I love these reflexions. I do agree Korra fight skill seems to go backward as she grows inside due to all the challenges she faced, keeping her from giving a 100% at a mental and physical level when fighting. Quite unsatisfactory... She has come far in learning how to restrain herself, but even when its justified in her story its very anticlimatic to not see her become a powerful avatar on every level, spiritually and physically, since she had so much potential as a prodigy of bending. She even lost connection to past lives. Thats a goodbye on all of the most cool scenes of the avatar state, with the arguable exception of the final Zaheer vs Korra fight. In general her story is a sad one. Mostly well structured but pointed in the wrong direction IMO. Sorry for the mistakes, english its not my maternal language.

You bring up a good point about Korra going through a lot. She's had her bending taken, her spirit ripped from her and felt the destruction of the past lives, and the poisoning/torture. But as much as I stan her, her technique was ass. At no time does she ask for tactics or strategic planning from ppl like Bumi or Iroh. Also a thing ppl forget about Aang is that he had an advantage in all of his fights. No one had fought an Airbender for 100 years when he awoke or knew how to counter his deflection and evasion techniques. Another thing Korra could've learned from Tenzin because even Zaheer couldn't counter them

The Classic Pessimist vs Optimist debate in the beginning lol. Yeah Korra definitely uses techniques when she fights. Tbh that was shown early on especially when she was a fire ferret. So I don’t agree that it’s just punching and kicking. She’s a talented fighter and that was also shown on the top of the pro bending arena when she went against Amons Lieutenant. Now where the issue lies is how linear bending has become. How they bend now, basically makes it much easier to dodge. It’s straight shots. It doesn’t span a wider area like a lot of benders did in ATLA, or they didn’t use their bending that way I should say. It’s all precision linear attacks with bending. That’s also why I say that Aang could possibly get the better of Korra in a fight just because of how linear her bending is and how Aang would easily finesse that like the evasion master he is. Korra uses bending to span wide areas sometimes but that’s not her go too. Like with Kuvira, she could’ve made so much better use of air and fire. But it was so easy for Kuvira to evade and finesse with the metal bending. On top of her not being at 100%

Well thats true but korra did master air by the end of the series for sure. Thats a no brainer otherwise tenzin would have mentioned it or she would have trained more.

Also, I don't think we should compare what Avatar's have had to go through because even Avatar Kuruk, who was said to be quite the non-active avatar but in reality, he spent a lot of his life fighting Dark Spirits which drained his life force and led to his early death(As said in the Kyoshi Novels).

I just want to point out that the only elements Korra has mastered was Water and Earth. When we saw Korra for the first time(as a teenager, not child) she was training with Fire to get ready for a mastery test. Her teachers were discussing whether or not she was ready. Later on in season 2, Tenzin points out to Korra that she has not mastered Air and with everything that was happening afterwards, she would have no time to learn to master it. Also, if you rewatch her fight against Vaatu, Zaheer or in the last episode of Season 4, she fights really well. She shows technique even if you think of it as only "Punching and kicking" but if you think about it. That is all that the techniques are. If you look at the fight between Zuko and Azula, they punch and kick. I can see if you are talking about the fighting just not looking as flashy or more like the martial arts like it did in ATLA. That's fine, but don't think it's reasonable for that kidn of fighting to fade out, at least for people who live in Republic City. A place where all fighting techniques can easily mesh and become, "MIXED MARTIAL ARTS(MMA)."

Munkee Man

yeah that's my problem with them... they comparing ATLA with LOK a lot and they should know that's unfair from their part....

Kevin Kovacs

About your conversation in the beginning, and in most episodes, you brought up ATLA frequently and compared it with this show. I think you would've enjoyed it a lot more as just solely seeing it as its own piece. Don't get me wrong it has its bad moments for sure but not enough to outweigh the good throughout the show, or bash it even for just the fighting. So when you compare it with ATLA, You're gonna pinpoint these minimal details light fighting scenes and how they go up against the other show. "comparison is the thief of joy"
