Korra fighting style

I have a genuine conversation to LOK and ATLA fans.

I understand the fan base are torn between which avatar is better and tbh I dont care.

My conversation is predicated on korra fighting style. I am very adamant that one of the biggest disservice done to her by the white lotus is korra fighting style while bending.

I will always argue that she is technically sound as a fighter but she is not creative at all as a bender. She was forced to fight opponents that just like her attacked her head on.

This is one of the reasons why I believe she struggles so mightily with opponents. Not only are her opponents smarter than normal and simply prepare to never fight her head on, but her bending style is predictable. When i watch her bend, she seems to simply slug the elements out at her opponent and always fight them head on. Her opponents never try to confront her head on and infact they put her in disadvabtege situations/fight dirty.

One of the reasons why aang was so effective is not only because people never fought an Airbender in years but aang was very creative with his bending and usually doesnt attack head on.

What are your thoughts?

The biggest sanami hater

Im am and will always be the biggest sanemi hater. If he doesnt have a hater just know I died.

Fuck him and fuck tanjiro for being a bitch and letting him get away for what he did to nezuko

Also fuck the leader for letting him do that to nezuko.

I saw a YouTube video al be it, posted 8 months ago questioning the intelligence/intellect of our main protagonist ayanokji.

https://youtu.be/2KPNnLTZQ-0?si=m6ksXmJlcbCTxlpv

I watched high school of the elite and caught up to the light novels, up until the end of year 2. To me I truly belive he is smart and a master manipulator.

The video claims that our main protag isnt really that smart. Infact hes just surrounded by stupid (not stupid but unintelligent students)

I believe the video has some great points but it is highly disingenuous

You can argue alot of the plot points come out of nowhere but to say it doesnt make sense is not true at all. Everything is explained in the story.

To argue that these are supposed to be the elite of children when it comes to intelligence is false. Cuz the story tells you everyone excels in a particular skill set and to go beyond that those in class D have more flaws than those in class A -C.

The anime/manga also tells you kids must apply to come to this school. They arent just forced into it. So ofc kids trying to escape their homes would be applying.

Ayanokji not spending all his money isnt him being smart and his peers being dumb but a direct foreshadowing of how vague school instructions and rules are. Just like in real life you can navigate certain laws, cuz of how vague they are. The money/points test isnt about being smart but more so impulse control. Alot of kids and adults today are impulsive.

When it comes to the fighting its directly shoen to us that you must have proof someone is fighting and also hersay is not enough evidence. Kai was getting bullied where there was no cameras.

I dont want to het into all the class room exams, cuz the way he solves them do make sense and can be hard for an average viewer but its not hard once they are explained.

Only reason im making this post is due to similar videos that have existed before. As a naruto fan I remember the Naruto the biggest hypocrite and the downfall of bleach videos and how they spread so much misinformation that people believe to this day even though they were debunked.
