They would have sucked a frickin' dick.
They would kill her
They outright stated their original goal was to raise her themselves.
Was this seriously what they were planning?
Holy frick.
That plotline would've been so much more kino than the shitty show we actually got.
Yeah it is super weird how their og plan was to raise Korra themselves as an Avatar for the Red Lotus but then decided somewhere down the line that the Avatar needs to be extinguished in it's entirety. Gets even stupider once you realize Zaheer had no way to coordinate this new change in plan with the other lotus members since he was locked up for 13 years.
>zaheer not being a dualbender
wssted opportunity. imagine zaheer having the brute techniques of an earthbender with the discipline of an airbender. two opposite elements handled under someone's philosophy
E;R, that is somehow worse of an idea than Windaboo autism.
I think he was right about Zaheer's cell being kind of bullshit made just to build him up as a super bender villain while he doesn't even have bending.
Also, now I wonder... how would one imprison an airbender so he can't use air without killing him.
can one person explain why exactly zuko didn't kill these superpowered mega evil villains instead of letting them sit as a checkhov's gun on the shelf for 13 years inviting disaster, or why aang didn't take their bending away?
it's like LOK turned every character moronic just to have something to write about
>can one person explain why exactly zuko didn't kill these superpowered mega evil villains instead of letting them sit as a checkhov's gun on the shelf for 13 years inviting disaster, or why aang didn't take their bending away?
They're not the only members of their organization and they were trying to get names out of the four of them, they just never cracked. And since they were arrested for trying to kidnap Korra there's a pretty obvious reason Aang didn't take their bending away.
Honestly weird they never suspected Unalaq sold them out, especially considering he became the chief of the north, so still never tattled
Did their jailers give them news updates?
Probably not but Zaheer could meditate and enter the spirit world, i think
>there's a pretty obvious reason Aang didn't take their bending away.
oh shit
Raising Korra from childhood with someone who could teach her Air Nomad philosophy would help prevent a lot of her worst qualities, but she couldn't learn any real Airbending without Tenzin.
She probably could have learned Combustion Bending and Lavabending while she was at it though
Red Lotus Korra vs Amon who wins?
after all the bullshit we saw in the series, blood bending is still the most broken bending second to energy bending. What good is flying and creating a fricking volcano if you can't move to begin with.
Frankly the thing no one seems to recognize as a a massive power upgrade while all of Korra gets ragged on for increasing the power floors. It is FRICKING INSANE is that Yakone was bloodbending as well as he was.
The most we saw in TLA was Kana puppeteering two people: one with each hand. That was probably her limit and Katara never bloodbends more than one person at once because her wrath is always more focused.
But Yakone Bloodbent an entire fricking courthouse worth of people. If literally the avatar wasn't there I'm sure he could have done something lethal like pressing all of them into a heap or squeeze all the blood out of their bodies.
I am pretty sure that Tenzinknows best about Air nomad philosophy than Zaheer whose pretty much an amateur and his technique is self-taught just like Zuko's firebending at the start of the series up until the beggining of S2
Zaheer achieves the apex of AirBending in a few days to getting it. The only person better then Zaheer at airbending is Avatar's in the Avater State
Tenzin fail at basic things like not having wife or kids.
>Tenzin fail at basic things like not having wife or kids.
Are you moronic? There's nothing saying that Airbenders can't have families, Aang never mentioned anything like that. How tf do you think they reproduce?
They frick, the men leave, the kids are born and once they're old enough they are separated by gender and raised in the different monasteries
The Air Nomad children aren't raised in traditional two parent households. All of the monks at the temple take part in raising them
Well obviously they cannot do that same system anymore now that there no more monks to cultivate the young. Tenzin's the only airbending master in the world, there's no way he could expect to raise up a new nation of airbenders by just pumping and dumping.
He has air acolytes in enough numbers to rebuild each air temple and start a new one. Instead of dooming them to failing to live like air benders, he could have had a hundred or so kids and restarted the Air Nomads properly in a decade.
Bro you know "life is sacred" is also an Air Nomad philosophy?
I meant that the White Lotus kept Korra locked up at a compound in the South Pole for 16 years. She was exposed to bending teachers but that's it
She had no exposure to failure or culture or life outside of that compound. That's why she struggled so much with Airbending.
If Tenzin had raised Korra instead of spending him time dumping Lin for a breedable Air Acolyte, maybe she wouldn't have struggled as much
>Not dumping your b***hy, career obsessed girlfriend for a younger breeding sow, who’s only interested in taking your wiener 24/7
Tenzin is based as hell for doing it. Aang would be proud.
he would've been even more based by taking more than 1 wife, He was so shit at his job that universe basically had to jump in and reproduce airbenders for him since he wasn't making enough babies
Tenzin was a jobber and disappointment to his father. Zaheer was a true air nomad who achieved the pinnacle of airbending after just a few days. Tenzin failed to understand the teachings of Guru Laghima and was a complete failure who tried to make Korra in to a warrior for the globohomosexual Republican City
https://avatar.fandom.com/wiki/Laghima
log off P'li
ah yes, the respected GrandMaster Laghimah Azov
Who did Tenzin job to?
His eldest daughter.
She was more spiritual than the person raised by Aang.
They wanted the Avatar to reopen the Spirit Portals so they were going to take them under their guidance and raise them as their own so the Avatar would do what they believed was needed for the world. Reopen the portals, and then eventually sacrifice themselves for Balance.
It's a stupid shortsighted plan since humans tend towards systems of order much like other animals in the animal kingdom.
I really hate how they made spirituality (and the entire bending system in general). A giant diceroll where all that seems to matter is innate talent instead of careful discipline and study. Tenzin who meditated for years to try and enter the spirit world gets mogged by his own daughter who got it on her first try, holy shit frick this show.
They turned Bending into the X-Gene. Some people are just randomly born with superior powers, despite displaying no reason to have them, while all others are required to undergo intense, soul-wracking trials and enlightenment, and life-long training to be pretty strong, at best.
Meanwhile, some random frickstick can just be born with powers that exceed anything the best benders in the world can do and his kids can also just get lucky and inherit the God-level bending power, just because.
Azula and combustion man did it
Azula had the entire wealth of the Fire Nation and the country's best teachers behind her. Why do you think Zuko's only average ability came as such a disappointment? The royal family does nothing but train to bend fire and do whatever pseudo-important bullshit the aristocracy does in between mismanaging their generals.
Combustion man was given no explanation, but that ability was the ONLY thing he did, so it's safe to assume it was the one and only thing he ever practiced. A case of "I fear the man who has practiced the same kick a thousand times".
Plus Combustion Man's power is a reasonable extension of another power we see in the series (heat redirection), so it makes him and P'li even more believable than the fricking stupid psychic AoE bloodbending
just another reason atla is better than lok. lok fricked the powerlevels for everything. it took katara ages to learn relatively basic waterbending, and then you go to korra and every mook off the street is using OP boss moves as party tricks
Katara went from nothing to master in the space of at most 2 months. Then she reached grandmaster in another 2 months. Bending is shit easy to learn if you have the time to train.
It was never an airtight system, but there was clear that time + effort = results. Katara in an earlier episode was slower to take to Waterbending than Aang was but fast forward a couple episodes Katara now has outpaced Aang thanks to her hard work. That kind of dichotomy doesn't exist in Korra, they just hand out bending like it's Halloween candy
i think the rules of bending have never been that established specially lightning but they sure as shit were better written on tla
> spirituality
This supposed to be a double edged sword. Children are easily be overwhelmed, and worse, they will be possessed by evil spirits
the robots
ye[p
they would have tone down her rudeness and ego and made her understand that being the avatar is not something we have to "deal with it" but what's her role in this world as one. Zaheer would be more stricted than tenzin and perhaps he would at least achieve in teaching the avatar how to airbend, it would've been more of am honor for him to give back them what the air nomad taught him
They would have actual expectations from her which only tenzin had and only for one season
They were the weakest aspect of the story, writing wise, so I doubt it. You'd need to change a lot and then what's the point of even keeping them as the same characters?
Korra got what she got. For some reason Avatars always seem to need to learn their lessons the hard way.
>They were the weakest aspect of the story, writing wise, so I doubt it
Really, Anon? This was the same series with Unalaq as a villain, DARK AVATAR who flip flops constantly on whether or not his plans need Korra alive
i dont even know what they wanted or who they were
i liked unalaq until he went full moron with the fanfiction tier MUH DARKNESS bullshit. the writers on this never heard of subtlety in their lives
I dropped Korra before these guys were relevant. What's their deal? iirc they are anarchist or something like that.
zaheer was voiced by henry rollins, which was based
zaheer killed a monarch, which was based
that's the best news i can give you, really
Found this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxezTayvFV8
Why is the guy using a female avatar?
They're radicalized terrorist anarchists, so I'd assume no.
The guy used Guru Laghima's teachings to takedown a government.
Couldn't have done any worse than her real parents. Idk what went wrong. Maybe she should have been beaten more. Would have helped tone down her sociopathic tendencies and narcissism.
would red lotus training make Korra more buff?
She would have become a better bender. Season 3 conflict would be better if humans were at war with benders, reactionary bender vs. normal humans. But worldbuilding is hard
There's a pretty good fanfic about this, if you can tolerate Korra and Asami. It sucks less because it isn't an asspull in their story, but still.
wish we had a list of actually good fanfics
also funny that atla and lok are categorized separately
[Spoiler]Instincts of a Fearful Body[/Spoiler]
It's complete, basically.
i'll check it out
Which one would have tried to frick her?
The women.
The water-arms lady
P'Li whenever she needs some disciplibe
Wouldnt the Avatars of previous lives just guide her out of this group of smelly, disabled and old anarchists?
Aang didn't start talking to Roku until he accepted his role as Avatar, and at first it required Heibai the spirit panda, a portal to the spirit world and/or the Solstice
It took time and a lot of personal and spiritual growth for Aang to learn how to summon Roku and Kyoshi and the others at will
Literally anything besides what they did to Korra would have made more sense. Instead of raising an enlightened world leader to unify all nations, they turned her into an anxious psychopath with a massive ego.
Somehow the wisemen of the Avatar World decided that not working with Korra at all so she could overcome her weaknesses and impulses before she got released into the world and instead just nagging her so she hated them was the best way to raise the fricking Avatar. So the Korra we got in the series feels like she wasn't trained or raised at all... and honestly, THAT WOULD HAVE MADE MORE SENSE. Instead of her being locked up her whole life, she was some wild butthole who never got to integrate with the world or interact with enough people to learn how to tamp down her feral bratty instincts.
That's kind of what I'm going for with my big-ass Korra fanfic Cinemaphile inspired me to write a couple weeks ago
anarchists are stupid
No
In theory? Yes, raising her as an anarchist would be a benefit to the avatar world. In terms of the writing skills of the boys? Absolutely not, they're not smart enough to be able to properly write a story about an anarchist.
>Alan Moore writes a Korra alternate timeline where she is an anarchist
I'd read it
I'd read the shit out of that
no seriously, why was zaheer imprisoned in the fricking sky? and after so much time to think, how the frick did they not realize their goal was meaningless?
4 superpowered morons is what they were, what a waste
>meaningless
You can argue that anyone and everyone's goal is meaningless.
