Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Avatar: The Last Airbender was the series that started it all, but The Legend of Korra successfully gave greater context to scenes in the original series, making them even better. Knowing the entire context and timeline of Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra elevates the stakes and conflict of the action and expands the story's lore.
8 Aang Taking Ozai’s Bending Season 3, Episode 21, "Sozin's Comet - Part 4: Avatar Aang" Close In one of the series’ most iconic moments, Aang finally comes face-to-face with Firelord Ozai, the primary antagonist of Avatar, and uses his power to take Ozai's bending. Season 3 involves Aang's conflicted feelings around killing Ozai because the air nomads believe in pacificism. However, Ozai poses a threat to the entire world if he is allowed to live with his bending.
This all comes to a head when Korra loses this connection. Some viewers questioned why Korra had to lose her Avatar connection, but her journey after losing the link is the inevitable conclusion to the warning that Roku issues in the original series. Aang and Korra have different journeys as Avatars, and comparing their experiences isn't fair to either character.
5 Katara Using Blood Bending Season 3, Episode 8, "The Puppetmaster" Blood bending is taboo in the universe of Avatar and Korra, as it's a type of water bending that involves using the water inside someone's body to control them like a puppet. It's a brutal technique that Katara first comes into contact with in season 3 when she meets a water bender living in the Fire Nation who escaped from captivity many years ago by using blood bending.
One of Korra's most impactful acts as the Avatar is when she opens the door to the spirit world from the real world and meshes the two realities together. This event occurs at the end of season 2, and though Korra intends to bring balance to the universe, the two worlds' convergence has pros and cons. Looking back at the beginnings of the spirit world and comparing it with its explosive impact in The Legend of Korra makes Aang's first interaction with it even more pivotal.
2 The Destruction Of The Air Temples Season 1, Episode 3, "The Southern Air Temple" Close Firelord Sozin's decision to destroy the Air Temples and eradicate the Air Nomads sets the events of both Avatar and Korra in motion.
