#also wdym this isn't how defense goes

[kr1osz]

I've recently finished TLOK & there for joined the fandom and... Did we even watch the same show???

(Very long & passionate rant under cut)

Like mf wdym Korra is the worst/weakest Avatar? It's physically not possible for her to be the weakest as the cycle goes on the Avatar spirt gets stronger so technically the weakest Avatar is Wan!! But I still want to point out the many reasons why Korra isn't the weakest or worst Avatar.

Firstly, I want to acknowledge vaid criticisms of Korra. Yes she constantly underestimated her opponents but in her defense she was severely inexperienced. She'd spent most of her life in that training facility in the south Pole and then once she got to republic city was almost immediately thrown into dealing with the equalits so she underestimated Amon due to lack of experience. She was then manipulated by her uncle so can you really blame her for not realizing he was evil till it was too late? THAT WAS HER FAMILY!!

Anyways, Korra has faults like every Avatar but she also has feats that you all seem to forget/over look!

My main example and my favorite to bring up in this argument is; Korra on harmonic convergence after having Raava RIPPED from her (need to emphasize the fact that Korra did not give Raava up willing like some of y'all like to think, she fought to keep Raava with her and was devastated when she lost her and the past lives. She didn't give it up willingly) meaning she didn't have the Avatar state and this fight was just her pure strength against UnaVaatu.

KORRA BEAT HIS ASS WITH NO BENDING, NO AVATAR STATE, NO PAST LIVES, NO NOTHING. KORRA FIST FOUGHT THE SPIRIT OF CHAOS AND DARKNESS AND WON!

But I have more examples of how strong she truly is (there is no order to them lol).

Korra broke out of Blood bending without the Avatar state (something Aang couldn't do).

She had control over 3/4 of the elements at like five, and the only reason it took so long to master Air bending (which still only took like a few months) was because she didn't get a teacher until she was 17!

Korra fought one of the strongest air benders WHILE DYING, like ppl forget she was slowly dying during that fight. She was weakened and still won.

Now let's talk about another one of my favorite feats of hers, REDIRECTING THE AVATAR UNIVERSE VERSION OF A FUCKING NUKE. Like it was so powerful it ripped open a whole in space & time, creating a new spirit portal and she redirected it and wasn't even fazed. Like I'm 90% sure she didn't even break a sweat!

She's the first Avatar to metal bend, ik it's likely because she's the first Avatar to exist when metal bending was more common but she was metal bending in like a week! That's not something anyone can do!!

Another reason I have is technically not about her strength but more about the strength of Korra's version of Raava. When Korra re-fused with Raava, the Raava spirit was bigger than it was when it was ripped from her and alot bigger than the version Wan fused with meaning Korra has a stronger version of Raava than previous Avatars making her inherently stronger than them. When Korra re-fused with Raava, she was big enough for Korra to ride on her but when Wan fused with her Raava fit in a tea pot.

Now time to defend Korra's loses!

・Korra lost against Amon because she was inexperienced, she'd spent most of her life away from the world and wasn't prepared to fight a master water bender.

・Korra lost Raava because it was supposed to happen. Ever Harmonic convergence Raava and Vaatu fight so it's likely that ever 10,000 year's the avatar cycle will restart, also did we not watch Korra be absolutely DEVASTATED that she lost her connect with the last Avatars? Like she spends most of the time during the 4th season wishing she could talk to Aang!

・Honestly I don't even know if Korra won or lost against Zaheer but I do know she was slowly dying during the fight. She was no where near her full strength! Also, the red lotus was actively surprised at how well Korra fought against going into the Avatar state just showing her control over it.

・Korra got her ass beat in that ring in the earth kingdom because she was rusty and GOING THROUGH IT! Like she hadn't fought in 3 year's and she was still working through her turama, it's the samething when she lost to old Toph, she was rusty, still being affected by the poison, and traumatized. There was on way she was going to win in that state

・ Korra lost in her 1v1 with Kuvira because she was rusty, she hadn't fought in 3 year's and you expect her to be as good as she was before her hiatus? Bitch please! Korra quite literally goes on to go toe to toe with Kuvira at the end of the season when she'd worked through her rust.

In conclusion, Korra isn't the wort or weakest Avatar your just over looking her feats and dumbing her down because you can't except your fav isn't as strong as you think. She was ment to restart the Avatar cycle, and she also isn't even in her prime! She's 17 in the first season, 18 in season 2 & 3, and 21 in the last season, Korra is still at the beginning of her career as an Avatar. She's only going to get stronger.

Also no, I'm not a Korra glazer. She's not even my favorite Avatar, it's Kiyoshi.

MC teaching the brats how to destress by complaining about their boss who overworks them (ofc talking about Zelek) but also telling them to do this somewhere he can't here them or they'll get in trouble😂

MC is talking from experience btw

Wdym shit talking your boss and breaking things isn't therapeutic?

~•~•~

"Come on, scream out whatever boss' doing that pisses you off." You encourage, arms folded across your chest. Zil gives Thalia an unsure look, but the youngest Agent just vibrates in excitement with a wide grin, ignoring her "older brother".

"I HATE IT WHEN BOSING CONFISCATES MY GUNS!" Her sudden shout echoes throughout the old warehouse. You can hear the rage mixed with joy in her voice. "PUTA KAAAAAAAAAA!!! TANGINA MO. BWISET KAAAAAA. I JUST WANTED TO KEEP ONE GUN FOR SELF-DEFENSE, BUT FUCK YOU FOR NOT TRUSTING ME. I'M A SKILLED MARKSMAN LIKE ZIL AND I'M TRAINED TO HANDLE A GUN, SO WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN I'M NOT READY?!?!"

You look at Zil, who is staring at a now seething Thalia in horror for bad mouthing your boss.

"Your turn." You smile at him, and he looks at you incredulously for even saying that.

"Come on, it's fun." Thalia encourages with a grin, her rage from earlier now gone in a snap, tugging Zil by the sleeve of his jacket. "Say something you always wanted to say to bosing but chickened out last minute."

"How encouraging." Zil deadpans at Thalia, who sticks her tongue out at him in reply. A sigh comes next, and Zil takes in a deep breath. You and Thalia step back to give him some space, if the way his fists clench tightly mean anything.

"Zelek, I fucking hate you for putting Thalia and I in those bullshit missions, in those bullshit teams with the shitty supervisors, and fuck you for trying to baby me in everything that I do. I hate you for nEARLY TRYING TO GET US KILLED FOR THIS MOTHERFUCKING STUPID ASS—" Zil cuts himself off, grabbing the old pipe Thalia offered up to him and throwing it aimlessly with an angry shout. The pipe clangs loudly against the floor as it tumbles and settles.

Silence comes after for a moment.

Thalia lets out a whoop, breaking the silence immediately. She throws her hands into the air with a wide smile before wrapping them around Zil into a hug.

"You did it!" She squeals, shaking Zil a bit with her jumps. "Look at you, finally shit talking Zelek with us!"

"Stop hugging me." Zil scowls at her, but doesn't make any effort to stop Thalia.

"Come on, I have one more thing to show you." You say and start walking off somewhere in the warehouse.

"There's more?" Both Juniors question, one of them with wonder and excitement, while the other is confused and incredulous. You hear feet shuffling behind you, and Thalia quickly jumps up into your view.

"What are we going to do next?" She asks, eager with whatever chaos you have in store. "Does it involve guns? Are we going to shoot something?"

"Well, no." You laugh at seeing Thalia give an immediate pout.

"Tally, I doubt we're allowed to bring our guns on our day off." Zil says, appearing at your side and frowning at the youngest Agent.

"A girl can dream, can't she?" Thalia says with a dramatic sigh, the back of her hand on her forehead.

"Love the enthusiasm, but we're going to break stuff instead." Both of your Juniors look at you incredulously.

"Like in those telenovelas?" Thalia asks, brows furrowing, "where the antagonist goes beast mode and starts throwing stuff and breaking things, and have a mental breakdown in the end?"

"That, minus the mental breakdown." You say as you three arrive in a room full of cheap breakable objects. "I come here when I want to let out some inner rage I have on Zelek."

Zil raises a brow at you.

"Hey, breaking stuff is a therapeutic thing." You remark. Thalia doesn't even hesitate, already bounding up to the nearest object and breaking it to pieces with a metal bat she got from the nearby table full of blunt weapons.

"You can imagine the thing as Zelek's face," you add and offer him a metal bar, "you know, if it helps you get immersed in it, or something. I've seen how you threw that pipe earlier."

Zil opens his mouth to protest, but he's stopped by a loud shatter of glass and Thalia's cackling followed after. He looks over at his fellow Agent, then back at the metal bar. Without another word, he grabs it and runs into the chaos, breaking the first thing he sees. Thalia lets out a whoop as she watches Zil break a poor mannequin into pieces.

You watch by the side, leaning your back against the wall and revelling in that sweet chaos.

"So this is where you three have been." You flinch in surprise and look to your left, seeing Ariel leaning back as well and drinking from a cup of, from what you can smell, chai. Another cup is in her hand and she offers it up to you. You gingerly take the cup with a small "thank you" in reply.

"Thought I might teach them how to properly let out some anger that doesn't involve hurting anyone." You say and take a sip of the chai.

Ariel smiles. "It seems you're doing a good job at that."

"I try my best," you chuckle, "I never was a great teacher."

"But you are to them." She gestures to the two teenagers now having a swordfight with plastic pipes they found, grins on their faces and laughter coming from their mouths. "I think you're doing a better job than their former supervisors. That's worth something being proud of, no?"

"Yeah…" You smile fondly at the thought. "I guess you're right."

"AGENT, WE GOT YOU A NEW ARM!" Thalia shouts, and you both look over to see her raising the arm from the mannequin Zil broke earlier with a grin. Zil is crouched beside her, rummaging through the debris and pulls out the other mannequin arm.

"That's not even as good as the one Elly made me!" You shout back, causing Thalia to blow a raspberry at you and Ariel to laugh.

"It doesn't hurt to have variety!"

"Variety my ass!"
