I’m kind of annoyed everyone’s always “OMG AVATAR STATE.”
“WHEN IS KORRA GOING INTO THE AVATAR STATE”
“AVATARSTATEAVATARSTATEET9IGIOJSZDH”
…Guys. The show hasn’t even been going for TEN episodes yet. And you want Bryke to go ahead and bring out the big guns? Really?
Calm your aura.
Korra’s…
Aang was able to use the avatar state on the first episode, when he had only ever done airbending and had no avatar training whatsoever. Your argument about it being too soon for Korra is invalid. She had years of training and people explaining to her how everything was supposed to go, Aang had to figure it out for himself.
Personally I don’t want her to just go avatar state and go mass kill all the equalists, but she needs some growth and fast. She’s coming off as a complete idiot trying to solve everything by beating people up.
Korra isn’t Aang. Trying to compare Korra and Aang, two completely different people with opposite personalities, is like trying to compare Azula and Katara. The only thing they have in common is that they’re both the Avatar. Aang was raised by Air Nomads to be peaceful, in tune with himself and nature, and that violence was a last resort. He didn’t even want to be the Avatar.
Korra on the other hand, the first words out of her mouth are “I’M THE AVATAR, AND YOU GOTTA DEAL WITH IT-!!” She’s been cooped up in a compound her entire life, growing up in an era where bending is a sport instead of a way of connecting with the world. I think its entirely understandable the avatar state would elude her.
::shrug::
It totally makes sense that she would have trouble with it, but that doesn’t excuse the fact that she’s had pretty much no personal growth whatsoever when it comes to anything spiritual. Like the thing that they took as her ‘personal growth’ was her learning to move as an airbender, which is just another style of movement and doesn’t really have anything to do with spirituality.
She needs to learn that her running around beating people up isn’t helping anything because this isn’t a physical problem. This is a problem of an entire class of people has been abused and taken advantage of, and nothing is going to change (whether she defeats Amon or not) until she realizes the underlying problem and gets it through her fat head that she can’t just beat them all into submission.
She needs to close the conflict, help with discussions because currently there are no non-benders on the council or any position of power, and get them to make a compromise. She needs to be the fucking avatar. Not some goon.
