I never realized that the metal from the domes is what's used later in the season. Like, it's really subtle but she says that line at the end of the episode and it just now clicked for me that that meant something.

2021-04-24 10:33:04 +0000 UTCim all about telling ppl when they're being hypocritical esp against korra bc it happens so often for no good reason but i honestly just dont think this is one of those moments bc of the context that you dont care about. so i doubt we will ever agree lol

2021-04-23 20:11:26 +0000 UTCim not missing your point i just disagree. i think it 100% matters what the situation calls for. i dont think it's always a double standard bc ppl wanted korra to be peaceful in situations that they thought should be handled more delicately and want her to stand her ground more in situations that they think are more dire like someone who your peers think is a dictator bringing their army to someone else's city lol... it's just that ofc you wouldnt expect them to explain that each time. when she's breaking desks after arguing with her bf or challenging villains to fight her no one is going to say "damn she needs to be more peaceful and less prone to anger, except when she's in a situation where she's ignorant about someone being a bad guy. then she should go in guns blazing" . and tbh im not even that annoyed she didnt want to fight immediately despite what all of these trusted ppl were saying, but why the hell was "please leave" her only argument lmao. but yeah anyway i dont think it's a double standard bc it depends on the context. you seem to be saying "damn the context. it only matters that youre saying the opposite of what you said in the past" (aka from 'korra pls stop fighting everyone' to 'korra pls fight her')

2021-04-23 20:09:59 +0000 UTCI think you're missing the point. Its a double standard that is pretty stupid. Doesn't matter what the situation calls for. The audience always acts like korra does things wrong. They want her to act more calmly and neutral like Aang. When she does (and rightfully so cause it wouldn't have been smart to go guns blazing in this situation tbh) it's not the right thing and she should just "kill kuvira" it's just dumb.

2021-04-23 13:58:45 +0000 UTCtime and time again avatars get in trouble for looking at situations that (imo) are clear violations to balance and still trying to negotiate. someone comes in with their whole ass army and the people who were doing your job for you for several months (the air nomads. tenzin's kids have to be aware of the stuff kuvira has done) give you all the context about their misdeeds on your way there (plus what su told her) then you just say “please leave” with no backup plan??? she literally just let kuvira steer the convo. i think this is one of a couple times korra can realize “i don’t have time to start from scratch. and i can trust the ppl who have been doing my job for me especially since kuvira is on someone else's land with a whole gundam army” and stand her ground better than what she did last episode. (and imo young aang probs would have handled this even worse bc he was a 12 year old monk lol)

2021-04-23 12:20:26 +0000 UTCKorra was in information gathering mode so as not to act blindly or hastily. I get that Su and the others didn't want to wait for Korra to play catch up, but Korra made the best choice based on her own physical and psycholical condition and the information she had at the time. Her job as the Avatar and a neutral intermediary is to get both sides talking and to reach an agreement. When Su attacked she interrupted the process forcing Korra to look for the best alternative to end the current conflict with the least amount bloodshed possible.

2021-04-23 11:07:51 +0000 UTCagree with the PTSD statement but this whole "oh NOW yall want her to be violent?? smh" doesnt make much sense to me. ofc viewers know the difference between not being able to argue without breaking stuff or threatening people vs becoming violent to beat up someone who almost all of your peers thinks is a dictator. people dont think korra should always be one way vs the other. did you ever watch Community? this reminds me of the episode someone told their friends "i didnt tell you your new guy friend is a war criminal bc you always complain i ruin your new friends for you". and the reply/joke is "yeah, bc usually you say stuff like 'he eats his boogers' or something dumb that puts us off. ofc we want you to tell us if any of our new friends is a *freaking war criminal*". no one is going to say in s1-s3 "korra needs to be more peaceful!! except if she sees some dictator taking over towns"

2021-04-23 10:23:55 +0000 UTCYou know what's worse then dealing with someone 'evil' you despise? When they actually treat you fairly and still get their way anyway. Kuvira told Korra she wouldn't attack until she returned to talk to her and didn't. She agreed and held by the terms of their peace agreement and Su was the one who broke it and tried to kidnap / assassinate her. She fought 1 v 1 with Korra until Jinora and Opal interfered. If it was the opposite way around we would read Kuvira for filth as a coward and liar because she's the antagonist. I feel Su gets a lot of passes in this show for things others wouldn't; without hurting their reputation or character; which is funny enough a part of Lin's issue with her last season.

2021-04-23 07:25:10 +0000 UTCIt's kinda ridiculous that people get mad at Korra for trying to be peaceful, but in season 1 people want her to he peaceful. Annoying double standard to be honest. It's like she never does anything right in the eyes of the audience. Edit: by now you should he able to tell it isn't about Korra and her powers. It's very simple. PTSD. Mental trauma doesn't just go away, and can't be blamed on anyone but the cause of the trauma, if any.
