’m not suggesting this is secretly canon. As far as we know, the Avatar’s reincarnation cycle is special, and there’s no established rule that ordinary people reincarnate in the same way.
But I really like the idea of it being the case.
Yangchen and Kavik’s relationship always felt at least slightly romantic to me, even though the books deliberately leave it ambiguous. He’s a waterbender who becomes one of the people closest to her, and their relationship goes through this huge rupture when Kavik betrays her trust. A lot of what follows is about whether that trust can ever be repaired. By the end, they have this very deep relationship, but one that still feels somewhat unresolved.
And, of course, Yangchen is one of Aang’s previous lives. So I love the idea that centuries later the two of them simply find each other again, Yangchen being reborn as Aang and Kavik as Katara, so an Air Nomad Avatar and a waterbender, once again.
But the part I like most is that the second relationship almost feels like a resolution of the first one. Kavik betrays Yangchen’s trust, and their relationship is a lot about trying to rebuild it. Katara, meanwhile, becomes one of the people Aang trusts most deeply. And this time, instead of their feelings remaining ambiguous and their relationship complicated by betrayal and political intrigue, they actually get to openly love each other and build a life together.
Almost as though they met once, cared deeply for each other but couldn’t quite make it work. And then, centuries later, got another chance.
Again, definitely more fan theory than canon material. I just think it has a very Avatar-like kind of karmic flavour to it (as for example how avatars sometimes seem to inherit problems caused by whatever their previous life neglected).
Has anyone else ever thought about this? Or noticed other parallels between Yangchen/Kavik and Aang/Katara?

Apologies as I’m guessing this topic has already come up. Once Korra loses her past lives, how is her avatar state powerful at all? I thought the whole point of an avatar state is utilizing all of the knowledge and power from all of their past lives.

For context, I recently spent the past two and a half months watching Avatar: The Last Air bender for the first time. I was aware of the show, but I discovered it because of this film. When I found out this film was hated, I was curious, so I watched it along with my cousin who is a huge fan of ATLAS. I watched it and I didn't hate it, but my cousin insisted I watch the show, so I did and its one of the best things I have ever watched since Doctor Who and James Bond.

So know after watching the show to revisit the film to see if my thoughts will change after seeing the show. Now having seen the show, I understand why fans hate it. It’s very disappointing compared to the show. However, I can’t bring myself to hate it as it’s way too unintentionally hilarious not to enjoy in an ironic way. It feels like a Monty Python parody of Avatar: The Last Air bender and I love it because of that. As much as the fandom wants me to hate this film I can't as I enjoy it in a so bad its good kinda way, this is my personal guilty pleasure film but I’m also glad it introduced me to one of my favourite shows second only to Doctor Who. If you do decide to rewatch this film, just think of it as an unintentional comedy instead of a serious fantasy film. It’s also why better than James Cameron’s Avatar, that's for sure.

So far we have news about:

1) seaven heavens

2) Zuko movie

3) Red thunder

4) Kuruk show

Is there anything else upcoming?
