00:00:00Hello, everyone!
00:00:22Hello, everyone!
00:00:25How is your morning?
00:00:44You seem to be in good spirits.
00:00:47Yes.
00:00:48Very good spirits.
00:00:58I am positively delighted, can't you tell?
00:01:22You fucking shitting me.
00:01:27Okay.
00:01:33So, why is it just a green...
00:01:39So much for that.
00:01:42Whatever.
00:01:43I'll just use smooch or footage.
00:01:44That's what I have it all for.
00:02:07Arkan and I agree on one thing.
00:02:09Destiny.
00:02:10Not even you can change it.
00:02:13Yes.
00:02:23Never is there a greater example of this theory than Star Wars.
00:02:26There's a small subset of Star Wars fandom that really hates the fact that the new Star
00:02:30Wars material is extremely critical of the Jedi.
00:02:32However, the Jedi have been the subject of criticism since day one of the franchise.
00:02:37Subject of criticism since day one of the fran...
00:02:39Subject of criticism since day one of the franchise.
00:02:41For over a thousand generations, the Jedi Knights were the guardians of peace.
00:03:03Do you have problems sleeping the...
00:03:06Do you have problems sleep you streaming early, like nine hours early?
00:03:10...less theory than Star Wars.
00:03:12There's a small subset of Star Wars fandom that...
00:03:14My sleep schedule waxes and wanes.
00:03:16I just happen to be a...
00:03:17There's a small subset of Star Wars fandom that really hates the fact that the new Star
00:03:21Wars material is extremely critical of the Jedi.
00:03:24However, the Jedi have been the subject of criticism since day one of the franchise.
00:03:27For over a thousand generations, the Jedi Knights...
00:03:30This is the first thing we hear about the Jedi.
00:03:33Where's the Old Republic now?
00:03:35It's gone.
00:03:37I better get home as...
00:03:39You can get a transport, there it is.
00:03:46To Alderaan.
00:03:48Alderaan?
00:03:49Only to Alderaan.
00:03:51Hey, Lex here.
00:04:05Hey, Lolo!
00:04:07How've you been?
00:04:09I haven't seen your pretty face around in a while.
00:04:22I've been fine, thank you.
00:04:24Aw, care to join me?
00:04:34Sure, hold on.
00:04:36First thing we hear about the Jedi.
00:04:38Where's the Old Republic now?
00:04:40It's gone.
00:04:41The first thing we learn about the Jedi is their greatest failure.
00:04:44And throughout the rest of the series, Obi-Wan has been...
00:04:47The first thing we learn about the Jedi is their greatest failure.
00:04:49And throughout the rest of the series, Obi-Wan and Yoda are repeatedly challenged by Luke and proven wrong.
00:04:54They both believe Vader can't be redeemed because the dark side permanently stains you.
00:04:58And they're wrong. Luke proves them wrong.
00:05:00The Jedi have always served the Republic.
00:05:02What did the Republic do again?
00:05:04Oh, right. Gleef...
00:05:17Humming...
00:05:42The powers of the unknown...
00:05:48They both believe Vader can't be redeemed because the dark side permanently stains you.
00:05:54And they're wrong. Luke proves them wrong.
00:05:56The Jedi have always served the Republic.
00:05:59Oh, Luke.
00:06:09Hey!
00:06:16Right.
00:06:18Can you hear me?
00:06:20Yep.
00:06:21Ah, good.
00:06:23I'm on my phone so if I...
00:06:25If- Sorry if my voice sounds weird.
00:06:29It's okay.
00:06:35How've you been?
00:06:38I've been alright.
00:06:41I saw the um-
00:06:43The um- The Korra video coming along really well.
00:06:46Yep, it sure is coming.
00:06:51It's coming like Korra and Asami's grasp.
00:06:55I was not prepa- Like I have not released a new video in like close to a month now because of just how long this took because I was not expecting it to balloon this fucking much like and I was not prepared for that but on the plus side I'm about oh about an hour I'm almost halfway through Luke proves them wrong
00:07:23The Jedi have always served the Republic
00:07:25Proves them wrong
00:07:27You're halfway there! Halfway there!
00:07:29Proves them wrong
00:07:31The Jedi
00:07:33Proves them wrong
00:07:35Hi Luke, hi chat
00:07:37Luke proves them wrong
00:07:39Luke proves them wrong
00:07:41Luke proves them wrong
00:07:43The Jedi
00:07:45I've been um- I've been binge playing a lot of um- um- Legends Arceus lately.
00:07:47The Jedi have always served the Republic
00:07:49It is so good!
00:07:51It is so good!
00:07:53Oh right! Gleefully become a tyrannical empire and herald it in the death of democracy as a concept without a hint of remorse.
00:08:01I don't want to hear it.
00:08:03It's always a bit, you know, meh but you know, Pokemon games have always been like meh with the story but like the actual gameplay is like so good.
00:08:11Hmm.
00:08:21Oh right! Gleefully become a tyrannical empire and herald it in the death of democracy as a concept without a hint of remorse.
00:08:31What?
00:08:33I got a haircut recently.
00:08:35Oh nice.
00:08:37And my hair was getting way too long.
00:08:45And it's still summer so you know, it's boiling out.
00:09:01The Jedi have always served the Republic
00:09:03What did the Republic do again?
00:09:05Oh right! Gleefully-
00:09:13Then perhaps she will-
00:09:25They served the Republic
00:09:27What did the Republic do again?
00:09:29Oh right! Gleefully-
00:09:31Oh right! Gleefully become a tyrannical empire and-
00:09:35And speaking of hair, does anyone know?
00:09:39Honestly...
00:09:45I would rather have a rule. Once for the grease, twice for the shine.
00:09:53That's my rule for like, you know, washing hair.
00:09:55That's what my grandma used to say.
00:10:03Of course conditioner helps a lot.
00:10:05Especially if you have like really frizzy ends.
00:10:07Especially if you have like really frizzy ends.
00:10:09Especially if you have like really frizzy ends.
00:10:11Of course conditioner helps a lot.
00:10:13Especially if you have like really frizzy ends.
00:10:29They're great tangents, Lily.
00:10:31They're lovely tangents.
00:10:35They're interesting to talk about.
00:10:41They're interesting to talk about.
00:10:59I just lather it on and brush it in.
00:11:01I just lather it on and brush it in.
00:11:03Everyone's hair is different, so whatever works best for you.
00:11:05Everyone's hair is different, so whatever works best for you.
00:11:11Everyone's hair is different, so whatever works best for you.
00:11:41That's it.
00:12:03I love it when we go off about something.
00:12:05I love it when we go off about something.
00:12:07Yeah, I mean, I'm the poster.
00:12:09the post-it woman for that
00:12:17Never is there
00:12:29And never is there a great
00:12:39And never is there a greater example of this theory than Star Wars there's
00:13:03Never is there a greater example of this theory than Star Wars
00:13:22Never is there a greater example this
00:13:26Never is there a greater example of this theory than Star Wars
00:13:29There's a small subset of star wars fandom that really hates the fact that the new star wars material is extremely critical of the jedi
00:13:35However, the jedi have been the subject of criticism since day one of the franchise
00:13:39for over a thousand generations
00:13:42Oh, right gleefully become a tyrannical say
00:13:46Hint of remorse anakin. My allegiance is to the republic to democracy
00:13:52So this is how liberty dies
00:13:55with thunderous applause
00:13:57None of this is helped by the creeping rot of people treating storytelling as a concept as nothing more than a vessel to give catharsis
00:14:03personally to them
00:14:04So story characters themes all of them get twisted or even thrown away in the name of searching for catharsis
00:14:10While bantering the idea of a rewrite of legend of korra, I suggested that korra should kill the earth
00:14:23From the avatar
00:14:26Oh, I finally get a visit from the avatar
00:14:35Is helped by the creeping rot of people treating storytelling as a concept as nothing more than a vessel to give catharsis
00:14:41personally to them so story characters themes all of them
00:14:46Is earth kingdom territory? Well, I uh, i'm not sure what I can do about that
00:14:53Not that you care
00:14:55But what's left of my kingdom is falling to ruin
00:14:58Roving bands of barbarians are raiding villages in the countryside
00:15:02and now
00:15:03Some of my subjects are refusing to pay their taxes
00:15:08I'm, very sorry for your trouble little bro
00:15:11Rule our lands to make their own little empire
00:15:14So
00:15:23Story characters themes all of them get twisted or even thrown away in the name of searching for catharsis
00:15:29While bantering the idea of a rewrite of legend of korra, I suggested
00:15:39Where uh, did I did I even save that thing?
00:15:45So
00:16:10I did not
00:16:13What was it
00:16:15So
00:16:17So
00:16:43Incorrect there are no airbenders in basing say
00:16:47So you can get
00:16:49you make me
00:16:50You make me do your dirty work extorting your own citizens for your stupid palaces and topiaries
00:16:55And then you just want to send me away
00:17:01Of a rewrite of legend of korra
00:17:03I suggested that korra should kill the earth queen instead of the red lotus as the earth queen had spent the entire season
00:17:08Roadblocking the new air nation and kidnapping airbenders and the avatar is increasingly aware of how tyrannical she is
00:17:14So my idea was korra kills her in the name of helping everyone
00:17:18He's out isn't he quickly with your father to home or something if I lived in a mansion in republic
00:17:33You're on the wrong side
00:17:34You're on the wrong side of this fight avatar that gold belongs to the people not the queen
00:17:41Why do I get the feeling he's right?
00:17:44You're on the wrong side of this fight avatar that gold belongs to the people not the queen
00:17:48Airbenders and the avatar is increasingly aware of how tyrannical she is
00:17:52So my idea was korra kills her in the name of helping everyone only for the entire nation to fall into even worse chaos
00:17:57Because in her impulsivity she hadn't considered
00:17:59So my idea was korra kills her in the name of helping everyone only for the entire nation to fall into even worse chaos
00:18:05Because in her impulsivity she hadn't considered the consequences of cutting the head off of an absolute monarchy in one fell swoop
00:18:11Leading
00:18:20I didn't mean for it, but now
00:18:36Oh my gosh
00:18:42Everyone only for the entire nation to fall in
00:18:47Oh, if only if only korra could have done that
00:18:51And the avatar is in and the avatar is increasingly aware
00:19:00Everyone only for the entire nation to fall into even worse chaos because in her impulsivity she hadn't considered the consequences
00:19:07civity she had
00:19:12So
00:19:19Consequences of cutting the head off of an absolute monarchy in one fell swoop
00:19:23Leading to her self-imposed exile for season four without all the snuff film garbage, and then someone came in
00:19:28So
00:19:42But interesting ideas go to die
00:19:47Self-imposed exile for season four without like a cemetery of good ideas
00:19:59Oh
00:20:08No, they've come to revoke my suffolk license, I mean come on look at this
00:20:21Oh, oh I I found the image that I was looking for, uh, so
00:20:25I felt like when I was looking for that image of korra flexing by iaffey. I finally found her out as a character
00:20:32Is instead of fan service? No, not that kind of fan service
00:20:38There it is
00:20:44Yeah, the way they drunk on korra and sam is really good
00:20:46Is
00:20:51They give korra muscles more muscly women, please
00:20:57Well, funnily enough iaffey is probably the only person who actually keeps korra's figure and that she's like kind of in between
00:21:10It's the single best part of korrasami i'm pretty sure iaffey is the only part of korrasami
00:21:17Korra smiling makes my day. Yeah. Oh, oh in that case. I've got another one. You're going to love
00:21:34I don't like korra's tired mom hair. It doesn't fit her
00:21:43Oh, that's cute
00:21:46Look at that. Is that not the most precious thing you've ever seen?
00:21:57You've got some absolutely precious turtle ducks and then you have four turtle ducks
00:22:02Okay
00:22:14Okay, don't we go wrong the lesbians are cute too, but still look at us
00:22:20Cuties upon cuties upon cuties. Oh, yeah, they uh, they are they are upon cuties
00:22:26Hmm
00:22:29Literally iaffey's work is the only time korrasami is ever worth a piss
00:22:36She can make any she can make it make a make a mashup work
00:22:46You know, it's funny korrasami is a fucking nothing burger in universe and yet somehow
00:22:52It managed to get worse
00:22:55When kate vie came around, I don't know how you managed to give a ship more time and do less with it
00:23:14Oh
00:23:16You
00:23:18Or without all the snuff film to her self-imposed exile for season four without all the snuff film garbage and then someone came in
00:23:33Now
00:23:35Oh
00:23:41Season four without all the style for season four without all the snuff film garbage and then
00:23:47Garbage and then someone came in running
00:23:49I would prefer if it was her abused subjects who were the ones to kill her
00:23:53Like korra is still the one to fight her and kick her off the throne
00:23:56But when it comes to the killing blow korra hands the earth queen to her subjects
00:24:00Saying that they will cast final judgment on her and I was thinking in lines of what makes sense to the character and how to
00:24:05Get them from one point of the story to another and this person just went
00:24:08I'd like all of that to be thrown aside in the name of my proletariat
00:24:15And then someone came in running I
00:24:21I would prefer if it was her
00:24:30So
00:24:42Hmm who's the artist? Oh
00:24:50And yes, it is spelled exactly like that
00:24:52So
00:24:59God how long have I been?
00:25:02How long have I been pledging to I uh, how long have I pledged to iappy on patreon?
00:25:22Oh
00:25:42Oh wow
00:25:44eight years
00:25:46Oh my god
00:25:49Welcome looks really good. So don't blame you
00:25:53So
00:26:02Running I would prefer if it was her abused sub
00:26:23So
00:26:27Or if it was her abused sub or if it was her
00:26:40Subjects who were the ones to kill her
00:26:43So
00:26:50Like cora's still the one to fight her and kick her off the throne, but when it comes to the killing blow cora hands
00:27:13So
00:27:20When it comes to the killing blow cora hands the earth queen to her subjects saying that they will cast final judgment on her
00:27:43So
00:27:58Some guy 2024
00:28:05Some guy in a chair in bedroom
00:28:08Or if it was her abuse kids won't get kids forever so jump into what they love kinder chocolate
00:28:22Smooth milk chocolate with a creamy milky center
00:28:30In delicious shareable little bars made for being a kid
00:28:39Kinder chocolate let that kid flag fly
00:28:44Random puts characters into hide in the name of my proletariat fantasy. And while I understand the proletariat fantasy
00:28:50It's not in keeping with the theme and the character
00:28:57No proper respect for the crown people freedom is just as essential as air
00:29:08So
00:29:17And while I understand the proletariat fantasy it's not in keeping with the theme and the characters and this is how fandom puts characters
00:29:23Into ethical boxes in microcosm you have been deemed a good person
00:29:27Therefore you must conform to my beliefs about characters into ethical boxes in microcosm. You have been deemed a good person
00:29:34Therefore you must conform to my beliefs about what a good person means and I will accept no deviation all of
00:29:39You
00:30:04You have been deemed a good person
00:30:06Therefore you must conform to my beliefs about what a good person means and I will accept no deviation
00:30:10All of this is extremely stifling as I believe the core tenet of a good character
00:30:14Is that their positive and negative attributes come from the same place?
00:30:17so ang being a crap parent is
00:30:20I think ang gets put on a pedestal too much by the fan base as this pure uncorruptible heroic person
00:30:25So this being a permanent stain on his character keeps people humble ang
00:30:30I
00:30:35Know there's
00:30:37How far are you now in the editing
00:30:40Halfway almost halfway through. Oh, there's positive jing when you're attacking and negative jing when you're retreating
00:30:46And neutral jing when you do nothing
00:30:49There are three jing went to
00:30:59You
00:31:06Extremely stifling as I believe the core tenet of a good character
00:31:09Is that their positive and negative attributes come from the same place? So ang being a crap parent is
00:31:15I think ang gets put
00:31:18So
00:31:29Caught up really early
00:31:32Mutes come from the same place. So ang being a crap parent is
00:31:36I think ang gets put on a pedestal too much by the fan base as this pure uncorruptible heroic person
00:31:43I think
00:31:45Ang gets put on a pedestal too much
00:31:47I think
00:32:09By the fan base as this pure uncorruptible heroic person
00:32:12So this being a permanent stain on his character keeps people humble ang favoring tenzin also gave him a massive messiah complex
00:32:19being the last
00:32:21Hey angel
00:32:24Oh, hey now there's two angels in the chat
00:32:31Oh, you're an angel too, I love how you just knew I was talking about you
00:32:39Now you're an angel too
00:32:43Thanks
00:32:51Remember how we person, you know, boom juice bean looking around the obstacle course you actually quit
00:33:00Well, i'm not quitting now
00:33:02I know we've had a tough time me more than anyone
00:33:05But we're airbenders and there aren't many of us. So we've got to stick together
00:33:10They've got two of our own in cages out there
00:33:16All of lily's friends know who she's flirting with from nickname alone, that's cute I actually don't flirt with most of my friends
00:33:29Really wanted to be there
00:33:30But it still took time for me to adjust and feel like I was a part of it all
00:33:33These people are that first night. I was so scared and lonely and the bed was so hard
00:33:39It's actually better for your back
00:33:42Sorry, the point is
00:33:49Tenzin also gave him a massive messiah complex being the last airbender until he had four children in harmonic convergence filled him with an
00:33:56inflated sense of self-importance one that is routinely beaten down as his inadequacies as a teacher a
00:34:02Spiritual leader and a master come through in the first three seasons tenzin ultimately ends up being out
00:34:06Children in harmonic convergence filled him with an inflated sense of self-importance one that is routinely beaten down as his
00:34:15Yeah, that got me thinking I remember um, um when break released and they were going to like be developing um
00:34:22like an avatar sequel with all the um, the
00:34:25team avatar grown up and all that and like
00:34:28Considering how um tenzin and all the other like legacy characters are characterized
00:34:32It seems to have way more ideas for the children of the old gang rather than focusing on the new gang
00:34:38Yep
00:34:39They're like they have so much cool ideas for like tenzin and like boobies are very delightful character and then they just
00:34:45With korra, they just have nothing
00:34:48You want to see on uh, what what uh ended up being uh, weirdly enough one of my favorite moments in the entire in the entire show
00:34:56Yeah, cool
00:34:59Oh, I should stream this directly to you
00:35:03You
00:35:14Leave him keep bending. He needs a healer at once. This is more important
00:35:29I'm taking him back
00:35:32Hmm
00:35:44There's a point where I was like, yeah, okay sk you get to be a good character
00:35:49Yeah
00:35:52That's just nice to see that she's like even after all that weird shit she would build and she genuinely cares about her brother
00:35:58Yep
00:36:01She's not ready for the dangers of the other side, but I am
00:36:05I spent years training studying and mastering everything there is to know about the spirit world tenzin
00:36:10We're running out of time if everyone could just be quiet and let me focus
00:36:16Aunt kaya is right. I can guide korra into the spirit world. I think jenora was meant to guide the avatar
00:36:23Into the spirit world. No, just give me some time stop
00:36:27It's okay ten meant to guide korra into the no, just give me some time stop being so stubborn it's not your destiny
00:36:37Oh in the spirit world yet, no, I am not and stop bugging me
00:36:45It's okay tenzin, maybe you weren't meant to guide korra into the spirit world
00:36:57That's so cool
00:37:02One that is routinely beaten down
00:37:04As his inadequacies as a teacher a spiritual leader and a master come through in the first three seasons
00:37:09Tenzin ultimately ends up being outclassed by his own daughter
00:37:12Jinora who is far more in tune to the spirits than him and mastered everything more quickly than him
00:37:16So
00:37:23Sorry about your father it would have been the greatest
00:37:29But he was already fused with vatu
00:37:32I couldn't save him. It seems cousin korra is under the impression. We are saddened by our father's demise
00:37:38But I will not miss him at all in the end. He became a deplorable man
00:37:43agreed
00:37:45But how will we explain this to mother
00:37:48So I was thinking i'm not really a fan of the long distance relationship thing
00:37:52So, how about you move to republic city with me?
00:37:55I do not think that will be possible
00:37:58Okay
00:38:01Yeah, good Berlin you deserve so much better
00:38:04Yeah
00:38:06Oh
00:38:11He probably has the most like most like very loving relationship with korra and yet he gets saddled with like a scary water girl
00:38:37You
00:38:46Mommy it's tenora. She's beautiful. What? Let me see
00:38:53Be careful sweetie
00:38:55Me
00:39:03He wishes that she's still concerned mom
00:39:13Who is far more in tune to the spirits than him and mastered everything more quickly than him
00:39:17Jinora actually beat out her own grandfather as the youngest airbending master in history
00:39:25And will reclaim it and bring harmony to the world
00:39:36This is getting good shit, yeah, it's both breaks that
00:39:39Brights that and also the very weird ideas about women as the youngest airbending master in history earning her tattoos at the age of 11
00:39:46So tenzin is often dealing with the fact that the great destiny to revive the air nomads isn't his
00:39:51Realize that perhaps I was too harsh with you. Does that mean I can get my airbender tattoos?
00:39:57It's hard for me to believe that my little girl is grown up enough to have her tattoos
00:40:02But I promise i'll think about it
00:40:04Fair enough. Yeah
00:40:06For running off
00:40:08I'm, sorry
00:40:14I'm sorry
00:40:16I'm sorry
00:40:18I'm sorry
00:40:20I'm sorry
00:40:27So tenzin is often dealing with the fact that the great destiny to revive the air nomads isn't his it's ginora's
00:40:33Similarly to tenzin lynn is also trying to hold up the family legacy in a way
00:40:37Becoming chief of police in republic city as a way to make her mother proud
00:40:42Man this whole thing about like about the children just turned into a big tangent about ang
00:40:50I
00:40:54Mean it is responsible for why they why i'm why they're like this
00:40:59Hmm, I mean ang is responsible for why they're like this, especially tenzin
00:41:06So part of the
00:41:08Reason the crew ends up getting so sidelined is because bryke seems to be a lot more interested in writing the children of the gang
00:41:13Tenzin and lynn are major characters in season one and two arguably getting more time than the crew does
00:41:17Season two introduces kaya and bumi ang's other two children and season three brings in su yin and her children
00:41:23Most notably opal now tenzin and lynn are generally very positively received characters
00:41:27But tenzin and lynn are not the most popular characters in season one and two
00:41:31And season three brings in su yin and her children most notably opal now tenzin and lynn are generally very positively received characters by the fan base
00:41:39And season three brings in suly opal now
00:41:46And most notably and most notably opal now tenzin and lynn are generally very positively received characters by the fan base
00:41:53Tenzin is a multi-layered character who gets to have the time and focus that the crew should have had and so we get to learn
00:41:58A lot about him his connection to his culture his inadequacies and his daddy issues being the lone surviving air
00:42:03Nomad after the death of his father must have certainly been a lot of pressure for him to deal with not least of all being
00:42:08That he was in his 30s and still had no children of his own
00:42:10Tenzin is actually at the core of a really interesting issue
00:42:13Particularly with ang in that he was the lone airbender child out of the three ang had and ang favored him over the other two
00:42:20Rather egregiously as well as kaya and bumi are still dealing with issues of inadequacy as a result
00:42:24Look, uh, i'm, sorry, I didn't turn out to be an airbender like you hoped
00:42:29But i've tried my best to keep the world safe
00:42:32Hope I made you proud. This is probably the most interesting part about two of them at least turned out to be rather inadequate parents
00:42:39This was not taken very well by the fan base despite the fact that it was extremely in character
00:42:43See the average viewer isn't watching media to unpack it for a video essay
00:42:48Most people don't like consuming media like that
00:42:50Which I understand people might like watching video essays
00:42:53But few people enjoy making them since it's an inherent vulnerability to put your literacy skills out there
00:42:57So when it comes to how they perceive characters, they operate solely on vibes
00:43:01There are certain traits and personality types that are coded heroic and coded villainous
00:43:06So we like morally gray characters
00:43:08But that moral grayness has to come from things we have coded villainous like ambition or greed or selfishness or vanity
00:43:15And the character's arc has to be about removing those things and replacing them with good traits like pacifism and friendship and temperance
00:43:22So you take ang a character who is the poster child for the all-loving hero a peaceful monk who has a love and respect
00:43:28For all life even the most violent heinous people on the planet. He's non-confrontational
00:43:32He tries to befriend everyone and he is utterly nice to everything and everyone around him
00:43:37All of these things scream hero the most heroed hero whoever heroed lawful good to the utmost degree
00:43:44However, all of these things also inform ang's negative qualities in sozin's comment
00:43:49Ang looks for the wisdom of the past four avatars in regards to what to do about the fire lord and his best advice
00:43:54He gets from kiyoshi. I offer you this wisdom ang
00:43:58Only justice will bring peace
00:44:00This actually reflects the view of negative peace versus positive peace how the absence of tension is different from the presence of justice
00:44:07Which has been discussed by philosophers since the dawn of time
00:44:09This is probably the most mature and reasoned advice ang gets and how does he respond?
00:44:15I knew I shouldn't have asked kiyoshi
00:44:17Ang goes to the very depths of his confirmation bias by asking an air nomad avatar
00:44:22Only to get the biggest dressing down of his life
00:44:25Gang chen stops just short of calling him a narcissist for positioning the air nomads above the rest of the world forgetting that he is
00:44:32The avatar but the monks taught me that I had to detach myself from the world so my spirit could be free
00:44:38Many great and wise air nomads have detached themselves and achieved spiritual enlightenment
00:44:44But the avatar can never do it
00:44:47Because your sole duty is to the world
00:44:50He belongs to every nation the avatar can't detach themselves like most air nomads can it would be selfish
00:44:56It would be borderline evil to be so detached as the avatar now admittedly ang isn't in the same situation as yang chen
00:45:03He's the last of his people if he abandons air nomad ideals and beliefs
00:45:06Then the air nomads are truly dead that ang manages to not do this isn't just keeping his people alive
00:45:12But it's a deliciously ironic twist of fate for the fire nation to be defeated by a pacifist
00:45:17And while ang is averse to killing people he's never been averse to kicking their ass
00:45:21But this doesn't mean ang is averse to making poor and even morally dubious decisions
00:45:25None of ang's heroic traits are innate
00:45:27They come from his upbringing among the air nomads and the existential dread of being the last one
00:45:32So like any good character the thing that informs his positive attributes also inform his negative attributes
00:45:37Ang puts the air nomads and air nomad culture above everything to the point that he's rather softly
00:45:43Narcissistic and often has to be bludgeoned into approaching things from a non-airbender point of view
00:45:48This is the reason he struggled so much with earthbending because it was the first time thinking like an air nomad wasn't
00:45:54Automatically the superior option. What if I came at the boulder from a different angle? No, that's the problem
00:45:59You've got to stop thinking like an airbender
00:46:02There's no different angle. No clever solution. No chickity chick
00:46:05That's gonna move that rock and at times he seems to expect that his friends making the right decisions means conforming to air nomad beliefs
00:46:13The monks used to say that revenge is like a two-headed rat viper
00:46:17While you watch your enemy go down you're being poisoned yourself
00:46:20That's cute. But this is an air temple preschool. It's the real world
00:46:24It's often a recurring problem with ang as throughout the series his biggest mistakes are the result of sticking so
00:46:30Rigidly to being an airbender
00:46:32His first mistake is the result of thinking like an airbender when he flees the temple to avoid the reality that he's the avatar
00:46:38typical airbender tactic
00:46:49Reality that he's the avatar typical airbender tactic avoid and evade
00:46:54so when he has children of his own he favors the one who is an airbender because
00:46:58Being an air nomad is the single most important thing to him
00:47:01It's the thing he puts above everything and everyone and tenzin was his only child to become an airbender
00:47:07And so ang poured all of his attention onto him to an extent
00:47:10This is understandable as after two children without airbending ang was likely starting to think that his people were going to die after all
00:47:16However, understandable doesn't mean excusable. It's not really my place to excuse hang of his actions. That's his children's decision
00:47:22This is very much in character for ang
00:47:24But viewers don't see those things because ang's positive attributes are all associated with traditional heroism
00:47:29The idea that this could be the reason he makes mistakes doesn't compute
00:47:33They see a character being nice in one situation and not nice in another and go
00:47:38And while people often openly disagree with or chastise ang in the original
00:47:43They see a character being nice in one situation and not nice in another and go
00:47:48And while people often openly disagreed with or chastise ang in the original the story often bent over backwards to vindicate him in korra
00:47:55The revelation that ang favored one child and neglected the other two isn't something he has ever vindicated for
00:48:00Because he's dead and can't be vindicated
00:48:03I think a stronger example of this is how he lies to the jiangs and the ganjins in the great divide take
00:48:09Oh, hang on add
00:48:12You

00:49:20Oh, yeah, I did see that I did see that
00:49:30I can't feel you there
00:49:38Okay, be honest with me does anyone actually like mako
00:49:46I'm just building the economy now
00:49:51I'm just building the economy now entire mother
00:49:55Yeah
00:49:57I don't get that one but lying is worry to end the fight
00:50:02They see a character
00:50:05I think a stronger example of this is how he lies to the
00:50:08Zhangs and the ganjins in the great divide taking advantage of the fact that they've been fighting for over a century and have forgotten
00:50:13Why in order to fabricate a story to end the fighting between their tribes a lot of people took issue with this
00:50:19I mean ang wouldn't lie
00:50:21He's a good person after all
00:50:23But he's an airbender
00:50:26Typical airbender tactic avoid and evade so to stop a fight. He just makes something up
00:50:31I've always tried to solve my problems by being quick or clever
00:50:35But lying is bad and ang lying is bad and ang is good
00:50:39So that makes no sense cries the fandom as basic character analysis flies over their heads this twisted and deeply simplistic logic
00:50:46Affects how people respond to characters you could dive into ang's character and find a complex and nuanced web that informs both his
00:50:53Sincere kindness and his evasive narcissism, but that's all really difficult and sounds like homework and it's just easier to go good equals nice
00:51:00I think this is the main contributor to why kiyoshi has rotted over the years because not only is she the poster child of chaotic
00:51:06Good ever the most poorly understood alignment. She's voiced by jennifer
00:51:09Hale, so whenever she says anything the viewer superimposes other jennifer hale rolls onto her which means but i'm through saving you
00:51:17If you keep attacking I will stand and watch while the geth lay you to waste
00:51:22Every character who shows any degree of kindness to anyone tends to be filtered into the all-loving hero trope
00:51:27And once you get filtered into that trope
00:51:29You're expected to conform to it people treat characters the way the anime industry treat genres once you're in a box
00:51:34You're expected nay demanded to have all the bells and whistles attached to them. It would be reductive to say
00:51:44That's really good, holy shit
00:51:45Every character who shows any degree of kindness to anyone tends to be filtered into the all-loving hero trope
00:51:51And once you get filtered into that trope
00:51:52You're expected to conform to it people treat characters the way the anime industry treat genres once you're in a box
00:51:58You're expected nay demanded to have all the bells and whistles attached to them
00:52:02It would be reductive to say audiences don't like it when heroes make bad decisions
00:52:06But rather they don't like it when heroes make objectively bad decisions because of character traits we associate with goodliness
00:52:13They prefer it when bad decisions are made as a result of perceived negative qualities like impulsivity or immaturity or anger or revenge
00:52:20Or the desire to see inconvenient change to an unjust status quo if a heroic character does bad things
00:52:26Or even makes poor decisions or even just makes decisions that go against traditional heroism
00:52:30It doesn't compute with most people and they can't handle the dissonance and they shut down even if it's completely
00:52:36100 in character for them and also most people as adults just aren't the same people
00:52:41They were when they were 12. Sorry to burst your bubble grown-ass men still watching shonen
00:52:45Never is there a greater example of this theory than star wars
00:52:48There's a small subset of star wars fandom that
00:52:54Fucking discord notification
00:53:03While bantering the idea of a re-ang favoring tenzin also gave him a massive messiah
00:53:09similarly
00:53:10i'm, really proud of that uh of that like
00:53:15I think that whole thing of like
00:53:17We only like moral grayness when that grayness comes from things that the character is expected to remove
00:53:24Yeah, it's like the audience like superimposes their own views of like of morality onto the characters
00:53:30even though the characters are like
00:53:32like
00:53:33completely divorced from the audience
00:53:36Yeah
00:53:39Like oh again just fucking preach
00:53:43Hmm, thank you
00:53:51I I made a similar point like this back in the uh, the spy family video
00:53:58Hmm
00:54:00Let's see
00:54:02Because whenever I used to really hate him yuri because I thought he was just being getting your typical
00:54:08Be your typical like a creepily obsessed guy over his sister
00:54:12but like actually once you actually talk about him and like all things are
00:54:16recontextualizing him the fact that he had like a pretty like
00:54:19Childhood that and like y'all had to basically, you know
00:54:22Take become a surrogate parent to him because both their parents died and like he because he has yours been the only
00:54:29Person in his life so far. He's like become very very
00:54:33Obsessively attached to him and he has to learn to you know
00:54:35Get out of that
00:54:37Like it's a it's a lot more interesting
00:54:57I believe the fact that yuri has romantic feelings toward your causes most people to mentally block out all of his genuine concerns and consideration
00:55:04For yours well-being and just write them off as him being possessive
00:55:10Because yuri's positive and negative qualities come from the same thing and it's oh actually
00:55:31I can't find it. Whatever. Um
00:55:34Basically, it's like his positive and his negative qualities come from the same place
00:55:40And because that thing is something we associate with like universally as universally condemnable rightfully so
00:55:49His positive traits end up getting end up getting rules lawyered into actually negative traits
00:55:56So
00:56:01In order to keep in order to keep up that that rigidity of like
00:56:07Good traits can only influence good things bad trait can only influence bad things that doesn't they can't cross
00:56:17Yeah, because I remember when I first saw him I was I worried he was going to be just
00:56:21That kind of archetype but again because the show actually does something with him and this whole
00:56:26Point to his character. It's like hey, you know what just you know
00:56:29Just get out of that out of that
00:56:32that system find a
00:56:34Get a job get a hobby or get some friends and like it's because the author actually fucking reads books
00:56:40He consumes media that like one of the reason anime has rotted so much
00:56:45Is because a lot of the people making it
00:56:49They don't bring any inspiration other than just being fans of anime
00:57:01And like you said like i'm your anime reading that's exactly that's exactly what it is. Yeah, it's like
00:57:09All like pretty much it's all dry it's it's all taking from the same pool
00:57:14New ideas aren't coming in and as a result each story is a more flanderized version of the one that came before
00:57:25Yeah
00:57:27And also I love so I love how um
00:57:30How he does like genuinely get along with anya that's that's really cute. Oh, yeah
00:57:37If you get along with the bb then you're good well, nobody can resist anya's charm
00:57:42Exactly
00:57:46I'll punch the shit out of the fiona though
00:57:49Yeah
00:57:51Okay
00:57:52I've been thinking about the positive trait negative trait thing after the spy family video
00:57:56Yeah, this is where I actually go way into way more depth on it
00:57:59I think the core of a good character is that their positive and negative qualities have to come from the same place
00:58:06If you give a character a flaw it has to be a flaw born like
00:58:11You can design characters based like like as a as a web
00:58:14And you have to start with like something in the middle
00:58:17there has to be like a core aspect of their character that you have to start with and
00:58:23Their flaws have to come from that as much as their virtues do
00:58:27a lot of people will like
00:58:28Make a character and they'll make like they'll make a heroic character and then they'll give him a pretty generic flaw
00:58:35Like gets angry easily and as a result the character is just not interesting
00:58:40Hmm
00:58:45My character is being humble is critical to his character informs why he doesn't actually stand up for himself. Oh, that's good
00:58:54I kind of like him, you know when like you were talking about um, katara earlier and then how like, um
00:58:58The bride had this idea of like um her going from really like impulsive and angry to like calm and gentle. Yeah
00:59:06I was thinking because like
00:59:07I kind of have like the opposite thing for like um with um with my character parfait because she starts out
00:59:13It's like you typical like i'm all loving loving hero
00:59:16But the thing is as time went on she she becomes realizing. Hey, i've actually been pent up by rage
00:59:21All this time because of a lot of a lot of awful shit. I'm just gonna like
00:59:26I'm tired of being nice. I just want to go ape shit
00:59:28And she isn't vilified for doing so
00:59:32Oh, yeah
00:59:35I never liked the trend of the trope of the all-loving hero like
00:59:43It's especially in the way in which a character is deemed to be an all-loving hero
00:59:48And then their entire character breaks down once that happens like you take loose in season one talk to the glyph witch
00:59:58Loose in season two loose and sees and then when people talk about loose in season two
01:00:03It's like being nice usually works for loose like no, honey loose kicks ass
01:00:10Yeah, i've always liked the more good is not nice kind of thing yep
01:00:15Good is not nice as my bread and butter
01:00:18Oh me too
01:00:20Because like i'm, I just love it when like i'm I do like characters that of course unfailingly kind
01:00:24But if they if someone like crosses them or their friends are like, all right hands are off bitch. You're getting a pummeling
01:00:33Hmm
01:00:38Again that's what I do with
01:00:39I do with parfait like whenever someone crosses her or her friends like she just she goes
01:00:44I was like in complete rage mode because you know, no one messes with her or her friends because she has too much respect for them
01:00:55Being nice usually works for loose meanwhile loose free them now
01:01:04So
01:01:06Similarly to tenzin lynn is also trying to hold up the family legacy in a way
01:01:11Becoming chief of police in republic city is a way to make her mother proud
01:01:14But lynn is unaware of the fact that toph quit the police because she realized what a cynical never-ending waste of time
01:01:19The whole thing was when I was chief of police of republic city
01:01:23An apology for the way you treated her last night
01:01:25I
01:01:30Don't even think about oh, what are you going to do? So you're robbing stores with the
01:01:42Hold up the family legacy in a way becoming chief of police in republic city as a way to make her mother proud but
01:01:51Through you
01:01:52You know what I already talked about this years ago and
01:01:56Mom did to protect you. She didn't feel worthy of her badge
01:02:00You think she wanted to retire?
01:02:10Because she realized what a cynical never-ending
01:02:12But lynn is unaware of the fact that toph quit the police because she realized what a cynical never-ending waste of time
01:02:18When I was chief of police of republic city, I worked my butt off busting criminals
01:02:25But did that make crime disappear?
01:02:27Nope
01:02:28If there's one thing I learned on the beat
01:02:31It's that the names change, but the street stays the same unlike tenzin
01:02:36Lynn wasn't exactly raised in a warm and loving home toph was a neglectful mother giving her children too much free
01:02:45Unlike tenzin
01:02:48Tenzin
01:02:50Tenzin
01:03:01Wow
01:03:05Sue what are you sue? What are you doing home?
01:03:09Oh
01:03:15Wasn't exactly raised in a warm and loving home
01:03:17Toph was a neglectful mother giving her children too much freedom and using her position as chief of police to shield them from the
01:03:23consequences of their actions
01:03:30Stakes lynn mama
01:03:33Wait, you can't cover this up. There were witnesses
01:03:37I'm the chief of police. I can't have a daughter in jail. So what?
01:03:46And using her position as chief of police to shield them from the consequences of their actions as a result
01:03:51Lynn is emotionally stilted cold and often extremely authoritarian in response to the aloofness of her mother lynn and korra have a
01:04:02Mother lynn and korra have a rather adversarial relationship at first
01:04:05But once korra impresses her in a pro bending match lynn shifts to being the most stifling and controlling babysitter. Korra could ever have
01:04:15Cooped up and hidden away from for today's
01:04:17I'll be like, oh shit. I'd rather have you as an enemy than babysit. Jesus christ
01:04:23Lynn, you're tough stuff ancient history and it's got diddly squat to do with the mess. You're in right now
01:04:29You can't just waltz in here and dole out vigilante
01:04:33Nothing
01:04:34It's my duty people
01:04:36Oh, I am well aware of who you are and your avatar title might impress some people but not me
01:04:49Relationship at first but once korra impressed relationship at first lynn and korra have a rather adversarial relationship at first, but what?
01:05:03I mean the explanation
01:05:24Show I look forward
01:05:33Best shot
01:05:56Anytime
01:06:03Oh shit
01:06:07Even if someone cosplaying as korra is just like what the fuck just happened
01:06:25Anytime chung
01:06:33I
01:06:43Can't believe your sweet-tempered father was
01:06:49Impresses her in a pro bending match lynn shifts to being the most stifling and controlling babysitter korra
01:06:58It's like please
01:07:00Korra's interesting do something
01:07:05Here then i'm not safe anywhere I have to stop them. It's too dangerous. You are not going
01:07:09Stop trying to protect me. I'm the avatar. This is my job. Don't lecture me about jobs
01:07:19Shifts to being the most stifling and controlling
01:07:23Shifts to being the most stifling and controlling babysitter korra could ever have in season three
01:07:28Red lotus are free and after korra lynn proves to be the biggest barrier to korra actually doing her job as the avatar
01:07:38Back to republic city where I can protect you no
01:07:42I'm not running korra. You don't understand these criminals are like nothing you've ever faced before
01:07:48No one knows what their motive was now. We need to get
01:07:50It
01:07:56In season three
01:07:57Especially once the red lotus are free and after korra lynn proves to be the biggest barrier to korra actually doing her job as the avatar
01:08:03Often talking to her like a parent chastising a child like with the rest of korra's babysitters
01:08:08I don't care for this but it is at least keeping with the theme of a controlling authoritarian metal bender lynn's role in the story
01:08:13Is
01:08:21So
01:08:32Like with the rest of korra's babysitters, I don't care for this
01:08:35But it is at least keeping with the theme of a controlling authoritarian metal bender lynn's role in the story is the one that shifts
01:08:41the most
01:08:43You
01:08:46Move in but I don't want you going there i'd rest up. Thanks. We just got a call on the radio about another airbender
01:08:53I think she wants
01:08:54While you're playing fetch for the most dangerous criminals in the world are hunting you down. We should get moving relax
01:09:00We just got here besides no one knows where I am right now, except us
01:09:07I think she wants you to throw it for her
01:09:13Thanks, we just got a call on the radio about shut up the home of the metal
01:09:19I'd rest a lot easier if you were back safe in republic city. Sorry, but if there's a metal clan, you know the place
01:09:25Uh never been but I don't
01:09:28Uh, uh never been
01:09:35Best of korra's babysitters
01:09:37I don't care for this
01:09:38But it is at least keeping with the theme of a controlling authoritarian metal bender lynn's role in the story is the one that shifts
01:09:43metal bender lynn's role in the story is the one that shifts the
01:09:51Most
01:09:54Lyn's role in the story is the one that shifts the most becoming the closest to an outright
01:09:58Antagonistic force in the first and third seasons and weirdly absent in the fourth in the third role in the story is the one that shifts
01:10:04the most becoming the closest to an outright antagonistic force in the first and third
01:10:11antagonistic force in the first and third seasons and
01:10:23oh god
01:10:27you okay back spasm oh
01:10:34i'm all right okay good
01:10:57it's an inspiration vendors gather together in in peace to watch benders beat each other up
01:11:04in peace it's an inspiration to everyone i appreciate your this meeting is adjourned
01:11:16i can't believe i'm saying this
01:11:25is the one that shifts the most becoming the closest to an outright antagonistic force in
01:11:29the first and third seasons and weirdly absent in the fourth in the third season we unpack a
01:11:33lot of the drama with her mother and sister rather stubbornly refusing to accept that her
01:11:37family are different people now lynn has been isolated from everyone we've been a different
01:11:42person we were in mom's office we unpack a lot of the drama with her mother and sister rather
01:11:52stubbornly refusing to accept that her family are different people now lynn has been isolated
01:11:56from everyone ignorant to the fact that you she didn't feel worth it she was a hero you think she
01:12:04wanted to return and isolated from everyone ignorant to the fact that she has nieces and
01:12:15nephews and ignorant to the fact that sue yin and top worked things out a long time ago she
01:12:19stops just short of screaming liar and straight up attacks her sister having grabbed too much of her
01:12:25if you had got chef who cooked you through you okay
01:12:42straight up attacks her sister having grabbed too much of herself and being the only normal one in
01:12:46a messed up family and confronting the fact that she's actually the one who's done the least growing
01:12:50out of all of them while this story for lynn is technically good i actually like it the least
01:12:55because it's part of season three's rather tangled mess of subplots that
01:13:02the place fighting is all
01:13:11sorry for lynn is technically good i actually like it the least because it's part of season
01:13:16three's rather tangled mess of subplots that exists mostly to tie up loose ends and drag out
01:13:21the fact that the entire guiding philosophy of the red lotus doesn't have to tie up loose ends and
01:13:25drag out the fact that the entire guiding philosophy of the red lotus doesn't have
01:13:29enough material to carry out a season on its own like the civil war from the previous season had
01:13:37avatar was never part of our mission if my uncle he allowed me and my friends to remain
01:13:43imprisoned while he pursued his own selfish goals was never words so he betrayed you just
01:13:51with us that night and he covered up his involvement afterwards as a kid why wasn't
01:13:57he caught he wasn't with us that night and he covered up his involvement afterwards
01:14:03so he betrayed you just like he betrayed me yes he allowed me and my friends to remain
01:14:09imprisoned while he pursued his own selfish goals unalak becoming a dark avatar was never
01:14:15part of our mission and what is your mission exactly i want what you want
01:14:25take out the fact that the entire guiding philosophy of the red lotus doesn't have
01:14:29enough material to carry out a season on its own like the civil war from the previous season had
01:14:33i mean why don't you try and stretch get out of my room mom anarchism into 13 episodes you can't do
01:14:38it so instead they beam another four subplots directly into you can't do it so instead they
01:14:58beam another four subplots directly into your eyes and the one with lin and suyin drags on the
01:15:03worst as we watch lin pull a mako and not talk about anything until an acupuncturist forces it
01:15:08out of her chewing on my ear i'm probably gonna see you to know that you are lin you do not have
01:15:22to work while you are here you need to relax i'm fine sure i recognize him i'm fine doesn't
01:15:31take a truth seer to know that you are under a dangerous amount
01:15:38oh god is that
01:15:43yes it is i knew it oh my god
01:15:53there is a why because he he voices praise in the outcome series
01:15:57and the one with lin and suyin drags on the worst as we watch lin pull a mako and not talk
01:16:04about anything until an acupuncturist forces it ako and not talk about anything until
01:16:15there will be severe i'm not afraid of needles please close your eyes and take a deep breath
01:16:22this will correct the imbalances in your chi please tell me
01:16:39anything until an acupuncturist forces it out of her this was another episode i had to watch
01:16:43twice during the first draft acupuncturist forces it out of her this was another episode
01:16:52i had to watch twice during the first draft because the episode was putting me to sleep
01:17:00look i know i'm gonna get flack for this but let's be honest i get flack for breathing
01:17:04the wrong way i just don't give a fuck about lin it's not that i dislike her but
01:17:10so you're robbing stores
01:17:22i'm done here
01:17:39look i know i'm gonna get flack for this but let's be honest i get flack for breathing the
01:17:43wrong way i just don't give a fuck about lin it's not that i dislike her but oftentimes
01:17:48she's such an obstructive member of the cast often infantilizes the main character
01:17:52and her go-to response to people not fitting her expectations
01:17:56so
01:18:12to all of you vendors out there
01:18:17it seems fitting that you celebrate three bullies who cheated their way to victory
01:18:22because every day uh stevie boy
01:18:28everything just please don't wait please i'll be honest it is fun watching this
01:18:33wormy little bastard uh beg wait please don't do this i'll give you the championship pot
01:18:40i'll give you everything just championship pot i'll give you everything just please don't take
01:18:44my bending
01:18:57championship pot i'll give you everything just please don't take my bending
01:19:04three bullies who cheated their way to victory
01:19:08i believe i have your attention vendors of republic city
01:19:12so once again the wolf bats are your pro bending champions it seems fitting that you celebrate
01:19:18three bullies who cheated their way to victory because every day you threaten and abuse your
01:19:25fellow non-bending citizens just like the wolf bats did to their opponents tonight
01:19:32those men were supposedly the best in the bending world and yet it only took a few moments for me to
01:19:39cleanse them of their impurity
01:19:59but i dislike her but oftentimes she's such an obstructive member of the cast
01:20:03often infantilizes the main character and her go-to response to people not fitting her
01:20:07expectations of them is to scream and attack when she attacks sue in season
01:20:11three sue delivers a line that actually really resonates with me
01:20:18person maybe you could
01:20:24attack sue in season three sue delivers a line that actually really resonates with me
01:20:38oh okay i guess this is how it's going to be
01:20:43the resignation in her voice before jumping into a fight
01:20:48okay i guess this is how it's going to be
01:20:57should i stop you don't have any siblings fighting is all part of the healing process
01:21:03oh
01:21:13the resignation in her voice before jumping into a fight she almost sounds bored it was at this
01:21:19moment i realized why it didn't exhaust me so much if you've ever had a sibling like this who hasn't
01:21:25really you're talking to her i'm chief
01:21:38you've ever had a sibling like if you've ever had a sibling like this who if you've ever had
01:21:43a sibling like this who hasn't really matured past the age of 17 and is still having these petty
01:21:49adolescent fights well into her adulthood you know they're just exhausting to be around yeah

01:27:56oh thanks lola
01:28:11the other hand outright infuriates me though that's less because of her
01:28:14character and more of how her character is used
01:28:25and imposing my ideals on an entire nation i'm afraid i can't help you the world leaders trust
01:28:41you and as a beifong you have credibility in the earth kingdom i'm honored that you thought of me
01:28:46because of her character and more of how her character is used soo yin as a child was more of
01:28:56a chaotic rule breaker compared to her sister but in her adulthood founded
01:29:02so

01:29:41her own hippie commune out in the middle of nowhere compared to her sister but if
01:29:53so
01:30:11nowhere where she had six kids batar juan opal way wing and later she adopted kuvera during the
01:30:17conflict with the earth queen soo yin is actually very opinionated about the role of a monarchy in
01:30:21modern society what's courage to reach his no why
01:30:34i have to no it's okay it's okay well you should start the world is
01:30:46earth queen soo yin is actually very opinionated about the role of a monarchy
01:30:50in modern society but simultaneously she has very little of substance to actually say i mean
01:30:55the idea of even having a queen is so outdated don't you agree korra i i haven't really thought
01:31:01about it too much well you should start the world is evolving and the earth queen can evolve with it
