Does anyone have experience with these blu ray? Are they the ideal way to watch the series ?
Each bender gets everything their style can do. For reference:
Waterbender:
Bloodbending Spiritbending Icebending Plantbending Healing
Airbender:
Spiritual projection (not very useful here tbh) Weightlessness/Flight Soundbending (Airbending enhanced screams used by Yangchen for example)
Earthbender:
Sandbending Dust-stepping Seismic sense Metalbending Lavabending
Firebender: Lightning (and redirection) Heatbending Combustionbending Flame divination (not very useful here tbh)
So who wins?
Out of character: kind of a sequel to this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheLastAirbender/comments/1i58z5v/as_a_resident_of_republic_city_i_condemn_the/
Loved the RP kinda so figured I'd make another one
In character: The Equalist have taken over Republic City, the Government has fallen or fled, Avatar Korra's status is unknown but is presumed to have been taken prisoner.
Amon and his equalist now rule, rounding up any benders and taking their bending. Platinum tanks now roam the streets, keeping a curpehw for all citizens.
However not all of us are willing to bend to Amon's will.
I and many of my fellow non benders are taking up the fight to Amon and his followers, as we also have the assistance of many benders that have escaped and come under our protection.
We have locked down a section of bouroughs downtown.
If it weren't for the benders, it wouldn't be possible.
Firebenders help power the electricity
Water benders are helping heal our soldiers and sick.
The earth benders have raised impenetrable metal walls to protect our territory.
The Equalist have tried invading many times but have been pushed back.
Thanks to visiting old museums and storage houses, we have found old fire nation tanks from the hundred year war, now being reinforced with Platimum, and old fire nation artillery pieces. While not as good as Sato's Platinum tanks, it is still enough to at least take down those beasts.
We have some air power also from what remained of the united forces that were left in the city.
Our plan:. Take down Amon and his terrorist and make a new government.. not the return of the ineffective council, but a new one that would represent all and we mean to go beyond Amon's narrow minded "bender vs non bender" equality.
This government will represent benders, non benders, the poor that are taken advantage of, corrupt rich men like Sato will be punished for abusing both their bender and non bender workers, both benders and non benders will be on the police force.
And this can all be possible by assisting us in taking down Amon and his radicals.
By creating a TRUE United Republic of Nations!!!!
I’m curious if you were born in a post Korra world would you want to be a non bender or which element would you wish to bend?
Aang should have just broken Ozai’s arms and legs. Maybe paralysed him and the results would be the same. I know this feels medieval but would have done the job
Notably, while the Fire Nation conquered most of the Earth Kingdom, they never actually conquered the Water Tribe. There was a good chance they wouldn't succeed without the Comet, so why didn't they try again during the comet?
Zaheer is the best villain of both Avatar shows.The best season of Legend of Korra is better than the best season of the Last Airbender. The only reasons people don't hold the opinions above are because they either have nostalgia for the Last Airbender or were hoping for a carbon copy of the Last Airbender when Korra came out and were very disappointed to find they were different.
I just realized something. When Aang pretended to be Avatar Kyoshi in S02E05, he makes his voice go higher. Then moments later, we learn that Kyoshi actually had a much deeper voice than Aang's normal voice.
Aang being played by a woman in Ember Island is fair game.
First off, how did I discover ATLA. From around 2013-2020, I didn't know what the show was called, but was repeatedly saw content; that content includes a six legged cow plush that a friend had, watching the live action movie on YTV, and online pictures of a boy with an arrow on his head and glowing eyes, like herobrine.
This all began when I wondered how the Fire nationals would react to a person of noble birth wearing a blue clothing item with dragon depictions. I think the nationalistic dragon would soothe the use of a "foreign" color, since real dragons do come in blue, and even green. Please tell me what you think of that!🙏
I've seen the discussion that people dyed their clothes with dyes they have locally available, and that are cheaper. It's a good conclusion, but I wonder if nations should wear different pigments that are rare in their area simply as a show of wealth and influence.
Now obviously in political or sensitive settings they would wear their native colors as a show of loyalty, pride and rebellion. Also I imagine that no other nation would wear bright red during the war for obvious reasons.
Here are some of my thoughts, please add amd correct me in the comments:
Fire Nation: Obviously we see a lot of red, as well as pink. Gold accents are a common theme, and black, white and gray are also common, but more as in individual garments than people dressing in all black. Since the Fire Nation is the agressor in the war, I don't see why wearing other nations trademark colors would be frowned upon unless it's in a clear show of support towards the other nations. Do you think it would be okey for Fire nationals to wear blue or green in their daily life?
Earth Kingdom: Earth Kingdom citizens primarily wear browns, greens, yellows and other earthy colors. They also seem to like gold accents as a display of wealth. It also seems that wearing red is not socially forbidden per se, since we see a man wearing red shoes in the Makapu village, but that could also be attributed to Aunt Wu, who is a revered fortuneteller, telling him to do so. I dont recall any other appearence of other colors in the Erth Kingdom, but there must've been more, right? It's a huge terrain, filled with all sorts of people, I'm sure the wealthy ladies of Ba Sing Se would like to flaunt their rare blue shawls or silk purple slippers. The only examples I could find in the show, are during the Earth King's party, where one woman wears a distinctly purple hair covering, and a dress that appears blue, but that could just be the lighting.
Water Tribes: In the Water Tribes we see primarily shades of blue and white, also, as a show of status and wealth, we see purple. I think only the wealthiest in the Water Tribes wear purple, that's why Yue's garments are so distinct and vivid in color compared to others. Obviously they don't have acces to a lot of dyes, since they are surrounded by icy tundra. Obviously in the Northern Water Tribe trade could be a way to source dye, but with their close knot tribal mindset, I don't think they would like to step away from traditions and appear different from others in the community.
Purple: I'm putting this as a separate secrion because I find it a very interesting possibility. Obviously we associate purple with the Water Tribes, but officially this color is not associated with any particular nation. We've also seen purple be displayed in the Earth Kingdom as a common eye makeup shade, also the hair accesory and some other minor details. Do you think Fire national court ladies would wear purple when engaging in social activities?
Something bugging me. Please be civil
Ok so this has been bugging me for a bit and I figured I’d see what the community thinks. I, for the life of me, can’t remember this tiktoker so forgive me there. But he was basically going in on power scaling in the avatar universe, specifically with the avatars, and how it doesn’t work because of how the avatar state works. However I don’t see it that way. Allow me to show you three avatars and a fight comparison.
Kuruk hunted down dark spirits, taking on Father Glowworm and mortally wounding him. Their clash was said to be so strong that it nearly tore a hole in reality all within a three day battle. An absolute powerhouse considering that Father Glowworm was also said to be one of the most powerful spirits at the time.
Kyoshi was so powerful that when she was just a maid with no training she created stone pillars by bending the earth miles under the surface of the ocean when they were talking to the pirate at the beginning of her novel and later in life was able to separate Kyoshi island from the mainland through her own powerful feats of lava bending.
Roku by contrast is memed to oblivion cause he died to an active volcano. Even though there were reasons he was struggling, mainly that not only is it hard to battle natural disasters he did it while he could barley breath due to toxic volcanic gas, that doesn’t stop people from saying he is a pathetic avatar in terms of power.
Why bring these up? Because of how the show portrays the power levels of the avatars: the glow and Raava. Roku says that the avatar state is a defense mechanism that imbues the wielder the skills and knowledge of all the past avatars while also enhancing one’s bending. With the introduction of Raava we are told that Raava gets stronger with each reincarnation. That would mean that, and I know this will piss off Kyoshi stands, Roku is stronger than Kyoshi meaning 🌋 > Kyoshi.
Now my second point: Vaatu’s fight with Wan and Korra. When Wan and Raava fused he pretty much owned Vaatu. Raava was so small she could fit into a tea kettle. Fast forward to Korra and she was about to do the same thing until Unalak interrupted things and we know how that went. Not the topic. With how the power scaling is presented in the show and by the creators Korra should have Molly whopped her uncle and Vaatu. Not only was Raava far larger than before Korra had 10,000 years of skill and knowledge vs an above average water bender…see my point?
I think that the only way to see it is that some avatars are stronger than others. I may be wrong. I don’t know.
In the episode "The Swamp" from Book 2, the "swamp monster" is revealed to be a man who simply "bends the water in the vines." The gang shortly thereafter learns that his name is "Huu." Sokka immediately repeats it in a sort of amused/surprised way, "HUU???" with his eyebrow raised. I have watched the series so many times and I can't seem to figure out why he reacts that way. Is there some pun/joke/reference I'm missing? Thanks!
Avatar Studios first project, an animated theatrical film featuring the adult gaang, is slated to release January 30th of 2026. It's been a long wait since the studio was first announced in 2021 so hopefully it's not delayed anymore. Regardless I thought this would be a good opportunity to recap some of what we know. Please add anything I missed.
The film is currently titled "Aang: The Last Airbender" but I'm not sure if that's final. It's also had working titles like "Lost Realm" and "Hidden Kingdom".
The movie is directed by Lauren Montgomery , who worked as a storyboard artist on ATLA & Lok and a supervising producer on the latter. Montgomery is also known for her work on Voltron LD and several DC projects. William Mata is co-director and has worked as a storyboard artist on films like Rise of the Guardians and Sea Beast. Avatar creators Mike and Bryan are heads of Avatar Studios and are listed as exec producers for the film.The animation studio is Flying Bark.
Cast
Edit: According to an alleged casting call for Toph she will be 24 putting the movie about 12 years after ATLA. But I wouldn't take that as confirmation, sometimes info listed in casting calls is incorrect or can change.
