It was at this point that I thought it would have been a great touch if the badass Avatar from the Water Tribe couldn’t swim, that she always just walked on water, but that would probably be asking too much, wouldn’t it? She sneaks into the building and enters a gym. Tenzing doesn’t take any of that attitude from Ikki though, shutting her juice request right down.Īt night, Korra sneaks off and after swimming from the island, ends up at the Pro Bending stadium. She leaves early to grab a juice, stubbornly digging her heels in at her lack of progress. When he says Air is about freedom she laughs, pointing out her current lack of freedom in regards to Pro Bending. Tenzin tries to assure her that it will come to her eventually, it will sink in and then one day just click. The next day Tenzin and his little ones are meditating but Korra continues to fail at even the basics. She isn’t amused but he gets flustered by her attitude and remarks that she should be in bed, and she’s not watching any matches.
Unfortunately, Tenzin comes and crashes her late night listening party. Korra overhears a few Lotus guards listening to a Pro Bending match and sneaks closer to have a listen to the Fire Ferrets play. Later in the night, Korra, back in her Water Tribe colours, is trying her hardest to Airbend but it’s just not happening. Korra takes the challenge on but fails miserably, getting knocked about by the doors like a ping pong ball. His kids are very adept at it as Jinora dances through the spinning panels like the titular leaf in the wind (everyone else think of Wash in Firefly? Didn’t think I was alone). Tenzin uses an old spinning panel contraption to try and illustrate the fundamental movements of Airbenders. Tenzin reassures her that every Avatar has an area they struggle in, something opposite to their very nature. More-so than Korra does, as she states that she is as opposite to an Airbender as an Avatar can be. Jinora, Ikki and Meelo seem very happy about her training in Airbending. She even dons the yellow and red of the Air Nomads to go to her lesson. Tenzin moves on to training her in Airbending. He even calls it drivel! Korra wants to go see it but that idea is swiftly rebuffed, and Korra points out that she is under watch from the White Lotus, making it no different from her former icy confinement. Unfortunately, Master Tenzin doesn’t share mine and Korra’s excitement.
When I read that there was going to be a bending based sport I was giddy as well. The episode starts with Korra excitedly reading about a Pro Bending match. The first episode finished and my euphoria started to wane and then bang! God struck and there was episode number two, “A Leaf in the Wind”.
The Legend of Korra is clearly one of God’s new favourite shows.
