Avatar Rewatch 2018

Avatar: the Last Airbender and Avatar: the Legend of Korra. Great writing, dynamic characters, a deep world, and gorgeous animation… both have cast a long shadow, and have die hard fans to this day.

I’ve rewatched both of these shows numerous times, but usually by myself. So I thought: what if a bunch of us did it together? As a community?

That’s what this blog is all about. Getting as many people as possible, fans old and new, watching and celebrating these two groundbreaking shows all at roughly the same time. Reminiscing, sharing art and fiction, all the things we did when the shows were new. We do that already, but now we’ll be able to do it at the same time!

Here’s the plan:

March: 1st-10th: AtLA: Book 1 11th-20th: AtLA Book 2 21st-31st: AtLA Book 3 April: 1st-7th: LoK Book 1 8th-14th: LoK Book 2 15th-21st: LoK Book 3 22nd-28th: LoK Book 4 This comes to about two episodes per day – less than an hour! If you miss some and catch up, that’s fine. If you just join for your favorites, that’s fine too!

This is all supposed to be in good fun! Participate as much as you like, in whatever way you want! But from time to time, it serves us well to revisit our old favorites–and it’s rare when your old favorites hold up. These shows do. Follow this blog for news, feel free to submit suggestions or ask for details, and hey–make it fun! :D (PS: Thanks @lauraknatt for the fantastic banner! It’s adorable and sets the tone perfectly!)

Ever since you were a little girl, you’ve excelled at the physical side of bending, but completely ignored the spiritual side. The Avatar must master both.

You are merely a half-baked Avatar in training, which reminds me, how is your airbending going? Made any significant progress with that?

I told you I would destroy you.

You’re the worst Avatar ever!

I’ll be no more of a monster than your own daughter. The only difference is that while she can barely recognize her own spiritual power, I will be in complete alignment with mine

The poison has done its work. The Avatar Cycle will be over momentarily.

I knew you were weak.

Korra, you’ve transformed the World more in a few years than most Avatars did during their lifetimes.

But I feel like I’ve only just begun. There’s so much more I want to learn and do.

…

Dang it Korra, you’ve come such a long way. You’ve proved yourself against your enemies countless times and you’ve make me so proud! My hero ❤

Remember the last time the FCC nearly killed net neutrality?

Tumblr had this nice big banner at the top of your dashboard alerting any active user about the problem. Guess what has changed since then? Verizon, one of the companies gunning for the death of net neutrality owns yahoo who in turn own Tumblr. Spread the word, tell everyone you can: battleforthenet.com tag posts you see about net neutrality with popular tags so the news spreads.

“Korra looked broken and defeated at the end of Book 4″

ok but

Book 3:

Book 4:

To read some of the vitriol, you’d never believe Korra ends the show explicitly happy.

xkatebishop

I believe the words they’re looking for is “at peace”. Korra is at peace with herself, with the things she went through, with her place in the world and her future.

Not to mention, one thing I’ve seen pointed out is it’s the only finale in which Korra doesn’t shed a single tear.

when you remember that korra, the protagonist of a popular children’s show, is a bisexual woc who struggles with emotional trauma/ptsd, and isn’t ever shown to have completely “overcome” said trauma, but instead learns to cope with it and lives a fulfilled, happy life with her girlfriend.
