Some Korra Book 2 defence -and NO i would appreciate if you don't make 4 paragraph arguments or debates how these people are wrong and stupid or things like that . Just one i agree or do not agree is enough .
What these people wrote in defence of korra -
I’ve seen this all over the place, and it’s just as stupid every time it comes up. Korra might be as irritable and aggressive as she was at the beginning of Book One, but her experience with Amon is vital to understanding her issues as of the beginning of Book Two.
Here’s the thing. Constant training and limited companionship? That was normal for early Book One Korra. She rebelled against it initially because she didn’t feel like she learning anything, not because she thought she was being mistreated.
And then, Book One happens. The main thing she takes away from it? That “Korra” is more than “the Avatar,” even if she isn’t sure who she is. All of the freedom she had competing in pro-bending and fighting Amon was good for her, because it meant that when Amon took her bending, there was still a life there worth preserving.
So, what happens next? Why, Tenzin reverts back to treating her like she’d always been treated, of course. But this time, she knows exactly what she’s missing and how important it is. Why wouldn’t she be furious? She still barely knows who she is, and as long as that’s the case, she’s in a terrible position if her powers are threatened again.
I think the key point is the background for which she’s acting as ‘rebellious’ as she is. In Book 1, she turned away from Tenzin’s teaching because she felt she was failing and couldn’t live up to the expectations, in book 2 she’s turning away from him and her father because she feels they are trying to control her and pull her in a direction she doesn’t necessarily want to go.
She’s not just being ‘immaturely rebellious’ for no reason; she’s questioning because she’s realized that she is a person who has the right for an agency of her own. Her father keeps treating her like she can’t handle independence and trust, and that’s frustrating for her because she feels she deserves that, she feels she needs that.
Because this what she learned from Book 1, that she’s a person outside of being the Avatar, and people shouldn’t just boss her around with the excuse “this is what the Avatar should do”. No, Korra has a personal right to be respected and to decide for herself, and this obviously sticks deeper than the current situation. Korra has been controlled and locked up her entire life, and then she finds out that it’s for the wrong reasons, reasons that she’s literally been lied to about. She doesn’t feel respected, she doesn’t feel supported, and all she really wants is to figure out who she’s supposed to be, as a person and as the Avatar.
