I would say the main reason why Korra Looks Like Katara is that they have a similar gene pool. They probably have a close common ancestor. There aren't many people in the southern water tribe.
she isn't completely from the southern water tribe though, her dad comes from the northern one and as to the south being small it gets much larger after the war

Same. Frankly, the theory falls apart at Korra for me. I can see what people are talking about with the other 3 examples. I agree that the similarities seem too numerous to write them off as a coincidence. Then there's Katara and Korra, who's main similarities can be attributed to nearly every watertribe member. There are plenty of water tribe girls that look more like Katara than Korra does. IMO, for this theory to hold up, out of all the water tribe females, Korra should share more similarities to Katara than any other water tribe girl, and that's simply not the case.
My Theory :- When the Avatar dies and the next Avatar is immediately born, the memories of the past Avatar influences the growth of the new Avatar. So theoretically the new Avatar will always look like the most loved person of the past Avatar because of strong memories carried down from each Avatar
Serious doubt in terms of looks, but the personalities are absolutely affected. Kyoshi was the opposite of Kuruk (the "go with the flow" water bender), and Korra is basically the opposite of Aang. It's like they each try to compensate for the past one in some way.
So its possible that if the avatar had a super intense enemy, the appearance of the next avatar could be influenced by that? I know that love is stronger than hate, but what if the avatar didnt have a strong love for anyone in specific? But did have a strong hate for someone specific?
I never really thought she looked very much like Katara. They are both females from the water tribe and that's all the resemblance I've ever seen between them.

I really appreciate the quick comment in there about how the strong love that creates this effect doesn't have to be romantic love. People so often treat romantic love as the end-all-be-all that when the love between family and friends is acknowledged as having similar power, it really means a lot. This is especially true for aromantic people who don't experience romantic love, but can still value our friends and family just as highly.
Something interesting about this is, that actual folk lore probably is created this way, by making up something that sounds good and giving it some other source that feels important. Of course, in the past cultures where less interconnected, so people wouldn't claim that it came from another culture and doing that creates or reinforces a wrong image of other cultures.
Esp since it isn’t consistent w beliefs of reincarnation. In East Asian religions you can reincarnate as insects, animals, plants sometimes Demi gods. How r u gonna look like your past insect lover

Korras eye shape is more like Tophs rather than kataras. there’s limitations when working with arts styles. Most characters wouldn’t even look like themselves if you were to change their hair or colour pallet.
It's not quite a misquote, but the saying "curiosity killed the cat" is supposed to include "but satisfaction brought it back", which has rather the opposite intended meaning.
"blood is thicker than water" is a similar situation. "the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb", in other words, your friends/found family/ ect are more important than the perceived obligations to someone because they are related to you, but was mangled into "blood is thicker than water" which is used to imply the opposite
@@brony4869 Yeah, this is a complete myth. The phrase 'Blood is thicker than water' dates back to the Early Modern Period, IE Shakespeare. 'The blood of the covenant if thicker than the water of the womb' only dates back to the 1990s. The people who made up the phrase CLAIMED that it dates back hundreds of years, but there are no attestations prior to the 1990s.
The saying is not supposed to include 'but satisfaction brought it back'. That was added in the early 20th century as a kind of rebuttal to the original phrase. It was originally intended to warn of unnecessary investigation.
I don’t have to watch. Imma take a quick guess and say “The avatar is reincarnated to look like the person they loved in there previous life” but let’s be honest, they were from the water tribe so they were bound to look similar.
The egg shaped humpty comes from the book Alice Through the Looking Glass. My favourite misquote is: "The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb" which entirely flips the meaning

In universe it could be Ravaa giving the previous Avatar a chance to "see" their love in a reflection of their next self, or a reflection of just who the Avatar sees the most
I always find it funny when people say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result. That’s “Einstein’s definition” but I’m pretty sure he was more trying to make a point about science than insanity.
It was an original quirk of the Avatars reincarnation cycle. the original moonwalk did pick up what Neil Armstrong said but was not apparent in the rebroadcasting process and has been remastered with his original audio in recent years. And Avatar was an awesome series
You cited Kyoshi as "different" but Kyoshi litterally has an entire island of warriors who look exactly like her. Aang looks like every other air nomad Roku looks like every old fire bender (look at old Zuko) Every bending style/tribe has a look.
i mean the kyoshi warriors are supposed to look like her, thats the point roku and zuko are related on zuko's mother's side. but i'll give you that one for aang
Isn't that basically the same face syndrome of animation? If you give a person a similar hair and skin colour and they have a similar head shape they look basically the same.
Yeah, I think another factor for everyone looking similar is that the show only seems to have 5 or so faces and most characters would be indistinguishable if it weren't for their hair and head shape.
I just thought it was cuz they were both from water tribe. Also theory: Yue was supposed to be the next avatar because we were told that when she was born she was perfectly heathy but some thing was missing... that something being rava. Look at all of the times and average age of death. - Jordyn
They didn't say something was missing. Just that she was sick. And an avatar can only be born after the last one dies. This theory doesn't hold much grounds
3 months later but what I think noghtrodr is trying to say is if Aang hadn’t been frozen she would have been the avatar when he died around the time when she was born, not saying that confirms the theory ofc
It is so annoying that people keep reciting that we only use 10%of our brain. The correct statement was that we only understand how 10% of our brain functions
Did anyone else notice that he said "Japanese" and not "Chinese". Chinese is the main language/culture of the series. Yue's name is Chinese for moon, which she explains to Sokka. Also the entire written language is Chinese due to the fact that when Sokka was finding the date for the solar eclipse, I noticed the Chinese character for "one" which is ---- or Yī . Just had to point that out
My favourite misquote is "You're a wizard, Harry" when, in the movies, Hagrid actually said, "Harry, you're a wizard." And I'm pretty sure that line was never said in the books anyway.
the anthro-egg is used cause it makes sense what else aught sit on a wall fall & shatter beyond repair lots i guess but what would be easiest to draw & for a child to understand... an egg
Interesting avatar tidbit I learned the other day: so we all know Aang's childhood mentor monk Gyatso. He was based off of a real person, the former Dalai lama, Tenzin Gyatso. What was Aang's son's name? Tenzin. Yeah, not really all that hidden or lore-y but interesting.
You should do a theory on who everyone else's reincarnated lives are. It is implied that everyone in the Avatar world including the Avatar themselves is reincarnated. Its just that the Avatar has their bending ability passed down and they can talk to the past lives. Can everyone else talk to their past lives too if they are very spiritual like Jinora?
Humpty Dumpty is described as an egg in Lewis Caroll's 1871 novel, Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There, and illustrated as such in John Tenniel's artwork in that novel. So that's why I think of him as an egg.
Both Katara and Kora are southern water tribe. Possibly related, even if distant. Being inuet, a lot of tribal families are related by clan, marriage or sometimes adopted in.
I think this just comes down to an animation style. That being said you could do a video about korra being related to princess Yue. Follow the lead lol
11:56 we got one person part spirit and one that's all human and they make the next avatar, well not literally I'd like to point out the alternate universe where Aang died while Katara was giving birth
thoroughly appreciate taking the time to talk about how harmful it is to lie about others cultures, especially in relation to this meme cuz i had no idea it blatantly lied like that
Humpty dumpty was a cannon. And my favorite misquote is "blood is thicker than water" but its actually "The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.” meaning that your friends and brothers at arms are a stronger bond.
@@SuperCarlinBrothers it's not??? They're from the same race and culture, so it's obvious that they would share some physical features, specially considering how the fire nation decimated the southern water tribe and thus the possible variety of genes it could have had in the past
Ok it literally says in atla that each avatar will look like the loved one of the previous avatar. says it in almost exactly those words. Did nobody else get that, or did I just imagine it up? Sounds like something one would not go about missing so easily.

0:09 Yes.. Because they're both from the same tribe.. They resemble each other as much as a Chad resembles a Mark.. They don't REALLY look that much alike. They both have blue eyes, darker skin, and hair danglies.
I like the theory that the avatar looks like the last avatars love and the other theory that the avatar is born somewhere important to the last avatar so that means the next avatar avatar is going to be born in republic city with asamis face
@@prowiserpuffling9568 well she’s not gay she’s biy bit I doesn’t really matter who she ends up with in my opinion as long as she had a good character arc (which she did)
I don't think comparing their eyes is a fair way to say they look alike. Considering the three animation studios that worked on avatar couldn't agree on what her eyes looked like. One could easily pick another screenshot from another episode and say that they look different.
Fun idea but I personally think that the similarity is that they are two characters from the same small village. Also, avatar’s art style really only draws unique physical features if they are unique (all of boomie). For the most part, characters are fairly featureless and end up all looking pretty similar
@@yanyanzhang5813 anime is just what japanese call "cartoons". The japanese will refer to westerns cartoons as "anime" too, so wether you want to call it an anime or a cartoon is irrelevant since technically they mean the exact same thing. It's just that non japanese people tend to use the term "anime" for only japanese shows.
Though this should originate from the grimms. which is in german. "spieglein spieglein" which is indeed something like little mirror little mirror. That beeing said, i also found picture describtions that said, "magischer spiegel" translated in magical mirror.
right?? that’s exactly what i was thinking, the similarities stop at skin tone, eye colour and choice of clothes colour, all of which are common characteristics among all water tribe members, the only genuine similarity is eye shape, everything else is pretty different
@@mimi-fs8di i thought maybe jaw line or face shape, but that's a race thing. Zuko's granddaughter doesn't even look like him despite the supposed purity of the royal bloodline
yeah, even with the other examples it feels like they are looking at very vague similarities and just forcing their brains to think they look the same.
@@safebox36 they don’t even rly have similar face shapes, korra has a very oval one whereas katara’s is round, rly the only reason they seem to look alike is eye shape and being the same race tbh
I remember when LOKorra was first being advertised and getting confused by the similarity. I then assumed it was a cheap spin-off series about Katara lol
I always assumed that if aang were too die the next avatar would have been an waterbender from the southern pole which why the water benders in hamas time were wipe out and that when they was reportedly a lone surving waterbender after they were all wiped out they assumed it was the avatar and thats why kya was killed instead of taken hostage.
Did Anyone notice at 11:08 when you See The Picture of All The Avatars in The Video? That.. The One Fire Nation Avatar Directly In The Middle Behind Aang looks like an Adult Version of Azula??
With a point said at the beginning of the video, "Every Avatar looks so unique" while Aang looked unique in the time period he woke up in, compared to how he looked liked compared to all the other air benders of his original time he really didn't look unique. Sure he was one of (if not the youngest) Airbender to get his tattoos, so compared to all the other 12 year old Airbenders around him he looked pretty unique, but still he really wasn't that unique looking for an Airbender.
I want the next Avatar to be either a child of Opal x Bolin, or a descendant of one of the Sand Benders that took Appa- as a way to atone for their ancestors misdeeds, etc. Would be cool either way.
I actually think Korra looks nothing like me, her face is much longer and leaner, her eyes are a brighter blue, he hair is shorter and lighter, she is much taller and more muscular. Her hair has a totally different style then mine for the hair thing i think your just reaching. Our only resemblance is our skin tone, eye shape, a color pallet and thats just because we are both from the southern water tribe
Possible alternative theory: the face of the avatars' partners may be the most familiar to Raava, which she adopts as the face of the new avatar. This is assuming that the partner would be the person the avatar would see most often (or at least think about).
oh my gosh has no one noticed that korra looks like princess Yue, just think about it korra's dad was suppouse to be the cheif of the northern water tribe but unalaq took his birth right and korra's dad was banished but princess Yue was also the princess and yet to be cheif in the water tribe but she turned into the moon ( can't take that serously) and sooooooo that means that her father had a son that could be korra's dad or her grandpa which makes princess Yue either korra's aunt or great aunt depending on when her father died so korra is half spirt and she is realated to the moon great........... Edit: so many things spelled wrong, me being lazy
Hmm they never did say he was an egg Well they said he sat on a wall and nobody could put him back together when he fell implying that he broke... So what if he was a glass dish?
Pretty sure the fact that he is an egg came from a picture that went along with the story. So while it’s not stated he is an egg, it was shown that he was one.
I’m gonna assume based on the username you are in fact female. So one thing of note is that men actually have less cones in their eyes, meaning we see less color differentiation. So I and apparently our Carlin bro friends see the eyes as extremely close. Furthermore everybody across the board actually sees color differently as a whole outside of these biological trends between sexes, leading more into the case that a lot of us see far less differentiation between the eyes in question than you might actually think. Even further still is the idea that you also have to train your eye to get really good at discerning colors, so me as a musician, not my forte, so when I see colors similar to one another I might have a harder time differentiating than someone who has done so much art they can tell what shade of paint you’re using without reading the bottle. Needless to say it’s a little less cut and dry than you would think.

Something interesting about this is, that actual folk lore probably is created this way, by making up something that sounds good and giving it some other source that feels important. Of course, in the past cultures where less interconnected, so people wouldn't claim that it came from another culture and doing that creates or reinforces a wrong image of other cultures.

Esp since it isn’t consistent w beliefs of reincarnation. In East Asian religions you can reincarnate as insects, animals, plants sometimes Demi gods. How r u gonna look like your past insect lover

Korras eye shape is more like Tophs rather than kataras. there’s limitations when working with arts styles. Most characters wouldn’t even look like themselves if you were to change their hair or colour pallet.
He already showed if you face swapped Aang and Ty Lee no one would notice.
It's not quite a misquote, but the saying "curiosity killed the cat" is supposed to include "but satisfaction brought it back", which has rather the opposite intended meaning.
"blood is thicker than water" is a similar situation. "the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb", in other words, your friends/found family/ ect are more important than the perceived obligations to someone because they are related to you, but was mangled into "blood is thicker than water" which is used to imply the opposite
Jack of all trades but master of none ends with but better than a master of one which means the opposite too
@@brony4869 No they both are correct they originated from about the same time
@@brony4869 Yeah, this is a complete myth. The phrase 'Blood is thicker than water' dates back to the Early Modern Period, IE Shakespeare. 'The blood of the covenant if thicker than the water of the womb' only dates back to the 1990s. The people who made up the phrase CLAIMED that it dates back hundreds of years, but there are no attestations prior to the 1990s.
The saying is not supposed to include 'but satisfaction brought it back'. That was added in the early 20th century as a kind of rebuttal to the original phrase. It was originally intended to warn of unnecessary investigation.
I don’t have to watch. Imma take a quick guess and say “The avatar is reincarnated to look like the person they loved in there previous life” but let’s be honest, they were from the water tribe so they were bound to look similar.
Yeah you dont have to watch unless you wanna see some misquoted lines.

In universe it could be Ravaa giving the previous Avatar a chance to "see" their love in a reflection of their next self, or a reflection of just who the Avatar sees the most
and in another sense, if the previous Avatar's love is still alive, it could be a way for them to see how much the past Avatar loved them

Look at the picture of ADULT Katara and you see it.
PICKLEEEEEE 💚💚💚
"Before she died to revive a fish" great way to put it
It was an original quirk of the Avatars reincarnation cycle.
the original moonwalk did pick up what Neil Armstrong said but was not apparent in the rebroadcasting process and has been remastered with his original audio in recent years.
And Avatar was an awesome series
You cited Kyoshi as "different" but Kyoshi litterally has an entire island of warriors who look exactly like her.
Aang looks like every other air nomad
Roku looks like every old fire bender (look at old Zuko)
Every bending style/tribe has a look.
So trueeee
i mean the kyoshi warriors are supposed to look like her, thats the point
roku and zuko are related on zuko's mother's side. but i'll give you that one for aang
Kind of, but there are tons of different looking people.
Isn't that basically the same face syndrome of animation? If you give a person a similar hair and skin colour and they have a similar head shape they look basically the same.
Yeah, I think another factor for everyone looking similar is that the show only seems to have 5 or so faces and most characters would be indistinguishable if it weren't for their hair and head shape.
I just thought it was cuz they were both from water tribe. Also theory: Yue was supposed to be the next avatar because we were told that when she was born she was perfectly heathy but some thing was missing... that something being rava. Look at all of the times and average age of death. - Jordyn
They didn't say something was missing. Just that she was sick. And an avatar can only be born after the last one dies. This theory doesn't hold much grounds
3 months later but what I think noghtrodr is trying to say is if Aang hadn’t been frozen she would have been the avatar when he died around the time when she was born, not saying that confirms the theory ofc
And then 70 years later, korra became the avatar. The supposed to be princess of the northern watertribe. Like Yue.
It is so annoying that people keep reciting that we only use 10%of our brain. The correct statement was that we only understand how 10% of our brain functions
Funny
I thought it was that we only use 10% of it at a time, on average, since when we're doing different things we use different parts of our brain.
Did anyone else notice that he said "Japanese" and not "Chinese". Chinese is the main language/culture of the series. Yue's name is Chinese for moon, which she explains to Sokka. Also the entire written language is Chinese due to the fact that when Sokka was finding the date for the solar eclipse, I noticed the Chinese character for "one" which is ---- or Yī
. Just had to point that out
Actually, it’s a mix of all mythologies and cultures.
@@staticwolf4958 yeah true
My favourite misquote is "You're a wizard, Harry" when, in the movies, Hagrid actually said, "Harry, you're a wizard." And I'm pretty sure that line was never said in the books anyway.

Interesting avatar tidbit I learned the other day: so we all know Aang's childhood mentor monk Gyatso. He was based off of a real person, the former Dalai lama, Tenzin Gyatso. What was Aang's son's name? Tenzin. Yeah, not really all that hidden or lore-y but interesting.

You should do a theory on who everyone else's reincarnated lives are. It is implied that everyone in the Avatar world including the Avatar themselves is reincarnated. Its just that the Avatar has their bending ability passed down and they can talk to the past lives. Can everyone else talk to their past lives too if they are very spiritual like Jinora?
+
Where's this implied at all?
@@mylespope6203 that’s my question
Humpty Dumpty is described as an egg in Lewis Caroll's 1871 novel, Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There, and illustrated as such in John Tenniel's artwork in that novel. So that's why I think of him as an egg.
Both Katara and Kora are southern water tribe. Possibly related, even if distant. Being inuet, a lot of tribal families are related by clan, marriage or sometimes adopted in.
I love how Avatar has become as enthusiastically embraced by this channel as much as the likes of Marvel or Harry Potter 😊
It should be
I think this just comes down to an animation style. That being said you could do a video about korra being related to princess Yue. Follow the lead lol
Favorite misquote: "Beam me up, Scotty." Which was never actually said in Star Trek.
Same same
tbh, since the avatar is by lore a reincarnation of their past lives, it kinda makes sense their reincarnation would based someone they care for most
11:56
we got one person part spirit and one that's all human and they make the next avatar, well not literally
I'd like to point out the alternate universe where Aang died while Katara was giving birth
thoroughly appreciate taking the time to talk about how harmful it is to lie about others cultures, especially in relation to this meme cuz i had no idea it blatantly lied like that
Humpty dumpty was a cannon. And my favorite misquote is "blood is thicker than water" but its actually "The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.” meaning that your friends and brothers at arms are a stronger bond.
Ironic
Also "Curiosity killed the cat" is actually "Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back."
The blood quote thing actually isn’t true. The short version is the original version and it just meant family ties are more important. Pretty lame.
Thankyou for knowing that humpty was a Cannon
Because they are both from the southern water tribe
That is actually pretty irrelevant to this theory
@@SuperCarlinBrothers how is it irrelevant? basically answered the question
@@SuperCarlinBrothers yes, but that is actually right. They are both from the southern water tribe, so genetically they would look the same.
@@SuperCarlinBrothers How is this unrelated?? The Southern Water Tribe has very few people in it, so Katara and Korra are probably related anyway.
@@SuperCarlinBrothers it's not??? They're from the same race and culture, so it's obvious that they would share some physical features, specially considering how the fire nation decimated the southern water tribe and thus the possible variety of genes it could have had in the past
Ok it literally says in atla that each avatar will look like the loved one of the previous avatar. says it in almost exactly those words. Did nobody else get that, or did I just imagine it up? Sounds like something one would not go about missing so easily.
I’m so grateful for how mindful and socially aware the supercarlinbrothers channel is. Thank you so much for acknowledging the detriments for rewriting another culture’s history and culture.

I like the theory that the avatar looks like the last avatars love and the other theory that the avatar is born somewhere important to the last avatar so that means the next avatar avatar is going to be born in republic city with asamis face
i never knew korra was gay i thought she was just gonna be single for ever
@@prowiserpuffling9568 well she’s not gay she’s biy bit I doesn’t really matter who she ends up with in my opinion as long as she had a good character arc (which she did)
Maybe it's who she died with or who she loved and saw the most idk
I always thought it was the "your face is the face of your lover in a past life" thing haha
Ps. Aang's spirit could have chosen someone from the Northern Water tribe. But nope.
Because each avatar has the face of the person the previous avatar loved the most.
Indeed!
Didnt have to watch the video anymore
How- does Aang look like Roku's son or something?
Ozai and my boy Ung don't really look that similar
Korra’s successor is gonna be gorgeous
I actually never made that correlation, I thought they were distinct facially. But i can kinda see it, i guess
I don't think comparing their eyes is a fair way to say they look alike. Considering the three animation studios that worked on avatar couldn't agree on what her eyes looked like. One could easily pick another screenshot from another episode and say that they look different.
Fun idea but I personally think that the similarity is that they are two characters from the same small village. Also, avatar’s art style really only draws unique physical features if they are unique (all of boomie). For the most part, characters are fairly featureless and end up all looking pretty similar
The real reason: all anime characters look the same.
the animation isn’t anime
@@user-ug7ow3gh8o yes it is lol. The illustrators are obviously trying to imitate an anime art style.
@@yanyanzhang5813 the show didn’t originate in japan therefore it isn’t anime. sure the art style might be similar, but it isn’t considered anime
@@user-ug7ow3gh8o except that’s false? That’s like claiming Teen Titans isn’t an anime.
@@yanyanzhang5813 anime is just what japanese call "cartoons". The japanese will refer to westerns cartoons as "anime" too, so wether you want to call it an anime or a cartoon is irrelevant since technically they mean the exact same thing. It's just that non japanese people tend to use the term "anime" for only japanese shows.
"Mirror Mirror on the wall" for sure. In the 1937 Disney movie it's actually "Magic mirror on the wall."
No, it is "Magic Mirror on the wall" in the Disney movie.
I think everybody says "Mirror Mirror" because of Shrek.
Though this should originate from the grimms.
which is in german.
"spieglein spieglein"
which is indeed something like little mirror little mirror. That beeing said, i also found picture describtions that said, "magischer spiegel" translated in magical mirror.
She...doesn't?
Other than them both being from the Southern Water Tribe, they look nothing alike.
right?? that’s exactly what i was thinking, the similarities stop at skin tone, eye colour and choice of clothes colour, all of which are common characteristics among all water tribe members, the only genuine similarity is eye shape, everything else is pretty different
@@mimi-fs8di i thought maybe jaw line or face shape, but that's a race thing.
Zuko's granddaughter doesn't even look like him despite the supposed purity of the royal bloodline
Honestly, they don't even have the same eye color or face shape. Even their noses are different widths. They just look different.
yeah, even with the other examples it feels like they are looking at very vague similarities and just forcing their brains to think they look the same.
@@safebox36 they don’t even rly have similar face shapes, korra has a very oval one whereas katara’s is round, rly the only reason they seem to look alike is eye shape and being the same race tbh
I remember when LOKorra was first being advertised and getting confused by the similarity. I then assumed it was a cheap spin-off series about Katara lol
same
I always assumed that if aang were too die the next avatar would have been an waterbender from the southern pole which why the water benders in hamas time were wipe out and that when they was reportedly a lone surving waterbender after they were all wiped out they assumed it was the avatar and thats why kya was killed instead of taken hostage.
Did Anyone notice at 11:08 when you See The Picture of All The Avatars in The Video?
That.. The One Fire Nation Avatar Directly In The Middle Behind Aang looks like an Adult Version of Azula??
idk how you even see the detail in her face, probably because I’m on my phone
I never felt that they look similarly. 😄
Personaly i dont see this. But its still fun to think about.
Haven't watched it yet but my guess is it's because apparently you look like who you loved in a past life.
I'll edit when I watch it lol
With a point said at the beginning of the video, "Every Avatar looks so unique" while Aang looked unique in the time period he woke up in, compared to how he looked liked compared to all the other air benders of his original time he really didn't look unique. Sure he was one of (if not the youngest) Airbender to get his tattoos, so compared to all the other 12 year old Airbenders around him he looked pretty unique, but still he really wasn't that unique looking for an Airbender.
I want the next Avatar to be either a child of Opal x Bolin, or a descendant of one of the Sand Benders that took Appa- as a way to atone for their ancestors misdeeds, etc.
Would be cool either way.
Genji: *cough cough* :v has entered: da chat *cough cough*
I thought I was as early as Azula in the beach episode but I am as late as her mother giving her love 😭
😹🙌
Ikr
I actually think Korra looks nothing like me, her face is much longer and leaner, her eyes are a brighter blue, he hair is shorter and lighter, she is much taller and more muscular. Her hair has a totally different style then mine for the hair thing i think your just reaching. Our only resemblance is our skin tone, eye shape, a color pallet and thats just because we are both from the southern water tribe
💥
Katara has her hair loopies and kora has her hair droopies lol😂😂
Possible alternative theory: the face of the avatars' partners may be the most familiar to Raava, which she adopts as the face of the new avatar. This is assuming that the partner would be the person the avatar would see most often (or at least think about).
oh my gosh has no one noticed that korra looks like princess Yue,
just think about it korra's dad was suppouse to be the cheif of the northern water tribe but unalaq took his birth right and korra's dad was banished but princess Yue was also the princess and yet to be cheif in the water tribe but she turned into the moon ( can't take that serously) and sooooooo that means that her father had a son that could be korra's dad or her grandpa which makes princess Yue either korra's aunt or great aunt depending on when her father died
so korra is half spirt and she is realated to the moon
great...........

Was the “get it right” really necessary?
@@PlaceholderDoe123 yes it was
I’m gonna assume based on the username you are in fact female. So one thing of note is that men actually have less cones in their eyes, meaning we see less color differentiation. So I and apparently our Carlin bro friends see the eyes as extremely close. Furthermore everybody across the board actually sees color differently as a whole outside of these biological trends between sexes, leading more into the case that a lot of us see far less differentiation between the eyes in question than you might actually think. Even further still is the idea that you also have to train your eye to get really good at discerning colors, so me as a musician, not my forte, so when I see colors similar to one another I might have a harder time differentiating than someone who has done so much art they can tell what shade of paint you’re using without reading the bottle. Needless to say it’s a little less cut and dry than you would think.
