so i was rewatching the legend of korra finale while reading blog posts about it
and they made me really angry. everyone spends so much time saying that korra overreacted to losing her bending, when i dont think she did. she spent her whole life training to be the avatar, and then in a split second, she wasnt. people dont tell gymnasts or dancers who are injured that they shouldnt be upset about it. not only did she spend her life training for it, but that was her identity. she wasn’t just korra of the water tribe, she was avatar korra. she based her whole sense of self on the fact that she waa the avatar. you cant compare her to any of the other avatars either, because they all found out later on in life. i mean, roku was 16 or something, and even aang was almost a teenager. korra knew she was the avatar from the time that she was 3 or 4. tell me that wouldnt be a traumatic situation.
sorry, korra rage.
