Fair, but 3/4 of those are regular, non-royal mortals. They did all their stuff through charisma and badassery and I think that's neat.

Because it's Mark, right? I like it. Made me giggle x) Saved it. Thx!

I get it! Are we friends now?

I did like how LoK showed the other nations could be bad in their own ways. Zaheer even showed us how terrifying Air Nomads could be.

And being voiced by Mark Hamill

tbh, ATLA's weakest part was its villains (zuko aside.) None of them are interesting, just hateable.

Some of these clips are quite well synced with the audio... whoever made this did it well!

For the ultimate bad guy the next avatar must fight them all.. Anarchism, socialism, nationalism, feudalism, and tribalism all in one.
RivertheRoyal
Amon was terrifying to me when I watched Korra the first time. I really felt other character's fear towards him.
INeverWaitForIt
When you nearly drive the Avatar to suicide, you're pretty fooking scary.
NanashiShingo
I agree. I wish they kept him around longer he was easily the best villain in Korra
IgiveupIdontknowwhatusernametopick
They did Korra dirty by rushing the last season. I wish we got more seasons for that show, it was awesome otherwise.
GrouchyMarx
They did Korra dirty by trying to use it as a centrist propaganda tool, portraying non-neoliberal ideologies as extremist & equally terrible

Ya know now that you mention it....

Can’t we just like both shows and not be toxic fans?
IAmTheEarlyEvening
I'm very sorry, but the punchline in the title means I have to down item. It's the law

I don't think that's law here! xD

I hated how Korra presented the literal Fascist as the most sympathetic one who got the lightest treatment.
ArkoneAxon
Zaheer summed it up when talking to Korra. How every one of her enemies made good points with their ideology... but took it WAY too far.
Wingedgrim
Would lead to the end of authoritarianism in the earth kingdom.
Wingedgrim
Also each of them affected the world in a positive way after the fact. Amons movement resulted in a new, fairer form of government.
Wingedgrim
Unaloqs actions resulted in the reopening of the spirit portals and subsequent return of the air nation. Zaheer set in motion events that ->
GrouchyMarx
Series itself was okay, but I hate how badly it portrayed all four of the political ideologies. Amon's portrayal of socialism was cringy af.
drh1138
Everyone else was a bad caricature of left-wing ideology and Korra's message was implicitly supportive of neo-liberalism as the status quo.
GrouchyMarx
This. Ironically it's the one thing over everything else that ruined the show for me, but it's the least talked out of all it's flaws.
Wingedgrim
Really? I see it talked about pretty often but then again I also really dislike this particular interpretation. Guess it stands out to me.
Wingedgrim
Unhealthy trigger for me lol.
GrouchyMarx
People usually moan about Korra's character, the teen drama, probending etc. This is the fourth time I've heard someone else bring this up.
Wingedgrim
I'm weird about the show. I know it's not perfect but I find myself disagreeing with so much of the criticism of it. Its like an ->
Wingedgrim
One of the things I see a lot is arguments about the political aspect. That's a big one for me and I'm not exactly sure why.
Wingedgrim
These interpretations are insufferable.
TheGrubinator
Extremism never ends well.
drh1138
Except, implicitly, for the extreme status quo of industrial capitalism. The excesses of the existing system are always handwaved.
drh1138
You're internalizing neo-liberal ideology, as if capitalism were "natural" and "non-ideological" and any deviation is "extremism".
suchpun
The whole show has not aged well with all the pro-cop propaganda. The last air bender was way more progressive.
SuedeDenimSecretPolice
I don't really see a pro cop message in LOK. Season one literally had a scene of Republic city police mass arresting minority protesters
suchpun
Yeah but the good guys all work for or with the police while the ones wanting changes are literally villains.
SuedeDenimSecretPolice
But villans also heavily worked with the police, and after season one they mostly become a minor figures. The two cops who hang around (1/2)
SuedeDenimSecretPolice
Korra are both flawed people. Furthermore while I was disappointed Korra didn't have long struggles for positive change, you really (2/3

Let's see... Super villain.. Normal, mortal, royal asshole on a blimp vs THE GIGANTIC, 60 FOOT FUCKING HOST FOR THE LITERAL SPIRIT OF EVIL
Wingzeroalchemist
Which one was voiced by Mark Hamill though?
PorneliusHubertII
Amon was all about presentation.
Masterdavis812
Who promptly got his ass beat before he actually did anything
PerpetuityPhoto
I mean, to be fair... Kuvira also had a giant host of her own. In the form of a massive platinum mech.
MithridateEupator
Kuvira basically had a nuke
PerpetuityPhoto
A nuke with legs. And a deep-set desire to use it to instill fascism. Hmmmmmm. Nah, I can forgive, she was hot. XD
HamshanksCPS
Also played by Zelda Williams
EniChaos
Robin would be proud
intothewilde
I felt more like she had an Evangelion
xXCarpeNoctumXx
...and waaaaaaaay less emotional damage...also her mech wasn't made of meat...also couldn't go rampant and bring a biblical apocalypse...
LadyYmir
Unalaaq was, by the standards of this world, the only SUPER villain. Everyone else was either just strong, had an army, or giant tools.
AnimatedASMR
I read "giant tools" and thought, "well, huge wrenches and hammers are kind of unwieldy."
IamMelonLordeYaYaYa
This just blatantly isn’t true. Zaheer achieved what was essentially believed to be an impossible power, even after being nonbending most 1/
IamMelonLordeYaYaYa
of his life, Kuvira piloted a mech with a nuke in its chest, and Amon could easily be considered super-powerful given his ability to blood2/
IamMelonLordeYaYaYa
bend without a full moon—especially since all of 4 characters are ever seen bloodbending and even the others can’t without the moon. 3/3
BabyWitchErika
i mean, kuvira did show up ina gundam with a doom laser. She kinda fits the bill.
burg14
Unalaaq was evil and wanted to destroy. Kuvira was a villain/dictator and wanted to rule the world like Ozai. Zaheer was an anarchist.
harrypotterandgandalfgifreactions
Kuvira just wanted to unite all of the earth kingdom not the world just like shin the conqueror
Syaoron
Zaheer was written so well.i liked kuvira as a bad guy. Her only downside was having to follow zaheer
Imissmycats
Zaheer was written quite terribly but the fight scenes of everyone in his group were 100% hype.
LadyYmir
But by definition, the only villain who was super(powered) was Unalaaq. The others had standard abilities. If everyone's super, no one is.
burg14
Supervillain doesn't always mean super power. Lex Luthor uses money as a superpower. Unalaaq uses Vaatu as his superpower
LadyYmir
Lex Luthor ain't a supervillain. Same as Batman ain't a superhero. What do you think the SUPER comes from in those words?
DatDarthCaedus
Kuvira didn't want to rule the world. She wanted to reunite and restore order to the Earth Kingdom while removing the last vestiges of 1/
DatDarthCaedus
the monarchy, after the nation had collapsed into anarchy following the assassination of the Earth Queen. She wasn't a world conqueror 2/
DatDarthCaedus
like Ozai, but rather a well-intentioned extremist who went waaay too far into authoritarian "ends justify the means" madness for the 3/
burg14
I don't know, Kuvira controlled a giant mecha suit and destroyed half a city
Hiphop101ize
Chicks dig giant robots
SpecialAgentLoliHuntress
But without the previous three, she would never be able to do this
TheGrubinator
Your point? *Super* villains recognize the bull when it presents itself and grab it by the horns.
burg14
She saw her opportunity and ran with it
OrangeFlavours
So? That doesn't make her not a super villain
eadanke
If only they'd had some earth benders undermine the legs. Guess they couldn't make it from the far off earth kingdom to where the robot was.
FBIhere
I mean, they DID have earth benders undermine the legs. It stood back up.
eadanke
I don't remember that honestly, but that sounds more like tripping than a pit trap. I'm not asking for Kyoshi's pit to hell, but something.
burg14
And they froze it in ice. It was the non benders that made the breakthrough. Pun intended
aPinchofMensch
His blimps would've glassed an entire continent.
burg14
If he wasn't stopped by a 12yr old.
aPinchofMensch
A group of twelve year olds thank you very much. And it's not like Korra soloed that entire mech herself either.
burg14
Yeah a group stopped the blimps. And the fire nation. Aang stopped Ozai solo
burg14
And it was the airbenders that stopped Zaheer. Mako and Bolin stopped Ming-hua and Ghazan. Suyin beat P'li.
