LOL dis true
@@thicduck1864 You are right. Azula is a lot worse than Kuvira. I mean, at least Kuvira had redeem herself
Badasses!
@belfastgiant1 but Kuvira realized about her mistakes and she had the will to change, exactly like Zuko
I love how Korra was willing to sacrifice her mind so that Asami would return to normal. That’s true love right there.
Korra and Asami were really finna get it in😂😂😂
13:39 Asami is biting her lip knowing what’s about to come and korra giving her THAT look.
adriana jaimes su had to come😳
LMAOO THEY WERE
Funny how Korra was going straight to bottom position tho
thank god im not alone in these visions xD
13:38 Asami biting her lip when Korra leads her to bed... hahaha.. who else saw that!? XD
Asami is in a perpetual state of thirst for Korra. We saw it in Turf Wars and it doesn't appear to have changed much here either 😂
ooooooooh ! true ! thanks for the share ! :P
Lmao I just noticed that xd

@Plague Doctor Mate, he's trolling you. Don't waste your time over this attention seeking child.
Korra and Asami were about to get into it in the bedroom scene
LMAOO
This lowkey made me sad. Damn the background music.
The fact Korra and Asami share a guest room makes you ponder where Korra lives in Republic City now. Granted, Asami's mansion is currently hosting Mako and Bolin's family from Ba Sing Se. But it's not too far fetched Asami has been using the master bedroom since her dad got arrested; so plenty of room for Korra.
I really liked this ending, Kuvira was a horrible person but she redeemed herself and showed that she had good in her, and despite all she has done, she wanted to make up for it and didn't want anyone to feel hurt by her havoc.
It was a very emotional book and she proved to us she has good in her despite everything she had done.
I don’t think she was a horrible person I think it was the People around her that made her almost act like that her acting like that was a defensive mechanism
Joel Faustino I see your point, but to be fair, she kinda destroyed a third of a city atleast, so...
@@joelfaustino1077 i don't understand what you mean but it does her fault with destroying and almost kill everyone but i respect kuvira why she is a bad girl and now is a happy ending

Korra and Asami were about to make their first move until Su interrupted. They'll have their first move in another time.
Lol I noticed that too. They were about to get it in 😂
I thought i was the only one who noticed that.🤣🤣🤣

Hahahahaaaa... you are soooo right... guess I am a too realistic mind that I thought that it of course already happened.. but when you said it thought: daaaamn..that makes perfect sense with Korras comment... hahaahahahaaa
oh believe me, with how casual they were being, they've had plenty of.. moves.
Korra and Asami were just about to smash tho…. This moment I definitely knew.
idk why but it felt good hearing/reading Kuvira taking responsibility for her actions and plea guilty for all she done :)
Glad there another redemption chance in Avatar not just Zuko.
@@a.rtomboy6202 but i don't think Zuko killed anyone at least not to my knowledge
Taye T. Akinde Not for a lack of trying, though! If we’re being honest about it, the kids in these shows should have killed dozens to hundreds of people with their bending... The shows just sort of sidestep the consequences of hitting someone with a two ton boulder or a fireball strong enough to blow apart a two tom boulder.
Kuviras regret is pretty weird in my mind. Maybe if this Arc had been longer and she had not just turned good so suddenly and drastically...
Speaking for myself, I don't really see the arguement for the dislike of Kuvira's arc. Since her debut in season 3, she's been shown to have a stone-cold personality and iron will. I thought it was fairly obvious she was coded as having antisocial personality disorder from approximately her 3rd appearance in season 4.
This doesn't excuse her actions of course, merely explain them.
Toph:
*I'm too old for this,I miss my swamp*
i wish they gave azula a redemption arc like they did to Kuvira
Edit: Thanks for all the likes and the interesting replies!!
the next azula comic story will come sooner or later
@@Rakonax Wait, really? Do you have actual info on this? If so, that's awesome!
@Mako I mean, Bryke _really_ messed up with Mako and the comics didn't really do Azula justice, but I wouldn't say it's necessarily a pattern. Just look at Zuko, with his phenomenal character arc and legion of fangirls...
@Mako Yeah... I don't consider LOK a part of my personal cannon for that and a number of other reasons. I've half-seriously toyed with the idea of writing a fanfiction of LOK as I wanted it to be, or at least of the first season. One of the major changes would be that much more focus would be placed on the tensions between benders and non-benders, and between different races, as a result of the Hundred Year War and the technological boom that followed, and I would use Mako and Bolin as a vehicle to explore these issues. As a result, Mako's main priority would be looking out for his brother and himself in a world that increasingly seems to have no place for them, and he would have an arc outside of being the obligatory love interest. In fact, I would stick with Makorra in the end, but I would develop it over at least two seasons and give them a completely different dynamic. In the beginning, Korra was inexperienced and a bit of a brat due to her unusual upbringing, and Mako would be perhaps the first person who doesn't care that she's the Avatar and refuses to take any of her crap, at the same time challenging her naive assumptions about the world. There would be mutual dislike at first that would turn to friendship by the end of season one as they're forced to rely on each other. My version of Mako has none of the wishy-washiness of the original and is all around a much darker, more intelligent, and cynical character. He's someone who believes in looking out for himself because no one else will, and is skeptical that someone as important as the Avatar would actually care about insignificant people like himself and Bolin. Korra, of course, manages to change his mind, and at the same time he tempers some of her foolish optimism.
As for Azula, I get what you're saying about her attractiveness but I think you're forgetting that she's, y'know, insane. A relationship with her, at least at this stage, would most likely be a manipulative and mutually self-destructive disaster. Even if she were to overcome her mental illness and be redeemed, I doubt it would be very high on her priority list, as independent as she is. That's not to say it would _never_ happen, but I personally don't consider it a necessary part of Azula's character arc. I'd much rather see her deal with her parental baggage and finally gain some peace of mind.
Not gonna spoil anything, but I was honestly kinda disappointed by how Azula was written after The Search comic.
For those who are worried, this is not the last comic for either series. Creative teams are returning. Books aren’t always announced right after the last one ends. Also, the Avatar 15 year anniversary is coming up very soon. It’s very possible announcements have been held off until then. Relax guys. There’s more coming. Technically this book isn’t even officially released yet. Patience.
I kind of figured that as I've been watching the korra comic and they still have the hole triple threat spirit guy.
Avatar the last Airbender is about to 15 years old!!! No way!!
Yeah, we still have alot of loose ends. Like Azula, the whole fire nation ect.
Riko Sato AHHH! Thanks for the reassurance good person, and by the way I love your profile picture!
Moose_ Sauce thank you!
Is no one going to talk about how Kuvira and Baatar jr were raised as siblings?
EDIT: as I’ve realized that though Suyin claims she raised Kuvira as her own it’s become more obvious to me that this isn’t true. Throughout Book 3 she’s never threated as part of the family nor is she even included in their family picture. So her and Baatar jr dating might not be so weird after all.
yup and I hate that 😂

Kuvira is like Zuko, she had a tough past, and she is still having problems with herself, but now she is trying to redeem herself and shoe everyone who she really is, she isnt that evil person anymore who is trying to destroy what they created. She has an amazing story arch, maybe just like Zuko's.
@Ellie FullerI think comparing Zuko's arc to Korra's is more accurate
I think if this had another book or two, this would have been a near perfect series. So many things seemed so rushed near the end because of the "3 Book" restraint that everything had to wrapped up so quickly. Overall, it was a pretty good arc, though.
The last one definitely felt rushed. I wished they could've hashed out kuvira's emotional turmoils growing up, feeling rejected by her adoptive family (specifically Opal)
Yeah, I hope they'll do some longer arcs in the future stretching across 4 or 5 books.
9:46 opal is a 💩💩💩💩💩💩fucking trashhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I feel like that has been The Legend of Korra biggest problem, everything feels rushed. I feel like if it had the same amount of episodes per season as Last Airbender than the story and characters would feel more fleshed out. I'm saying I hated the show or it's characters it's just my opinion
@@patrickmcguire7896. How and fleshed out all of the characters and learned more about the backstories

Also I love how korra knows what kuvira is is thinking and is headed as they are very similar in ways and it’s something Korra would do in the first 2 books and may still do as even tho she has developed and grown ppl will still revert a little into old habits

Yeah I kinda felt the same about that. I mean she did kill a lot of people but I kinda liked it a little bit
Burning Ember I mean, this kind of seems appropriate. She plead guilty leading to a lesser sentence and let’s face it The Metal Clan probably has the best chance at helping her become a slightly more capable functional member of society. I mean they took in Varrick and look how he turned out.
26:38 that one guard’s face, I can’t get over it xD he looks so confused and surprised, it’s hilarious
this a better redemtion then most series i've recently seen as she is still paying for her crimes but trying to make amends for what she did unlike other characters who gets off scott free and are still terrible as they learn nothing.

Isn't that basically her childhood again where she had a rich home but decided to go on a dangerous journey with the Avatar instead LOL

Oh my god i love kuvira so damn much. As the hero she was perfect and as the villain aswell. Her story of childhood was so good too.
MY FEELIIIIINGSSSSS AWWWWW THAT END WAS AWESOME. I never loved Kuvira so much xd
There should’ve been a better wrap up between Opal and Kuvira but I still enjoyed this
Agreed
I mean, it was Opal who said Kuvira would always be a part of this family. I'd call that wrapped up
@@haydenberends3905But just a few pages ago she was completely against her and now she suddenly excepts her?
@@craigpeoples9883 "Just a few pages?" More like back in Part II. She redeemed herself during that period, which caused Opal to change her mind.
@@haydenberends3905Still, considering that over the course of this storyline, Opal wrongly accuses Kuvira of not feeling guilty for everything she did when she lead the Earth Empire (even after Kuvira surrenders herself to the Beifongs and says she would accept any punishment deemed necessary by the world, even apologizing to Suyin for what she has done); insinuates that Kuvira would have gladly resorted to brainwashing in order to stay in power, and that the thought had just never occurred to her; jumps to the false conclusion that Kuvira has taken advantage of Suyin's goodwill and betrayed her again, and insist that Suyin admit as much; and acts indignant whenever Suyin decides to give Kuvira the benefit of the doubt, even accusing Suyin of always having had a soft spot for Kuvira (completely ignoring the facts that, just three years, Suyin cast Kuvira our for wanting to go out and stop all the chaos in the Earth Kingdom, never offered her a chance to come back like she did Bataar, and ― just *three months* ago ― *tried to assassinate Kuvira* in spite of a truce Korra had brokered with Kuvira); her assurance to Kuvira at the end that while she might not have been born a Beifong, she will always be part of the family, really does come across Opal pulling a complete 180. Especially since, even while doing to this, she never really admits to having misjudged Kuvira nor apologizes for how she treated her.
My opinion is not helped by fact that it's stated by Bolin in the first issue that Opal had told him that Kuvira had always pushed people away in the past and had rejected Opal's attempts at friendship when the two of them were growing up; only for the third issue's flashback of their childhood to show *Opal rejecting Kuvira* , refusing to acknowledge her as her adopted sister and calling her " *a stray dog that nobody ever wanted, not even her real parents* ". In fact, it seems to imply Opal gave Bolin a self-biased account of her and Kuvira's history and has possibly been skewing that story in her favor her entire life.
I’m glad Kuvira got a second chance. In the end of season 4 I felt bad when she said “my parents casted me away like I was nothing.” I just wished that Noatak and Tarrlok had a second chance, their lives were ruined from the start.
Me too, they may have thought they were too far gone to change but imo they weren't, they just needed help. Book 4 Korra could've been that help, with how mature she becomes
@@PKryik yeah, they were good men until Yakone corrupted them with bloodbending
This should have been animated togather with the earlier comics. It would have be a better series then making avatar the last airbinder live action series. When people tries to touch gold thinking it will get more shiny then the way it was- they'll most likely end up ruin it. I hope im wrong. But i get a feeling from other previous animated series to movies- that the animation will always win.
And for the comic, i wanted to see Korra and Asami getting married and Asami has a baby. I hope in the future comic, if they will be, we'll get to see it. Holding fingers ♥️
Me too... I want them to get married.
This was a great comic but Part 3 feels rushed and it seems they retconned Kuvira's relationship with the Beifong family.
In Book 4, Suyin explicitly stated that Kuvira was LIKE a daughter to her meaning she was never legally adopted into the family hence why her last name isnt Beifong.
In Book 3, Suyin doesn't introduce Kuvira as one of her kids and doesn't bother to correct Lin when she states it must be a nightmare to have 5 kids when she has 6 if you count Kuvira. Kuvira also isnt present in the family photos nor is she seen dining with the rest of the family at Opal's going away dinner.
Suyin acted very coldly towards Kuvira when she simply asked her to reconsider restoring order. She had the nerve to banish her adoptive daughter but not her biological son who plotted behind her back along with Kuvira. She is willing to pull some strings to get Baatar a more lenient sentence but not Kuvira which is ridiculous as Baatar is just as guilty as Kuvira as he was aware of her policies and helped her implement them. He was the one who wanted to take Zaofu by force while Kuvira preferred to take it through negotiation.
I wished we could see Kuvira interact more with Huan and especially Baatar Sr.Also they really didn't flesh out Kuvira's past as well as I wanted.
Exactly what I was thinking! In the series, Kuvira was obviously not an equal part of the family (especially because of Suyin's behavior). Heck, Suyin tried to KILL Kuvira in book 4! When Kuvira was having temporary truth with Korra! (If Su had succeeded, Baatar Jr would have been the new commander of the Earth Empire (he was stated to be Kuvira's second in command), so Su would have had to kill him too. But of course, Su would never kill her real children, only Kuvira, whom she obviously never loved as deeply).
And in the first comic of this trilogie, Kuvira finally brought up that she was never really part of the family!
But no, instead of maybe having Su realize that she maybe isn't the enlightened innocent perfect person, the last comic just ignores all these established things and paints Su again as the most selfless mother ever! Because god forbid that we, the viewers, maybe see Toph's daughter in a negative light for once.
(Sorry for the rant, I'm just so annoyed by how Suyin-can-do-no-wrong-Beifong always gets special treatment by the series, even to the point where the writers establish a new canon just so she can be the perfect good guy again.)
This would also mean Baatar Jr. would be like a brother to Kuvira...and she almost married the man.
I agree, it was a great comic, but it did feel like things were happening too quickly in part 3. Perhaps it could have benefited from a 4th issue?
You make some good points here
My thoughts exactly
Kuvira has always been my favorite ;)

I'm really glad Kuvira got a redemption arc at the end, I really thought she was a cool character. :)
This chapter was super rushed and honestly makes this arc kinda lackluster. Also nobody is going to talk about how much Opal has hated Kuvira even as kids and didn't even consider her her sister? Like no wonder she felt like she wasn't part of the family
Agreed. I felt it too and I am pretty forgiving of the Korra series. They were definitely hinting at tension between Opal and Kuvira and the endless patience Su gave to Kuvira. That got dropped very quickly.
@@madhippy3 lol ikr. I'm surprised no one told Opal to shut up because that obviously dramatically affected Kuvira especially since those are the memories that came up when her mind was being messed with. Tbh it makes sense though considering Su's kids were probably rich and spoiled their whole life
I wish this was explained more in depth or when su said you need to control you impulses so you don’t hurt anyone like you hurt your mother what does that mean
That hardly justifies her actions.
@@gavinmanns490 She tried killing her biological mother. I agree it felt sort of rushed. At the end I thought, "That was it?"
As much as I love Kuvira and the idea of "Ruins of the Empire", I can't help but feel like this third comic was a little too rushed and couldn't quite deliver on everything the first two comics have been setting up. Kuvira's redemption arc should have had at least five comics I'd say.
For one, Bolin's struggle with finding himself wasn't resolved at all. Wu's struggle with taking responsibility and being a good ruler was also not really adressed further, but the solution for it was at a good one.
Kuvira's relationship with Baatar Jr. wasn't resolved here, but that's fine, since that really takes more time (and hopefully will be further adressed in future Korra comics). Kuvira's and Asami's relationship, on the other hand, really should have had more development. Especially since I wanted to see Kuvira directly talk about that issue and apologize to Asami.
Kuvira's arc itself felt kinda rushed in the end. It was set up so well: Kuvira was now working with the good guys, but she mostly did it for her own reputation and to get out of prison. She was still thinking that all her actions were justified, and whenever someone confronted her about the problems she caused, she was quick to defend herself. Her mindset can only slowly change when she goes through all the denial and even hate against her (especially Asami and Baatar Jr.) she herself caused, almost gets the reeducation camp treatment (brainwashing), gets a lot of distrust and so on. She has to get slapped in the face with the consequences of her actions, in order to develop. This all happens up until one third of this comic. The problem is that Kuvira changes a bit too sudden and by the end of this comic (the same comic where she in the beginning still sees almost killing her fiancé as justified) she suddenly feels bad and guilty about everything she did. Her redemption arc was started and set up so well, that it really deserved a just as satisfying conclusion.
My biggest issue, however, is how Kuvira's relationship with the Beifongs/her "family" was handled. In the series, there were so many hints that Kuvira was never really part of the family. Her missing on the family picture, her missing at Opal's farewell dinner, Su not introducing her to Team Avatar, Su not correcting Lin when she talked about five (instead of six) kids being a nightmare. When Kuvira in the first comic said that she was never really part of the family and mentioned that she was treated differently than Opal, I was so glad that the comics promised to finally adress this and maybe have Suyin finally realize that she perhaps isn't that perfect enlightened innocent person she thinks she is and finally have her develop some responsibility herself. But no, all of a sudden, Suyin has always been a perfect mom to her adopted daughter (the flashback in this comic completely contradicts itself with what we saw in the series). Instead, Opal, who "always tried to be Kuvira's friend" is the one who doesn't accept Kuvira into the family and insults her behind her back in the flashback. That's what really frustrates me with this comic.
(In general, I feel like it's a big problem of the series and the comics that they paint Suyin as a much better person than she actually is).
Overall I still enjoyed this trilogy a lot, especially Kuvira, I just wish it would have been longer so that it would have done everything it could have done.
Completely agree with you about it being rushed and about the way they treated Kuvira's relationship with the Beifongs, especially their portrayal of Suyin. Something I might add is that the flashbacks in the comics make Kuvira seem like maybe she was always a little violent and unhinged, which I suppose might explain why she eventually turned "evil", but first we're given this picture of an innocent child abandoned for no reason and treated differently by her adoptive family, and then these comics make it seem like her parents and the Beifongs might have had a reason for their behavior. Especially the fact that she apparently _killed her mother_ in a fit of rage. It was an accident, but I still don't like it. In the flashbacks, she's never really shown as the victim. She's yelled at and locked in her room by her parents, sure, but only after she breaks something (I think; it's been a while), and then she proceeds to demolish the wall of their house. She's abandoned, but only after she, ahem, _kills her mother_ . Not the most compassionate parenting ever, but honestly, pretty understandable. Opal calls her a stray dog, but she's a selfish, immature kid dealing with unexpected disruptions to her family life, and it's only after Kuvira crushes the dollhouse out of spite because Opal wouldn't let her play with it.
It's almost like there are two versions of Kuvira presented by the show and the comics. In the show, she conquered the Earth Kingdom and took over because of her abandonment issues, which, had it been explored, could have actually been a compelling motivation and made her into a more complex character. (I commented on another of these videos why I didn't like the handling of Kuvira in the show either, but that's beyond the scope of this reply.) Now, it's no surprise, because she was always a tyrant and maybe even a little psychotic. Basically, what I'm trying to say is that the comics don't do a good job making Kuvira seem sympathetic to the audience through her backstory, even though that seems to be what they're trying to accomplish. Which isn't at all helped by this new angelic version of Suyin who apparently never joined a gang, participated in a heist and who knows what else, scarred her sister's face, forced her mother to resign as chief of police, and then gallivanted all over the world without ever having to serve time. Kuvira's psychotic tendencies also beg the question of how she was able to rise to the position of a shrewd and sensible world leader and remain there for some time, although that could be chalked up to the influence of MarySuyin. (Sorry, I just had to make that pun.) They do surface eventually, but only _after_ she's conquered the entire Earth Kingdom and managed to win the trust of the other world leaders and the legitimate government in the process. So... it looks like they come out of nowhere.
You could make the case that Kuvira's story is more or less plausible: She's a kid with anger issues in a dysfunctional household; she goes too far one day and kills her mother by mistake; she's abandoned by her parents because of this; she develops her coping mechanism of never taking responsibility for her actions to avoid dealing with the guilt; she's treated differently by her adoptive siblings because of her behavior; through Suyin's effort and patience she gets her impulses under control but still harbors some resentments due to her warped view of the world; she sees the Earth Kingdom in danger and sees no one doing anything about it, which speaks to her feelings of abandonment, so she decides to do something; she's successful until her issues catch up with her, leading to megalomania. It sorta makes sense. However, it's much less interesting or satisfying than the complex, nuanced character Kuvira could have been. That's how I see it, anyway.
@@maladjustedmaverick6619 I mostly agree with everything you said, but may I ask were you got the fact that Kuvira killed her mother from? Because Su only said that Kuvira hurt her mother, so it didn't seem to me like she really killed her.
I also imagined Kuvira's backstory to be different. In my headcanon her parents abandoned her because they were to poor, and she would live on the streets almost starving until Suyin somehow took her in. It would give her a very strong motivation to help the Earth kingdom by all means, if she herself experienced the EK's poverty firsthand.
Kuvira having always had violent impulses takes a little bit away from her complexity, since her present self seems very composed and calculated most of the time, especially in this comic.
It would still make sense for her to become corrupt during her reign. She was young and unexperienced when she came to power, and stabilizing Ba Sing Se probably taught her that she could only bring order by doing so with an iron fist and without compromise. So she united the rest of the Earth kingdom the same way, but in doing so became so corrupt that she maybe didn't realize or not care anymore when she crossed the line.
Btw love that MarySu pun.
@@lucaras7689 Whoops, you're right, it was stated that she hurt her mother, not killed. Sorry, I'm pretty sleep deprived. Just ignore that bit.
Otherwise, I like your headcanon, and I think that if your reasons for Kuvira becoming corrupt had been made apparent LOK season 4 would have made much more sense.
@@lucaras7689 Lol, I'm glad! I was afraid it was too lame.
I mean, this is only the end of one series. Hopefully they'll announce more Avatar graphic novel projects in time.
I'm literally crying! What a beautiful ending
9:46 opal is a fucking trash 😡
"SIGH" It does my dark heart to see asami to be not a brain washed bad guy anymore also i'm glad kuvira got the chance to redeem her self if though she was a bad guy she did have good intentions.............also SU BAD TIMING GOD DAMN IT!!!!! 13:41
They were just going to sleep. Even if its a comic, read the mood
@@cunningsmile4166 it's a joke...I do that
Everyone just won't stop interrupting the korrasami scenes...no wonder why asami became the so called "sneaky bisexual"💖
Also..I LOVE THIS COMIC!!!💖💖💖💜💜💜💙💙💙❤❤❤
Wow what a ride. Thanks to you Zacky-San many of us could enjoy these comic book stories about Aang and Korra.
Worst line of all time:
"It's going to take me a very long time to forgive you for taking my father's life! >:(
But I'm glad you were on our side this time. :3"
*Seinfeld music*
I really glad they gave kuvira a 2 chance because I like her
Really wish Dark horse would back making the comics a regular series rather then a 3 books per story. It would give the creators more time to flesh out the story and arcs in these books
Bataara said he would never do the same thing Kuvira did, yet she allowed him to take the risk of having her own mind wiped. That's kind of the same as she killing him in the name of victory. Maybe Bataara will understand Kuvira so they can try again at love
Such a well written story, love it
It was a pleasure watching your content as always Zacky san.
Wow! I watched all this 3 comics and let me say that I'm crying for this. Thanks a lot for uploading the comics.!
Thank you so much for your hard work with all the videos of the comic! ❤️
This was one of my favorite shows and this was an awesome story. Would kill to have had this animated for tv!
YASSSS I WAITED FOR SO LONG OMG I LOVE YOU
Opal sure hates Kurvira more than anyone.
Thank you for bringing this to life. Was awesome!
Damn, what an awesome redemption story, it is the best ending for a character as Kuvira, in the final season, she show us the best leadership in a political way, because if we see our history, in times of struggle, regimes such as the nazi or the fasists rise, it was logical thar Kuvira took its move thinking that was the best way to progress in the Earth Kingdom, but in the end, no matter if you have the best intentions, there is always bad things happening around that you can't see. I hope someday we could see this comic and other in a TV show
I’m sobbing on the floor. And I have no regrets
Thank you for your amazing work the past years, appreciated!
Thanks for making this! Really brings the comic to life
Hii, Thank you so much for creating such great motion comics, I really enjoyed this one especially 😇
The music at the end when Kuvira was finally redeemed and accepted as a part of Suyin's family , I loved it 💖
It was really apt and moving. It has all showed us that no matter what how past has been, we can still change and hope good for our future like how Kuvira finally realized and changed.
It was HEARTWARMING, Thank youu 💝
THIS IS SO GOOD 😭😭😭 I can't wait for the next avatar and lok comics 😭😭😭
Korra: still think I'm a half-baked avatar?
Kuvira: still think I'm a spineless coward?
They really are similar...
Thanks so much for posting this !
I'm literally crying ♥♥♥ THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUU~~♥♥! I love happy endings :')
26 minutes in .... "I'm not crying ... you are... (sniff sniff)
I love it, thanks for making this. I've come back to these videos a couple times now. I really wish Azula would have had a similar redemption to Kuvira!
The sound design in all of these videos r amazing. Really bring it to life
Need more of Kuvira
IMAGINE IF KUVIRA JOINS TEAM AVATAR OMG THE POWER
just wanted to say thank you for posting these, they're amazing quality! hope to see more (if they release them, that is...)
Wow. What a fantastic ending👏👏👏👏 I hope more comics get made.
Why can't they just create another avatar series in the earth kingdom 😭
Because Bryke don't want to work with Nickelodeon again. They say Nick was a pain to work with. And unfortunately Nick still owns the rights.
Vetarlit Torf how long does nick own the rights for?
Does the rise of Kyoshi count? it Centers around the earth's kingdom. Really, good book
But there is a fanmade Comic. The Legend of Genji. It will take time but i'm sure it will be great.
I guess it doesn't matter for now because what's important was the live action series in Netflix to go well first, so they can earn some money and continue the story
Lmao kurvira was my favorite character od the series cause she was what korra would of been had she not had a good upbringing. I think kurvira had the best character development out of everyone. Even showed how far she would go for the greater good but yeah kurvira favorite charater second is azula 😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you a lot for making these comic-videos
Thank you so much again :) really appreciate ur work. Really wishing right now for another lok comic but regardless thank u ❤️❤️
Just wishing to see this as a mover ' oh! Varrick has made his impression on me'lol
Kuvira really redeemed herself, just as much as Zuko did🙌
Thank you as always! Definitely will buy the books too
thank god for this channel keeping the series alive
remove random crits
can i just say how kuvira looks a lot slimmer or weaker maybe smaller now. like korra's body it the beginning of season 4. you could really see what power and state of authority can do to someone and what it does when it's gone
the ending was so happy and sad at the same time, it caught me crying!
the music was perfect - a sad sounding, melodious tune. but next time don't use music that makes me so emotional!
The ending makes me so ready eye, now that’s what you call real family love😭😭😭🥰
The Avatar series never lets me down! I felt refreshed after watching this! Love from SL
I liked this comic and that Kuvira managed to redeem herself
Who else cry when you heard about kuvira back story I cry cuz I can relate to that
I did
Thank YOUUUUUU
😭
Love how they have showed more of wu and su’s son developing these characters make the story feel more full
