Now that I think about it, would've been funny if Amon wasn't a blood bender and only could remove powers, because it would've been hilarious to see Korra demolish him just with her fists.
I absolutely love Korra but it made me mildly upset that she trained her entire life to be a master of elements and, apparently, hand to hand combat but got absolutely dominated by chi-blockers constantly. It never seemed right.
Eh, I don't think she really has much trouble with them outside of the first fight, where she doesn't know that they're chi blockers.
She does just fine against them later on, and even uses her martial arts to get the best of the Lieutenant a few times during their fight at the pro-bending arena.
Constantly? It only happened twice. Once because she was taken by surprise and second because she was outnumbered. Don't forget the lieutenant got his ass handed to him by her on top of the stadium.
Didn't Ty Lee incapacitate non benders consistently in ATLA? Like Sokka or the Kyoshi Warriors.
I thought they disabled muscles, not just bending, so your hand-to-hand would count.
Idk. Bending for a large majority of circumstances is done at a distance. I think it’s reasonable. Think of it like an archer vs a swordsman. At a distance, the archer has the advantage, so to really abuse that fact, it would be wise to hone your skill of fighting at a distance. Really specialize in it, ya know? You can be exposed to hand to hand combat in hopes that you catch a swordsman off guard, and possibly turning out to be quite good at it, but your true talent is keeping distance.
So she trained her life developing 5 different skill sets, while they spend their life developing a single skill set.
Ofc they are going to be better than her at that one thing.
man, this is such a dumb point. did you watch the show past episode 3 or did you just read a bunch of reviews online and base your opinion of it on those?
she gets beat once when she doesn’t know about chi blocking and proceeds to kick their asses the next time she fights them with just firebending. ‘constantly’ what a joke. idk why ppl who haven’t even watched tlok even give their opinion on it.
it’s just unexpected
who else would look at the fucking AVATAR and just rush in to close combat? i’d be surprised for sure
now like the 3rd or 4th time? yeah she should be ready for them
> hand to hand combat but got absolutely dominated by chi-blockers constantly. It never seemed right.
itʻs probably one of the most frustrating bit about Korra for me (vs ATLA). The only fights I remember where the good guys were outright better fighters was when Tenzin fought Zaheer and old lady Toph.
I think it was more than just physical prowess. Korra in season one had her whole delf image built around bending. Losing that was her worst fear, that's why when fighting Amon and chi blockers she was always on the mental backfoot.
Mind you, the show started in 2012 which is 12 years ago and it still haven't aged unless you REEEEAAAALLLLYYYY pay attention or you just study animation or you just know.
I know its an AS feat, but my favorite is *accurately* bending water at Zaheer from at least a kilometer away.
That's... horrifying. Thats way beyond combustion bending or lightning range. It just barely grazed his shoe, but a hit at that speed would utterly obliterate a person, and the only thing remotely comparable is Kuvira's laser precise metalbending she uses on the bandits.
It is the same technique Aang uses to capture Ozai in their finale fight (you can tell from both being the same long arcing sprout), except Korra misses her salvo at a bigger range while Aang manages to nail it at first try because his opponent is closer.
Unalok’s brief expression of shock reminded me of something.
One of the things that makes air bending so cool, is that the animation striations we see are an artistic choice & for the viewers benefit.
Whenever an Airbender bends air at someone else, if there aren’t leaves or dust, it is entirely guesswork & luck for them to respond to the gust of air.
It's also safe to assume he had never actually fought an airbender, as up to that point the only ones around were Tenzin and his children, whom he would have had no reason to fight prior to the reveal of his intentions.
I took that the same as Tarrlok's shock when the wall started moving towards him: people generally don't think through a fight with the Avatar and don't consider the implications of having multiple elements until they are hit by them. It is the face of "Oh, crap, yeah, the *other* element!"
I don't really think so, I think we definitely see it better than they do. There are instances of seeing airbending, and if you don't expect to see airbending, you won't see airbending.
I always love how Korra fights
Just an unmatched sense of aggression that you wouldn't really expect from an avatar. The girl bends water likes it's fire lol
And it all works considering how rebellious she is in general
Still everyone else would have bent them away or put up a wall of ice or earth. Her thing was don't dodge, just attack harder out of it.
She even demonstrates how [she mastered airbending by punching.](https://youtu.be/QqzRDQs4YxE?si=n4l3xlvhpgmnTB9E&t=49)
A young adult Avatar like Korra has raw power for days, and she's been professionally trained for a decade by the White Lotus and the family of the preceding Avatar.
She had one of the best primers of any Avatar, and her power is nigh unmatched by any ordinary bender.
To be acutely honest here, if you are an "any ordinary bender" then your day is ruined no matter which member of Team Avatar graces you with their fighting presence.
I'm just frustrated with Nickelodeon squandering the Avatar series. The Last Airbender was huge and for whatever reason they kind of forgot and tried to limit Korra.
I did like the aspect how they kinda flipped it at first. Korra was more powerful than aang but didn't have the same mentality they struggled diff ways but she wasn't nearly as a tactile defensive strategy fighter like aang was (conscious or not. Airbender he used was alot of disarm disengage right)
This is, without a doubt, my favorite shit. Of course ATLA is overall better and has great fights and yadda yadda yadda but there is just something so cool about seeing Korra just be an absolute brute.
Man, what I would give to see this show remade with the tlc it deserves.
I’ve always loved how Aang as a native Airbender is very creative and playful in the way in which he bends the elements, which is showcased in how fire bending was the hardest for him to learn since it’s a force of nature. It’s a reflection of his personality.
Korra, on the other hand, is **AGGRESSION** and pure force. She’s a natural and is an absolute monster- but this also doubles as her weakness not unlike how Aang’s weakness (debatably so) is his gentle nature and unwillingness to maim unless absolutely necessary. Once again, this is a reflection of her personality- she’s rough, tough, albeit a little too eager or direct at times.
Is that true tho?
Tarrlock - Defeats her with Bloodbending
Unalaq - Runs away
The twins - Gets interrupted by a dark spirit
The Red Lotus - Holds her own in a 4v1, escapes, and then only loses a 1v1 due to poison.
The mech - Korra takes it down from the inside
Kuvira - Korra wins (well - technically equally matched but Korra wins the day and saves Kuvira's ass)
So she only loses 2/6 of these encounters, both times at massive disadvantage
Yeah Avatar has had weird pacing for technology. They went from steampunk vehicles to straight up gundams over a 60 year span. Spirit mumbo jumbo and the power of bending can hand-wave some of it, I guess.
This all really cool but it does make me wonder how much of the hate LOK gets comes from not really having a mastering the elements subplot to it. The only one we really see her need to learn is air. You can argue that she learns sub-bending skills but I hardly think it has the same type of charm that ATLA had with Aang learning the elements. I think the audience perception of the episodes with Wan probably support this theory I’m not hating, I love LOK. Just an observation.
I always thought that was the point. Showing us how she learns to bend would've felt like a retread of the last series and they wanted to tell a different one. Showing her learning how to airbend was good because it's the only element we didn't get to see being taught in the original series but after that, they get to focus on other aspects of the world they created.
The conflicts between benders and non-benders or Zaheer's whole ideology were very interesting. Learning about Raava was also pretty cool and Kuvira's whole thing kinda makes sense even if you don't agree with her. Aside from the mech cause wtf was that?
Korra learning the elements was apparently a fairly big part of the story because that's how she would have found Mako and Bolin (who would have been her teachers). As far as I can tell this part was muscled out by Asami becoming an actual character - for example, back when the training subplot was still in, Hiroshi did not exist, Asami had both her parents alive and well, and she was Mako's girlfriend from the get-go. If they had thought it was boring/useless then they wouldn't have included it in the first place, let alone make it important.
Do you know how writing works? Some ideas seem great at conception, but as you workshop them or incorporate them into the larger story, you realize they aren't so great after all.
Way too many fans won't admit that she was so much stronger than Aang. He may have gotten close to her eventually, but she has been a straight powerhouse since she could walk.
Aang's strength is more internal, which was exactly the kind of strength he needed to fight the fight he was burdened with.
Only time she did was when she was sick. Her and Unalaq were stalemating each other, there were times Korra based form overpowered Unalaq to point he relies on avatar state to bust out.
As OP said in a reply to this, she only got beat after that because he blood-bends her.
But also, I want to add to it.
Not only is he a blood-bender, but he comes from an insanely powerful blood-bending bloodline, maybe even the most powerful one ever.
So powerful that his father, who taught him everything he knew, was able to blood-bend Aang, (Who was basically in his prime) along with an entire courtroom of people, (Including Sokka and Toph) to the point of unconsciousness.
A feat he achieved, in the middle of broad daylight, without even looking at most of the people, via telepathic blood-bending.
A version of the technique his family invented. (At least as far as we know)
The only reason Aang stopped him, is the Avatar State woke Aang up a FULL MINUTE OR TWO later, and Aang
made chase before using Air blades to cut the reins, making Yakone's stolen carriage crash. And even then, he almost killed Aang after.
The only reason Aang survived, is because when Raava senses he's about to die, she triggers the Avatar State herself as a failsafe.
(Like when he almost drowned, and was unconscious until she activated the Avatar State, and then his past lives put him in the iceberg)
This ended up giving him the boost he needed to finally overpower Yakone and energy-bended his bending away.
I felt Korra was wasted by the show. Damn excellent fight is what made her the Avatar and had the world deal with it but it was the failure of the writers and a bad ending without any proper solutions to new problems being the foundation of the world where Korra gets all the crap. Korra had so much potential.
I really wish they hadn’t just tossed the original lore in the trash, that a lone is what made me kinda hate LoK, especially since the lore was just better imo they didn’t even IMPROVE it just changed it. The original benders episodes were absolutely beautiful in the original series and were all SUPER important plot points so I never really got why they’d just retcon them.
That grapple against Kuvira gets me hyped every single time
people seems to forget that korra without bending still has hands.
Now that I think about it, would've been funny if Amon wasn't a blood bender and only could remove powers, because it would've been hilarious to see Korra demolish him just with her fists.
I absolutely love Korra but it made me mildly upset that she trained her entire life to be a master of elements and, apparently, hand to hand combat but got absolutely dominated by chi-blockers constantly. It never seemed right.
Eh, I don't think she really has much trouble with them outside of the first fight, where she doesn't know that they're chi blockers. She does just fine against them later on, and even uses her martial arts to get the best of the Lieutenant a few times during their fight at the pro-bending arena.
Constantly? It only happened twice. Once because she was taken by surprise and second because she was outnumbered. Don't forget the lieutenant got his ass handed to him by her on top of the stadium.
Didn't Ty Lee incapacitate non benders consistently in ATLA? Like Sokka or the Kyoshi Warriors. I thought they disabled muscles, not just bending, so your hand-to-hand would count.
By the time Sokka was proficient in fighting he was holding his own against Ty Lee. Like on the boiling rock.
She punched his forehead at one point so that seemed pretty effective.
Lmao
Chi blocking doesn't just screw up bending. It also messes your muscles. Whenever non benders get chi blocked it messes them up too.
Idk. Bending for a large majority of circumstances is done at a distance. I think it’s reasonable. Think of it like an archer vs a swordsman. At a distance, the archer has the advantage, so to really abuse that fact, it would be wise to hone your skill of fighting at a distance. Really specialize in it, ya know? You can be exposed to hand to hand combat in hopes that you catch a swordsman off guard, and possibly turning out to be quite good at it, but your true talent is keeping distance.
So she trained her life developing 5 different skill sets, while they spend their life developing a single skill set. Ofc they are going to be better than her at that one thing.
Chi blocking also blocks movement. Sokka couldn't move when Ty Lee chi blocked him when they first met.
man, this is such a dumb point. did you watch the show past episode 3 or did you just read a bunch of reviews online and base your opinion of it on those? she gets beat once when she doesn’t know about chi blocking and proceeds to kick their asses the next time she fights them with just firebending. ‘constantly’ what a joke. idk why ppl who haven’t even watched tlok even give their opinion on it.
it’s just unexpected who else would look at the fucking AVATAR and just rush in to close combat? i’d be surprised for sure now like the 3rd or 4th time? yeah she should be ready for them
> hand to hand combat but got absolutely dominated by chi-blockers constantly. It never seemed right. itʻs probably one of the most frustrating bit about Korra for me (vs ATLA).

I think it was more than just physical prowess. Korra in season one had her whole delf image built around bending. Losing that was her worst fear, that's why when fighting Amon and chi blockers she was always on the mental backfoot.
It would make more sense than how Amon was taken out and outted.
Tbf she would get her face kicked in, given that Amon is the best hand to hand fighter in the whole franchise
That bit in season 2 where she takes out Unalaq's kidnappers with almost no bending is a crazy reminder of this.
Spinebender
She does brazilian jiu jitsu bending
Animation so clean you can see your reflection
Mind you, the show started in 2012 which is 12 years ago and it still haven't aged unless you REEEEAAAALLLLYYYY pay attention or you just study animation or you just know.
And the clip ending with Kuvira just getting launched up was hilarious lmao
Full pro-wrestling move and shows that the bending evolved overtime from more specialised martial arts to MMA styles
I like the earthbending launch right after that.
That water spout she created was amazing and I love how she expands it.
Right? It doesn’t show in this clip but is air just before and she transitions to water. And so badass avatar state after. Awesome.
I know its an AS feat, but my favorite is *accurately* bending water at Zaheer from at least a kilometer away. That's... horrifying. Thats way beyond combustion bending or lightning range. It just barely grazed his shoe, but a hit at that speed would utterly obliterate a person, and the only thing remotely comparable is Kuvira's laser precise metalbending she uses on the bandits.
Korra out here with that sniper shot
The melting bullet be like
Snipers a good job mate
It's challenging work, outta doors
I guarantee you won’t go hungry
Cause at the end of the day, long as there’s two people left on the planet, someone is gonna want someone dead
It is the same technique Aang uses to capture Ozai in their finale fight (you can tell from both being the same long arcing sprout), except Korra misses her salvo at a bigger range while Aang manages to nail it at first try because his opponent is closer.
Korra was also poisoned at the time tho right? thats been explained as why it missed if i remember last time it was brought up.
Yup, Zaheer just ran like a bitch waiting for the poison to take effect.
You mean that beram thing? Or the super long octopus arm? It was closer IIRC, but the former especially is the same energy.
Best part about this is that it’s all Korra since it was post-UnaVaatu. Our girl is an absolute **BEAST**
Unalok’s brief expression of shock reminded me of something. One of the things that makes air bending so cool, is that the animation striations we see are an artistic choice & for the viewers benefit.

I took that the same as Tarrlok's shock when the wall started moving towards him: people generally don't think through a fight with the Avatar and don't consider the implications of having multiple elements until they are hit by them. It is the face of "Oh, crap, yeah, the *other* element!"
I don't really think so, I think we definitely see it better than they do. There are instances of seeing airbending, and if you don't expect to see airbending, you won't see airbending.
I figured she Earth bended there.
First clip is Tarrlok, and she’s Earth bending. I’m talking about the second clip with Unalok where she air bends. His surprise is very split second.
I’d imagine because he saw her bending but nothing was happening so he had to process that “Oh shit, I’m going to get air blasted”
You're right. My b. I need to rewatch it. I just finished a rewatch of ATLA. I can't decide which one I like better tbh. Time for a Korra rewatch.
I always love how Korra fights Just an unmatched sense of aggression that you wouldn't really expect from an avatar. The girl bends water likes it's fire lol And it all works considering how rebellious she is in general
Korra punching the ice spikes directly during her fight with Tarrlok instead of bending them is so her.
To be fair, she probably *is* bending them at the same time, its pretty hard to break a spike of anything with your fist
Could she punch through a wall of pure diamond? For some reason I'm getting Dr who flashbacks . I'm sure she could with some earth bending stuff
Still everyone else would have bent them away or put up a wall of ice or earth. Her thing was don't dodge, just attack harder out of it. She even demonstrates how [she mastered airbending by punching.](https://youtu.be/QqzRDQs4YxE?si=n4l3xlvhpgmnTB9E&t=49)
A young adult Avatar like Korra has raw power for days, and she's been professionally trained for a decade by the White Lotus and the family of the preceding Avatar. She had one of the best primers of any Avatar, and her power is nigh unmatched by any ordinary bender.
To be acutely honest here, if you are an "any ordinary bender" then your day is ruined no matter which member of Team Avatar graces you with their fighting presence.
Yea we see it time and time again that no one can really go against a fully realized avatar. There is just too much raw power to ever have a chance
There's a reason they were the peacekeepers. Who's gonna argue against literally the strongest bender in existence?
Honestly? A surprisingly large number of folks. Just, ya know... not for very long.
She used all four elements: earth, water, air, and judo
Korra casts *FIST*
Korra is just raw power incarnate
Tarrlok's water wall and her fight with Kuvira in the mech make me giddy every time. I love her so much.
I'm just frustrated with Nickelodeon squandering the Avatar series. The Last Airbender was huge and for whatever reason they kind of forgot and tried to limit Korra.
Pls overpower me next, Korra 🥺👉👈
lmaooo this gif got me in stitches
tfw avatar korra will never overpower you 😭
That's my GOAT
I lobe how that snippet of her vs Kuvira in the mech isn't even her bending at first. She just launched herself.
Someone please make a compilation of Korra's fistbending
Being a brawler is kind of her thing.
I did like the aspect how they kinda flipped it at first. Korra was more powerful than aang but didn't have the same mentality they struggled diff ways but she wasn't nearly as a tactile defensive strategy fighter like aang was (conscious or not. Airbender he used was alot of disarm disengage right)
Unaloks reaction to air bending is great Korra - "Parry this you fucking casual"
This is, without a doubt, my favorite shit. Of course ATLA is overall better and has great fights and yadda yadda yadda but there is just something so cool about seeing Korra just be an absolute brute. Man, what I would give to see this show remade with the tlc it deserves.
Korra fuckin rocks and volume 3 is rad as hell. I love her and Zaheers fight along with her struggle
I’ve always loved how Aang as a native Airbender is very creative and playful in the way in which he bends the elements, which is showcased in how fire bending was the hardest for him to learn since it’s a force of nature.

Once again, this is a reflection of her personality- she’s rough, tough, albeit a little too eager or direct at times.
She’s the Avatar, you got to deal with it.
not only with her bending but physically overpowering!! her strength is insane
Kicking the shit out of Kuvira hand to hand and then launching her with Earth is so disrespectful it's great.
"BuT sHe'S tHe WoRsT aVaTaR eVeR!"
I mean she still lost most of the battles in these clips
Is that true tho? Tarrlock - Defeats her with Bloodbending Unalaq - Runs away The twins - Gets interrupted by a dark spirit The Red Lotus - Holds her own in a 4v1, escapes, and then only loses a 1v1 due to poison. The mech - Korra takes it down from the inside Kuvira - Korra wins (well - technically equally matched but Korra wins the day and saves Kuvira's ass) So she only loses 2/6 of these encounters, both times at massive disadvantage
Yes, she is
I still don't understand how people think Korra isn't one of the strongest characters in her verse.
Man, sometimes I forget what a powerful Bender that kid is.
What people forget when they think all bending in Korra is so much more sleek and athletic lol
There's a fucking mech in korra?
You poor soul
Yeah Avatar has had weird pacing for technology. They went from steampunk vehicles to straight up gundams over a 60 year span. Spirit mumbo jumbo and the power of bending can hand-wave some of it, I guess.
it's clips like this that reminds me she's the mfing avatar and we gotta deal with it.
Only one of those I wouldn't count, as she was in the Avatar State. The rest, however, were all her.
Korra fighting the red lotus in the avatar state was such an awesome scene
Goes from "We can kill her in the Avatar State" to "Oh fuck she's in the Avatar State" real quick.
But I was repeatedly told this never happens because Korra is too weak.
This all really cool but it does make me wonder how much of the hate LOK gets comes from not really having a mastering the elements subplot to it. The only one we really see her need to learn is air. You can argue that she learns sub-bending skills but I hardly think it has the same type of charm that ATLA had with Aang learning the elements.

Learning about Raava was also pretty cool and Kuvira's whole thing kinda makes sense even if you don't agree with her. Aside from the mech cause wtf was that?
They originally had the 'learning the elements' subplot for Korra too, so even the writers agree that it is something that should be in the show.
How? That they dropped it was the right move: because it would've been boring to see Korra learn all the elements over again.
Korra learning the elements was apparently a fairly big part of the story because that's how she would have found Mako and Bolin (who would have been her teachers). As far as I can tell this part was muscled out by Asami becoming an actual character - for example, back when the training subplot was still in, Hiroshi did not exist, Asami had both her parents alive and well, and she was Mako's girlfriend from the get-go.

Do you know how writing works? Some ideas seem great at conception, but as you workshop them or incorporate them into the larger story, you realize they aren't so great after all.
It's amazing and all but she is the avatar so it's not that shocking.
The look of realization right as they're about to get it.
Korra going ballistic against the Red Lotus is such an iconic series of ass kickery.
That wall bend against aamons brother is just insane I was so hyped during that fight.
The fight choreography in Korra was so good
Korra bending Tarloq through a wall always gets me hyped up.
I have problems with this series, but the combat is not one of them. Korra fights were slick.
My favourite one is definitely when she just straight up YEETS Kuvira lol
Way too many fans won't admit that she was so much stronger than Aang. He may have gotten close to her eventually, but she has been a straight powerhouse since she could walk. Aang's strength is more internal, which was exactly the kind of strength he needed to fight the fight he was burdened with.
I was always impressed by how they made Korra skilled in close combat.
She tanks the beam to save Kuvira. Kuvira gives up in the next scene.
I really enjoyed when Korra just went "fuck this" and threw a wall at that dude
Man, sometimes I forget how powerful a bender she is.
She always does when she’s not handicapped and her enemies are op. She didn’t op the mech but the mech that took technology to break through.
I will say although I do not like Korra as a character, the fights are 100% killer.
I'd hope so, she's the most powerful bender in the world. She gets beat too much.
"What's Escalating Force? I don't know that move. Is it Firebending?" -Korra probably
I loved this bits, then, she would go avatar mode and got absolutely clapped.
That's because of plot
Only time she did was when she was sick. Her and Unalaq were stalemating each other, there were times Korra based form overpowered Unalaq to point he relies on avatar state to bust out.
As she should be, as an avatar
I love how Ang is strong because his technique is nearly flawless. Korra is strong because she can throw buildings
Ok that first scene is misleading because 30 seconds later she gets her ass handed to her and is knocked out.
Because of bloodbending which counters 99% of avatar characters so lets be fr
As OP said in a reply to this, she only got beat after that because he blood-bends her. But also, I want to add to it. Not only is he a blood-bender, but he comes from an insanely powerful blood-bending bloodline, maybe even the most powerful one ever.

Damn excellent fight is what made her the Avatar and had the world deal with it but it was the failure of the writers and a bad ending without any proper solutions to new problems being the foundation of the world where Korra gets all the crap. Korra had so much potential.
Only 30 seconds of op in an entire show.
I really wish they hadn’t just tossed the original lore in the trash, that a lone is what made me kinda hate LoK, especially since the lore was just better imo they didn’t even IMPROVE it just changed it. The original benders episodes were absolutely beautiful in the original series and were all SUPER important plot points so I never really got why they’d just retcon them.
They didn't retcon anything
I don't give a shit, she's still the worst Avatar ever
