tf you talking about. It's the complete opposite 99% of the time. Villains always monologue and give away their entire plan... He's not some big brain, well written villain just because he explains his plan to the audience... 🤦♂
Wow, I totally missed Tenzin's air "seismic" sense the first 7 times I watched this show! It makes sense, he IS a master airbender and he learned from the Avatar himself.
It’s demonstrated in book 3 that you don’t even need to be a master to do that, being an air bender and/or being bald gave him inherent feeling of incoming objects due to air displacement thus can gets. Feel for the size and relative shape to properly dodge it explains pragmatically why the air nomads are depicted as bald most of the time
@@Xeno-The-Wanderer it’s such a cool detail they added. Probably my favorite thing about LoK is how they expanded on the lore we saw in ATLA. Stuff like the origin of the Avatar and what the tattoos mean and why they shave their heads. I love that kind of stuff.
One of the best parts about the Tenzin vs Zaheer fight was it was one of the only (if not the only) times we've seen an airbender use brute force. For the most part Tenzin fought in classic airbender style, or evasion and adjusting position for a better strike. But as the fight progresses you can tell Tenzin has realised that he's not just more skilled. He's a lot stronger than Zaheer as well. Several of Zaheer's attacks were quite literally just slapped aside.
3:20 "I will make no such promises" yeah I feel that. Glad no one ever placed any bets against me on how bad I would be as a teenager. I would've lost.
the avatar state is defense mechansim. You should not use it if you don't need to since it is also the avatar weakness. If you die in the avatar state the reincarnation will end. So yes, don't use it like a bootster to win a race.
@@ajh3461 Kyoshi: "I lived for 2 centuries to clean up the mess left by my predecessor/s so that Roku wouldn't have a hard time, and the Avatar cycle ends like this? Of course."
No, everyone would do the same. He just wanted to be sure. Have u remember the match Ghazan vs Bolin? Then Mako involved. That was the same situation. The battles are never fair.
Shouldn't every air bender be terrified of him? Zaheer just got his powers, and he is fighting the son of the Avatar who also happens to be the strongest air bender alive.
He tries to be like his father in personality but he cant. Imagine if he wasn’t though. He’d be very unhinged. I think his ability to be that angry is why he’s one of the strongest benders in Kora
What I love about Tenzin is he is the first time we REALLY see an air bending master at work. Yes, Aang mastered air bending in ATLA but not to the same degree as Tenzin in LOK. That’s something I tend to forget when watching ATLA is Aang “mastered” the elements but never truly became a master during the run of the show. Hence why he never really started to beat Ozai until he had the Avatar state. Meanwhile the White Lotus members in ATLA truly seemed to have their elements down after proper aging as Iroh would put it.
Any Master Airbender who learned the ability can do it. However, air sphere is an ability that only an Avatar can do; we see Aang use it in his fight against Ozai to fly.
@@YSorrowYouths_Backup if you're talking about that thing where you surround yourself in a ball of air, then meelo (tenzin's son) did a mini version of it once

Tenzin is quite powerful and skilled. I mean, hey, he took on Zaheer, Ghazan and Ming Hua and only lost because none of the others had a chance to stop P'li which resulted in P'li hitting Tenzin three times with her combustionbending. Zaheer and Ming Hua were no match for him. And Ghazan's lavabending is ineffective against airbenders since they can dodge easily if they have the space. On the other hand, none of his opponents used his full power except from Zaheer...🤔
Tenzin - along with Bumi - not only was the son of Avatar Aang, but someone who had his spirit and was always a master who channeled Kyoshi's airbending.
Very possibly. However, Pl'i was far more skilled then Sparky Sparky Boom Man in the style, both in control and force, her attacks seemed to move much faster and was often used mid attack or movement, making it much harder to actually dodge
3:12 Penma: "Dear, the best thing you can do right now is to give Korra some space." Tenzin: "Space.... what a marvelous idea". _Tenzin airbends Korra into the Earth's orbit_
At 3:26 i like to imagine it wasn’t exactly the avatar state korra used, as that may imply the combined experience of all avatars before, but rather korra specifically calling upon aang and aang taking over to have fun with his grandkids if only for a moment
Have Tenzin or the White lotus thought of why korra wasn’t able to airbend keep her confined to her home airbending represends freedom and that is the one thing she was barely allowed
Can we just pause for a moment and appreciate how amazing J. K. Simmons was as Tenzin? His voice really made the character to me.
I think we can all agree that J. K. Simmons' voice always stick the landing when it comes to the characters he plays.
"BRING ME PICTURES OF SPIDERMAN!"
"THINK, MARK!"
"WAIT YOU TOOK MY NAME? "
@@Lorfo11 Ford Pines agrees
Let's just appreciate how it took four master benders of the four elements with very advanced bending skills working together to take down Tenzin.
A master indeed
They weren’t even trying when they fought him just toyed with him. Although I can say the same with him not going all out

Tenzin's fight against the red lotus was the best fight in the series of LoK imo.
Second for me. My favorite was everyone against Kuvira's giant mech, but that's mainly because I love giant mechs.
Had to face all of the 4 elements but dunno combustionbending is firebending it’s just explosions
Korra (while being poisoned) vs. Zaheer is what got me hooked.

It is only the full power of the lotus that can beat him. Tenzin learnt from the best.
Exactly.
He almost did, until the rest of the Red Lotus intervened.
I mean let's face it, if the red lotus existed in the atla part of history the gaang would've treated them like chumps.
The fight he had against the Red Lotus always shaped the peak of my respect for Tenzin as a character and Air bending master.
