Video One second from every episode of The Legend of Korra.
Except from the finales which have two clips and the final episode which has a longer clip.

Damnit, what a gorgeous series.

It’s one of those series where you feel lucky to be born just in time to experience them lol.
Atla and Lok have such a special place in my soul.

I feel so lucky to have been following Korra while it was releasing and getting a new episode every week… what a treat.
46
u/douroumou Aug 03 '25
I feel bad for the people who never gave a chance to Lok. They are truly missing out.
I am lucky to grow up while both shows were airing. I personally don’t even think of Lok and Atla as two separate shows.

u/christina_talks Aug 03 '25
I got to have that experience with ATLA as well. I still remember how excited I was when that first image of Korra looking out over Republic City was released.

As I was watching I started crying just cuz of memories growing up with it and also the amazing edit.

For a lot of books, movies, tv series, games etc. nostalgia makes them seem better in hindsight than they really were. LoK is one of these rare examples where it's the opposite - whenever I see clips of the show (or better yet - whenever I am rewatching it) I am swept away, as it always is much better than I remember it. This clip is one of these reminders I get every once in a while.

u/un_caracolito Aug 03 '25
it had its issues because of how it was treated, but damn. it was still really good. I enjoy it just as much as ATLA.

u/Knot-Knight Aug 04 '25
It had issues because the writing wasn't as good as AtLA (which is SUCH a high bar). I absolutely love LoK, but season two is rough in the writing department. It's a great show with some weak points
1
u/lucky375 Aug 04 '25
It's an overall decent show, but not a great show in my opinion. Season 1 needed to get rid of the relationship nonsense. Season 2 was just not good. Season 3 needed to give us a well written villain. Season 4 was the best season.

u/SnagTheRabbit Aug 04 '25
It's really not that solidly written unfortunately. I think a lot of people tend to overinflate how bad it is, but it's still not that great.

u/El_nino_sin_amor Aug 03 '25
The background score, choosing the perfect scenes and making the most artistic video of korra ever, the last seconds paired with the music gave me literal goosebumps and tears. I have no words to describe how beautiful this edit is, reminds me of how happy and excited i was while watching korra and still makes me sad to see her go away. Thank you for making it ;)

u/douroumou Aug 03 '25
This is making me so emotional. I am so glad you enjoyed it.
I had such a hard time choosing which clips to select from each episode but I think it turned out good.

u/crinklecunt-cookie Aug 03 '25
I’ve cried watching films/tv maybe only twice in my life and I just teared up a whole lot watching this. Your selections from each episode are fantastic and timed so well with the music, which was also a perfect pick. You did an excellent job making this. 💙
Thank you so much for ending with Korra and Asami walking off together. As a queer person, it meant a great deal to me to see their relationship broadcast to the world. Visibility is so important, now more than ever. So, thank you for continuing on with that.

I am quite active there as well and there are quite a few. Not as many as they used to be though.

I will admit I don't keep the posts filtered by "new" anymore, so it's possible those posts just don't get popular enough to get to the "hot" section.

The story and the writing is pretty weak….
They are not bad just not as good as the show.

Masterpiece. Masterpiece. Masterpiece. Any fan of ATLA who isn't a fan of LOK strikes me as someone who didn't get it, or just didn't give Korra the chance she deserves. Phenomenal writing, conflict, development, and bending.

u/aromaticchicken Aug 03 '25
OP you have excellent taste and judgment. This was so well done! A mix of some of the huge "omg wtf!!! moments" as well as some of the most emotionally intense/moving ones as well.

I need to rewatch this.

u/MimikPanik Aug 04 '25
This is legit why Korra is my favorite of the two avatar shows, and overall why Korra is the best avatar IMO. Aang was great, and I love ATLA, but TLOK tugged at my heart strings more than ATLA ever did. It’s why when I rewatch avatar, I watch ATLA once and TLOK twice. Making me remember why I love this franchise so much, and I’m saving this to my phone because it’s beautiful.

This show was so good! I never get the hate about it: maybe some ATLA fans just wanted the exact same thing and were disappointed by a more mature approach?

Book 2 of Lok was unfortunately very weak and at times bad. This thew of a lot of people.

I haven’t done an atla one cause for some reason I always like editing Korra more.
Now with Korra’s death I am an a very heavy Korra era.
But it’s very possible that I will make one for Atla as well.

I love everything about the legend of Korra, except the giant fucking mecha at the end, hated the design, hated the idea of it. I also thought the smaller mecha were not as jarring I guess, idk how to put it.

When LOK came out, I loved it, but I found myself thinking I liked ATLA just slightly more. Now looking back, I'm realizing I like them both equally. Korra is so deep and complex that it keeps growing on you. Thanks for this edit--really amazing!

The edit one itself is not hard. No transition. The decision on what to put in it and what to leave out was a nightmare. Also choosing the song was a nightmare because the soundtrack of Lok is so freaking good.

u/Jdawg_mck1996 Aug 03 '25
Most of Korra's problem as a show in comparison to ATLA was that it was multiple stories trying to be told in sections that never got a chance to cook in the oven. Every one of the books of Korra felt flat in their ending because there wasn't nearly as much build up.

u/douroumou Aug 03 '25
I don’t agree. I think every finale of Lok (apart from the disastrous book 2) was fantastic and great in its own ways.
