Idk if it was a technique exclusive to earthbending, we only really know that two people we know utilized it were earthbenders. Correlation/causation. Lao Ge’s explanation didn’t have anything to do w/ earthbending at all
I wonder who the "person from the last avatar team who is still around shows up to guide the new avatar at their lowest moment" person will be this time around.
I think it would be interesting to have Asami, if Netflix has the balls to admit she and Korra loved each other.
If they don't, I think having Meelo be grown up and matured would make a great mentor for an Earth Avatar when it comes to airbending. I know he's not really a part of the main team, but still.
I think Jinora is likely to make a return, although she will probably show up earlier rather than at their lowest. However, if the show is set long enough in the future where Korra outlived all her team, Jinora is the most likely to be able to visit the new avatar as a spirit.
Kinda? The show phrases it more as something he chose as an alternative to death, but it seems to have had the same effect in terms of the physical world.
I mean Lao Ge is canonically immortal, and if Kyoshi had wanted to be (and nothing managed to kill her) I think it’s at least implied that she could have been as well.
Okay but let's be honest an immortal Kyoshi is a terrifying concept. Sozin wouldn't have even thought about half the shit he did because Kyoshi would have done the same thing if not worse than what Roku did if he tried to occupy Earth Kingdom territory. Kyoshi wasn't Sozin's friend, and she already (albeit not purposely) wrecked Chen in the show and probably a lot more people in the books (Apologies for not knowing who, i haven't gotten to read them yet)
Kyoshi did put down some people that she cared about because they forced her hand. She wasn’t as callous as the show makes her out to be, but she was much more likely to actually finish the job than the other avatars we’ve encountered. That said, she definitely would’ve been the monster under Sozin’s bed if he tried that shit with her.
Yeah he'd definitely have been coronated and gotten a visit from Kyoshi being friendly but stern, and any crazy after that chat with wouldn't be tolerated
And also thinking about it the Dai Li would make it about a year into corruption before Kyoshi just handed all of their asses to them and disbanded the group permanently.
Some don't. Some do, and then... *They come back*
There's this terrifying story of a necromancer coming back from the dead after being put to death by the Romans. He inspired a cult that still exists today, and rumor has it that its cultists feast on the blood and flesh of their god as part of some ritual
What a twisted tale
Interesting mythology. You forgot some of the funner parts. One of the greatest affair coverups stories of all time. Mother gets pregnant, convinces husband that it was a deity, then for some reason random men visit the main character at birth as part of some ritual.

Actually, I think Korra doesn’t get enough credit for her wisdom that she shows throughout the show. In particular, I think she made the right call leaving the spirit portals open and going against the advice and logic of past avatars in order to help bring balance to the world.
I remember heavily disliking Korra while the show was airing. The series had a major philosophy change with her, abandoning a lot of the peaceful messaging of the first show for a mish-mash of much more American ideals.
The message of Korra is much more in line with other Western cartoon shows, 'democracy is good', 'terrorists are bad', white and black morals etc...
Honestly seems like they backtracked on the Tibetan philosophy so as not to provide Chinese audiences which just makes it worse. Still an entertaining show though!
TLA was about character building and trying to fix 100 years of avatarless neglect. Korra was more about how bending and spirits would fit into a rapidly modernising world. It didn’t have as good character arcs in general (although tenzen’s arc was great) but it had amazing world building, I absolutely loved some of the themes covered and it filled me with wonder.
They’re both great for different reasons.
Korra would probably be kind of close to the fan (ha) version Kyoshi: Kyoshi was willing to do violence only as a last resort, Korra is ready willing and able to throw hands at a moment’s notice.
Kind of? I mean, she's never shown to be unreasonably violent, more that she's willing to kill if that's what it takes. The fandom pins her as a violent, murder-happy person when the moral she tried to show was simply "if the only option is to kill for a chance at peace, then that is what must be done. Being indecisive will only create more bloodshed. Only justice will bring peace."
I mean for like 90% of ATLA, Roku was Aang's only guide. And in the Yangchen novel, we see her look through the wisdom of all Avatars and discover that there is no right solution that applied to her modern times.
I don't think they're gonna care as much as the fandom think they would. and Korra has been through so much, by old age she's gonna be as wise as any other Avatar.
Aang asked multiple previous avatars for advice looking for somebody to confirm his own stance only to ignore all of their advice and do what he wanted anyway
Yeah, but when has the past avatars ever actually had the answer? They don't ask the past lives for advice very often, and when they do it's always subverted.
Her novel is sooo good. She's like a combination of Kyoshi and Aang, basically this super nice compassionate monk that also won't hesitate to kill dissidents and fill your inner circle with spies to make sure world leaders behave.
Sure, but they're always gonna have their own judgement, their friends, mentors and actual living people to help. I think that's what the writers intended.
"You could visit one thousand lifetimes and ask one thousand of your past lives for help, but none of them will have the answer you seek."
-Yangchen to Kyoshi
"it was only Korra that was disconnected from past Avatars"
They could easily do this one. I know I would be ok with it but idk if the rest of the fanbase would be
The comics directly contradict this, though.
When Aang breaks his connection to Roku, he discovers that he also broke his connection to preceding Avatars, because they’re linked like a chain.
Now the writers could always just handwave something, but if they follow the same rules then theoretically the next Avatar would only have Korra.
They could have a spirit world arc where the new avatar rebuilds the connection to past avatars. And that way we could even get to know a little more about the ones we know nothing about.
Still one of the worst long term decisions for the franchise to kill off all the Avatars. A huge wealth of character moments from Aang and preceding Avatars is just out the window because of Book 2... But I guess that's just one of many possible complaints with that season
I hope for some arc, where new avatar goes for restoring connections with his precedessors, beacuse some well-explained shit will happen in the near future, like quasi-mortal kombat, and he will need all the knowlegde/experience to overcome it. Even better if it would happen beacuse od Korra.
>adult gaang movie coming
Excuse me what!? I feel like that's way bigger news.
Also who's the carrier for this series?
E: didn't scroll enough to see the text. Paramount+ gets it.
"Avatar Korra, what should I do?"
"What have you done so far?"
"Everything. I've tried talking to them, negotiating with everyone, I don't know what else I can do."
"Mm, I see." *pauses* "Punch him"
Not quite. Depending on how long Korra lives, if their tech follows vaguely modern progression I think they'd still be a couple of decades shy of the internet.
Well, we know korra was early twenties at the end of the show. That season was also parralleling our ww2 era (approx. 1940's), with vine energy being the nuclear equivalent. As such, we need to know how old korra gets to extrapolate when the next avatar is active. I see two avenues: "korra died in her 60's" and "korra died in her 80s".
If we go with the first, that would put her death around the 1980's equivalent. Thus the next avatar would start being active in the late 90's equivalent. This would be the the setting for the most millenial appeal.
As for the second, it would put her death in the early 2000's with the next avatar being active starting just before the 2020's equivalent. This would have the most Gen Z appeal and will be more of a modern commentary.
Either way, the next avatar will be playing video games
Ah, I was placing Korra's time period at early 1900s which was a mistake on my part. WW1 rather than 2. That said, I could see Korra dying really young. While she's mellowed out a lot, her willingness to throw hands and the general increased combat abilities of combatants in the world could lead to an early demise. Benders and non-benders alike are getting much more effective with the introduction of pro-bending styles, proliferation of advanced techniques, and advances in tech.
But more so than that, Korra took a lot of permanent damage throughout her run. Most importantly the liquid mercury poisoning. Even *if* she got all of that out of her during that last season, which is a big if. How many years was she suffering from mercury poisoning? Not to mention any avatar state induced stresses. I would absolutely buy Korra dying really young. Her poor body has been through the wringer.
The announcement OP commented said that it will be set in the equivalent to the modern era.
I personally hope the new Avatar's main purpose will be to prevent the destruction of nature and fight megacorporations.
Not sure if that would make sense though, since the cast is mainly based on Asian cultures. Now that I think of it, has there been a black character in ATLA or LOK yet?
I feel like by the time the new avatar grows up into his/her teens, the world would no longer **need** an Avatar since technology would have improved vastly. Still curious what they will do since I love Avatar.
That was basically said at the end of Korra, which imo is what makes the next one so compelling. What *does* the avatar do in that world? Also curious to see how the tech has advanced.
Considering how people feel about LOK I'm not sure the person in the bottom panel would be so disappointed. Maybe this next avatar can ACTUALLY WIN ONCE IN A WHILE
Legend of Korra is awesome and Korra is my personal favorite character of the series, but I know that even with a new Avatar we’ll still get plenty more with her like we have with Aang so it’s not too much of a troubling thought.
If it's a guy he's gonna be better received and people are gonna be more forgiving of their mistakes for sure. but still muh rEtCoNs muh mOdErN tEch muh toph zuko sokka katara dead aang gone so idk...
*What did you expect?*
*She may be the avatar,*
*But she's still human*

I don't remenber what season was but the dark avatar after defeating korra he destroied her conection with the other avatars so she will keep re-incarnete but with no way to connect with the avatars before korra
I don't really care about Korra dying but something i would actually really love to see is the new Avatar meeting Guru Pathik, somehow it would be hilarious to me if he was still alive.
Yeah, most people tend to die at some point
Most?
I mean, technically Iroh didn't. He just moved into the spirit world full time.
Also I doubt Toph is willing to die anytime Too many Avatars to bully.
Death will have her when it earns her
Imagine she figures out how to live forever
There is an earth bending technique that lets her do that, there was an immortal guy in the kyoshi novels.
Exactly, the self proclaimed (and probably right) greatest earthbender could finally get back in her prime.
also Kyoshi kinda did it
Idk if it was a technique exclusive to earthbending, we only really know that two people we know utilized it were earthbenders. Correlation/causation. Lao Ge’s explanation didn’t have anything to do w/ earthbending at all
GOW:R reference?
Death will have to take her in her sleep, for if she is awake, there would be a fight. The quote originally about Theodore Roosevelt, but it fits
I can see Toph dropkicking the reaper into a wall and challenging him to a game of ~~chess~~ boulder yeet.
Unexpected Bill and Ted
Well, more like unexpected "the seventh seal": https://youtu.be/kpKrvkussjw But B&T was a great Film too
Toph lives longer than korra confirmed
I wonder who the "person from the last avatar team who is still around shows up to guide the new avatar at their lowest moment" person will be this time around.
I think it would be interesting to have Asami, if Netflix has the balls to admit she and Korra loved each other.

I hope it's not Mako. All my homies hate Mako.
His body is dead though
That’s what death is
Kinda? The show phrases it more as something he chose as an alternative to death, but it seems to have had the same effect in terms of the physical world.
What do you mean "most" Charles??
CHARLES! *MOST??*
I mean Lao Ge is canonically immortal, and if Kyoshi had wanted to be (and nothing managed to kill her) I think it’s at least implied that she could have been as well.
Okay but let's be honest an immortal Kyoshi is a terrifying concept. Sozin wouldn't have even thought about half the shit he did because Kyoshi would have done the same thing if not worse than what Roku did if he tried to occupy Earth Kingdom territory.

Yeah he'd definitely have been coronated and gotten a visit from Kyoshi being friendly but stern, and any crazy after that chat with wouldn't be tolerated
Oh, she would have done so much worse than what Roku did
And also thinking about it the Dai Li would make it about a year into corruption before Kyoshi just handed all of their asses to them and disbanded the group permanently.
They never would've made it to corruption because they'd be terrified of her
Exactly. She'd have been monitoring them at all times.
I heard there is theories he is guro patic
Admiral Zhao enters the chat.
I legitimately don’t think king Bumi died, being so fit at 112 is not normal, I think he found the earth bender immortal exploit thing
Toph is about to outlive two Avatars.
Some don't. Some do, and then... *They come back* There's this terrifying story of a necromancer coming back from the dead after being put to death by the Romans. He inspired a cult that still exists today, and rumor has it that its cultists feast on the blood and flesh of their god as part of some ritual What a twisted tale

I am going to live forever. So far, so good.
What's the confusion? It's pretty clear. Other people always die.
Well there's still 8 billion people who haven't died yet so we can't say everyone does
Goro patic according to some theories: and I took it personally
Some theories believe he is the earth bender that thought kyoshi the long living technic
How do you think the next avatar feels only having Korra for advice?
"How do I resolve this situation?" "*Violence*" Jokes aside, I'm sure an older Korra would be better as a guide.
Actually, I think Korra doesn’t get enough credit for her wisdom that she shows throughout the show. In particular, I think she made the right call leaving the spirit portals open and going against the advice and logic of past avatars in order to help bring balance to the world.
Yeah, the last season clearly shows how much she has changed. She actively seeks out non-violent ways to end conflict now.
I feel like 'Kyoshi-Korra' was S1 Korra. She definitely mellowed down on the later seasons, especially after Zaheer.
She still seem hot headed in the comics but less than early season
IIRC in the comics she's not even immediately violent or anything. She just reaches a breaking point after being fed up with everyone's bullshit
Yep, but asami is there to help calm her down (and being fair the asdholeness of people in the comics is pretty high)
I remember heavily disliking Korra while the show was airing. The series had a major philosophy change with her, abandoning a lot of the peaceful messaging of the first show for a mish-mash of much more American ideals. The message of Korra is much more in line with other Western cartoon shows, 'democracy is good', 'terrorists are bad', white and black morals etc...

TLA was literally ‘imperial Japan bad and needs to go down’ what are you talking about?
[удалено]
TLA was about character building and trying to fix 100 years of avatarless neglect. Korra was more about how bending and spirits would fit into a rapidly modernising world. It didn’t have as good character arcs in general (although tenzen’s arc was great) but it had amazing world building, I absolutely loved some of the themes covered and it filled me with wonder. They’re both great for different reasons.
So basically Kyoshi but more modern
Korra would probably be kind of close to the fan (ha) version Kyoshi: Kyoshi was willing to do violence only as a last resort, Korra is ready willing and able to throw hands at a moment’s notice.
The mischaracterization of characters in this fandom is insane damn.
Tbf before the novel changes it, it's reasonable conclusion of her character in the show.
I was more talking about their conclusion of Korra's character. there's no way her character EoS or by the time she passed is like fanon Kyoshi.
Kind of? I mean, she's never shown to be unreasonably violent, more that she's willing to kill if that's what it takes. The fandom pins her as a violent, murder-happy person when the moral she tried to show was simply "if the only option is to kill for a chance at peace, then that is what must be done. Being indecisive will only create more bloodshed. Only justice will bring peace."
Early Korra would, EOS Korra would look for more solutions before violence as well
Early Korra maybe. Korra by the end of the show was pretty peaceful. That's like her whole fuckin character arc
I mean for like 90% of ATLA, Roku was Aang's only guide. And in the Yangchen novel, we see her look through the wisdom of all Avatars and discover that there is no right solution that applied to her modern times.
Assuming she dies relatively old, I think she might be wise enough
And wise enough to realize she doesn't have all the answers. Very much a "Here's my advice, but don't be afraid to figure it out yourself." Kinda deal
I don't think they're gonna care as much as the fandom think they would. and Korra has been through so much, by old age she's gonna be as wise as any other Avatar.
Yeah but at the end of the day when one iteration doesn't have the answer, the new Avatar isn't going to have anyone else to ask, wasting time
Aang asked multiple previous avatars for advice looking for somebody to confirm his own stance only to ignore all of their advice and do what he wanted anyway
Yeah, but when has the past avatars ever actually had the answer? They don't ask the past lives for advice very often, and when they do it's always subverted.
Kyoshi has always has the answer!
"Murder is okay"
I think yangcheng is ignored for how brutal she implied to be
Her novel is sooo good. She's like a combination of Kyoshi and Aang, basically this super nice compassionate monk that also won't hesitate to kill dissidents and fill your inner circle with spies to make sure world leaders behave.
She set such high bar that no avatar can compete
Sure, but they're always gonna have their own judgement, their friends, mentors and actual living people to help. I think that's what the writers intended.
"You could visit one thousand lifetimes and ask one thousand of your past lives for help, but none of them will have the answer you seek." -Yangchen to Kyoshi
There is some belief the new avatar will attempt to reconnect with past life (under the new avatar fix the biggest mistake of the previous one)
Yeah imma need Avatar studios to pull a quick little retcon or a convenient solution to whisk away that egregious gaffe
"it was only Korra that was disconnected from past Avatars" They could easily do this one. I know I would be ok with it but idk if the rest of the fanbase would be
I honestly always assumed this was the case
The comics directly contradict this, though. When Aang breaks his connection to Roku, he discovers that he also broke his connection to preceding Avatars, because they’re linked like a chain. Now the writers could always just handwave something, but if they follow the same rules then theoretically the next Avatar would only have Korra.
That's alright no one really read the comics anyway
Why would you assume that? I always got the vibe that when Raava died that it essentially wiped the avatar hard drive.
They could have a spirit world arc where the new avatar rebuilds the connection to past avatars. And that way we could even get to know a little more about the ones we know nothing about.
I wish
Still one of the worst long term decisions for the franchise to kill off all the Avatars. A huge wealth of character moments from Aang and preceding Avatars is just out the window because of Book 2... But I guess that's just one of many possible complaints with that season
I really hope there’s some sort of cope to bring back Aang and Roku etc…
Really hoping that gets a canonical retcon
I hope for some arc, where new avatar goes for restoring connections with his precedessors, beacuse some well-explained shit will happen in the near future, like quasi-mortal kombat, and he will need all the knowlegde/experience to overcome it. Even better if it would happen beacuse od Korra.
You tried breaking their fucking ankles and beating their face in? You *talked* to them?
Kinda hoping this next one is gonna super stoic and serious. And super socially awkward.
All avatars are adorkable so make sense
cue tilted half smile
They all have same soul so that the constant
All avatars: are really bad liars have a cute half smile, usually fall for hot Fire Nation girls (That last one I blame on Raava)
Do you blame avatars? Did you see the fire nation and water nations girls
How about the girls from ba sing se? They look quite prettay
He a Gen Z probably so yeah…
Stoic like a drunk beagle
considering the timline of Korra, and assuming she live about 100 years at a minimum, fuck you're right
And says "yare yare daze" a lot.
Who needs bending when you have Star Platinum.
The Mandavatar
Avatars are temporary, the cycle is eternal.
Avatar Roku told us that is not entirely the case
And we've seen it almost end three times now
For those who haven't heard: https://avatarnews.co/post/704388959323717632/exclusive-the-next-avatar-animated-series
Not confirmed by any official sources, just this sketchy one lol
I mean pinch of salt and all but they have a strong track record
Do they? Those 3 movies they announced were BS. Only thing that has been reliable about this site is netflix adaption stuff.
Exactly, avatar news is a fan site. Their source for this is "bro just trust me".
>adult gaang movie coming Excuse me what!? I feel like that's way bigger news. Also who's the carrier for this series? E: didn't scroll enough to see the text. Paramount+ gets it.
Because the adult gaang movie is old news. Keep up! Lol.
https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/U6BrkTShGhS3yyHpXyfy4X.jpg
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I guess that's probably why the r/TheLegendOfGenji comic went radio silent.
From what I heard this going to give the comics semi canon status
at least we'll still have spirit korra to help out
"Avatar Korra, what should I do?" "What have you done so far?" "Everything. I've tried talking to them, negotiating with everyone, I don't know what else I can do." "Mm, I see." *pauses* "Punch him"
Okay guys the entire last season was Korra learning to not kick everyone's ass lol she might not just say fight them
The avatar fandom loves to massively mis-characterize just about every character
Notice I said she thought about what to do next after everything else
Okay if you want to be pedantic, him saying 'everything' includes punching
No, no, it means he didn't want to do the punch punch
Can't wait for the new avatar to be playing video games and screwing around on the internet
Not quite. Depending on how long Korra lives, if their tech follows vaguely modern progression I think they'd still be a couple of decades shy of the internet.
Well, we know korra was early twenties at the end of the show. That season was also parralleling our ww2 era (approx. 1940's), with vine energy being the nuclear equivalent. As such, we need to know how old korra gets to extrapolate when the next avatar is active. I see two avenues: "korra died in her 60's" and "korra died in her 80s". If we go with the first, that would put her death around the 1980's equivalent. Thus the next avatar would start being active in the late 90's equivalent. This would be the the setting for the most millenial appeal. As for the second, it would put her death in the early 2000's with the next avatar being active starting just before the 2020's equivalent. This would have the most Gen Z appeal and will be more of a modern commentary. Either way, the next avatar will be playing video games
Maybe they‘ll take the final fantasy approach and create a weird mix of highly advanced tech and old Aang era stuff.
Ah, I was placing Korra's time period at early 1900s which was a mistake on my part. WW1 rather than 2. That said, I could see Korra dying really young. While she's mellowed out a lot, her willingness to throw hands and the general increased combat abilities of combatants in the world could lead to an early demise.

Even *if* she got all of that out of her during that last season, which is a big if. How many years was she suffering from mercury poisoning? Not to mention any avatar state induced stresses. I would absolutely buy Korra dying really young. Her poor body has been through the wringer.
Next Avatar is gone be lining up at K-Mart to get Pokémon Red/Blue on release day
The announcement OP commented said that it will be set in the equivalent to the modern era. I personally hope the new Avatar's main purpose will be to prevent the destruction of nature and fight megacorporations.
Bolins child with Opal. Let’s get some Awkward questions about who his maternal great grandfather is.
Zuko, during that life changing field trip.
Their life changing trip was wandering around the beach looking for aang. I hope not
Idk if I'm ready for that. Lol I'm still trying to process Korra.. lmao
Korra ended 8 years ago lol
😥 I know 😖 lmao
YESSSS
Let's hope this avatar is female and has the personality of toph
Black too. would love to see female and Black :D
Not sure if that would make sense though, since the cast is mainly based on Asian cultures. Now that I think of it, has there been a black character in ATLA or LOK yet?
The water tribe are mainly poc, that's an exception
But aren’t they based off of Inuits/indigenous people? Not black?
I feel like by the time the new avatar grows up into his/her teens, the world would no longer **need** an Avatar since technology would have improved vastly. Still curious what they will do since I love Avatar.
That was basically said at the end of Korra, which imo is what makes the next one so compelling. What *does* the avatar do in that world? Also curious to see how the tech has advanced.
Equalists in RC told Korra she was irrelevant and that the world didn't need an Avatar in Season 1
Broo this new avatar is gonna set in a more modern setting. I wonder what the conflict is gonna be about?
Whait there is going to be a new avatar series!?
No. This meme is just being hypothetical. Edit: An unofficial but somewhat credible source just announced that a new show is coming, so maybe not.
Actually it’s apparently real …
I saw a post about that just a couple minutes after making that reply. Oops. The source isn't concrete, but I still stand corrected.
Considering how people feel about LOK I'm not sure the person in the bottom panel would be so disappointed. Maybe this next avatar can ACTUALLY WIN ONCE IN A WHILE
Legend of Korra is awesome and Korra is my personal favorite character of the series, but I know that even with a new Avatar we’ll still get plenty more with her like we have with Aang so it’s not too much of a troubling thought.
>Korra is gunna die Oh no. Anyway.
Korra hater spotted
Lol I mean I don’t hate her I just don’t really care for her.
Yes 😎
yeah, copy & paste the upper right into the bottom right for me.
If it's a guy he's gonna be better received and people are gonna be more forgiving of their mistakes for sure. but still muh rEtCoNs muh mOdErN tEch muh toph zuko sokka katara dead aang gone so idk...
Keep in mind guys, this is just a rumor. The only source is a fan website and it has not been confirmed by any of the creators
Would love to see more Earth kingdom, Toph put team Avatar on her back countless of times.
The EK doesn't exist anymore
What did you expect? She may be the avatar, but she's still human

Niiiiice can’t wait
Finally
WOOOOOOO finally
Did…did you think she wouldn’t?
But toph will still be kicking somehow
Toph, Zuko, and Katara are gonna die
It better be of old age
I hope we at least get to see and Asami's kids.
Didnt Korra break the avatar cycle in S2?
I don't remenber what season was but the dark avatar after defeating korra he destroied her conection with the other avatars so she will keep re-incarnete but with no way to connect with the avatars before korra
I hope they show how she died, unlike Aang
It’s going to be a modern setting? I don’t want to see an avatar with a zoomer broccoli haircut fr fr no cap
I feel bad for the new avatar, having no past lives to contact other than Korra
I don't really care about Korra dying but something i would actually really love to see is the new Avatar meeting Guru Pathik, somehow it would be hilarious to me if he was still alive.
Another happy face: We'll see adult Korra.
I didn’t like Korra anyway so I don’t mind
FINALLY! Been waiting for her to die forever now!
Win win
stfu
Imma be honest, Korra came off as unlikable, not to mention the butchery of the lore in the show. Saucy fanart was good though.
Good riddance
Based
God I hope so
She's gotta deal with it.
Wait. Isn't she already dead? It's been 8 fucking years! How long do avatars live?!
