What makes a good group

[u/Old_Law214]

A reminder that after not seeing each other for 13 years and freeing themselves from prison, the first thing the Red Lotus did was go shopping together for their new villainous outfit and get a haircut before committing their terrorist attack on the Earth Kingdom. This tells us that if we're going to do something, we have to do it with style. ✌️

Gotta keep it fresh to death.

[u/SomethingGouda]

You gotta aura farm

[u/Amazingqueen97 → u/SomethingGouda]

Literally just this. We already know all of this

[u/Amazingqueen97 → u/[deleted]]

Nope

[u/Long-Traffic5824]

One of the things I loved about this group is that how much they actually reminded me of anarchist friend groups (in the sense that they couldnt see each other for a long while, have all dated each other, can throw hands and have awesome hair)

[u/PsychoBugler → u/Long-Traffic5824]

They're 100% a polycule.

[u/Long-Traffic5824 → u/Long-Traffic5824]

And I also sensed that they had a lot of respect, care and trust for each other, which makes this villainous group quite fresh and humanized. To paraphrase a giant fire squid, they truly were F.R.I.E.N.D.S, weren't they?

[u/Pyrotyrano]

Can’t destroy world governments whilst looking like a bunch of hobos who just came out of prison after all

[u/HersheyNaysh]

REAL

[u/Emergency_Elephant]

The thing thats really interesting about the appearance changes is that they change their hairstyle and clothing to better fit with their element. Zaheer is the most obvious, with his shaved head and air nomad clothing. P'Li is my favorite though because her new hairstyle removes hair from near her forehead so it doesnt catch on fire

[u/Edna_with_a_katana]

Hey, gotta leave a lasting impression

[u/HuntressShu]

A tall fiery woman. Ha ha!!!

[u/Roary-the-Arcanine]

Cooperation, of course.

[u/BreakMyFate]

Diversity, synergy, companionship, trust

[u/LawTider]

They have great synergy, but I think they should’ve had a choreographed pose like the Ginyu force

[u/Striking-Treacle3199]

Air, earth, water, fire. 😂

[u/Ok_Somewhere1236]

i really wish we got a "villain" episode with this group like "Zuko Alone" and "Amber Island"

[u/Burdensome_Banshee]

Long hair, bearded Zaheer and shirtless Ghazan are really something else.

[u/MonsterIslandMed]

Swag. Being funny. Memorable quotes. And last but not least being a bad ass fighter

[u/weirdhoonter]

Each and every one of them a baddie to the max!

[u/The_Grimsworth]

I don't Need their backstories, I need a beach episodes/comic about them just chilling and being fun 😍

[u/Gorilla_Dookie]

3 or more of anything

[u/yellowistherainbow]

2 or more people

[u/SteveOMatt]

Honestly, it's their unity. It would be a little tropy to have one of them die and the leader not care or one of them fail at something so the leader kills them themselves in an act of "weeding out the weak", but the Red Lotus never does that. Every member gets beaten at their best and they all clearly care about each other.

THAT'S what makes a fantastic solid grouping.

Also, one thing worth pointing out is that Zaheer is NOT a bender, or at least he wasn't before Opera gave everyone air bending powers. Three of the strongest and most dangerous benders in the world follow him. Each one knows if they wanted to they could destroy Zaheer in a matter of seconds, but they follow him because they believe in the cause, they have respect for him.

Never realized how short Ming-Hua is. She's just a tired little lady.
