Please do a review of Korra next. Keep in mind though that there was only going to be 1 season of Korra. Nickelodeon gave the creators the green light to do a 2nd season after season 1 so they had to scramble a bit to come up with a good story for season 2 which is not as bad as people say. After season 2 they got the green light to do a 3rd and 4th season so it's more concise and flows together. The 4th season actually never aired on tv, it was on their website and getting up and waiting for it at 11am so I could watch it was really fun. Also read the comics, they really expand the lore and answer a few questions and read the novels about Avatar Kyoshi and Avatar Yangchen. They're really good too.

If they don't do well, then they aren't really 'tainting' the legacy of ATLA since they're mostly standalone (Aside from continuations and prequels), and it lets them open the door to any manner of stories in the universe.

Actually, a lot of fans hate all the extra development given to Ozai. He wasn't supposed to be a real character in the original series, just a sort of representation of the worst of the Fire Nation and the war as a whole. That's why they used him so sparingly, when you use a character like that too much they lose a lot of their presence and just become this bland caricature that's hard to take seriously. Like, the show actually had Zuko fight Ozai in the Agni Kai, and like- what? That was a super important part of the original where Zuko was banished because he refused to fight. It showed off how cruel Ozai was by burning his son even when his son was on his knees begging for forgiveness. It showed how naive Zuko used to be, believing his father would forgive him if he didn't fight. And then Zuko almost wins but doesn't because of personal choices? What the Hell?! Why should we be concerned about Aang beating the Fire Lord when the Fire Lord loses to his preteen son?! Aang doesn't need to master any other elements, he could just go to the Fire Nation right now and beat Ozai! He's already beaten Zuko by this point! Sure, this series gives Ozai more scenes but they add literally NOTHING to Ozai's character. In fact, all they've done is take away.

Same with Azula. By humanizing the character, you take away from her SUPPOSED character, which is perfection. The cracks slowly started to show, and she completely broke at the end of Book 3, but here, she's on a cyclical journey - angsty rebellious teen who cannot reach perfection, reaches perfection, then drops back down to the exact same place. One more thing, about Ozai: Everybody likes the 41st Division change but it's just so. Unbelievably. Stupid. When you look at it for more than 2 seconds. Zuko fought his father to spare the 41st Division, then his father punishes him by sparing the 41st Division. People say it's to "remind him of his failure" but it's not - he DOESN'T FAIL, he GETS EXACTLY WHAT HE WANTED! Not only is this utterly stupid on every level, it also dumbs down Ozai very much, because what, you cancelled a military plan just to "teach Zuko a lesson"? You sacrifice another, more experienced division? What the hell?

It's like everyone forgets that Aang is actually a master and with water being the closest element spiritually to air, it's one of the reasons he gets it faster besides being the Avatar. Technically all Avatars are prodigies in some way being with the element that suits them the closest whether it's their first element or not. Avatars will get them faster because they have done it before in a past life, it doesn't mean they don't struggle, they just have to get in the right mindset. It's like learning to walk after having amnesia after a car crash , you know you can do it,you see other people do it, and you just need to believe that you can do it.

The original creators were actually supposed to help work on the live action show but left due to “creative differences” of course. Meanwhile, shows like the One Piece live action and the Fallout show are being praised because they’re actually good shows on their own and the og creators were also involved with the production. It really seems like the best solution for making legitimately good live action adaptations of animated shows is actually listening and working together with the original creators…shocker.

The sad part is that if you watch videos of the Avatar actors, you can see how they are like their characters. They had a pretty bad script to work with because the creators were ousted and there wasn’t much that they could do about it, a problem that the One Piece cast didn’t have because Eiichiro Oda (creator of One Piece) was involved in mostly every decision that was made in the adaptation.

Yes! Avatar is definitely not an anime it’s just anime influenced.

Also, a small correction on your description of Aang in the first episode of the Netflix show: He doesn't run away. He's stressed out about having just learned that he's the avatar (Right before the festival starts, good job Gyatso), and because he can't sleep he asks Appa to take him on a flight to clear his head. He's literally just talking a walk, which is 100% a reasonable thing to be doing in his shoes. Except the show still frames it like he ran away, so WHAT WAS THE POINT OF THE CHANGE?

And how about Gyatso appearing in the Spirit World? Not only is it a major lore breaker, but it also completely undermines the sadness of the whole situation. Now, in life, you mostly don't get to say goodbye. You say "see you later", and then the person dies and you never see them or talk to them again. That gives weight to death. That lack of closure. Also, in life, you may believe, or hope, but you don't KNOW that the afterlife exists. Not knowing if you'll reconnect with your loved ones, again, gives weight to death. Otherwise, you'll miss them, but in more of a hopeful way - why be sad if you'll eventually be together again, and forever this time? Without these 2 factors, death may as well be meaningless. In NATLA's case, Gyatso just appears in the Spirit World, talks to Aang, says goodbye, essentially says that the afterlife exists and tells Aang to not worry or feel guilt. BOOM. Aang's whole character is ruined, congratulations.

Fun fact the bloodbending episode was originally aired during the week of Halloween so Nick used their new show that wouldn't necessarily make sense to suddenly be celebrating a "Halloweenesque holiday" like Icarly or Drake and Josh by having a Halloween episode without it being Halloween based.

@@umairashraf5167 interestingly out of the four sub sets of bending (blood for water lava for earth lightning for fire and flight? For air?(I'm not sure if there is a subset for airbenders)) blood bending is the only one that is illegal by LOK if u consider that canon(some fans don't consider Korra canon although I'm pretty sure with the new animated series coming next year (I think?) with an earth born avatar they're probably going to make Korra canon which will be intresting considering she ended the avatar cycle basically. She lost her connection to the other avatars and never regained it unless its regained in the Korra comics which I haven't read. Personally I think it would be cool to have the avatar be born in the desert as a sand bender like that fan animation that was popular on YT but had to be pulled because of the announcement of a new series. Hopefully the people who worked on the fan animation got hired by team Avatar studios Cause I really liked where the series was heading

So a few things I do feel like I should mention. 1) Korra isn't bad, it's divisive. The Legend of Korra makes a lot of weird, and honestly bad, decisions during it's run that was a combination of multiple factors that I'm not going into right now. With that said, it has also done a lot of things pretty great as well. It just failed to live up to the expectations of the original ATLA that has a number of fans treating it worse than it actually is. Personally I say the show is worth watching as the positives do generally outweigh the bad, and understand that the fan base generally agrees that Season 2 was just a mistake. 2) I think the big reason why people weigh the Netflix show higher then [There is no Movie inside of Ba Sing Se] is because there does feel like an honest attempt from the Netflix show to actually be faithful. It doesn't, but there are all sorts of tiny nods and all sorts of other things that shows that this was created by people who really do know the show, whereas the movie that doesn't exist feels like someone read a script of the first season once and just went based off of that. 3) I want to make a big suggestion of looking into the actual books when you can. Specifically the Rise of Kyoshi and the Shadow of Kyoshi novels specifically as they are two of the best Avatar content we've gotten in years, but because they are novels, they are easily overlooked by most fans. (I did myself until I ended up catching a glimpse of the story and decided to look into them myself.) Like I know that it isn't usually content you look at, but they are completely worth it if you want to really get to know some of these characters that are barely touched on in the show.

I appreciate a lot of korra, particularly the worldbuilding in season 1 and how it expanded and evolved the world a generation later. However I don't think it outweighs the bad for me personally, as I think the main characters just aren't very compelling or deep. Korra is an okay character but not super interesting, not even a fraction as interesting any single character in ATLA. Mako straight up just sucks and is not an entertaining or compelling character in the slightest. And the other guy is pretty alright but feels like a pathetic stand-in for the role Sokka took in ATLA. I really like Tenzin and tophs daughter, but I just couldn't enjoy the show that much following the extremely mid main trio. I did like the concept of the separatists and I liked amon, but I already know seasons 2 and 3 sucks so I'm not even gonna watch them

To be honest, I didn’t watch the original show or Korra until this year and I’m so glad I did. It’s my favorite animated show of all time and as close as you can get to a perfect show.

When the show creators dipped out during the script writing should have been a sign to everyone that this show wasn’t gonna be a retelling but a different show.

Back then I was asking HOW?? WHY??? But the answer was (drumroll please) he got lazy, and I don't mind. I know that watching Avatar The Last Airbender would be a time consuming thing, Heck, I even took a whole school year! (from the 3rd grade to 4th grade) The teacher would say "Okay kids, Let's watched Avatar!" and me and all my classmate will sit down and watch Avatar on Netflix in the TV screen. Oh just typing it down feels so nostalgic. Thank you FootofaFerret for finally watching Avatar and making a video about it, and EVEN taking about the new show and it's problems, MAN, THIS MADE MY DAY!

Just finished series for the first time as a 30 year old. Let me tell you, this show has one of the best series finales

Finally, you make a video about all their favorite series

I was the same way, I never even heard of the show till I has a junior in high school tbh and that was like about a decade after it ended. I did finally watch the show that same year and I feel in love with it.

22:23 Fun fact about the name pronunciation, Aang, Sokka, Iroh and even Avatar sound exactly this way in the Hebrew dubbed version of the series.

6:36 You nailed that feeling after finishing Avatar perfectly. I just watched the original Avatar myself for the first time because of the netflix version and I've been scouring for more Avatar content since then. I usually don't re-watch TV shows, but I very quickly watched it over again (The Good Place is the only other one I can remember doing this) and that still isn't enough. I can totally understand why this fandom is still going so strong after 20 years. And I must say, now is a great time to be joining the fandom. The voice actors for Zuko and Korra host a podcast together, the voice actress for Toph posts regular content on her youtube channel (including reactions to every episode), and Avatar Studios is coming out with a new movie and it sounds like there is additional stuff in the works too. I'm glad there is new stuff to consume because it is so good I just can't turn my brain off from it. 😄

There were 2 LEGO Avatar The last Airbender sets when the show came out 🤣

footofaferret: I loved yu-gi-oh me a yu-gi-oh fan from way back: NANI!

It's honestly sad. The actors on the live action really care about the og series, you can tell by the interviews. Like the kid who plays aang wanted the penguin sledding in it

Btw Aang started mastering water bending first because waterbending is chronically next in the avatar cycle, which it is the order it is supposed to be learned. Although it happened to be convenient that Katara was just starting too.

"And Aang turns into the final boss from Sonic Adventure about it". One of the best quotes from Ryder. :)

FINALLY HE MADE AN AVATAR VIDEO

There is a continuation of this show in the WebToon that continues after Avatar the Last Airbender show but before Korra. Really good web comic to read

There's not much of a rivalry between Aang and Ozai in the original show, because they're not rvials. Hope this helps.

I introduced my bf to ATLA in 2020 when we first started dating, and it is still so good. A timeless story that truly is about as perfect as a show can get. Not a kids show, a SHOW show. For any age. This show goes above and beyond just "nostalgia", it's just that good.

Hold up I literally just watched an avatar episode foafy you sure your not in my walls?

Putting the movie next to Korra and calling them both not well liked should be a hate crime

@@isozchrismer9809 I would argue and say season 3 (the one with Zaheer) is the one that deserves it. Season 2 is actually my favorite and I think some of the best moments from the show come from there (Nuktuk, introduction of Varrick and Zhu Li, Dark Avatar Unalaq, etc.) I also thought that having Unalaq as the villain was very interesting as he was Korra’s uncle, and seeing Korra being on not so great terms with her family was not something we had seen yet, and his whole personality with the spiritual aspect reminds me of Arthur Harrow from the Moon Knight series. On the contrary, I would say that Zaheer was a boring villain who felt like he popped out of nowhere, had a forgettable crew, and a cheap excuse to be an Airbender.

the one thing i love about the movie is Yue's costume and hair, netflix just made that poor girl wear an amazon cosplay.

Finally, I have been waiting forever for you to make a video about this

Hey, better late than never! Welcome to the fan base! Great video! I would love for you to cover Korra in a future video once you finish it (No rush, hope you enjoy it!). Personally I LOVE Korra, and it is very different than the original, but I still think it's amazing!

Dude I just started watching it last month 😭. You’re not alone. I just finished Legend of Korra tho so it didn’t take me long

I had the exact mindset when it came to watching Avatar. It is now easily my #1 show to watch. The story, characters, animation and just everything is incredible!

I hope we get a sequel video with Legend of Korra, love that show

when people have not watched a show and that show has been adapted and rebooted, I just really want to tell them "Watch the reboot 1st then watch the show" do it backwards and see if you have a different reaction from the fans who are mad that the adaptation changed stuff. I want to find as many things as I can that have been rebooted and tell newbies to watch it all out of order just to generate a new POV I think that would be a fun video, to report on a fandom from mixed up order.

I did that with Death Note. I cam confirm that the only thing it does is make the Live Action worse either way, because I loved the manga/anime. So... it's better to just watch the original either way. It's better to just ignore those "remakes" and see what made the original story beloved.

Ive put off great shows before many times. Adventure Time, Avtaar TLA, Star Trek, Stven Universe, Powerpuff Girls all things I put off for years

The Legend of Kora was defiantly over hated during its time. It’s not as good as the original series in some aspects but it’s still a good sequel to the original cartoon and comics.

The animation in this was awesome good work :D

EXACTLY WHY DIDNT AAND LEARN WATERBENDING? How come the show isn’t funny and silly? Why is sokka not misogynistic anymore? Why isn’t katara being overbearing? All of this had so much to do with them growing as characters and they took it all away.

2 problems with the movie: the casting is borderline racist and the bending is just awful, that single floating rock scene is one of the worst vfx shots ive ever seen. For the Legend of Korra, important to note that Nickelodeon exes only renewed the show season by season, and took every opportunity to medal in the writing and plot direction. The showrunners did the best they could with what they had with Korra, and its not a bad show, its just not as good as the Last Airbender where they had full control and knew they had 3 seasons to tell their story properly

I have mixed feelings on TLoK, so I'm going to break it season by season. S1: Actually good. The romance was a mess, but the romance wasn't the best in ATLA either. Other than that, I liked Amon and the main cast. S2: Awful. Won't go into to much detail, but it just feels like they were forced to change the story halfway through, and it made the season an inconcistent mess, both with ATLA and season 1. S3: Overrated. It felt like it dragged on and started to get reptative. If I had a nickel for every time the main gang had a fight with the red lotus, I would have an entire dollar. S4: Just let it end. It just felt hollow, with so many random choises out of nowhere. Just a dissapointing finale. To close it all out: I don't blame the show's creators. They tried to tell a good story, but both studio medaling and poor execution let to it failing to capture the feeling of ATLA and thier own vision. Sorry this was so long, but I just wanted to put my own full opinion on TLoK.

Hm, fair and valid points and opinions, i hope to hear your thoughts on Korra. Anyway, 8 Episodes, huh? 8 Episodes? Why is there seemingly so many New Shows that just have 8 Episodes a Season now? Someone please tell me, why is there so many 8 Episode Seasons now?

I was in the same boat lol, I never cared to watch it throughout my life, and only recently did I start to watch it. GOATED show

Don't beat urself up for it. I first watched ATLA when I was 18 in highschool... Two years ago.

i generally agree with the sentiment but... that second sentence is blasphemous (hyperbolic)! *beyond this point is my pedantic arguing on the value OP doesnt see, but it is only my two cents. I dont want to argue it any further, so only read on if you care. I am not intending to start a debate, only explain my differing opinion.* it might not do anything new, but there was actual value in the adaptation. The key is the heart and spirit of the show remained unchanged for one piece (save for some tonal issues with garp that could be easily fixed if given the run time to see how they re-integrate him), but most other live action "adaptations" show a level of shame for the source by failing to recognize tonal changes require drastic script overhauls to the point it cant realistically be called the same story anymore. The value of one piece's live action adaptation is not in the story, but in the world. Practical sets for the fantastical ships of the show restore that sense of child-like wonder and belief in magic that adults tend to compartmentalize into the freedoms of animation, never to be seen in reality. Easy example: Beratie. If it was affordable, i would very much enjoy that style of restaurant boat, and it might even be more fantastical than the anime. Seeing the inside of Kaya's mansion helps sell the rich girl elements that are very easy to forget in the animation where she is just a normal, though terminally ill, girl who just happens to live in a larger house than normal. I'll say it again: there is value in live action one piece, but it is important not to overlook the fact the creator was directly involved in making sure it remained faithful to his initial vision. Oda remained on board the entire time; avatar studios did not. Love them or hate them, there is a novelty to live action adaptations, and the Goldilocks zone they thrive in is finding a way to prove the magic of the animation can exist in reality with enough ingenuity WITHOUT loosing the heart and soul of the source. Want a quick metric? compare the source to the adaptation first by "do both products hold up on their own without prerequisite knowledge from the other?", then by "do the products maintain the same general 'vibe' which necessitates very little deviation in tone between the 2?" and finally "do i personally enjoy watching both, regardless of what biases i am using?" Only when all 3 pass does the adaptation work. Most bad ones cut so much they dont function on their own anymore. mediocre ones disrespect the 'vibe' of the source, even if it stands on its own. good ones bring joy because the balancing act is maintained, then defined by how wobbly the spinning plates are.

Fun fact: the misspronounced names are the right names in the Hungarian dub. It's really funny hearing everyone (in America) freaking about this😂😂😂. Also awesome video❤❤

I was here before this blew up :) also I was the first like :)

Me too bro, I just started it recently.

Why did the mere mention of Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo make me laugh? XD

I'll be honest, one of the few things I actually liked from the movie is the design of Aang's air bender tattoo. Like, sure, it totally should have been blue, but I loved how intricate it was. The netflix one, though does have a cool pattern in it when you look closely(which is cool), just....looks like someone painted an arrow on his head instead of an actual tattoo. Also the intricate pattern from the movie just makes more sense to me in my head since i'd guess they wouldn't have a tattoo gun pre electricity buuut fantasy world. They make their own rules and thats cool too x3

I really like avatar but I’m not a fan of Anng not wanting to kill the fire lord. It comes out of almost nowhere. If it had been mentioned from the start of the show that Anng didn’t want to kill the fire lord he wanted to find another way around the problem and a good amount of the episodes focused on that that would be fine but that’s not what happens. Anng not wanting to kill The fire lord isn’t brought up until the series finale and it feels so stupid. It just makes Anng look like the biggest dumbass. Anng saying that he has never killed Anyone is so laughably untrue. Energy bending also sucks since that also comes out of completely nowhere and was not mentioned at all until the finale. I’m also not at fan of everything with Tophs parents. it’s never concluded in anyway and we’re only ever told about how apparently Tophs parents didn’t love her but we’re never shown that. In fact that doesn’t even make sense. They sent guys to go and bring her back to them. If they didn’t care about her, why would they do that? I really like avatar but is absolutely not perfect and I feel like a lot of people treat it like it is

@SageArdor

Regarding the Toph's parents part, it's very common for rich and/or politically-tied parents to love their children only as far as their usage as heirs or as bargaining tools. If they had absolute assurance that Toph could not carry on their legacy, they'd have disowned her, if not abandoned her.

thanks again for your work!

I literally finished the show today, amazing timing on my part

I actually really like legend of Korra, I can see some parts where people may not like it but the show as a whole is cool and really expands the world! My favorite character is Bolin!

tbh i watched korra all the way through before atla, so i like korra a bit more than atla, yes i understand the criticisms but also it is awesome to basically see the opposite situation of what Ang was going though (Aang never wanted to be the avatar but is forced into the responsibility while korra really wants to be the avatar but is in a society where they dont really think they need her anymore)

Probably why the fandom thinks the movie is more egregious than the show (At least why I think so) is because with the show it at least felt like there were people that enjoyed the original and the movie did not feel like that at all.

Whenever I hear a fantasy adaptation is gonna try and be “mature” and “like Game of Thrones”, I immediately walk the other way.

Awesome man 😎 glad you came to this

FIRST 16 MINUTES IM SO HAPPY NOW I CAN TELL FOAFY ABOUT HOW GOOD HIS WORK IS

When he said in the sponsor he got a shovel and said”where do I bring next time..idk the store..” got me dying🤣

Would love your take on LoK, as someone who picked up the series with netflix streaming, I really like Korra's story even though AtLA is better.

19:20 Not only does Aang not see Ozai until the end of the show, we the audience never even see his face for the entire first 2 seasons. Then in season 3 we're in the fire nation and his face is so common that Aang shows off a picture of Ozai he made from macaroni at Fire Nation school.

The legend of Korea wasn’t accepted well at the time, but a lot of people LOVE it now. I think that if you directly compare last airbender and korra directly treating it like an immediate sequel is what turned people off. But returning to it later on, people including myself ended up loving it.

When you mentioned sokka’s “angst” (in the movie), I thought about those changed “vowel sounds” that you mentioned and imagined that, in your narration you stopped, corrected yourself and said - “or should I say “ongst”?” Am I making sense? Anyway I made myself laugh imagining you saying it 🤣 Thanks for the video. 🙂🐿🌈❤️

What are the odds? I literally finished the show yesterday (It was amazing btw)

If you like avatar world, honestly chronicles of the avatar novel series has been amazing for it. First Kyoshi novel has the best villain the franchise has had. 👏 Korra gets so much undeserved hate, I also didn't hate netflix's live action, it was like a 7, reminder first season of the cartoon wasn't the best apart from few episodes there. Except for live-actions Jet-Omashu mix, that was just bad. :'D Also, I'm so annoyed with english people complaining about the film's pronouncing of the names, because...That's how they're pronounced, just not in english. It's closer to japanese and finnish pronunciation just for example. :'D
