00:00:00Remaking in the entire old video, or are you reworking a section?
00:00:02Remaking the whole thing.
00:00:31Not so fast. First, you owe me for the avatar's new gear.
00:00:34Gym and equipment rentals for last month.
00:00:37Rent on your apartment.
00:00:39And a personal loan for groceries.
00:00:42What? I'm a growing boy!
00:00:44Oh, and one more small item of business.
00:00:46The fire ferrets need to ante up 30,000 yuan for the championship pot.
00:00:5030,000 yuan?!
00:00:52Sorry, kids. You've got till the end of the week to come up with a dough,
00:00:55or else you're out of the tournament.
00:00:58You wouldn't happen to have a sword, would you?
00:01:00You wouldn't happen to have a sword, would you?
00:01:02I got nothing. I've never really needed money.
00:01:04I've always had people taking care of me.
00:01:06Then I wouldn't say you have nothing.
00:01:08Sorry, I didn't mean...
00:01:09No, it's alright. It's just...
00:01:12There's another moment that shows that Korra's a lot more humble than people often give her credit for.
00:01:17It's like, when she realizes she's like,
00:01:19I've always had people taking care of me.
00:01:20Then I wouldn't say you have nothing.
00:01:21It's like, ooh, I fucked up.
00:01:24Even with someone she argues with a lot, it's like,
00:01:26okay, yeah, that was on me.
00:01:53Don't worry about it. I'll figure something out.
00:01:55I always do.
00:02:02Come one, come all!
00:02:03See Pabu, the fantastic fire ferret,
00:02:05as he crosses the Ladder of Peril!
00:02:08Upside down!
00:02:12Psst, psst!
00:02:14To the goal!
00:02:24Cinnamon toast crunch, blasted with cinna-dust!
00:02:27What's up with your dad, Chloe?
00:02:29Ever since he got AT&T's best deal on the new Samsung Galaxy,
00:02:32he's been up on his high horse.
00:02:35Best deal got me feeling like a big ol' cowboy.
00:02:38That's a very high horse.
00:02:39Perhaps he can wait in the waiting room?
00:02:42I'll just go wait in the waiting room.
00:02:45Ride high with AT&T's best deal on the new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6.
00:02:53Whoa!
00:02:57When you're with Amex Platinum,
00:02:59you never miss the next big moment.
00:03:01That's the powerful backing of American Express.
00:03:04Yeah, boy!
00:03:05When the internet said Red Lobster's going away,
00:03:08the boy Flavor Flav said, not today.
00:03:10Crab Fest is here, boy, and they got two flavors, just like me.
00:03:14Flavor Flav!
00:03:15We got roasted garlic and new Cajun butter,
00:03:18getting the most bonafide comeback yet.
00:03:20The comeback you'll be coming back for.
00:03:23It's Crab Fest at Red Lobster, boy.
00:03:25When you gotta have seafood, you gotta have Red Lobster.
00:03:29Probably.
00:03:31Also, I'm not sure what work they'd have for an earthbender in a power plant, but...
00:03:37I mean, kudos to him for finding it.
00:03:49Does anyone actually like Mako as a character?
00:03:54Okay, be honest with me.
00:03:56Does anyone actually like Mako as a character?
00:03:59From the moment he first appeared...
00:04:01From the moment he first appeared...
00:04:11He was practically stock anime boy number 77.
00:04:2377 quintillion.
00:04:3277 quintillion.
00:04:33Oh, come on.
00:04:34Archetype's older than that!
00:04:53Handsome anime type is the anime I'd appeal for. He looks like anime Ross Geller, honestly.
00:05:24Kind of?
00:05:40Oh yeah. Um, I wouldn't call him wormy, but, like, uh, the guy from the Acolyte feels like they...
00:05:49What's his name?
00:05:52Oh, uh, Kimier. Q-I-M-I-R.
00:06:02Yep, yep. Like, the trend now seems to be, like, they took a Reddit moderator and put him into the makeup department for like ten minutes.
00:06:19Would you believe that this character exists because the person in charge of making the Acolyte literally just went on record going,
00:06:25so I'm gonna do Raylo Wright.
00:06:28Ew.
00:06:29Yeah.
00:06:30Look, doing Raylo Wright involves, well, I hope Kimier gets a fucking, gets a lightsaber shoved through his face.
00:06:38Or, like, sanded down.
00:06:40Shut up.
00:06:44Like, you don't see this kind of, like, the kind of character Mako is, you don't see this kind of character anymore.
00:06:48Like, I think I've only seen one character like him in the last six years.
00:06:53Hm.
00:07:03Hm.
00:07:04Hm.
00:07:08And even then, that guy was more of a drenched cat.
00:07:11Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh.
00:07:38End prayers, girl, I don't know what you want.
00:07:41Ray, Ray, Ray, two milliseconds before hugging Ailey.
00:07:55Brooding moody little bitch whose voice never broke the same monotone for the entirety of
00:07:57the first season.
00:07:58He was like a distillation, he was like the distillation, he was the distillation, distillation
00:08:04of a trend for male characters that have been going on, male characters that have been going
00:08:07on, that had been going on, going on for about a decade, about a decade.
00:08:13He's the Ana- he's Attack of the Clones' Anakin.
00:08:17Broody, miserable, always with a permanent scowl for about a decade, which started with
00:08:27George Lucas, funnily enough.
00:08:28You know, it's funny, George Lucas started both trends now that I think about it.
00:08:31Oh dear.
00:08:32Have you read the novelizations?
00:08:46There's novelizations of Korra?
00:08:47If they are, I'm not covering them.
00:08:48Broody, miserable.
00:08:49I think I read the novelization of the prequels.
00:08:59And for some reason, the lead female character wants to jump his bones.
00:09:15First impressions are important for a character because, character, because, well, because
00:09:21you've had the entire production season to refine them, to refine and work on them, work
00:09:26on them, and when your first play is literally nothing, literally nothing, that doesn't show,
00:09:32that doesn't bode well for how you'd, how you intend this to play, for how you intend
00:09:40the character to play out, play out.
00:09:44Bolin starts out charming, starts out charming and outgoing, outgoing, and as a result gets
00:09:51to do a lot more as a character, as a character.
00:09:56Mako basically, Mako doesn't do anything in this, in season one, season one, outside
00:10:02of basically being fought over, fought over by the only two, by the only two women in
00:10:07the cast, in the main cast.
00:10:09I think I put that, yeah, I put that in Korra's section, actually.
00:10:26Korra is such a cool character, but Bryke is so fucking weird about women.
00:10:32The moment we have a cool lady protagonist, one of the first things she does is beef with
00:10:36some other girl over the most unremarkable guy in the world, and if that doesn't reek
00:10:45of this was written by weird men to you, then you're probably a weird man.
00:10:49It doesn't really stop.
00:10:50It remains a consistent thorn in the show's side for its entire runtime, so Korra gets
00:10:53away from her handlers, but then she spends most of the season not really doing anything,
00:10:56and it doesn't stop her from being everyone's hacky sack.
00:11:02She gets tossed around in an earthbending arena, she gets tossed around by Toph, she
00:11:11gets tossed around by Kuvira, spends most of season four bouncing off the dirt like
00:11:14she's been kicked by Yor Forger.
00:11:21Kuvira apologists invent a mind control machine based on the Daily's techniques, and the
00:11:26main story there has Bolin, Mako, and Asami be kidnapped, brainwashed, and used to attack
00:11:29her because she wouldn't hurt them.
00:11:31Wow.
00:11:32I'm so glad I didn't read those.
00:11:52is that the handsome firebender boy that drives you crazy?
00:11:54Does he drive you crazy in a bad way, or does he drive you crazy like you like him?
00:11:58Oh.
00:11:59Hey, Mako.
00:12:00You seen Bolin?
00:12:01Nice to see you, too.
00:12:02And no, I haven't seen him since practice.
00:12:03Think something's wrong?
00:12:04I don't know.
00:12:05Bolin has a knack for getting into stupid situations.
00:12:06See you later.
00:12:07Wait.
00:12:08I could, uh, help you look for him.
00:12:09Nah, I got it.
00:12:10Hey, cool guy.
00:12:11Let me help you.
00:12:12We can take Naga.
00:12:13Who's Naga?
00:12:14My best friend.
00:12:15And a great tracker.
00:12:17I like how he waited until that exact moment.
00:12:19Let's bring that up.
00:12:20Now that makes perfect sense.
00:12:21I'll take that as a compliment, city boy.
00:12:22Thanks, Naga.
00:12:23I'll see you around.
00:12:24See you later.
00:12:25Bye.
00:12:26See you later.
00:12:27Bye.
00:12:28Bye.
00:12:29Bye.
00:12:30Bye.
00:12:31Bye.
00:12:32Bye.
00:12:33Bye.
00:12:34Bye.
00:12:35Bye.
00:12:36Bye.
00:12:37Bye.
00:12:38Bye.
00:12:39Bye.
00:12:40Bye.
00:12:41Bye.
00:12:42Bye.
00:12:43Bye.
00:12:44Well, this is his usual hangout.
00:12:46You guys seen my brother around here today?
00:12:51Perhaps.
00:12:52My memory's a little foggy.
00:12:54Maybe you can help clear it up.
00:12:56You're good, Scoochie.
00:12:57A real pro.
00:12:58Yeah, I seen him.
00:12:59When?
00:13:00About noon.
00:13:01What was he doing?
00:13:02He was performing some kind of monkey rat circus.
00:13:05And then...
00:13:06And then what?
00:13:07Why'd he leave?
00:13:08Shady Shinshin.
00:13:09Shady Shinshin showed up and flashed some serious cash.
00:13:10Bo took off with him in his hot rod.
00:13:11The Triple Threats, the Red Monsoons, the Agni Kai's.
00:13:12All the Triads are muscling up for something real big.
00:13:13Now that's all you're getting out of me.
00:13:14What's he talking about?
00:13:15Sounds like there's a turf war brewing.
00:13:16And Bo Lin's about to get caught right in the middle of it.
00:13:17So where are we headed?
00:13:18The Triple Threat Triad's headquarters.
00:13:19We've got to get out of here.
00:13:20We've got to get out of here.
00:13:21We've got to get out of here.
00:13:22We've got to get out of here.
00:13:23We've got to get out of here.
00:13:24We've got to get out of here.
00:13:25We've got to get out of here.
00:13:26We've got to get out of here.
00:13:28Triple Threat Triad?
00:13:29I beat up some of those yahoos when I got into town.
00:13:30Why would Bo Lin get tangled up with...
00:13:31Whoa, Naga!
00:13:32That's Pabu!
00:13:33No, Naga.
00:13:34Pabu's a friend, not a snack.
00:13:35I'm sorry.
00:13:36I'm sorry.
00:13:37I'm sorry.
00:13:38I'm sorry.

00:13:54I'm sorry.
00:13:55I'm sorry.
00:13:56I'm sorry.
00:13:57I'm sorry.
00:14:11We are magic for life...
00:14:16I mean, Mako could have been cool if instead of, uh...
00:14:20a cop, he became a private eye.
00:14:22Bo Lin?
00:14:23Hm?
00:14:24You in here?
00:14:25Oh
00:14:55Oh
00:15:25Oh
00:15:55Have you ever tried to turn a zeppelin
00:16:01I can't bend
00:16:02I can't bend calm down. It'll wear off. Those guys were chi blockers. They're amman's henchmen amman
00:16:09That anti-bending guy with the mask. Yeah, he's the leader of the equalists. What do they want with the triple threats, whatever it is
00:16:15Can't be good
00:16:17I can't believe bolin got himself into this mess
00:16:20Mako, we are going to save your brother. I promise you that
00:16:25So
00:16:35We've been out all night no sign of him we've got to keep looking but where I have an idea
00:16:51The first day I got into town I ran into an equalist protester over there
00:16:54And you think they'll know where bolin is? It's our only lead right now
00:17:04So why is bolin running around with a triple threat triad anyway
00:17:08Well, we we used to do some work for them back in the day. What?
00:17:11Are you some kind of criminal? No, you don't know what you're talking about. I just ran numbers for them and stuff
00:17:17We were orphans out on the street. I did what I had to do to survive and protect my little brother
00:17:21I'm, sorry
00:17:22It must have been really hard
00:17:25Can I ask what happened to your parents?
00:17:30They were mugged by a firebender he cut them down right in front of me I was eight
00:17:35Mako, he literally has the batman origins
00:17:39Anything happened to him?
00:17:45Equality now equality now we want equality now
00:17:53That's the guy
00:18:00It's you again, you cannot silence me avatar
00:18:04Shut your yapper and listen up my friend got kidnapped by some chief lockers. Where'd they take him?
00:18:08I have no idea what you're talking about. Oh, I think you do
00:18:12Oh
00:18:20Witness the revelation tonight nine o'clock. What's this revelation? Nothing that concerns the likes of you two
00:18:28You better believe it concerns us
00:18:30Spill it. No one knows what the revelation is and I have no idea what happened to your friend
00:18:34But if he's a bender then my bet is he's getting what's coming to him. Where's it happening?
00:18:38Hey, what's going on over there the avatar suppressing us help let's scram
00:18:50Why didn't the equalist put a location on these probably because they don't want just anyone waltzing into their big revelation
00:18:55Whatever that is. I bet the information is hidden on here. Somehow. Look at the backs. There's four different images
00:19:03So it's a puzzle. Yeah of a map
00:19:09Yeah
00:19:12Bingo that must be where it's going down
00:19:19Okay, where's that document there we go
00:19:21So if our first villain comes to form of an equality movement, are you kidding me out of the gate?
00:19:27Fucking great start there break. You're introduced to the uh, fucking great start there breaker
00:19:31Non-benders in the city and you're introduced to it and you're introduced to it by
00:19:34Okay
00:19:36Someone telling you that is the case
00:19:43The map is literally manhattan, yeah, I know
00:19:47What
00:19:50That is the case but outside of
00:19:54But outside of a uh of a set of gangs of a set of gangs called
00:19:58Gangs called the triads
00:20:00Triads there really isn't
00:20:02Isn't any actual oppression going on in the city
00:20:06On the city not on on the city not on a systemic level at least
00:20:12Level at least so the whole so the idea of non-bender non-bender oppression
00:20:22Oppression is largely absent absent is largely absent and invented
00:20:32Equalist now, of course. Well, duh, lily. He's lot. Well, duh, lily. He's a liar
00:20:38He's a lot well, duh lily he's a liar, of course he's making shit up
00:20:49Vendors, of course, he's making shit up. No, no, no, you don't get it. No, you don't you don't get it
00:20:53No, you don't you don't get it. It's a common
00:20:57A common argument a common argument that big that biggest in real life use real life often use
00:21:02Use is that the is that?
00:21:06Are inventing their oppression or
00:21:14Evil magneto was the hla comic prequel, uh to this where they had the exact same story, but with vendor oppression
00:21:20A common argument the bigots in real life often use is that the oppressed are inventing their oppression or oppressing themselves
00:21:32Hmm
00:21:36For a story is extremely fucking disgusting is extremely fucking disgusting
00:21:41disgusting, especially when you basically especially when you rip your entire fucking
00:22:03So
00:22:20Especially when you rip your entire rip your entire aesthetic aesthetic right from the headlines from the headlines
00:22:32So
00:23:02So
00:23:27An organization an organization against economic inequality that began basically
00:23:32So
00:23:472011 and ended with a
00:23:52Wall street in 2012
00:23:55So
00:24:01This was a serious issue about real this was a serious pro a serious, uh movement about real about issues
00:24:06That have only gotten worse that have only gotten worse since then
00:24:09worse since then since then and so for and so for kora to basically to to take what was what was
00:24:14What was at the time at the time a very present?
00:24:18Oh
00:24:22Movement and turn them into a basically and turn them into into a pack of into a pack of uh,
00:24:30Coordinated thugs organized uh thugs radicalized by radicalized by a
00:24:37By a deceptive con man con man is about as close to actual propaganda as avatar is ever going to get
00:24:44Is bordering on is bordering on actual actual propaganda
00:24:51And worse since then and so for kora to take what was at the time a very present movement and turn them into a pack
00:24:55Of uncoordinated coordinated thugs radicalized by a deceptive con man is bordering on actual propaganda
00:25:05Yep, kora in general seems to be kora like kora as a series
00:25:13Is really again is really uh
00:25:15Is really dead set on supporting the status quo
00:25:18the status quo in all things
00:25:21In all things so any so any push any push to change the status quo the status quo in either direction
00:25:27In either in either direction is either direction is villainized
00:25:34So any push to change the status quo in either direction is villainized
00:25:38Hmm
00:25:40Direction is villainized. This is known as that. This is often known. This is often known as the south as the south park approach
00:25:48Approach to approach to politics both sides and both sides in every issue
00:25:53Actually, no, I wouldn't say south park south park looks at both sides every issue, but they are very much pro cop
00:26:03We don't know how many non-vendors versus vendors there are kind of depends on the nation
00:26:07Like the fire nation is uh, the fire nation has the largest is has the lowest
00:26:11Uh population of vendors whereas the air nomads were all vendors

00:29:17Please welcome your hero your savior
00:29:29Foreign
00:29:35My quest for equality began many years ago
00:29:38When I was a boy my family and I lived on a small farm
00:29:42We weren't rich and none of us were benders
00:29:45This made us very easy targets for the firebender who extorted my father
00:29:50One day my father confronted this man
00:29:53But when he did
00:29:54That firebender took my family from me then
00:29:58He took my face
00:30:00I've been forced to hide behind a mask ever since
00:30:05As you know, nobody recently arrived in republic city
00:30:10And if she were here she would tell you that bending brings balance to the world
00:30:15But she is wrong. The only thing bending has brought to the world is suffering
00:30:20It has been the cause of every war in every era, but that is about to change
00:30:27I know you have been wondering what is the revelation? You are about to get your answer
00:30:34Since the beginning of time the spirits have acted as guardians of our world and they have spoken to me
00:30:41They say the avatar has failed humanity
00:30:44That is why the spirits have chosen me to usher in a new era of balance
00:30:50They have granted me a power that will make equality a reality
00:30:56The power to take a person's bending away
00:31:00permanently
00:31:02That's impossible. There's no way this guy's insane now for a demo
00:31:08They could make a mod more hateable they would speed up his voice make it talk like ben shapiro
00:31:15That'd be funny
00:31:17Hmm
00:31:21Administration, please. Welcome lightning bolt zolt leader of the triple threat triad and one of the most notorious criminals in republic city
00:31:31Ah fool yourself
00:31:37There's bolin wait
00:31:38We can't fight them all we need to be smart about this then come up with a game plan team captain
00:31:43Zolt has amassed a fortune by extorting and abusing non-benders
00:31:48But his reign of terror is about to come to an end
00:31:51Now in the interest of fairness, I will give zolt the chance to fight to keep his bending
00:31:57You're gonna regret doing that pal
00:32:14So
00:32:26What what did you do to me your firebending is gone forever
00:32:34The era of bending is over a new era of equality has begun
00:32:44No
00:32:45Any ideas yet?
00:32:46I think so see those machines
00:32:48They're powered by water and steam if you create some cover I can grab all in without anyone seeing then we dug out of here
00:32:53Works for me mako
00:32:55Good luck you too
00:32:58The worst pokemon shapiro mon, excuse you that is a digimon name
00:33:09Hey you
00:33:14Uh
00:33:18Is there a problem my brother, what are you doing back here, uh looking for the bathroom
00:33:24So
00:33:33Come on
00:33:40Thanks, this should be enough
00:33:43Uh
00:33:51Uh, hello i'm on sir, I think there's been a big misunderstanding
00:34:12Bowling you all right? Yes. I love you
00:34:27Ah
00:34:43Oh
00:34:50You're an earthbender you can't ground yourself
00:34:57You benders need to understand there's no place in the world for you anymore
00:35:06You benders need to understand there's no place in the world for you anymore
00:35:12Hmm
00:35:15I wouldn't count us out just yet. I mean
00:35:30The avatar that's her let her go she's the perfect messenger to tell the city of my power
00:35:43Oh, thank goodness I was just about to send out a search party. Are you all right?
00:35:49Cora what happened?
00:35:51Did you find your friend? Yes, but
00:35:54I was at an equalist rally. I saw aman what he can take people's bending away for good. That's
00:36:00That's impossible. Only the avatar has ever possessed that ability, but I saw him do it
00:36:06I believe you
00:36:07I don't know how aman has achieved this power
00:36:10But this means the revolution is more dangerous than ever no bender is safe
00:36:25Okay
00:36:31It's any push to change the status quo in either direction is any push to change the status quo in either direction is villainized
00:36:36But there isn't but there isn't even a push
00:36:40To
00:36:43Of course cora like this show wants to be political
00:36:47Political but it doesn't want to but it doesn't want to take a stance on anything
00:36:50Take a stance on anything
00:37:10Hmm
00:37:20This show wants to be political, but it doesn't want to take a stance on anything
00:37:24Anything it reminds me ironically. It reminds me reminds me weirdly enough of pokemon black and white weirdly enough of pokemon black and white
00:37:32Of pokemon black and
00:37:35Black and white for the question of for the question of uh of the ethics of ethics of training pokemon is
00:37:42Pokemon is used as a backdrop is used as a backdrop for a basic as a backdrop for
00:37:46For one liar's crusade for one liar's crusade
00:37:55Crusade rather than crusade and i'm left basic and i'm left wondering and i'm left wondering wondering
00:38:00Why did you bring it up? Did you bring it up if you weren't going to discuss it?
00:38:05So
00:38:21Only the avatar can master all four elements and bring balance to the world
00:38:26So
00:38:31Vendors be on alert after coming face to face with aman leader of the equalist avatar
00:38:35Cora discovers a terrifying truth this masked madman has the ability to take away a person's bending permanently
00:38:41Vendors of republic city are counting on their young avatar. But is she prepared to face such a frightening fall?
00:38:49Now it's our guy being uh told all the torment cora's gone through at such a young age like damn she should have been at the lounge
00:38:57Ha ha ha
00:39:00Oh actually

00:41:35There there you are
00:41:37You aren't going to discuss it about the only thing about the only thing they do discuss they do actually discuss
00:41:45Fear of them as chorus fear of amman she gets terrified of this man
00:41:49Of this man very quickly very quickly and it's understandable why
00:41:54Why being the avatar is her entire life being the avatar is her entire life
00:41:58Is her being the avatar is her entire life. It's the one thing. It's the one thing she's always wanted to do
00:42:05She's always wanted to wanted to be
00:42:11I just wanted to do cool fight scenes and had to come up with a makeshift plot for a vessel. Oh, yeah
00:42:19Hmm
00:42:21It's the one thing she's always wanted to be and stuff wanted to be so losing her bending
00:42:24Her bending is a very is a very profound fear for her
00:42:31I actually like this part of the series this part of the season. I actually like this part of the season
00:42:34Is
00:42:48Other carry with any other avatar because no other avatar is so avatar because no other avatar
00:42:54Avatar loved being the avatar avatar the way korra did
00:43:01It's
00:43:02It's all right. Naga
00:43:04I just had a bad dream
00:43:08There is a madman running around our beloved city threatening to tear it apart
00:43:12We need to create a task force whose sole mission is to find amman and bring him to justice
00:43:17Absolutely not a move that aggressive would only further divide benders and non-benders tarlock
00:43:22I'm inclined to agree with your proposal, but who would even hit up such a task force?
00:43:26It would be my honor and privilege to accept such a duty
00:43:30This is just another one of your ploys to gain more power, isn't it?
00:43:33All i'm trying to do is help
00:43:35think back
00:43:3642 years ago republic city was threatened by another dangerous man yacon
00:43:40Your father wasn't afraid to deal with him head-on
00:43:43This is a completely different situation and how dare you compare yourself to avatar ang?
00:43:48Aman is not going to stop with the bending triads
00:43:51Eventually, he will come for all us vendors our friends our families vote for this task force and I will stop him on
00:43:58Before it's too late all in favor
00:44:04Do
00:44:16Good evening my fellow equalists
00:44:18This is your leader amman as you have heard the republic council has voted to make me public enemy number one
00:44:24Proving once again that the bending oppressors of this city will stop at nothing to quash our revolution
00:44:30But we cannot be stopped our numbers grow stronger by the day
00:44:35You no longer have to live in fear
00:44:37The time has come for benders to experience fear
00:44:42So
00:44:55Oh, no, i'm so sorry I didn't see you how could you not see me? I mean I was just uh
00:45:05Uh, one second
00:45:12Now where bolin is basically bolin starts out as a good character as a fun character character and stays there
00:45:18Stays there while mako basically struggles for identity struggles for identity the entire series
00:45:24The entire series asami is somewhere in the middle
00:45:27Somewhere in the middle. She starts out the show
00:45:31In the first season with basically only two things with only two
00:45:34Season with only two with only two traits with only two ko with only two traits two traits, uh, pretty and rich
00:45:40Pretty and rich her basic her sole reason to exist her sole reason to reason to exist is
00:45:47Is to form a love triangle with
00:45:54Is to be an obstacle for between korra and mako by did by by well getting there first
00:46:00First
00:46:06There first and that's not an uncharitable not an uncharitable
00:46:08Charitable read it read of her character read of her character
00:46:11The first season is based the first season exists as I said the first as I said the first season exists in isolation
00:46:18Exists in isolation as this was this was supposed to be a miniseries
00:46:24So in the first season season, this is all all asami is
00:46:28Is
00:46:30I was I I wow
00:46:32That was are you okay? Did I hurt you? Oh, i'm such an idiot. Don't worry. I'm fine
00:46:38My brother hits me harder than that every day in practice

00:47:08I'll see you tomorrow night
00:47:12I've seen some people, uh
00:47:14trying to compose an
00:47:15equalist asami au
00:47:17Though they predominantly do that only for like so the core asami ship has angst
00:47:26I mean asami was supposed to be an equalist fire first. Oh, okay that tracks
00:47:33We are grateful for this delicious food for happiness for compassion and i'm not interrupting sugar mommy
00:47:42We're about to eat dinner good because I am absolutely famished

00:48:29Tenzin i'm getting to that
00:48:32As you may have heard I am assembling a task force that will strike at the heart of the revolution
00:48:37And I want you to join me really what I need someone who will help me attack amman directly
00:48:42Someone who is fearless in the face of danger and that someone is you
00:48:46Join your task force
00:48:49I can't
00:48:58I must admit i'm rather surprised. I thought you
00:49:02I think this is like one of the last shows to really like make use of the suspense of a commercial break
00:49:08Oh, yeah
00:49:12So
00:49:17Jump at the chance to help me lead the charge against amman me too
00:49:21I came to republic city to finish my avatar training with tenzin right now
00:49:24I just need to focus on that which is why this opportunity is perfect
00:49:28You would get on the job experience while performing your avatar duty for the city. Cora gave you her answer. It's time for you to go
00:49:35Very well, but i'm not giving up on you just yet

00:52:13Filled with like this like urge to just press down really hard on the home row keys
00:52:221920s lingo for catalyst psychos zero out of ten never cook again
00:52:27I mean it makes sense for the characters to say that it was the 20s
00:52:31Yeah, the great the great depression hadn't really made everyone just go. Hmm. Yes
00:52:36It's the goblin in you lily. Don't worry

00:53:13Oh, yeah now I remember you saved me from aman. Oh that
00:53:17It was no big deal. No big deal. Are you serious?
00:53:19I was totally freaking out when he was coming at me with this creepy mask all I will take away your bending forever
00:53:24I mean that is scary stuff. I still can't sleep. Well
00:53:27Mm-hmm delivery for avatar cora
00:53:31Tarlok sends his compliments and urges you to reconsider his offer tell him I haven't changed my mind
00:53:37Who's this tarlock guy is he bothering you, huh? Because I could have a word with him
00:53:42No, it's not like that. He's just some old guy who works with tens in on the council. Oh good good
00:53:47That sounds better. I like that better
00:53:50Hmm
00:53:53Maybe a rough up some jerks
00:53:56It's very impressive. Mr. Sato, please call me hiroshi. So I understand you're dirt poor
00:54:03Young man, it is nothing to be ashamed of I too came from humble beginnings
00:54:07Why when I was your age, I was a mere shoe shiner and all I had to my name was an idea the sato mobile
00:54:15Now I was fortunate enough to meet someone who believed in me and my work ethic
00:54:19He gave me the money I needed to get my idea off the ground and I built the entire future industries empire from that one
00:54:25selfless loan
00:54:27Dad, stop bragging
00:54:41What good news well my daughter passionately told me all about your hard-earned success in the pro bending arena and about your team's current
00:54:48Financial stumbling block now i'd hate to see you lose your chance at winning the championship just because you're short a few yuans
00:54:55That's why i'm going to sponsor the fire ferrets in the tournament. Are you serious?
00:54:59He's serious. My dad's going to cover your annie for the championship pot that that is good news
00:55:04There's just one catch you all have to wear the future industries logo on your uniforms
00:55:08I'll tattoo it on my chest if you want sir
00:55:11Thank you both so much. I promise the fire ferrets will make the most of this opportunity
00:55:19We're driving here
00:55:24I think the funny thing about this is like mako spends most of the season one being a sugar baby
00:55:29Oh, yes
00:55:31Like let's let's look let's let's be honest. Let's be fucking honest here. You know, she did the same thing with cora
00:55:37Oh, absolutely. Cora was absolutely a sugar baby during their during their relationship
00:55:43See tarlock's gifts are getting more and more extravagant
00:55:45Yeah, that guy doesn't know how to take no for an answer cora, are you doing all right? Yeah, i'm fine
00:55:53Why don't you take a break?
00:55:55I'm, glad you turned down tarlock, but I just wanted to make sure your decision was for the right reason
00:55:59I'm, just really focused on my airbending right now is all
00:56:03Right. That's what you said
00:56:05You know, it's okay to be scared. The whole city is frightened by what's been going on
00:56:10The important thing is to talk about our fears because if we don't they can throw us out of balance
00:56:20I'm always here for you if you want to talk
00:56:26Avatar cora, I have something for you. It doesn't matter how many gifts tarlock says i'm not on his task force
00:56:33It's not a gift. It's an invitation to what?
00:56:36Tarlock is throwing a gala in your honor. All of republic city's movers and shakers will be there a gala he knew
00:56:45Oh dear
00:56:47The councilman humbly requests your attendance
00:56:54If I was wealthy mckayla would absolutely be a sugar baby
00:56:59I mean given all the shit I buy for her. She already is
00:57:02I'm, not sure what's plotting but keep your guard up
00:57:05I was gonna say I can't support myself. But I mean my rent here is fucking insane
00:57:15I know you can't I just like doing things for you. Oh
00:57:21I appreciate every gift you've ever gotten
00:57:25I'm glad
00:57:30Every night before I go to bed, I get straight for a little kiss. Oh, that's good
00:57:35Speaking of which I can have an operation done next week
00:57:38Oh shit
00:57:40The disc in my back. Oh shit. You're actually getting that done. Nice
00:57:45How is it gonna put
00:57:48We have to stay up for nine or are you gonna be out of commission
00:57:50I'm gonna be in recovery for like maybe I don't know how long honestly, but
00:57:58Okay, so long as it goes well
00:58:04I
00:58:09Y'all are such a couple goals
00:58:11I actually really don't like being called goals. People did that when I was with lizzie while I was being abused. Oh fair enough
00:58:19Well that goes well and you feel good it should
00:58:22No, I was not aware. I uh
00:58:24I ruptured a disc in my back
00:58:26Uh while I was in rochester helping mckay clean up
00:58:29So
00:58:31Two gals, uh, i'd be dragging these two gals on stream as far as fuck away from the poverty line as reasonably possible. Oh
00:58:41That word and that's the word that's in the blacklist now, thank you. Sorry my apologies damn that sucks. Thank you
00:58:58So
00:59:28Hey

00:59:51I wonder
00:59:59Which has actually become a half decent, uh additional revenue stream, oh nice
01:00:18Unless we make small a small amount of money off the process of actually working and keep engaged in my audience. So
01:00:24Nice
01:00:27It's not like him to throw a party just for the fun of it, I love her for you could make it right
01:00:32If you excuse us also
01:00:34He's a fucking slutty with a cinched waist
01:00:37You know, no, that is not a toilet. Oh dear
01:00:40Cora, it is my pleasure to introduce republic city's most famous industrialist hiroshi sato. Nice to meet you
01:00:46I always liked how uh, you know, the fandom doesn't draw her this way way anymore like
01:00:51Jesus fucking christ, but like cora has always smacked sat right in the middle of butch and femme
01:00:57Oh, yeah
01:01:01Hang on a second, let me see. I think somebody actually remarked on this at some point. Let's see
01:01:26Oh
01:01:28We're all expecting great things from you right greatness. Hey cora
01:01:35This is my daughter
01:01:36Asami, it's lovely to meet you mako told me so much about you really because he hasn't mentioned you at all
01:01:42How did you two meet asami crashed into him on her moped? What?
01:01:45Are you okay? I'm fine more than fine. Mr. Sato agreed to sponsor our team. We're back in the tournament
01:01:52Isn't that great? Yeah, terrific
01:01:55Thank you
01:01:56Chief vapor, I believe you and avatar cora have already met just because the city's throwing you this big to do
01:02:01Don't think you're something special. You've done absolutely nothing to deserve this
01:02:17If you'd be so kind they just have a couple questions but
01:02:21Avatar cora you witnessed him on take away people's spending firsthand. How serious a threat does he pose to the innocent citizens of republic city?
01:02:29I think he presents a real problem
01:02:32Then why have you refused to join talak's task force as the avatar? Shouldn't you be going after him on well?
01:02:38I why are you backing away from this fight? What?
01:02:40No, i've never backed away from anything in my life. You promised to serve this city
01:02:44Aren't you going back on that promise now? Do you think propane is more important than fighting the revolution?
01:02:47How do you think avatar ang would have handled this? Are you afraid of him? I'm not afraid of anybody if the city needs me then
01:02:53I'll join talak's task force and help fight him on there's your headline folks
01:03:12My fellow task force deputies tonight we will
01:03:15Okay, where's the thing here
01:03:20Training first it comes off like i'm screwing the charting core, but no she's just terrified of his man
01:03:25The real antagonistic force
01:03:45Is
01:03:46Execute a raid on an underground chi blocker training camp located in the dragon flats borough
01:03:50According to my sources, there is a cellar underneath this bookstore where equalists train cheat locking in secret
01:04:15So
01:04:42I'm going after those two
01:04:45So
01:04:52One second i'm just gonna change this to a window capture
01:05:08Yeah, wait a minute actually that doesn't work never mind
01:05:10So
01:05:17Nice timing, thanks tarlock. We make a good team avatar. Yeah, we do
01:05:30No core for practice again doesn't look like it
01:05:33Hmm
01:05:35Avatar korra has bravely answered the call to action with the two of us leading the charge
01:05:39Republic city has nothing to fear from aman and the equalist question for the avatar aman remains at large
01:05:45Why have you failed to locate him? You want to know why because aman is hiding in the shadows like a coward
01:05:50Aman, I challenge you to a duel no task force
01:05:54No chi blockers just the two of us tonight at midnight on avatar ang memorial island
01:05:59Let's cut to the chase and settle this thing if you're man enough to face me
01:06:08So anyway, that's iron man three, I know it sounds weird to say this but i'm really glad I hit you with my moped
01:06:14Um me too
01:06:15I forgot to ask
01:06:17Why didn't you accept the new silk scarf I bought for you last week?
01:06:20You didn't like it. No, it was really nice. But this scarf was my father's
01:06:24And it's all I have left of him
01:06:27I just feel like
01:06:28Like it keeps me safe. I'm, so sorry
01:06:31I lost my mother when I was very young
01:06:40I feel so safe with you
01:06:44This is crushed like crazy
01:06:46Oh, yeah
01:06:48Korra, this is madness. Don't try to stop me and don't follow me. I have to face him on alone
01:06:52This is all you're doing. I tried to talk her out of it too, but she's made up her mind
01:06:58We'll be watching the island closely if anything goes wrong, I have a fleet of police airships ready to swoop down
01:07:28So
01:07:42Guess you're a no-show amon who's scared now
01:07:59Huh
01:08:17I received your invitation young avatar
01:08:20So
01:08:27Our showdown while inevitable is premature
01:08:31Although it would be the simplest thing for me to take away your bending right now
01:08:35I won't
01:08:36You'd only become a martyr
01:08:38Then there's of every nation would rally behind your untimely demise
01:08:42But I assure you I have a plan
01:08:45And i'm saving you for last
01:08:48Then you'll get your duel and I will destroy you
01:09:05Hey korra
01:09:07Korra, are you? All right? What happened? Was amon here?
01:09:10Yeah
01:09:11He ambushed me. Did he did he take your bending away?
01:09:15Okay
01:09:17No, i'm, okay. Oh, thank goodness
01:09:23I was so terrified. I felt so helpless. It's all right. The nightmare is over you
01:09:31You were right. I've been scared this whole time. I've never felt like this before and
01:09:37I don't know what to do
01:09:40Admitting your fears is the first and most difficult step in overcoming them
01:09:55That's not it
01:10:09So
01:10:39Hmm
01:10:53Much of her character is about it's about enthusiastically
01:10:57being the avatar avatar avatar and a villain who a villain who could take away her bending take away her bending is probably the
01:11:06Personal antagonist she could have
01:11:10She could have ironically ironically fighting amon teaches her more
01:11:14More about how the avatar
01:11:23Elemental karate master than most of the other characters do
01:11:26So
01:11:37Oh fuck I lost my place, uh, let's this
01:11:44Saw her in seclusion keeping her from going
01:11:56Hmm
01:12:12Which is sad because when you know because korra is better because korra better face a better deals with adversity
01:12:17Deals with adversity when that adversity when that adversity adversity isn't just physical violence
01:12:23Physical
01:12:25violence violence
01:12:26Half the first season deals with korra's profound fear of losing her bending and given how much of her
01:12:29Character is about enthusiastically being the avatar a villain who could take away her bending
01:12:33Bending is probably the best personal antagonist
01:12:35She could have ironically fighting amon teaches her more about how the avatar is more than just an elemental karate master
01:12:39Than most of the other characters do in that same season
01:12:52Um
01:13:00This thing is serialized like crazy so like one episode in particular doesn't give you more
01:13:05That is true and master all four elements
01:13:09About my leave of absence. Hey, you joined the fire ferrets before you joined this task force. Okay, come on team huddle time
01:13:14Um
01:13:21Um
01:13:22It's our first match of the tournament tonight
01:13:23I know the three of us haven't been a team for very long, but even so the fire ferrets have never been this good
01:13:28Are we ready? We're ready. Not quite
01:13:30You'll need these. Hey asami. Good morning, sweetie
01:13:34These new uniforms look great. You look great champ
01:13:39Well teammates
01:13:40I'll see you before the match tonight asami and I have a lunch date
01:13:43Okay, we'll check you guys later, you know, we'll see you when we see you
01:13:48Oh
01:13:49Cora there they go
01:13:51Here we are all alone in the gym
01:13:54Just you and me
01:13:55two alone people
01:13:57together
01:13:59alone, uh
01:14:01I gotta head back to the air temple to train with tenzin. See ya
01:14:03Um
01:14:12Right
01:14:14so
01:14:15What do you think of cora in a girlfriend sort of way?
01:14:18She's great
01:14:19But I think it makes more sense for me to go for asami
01:14:21I was talking about a girlfriend for me leave some ladies for the rest of us. I know it's what I thought you meant
01:14:27Well, I don't know about it doesn't seem like a good idea for you to date cora
01:14:30You just said she was great two seconds ago
01:14:32Yeah, cora's a great athlete an avatar and stuff, but I don't know if she's really girlfriend material
01:14:37She's more like a pal bro. You're nuts. Cora and I are perfect for each other. She's strong. I'm strong. She's fun
01:14:43I'm fun. She's beautiful. I'm gorgeous
01:14:46Okay, I don't care what you think i'm gonna ask cora out look it just isn't smart to date a teammate
01:14:50Especially during the tournament keep your head out of the clouds and your priorities straight. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, I know girl
01:14:56You know i'm talking about pabu
01:14:58Talking about real love
01:15:07I got all of a sudden out of nowhere. Mako's torn between cora and asami spending a lot of time together lately
01:15:12Oh, yeah
01:15:13Tell us all about the magical romance what?
01:15:17Listen to you two. I'm not interested in mako or any romantic stuff besides. He's all into that prissy beautiful elegant rich girl
01:15:24But let's just pretend for a second. I am interested in him. What would I do?
01:15:28Oh, I just read a historical saga where the heroine fell in love with the enemy general's son who was supposed to marry the princess
01:15:34You should do what she did. Tell me she wrote a dragon
01:15:38The fuck are you reading revised fire nation history? Oh god. She probably is
01:15:42Is
01:15:52Oh, they out here reading enemies to lovers crap burn it. Yeah, that really does reek of zutara fanfiction, doesn't it?
01:15:59Sounds like it would
01:16:04Come on webtoon has given us some pretty good stuff. There's don there's dom and more and that's it
01:16:10Yeah, there's dom and more there's
01:16:15I mean, come on webtoons has brought us plenty of amazing stories like dom and more and so anyway
01:16:22Like dom and more and
01:16:28So cora joins, uh joins the team for the match
01:16:33Oh
01:16:35I'm i'm regretting the zutara comparison. Oh
01:16:40Where the heroine falls in love with the enemy general's son who was supposed to marry the princess
01:16:45Oh
01:16:46No, that's probably a fic out there. Oh, absolutely
01:17:00Specifically written to piss off that one anti-zutara blog
01:17:04Uh
01:17:09That went bad so bad implying it was ever not bad
01:17:23Asami father is evil. He's working with the eagle. It's over there already
01:17:33Um
01:17:41Wait, what did she say I missed it
01:17:45Historical saga where the heroine fell in love with the enemy general's son who was supposed to marry the princess
01:17:50You should do what she did. Tell me she rode a dragon into battle and burned down the entire country
01:17:55Then she jumped into a volcano. It was so romantic
01:17:58Uh, no, no, no
01:18:00the best way to win a boy's heart is to brew a love potion of rainbows and sunsets that makes true lovers sprout wings and
01:18:04Fly to a magical castle in the sky where they get married and eat clouds of spoons and use stars as ice cubes in their moonlight
01:18:08Punch forever and ever and ever the volcano. So she's been reading harry potter to me now
01:18:14Oh, hey emma
01:18:16Uh, how long were you standing there?
01:18:19Long enough, but trust me. I know what you're going through years ago
01:18:23I was in the exact same situation with tenzin. Daddy was in love with someone else before you that's right
01:18:28So what did you do? Well for the longest time I did nothing. I was so shy like how her hair is graying at 35
01:18:35Oh
01:18:36dear
01:18:38That's three airbending children in the avatar for you
01:18:40Oof, but watching my soulmate spend his life with the wrong woman became too painful
01:18:45So I hung my chin out there and I confessed my love to tenzin and the rest is history
01:18:52Oh
01:18:56Folks after a year of waiting pro bending championship tournament is finally here
01:19:01Tonight is the first set of matches in our single elimination 16 team bracket
01:19:05And I gotta tell you these are the most tenacious and talented bending trios. This arena has never seen
01:19:10introducing our first team
01:19:13the future industries fire parrots
01:19:18And their opponents the red sands
01:19:23Oh
01:19:28What an explosive opening product both teams quickly recover and unleash a mirage of bending
01:19:32I am astonished with the level of improvement displayed here by the fire ferret
01:19:35No wonder the avatar has been absent from the papers lately
01:19:38She's obviously had her nose to the grindstone in the gym
01:19:40The ferrets advance into ravaroo territory and are holding nothing back. Nice sprawl there by mako falling strikes
01:19:46And all three ravaroos are down the fire ferrets easily take round one
01:19:51Round two the ravaroos are looking for payback and they go straight after bolin
01:19:55Tora comes to his defense and she waddles back into zone two
01:19:59The ferrets are on fire tonight and they win round two round three
01:20:04With the ravaroos down two rounds, they'll need a knockout to win and with the way the fire ferrets are playing
01:20:08I don't see that happening
01:20:12These ferrets are working together like a well-oiled bending machine
01:20:15Hot
01:20:17Bolin bashes oddy into zone two and the ferrets get the green light to advance
01:20:21The ravaroos are just fighting to stay on their feet at this point
01:20:36Wow, we were really connecting out there in that ring
01:20:39Yeah, you know, I feel like the two of us have been connecting really well out of the ring, too
01:20:42Um sure so I was thinking we should spend some time together
01:20:46We've been spending lots of time together. I mean outside of the gym and not while searching for kidnapped family members or fighting cheap walkers
01:20:52I don't know
01:20:53Asami and I look I really like you and I think we were meant for each other
01:20:59Cora i'm really sorry, but I just don't feel the same way about you forget i've ever said anything
01:21:07Congratulations, man. I would just love for like a show to like
01:21:10Just have one of the characters just goes like I really like you I think we should be together
01:21:14And then they just go like, okay
01:21:19That'd be great
01:21:20Women in the main hit the main cast when casting one of the most in one of the most soulless
01:21:25Love triangles i've ever seen triangles i've ever seen
01:21:28I've ever seen I mean look usually in love triangles love triangles. There's at least
01:21:33there's at least a con a conflict like a conflict but pretty much but the
01:21:40People actually
01:21:42Someone's conflict or you know, someone's someone's stuck in the middle in the middle unable to make a decision unable to make a decision
01:21:49decision but here they're really they're
01:21:52Isn't core is attract core is attracted to mako just because mako just because because then mako
01:21:59Mako gets with asami with asami and then he's just
01:22:04Out of the out of the blue one day out of the blue one day one day has feeling and then he just out of the blue
01:22:08One day has feelings for korra
01:22:11feelings for korra and ends up
01:22:15Stuck deciding between the two stuck deciding between the two
01:22:19Between the two at no point just
01:22:22At no point is there any at no point does it feel like feel like there's actually a
01:22:29Anything developing between them
01:22:32between the two and
01:22:34And mako's relationship with asami is no better with asami is no better better
01:22:38She runs into him runs. She runs into him takes him to dinner
01:22:42To dinner gets him sponsored gets him sponsored and then and then I feel so safe with you
01:22:50With you when did that fucking happen?
01:22:55Distant when did that happen?
01:23:00At no point does it feel like there's actually anything developing between them
01:23:04Okay
01:23:10It feels like it feels like a boulders gate three romance basic
01:23:14three romance layer out of the blue where out of the blue that just
01:23:18blue characters are just like
01:23:20Just like so I feel like this so I feel like there's been something
01:23:24It's been something building between us
01:23:26Between us and you're like when did that fucking happen? When the fuck did that happen?
01:23:30It
01:23:32Feels like a boulders gate three romance right out of the blue characters are like so I feel like there's been something building between us
01:23:36And you're like when the fuck did that happen?
01:23:39Like even something is even something as simple as as simple and shallow as
01:23:44Shallow is shallow as you're hot wanna come out
01:23:48You're hot want to go out
01:23:50Go out would be better than it would be better than this this actually actually there actually there is
01:23:55Actually, that's exactly the rapport
01:23:58The rapport that uh
01:24:01That bolin that bolin has with cora
01:24:05Bolin is attracted is attracted to to her because well, I mean look at her. Well, I mean fucking look at her
01:24:12Look at her then they become friends then they become friends
01:24:17And through that is like that is like i'm gonna try
01:24:22And then through that and then through that is invested is invested in spending time with her
01:24:26spending time with her and getting to know her getting to know her know her and then wants to and then is like
01:24:31And then decides he's gonna ask then decides he's going to ask her out
01:24:34Ask her out. It's the most natural. It's the most natural progression of a progression of
01:24:41Of initial attraction to
01:24:44To romance the entire franchise has had
01:24:52He looks like a humanized litan
01:24:57Oh fuck
01:25:03Not even in center or just fucking litan, yeah
01:25:14Horrible that's a horrible image. How dare you?
01:25:17So
01:25:22Natural progression of initial attraction to romance the entire franchise has had granted this was a problem
01:25:26This was a problem pretty much in the habit problem with with the original series with the original series with the original series like even
01:25:33the most the the most the the best written relationship
01:25:37relationship in that series series was saka and suki and
01:25:41Hang on
01:25:43The romance in this show just in this show just carries a just carries this feeling of inevitability
01:25:48inevitability
01:25:50ability, and I think that's because and I think that's because
01:25:53That's because the original because the original series had series had such a vitriolic
01:25:58Vitriolic had such a vitriolic shipping war
01:26:02Shipping war that still goes on to this fucking day still goes on to this day
01:26:06Hmm
01:26:08That's to the point where zutara is just probably the the it's probably the what the zuko ship that
01:26:13That most people just utterly despise the most entirely because of how toxic its audience is which is impressive when you think about it
01:26:21Honestly
01:26:35Hmm well number two is nothing to sneeze at
01:26:52That's what it's probably the it's like that still goes on to this day
01:27:00Saka and suki and even that and even that felt like
01:27:05Hmm
01:27:10It was thrown it was thrown in there
01:27:11the two of them are just basically the two of them are the only ones uh are the only ones who
01:27:15Who are together for most of the shit for most of the show?
01:27:17Most of the show so they have so things have to be done with them have to be done with them with them other than
01:27:24Other than dancing around each other around each other romance is always good like pretty much even you know
01:27:30Even even barely written romance even barely written romance is a lot better
01:27:34It's a lot better when you get to spend time with it to spend time with it past its point of uh, it's pointed
01:27:40past its point of
01:27:50Yeah, please don't refer to my sister as orchard
01:27:54Even barely written romance is a lot better when you get to spend time with it past its point of past its point of commencement
01:27:59Right
01:28:01Side character romance usually superior to main character romance. No, that's not true
01:28:05There's there's reasons why that often happens and that are more than just it's a side character
01:28:10right
01:28:11Taking uh taking critical shortcuts like that is how we end up with like everything sucking now
01:28:22But katara and ang's relationship basically came out of nowhere came out of nowhere nowhere and the two and barely and was barely acknowledged
01:28:29Acknowledged until the last few until the last few episodes
01:28:34Until the last few episodes until the last few episodes
01:28:43This show just carries the feeling this carries the romance in this show just carries this feeling of inevitability
01:28:48I think that's because the original series has such a vitriolic shipping war that still goes on to the goes on to this day
01:28:52I mean look you don't have to you don't have to have to have character
01:28:56You don't have to have kids like characters don't have to have chemistry for bit
01:28:59Characters don't have to have chemistry
01:29:02Chemistry for audiences to base audiences to get invested in them to get invested in them
01:29:06In them as a relationship. Hell they barely have to interact
01:29:10have to
01:29:12interact avatar's fandom is basically avatar's fandom has had a 20 year year long shipping war between between katara between
01:29:22Between katara and ang and katara and zuko
01:29:25And zuko in spite of the fact in spite of the fact that basically that katara and zuko base interact for about
01:29:32For about 12 for about for about 35 seconds
01:29:3735 seconds in total before the southern raiders southern raiders and katara basically only gets on
01:29:44Gets on good terms with him terms with him two episodes before the finale
01:29:47Um
01:29:52Lumity chaggy and harlevy would beg to differ. Yep
01:29:59See like the reason is is because a lot of people both for straight and gay relationships
01:30:03They still view the start of a relationship as the point where the story ends
01:30:09Yeah, which
